[0028] (Example of form 1) The AI agent service according to an embodiment of the present invention is an AI agent service that allows users to quickly access what they "want to know" and "want to learn" in their busy daily lives and acquire knowledge efficiently. The AI agent service summarizes and extracts various content such as articles, audio, and video, and recommends content according to the user's knowledge level and learning goals. Furthermore, the AI agent service visualizes the user's level of understanding and progress, and automatically optimizes the path of information gathering and learning, supporting the user to reach their goals in the shortest possible time. For example, the AI agent service summarizes and extracts various content such as articles, audio, and video. In this process, the AI extracts the important points of each piece of content and summarizes them so that they can be understood in a short time. For example, it can summarize a long article into a few lines or a long video into a few minutes. This allows the user to obtain the necessary information in a short time. Next, the AI agent service recommends the most suitable content according to the user's knowledge level and learning goals. For example, it can recommend content for beginners or content specialized in a particular field. This allows the user to efficiently learn content that suits them. Furthermore, the AI agent service visualizes the user's level of understanding and progress, automatically optimizing information gathering and learning paths. For example, it can display the user's level of understanding and progress using graphs and charts. This allows users to grasp their learning status and clearly identify what they should learn next. This system enables users to acquire knowledge efficiently even in their busy daily lives. For example, business professionals can efficiently acquire knowledge useful for their work, and students and learners can absorb a lot of knowledge in a short time. Researchers and experts can also efficiently conduct research by summarizing broad and advanced information. The AI agent service is designed to solve problems such as information overload, lack of time, and difficulty in visualizing the level of acquisition. For example, regarding the problem that even just searching for information takes time and effort, the AI can summarize and provide information, significantly reducing the time spent on information gathering.Furthermore, addressing the challenge of limited time available for information gathering and learning due to busy schedules, AI can efficiently recommend necessary information and content based on learning progress and knowledge level. Additionally, addressing the difficulty of understanding how well information is being understood and how far learning is progressing, AI can support learning by visualizing progress and comprehension. AI agent services also hold significant importance in the EdTech market. For example, the global EdTech market is projected to exceed 38 trillion yen by 2025, and by providing value such as rapid information acquisition, personalized learning support, and visualization of comprehension and progress, AI agent services are expected to be used by many users. This allows users to acquire knowledge efficiently.
[0029] The AI agent service according to this embodiment comprises a summarization unit, a recommendation unit, and a visualization unit. The summarization unit summarizes and extracts various types of content, such as articles, audio, and video. For example, the summarization unit can condense a long article into a few lines. It can also condense a long video into a few minutes. Furthermore, the summarization unit can summarize audio content so that it can be understood in a short amount of time. For example, the summarization unit can extract the key points of an article and summarize it so that it can be understood in a short amount of time. For example, the summarization unit can extract key scenes from a video and summarize them so that they can be viewed in a short amount of time. For example, the summarization unit can extract key parts of audio content and summarize them so that they can be listened to in a short amount of time. The recommendation unit recommends content based on the content extracted by the summarization unit, according to the user's knowledge level and learning goals. For example, the recommendation unit can recommend content for beginners. It can also recommend content specialized in a particular field. Furthermore, the recommendation unit can recommend the most suitable content according to the user's learning goals. For example, the recommendation unit recommends beginner-friendly content based on the user's knowledge level. The recommendation unit can also recommend content specialized in a specific field. The recommendation unit can also recommend content that is optimal for the user's learning goals. The visualization unit visualizes the user's understanding and progress based on the content recommended by the recommendation unit. The visualization unit can display the user's understanding in graphs or charts. It can also display the user's progress in graphs or charts. Furthermore, the visualization unit can automatically optimize the user's learning path. For example, the visualization unit displays the user's understanding in a graph. The visualization unit can also display the user's progress in a chart. The visualization unit can also automatically optimize the user's learning path. As a result, the AI agent service according to this embodiment allows the user to acquire knowledge efficiently.
[0030] The summarization unit summarizes and extracts information from various types of content, including articles, audio, and video. For example, it can condense a long article into a few lines. It can also condense a long video into a few minutes. Furthermore, it can summarize audio content so that it can be understood in a short amount of time. Specifically, the summarization unit utilizes natural language processing technology to extract the key points of an article and summarize them for quick understanding. For example, it extracts keywords and important phrases from an article and generates a summary based on them. In the case of videos, the summarization unit uses video analysis technology to extract important scenes and summarize them for quick viewing. For example, it automatically detects scenes that particularly interest viewers or scenes with a large amount of information in a video and combines them to create a shortened version. For audio content, it uses speech recognition technology to convert audio into text and extracts important parts from that text for summarization. For example, it analyzes the audio of a lecture or interview and extracts points that the speaker wants to emphasize or important information so that it can be understood in a short amount of time. By combining these technologies, the summarization unit efficiently summarizes various types of content, enabling users to obtain important information in a short amount of time. Furthermore, the summarization function can customize the style and content of summaries according to the user's preferences and interests. For example, if a user is interested in a particular topic, it will prioritize summarizing information related to that topic. The summarization function can also continuously learn and improve to enhance the accuracy of its summaries. This allows the summarization function to provide the most suitable summary for the user and support efficient information acquisition.
[0031] The recommendation section recommends content based on the content extracted by the summarization section, tailoring it to the user's knowledge level and learning goals. For example, the recommendation section can recommend content suitable for beginners. It can also recommend content specialized in specific fields. Furthermore, it can recommend content that is optimally suited to the user's learning goals. Specifically, the recommendation section analyzes the user's past learning history and interests, and selects the most relevant content based on this analysis. For example, it recommends highly relevant content based on the user's past viewing history of articles and videos. It also suggests what the user should learn next, taking into account their learning progress and understanding. The recommendation section uses machine learning algorithms to analyze user behavior patterns and provide content optimized for each individual user. For example, if a user is interested in a particular field, it recommends the latest research findings and news articles related to that field. If a user wants to acquire a specific skill, it suggests learning materials and training videos related to that skill. Furthermore, the recommendation system collects user feedback and uses it to improve the accuracy of recommendations. For example, users can rate the recommended content, and the system adjusts the next recommendation based on that rating. This allows the recommendation system to provide optimal content tailored to the user's needs and improve learning efficiency.
[0032] The visualization unit visualizes the user's understanding and progress based on the content recommended by the recommendation unit. For example, the visualization unit can display the user's understanding in graphs and charts. It can also display the user's progress in graphs and charts. Furthermore, the visualization unit can automatically optimize the user's learning path. Specifically, the visualization unit collects the user's learning data and visually displays the level of understanding and progress based on it. For example, by recording the content and time the user has studied and displaying it in graphs and charts, it allows users to see at a glance how far they have progressed in their learning. It can also display scores based on the results of quizzes and tests to evaluate the user's understanding. Based on this data, the visualization unit analyzes the user's learning trends and weaknesses and optimizes the learning path. For example, if a user lacks understanding in a particular area, it prioritizes recommending content related to that area. It also supports efficient learning by suggesting what the user should learn next according to their learning progress. Furthermore, the visualization unit can also evaluate relative understanding and progress by comparing the user's learning data with that of other users. This allows users to objectively understand their learning progress and maintain motivation. Through these functions, the visualization unit can effectively support user learning and promote knowledge acquisition.
[0033] The summarization unit can summarize and extract information from various types of content, such as articles, audio, and video. For example, the summarization unit can condense a long article into a few lines. For example, it can condense a long video into a few minutes. For example, it can summarize audio content so that it can be understood in a short amount of time. This allows users to obtain the necessary information quickly by summarizing and extracting information from various types of content.

[0097] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0098] Step 1: The summarization section summarizes and extracts information from various types of content, such as articles, audio, and video. For example, it might condense a long article into a few lines, a long video into a few minutes, or summarize audio content so that it can be understood in a short amount of time. The summarization section extracts the key points of an article, the important scenes of a video, and the important parts of audio content, making them easy to understand, view, and listen to in a short amount of time. Step 2: The recommendation section recommends content based on the content extracted by the summarization section, tailored to the user's knowledge level and learning goals. For example, it recommends content for beginners or content specializing in specific fields, providing the optimal content to match the user's learning goals. Step 3: The visualization unit visualizes the user's understanding and progress based on the content recommended by the recommendation unit. For example, it displays the user's understanding and progress in graphs and charts, and automatically optimizes the user's learning path.

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.
[0151] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the summarization unit, recommendation unit, and visualization unit, is implemented by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the summarization unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and summarizes and extracts various content such as articles, audio, and video. The recommendation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and recommends content according to the user's knowledge level and learning goals. The visualization unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and visualizes the user's understanding and progress. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0152] 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.
[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.
