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 bonsai evaluation support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports the evaluation and cultivation of bonsai using a generating AI. In this bonsai evaluation support system, an image of a bonsai is input to the generating AI, which then analyzes the image. The generating AI analyzes characteristic points such as the shape, balance, and health of the bonsai and calculates evaluation points. Next, the generating AI presents a market price by comparing the analysis results with current market data. Furthermore, based on the current evaluation points, the generating AI specifically points out which aspects should be improved to increase the value. For example, it provides advice on pruning, fertilization, and shape adjustment. The generating AI also creates a cultivation calendar according to the local climate and season and suggests the timing of specific tasks such as pruning and fertilization. This mechanism makes the evaluation of bonsai clearer and allows for a proper understanding of its value. Furthermore, individualized cultivation plans enable the cultivation of healthy bonsai, and specific measures to improve the value of bonsai can be easily implemented. For example, a user inputs an image of a bonsai into the generating AI. In this case, an image taken so that the overall appearance of the bonsai is visible is used. The generating AI analyzes the input image and analyzes characteristic points such as the shape, balance, and health of the bonsai. For example, the AI ​​calculates evaluation points based on the arrangement of bonsai branches, leaf color, and trunk thickness. Next, the generating AI presents a market price by comparing the analysis results with current market data. The market data is based on past transaction history and current market trends, and the generating AI analyzes this data to calculate an appropriate market price. This allows users to understand the fair price of their bonsai. Furthermore, based on the current evaluation points, the generating AI specifically points out what aspects can be improved to increase the value. For example, it advises on how to prune the bonsai branches, the timing of fertilization, and how to adjust the shape. This allows users to implement specific measures to improve the value of their bonsai. The generating AI also creates a cultivation calendar that is appropriate for the local climate and season. For example, it suggests the timing of specific tasks, such as pruning in spring and fertilizing in summer. This allows users to support the healthy growth of their bonsai. This system makes the evaluation of bonsai clearer and allows for a proper understanding of their value.Furthermore, personalized cultivation plans enable the growth of healthy bonsai trees, and concrete measures to enhance the value of bonsai can be easily implemented. For example, a higher evaluation score for a bonsai increases its market value, allowing users to cultivate high-quality bonsai. As a result, the bonsai evaluation support system clarifies the evaluation of bonsai and allows for a proper understanding of their value.

[0029] The bonsai evaluation support system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a price presentation unit, an advice unit, and a calendar creation unit. The reception unit receives images of bonsai. The reception unit can, for example, receive images of bonsai taken by a user. The reception unit can, for example, receive images taken with a smartphone or digital camera. The reception unit can, for example, automatically adjust the image resolution and shooting angle before receiving the image. The analysis unit analyzes the images received by the reception unit and evaluates the shape, balance, and health of the bonsai. The analysis unit calculates evaluation points, for example, the arrangement of the bonsai branches, the color of the leaves, and the thickness of the trunk. The analysis unit extracts characteristic points of the bonsai using image analysis technology and calculates evaluation points. The analysis unit can, for example, evaluate the shape and balance of the bonsai using generative AI. The price presentation unit presents market prices based on the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit. The price presentation unit calculates market prices based on, for example, past transaction history and current market trends. The price presentation unit can, for example, calculate market prices using generative AI. The price-setting unit can, for example, collect market data in real time and suggest an appropriate market price. The advice unit provides advice based on the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit. The advice unit can, for example, advise on how to prune bonsai branches, the timing of fertilization, and how to adjust the shape. The advice unit can, for example, provide specific advice using generative AI. The advice unit can, for example, provide customized advice according to the user's cultivation status. The calendar creation unit creates a cultivation calendar based on the advice provided by the advice unit. The calendar creation unit can, for example, create a cultivation calendar according to the local climate and season. The calendar creation unit can, for example, create a cultivation calendar using generative AI. The calendar creation unit can, for example, suggest the timing of specific tasks such as pruning and fertilization. As a result, the bonsai evaluation support system according to the embodiment can consistently perform bonsai evaluation, price-setting, advice, and cultivation calendar creation.Some or all of the above-described processes in the reception unit, analysis unit, price quote unit, advice unit, and calendar creation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or they may not be performed using a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can input an image of a bonsai taken by the user into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform image reception. The analysis unit can input the image received by the reception unit into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform an evaluation of the bonsai's shape, balance, and health. The price quote unit can input the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform a market price calculation. The advice unit can input the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform the provision of advice. The calendar creation unit can input the advice provided by the advice unit into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform the creation of a cultivation calendar.

[0030] The reception unit accepts images of bonsai trees. For example, the reception unit can accept images of bonsai trees taken by users. For example, the reception unit can accept images taken with smartphones or digital cameras. For example, the reception unit can automatically adjust the resolution and shooting angle of the images before accepting them. Specifically, when a user uploads an image of a bonsai tree taken with a smartphone or digital camera, the reception unit checks the resolution of the image and automatically adjusts the resolution as needed. In addition, if the shooting angle is not appropriate, it can display a message to the user prompting them to retake the photo. Furthermore, the reception unit can automatically recognize the background of the image and crop out only the bonsai tree. This prepares the analysis unit to accurately evaluate the shape and balance of the bonsai tree. The reception unit can also accept multiple images from users and integrate images taken from different angles to provide data for a more detailed evaluation. For example, it can accept images of the front, side, and back of a bonsai tree and integrate them to generate a 3D model. This allows the analysis unit to grasp the overall appearance of the bonsai tree and perform a more accurate evaluation. The reception desk provides an intuitive user interface to simplify the image upload process for users. For example, it includes features such as drag-and-drop image uploading and the ability to upload images directly taken using a smartphone camera app. This allows users to easily upload images and begin using the system.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes images received by the reception unit and evaluates the shape, balance, and health of the bonsai. For example, the analysis unit calculates evaluation points such as the arrangement of the bonsai branches, the color of the leaves, and the thickness of the trunk. For example, the analysis unit extracts feature points of the bonsai using image analysis technology and calculates evaluation points. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the shape and balance of the bonsai using generative AI. Specifically, in order to evaluate the arrangement of the bonsai branches, the color of the leaves, and the thickness of the trunk using image analysis technology, feature points are first extracted from the image. Feature points include branching points of the bonsai branches, points of change in leaf color, and points of change in trunk thickness, and the shape and balance of the bonsai are evaluated based on these. The generative AI builds a model for evaluating the shape and balance of the bonsai based on these feature points. For example, the AI ​​learns from past bonsai image data and their evaluation results, and performs a similar evaluation on newly received images. The AI ​​evaluates whether the arrangement of the bonsai branches is natural, whether the leaf color is healthy, and whether the trunk thickness is appropriate, and calculates an overall evaluation score. Furthermore, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis of leaf color and shape, trunk surface condition, and other factors to assess the bonsai's health. For example, if the leaves are yellowing, it may indicate nutrient deficiency or pest / disease infestation, and the AI ​​uses this information to assess the bonsai's health. Similarly, if cracks or discoloration are observed on the trunk surface, it may indicate dryness or pest / disease infestation, and the AI ​​uses this information to assess the bonsai's health. In this way, the analysis unit can comprehensively evaluate the bonsai's shape, balance, and health, and provide the user with detailed evaluation results.

[0032] The price quotation unit presents market prices based on evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit. The price quotation unit calculates market prices based on, for example, past transaction history and current market trends. The price quotation unit can calculate market prices using, for example, generative AI. The price quotation unit can, for example, collect market data in real time and present appropriate market prices. Specifically, the price quotation unit stores past transaction history in a database and collects current market trends in real time. This allows it to integrate past transaction history and current market trends to calculate appropriate market prices. The generative AI builds a model for predicting market prices based on this data. For example, the AI ​​learns from past transaction data and understands the relationship between bonsai evaluation points and market prices. This allows it to present appropriate market prices for newly evaluated bonsai. Furthermore, the price quotation unit obtains data from online bonsai trading platforms and auction sites to collect market data in real time. This allows it to accurately grasp current market trends and present appropriate market prices. For example, if a particular type of bonsai is trading at a high price in the market, the price quotation unit can adjust the market price based on that information. This allows the pricing unit to always display appropriate market prices based on the latest market information.

[0033] The advice unit provides advice based on the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the advice unit advises on how to prune bonsai branches, the timing of fertilization, and how to adjust the shape. The advice unit can provide specific advice using, for example, generative AI. The advice unit can provide customized advice tailored to the user's cultivation status. Specifically, the advice unit provides detailed advice on how to prune bonsai branches, the timing of fertilization, and how to adjust the shape, based on the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit. The generative AI learns from past cultivation data and expert knowledge to provide specific advice to the user. For example, the AI ​​advises which branches to prune, when to fertilize, and how to adjust the shape, based on the arrangement of bonsai branches, leaf color, and trunk thickness. Furthermore, the advice unit provides customized advice tailored to the user's cultivation status. For example, if the user is a beginner, it will explain basic cultivation methods and points to note in detail, while experienced users will be given more advanced cultivation techniques and expert advice. This allows the advice unit to provide appropriate advice tailored to the user's bonsai cultivation progress, supporting the growth of the bonsai.

[0034] The calendar creation unit creates a cultivation calendar based on the advice provided by the advice unit. For example, the calendar creation unit creates a cultivation calendar tailored to the local climate and season. The calendar creation unit can also create a cultivation calendar using, for example, generative AI. The calendar creation unit can suggest the timing of specific tasks such as pruning and fertilizing. Specifically, the calendar creation unit creates a cultivation calendar tailored to the local climate and season based on the advice provided by the advice unit. The generative AI learns past weather data and local climate characteristics to suggest an optimal cultivation schedule. For example, the AI ​​calculates the optimal timing for pruning and fertilizing based on local temperature, precipitation, and sunshine hours. This allows users to understand an appropriate cultivation schedule tailored to the local climate and season. Furthermore, the calendar creation unit provides a customized cultivation calendar tailored to the user's cultivation status and bonsai type. For example, if a particular type of bonsai requires special cultivation methods, the calendar is created based on that information. It can also suggest the next task to be performed, taking into account the user's past cultivation history. In this way, the calendar creation unit can provide users with a concrete and practical cultivation schedule, supporting their bonsai cultivation.

[0035] The reception unit can accept images taken in a way that shows the overall appearance of the bonsai. The reception unit can, for example, accept images taken in a way that shows the overall appearance of the bonsai. The reception unit can, for example, automatically adjust the shooting angle and resolution before accepting the images. The reception unit can, for example, process the background and accept images in a way that clearly shows the overall appearance of the bonsai. This makes accurate evaluation possible by accepting images that show the overall appearance of the bonsai. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can input an image taken in a way that shows the overall appearance of the bonsai into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the image acceptance.

[0036] The analysis unit can calculate evaluation points for the arrangement of bonsai branches, the color of the leaves, the thickness of the trunk, and so on. For example, the analysis unit can calculate the arrangement of the bonsai branches as an evaluation point. For example, the analysis unit can calculate the color of the bonsai leaves as an evaluation point. For example, the analysis unit can calculate the thickness of the bonsai trunk as an evaluation point. This allows for accurate evaluation by calculating the detailed characteristics of the bonsai as evaluation points. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input data such as the arrangement of bonsai branches, the color of the leaves, and the thickness of the trunk into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the calculation of evaluation points.

[0037] The price quotation unit can calculate market prices based on past transaction history and current market trends. For example, the price quotation unit calculates market prices based on past transaction history. For example, the price quotation unit calculates market prices based on current market trends. For example, the price quotation unit calculates market prices by combining past transaction history and current market trends. This makes it possible to quote appropriate prices by calculating market prices based on past transaction history and current market trends. Some or all of the above processing in the price quotation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the price quotation unit can input data on past transaction history and current market trends into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the calculation of market prices.

[0038] The advice unit can provide advice on bonsai branch pruning methods, fertilization timing, and shape adjustment methods. For example, the advice unit can advise on bonsai branch pruning methods. For example, the advice unit can advise on fertilization timing. For example, the advice unit can advise on shape adjustment methods. By providing specific advice, it becomes possible to improve the value of the bonsai. Some or all of the above processing in the advice unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the advice unit can input data on bonsai branch pruning methods, fertilization timing, and shape adjustment methods into a generation AI, and have the generation AI provide the advice.

[0039] The calendar creation unit can suggest the timing of specific tasks, such as pruning in spring and fertilizing in summer. For example, the calendar creation unit can suggest the timing of pruning in spring. For example, the calendar creation unit can suggest the timing of fertilizing in summer. For example, the calendar creation unit can suggest the timing of pest and disease control in autumn. By suggesting the timing of specific tasks, it becomes possible to cultivate healthy bonsai. Some or all of the above processing in the calendar creation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the calendar creation unit can input the timing of spring pruning, summer fertilization, and autumn pest and disease control into a generation AI, and have the generation AI create a cultivation calendar.

[0040] The reception unit can analyze the user's past image submission history when receiving an image and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception unit can analyze the frequency of images previously submitted by the user and suggest the optimal reception timing. For example, the reception unit can analyze the quality of images previously submitted by the user and suggest the optimal reception method. For example, the reception unit can analyze the content of images previously submitted by the user and suggest the optimal reception method. In this way, the optimal reception method can be selected by analyzing the past image submission history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's past image submission history into a generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal reception method.

[0041] The reception unit can filter images upon receipt based on the user's current projects and areas of interest. For example, the reception unit may prioritize images related to the user's current projects. For example, the reception unit may prioritize images related to the user's areas of interest. For example, the reception unit may prioritize images related to areas the user has shown interest in in the past. This allows the reception unit to prioritize the receipt of highly relevant images by filtering based on the user's current projects and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generative AI, or not. For example, the reception unit can input data on the user's current projects and areas of interest into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the filtering.

[0042] The reception unit can prioritize receiving images that are highly relevant, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, the reception unit can prioritize receiving images related to the user's current location. For example, the reception unit can prioritize receiving images related to places the user has visited in the past. For example, the reception unit can prioritize receiving images related to places the user plans to visit in the future. In this way, by considering geographical location information, highly relevant images can be prioritized. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generation AI and have the generation AI select highly relevant images.

[0043] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity when receiving images and accept relevant images. For example, the reception unit may prioritize images related to images the user has shared on social media. For example, the reception unit may prioritize images related to images the user has shown interest in on social media. For example, the reception unit may prioritize images related to accounts the user follows on social media. In this way, by analyzing social media activity, it is possible to prioritize the acceptance of relevant images. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the reception unit may input data on the user's social media activity into a generative AI and have the generative AI select relevant images.

[0044] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the bonsai during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis for bonsai of high importance. For example, the analysis unit performs a simplified analysis for bonsai of low importance. For example, the analysis unit performs an analysis with an appropriate level of detail for bonsai of medium importance. In this way, by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the bonsai, appropriate analysis results can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input bonsai importance data into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the analysis.

[0045] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the bonsai category during analysis. For example, the analysis unit selects the optimal analysis algorithm depending on the type of bonsai. For example, the analysis unit applies an appropriate analysis algorithm depending on the growth stage of the bonsai. For example, the analysis unit uses different analysis algorithms depending on the health status of the bonsai. By applying different analysis algorithms depending on the bonsai category, the optimal analysis results can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input bonsai category data into a generation AI and have the generation AI execute the application of the analysis algorithm.

[0046] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on when the bonsai were photographed.

For example, the analysis unit extracts feature points of the bonsai using image analysis technology and calculates evaluation points. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the shape and balance of the bonsai using generative AI. Specifically, in order to evaluate the arrangement of the bonsai branches, the color of the leaves, and the thickness of the trunk using image analysis technology, feature points are first extracted from the image. Feature points include branching points of the bonsai branches, points of change in leaf color, and points of change in trunk thickness, and the shape and balance of the bonsai are evaluated based on these. The generative AI builds a model for evaluating the shape and balance of the bonsai based on these feature points. For example, the AI ​​learns from past bonsai image data and their evaluation results, and performs a similar evaluation on newly received images. The AI ​​evaluates whether the arrangement of the bonsai branches is natural, whether the leaf color is healthy, and whether the trunk thickness is appropriate, and calculates an overall evaluation score. Furthermore, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis of leaf color and shape, trunk surface condition, and other factors to assess the bonsai's health. For example, if the leaves are yellowing, it may indicate nutrient deficiency or pest / disease infestation, and the AI ​​uses this information to assess the bonsai's health. Similarly, if cracks or discoloration are observed on the trunk surface, it may indicate dryness or pest / disease infestation, and the AI ​​uses this information to assess the bonsai's health.

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.

[0131] 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 (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) 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).

[0132] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54.

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.

[0138] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing.

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.

[0158] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0159] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, price presentation unit, advice unit, and calendar creation unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives images of bonsai trees taken by the user. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the received images to evaluate the shape, balance, and health of the bonsai trees. The price presentation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and presents market prices 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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."

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
