For example, the service provider can input the user's social media data into a generating AI and have the generating AI propose the most suitable support method.
[0084] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0085] The support unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of support based on those estimates. For example, if a user is feeling stressed, it can immediately provide stress-reducing support. If a user is relaxed, it can refrain from providing support and only provide it when necessary. It can also dynamically adjust the timing of support in response to changes in the user's emotions. For example, if a user suddenly starts feeling stressed, it can immediately suggest ways to relax. This allows for support to be provided at the optimal time according to the user's emotions.
[0086] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the notification method of the analysis results based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it provides a simple and highly visible notification method. If the user is relaxed, it provides a notification method that includes detailed information. It can also dynamically adjust the notification method in response to changes in the user's emotions. For example, if the user suddenly starts feeling stressed, it provides a concise notification with only the necessary information. This allows for the provision of the most appropriate notification method according to the user's emotions.
[0087] The support unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the support content based on those estimates. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can provide specific advice to reduce stress. If the user is relaxed, it can provide light advice to help maintain that relaxation. It can also dynamically adjust the support content in response to changes in the user's emotions. For example, if the user suddenly starts feeling stressed, it can immediately suggest ways to relax. This allows the system to provide the most appropriate support content according to the user's emotions.
[0088] The data collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the data collection method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it collects detailed data. If the user is relaxed, it collects only the minimum necessary data. It can also dynamically adjust the data collection method in response to changes in the user's emotions. For example, if the user suddenly starts to feel stressed, it collects detailed data and provides it to the analysis unit. This allows for the provision of the optimal data collection method according to the user's emotions.
[0089] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the analysis priority based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it will prioritize analyzing stress-related data. If the user is relaxed, it will prioritize analyzing relaxation-related data. It can also dynamically adjust the analysis priority in response to changes in the user's emotions. For example, if the user suddenly starts feeling stressed, it will immediately analyze stress-related data. This allows the system to provide the optimal analysis priority according to the user's emotions.
[0090] The support department can analyze users' past behavior patterns and select the most appropriate support method. For example, it can optimize the content of support based on actions users have frequently performed in the past. By analyzing users' past behavior patterns, it can optimize the timing and method of support. For example, it can analyze users' past travel history and digital device usage history to concentrate support during specific time periods. It can also analyze users' behavior patterns to select the most effective support method. In this way, by analyzing users' past behavior patterns, it is possible to provide the most optimal support method.
[0091] The support team can provide optimal support by considering the user's geographical location. For example, if a user is in a specific location, they can provide support relevant to that location. The system can monitor the user's geographical location in real time and provide relevant support. For example, it can select the most appropriate support method based on the user's current location. It can also provide highly relevant support based on the user's current location. In this way, by considering the user's geographical location, the system can provide optimal support.
[0092] The service provider can analyze users' social media activity and propose support measures. For example, it can analyze the content of users' social media posts and propose the most suitable support measures. It can also monitor users' social media activity in real time and propose relevant support measures. For example, it can analyze the content of users' social media posts using text analysis technology and propose the most suitable support measures. Furthermore, it can propose support measures of interest based on users' social media activity. In this way, by analyzing users' social media activity, the service provider can provide the most suitable support measures.
[0093] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the data collection timing. For example, it can prioritize the analysis of the most recent data. It can also evaluate the data collection timing and dynamically adjust the analysis priority according to the collection timing. For example, it can postpone the analysis of older data. Furthermore, it can dynamically adjust the analysis priority according to the data collection timing. This allows for efficient analysis by determining the analysis priority according to the data collection timing.
[0094] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the data. For example, it can prioritize the analysis of highly relevant data. It can also evaluate the relevance of the data and dynamically adjust the order of analysis according to that relevance. For example, it can postpone the analysis of less relevant data. Furthermore, it can dynamically adjust the order of analysis according to the relevance of the data. This allows for efficient analysis by adjusting the order of analysis according to the relevance of the data.
[0095] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0096] Step 1: The data collection unit monitors user behavior patterns and digital activity data. For example, the data collection unit monitors users' smartphone usage and social media activity in real time, collecting data such as app usage time, call history, location information, social media posts, comments, and the number of likes. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit to understand the user's stress and emotional state. For example, the analysis unit uses text analysis technology to analyze the content of social media posts and perform sentiment analysis. It also analyzes the frequency of smartphone use to identify the user's stress level. Step 3: Based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit, the service provider will provide individualized measures and support tailored to the user. For example, the service provider will use voice control to guide users through relaxation methods and stress reduction advice. In addition, in cooperation with industrial physicians, specialized support will be provided if the user's stress level is high.

In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0098] Data generation model 58 is a form of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence).

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.

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.
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.).
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, and data provision unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit monitors the user's behavior patterns and digital activity data using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the collected data to understand the user's stress and emotional state. The data provision unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and uses voice control to guide the user with advice on relaxation methods and stress reduction. The data provision unit also provides professional support in cooperation with an industrial physician. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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."
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
