For example, the chat dialogue unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the user's chat messages and provide appropriate responses. Based on the chat messages, the system can display spending information or provide saving advice. As a result, the AI household budgeting assistant "MoneySmart" according to this embodiment can efficiently collect, analyze, suggest, manipulate, and interact with the user's financial information.
[0030] The data collection unit collects users' financial information. For example, it can collect users' bank account information, credit card information, and e-money information. Specifically, the unit obtains account balances and transaction history through bank APIs. Bank APIs can be securely accessed using the user's authentication information to obtain the latest account information. Credit card usage history can be obtained through card company APIs. Card company APIs provide users' card usage history in real time, and the data collection unit retrieves this periodically. E-money balance information can be obtained through e-money service APIs. E-money service APIs provide users' balances and transaction history, and the data collection unit uses this to obtain the latest information. The data collection unit uses these APIs to centrally collect users' financial information and store it in a database. The collected data is then prepared for use by the analysis and proposal units. The data collection unit can adjust the frequency and timing of data collection, enabling flexible data collection tailored to user needs. For example, settings can be configured to collect daily transaction information in real time or to collect it in weekly batches. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently and accurately collect users' financial information, thereby improving the overall performance of the system.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes financial information collected by the data collection unit to understand income and expenses. For example, the analysis unit can analyze a user's income and expenses based on the collected information. Specifically, the analysis unit analyzes monthly income and expenses to understand the balance of income and expenses. Income is calculated based on data such as salary, side job income, and investment returns. Expenses are classified into categories such as food expenses, transportation expenses, entertainment expenses, and utility expenses, and the amount spent in each category is aggregated. Based on this data, the analysis unit calculates the monthly balance of income and expenses and provides it to the user. The analysis unit can also analyze the proportion of expenses in specific categories. For example, it can analyze what percentage of total expenses food expenses account for and present this to the user. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also analyze patterns of fluctuations in income and expenses. Based on past data, it analyzes trends in income and expenses and makes predictions about future income and expenses. For example, based on data from the past few months, it can predict the balance of income and expenses for the next month and present it to the user. The analysis unit can use AI technology to analyze data and make highly accurate predictions. This allows the analysis unit to accurately understand the user's financial situation and provide information for future planning.
[0032] The proposal department suggests saving points and optimal investment options based on the income and expenses analyzed by the analysis department. For example, the proposal department can suggest saving points based on the user's spending habits. Specifically, the proposal department suggests saving techniques to reduce unnecessary expenses. For example, as a way to save on food expenses, it suggests buying in bulk on weekends and reducing eating out while increasing home cooking. As a way to save on transportation expenses, it recommends using public transportation and suggests purchasing a commuter pass. The proposal department can also propose investment plans tailored to the user's lifestyle. For example, it suggests government bonds and corporate bonds as stable investment options with reduced risk. If the user wants to take on more risk and aim for higher returns, it suggests stocks and mutual funds. The proposal department proposes the optimal investment plan according to the user's risk tolerance and investment goals. Furthermore, the proposal department can also provide advice to improve the user's income and expense balance. For example, as a way to increase income, it suggests taking on a side job or obtaining qualifications to improve skills. As a way to reduce expenses, it suggests reviewing fixed costs and canceling unnecessary subscriptions. In this way, the proposal department can improve the user's income and expense balance and support their financial stability.
[0033] The voice control unit accepts user voice commands. For example, the voice control unit can recognize user voice commands and operate the system. Specifically, the voice control unit can accept voice commands such as "Tell me my spending for this month." It can also accept voice commands such as "Give me some saving advice."

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.
[0175] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, voice operation unit, and chat dialogue 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 collects the user's bank account information, credit card information, electronic money information, etc. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected financial information to understand income and expenses. The proposal unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes saving points and optimal investment destinations based on the analysis results. The voice operation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and accepts the user's voice commands. The chat dialogue unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and conducts text-based dialogue with the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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."
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
