Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) An interactive navigation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that generates navigation, lyrics, and music using a generative AI. When a user inputs a destination, the system generates a song and provides navigation based on information such as route, scenery, congestion, obstacles, dangers, local culture, and popular songs. The generated song changes lyrics according to the user's current location, providing information interactively. Furthermore, because it aggregates information from map vendors, local businesses, and municipalities, and is generated based on the style provided by entertainment vendors, it also has a high level of entertainment value. This allows even people who are not good at reading maps or have poor spatial awareness to reach their destination while listening to music. Moreover, if the user proceeds in the wrong direction, the generative AI will provide a fill-in notification, allowing the user to receive navigation with peace of mind. For example, when a user inputs a destination, the system acquires information from map vendors and aggregates route and scenery information. Next, the generative AI generates a song based on this information and provides it to the user. If the user proceeds in the wrong direction, the system notifies them and guides them in the correct direction. This allows the user to reach their destination with peace of mind. This enables interactive navigation by generating and providing directions or songs based on user input.
[0029] The interactive navigation system according to the embodiment comprises a reception unit, an acquisition unit, a generation unit, a provision unit, and a notification unit. The reception unit receives input from the user. User input includes, but is not limited to, voice input, text input, and touch input. The reception unit may, for example, receive voice input from the user using voice recognition technology. The reception unit may also receive touch input from the user using a touchscreen. Furthermore, the reception unit may also be equipped with a keyboard for receiving text input. The acquisition unit acquires route and scenery information based on the information received by the reception unit. Route and scenery information includes, but is not limited to, map data, landmark information, and real-time traffic information. The acquisition unit may, for example, acquire map data from a map vendor. Furthermore, the acquisition unit may cooperate with a traffic information provision service to acquire real-time traffic information. Furthermore, the acquisition unit may also collect local commercial and municipal information to acquire landmark information. The generation unit aggregates the information acquired by the acquisition unit to generate a song. The generation unit may, for example, generate a song using a generation AI. The generation AI generates lyrics using, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). The generation unit can also generate songs based on styles provided by entertainment vendors. For example, the generation unit generates songs referencing the music genres and artist styles of entertainment vendors. The delivery unit provides the songs generated by the generation unit to the user. The delivery unit plays the songs using, for example, an audio output device. The delivery unit can also stream the songs to the user's device. Furthermore, the delivery unit may be equipped with a display for displaying lyrics. The notification unit notifies the user if they are heading in the wrong direction. The notification unit provides, for example, an audio notification. The notification unit may also provide a vibration notification. Furthermore, the notification unit may be equipped with a display for providing visual notifications. Thus, the interactive navigation system according to the embodiment enables interactive navigation by generating and providing navigation and songs based on user input.
[0030] The reception unit receives input from the user. User input includes, but is not limited to, voice input, text input, and touch input. The reception unit can, for example, receive voice input from the user using speech recognition technology. Specifically, a deep learning-based speech recognition model is used as the speech recognition technology. This model can convert user speech into text with high accuracy by learning from a large amount of voice data. The reception unit can also receive touch input from the user using a touchscreen. The touchscreen uses technologies such as capacitive or resistive touch, and detects input when the user touches the screen. Furthermore, the reception unit can be equipped with a keyboard for receiving text input. The keyboard can have physical keys or be displayed on the screen as a software keyboard. This allows the user to choose the optimal input method according to their preference and situation. The reception unit can comprehensively manage these diverse input methods and accurately grasp the user's intent. For example, it can combine voice input and text input to complete what the user has said. Also, using touch input, the user can point to a specific location, enabling more intuitive operation. This allows the reception area to respond to diverse user needs and achieve smooth interaction.
[0031] The acquisition unit obtains route and scenery information based on the information received by the reception unit. Route and scenery information includes, but is not limited to, map data, landmark information, and real-time traffic information. The acquisition unit can obtain map data from, for example, a map vendor. Specifically, it can obtain the latest map data using the map vendor's API. The acquisition unit can also cooperate with a traffic information service to obtain real-time traffic information. Traffic information services provide real-time information on road congestion and accidents, which allows the user to be guided to the optimal route. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can also collect information on local businesses and municipalities to obtain landmark information. For example, by collecting information on tourist destinations and commercial facilities and providing it to the user, it can provide information that is useful not only for route guidance but also for sightseeing and shopping. The acquisition unit can manage this information comprehensively and provide the user with the optimal route and scenery information. For example, if a user enters a specific landmark as a destination, it can provide detailed information about that landmark and information on nearby tourist spots. It can also calculate the optimal route based on real-time traffic information and guide the user. This allows the data acquisition unit to quickly and accurately provide information tailored to the user's needs, enabling comfortable navigation.
[0032] The generation unit aggregates the information acquired by the acquisition unit to generate a song. The generation unit generates songs using, for example, a generation AI. The generation AI generates lyrics using, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). Specifically, the generation AI generates relevant lyrics based on information about the destination and directions entered by the user. For example, if the user enters "I want to go to the park," the generation AI can generate lyrics about parks. The generation unit can also generate songs based on the styles provided by entertainment vendors. For example, the generation unit generates songs referencing the music genres and artist styles of entertainment vendors. This allows users to enjoy songs that match their preferences and moods. The generation unit manages this information comprehensively and can generate songs that are optimal for the user. For example, if a user prefers the style of a particular artist, it can generate songs that reference that artist's style. Furthermore, the generation AI can learn the user's past input history and preferences to generate more personalized songs. This enables the generation unit to quickly and accurately generate songs that meet the user's needs and realize interactive navigation.
[0033] The service provider delivers songs generated by the generation unit to the user. The service provider plays the songs using, for example, an audio output device. Specifically, it can let the user listen to the generated songs through speakers or earphones. The service provider can also stream songs to the user's device. For example, it can deliver songs to smartphones or tablets via the internet, allowing users to enjoy songs anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, the service provider can be equipped with a display for displaying lyrics. The lyrics are displayed in real time on the display, allowing users to enjoy the songs while viewing the lyrics. The service provider can comprehensively manage these functions and deliver songs to the user in the most optimal way. For example, if the user is driving a car, it can play songs using an audio output device, allowing them to enjoy songs safely even while driving. Also, if the user is walking, it can stream songs to their smartphone, allowing them to listen to the songs through earphones. In this way, the service provider can deliver songs in the most optimal way according to the user's situation and preferences, realizing interactive navigation.
[0034] The notification unit alerts the user if they are heading in the wrong direction. For example, it can provide voice notifications. Specifically, if the user deviates from the designated route, it will notify the user by voice, "You have deviated from the route. Recalculating." The notification unit can also provide vibration notifications. For example, the smartphone or smartwatch can vibrate to alert the user. Furthermore, the notification unit can be equipped with a display for visual notifications. The display can show arrows or warning messages so that the user can visually confirm the information. The notification unit manages these functions in an integrated manner to provide notifications to the user in the most optimal way. For example, if the user is driving a car, voice notifications will be prioritized so that they can receive notifications safely even while driving. If the user is walking, vibration and visual notifications will be used in combination to ensure that the user does not miss the notification. In this way, the notification unit can quickly and reliably notify the user even if they are heading in the wrong direction, and help them return to the correct route.
[0035] The acquisition unit can acquire information from map vendors, local businesses, and local governments. For example, the acquisition unit can acquire map data from map vendors. For example, the acquisition unit can acquire map data using the map vendor's API. The acquisition unit can also link with databases of commercial facilities and local governments to acquire information on local businesses and local governments. For example, the acquisition unit can acquire store information from a database of commercial facilities. The acquisition unit can also acquire public service information from a local government database. As a result, the acquisition unit can provide more accurate directions by acquiring information from map vendors and local areas. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input map data acquired using the map vendor's API into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform analysis of the map data.
[0036] The generation unit can generate songs based on the styles provided by the entertainment vendor.

The notification unit notifies the user if the robot 414 is moving in the wrong direction using the speaker 240 and vibration function of the robot 414. 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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."
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.

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.
