[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.

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 alcohol management support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that works in conjunction with a smartwatch to collect personal biometric data in real time and analyze it using a generative AI to provide personalized health management and safe driving support. The alcohol management support system uses a smartwatch to acquire biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, and activity level in real time. This allows for the creation and analysis of an alcohol metabolism profile based on the individual's weight and constitution. Next, the collected data is analyzed using a generative AI. The generative AI provides the user with warnings in an interactive format according to the amount of alcohol consumed and their physical condition, and predicts and notifies them of the time it will take for the alcohol to leave their system based on their perceived time. This interactive approach allows the user to understand their drinking status in real time and use it to help with health management and safe driving. For example, when a user starts drinking, the smartwatch detects changes in heart rate and body temperature, and the generative AI analyzes this data to estimate the amount of alcohol consumed. The generative AI notifies the user, "Your current alcohol consumption is XX ml. It will take approximately XX hours for the alcohol to be completely metabolized." Furthermore, if the amount of alcohol consumed exceeds a certain standard, the generative AI provides a warning such as, "Your alcohol consumption is high. Please be careful about your health." Furthermore, the generating AI also provides a function to share drinking data so that partners can understand the user's drinking habits. This allows partners to support the user's health management. In this way, by utilizing smartwatches and generating AI, it is possible to support drinking management and promote a healthy lifestyle. As a result, the drinking management support system can understand the user's drinking habits in real time and use this information for health management and safe driving.

[0029] The alcohol management support system according to the embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, and a notification unit. The data collection unit collects biometric data from a smartwatch. The data collection unit acquires biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, and activity level in real time. The data collection unit measures heart rate using a heart rate sensor, for example. The data collection unit measures body temperature using a body temperature sensor, for example. The data collection unit measures activity level using an acceleration sensor, for example. The analysis unit analyzes the biometric data collected by the data collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes biometric data using a generative AI, for example. The analysis unit evaluates the user's physical condition by analyzing heart rate data, for example. The analysis unit evaluates the user's health status by analyzing body temperature data, for example. The analysis unit evaluates the user's exercise level by analyzing activity level data, for example. The notification unit notifies the user based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The notification unit sends a notification to a smartphone, for example. The notification unit issues an audio alert, for example. The notification unit issues a vibration alert, for example. This allows the alcohol management support system to collect, analyze, and notify users of their biometric data, enabling health management and safe driving support.

[0030] The data collection unit collects biometric data from the smartwatch. The unit acquires biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, and activity level in real time. Specifically, it measures heart rate using a heart rate sensor, body temperature using a body temperature sensor, and activity level using an accelerometer. The heart rate sensor uses photoplethysmography (PPG) to detect blood flow and measure heart rate. The body temperature sensor uses an infrared sensor or thermistor to measure skin surface temperature. The accelerometer is used to detect the user's movements in three dimensions and evaluate activity level. These sensors are built into the smartwatch and, when worn on the user's wrist, can continuously collect data during daily life. The collected data is transmitted to a smartphone or cloud server via Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi for real-time monitoring. Furthermore, the data collection unit can use algorithms to integrate data from multiple sensors and remove noise to improve data accuracy. This allows the data collection unit to collect the user's biometric data with high accuracy and provide it to the analysis unit.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the biometric data collected by the collection unit. For example, the analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the biometric data. The generative AI utilizes deep learning technology to learn from large amounts of biometric data and accurately assess the user's health status and physical condition. Specifically, it analyzes heart rate data to assess the user's stress level and cardiac health, analyzes body temperature data to detect signs of fever or poor health, and analyzes activity level data to assess the user's exercise habits and energy expenditure. The generative AI integrates this data to build a model for evaluating the user's overall health status. For example, by combining heart rate variability patterns, changes in body temperature, and increases or decreases in activity levels, it can assess how the user is affected by alcohol consumption. Furthermore, the analysis unit can detect abnormal patterns and high-risk situations early by comparing them with past data and data from other users. This allows the analysis unit to monitor the user's health status in real time and respond quickly when necessary.

[0032] The notification unit notifies the user based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the notification unit sends notifications to a smartphone. Through the smartphone application, it provides the user with information about their health status and physical condition and prompts them to take necessary actions. For example, if the heart rate is abnormally high or the body temperature is elevated, it will notify the user to take a rest. Also, if alcohol consumption is increasing health risks, it will warn the user to refrain from drinking. The notification unit can also issue voice alerts so that the user is immediately aware of them. Furthermore, by issuing vibration alerts, the smartwatch itself can draw the user's attention. This allows the user to receive important information about their health status in real time and take appropriate action. The notification unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the notification content. For example, it can record how the user reacted to the notification and optimize the timing and content of the notification. In addition, the notification unit can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. This allows the notification unit to provide users with quick and reliable instructions, realizing health management and safe driving support.

[0033] The notification unit can alert the user in an interactive format according to their alcohol consumption and physical condition. For example, if the user is drinking too much, the notification unit might notify them with "You are drinking too much. Please take care of your health." For example, if the user is feeling unwell, the notification unit might notify them with "You seem to be feeling unwell. Please rest." The notification unit provides appropriate warnings based on the amount of alcohol consumed and the user's physical condition. This improves the user's health management through warnings tailored to their alcohol consumption and physical condition. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using a generating AI, or it may be performed without a generating AI. For example, the notification unit inputs alcohol consumption and physical condition data into a generating AI, and the generating AI provides warnings in an interactive format.

[0034] The notification unit can predict and notify the time it will take for alcohol to leave the system based on perceived time. For example, the notification unit may notify, based on the elapsed time since the start of drinking, that "It will take approximately ○ hours for alcohol to be completely metabolized." For example, the notification unit may notify, based on the user's perceived time, that "It will take approximately ○ hours for alcohol to leave the system." For example, the notification unit may predict and notify the time it will take for alcohol to leave the system based on the amount of alcohol consumed and perceived time. This enables safe driving support by predicting and notifying the time it will take for alcohol to leave the system. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the notification unit inputs perceived time data into a generation AI, and the generation AI predicts and notifies the time it will take for alcohol to leave the system.

[0035] The data collection unit can acquire biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, and activity level in real time. For example, the data collection unit can acquire heart rate in real time using a heart rate sensor. For example, the data collection unit can acquire body temperature in real time using a body temperature sensor. For example, the data collection unit can acquire activity level in real time using an accelerometer. This enables accurate health management by acquiring biometric data in real time. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit inputs heart rate data into the AI, and the AI ​​analyzes the data in real time.

[0036] The analysis unit can create and analyze alcohol metabolism profiles based on individual weight and constitution. For example, the analysis unit can create an alcohol metabolism profile based on the user's weight data. For example, the analysis unit can create an alcohol metabolism profile based on the user's constitution data. For example, the analysis unit can create an alcohol metabolism profile by combining weight and constitution data. This enables personalized health management through analysis based on individual weight and constitution. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using or without a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs weight and constitution data into a generating AI, and the generating AI creates and analyzes an alcohol metabolism profile.

[0037] The notification unit can provide a function to share drinking data with a partner. For example, the notification unit can send the user's drinking data to the partner's smartphone. For example, the notification unit can store the drinking data in the cloud and make it accessible to the partner. For example, the notification unit can send the drinking data to the partner via email. This allows the partner to support the user's health management by sharing the drinking data. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the notification unit inputs the drinking data into a generative AI, and the generative AI shares the data with the partner.

[0038] The data collection unit can analyze the user's past biometric data history and select the optimal acquisition method. For example, the data collection unit can analyze the user's past heart rate data and acquire biometric data during the most stable time period. For example, the data collection unit can analyze the user's past body temperature data and acquire biometric data during the time period when the body temperature is stable. For example, the data collection unit can analyze the user's past activity level data and acquire biometric data during the time period when activity is low. By selecting the optimal acquisition method based on past data history, the accuracy of the data is improved. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit inputs past biometric data history into a generating AI, and the generating AI selects the optimal acquisition method.

[0039] The data collection unit can filter biometric data based on the user's current activity status and environment when acquiring it. For example, if the user is exercising, the data collection unit will acquire biometric data after the exercise. For example, if the user is resting, the data collection unit will acquire biometric data during the rest period. For example, if the user is out, the data collection unit will acquire biometric data after they return home. This improves the accuracy of the data through filtering based on activity status and environment. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit inputs current activity status and environment data into a generating AI, and the generating AI performs the filtering.

[0040] The data collection unit can prioritize the acquisition of highly relevant data by considering the user's geographical location when acquiring biometric data. For example, if the user is at high altitude, the data collection unit will prioritize the acquisition of oxygen saturation data. For example, if the user is in a cold region, the data collection unit will prioritize the acquisition of body temperature data. For example, if the user is in an urban area, the data collection unit will prioritize the acquisition of heart rate data. This allows for the priority acquisition of highly relevant data by considering geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit can input geographical location data into a generating AI, and the generating AI will prioritize the acquisition of highly relevant data.

[0041] The data collection unit can analyze the user's social media activity when acquiring biometric data and obtain relevant data. For example, if the user is stressed on social media, the data collection unit can acquire heart rate data. For example, if the user is relaxed on social media, the data collection unit can acquire body temperature data. For example, if the user is active on social media, the data collection unit can acquire activity level data. This allows for the efficient acquisition of relevant data by considering social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit inputs social media activity data into a generating AI, and the generating AI acquires relevant data.

[0042] The analysis unit can optimize the analysis algorithm based on individual weight and constitution during analysis. For example, the analysis unit adjusts the alcohol metabolism rate based on the user's weight. For example, the analysis unit creates an alcohol metabolism profile based on the user's constitution. For example, the analysis unit selects the optimal analysis algorithm considering the user's weight and constitution. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by optimizing the analysis algorithm based on weight and constitution. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using a generative AI, or they may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs weight and constitution data into a generative AI, and the generative AI optimizes the analysis algorithm.

[0043] The analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to past analysis results during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit corrects the current analysis result based on the user's past analysis results. For example, the analysis unit optimizes the analysis algorithm by referring to the user's past analysis results. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's past analysis results to improve the accuracy of the analysis. In this way, the accuracy of the analysis is improved by referring to past analysis results. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using a generating AI, or they may be performed without a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs past analysis result data into a generating AI, and the generating AI improves the accuracy of the analysis.

[0044] The analysis unit can perform analysis while considering the user's lifestyle and dietary history. For example, the analysis unit adjusts the alcohol metabolism rate based on the user's dietary history. For example, the analysis unit optimizes the analysis algorithm by considering the user's lifestyle. For example, the analysis unit provides the optimal analysis result by considering the user's dietary history and lifestyle.

For example, the analysis unit inputs lifestyle and dietary history data into a generation AI, and the generation AI performs the analysis.

[0045] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the user's health status during the analysis. For example, if the user is healthy, the analysis unit provides detailed analysis results. For example, if the user is unwell, the analysis unit provides concise analysis results. The analysis unit adjusts the level of detail of the analysis according to the user's health status. This ensures that appropriate analysis results are provided by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis according to the health status. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using a generating AI, or they may be performed without a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs health status data into a generating AI, and the generating AI adjusts the level of detail of the analysis.

[0046] The notification unit can customize the content of notifications according to the amount of alcohol consumed and the user's physical condition. For example, if the amount of alcohol consumed is high, the notification unit will issue a health warning. For example, if the user is feeling unwell, the notification unit will issue a notification encouraging rest. For example, the notification unit will provide the most appropriate notification content according to the amount of alcohol consumed and the user's physical condition. This allows the user to receive appropriate information by customizing the notification content according to the amount of alcohol consumed and the user's physical condition. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI.

Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the notification unit inputs past drinking history data into a generation AI, and the generation AI selects the optimal notification timing.

[0048] The notification unit can select the optimal notification method when sending a notification, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is at home, the notification unit may send an audio notification. If the user is out, for example, the notification unit may send a vibration notification. If the user is driving, for example, the notification unit may send a visual notification. This allows the notification unit to notify the user in an appropriate manner by selecting a notification method that takes geographical location information into account. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the notification unit inputs geographical location data into a generation AI, and the generation AI selects the optimal notification method.

[0049] The notification unit can analyze the user's social media activity and adjust the notification content when sending a notification. For example, if the user is feeling stressed on social media, the notification unit will send a notification encouraging relaxation. For example, if the user is relaxing on social media, the notification unit will send a general notification. For example, if the user is active on social media, the notification unit will send a notification about their activity. This allows the notification unit to provide the user with appropriate information by adjusting the notification content to take social media activity into account. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the notification unit inputs social media activity data into a generative AI, and the generative AI adjusts the notification content.

[0050] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0056] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0057] Step 1: The data collection unit collects biometric data from the smartwatch. The data collection unit acquires biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, and activity level in real time. The data collection unit measures heart rate using a heart rate sensor, body temperature using a body temperature sensor, and activity level using an accelerometer. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the biometric data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the biometric data, analyzes heart rate data to assess the user's physical condition, analyzes body temperature data to assess the user's health status, and analyzes activity level data to assess the user's exercise level. Step 3: The notification unit notifies the user based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The notification unit sends a notification to the smartphone and issues an audio alert or vibration alert.

[0058] (Example of form 2) The alcohol management support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that works in conjunction with a smartwatch to collect personal biometric data in real time and analyze it using a generative AI to provide personalized health management and safe driving support. The alcohol management support system uses a smartwatch to acquire biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, and activity level in real time. This allows for the creation and analysis of an alcohol metabolism profile based on the individual's weight and constitution. Next, the collected data is analyzed using a generative AI. The generative AI provides the user with warnings in an interactive format according to the amount of alcohol consumed and their physical condition, and predicts and notifies them of the time it will take for the alcohol to leave their system based on their perceived time. This interactive approach allows the user to understand their drinking status in real time and use it to help with health management and safe driving. For example, when a user starts drinking, the smartwatch detects changes in heart rate and body temperature, and the generative AI analyzes this data to estimate the amount of alcohol consumed. The generative AI notifies the user, "Your current alcohol consumption is XX ml. It will take approximately XX hours for the alcohol to be completely metabolized." Furthermore, if the amount of alcohol consumed exceeds a certain standard, the generative AI provides a warning such as, "Your alcohol consumption is high. Please be careful about your health." Furthermore, the generating AI also provides a function to share drinking data so that partners can understand the user's drinking habits. This allows partners to support the user's health management. In this way, by utilizing smartwatches and generating AI, it is possible to support drinking management and promote a healthy lifestyle. As a result, the drinking management support system can understand the user's drinking habits in real time and use this information for health management and safe driving.

[0059] The alcohol management support system according to the embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, and a notification unit. The data collection unit collects biometric data from a smartwatch. The data collection unit acquires biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, and activity level in real time. The data collection unit measures heart rate using a heart rate sensor, for example. The data collection unit measures body temperature using a body temperature sensor, for example.

This allows the alcohol management support system to collect, analyze, and notify users of their biometric data, enabling health management and safe driving support.

[0060] The data collection unit collects biometric data from the smartwatch. The unit acquires biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, and activity level in real time. Specifically, it measures heart rate using a heart rate sensor, body temperature using a body temperature sensor, and activity level using an accelerometer. The heart rate sensor uses photoplethysmography (PPG) to detect blood flow and measure heart rate. The body temperature sensor uses an infrared sensor or thermistor to measure skin surface temperature. The accelerometer is used to detect the user's movement in three dimensions and evaluate activity level. These sensors are built into the smartwatch and, when worn on the user's wrist, can continuously collect data during daily life. The collected data is transmitted to a smartphone or cloud server via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and monitored in real time. Furthermore, to improve data accuracy, the data collection unit can integrate data from multiple sensors and use algorithms to remove noise. This allows the data collection unit to collect the user's biometric data with high accuracy and provide it to the analysis unit.

[0061] The analysis unit analyzes the biometric data collected by the collection unit. For example, the analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the biometric data. The generative AI utilizes deep learning technology to learn from large amounts of biometric data and accurately assess the user's health status and physical condition. Specifically, it analyzes heart rate data to assess the user's stress level and cardiac health, analyzes body temperature data to detect signs of fever or poor health, and analyzes activity level data to assess the user's exercise habits and energy expenditure. The generative AI integrates this data to build a model for evaluating the user's overall health status. For example, by combining heart rate variability patterns, changes in body temperature, and increases or decreases in activity levels, it can assess how the user is affected by alcohol consumption. Furthermore, the analysis unit can detect abnormal patterns and high-risk situations early by comparing them with past data and data from other users. This allows the analysis unit to monitor the user's health status in real time and respond quickly when necessary.

[0062] The notification unit notifies the user based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the notification unit sends notifications to a smartphone. Through the smartphone application, it provides the user with information about their health status and physical condition and prompts them to take necessary actions. For example, if the heart rate is abnormally high or the body temperature is elevated, it will notify the user to take a rest. Also, if alcohol consumption is increasing health risks, it will warn the user to refrain from drinking. The notification unit can also issue voice alerts so that the user is immediately aware of them. Furthermore, by issuing vibration alerts, the smartwatch itself can draw the user's attention. This allows the user to receive important information about their health status in real time and take appropriate action. The notification unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the notification content. For example, it can record how the user reacted to the notification and optimize the timing and content of the notification.

For example, if the user is feeling unwell, the notification unit might notify them with "You seem to be feeling unwell. Please rest." The notification unit provides appropriate warnings based on the amount of alcohol consumed and the user's physical condition. This improves the user's health management through warnings tailored to their alcohol consumption and physical condition. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using a generating AI, or it may be performed without a generating AI. For example, the notification unit inputs alcohol consumption and physical condition data into a generating AI, and the generating AI provides warnings in an interactive format.

[0064] The notification unit can predict and notify the time it will take for alcohol to leave the system based on perceived time. For example, the notification unit may notify, based on the elapsed time since the start of drinking, that "It will take approximately ○ hours for alcohol to be completely metabolized." For example, the notification unit may notify, based on the user's perceived time, that "It will take approximately ○ hours for alcohol to leave the system." For example, the notification unit may predict and notify the time it will take for alcohol to leave the system based on the amount of alcohol consumed and perceived time. This enables safe driving support by predicting and notifying the time it will take for alcohol to leave the system.

For example, the notification unit inputs the drinking data into a generative AI, and the generative AI shares the data with the partner.

[0068] The data collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of biometric data acquisition based on the estimated emotions.

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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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."

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

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.
