The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52.

[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12.

[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure.

The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes the progress and efficiency of team members' work in a remote work environment and automatically proposes optimal task assignments and meeting timings. The AI agent system collects each member's progress and schedule, analyzes the collected data, and proposes optimal task assignments and meeting timings. This mechanism supports improved productivity in a remote work environment. For example, the AI agent system collects each member's progress and schedule. In this process, it obtains data from task management tools and calendar apps used by each member. For example, it collects information such as the completion status of tasks and scheduled meetings. This allows the system to understand the current status of each member. Next, the AI agent system analyzes the collected data. The AI analyzes the collected data to evaluate the progress and efficiency of each member's tasks. For example, it evaluates the speed of task completion and meeting attendance rates. This allows the system to quantitatively evaluate the efficiency and progress of each member. Furthermore, based on the evaluation results, the AI agent system proposes optimal task assignments and meeting timings. The AI optimizes task assignments and meeting timings, taking into account the efficiency and progress of each member. For example, tasks can be reduced for members who are behind schedule and increased for highly efficient members. Meeting times can also be suggested to optimize the schedule, taking each member's availability into consideration. This improves the overall productivity of the team. The AI agent system streamlines communication and task management in remote work environments, improving work efficiency. For instance, the visualization of task progress facilitates smoother communication among team members. Furthermore, the suggestion of optimal task assignments and meeting times reduces wasted time and allows for more efficient work. The objective of this invention is to maximize the overall productivity and efficiency of the team, even in a remote work environment, and to provide employees with a comfortable working environment. This overcomes the challenges of communication and task management inherent in remote work, enabling a more efficient remote work environment.This allows the AI agent system to support increased productivity in remote work environments.
[0029] The AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, and a proposal unit. The data collection unit collects the progress and schedule of each member. The data collection unit obtains data from, for example, task management tools or calendar applications used by each member. The data collection unit collects, for example, information on task completion status and scheduled meetings. This allows the data collection unit to understand the current status of each member. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data to evaluate, for example, the progress and efficiency of each member's tasks. The analysis unit evaluates, for example, the speed of task completion and meeting attendance rates. This allows the analysis unit to quantitatively evaluate the efficiency and progress of each member. The proposal unit proposes optimal task assignments and meeting timings based on the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit. The proposal unit optimizes task assignments and meeting timings, for example, by considering the efficiency and progress of each member. The proposal unit reduces the tasks of members who are behind schedule and increases the tasks of highly efficient members. The proposal team also suggests the optimal meeting time, taking into account each member's schedule. This allows the AI agent system, according to the embodiment, to support improved productivity in a remote work environment.
[0030] The data collection department collects the progress and schedules of each member. Specifically, it obtains data from the task management tools and calendar apps used by each member. For example, from task management tools, it collects information such as the progress of tasks each member is responsible for, the start and end dates of tasks, and the priority of tasks. From calendar apps, it collects information such as information on meetings and events each member is scheduled to attend, the start and end times of meetings, and the list of meeting participants. By regularly acquiring this data and updating it in real time, the data collection department can accurately grasp the current status of each member. Furthermore, the data collection department can also collect data from each member's communication tools. For example, by analyzing the frequency and content of each member's communication from chat tools and email, it can understand the communication situation within the team. This allows the data collection department to understand not only the progress and schedule of each member's tasks, but also the communication situation of the entire team. The data collection department centrally manages this data and can link it with other departments and systems as needed. For example, the collected data is stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis department and the proposal department. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The Analysis Department analyzes the data collected by the Data Collection Department. Specifically, it analyzes the collected data to evaluate the progress and efficiency of each member's tasks. For example, it evaluates the speed of task completion, meeting attendance rates, and progress based on task priority. The Analysis Department uses AI to analyze this data and quantitatively evaluate the efficiency and progress of each member. The AI uses machine learning algorithms to learn each member's work patterns and efficiency trends from past data and evaluates each member's performance by comparing them with current data. For example, to evaluate the speed of task completion, it compares the completion time of past tasks with the completion time of current tasks to calculate each member's work efficiency. Also, to evaluate meeting attendance rates, it compares past meeting attendance data with current meeting attendance data to evaluate each member's participation in meetings. Furthermore, the Analysis Department can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue warnings early. For example, if a particular member's task progress suddenly slows down or the meeting attendance rate suddenly drops, it will be detected as an anomaly and the manager will be notified. This allows the analysis department to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and security of the entire system.
[0032] The proposal department proposes optimal task assignments and meeting timings based on evaluation results obtained by the analysis department. Specifically, it optimizes task assignments and meeting timings considering the efficiency and progress of each member. For example, it reduces tasks for members who are behind schedule and increases tasks for highly efficient members. It also proposes optimal meeting times considering each member's schedule. The proposal department uses AI to make these proposals. The AI analyzes each member's schedule and task progress to calculate optimal task assignments and meeting timings. For example, it analyzes each member's schedule and proposes the optimal meeting time that everyone can attend. It also analyzes each member's task progress and proposes optimal task assignments based on task priority and urgency. Furthermore, the proposal department can collect feedback from each member and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its proposals. For example, it reviews and improves proposals based on feedback from each member regarding the proposed task assignments and meeting timings. In addition, the proposal department can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, it uses not only smartphone notifications but also voice calls and emails to ensure that important information is delivered reliably. This allows the proposal department to provide each member with the most suitable proposal quickly and reliably, supporting improved productivity in a remote work environment.
[0033] The data collection unit can acquire data from task management tools and calendar apps used by each member. For example, the data collection unit can acquire task completion status from the task management tools used by each member. The data collection unit can also acquire information about scheduled meetings from the calendar apps used by each member. This allows the data collection unit to accurately understand the progress and schedule of each member. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the data collection unit can input data acquired from task management tools and calendar apps into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform data analysis.
[0034] The analysis unit can analyze the collected data and evaluate the progress and efficiency of each member's tasks. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the completion rate and adherence to deadlines of each member's tasks based on the collected data. The analysis unit can also evaluate the processing speed and resource utilization efficiency of each member's tasks. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate each member's progress based on the completion rate of tasks. The analysis unit can also evaluate each member's efficiency based on adherence to deadlines. This allows the analysis unit to quantitatively evaluate the efficiency and progress of each member. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the collected data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the data analysis.
[0035] Based on the evaluation results, the proposal department can propose reducing the tasks of members who are behind schedule and increasing the tasks of highly efficient members. For example, the proposal department can propose reducing the tasks of members who are behind schedule. The proposal department can also propose increasing the tasks of highly efficient members. For example, the proposal department can propose reducing the number of tasks of members who are behind schedule. The proposal department can also propose increasing the number of tasks of highly efficient members. This allows the proposal department to allocate tasks according to the efficiency of each member. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal department may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the proposal department can input the evaluation results into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute task allocation proposals.
[0036] The proposal department can suggest the optimal timing for meetings, taking into account each member's schedule. For example, the proposal department can suggest the optimal timing for meetings based on each member's schedule. The proposal department can also suggest the optimal timing for meetings, taking into account each member's availability and the progress of the project. For example, the proposal department can suggest the optimal timing for meetings based on each member's availability. The proposal department can also suggest the optimal timing for meetings based on the progress of the project. By optimizing meeting timing, the proposal department can reduce wasted time and proceed with work efficiently. Some or all of the above processes in the proposal department may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the proposal department can input each member's schedule data into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate suggestions for the optimal timing for meetings.
[0037] The data collection unit can analyze each member's past data collection history and select the optimal collection method. For example, the data collection unit can select the most efficient collection method based on each member's past data collection history. The data collection unit can also analyze each member's past data collection history and optimize the collection frequency. For example, the data collection unit can adjust the collection timing based on each member's past data collection history. This enables efficient data collection by allowing the data collection unit to select the optimal collection method based on past data collection history. Some or all of the above processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input past data collection history into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal collection method.
[0038] The data collection unit can filter data based on each member's current projects and areas of interest during data collection. For example, the data collection unit can collect only data related to each member's current projects. The data collection unit can also prioritize the collection of highly relevant data based on each member's areas of interest. For example, the data collection unit can filter and collect data related to each member's current tasks. This allows the data collection unit to prioritize the collection of data related to each member's current projects and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the data collection unit can input data on each member's projects and areas of interest into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0039] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the geographical location information of each member during data collection. For example, the data collection unit prioritizes the collection of highly relevant data based on each member's current location. The data collection unit can also select the optimal data collection method by considering the geographical location information of each member. For example, the data collection unit adjusts the collection timing based on each member's geographical location information. In this way, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the geographical location information of each member. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input each member's geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the collection of highly relevant data.
[0040] The data collection unit can analyze each member's social media activity and collect relevant data during data collection. For example, the data collection unit can analyze each member's social media activity and prioritize the collection of relevant data. The data collection unit can also select the optimal data collection method based on each member's social media activity. For example, the data collection unit can adjust the timing of data collection based on each member's social media activity. This allows the data collection unit to prioritize the collection of relevant data by analyzing each member's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input each member's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI collect the relevant data.
[0041] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of each member's task during data analysis. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis based on the importance of each member's task. The analysis unit can also determine the priority of the analysis according to the importance of each member's task. For example, the analysis unit adjusts the level of detail of the analysis considering the importance of each member's task. This enables efficient data analysis by allowing the analysis unit to adjust the level of detail according to the importance of each member's task. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the importance data of each member's task into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the analysis.
[0042] The analysis department can apply different analysis algorithms to data analysis depending on each member's role and job responsibilities. For example, the analysis department can select the optimal analysis algorithm according to each member's role. The analysis department can also apply different analysis algorithms based on each member's job responsibilities. For example, the analysis department can adjust the analysis algorithm considering each member's role and job responsibilities. This enables efficient data analysis by applying the optimal analysis algorithm according to each member's role and job responsibilities. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis department may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI.

[0047] The analytics department can predict future performance based on each member's past performance data. For example, it can predict each member's future performance based on past task completion speed and meeting attendance rates. The analytics department can also analyze the success and failure rates of past projects to assess the risks of future projects. This allows the analytics department to predict future performance and manage risks.
[0048] The proposal team can propose optimal task assignments by considering each member's skill set. For example, the proposal team can analyze each member's skill profile and assign tasks according to their skills.

The proposal team also suggests the optimal meeting time, taking into account each member's schedule. This allows the AI agent system, according to the embodiment, to support improved productivity in a remote work environment.
[0054] The data collection department collects the progress and schedules of each member. Specifically, it obtains data from the task management tools and calendar apps used by each member. For example, from task management tools, it collects information such as the progress of tasks each member is responsible for, the start and end dates of tasks, and the priority of tasks. From calendar apps, it collects information such as information on meetings and events each member is scheduled to attend, the start and end times of meetings, and the list of meeting participants. By regularly acquiring this data and updating it in real time, the data collection department can accurately grasp the current status of each member. Furthermore, the data collection department can also collect data from each member's communication tools. For example, by analyzing the frequency and content of each member's communication from chat tools and email, it can understand the communication situation within the team. This allows the data collection department to understand not only the progress and schedule of each member's tasks, but also the communication situation of the entire team. The data collection department centrally manages this data and can link it with other departments and systems as needed. For example, the collected data is stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis department and the proposal department. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0055] The Analysis Department analyzes the data collected by the Data Collection Department. Specifically, it analyzes the collected data to evaluate the progress and efficiency of each member's tasks. For example, it evaluates the speed of task completion, meeting attendance rates, and progress based on task priority. The Analysis Department uses AI to analyze this data and quantitatively evaluate the efficiency and progress of each member. The AI uses machine learning algorithms to learn each member's work patterns and efficiency trends from past data and evaluates each member's performance by comparing them with current data. For example, to evaluate the speed of task completion, it compares the completion time of past tasks with the completion time of current tasks to calculate each member's work efficiency. Also, to evaluate meeting attendance rates, it compares past meeting attendance data with current meeting attendance data to evaluate each member's participation in meetings. Furthermore, the Analysis Department can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue warnings early. For example, if a particular member's task progress suddenly slows down or the meeting attendance rate suddenly drops, it will be detected as an anomaly and the manager will be notified. This allows the analysis department to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and security of the entire system.
[0056] The proposal department proposes optimal task assignments and meeting timings based on evaluation results obtained by the analysis department. Specifically, it optimizes task assignments and meeting timings considering the efficiency and progress of each member. For example, it reduces tasks for members who are behind schedule and increases tasks for highly efficient members. It also proposes optimal meeting times considering each member's schedule. The proposal department uses AI to make these proposals. The AI analyzes each member's schedule and task progress to calculate optimal task assignments and meeting timings. For example, it analyzes each member's schedule and proposes the optimal meeting time that everyone can attend. It also analyzes each member's task progress and proposes optimal task assignments based on task priority and urgency. Furthermore, the proposal department can collect feedback from each member and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its proposals. For example, it reviews and improves proposals based on feedback from each member regarding the proposed task assignments and meeting timings. In addition, the proposal department can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, it uses not only smartphone notifications but also voice calls and emails to ensure that important information is delivered reliably. This allows the proposal department to provide each member with the most suitable proposal quickly and reliably, supporting improved productivity in a remote work environment.

For example, the proposal department can suggest the optimal timing for meetings based on each member's availability. The proposal department can also suggest the optimal timing for meetings based on the progress of the project. By optimizing meeting timing, the proposal department can reduce wasted time and proceed with work efficiently.

[0123] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0124] 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.
[0125] 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.

[0126] 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.
[0127] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. 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.
[0128] 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).
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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.
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.).
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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).

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.
[0138] 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.
[0139] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, and proposal unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and acquires data from each member's task management tool or calendar application. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected data to evaluate the efficiency and progress of each member. The proposal unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes the optimal task assignment and meeting timing based on the evaluation results. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] 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.
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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."
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
