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 aptitude assessment system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for maximizing the potential of individuals. This aptitude assessment system collects information such as an individual's likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and personality, and the AI determines the individual's aptitude. Furthermore, it provides suggestions for excelling in areas of strength and appropriate support for areas of weakness. This system makes it possible to maximize the abilities of individuals in educational settings and workplaces and realize a society that is flexibly accepting. For example, the aptitude assessment system collects information such as an individual's likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and personality. In this process, detailed information about the individual is collected using questionnaires, tests, etc. For example, information such as favorite subjects, favorite sports, and hobbies can be collected. Next, the aptitude assessment system uses the collected information to determine the individual's aptitude. The AI analyzes the collected information and identifies the individual's aptitude. For example, it can determine an individual's aptitude based on information about favorite subjects and sports. This makes it possible to clarify each individual's areas of strength and weakness. Furthermore, the aptitude assessment system provides suggestions for excelling in areas of strength and appropriate support for areas of weakness. For example, it can suggest teaching materials and programs for further learning in subjects that the individual excels at, and provide supplementary lessons and support in subjects that the individual struggles with. This allows for the maximization of individual abilities. This system enables a society that maximizes individual potential in educational settings and workplaces, and fosters flexible acceptance. For example, in educational settings, it allows for the provision of educational programs tailored to individual aptitudes, and in workplaces, it allows for the assignment of tasks according to individual aptitudes. This creates an environment where individuals can shine, leading to a society where everyone is happy. Ultimately, this aptitude assessment system allows individuals to unleash their full potential.
[0029] The aptitude assessment system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a proposal unit. The collection unit collects personal information.

[0030] The data collection department collects personal information. For example, it can collect detailed personal information using questionnaires and tests. Specifically, it can collect information such as an individual's interests, learning style, and lifestyle through online questionnaires. Online questionnaires are conducted via web browsers and mobile apps, allowing respondents to easily access them from home or any location. Questionnaires incorporate diverse formats, including multiple-choice and open-ended questions, to comprehensively collect detailed information about respondents. When using paper-based questionnaires, they are distributed at schools and workplaces, collected, digitized, and registered in a database. This allows for information collection from respondents who do not have access to online environments. Furthermore, information can also be collected through interviews. Interviews are conducted in person or via video call, with interviewers asking individual questions to collect detailed information about respondents. Interview content is recorded and later transcribed for analysis. The data collection department combines these methods to collect personal information from multiple perspectives and centrally manages it in a database. The collected information is used as foundational data to understand individual characteristics and tendencies.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the data collection unit to determine aptitude. For example, the analysis unit can identify individual strengths and weaknesses based on the collected information.

Data mining techniques are methods for discovering useful information from large amounts of data, and employ techniques such as clustering and association analysis. For example, clustering is used to group respondents based on their interests and concerns, and to clarify the characteristics of each group. Association analysis is used to analyze how specific interests relate to other interests. Furthermore, statistical analysis techniques are used to analyze the distribution and correlation of the collected data. Statistical analysis techniques are methods for quantitatively evaluating the characteristics of data by calculating the mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, etc. For example, the correlation between preferred subjects and academic performance is analyzed to identify areas of strength. In addition, machine learning algorithms are used to build models that predict aptitude from the collected data. Machine learning algorithms are methods for building predictive models by learning from past data and predicting aptitude for new data. For example, algorithms such as decision trees, random forests, and support vector machines are used to predict individual aptitudes. This allows the analysis unit to analyze the collected data from multiple perspectives and accurately determine individual aptitudes.
[0032] The Proposal Department makes proposals based on the aptitude assessment results obtained by the Analysis Department. For example, the Proposal Department can propose learning materials and programs to deepen learning in areas of strength.

For example, the data collection unit can input the user's social media data into a generating AI and have the generating AI collect relevant information.
[0040] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the collected information during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can perform a detailed analysis on important information and provide specific suggestions. For example, the analysis unit can perform a concise analysis on less important information and provide an overview. For example, the analysis unit can determine the priority of the analysis according to the importance of the information and perform the analysis efficiently. In this way, by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the collected information, the analysis can be performed efficiently. 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 the collected information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the analysis.
[0041] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of information during analysis. For example, the analysis unit applies an analysis algorithm specifically for academic information. For example, the analysis unit applies a sports-specific analysis algorithm to sports-related information. For example, the analysis unit applies a hobby-specific analysis algorithm to hobby-related information. By applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category of information, more accurate analysis results can be provided. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input information category data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of different analysis algorithms.
[0042] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the information submission date during the analysis process.

Next, the aptitude assessment system uses the collected information to determine the individual's aptitude. The AI analyzes the collected information and identifies the individual's aptitude. For example, it can determine an individual's aptitude based on information about favorite subjects and sports. This makes it possible to clarify each individual's areas of strength and weakness. Furthermore, the aptitude assessment system provides suggestions for excelling in areas of strength and appropriate support for areas of weakness. For example, it can suggest teaching materials and programs for further learning in subjects that the individual excels at, and provide supplementary lessons and support in subjects that the individual struggles with. This allows for the maximization of individual abilities. This system enables a society that maximizes individual potential in educational settings and workplaces, and fosters flexible acceptance. For example, in educational settings, it allows for the provision of educational programs tailored to individual aptitudes, and in workplaces, it allows for the assignment of tasks according to individual aptitudes. This creates an environment where individuals can shine, leading to a society where everyone is happy. Ultimately, this aptitude assessment system allows individuals to unleash their full potential.
[0057] The aptitude assessment system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a proposal unit. The collection unit collects personal information. The collection unit can collect detailed personal information, for example, using questionnaires or tests. The collection unit can collect information such as favorite subjects, favorite sports, and hobbies. The collection unit can also collect information using online questionnaires, for example. The collection unit can also collect information using paper-based questionnaires, for example. The collection unit can also collect information through interviews, for example. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and determines aptitude. The analysis unit can identify individual strengths and weaknesses based on the collected information, for example. The analysis unit can analyze information using data mining techniques, for example. The analysis unit can analyze information using statistical analysis techniques, for example.

[0058] The data collection department collects personal information. For example, it can collect detailed personal information using questionnaires and tests. Specifically, it can collect information such as an individual's interests, learning style, and lifestyle through online questionnaires. Online questionnaires are conducted via web browsers and mobile apps, allowing respondents to easily access them from home or any location. Questionnaires incorporate diverse formats, including multiple-choice and open-ended questions, to comprehensively collect detailed information about respondents. When using paper-based questionnaires, they are distributed at schools and workplaces, collected, digitized, and registered in a database. This allows for information collection from respondents who do not have access to online environments. Furthermore, information can also be collected through interviews. Interviews are conducted in person or via video call, with interviewers asking individual questions to collect detailed information about respondents. Interview content is recorded and later transcribed for analysis. The data collection department combines these methods to collect personal information from multiple perspectives and centrally manages it in a database. The collected information is used as foundational data to understand individual characteristics and tendencies.
[0059] The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the data collection unit to determine aptitude. For example, the analysis unit can identify individual strengths and weaknesses based on the collected information. Specifically, it uses data mining techniques to extract patterns and trends from the collected data. Data mining techniques are methods for discovering useful information from large amounts of data, and employ techniques such as clustering and association analysis. For example, clustering is used to group respondents based on their interests and concerns, and to clarify the characteristics of each group. Association analysis is used to analyze how specific interests relate to other interests. Furthermore, statistical analysis techniques are used to analyze the distribution and correlation of the collected data. Statistical analysis techniques are methods for quantitatively evaluating the characteristics of data by calculating the mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, etc. For example, the correlation between preferred subjects and academic performance is analyzed to identify areas of strength. In addition, machine learning algorithms are used to build models that predict aptitude from the collected data. Machine learning algorithms are methods for building predictive models by learning from past data and predicting aptitude for new data. For example, algorithms such as decision trees, random forests, and support vector machines are used to predict individual aptitudes. This allows the analysis unit to analyze the collected data from multiple perspectives and accurately determine individual aptitudes.

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.
[0109] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60.

[0131] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0132] 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.

[0144] 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 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.
[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.
[0147] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the 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 collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and collects detailed personal information using questionnaires and tests. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and identifies individual strengths and weaknesses based on the collected information. The proposal unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes educational materials and programs for in-depth learning in strengths and provides supplementary lessons and support in weaknesses. 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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."
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing.

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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
