[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. 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.

[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. 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 operating as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart device 14 also has 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.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 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 telephone answering system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses AI to handle and forward calls and inquiries from around the world. This telephone answering system connects all incoming calls to registered landlines, mobile phones, and intercoms to an AI center. The AI ​​answers the call on behalf of the user and, if necessary, forwards it to a smartphone. For example, the AI ​​can pretend to be a family member when answering the call. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the content of the call and decides whether to forward it or share it on social media. For example, if it is an important call, it will be forwarded to the user; otherwise, it will be shared on social media. Also, if the user cannot answer immediately, the AI ​​will respond in a polite manner. Furthermore, if the AI ​​determines that it is a spam call, it will take appropriate action. For example, it will brush off the spam call and share it on social media. In some cases, it can also report it to the police. As a result, the user is freed from troublesome problems related to telephones. Because the AI ​​analyzes the content of the call and takes appropriate action, the user can entrust their calls to the system with peace of mind. Also, because spam calls are handled appropriately, the user's safety is ensured. In this way, the telephone answering system solves troublesome problems related to telephones for the user and allows them to entrust their calls to the system with peace of mind.

[0029] The telephone reception system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a call forwarding unit, and a response unit. The reception unit receives incoming calls from telephones and intercoms. The reception unit can receive incoming calls from, for example, landlines, mobile phones, and video intercoms. The analysis unit analyzes the content of the call based on the incoming call received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the content of the call using, for example, speech recognition technology or natural language processing technology. The call forwarding unit forwards the call based on the content analyzed by the analysis unit. The call forwarding unit can, for example, forward important calls to users and share unimportant calls on social media. The response unit responds appropriately to nuisance calls based on the content forwarded by the call forwarding unit. The response unit can, for example, brush off nuisance calls appropriately and share them on social media. In some cases, it can also report to the police. As a result, the telephone reception system can efficiently receive, analyze, forward, and appropriately respond to nuisance calls from telephones and intercoms.

[0030] The reception unit receives incoming calls from telephones and intercoms. For example, it can receive calls from landlines, mobile phones, and video intercoms. Specifically, the reception unit supports various communication methods and is equipped with hardware and software to receive signals from landline telephones, mobile phone networks, and video intercoms via the internet. For landlines, the reception unit is connected to the telephone line and automatically answers upon detecting an incoming call. For mobile phones, the reception unit is equipped with a SIM card and receives calls via the mobile phone network. For video intercoms, the reception unit receives video and audio signals via an internet connection and can respond in real time. This allows the reception unit to centrally manage and efficiently handle calls from various devices. Furthermore, the reception unit can be configured to use different response methods depending on the type and origin of the call. For example, it can answer important calls immediately and play an automated response message for spam calls or calls from unknown sources. The reception unit also has a function to record call history for later review. This allows the reception unit to efficiently manage telephones and intercoms without the user missing important calls.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the content of incoming calls based on those received by the reception unit. The analysis unit uses technologies such as speech recognition and natural language processing to analyze the call content. Specifically, it uses speech recognition to convert incoming audio into text data, and then analyzes that text data using natural language processing. The speech recognition technology uses a highly accurate speech recognition engine to convert the speaker's voice into text in real time. Natural language processing extracts important keywords and phrases from the text data and performs analysis to understand the call content. For example, the analysis unit identifies the caller's intentions and requirements from the call content and extracts important information. The analysis unit can also refer to past call content and caller history data to identify callers and evaluate the importance of calls. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the content of received calls and provide the information necessary for the next processing step. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize AI technology to automatically classify the call content and suggest appropriate responses. For example, it can classify calls into business-related calls, personal calls, spam calls, etc., and provide information for appropriate responses to each. This allows the analysis unit to efficiently analyze the content of phone calls, improving the overall response accuracy and efficiency of the system.

[0032] The call forwarding unit forwards calls based on the analysis performed by the analysis unit. For example, the call forwarding unit can forward important calls to users and share unimportant calls on social media. Specifically, based on the information provided by the analysis unit, the call forwarding unit selects the appropriate forwarding method according to the importance and content of the call. In the case of an important call, the call forwarding unit notifies the user directly so that they can respond immediately. For example, it can send a notification to the user's smartphone or computer to let them know that an important call has come in. The call forwarding unit can also select the optimal forwarding method considering the user's schedule and current situation. For example, if the user is in a meeting, it can send a notification after the meeting has ended. On the other hand, in the case of unimportant or spam calls, the call forwarding unit can share them on social media. For example, by posting the content of a spam call on social media and sharing the information with other users, measures can be taken to combat spam calls. The call forwarding unit also has a function to record the content of calls so that they can be reviewed later. This allows the call forwarding unit to forward calls appropriately according to their content, enabling users to respond efficiently without missing important calls. Furthermore, the intermediary unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its intermediary methods. This allows the intermediary unit to provide users with the best possible intermediary service and improve the overall reliability and convenience of the system.

[0033] The response department will appropriately address nuisance calls based on the information relayed by the call forwarding department. For example, the response department may brush off nuisance calls appropriately and share the information on social media. In some cases, it may also report the call to the police. Specifically, the response department will analyze the content of the nuisance call and select an appropriate response method. For example, it may play an automated message to the caller urging them to hang up. It can also record the content of the nuisance call and share it on social media to share information with other users and take measures against nuisance calls. Furthermore, the response department can identify the source of the nuisance call and report it to the police if necessary. For example, if nuisance calls occur repeatedly or contain threatening content, the response department can report it to the police and request appropriate action. In this way, the response department can respond to nuisance calls quickly and appropriately, ensuring the safety and security of users. Furthermore, the response department can accumulate data on nuisance calls and use it for future countermeasures. For example, it can analyze patterns of nuisance calls and trends of callers to take preventative measures. This allows the response unit to strengthen its ability to handle nuisance calls and improve the overall reliability and security of the system.

[0034] The telephone reception system according to this embodiment includes a response unit that responds by pretending to be a family member. The response unit can respond by pretending to be a family member. For example, the response unit can respond by imitating the voice and manner of speaking of the user's family members. For example, the response unit can record the voice of the user's family members and use that voice to respond. The response unit can also learn the manner of speaking of the user's family members and respond by imitating that manner. For example, the response unit can use a generative AI to learn the manner of speaking of the user's family members. The generative AI learns the manner of speaking of the user's family members and responds by imitating that manner. As a result, the response unit can respond more naturally by pretending to be a family member.

[0035] The telephone reception system according to this embodiment includes a sharing unit that performs SNS sharing. The sharing unit can perform SNS sharing. For example, the sharing unit can share the content of a phone call on SNS. For example, the sharing unit can convert the content of a phone call into text and share that text on SNS. The sharing unit can also share the content of a phone call as an audio file on SNS. For example, the sharing unit can save the content of a phone call as an audio file and share that audio file on SNS. For example, the sharing unit can use a generation AI to convert the content of a phone call into text. The generation AI converts the content of a phone call into text and shares that text on SNS. As a result, the sharing unit makes it easy to share information by performing SNS sharing.

[0036] The telephone reception system according to this embodiment includes a reporting unit that makes reports to the police. The reporting unit can make reports to the police. For example, the reporting unit can report nuisance calls to the police. For example, the reporting unit can record the content of nuisance calls and send the recording to the police. The reporting unit can also convert the content of nuisance calls into text and send that text to the police. For example, the reporting unit can use a generation AI to convert the content of nuisance calls into text. The generation AI converts the content of nuisance calls into text and sends that text to the police. As a result, the reporting unit strengthens its response to nuisance calls by making reports to the police.

[0037] The analysis unit can analyze the content of a phone call and decide whether to transfer the call or share it on social media. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the content of a call and transfer it to the user if it is important, or share it on social media otherwise. For example, the analysis unit can use generative AI to analyze the content of a phone call. The generative AI analyzes the content of a phone call and transfers it to the user if it is important, or shares it on social media otherwise. This allows the analysis unit to analyze the content of a call and determine the appropriate response, enabling efficient call transfers.

[0038] The response unit can appropriately handle spam calls and share the information on social media. For example, the response unit can appropriately handle spam calls and share the content on social media. For example, the response unit can record the content of spam calls and share the recording on social media. The response unit can also convert the content of spam calls into text and share that text on social media. For example, the response unit can use generative AI to convert the content of spam calls into text. The generative AI converts the content of spam calls into text and shares that text on social media. In this way, the response unit can appropriately handle spam calls and reduce their impact by sharing the information on social media.

[0039] The reception desk can select the optimal reception method when receiving an incoming call by referring to the user's past interaction history. For example, the reception desk may prioritize incoming calls from people the user has frequently interacted with in the past. For example, the reception desk may prioritize suggesting reception methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. For example, the reception desk may predict and suggest who the user should interact with during a specific time period based on the user's past interaction history. In this way, the reception desk can select the optimal reception method by referring to past interaction history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk may input the user's past interaction history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal reception method.

[0040] The reception unit can filter incoming calls based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. For example, if the user is in a meeting, the reception unit will only accept important calls and notify the user of other calls later. For example, the reception unit will prioritize incoming calls related to the user's specific areas of interest. For example, if the user is driving, the reception unit will prioritize voice input and allow hands-free call acceptance. This allows the reception unit to accept calls more appropriately by filtering based on the user's situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's current situation data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.

[0041] The reception unit can prioritize incoming calls by considering the user's geographical location when receiving incoming calls. For example, if the user is in a specific location, the reception unit will prioritize incoming calls related to that location. For example, if the user is traveling, the reception unit will prioritize incoming calls related to the travel destination. For example, if the user is at home, the reception unit will prioritize incoming calls from family and friends. In this way, the reception unit can prioritize incoming calls by considering the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's geographical location data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the most relevant incoming calls.

[0042] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity when receiving an incoming call and accept relevant calls. For example, the reception unit may prioritize incoming calls from people the user frequently interacts with on social media. For example, the reception unit may prioritize incoming calls related to topics the user has shown interest in on social media. For example, the reception unit may prioritize incoming calls from accounts the user follows on social media. In this way, the reception unit can prioritize accepting relevant calls by analyzing social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit may input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select relevant calls.

[0043] The analysis unit can optimize its analysis algorithm by referring to past analysis data when analyzing the content of a phone call. For example, the analysis unit can select the optimal analysis algorithm based on past analysis data. For example, the analysis unit can extract specific patterns from past analysis data and optimize the analysis algorithm. For example, the analysis unit can analyze past analysis data to improve analysis accuracy. In this way, the analysis unit can optimize its analysis algorithm by referring to past analysis data. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input past analysis data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the optimization of the analysis algorithm.

[0044] The analysis unit can apply different analysis methods depending on the category of the call when analyzing the content of a call.

[0062] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0063] The reception desk can refer to the user's schedule and adjust how incoming calls are received based on that schedule. For example, if the user is in a meeting, only important calls will be received, and other calls will be notified later. If the user is on vacation, all incoming calls will be automatically shared on social media. If the user is exercising, voice input will be prioritized, allowing for hands-free call reception. This allows the reception desk to provide more appropriate reception by adjusting how calls are received according to the user's schedule.

[0064] The analysis unit can learn from the user's past phone calls and apply the most suitable analysis method to similar calls. For example, it performs a detailed analysis on calls previously deemed important, a concise analysis on calls previously deemed spam, and an analysis suitable for social media sharing on content previously shared on social media. This allows the analysis unit to perform more efficient analysis by referring to past phone calls.

[0065] The call forwarding unit can detect the user's current activity status and adjust the call forwarding method based on that status. For example, if the user is driving, voice input will be prioritized and the call forwarding will be done hands-free. If the user is in a meeting, only important calls will be forwarded, and other calls will be notified later. If the user is relaxed, all calls will be forwarded equally. In this way, the call forwarding unit can provide more appropriate calls forwarding by adjusting the call forwarding method according to the user's activity status.

[0066] The response unit can refer to the user's past response history and select the optimal response method. For example, it can prioritize applying response methods that were effective in the past, and avoid response methods that caused problems in the past. It can also extract specific patterns from past response history and optimize the response algorithm.

In this way, the sharing function can suggest more appropriate sharing methods by analyzing the user's social media activity.

[0068] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0069] Step 1: The reception desk receives incoming calls via telephone and intercom. The reception desk can receive calls from, for example, landlines, mobile phones, and video intercoms. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the content of the call based on the incoming call received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the content of the call using, for example, speech recognition technology or natural language processing technology. Step 3: The call forwarding unit forwards calls based on the analysis performed by the analysis unit. For example, the call forwarding unit can forward important calls to users and share unimportant calls on social media. Step 4: The response department will appropriately address the nuisance call based on the information relayed by the forwarding department. For example, the response department may brush off the nuisance call and share it on social media. In some cases, they may also report it to the police.

[0070] (Example of form 2) The telephone answering system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses AI to handle and forward calls and inquiries from around the world. This telephone answering system connects all incoming calls to registered landlines, mobile phones, and intercoms to an AI center. The AI ​​answers the call on behalf of the user and, if necessary, forwards it to a smartphone. For example, the AI ​​can pretend to be a family member when answering the call. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the content of the call and decides whether to forward it or share it on social media. For example, if it is an important call, it will be forwarded to the user; otherwise, it will be shared on social media. Also, if the user cannot answer immediately, the AI ​​will respond in a polite manner. Furthermore, if the AI ​​determines that it is a spam call, it will take appropriate action. For example, it will brush off the spam call and share it on social media. In some cases, it can also report it to the police. As a result, the user is freed from troublesome problems related to telephones. Because the AI ​​analyzes the content of the call and takes appropriate action, the user can entrust their calls to the system with peace of mind. Also, because spam calls are handled appropriately, the user's safety is ensured. In this way, the telephone answering system solves troublesome problems related to telephones for the user and allows them to entrust their calls to the system with peace of mind.

[0071] The telephone reception system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a call forwarding unit, and a response unit. The reception unit receives incoming calls from telephones and intercoms. The reception unit can receive incoming calls from, for example, landlines, mobile phones, and video intercoms. The analysis unit analyzes the content of the call based on the incoming call received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the content of the call using, for example, speech recognition technology or natural language processing technology. The call forwarding unit forwards the call based on the content analyzed by the analysis unit. The call forwarding unit can, for example, forward important calls to users and share unimportant calls on social media. The response unit responds appropriately to nuisance calls based on the content forwarded by the call forwarding unit. The response unit can, for example, brush off nuisance calls appropriately and share them on social media. In some cases, it can also report to the police. As a result, the telephone reception system can efficiently receive, analyze, forward, and appropriately respond to nuisance calls from telephones and intercoms.

[0072] The reception unit receives incoming calls from telephones and intercoms. For example, it can receive calls from landlines, mobile phones, and video intercoms. Specifically, the reception unit supports various communication methods and is equipped with hardware and software to receive signals from landline telephones, mobile phone networks, and video intercoms via the internet. For landlines, the reception unit is connected to the telephone line and automatically answers upon detecting an incoming call. For mobile phones, the reception unit is equipped with a SIM card and receives calls via the mobile phone network. For video intercoms, the reception unit receives video and audio signals via an internet connection and can respond in real time. This allows the reception unit to centrally manage and efficiently handle calls from various devices. Furthermore, the reception unit can be configured to use different response methods depending on the type and origin of the call. For example, it can answer important calls immediately and play an automated response message for spam calls or calls from unknown sources. The reception unit also has a function to record call history for later review. This allows the reception unit to efficiently manage telephones and intercoms without the user missing important calls.

[0073] The analysis unit analyzes the content of incoming calls based on those received by the reception unit. The analysis unit uses technologies such as speech recognition and natural language processing to analyze the call content. Specifically, it uses speech recognition to convert incoming audio into text data, and then analyzes that text data using natural language processing. The speech recognition technology uses a highly accurate speech recognition engine to convert the speaker's voice into text in real time. Natural language processing extracts important keywords and phrases from the text data and performs analysis to understand the call content. For example, the analysis unit identifies the caller's intentions and requirements from the call content and extracts important information. The analysis unit can also refer to past call content and caller history data to identify callers and evaluate the importance of calls. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the content of received calls and provide the information necessary for the next processing step. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize AI technology to automatically classify the call content and suggest appropriate responses. For example, it can classify calls into business-related calls, personal calls, spam calls, etc., and provide information for appropriate responses to each. This allows the analysis unit to efficiently analyze the content of phone calls, improving the overall response accuracy and efficiency of the system.

[0074] The call forwarding unit forwards calls based on the analysis performed by the analysis unit. For example, the call forwarding unit can forward important calls to users and share unimportant calls on social media. Specifically, based on the information provided by the analysis unit, the call forwarding unit selects the appropriate forwarding method according to the importance and content of the call. In the case of an important call, the call forwarding unit notifies the user directly so that they can respond immediately. For example, it can send a notification to the user's smartphone or computer to let them know that an important call has come in. The call forwarding unit can also select the optimal forwarding method considering the user's schedule and current situation. For example, if the user is in a meeting, it can send a notification after the meeting has ended. On the other hand, in the case of unimportant or spam calls, the call forwarding unit can share them on social media. For example, by posting the content of a spam call on social media and sharing the information with other users, measures can be taken to combat spam calls. The call forwarding unit also has a function to record the content of calls so that they can be reviewed later. This allows the call forwarding unit to forward calls appropriately according to their content, enabling users to respond efficiently without missing important calls. Furthermore, the intermediary unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its intermediary methods. This allows the intermediary unit to provide users with the best possible intermediary service and improve the overall reliability and convenience of the system.

[0075] The response department will appropriately address nuisance calls based on the information relayed by the call forwarding department. For example, the response department may brush off nuisance calls appropriately and share the information on social media. In some cases, it may also report the call to the police. Specifically, the response department will analyze the content of the nuisance call and select an appropriate response method. For example, it may play an automated message to the caller urging them to hang up. It can also record the content of the nuisance call and share it on social media to share information with other users and take measures against nuisance calls. Furthermore, the response department can identify the source of the nuisance call and report it to the police if necessary. For example, if nuisance calls occur repeatedly or contain threatening content, the response department can report it to the police and request appropriate action. In this way, the response department can respond to nuisance calls quickly and appropriately, ensuring the safety and security of users. Furthermore, the response department can accumulate data on nuisance calls and use it for future countermeasures. For example, it can analyze patterns of nuisance calls and trends of callers to take preventative measures. This allows the response unit to strengthen its ability to handle nuisance calls and improve the overall reliability and security of the system.

[0076] The telephone reception system according to this embodiment includes a response unit that responds by pretending to be a family member. The response unit can respond by pretending to be a family member. For example, the response unit can respond by imitating the voice and manner of speaking of the user's family members. For example, the response unit can record the voice of the user's family members and use that voice to respond. The response unit can also learn the manner of speaking of the user's family members and respond by imitating that manner. For example, the response unit can use a generative AI to learn the manner of speaking of the user's family members. The generative AI learns the manner of speaking of the user's family members and responds by imitating that manner. As a result, the response unit can respond more naturally by pretending to be a family member.

[0118] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0119] The reception desk can refer to the user's schedule and adjust how incoming calls are received based on that schedule. For example, if the user is in a meeting, only important calls will be received, and other calls will be notified later. If the user is on vacation, all incoming calls will be automatically shared on social media. If the user is exercising, voice input will be prioritized, allowing for hands-free call reception. This allows the reception desk to provide more appropriate reception by adjusting how calls are received according to the user's schedule.

[0120] The analysis unit can learn from the user's past phone calls and apply the most suitable analysis method to similar calls.

This allows the analysis unit to perform more efficient analysis by referring to past phone calls.

[0121] The call forwarding unit can detect the user's current activity status and adjust the call forwarding method based on that status. For example, if the user is driving, voice input will be prioritized and the call forwarding will be done hands-free. If the user is in a meeting, only important calls will be forwarded, and other calls will be notified later. If the user is relaxed, all calls will be forwarded equally. In this way, the call forwarding unit can provide more appropriate calls forwarding by adjusting the call forwarding method according to the user's activity status.

[0122] The response unit can refer to the user's past response history and select the optimal response method.

In this way, the sharing function can suggest more appropriate sharing methods by analyzing the user's social media activity.

[0124] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust how calls are answered based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can provide a simple interface and minimize the steps required to answer the call. If the user is relaxed, it can offer detailed answering options and suggest a customizable answering method. If the user is in a hurry, it can prioritize voice input to allow for quick answering. This allows the reception desk to provide more appropriate answers by adjusting how calls are answered according to the user's emotions.

[0125] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the phone call content analysis method based on the estimated emotions.

In this way, the intermediary unit can provide more appropriate intermediary services by adjusting the intermediary method according to the user's emotions.

[0127] The response unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust its response to nuisance calls based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it provides a concise response. If the user is relaxed, it provides a detailed response. If the user is in a hurry, it provides a quick response. This allows the response unit to provide a more appropriate response by adjusting its response to nuisance calls according to the user's emotions.

[0128] The sharing function can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the SNS sharing method based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it provides a concise SNS sharing method.

Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the content of the call based on the incoming call received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the content of the call using, for example, speech recognition technology or natural language processing technology. Step 3: The call forwarding unit forwards calls based on the analysis performed by the analysis unit. For example, the call forwarding unit can forward important calls to users and share unimportant calls on social media. Step 4: The response department will appropriately address the nuisance call based on the information relayed by the forwarding department. For example, the response department may brush off the nuisance call and share it on social media. In some cases, they may also report it to the police.

[0157] 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.

[0158] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific 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 program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 also has 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.

[0162] 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.).

[0163] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 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.

[0164] 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 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. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. 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.

For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and receives incoming calls from landlines, mobile phones, video intercoms, etc. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the content of the call using speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology. The call forwarding unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and forwards important calls to the user and shares unimportant calls on SNS. The response unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and handles spam calls appropriately and shares them on SNS. The customer service unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and responds by mimicking the voices and speaking styles of the user's family members. The sharing function is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, which converts the content of a phone call into text and shares that text on social media. The reporting function is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, which records the content of a nuisance call and sends the recording to the police. The correspondence between each function and the devices and control units is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0167] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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).

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.).

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, call forwarding unit, response unit, customer service unit, sharing unit, and notification unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives incoming calls from landlines, mobile phones, video intercoms, etc. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the content of the call using speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology.

The reporting function is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, which records the content of a nuisance call and sends the recording to the police. The correspondence between each function and the devices and control units is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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."

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
