In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). 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 handover support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes an AI agent to streamline the handover process when an employee's duties are handed over due to transfer or resignation. First, the AI ​​agent collects the information necessary for the handover. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the collected information and organizes the information necessary for the handover. Furthermore, the AI ​​agent provides the latest information in response to questions from the person receiving the handover. This mechanism ensures a smooth handover process and reduces the burden on the person receiving the handover. It also prevents a decline in motivation for the person performing the handover and minimizes the impact on the workplace. For example, the handover support system collects project details, Excel manuals, numerical data, information on data linking departments, communication history with partners, email content, etc. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the collected information and organizes procedures for numerical reporting conducted every Tuesday, how to use SQL, how to link data in BOX, etc. Furthermore, the handover support system provides the latest information in response to questions from the person receiving the handover. For example, it can address situations such as "a new employee who joined this month wants to know the progress of the project," "they want to know a specific manual," or "they want to be briefly informed of the points to check." This system ensures a smooth handover process and reduces the burden on the person receiving the handover. It also prevents a decline in motivation for the person performing the handover and minimizes the impact on the workplace. In short, the handover support system streamlines the handover process and reduces the burden on the person receiving the handover.

[0029] The handover support system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects information necessary for the handover. For example, the collection unit collects information such as project details, Excel manuals, numerical data, information on data linking departments, communication history with partners, and email content. The collection unit can automatically collect this information using AI. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and organizes the information necessary for the handover. For example, the analysis unit organizes the procedures for numerical reporting conducted every Tuesday, how to use SQL, and how to link data in BOX. The analysis unit can automatically analyze and organize this information using AI. The provision unit provides the latest information to the person receiving the handover based on the information organized by the analysis unit. For example, the provision unit can respond to requests such as "a new employee who joined this month wants to know the progress of the project," "they want to know a specific manual," or "they want to be briefly informed of the points to check." The provision unit can automatically provide the latest information to these requests using AI. As a result, the handover support system according to this embodiment can streamline the handover process and reduce the burden on the party receiving the handover.

[0030] The data collection unit gathers information necessary for the handover. For example, the unit collects information such as project details, Excel manuals, numerical data, data linkage department information, partner communication history, and email content. Specifically, project details include project objectives, progress, key milestones, and the roles of involved members. Excel manuals include data entry procedures, formula settings, and graph creation methods. Numerical data includes sales data, cost data, and performance indicators, which are important for evaluating project progress and results. Data linkage department information includes information on departments providing and receiving data, allowing for an understanding of the data flow. Partner communication history includes past communication content, agreements, and unresolved issues, enabling smooth maintenance of relationships with partners. Email content includes important announcements, instructions, and feedback, allowing for an understanding of the communication history. The data collection unit can automatically collect this information using AI. The AI ​​uses natural language processing technology to extract necessary information from emails and documents and store it in a database. Furthermore, the AI ​​regularly updates information and automatically collects any new information that is added. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently gather the information necessary for handover and always maintain the latest information.

[0031] The analysis department analyzes the information collected by the data collection department and organizes the information necessary for the handover. For example, the analysis department organizes procedures for numerical reporting conducted every Tuesday, methods for using SQL, and methods for data integration with BOX. Specifically, the numerical reporting procedures include data collection methods, report creation procedures, and methods for conducting reporting meetings. Methods for using SQL include methods for connecting to the database, creating queries, and extracting data. Methods for data integration with BOX include methods for uploading files, setting up sharing, and managing access permissions. The analysis department can use AI to automatically analyze and organize this information. The AI ​​uses machine learning algorithms to classify the collected information and group related information. The AI ​​also evaluates the importance and relevance of the information and prioritizes the information necessary for the handover. This allows the analysis department to efficiently organize the information necessary for the handover, enabling the recipient to quickly obtain the necessary information. Furthermore, the analysis department not only organizes the information but also visualizes it. For example, it converts numerical data into graphs and charts and provides it in a visually easy-to-understand format. This makes it easier for the person receiving the handover to intuitively understand the information, allowing the handover process to proceed smoothly.

[0032] The information provision department provides up-to-date information to those receiving the handover, based on the information compiled by the analysis department. For example, the department can handle situations such as "a new employee who joined this month wants to know the project's progress," "they need a specific manual," or "they want a concise overview of points to check." Specifically, if a new employee wants to know the project's progress, the department provides information such as the project overview, progress status, key milestones, and future plans. If they need a specific manual, the department provides specific procedures such as Excel manuals, SQL usage instructions, and BOX data integration methods. If they want a concise overview of points to check, the department provides a concise summary of important tasks, points to note, and priorities. The information provision department can use AI to automatically provide the latest information in response to these questions. The AI ​​uses natural language processing technology to understand user questions, search for appropriate information, and provide it. Furthermore, the AI ​​collects user feedback and continuously improves the accuracy and effectiveness of the information provided. This allows the information provision department to enable those receiving the handover to quickly and accurately obtain the necessary information, streamlining the handover process. In addition, the information provision department can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, by using a combination of email, chat, and voice calls, important information can be reliably delivered. This reduces the burden on the receiving party and allows the handover process to proceed smoothly.

[0033] The data collection unit can collect information such as project details, Excel manuals, numerical data, data linkage department information, partner communication history, and email content.

The data collection unit can also collect numerical data such as sales data, access numbers, and statistical information. The data collection unit can also collect data linkage department information such as department name, person in charge, and contact information. The data collection unit can also collect partner communication history such as email exchanges, meeting minutes, and contract details. The data collection unit can also collect email content such as criteria for selecting important emails and how to save them. This allows for a smooth handover process by comprehensively collecting the necessary information. Some or all of the above-described processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit can input project details and numerical data into a generating AI, and the generating AI can automatically collect the information.

[0034] The analysis department can analyze the collected information and organize procedures for weekly numerical reporting (every Tuesday), SQL usage, and data integration methods with Box. For example, the analysis department can organize the numerical reporting procedures, such as the format, frequency, and target audience of the reports. The analysis department can also organize how to use SQL, such as how to write queries and how to operate the database. The analysis department can also organize how to integrate data with Box, such as how to upload files and how to configure sharing settings. By organizing the information in this way, the handover process becomes more efficient. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis department may be performed using AI, or they may not. For example, the analysis department can input the collected numerical data and SQL usage into a generating AI, which can then automatically organize the information.

[0035] The information provision department can provide the latest information in response to questions from those taking over. For example, the information provision department can handle situations such as "a new employee who joined this month wants to know the progress of a project," "they want to know about a specific manual," or "they want a concise overview of the points to check." The information provision department needs to clearly define the specifics of the latest information and the update frequency. For example, it can set the last update date and real-time updates.

[0056] (Example of form 2) The handover support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes an AI agent to streamline the handover process when an employee's duties are handed over due to transfer or resignation. First, the AI ​​agent collects the information necessary for the handover. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the collected information and organizes the information necessary for the handover. Furthermore, the AI ​​agent provides the latest information in response to questions from the person receiving the handover. This mechanism ensures a smooth handover process and reduces the burden on the person receiving the handover. It also prevents a decline in motivation for the person performing the handover and minimizes the impact on the workplace. For example, the handover support system collects project details, Excel manuals, numerical data, information on data linking departments, communication history with partners, email content, etc. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the collected information and organizes procedures for numerical reporting conducted every Tuesday, how to use SQL, how to link data in BOX, etc. Furthermore, the handover support system provides the latest information in response to questions from the person receiving the handover. For example, it can address situations such as "a new employee who joined this month wants to know the progress of the project," "they want to know a specific manual," or "they want to be briefly informed of the points to check." This system ensures a smooth handover process and reduces the burden on the person receiving the handover. It also prevents a decline in motivation for the person performing the handover and minimizes the impact on the workplace. In short, the handover support system streamlines the handover process and reduces the burden on the person receiving the handover.

[0057] The handover support system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects information necessary for the handover. For example, the collection unit collects information such as project details, Excel manuals, numerical data, information on data linking departments, communication history with partners, and email content. The collection unit can automatically collect this information using AI. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and organizes the information necessary for the handover. For example, the analysis unit organizes the procedures for numerical reporting conducted every Tuesday, how to use SQL, and how to link data in BOX. The analysis unit can automatically analyze and organize this information using AI. The provision unit provides the latest information to the person receiving the handover based on the information organized by the analysis unit. For example, the provision unit can respond to requests such as "a new employee who joined this month wants to know the progress of the project," "they want to know a specific manual," or "they want to be briefly informed of the points to check." The provision unit can automatically provide the latest information to these requests using AI. As a result, the handover support system according to this embodiment can streamline the handover process and reduce the burden on the party receiving the handover.

[0058] The data collection unit gathers information necessary for the handover. For example, the unit collects information such as project details, Excel manuals, numerical data, data linkage department information, partner communication history, and email content. Specifically, project details include project objectives, progress, key milestones, and the roles of involved members. Excel manuals include data entry procedures, formula settings, and graph creation methods. Numerical data includes sales data, cost data, and performance indicators, which are important for evaluating project progress and results. Data linkage department information includes information on departments providing and receiving data, allowing for an understanding of the data flow. Partner communication history includes past communication content, agreements, and unresolved issues, enabling smooth maintenance of relationships with partners. Email content includes important announcements, instructions, and feedback, allowing for an understanding of the communication history. The data collection unit can automatically collect this information using AI. The AI ​​uses natural language processing technology to extract necessary information from emails and documents and store it in a database. Furthermore, the AI ​​regularly updates information and automatically collects any new information that is added. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently gather the information necessary for handover and always maintain the latest information.

[0059] The analysis department analyzes the information collected by the data collection department and organizes the information necessary for the handover. For example, the analysis department organizes procedures for numerical reporting conducted every Tuesday, methods for using SQL, and methods for data integration with BOX. Specifically, the numerical reporting procedures include data collection methods, report creation procedures, and methods for conducting reporting meetings. Methods for using SQL include methods for connecting to the database, creating queries, and extracting data. Methods for data integration with BOX include methods for uploading files, setting up sharing, and managing access permissions. The analysis department can use AI to automatically analyze and organize this information. The AI ​​uses machine learning algorithms to classify the collected information and group related information. The AI ​​also evaluates the importance and relevance of the information and prioritizes the information necessary for the handover. This allows the analysis department to efficiently organize the information necessary for the handover, enabling the recipient to quickly obtain the necessary information. Furthermore, the analysis department not only organizes the information but also visualizes it. For example, it converts numerical data into graphs and charts and provides it in a visually easy-to-understand format. This makes it easier for the person receiving the handover to intuitively understand the information, allowing the handover process to proceed smoothly.

[0060] The information provision department provides up-to-date information to those receiving the handover, based on the information compiled by the analysis department. For example, the department can handle situations such as "a new employee who joined this month wants to know the project's progress," "they need a specific manual," or "they want a concise overview of points to check." Specifically, if a new employee wants to know the project's progress, the department provides information such as the project overview, progress status, key milestones, and future plans. If they need a specific manual, the department provides specific procedures such as Excel manuals, SQL usage instructions, and BOX data integration methods. If they want a concise overview of points to check, the department provides a concise summary of important tasks, points to note, and priorities. The information provision department can use AI to automatically provide the latest information in response to these questions. The AI ​​uses natural language processing technology to understand user questions, search for appropriate information, and provide it. Furthermore, the AI ​​collects user feedback and continuously improves the accuracy and effectiveness of the information provided. This allows the information provision department to enable those receiving the handover to quickly and accurately obtain the necessary information, streamlining the handover process. In addition, the information provision department can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, by using a combination of email, chat, and voice calls, important information can be reliably delivered. This reduces the burden on the receiving party and allows the handover process to proceed smoothly.

[0061] The data collection unit can collect information such as project details, Excel manuals, numerical data, data linkage department information, partner communication history, and email content.

[0101] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0102] The smart glasses 214 include a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0103] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. 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.

[0104] 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).

[0105] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0106] Figure 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Figure 4, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing by the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0107] The processor 28 reads a 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 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0108] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0109] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart glasses 214 also have a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0110] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58.

Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0111] 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 microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0112] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI.

[0131] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0132] 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.

[0133] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

[0134] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0135] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. 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.

[0136] 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 image sensor or CCD 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).

[0137] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0138] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0139] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0140] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30.

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.

[0142] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0143] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0144] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0145] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data).

Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0146] 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.

[0147] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the following: the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit is implemented by the computer 36 of the robot 414 and collects information such as project details and Excel manuals. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected information to organize the information necessary for the handover. The provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides the latest information in response to questions from the party receiving the handover. 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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."

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.
