[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.

[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.

[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) An AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that translates a user's voice into another language in real time, supporting global communication. This AI agent system translates a user's voice into another language in real time, supporting global communication. Users can convert their voice into a selected language, enabling real-time conversation. Specifically, it combines speech recognition technology and instant translation technology to instantly translate the user's statements into another language. The AI agent learns from the user's language usage patterns to improve translation accuracy. It is a cloud-based service, offering scalability and ease of access. Target users include those in multilingual communities, professionals conducting international business, and educational institutions that value intercultural exchange. For example, the AI agent system recognizes the user's voice in real time and translates it instantly. For instance, if a user speaks in English, the AI agent system recognizes the speech and instantly translates it into Japanese. Furthermore, the AI agent system learns the user's language usage patterns to improve translation accuracy. For example, it learns frequently used phrases and words and incorporates them into subsequent translations. Because it is a cloud-based service, users can access it from anywhere simply by connecting to the internet. For example, it is envisioned for use in business meetings and international events. This will enable the AI agent system to improve communication speed, enhance language understanding, and expand user participation. The AI agent system can translate user statements in real time, supporting global communication.
[0029] The AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a speech recognition unit, a translation unit, an output unit, and a provision unit. The speech recognition unit recognizes the user's speech. For example, the speech recognition unit collects the user's speech using a microphone and converts it into text data using speech recognition technology. The speech recognition unit can analyze the speech data using AI and accurately recognize the content of the speech. For example, the speech recognition unit removes background noise using noise cancellation technology to clearly recognize the content of the speech. The speech recognition unit can also adjust its recognition algorithm according to the speed and rhythm of the user's speech. For example, if the user speaks quickly, the speech recognition unit speeds up the recognition algorithm to accommodate this. The translation unit translates the speech recognized by the speech recognition unit. The translation unit can translate the text data into other languages using AI. For example, the translation unit translates what the user says in English into Japanese. The translation unit can also learn the user's language usage patterns to improve translation accuracy. For example, the translation unit learns phrases and words that the user frequently uses and reflects them in subsequent translations. The output unit outputs the speech translated by the translation unit. The output unit can generate audio data using AI and provide it to the user. For example, the output unit converts translated text data into audio data using speech synthesis technology and outputs it through the speaker. The output unit can also optimize the audio quality according to the acoustic characteristics of the user's device. For example, the output unit adjusts the audio quality according to the speaker characteristics of a smartphone. The delivery unit provides the user with the audio translated by the translation unit. The delivery unit can estimate the user's emotions using AI and adjust the delivery method. For example, if the delivery unit is nervous, it will provide the information in a calm manner. The delivery unit can also select the optimal delivery timing by referring to the user's past usage history. For example, if the delivery unit has received information at a specific time in the past, it will provide the information at that time. As a result, the AI agent system according to this embodiment can translate user statements in real time and support global communication.
[0030] The speech recognition unit recognizes the user's speech. For example, the speech recognition unit collects the user's voice using a microphone and converts it into text data using speech recognition technology. Specifically, the speech recognition unit uses a high-sensitivity microphone to clearly collect the user's voice, and the collected voice data is processed using noise cancellation technology to remove background noise. This allows the speech recognition unit to clearly recognize the content of the speech. Furthermore, the speech recognition unit uses AI to analyze the voice data and accurately recognize the content of the speech. The AI uses deep learning technology to extract features from the voice data and identify phonemes and words. For example, the speech recognition unit can adjust its recognition algorithm according to the speed and rhythm of the user's speech. If the user speaks quickly, the recognition algorithm is accelerated to accommodate this, and conversely, if the user speaks slowly, the algorithm is adjusted to ensure accurate recognition. In addition, the speech recognition unit learns from a variety of voice data in advance so that it can handle differences in the user's pronunciation and accent. This allows the speech recognition unit to accurately recognize the speech of users who speak different languages or dialects. Furthermore, the speech recognition unit can process voice data in real time and convert it into text data without delay. This allows users to communicate smoothly.
[0031] The translation unit translates the speech recognized by the speech recognition unit. The translation unit can also translate text data into other languages using AI. Specifically, the translation unit uses neural machine translation (NMT) technology to translate text data with high accuracy. NMT utilizes deep learning to provide natural translations that consider context and meaning. For example, when translating what a user says in English into Japanese, the translation unit selects appropriate words and phrases according to the context. The translation unit can also learn the user's language usage patterns to improve translation accuracy. By learning frequently used phrases and words and incorporating them into subsequent translations, it provides more natural and accurate translations. Furthermore, the translation unit learns relevant data in advance to handle specialized terminology and industry-specific expressions. This enables it to provide highly accurate translations even in business and technical conversations. The translation unit also performs real-time translations, allowing users to continue communicating smoothly. For example, it can instantly translate user statements during meetings or phone conversations and convey them to the other party. In this way, the translation unit supports smooth communication across language barriers.
[0032] The output unit outputs the audio translated by the translation unit. The output unit can generate audio data using AI and provide it to the user. Specifically, the output unit uses text-to-speech (TTS) technology to convert the translated text data into natural-sounding audio. TTS technology utilizes deep learning to generate audio with natural intonation and intonation. For example, the output unit converts the translated text data into audio data and outputs it through the speaker. The output unit can also optimize the audio quality according to the acoustic characteristics of the user's device. For example, it can adjust the audio quality according to the speaker characteristics of a smartphone to provide clear and easy-to-understand audio. Furthermore, the output unit can adjust the tone and speed of the audio according to the user's preferences. For example, if the user prefers a calm tone, it will adjust and generate the audio accordingly. The output unit also supports multiple languages and can output audio in the language selected by the user. This allows the output unit to provide the user with natural and easy-to-understand audio, supporting smooth communication.
[0033] The delivery unit provides users with audio translated by the translation unit. The delivery unit can use AI to estimate the user's emotions and adjust the delivery method accordingly. Specifically, the delivery unit estimates emotions from the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and content of speech, and delivers information in an appropriate manner. For example, if the user is nervous, the information will be delivered in a calm manner. The AI analyzes the user's emotions in real time using emotion recognition technology and adjusts the delivery method accordingly. The delivery unit can also select the optimal delivery timing by referring to the user's past usage history. For example, if the user has received information at a specific time in the past, the information will be delivered at that time. Furthermore, the delivery unit can customize the information delivery method according to the user's preferences. For example, if the user prefers visual information, the information will be delivered using text and images; if the user prefers auditory information, the information will be delivered via audio. The delivery unit can also collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the delivery method. This allows the delivery unit to deliver information to users in the most optimal way and improve user satisfaction.
[0034] The AI agent system further includes a learning unit that learns the user's language usage patterns. The learning unit can use AI to learn the user's language usage patterns and improve translation accuracy. For example, the learning unit learns frequently used phrases and words by the user and incorporates them into future translations. The learning unit can also use AI to analyze the user's utterances and extract language usage patterns. For example, if the user frequently uses a particular grammatical structure, the learning unit learns that pattern and improves translation accuracy. The learning unit can also use AI to analyze the tone and rhythm of the user's utterances and learn language usage patterns. For example, if the user speaks in a particular tone, the learning unit learns that tone and improves translation accuracy. In this way, learning the user's language usage patterns improves translation accuracy.
[0035] The speech recognition unit can analyze background noise in response to the user's speech and optimize noise cancellation. For example, if the user is in a noisy environment, the speech recognition unit can analyze the background noise in real time and apply noise cancellation to clearly recognize the speech. If the user is in a quiet environment, the speech recognition unit can also analyze the background noise and adjust the noise cancellation intensity to recognize natural speech. If the user is moving, the speech recognition unit can also detect changes in background noise in real time and dynamically adjust noise cancellation. This allows for clear recognition of speech by analyzing background noise and optimizing noise cancellation. Some or all of the above processing in the speech recognition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the speech recognition unit can input background noise data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform noise cancellation optimization.
[0036] The speech recognition unit can adjust its recognition algorithm according to the user's speaking speed and rhythm during speech recognition. For example, if the user speaks quickly, the speech recognition unit can detect the speaking speed in real time and speed up the recognition algorithm accordingly. If the user speaks slowly, the speech recognition unit can also analyze the rhythm of the speech and optimize the recognition algorithm for accurate recognition. If the user speaks with an irregular rhythm, the speech recognition unit can learn the speech pattern and dynamically adjust the recognition algorithm. This improves recognition accuracy by adjusting the recognition algorithm according to the speaking speed and rhythm. Some or all of the above processing in the speech recognition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the speech recognition unit can input speech speed data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the recognition algorithm.
[0037] The speech recognition unit can correct dialects and accents based on the user's geographical location information during speech recognition. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the speech recognition unit corrects the dialect and accent of that region based on the geographical location information. If the user moves to a different region, the speech recognition unit can acquire new geographical location information and dynamically correct the dialect and accent. If the user is in an international environment, the speech recognition unit can correct multiple dialects and accents based on the geographical location information. This improves recognition accuracy by correcting dialects and accents based on geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the speech recognition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the speech recognition unit can input geographical location data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the dialect and accent correction.
[0038] The speech recognition unit can analyze the user's social media activity during speech recognition and prioritize the recognition of specific terms and phrases. For example, the speech recognition unit can analyze and prioritize the recognition of terms and phrases that the user frequently uses on social media. If the user is talking about a specific topic, the speech recognition unit can also prioritize the recognition of relevant terms and phrases based on their social media activity. If the user uses new terms or phrases, the speech recognition unit can also analyze their social media activity in real time and update their recognition algorithm. This improves recognition accuracy by analyzing social media activity and prioritizing the recognition of specific terms and phrases. Some or all of the above processing in the speech recognition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the speech recognition unit can input social media data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the priority recognition of specific terms and phrases.
[0039] The translation unit can select the most appropriate translation by considering the context of the statement during the translation process. For example, if the user is speaking in a business meeting, the translation unit will select formal expressions considering the context. If the user is having a casual conversation, the translation unit can also select relaxed expressions considering the context. If the user is talking about a technical topic, the translation unit can also appropriately translate technical terms considering the context. This improves the accuracy of the translation by selecting the most appropriate translation by considering the context of the statement. Some or all of the above processing in the translation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the translation unit can input contextual data of the statement into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the selection of the most appropriate translation.
[0040] The translation unit can appropriately translate specialized terminology according to the user's field of expertise during translation. For example, if the user is a medical expert, the translation unit will appropriately translate medical terminology. If the user is a legal expert, the translation unit can also appropriately translate legal terminology. If the user is an engineering expert, the translation unit can also appropriately translate technical terminology. This improves the accuracy of the translation by appropriately translating specialized terminology according to the user's field of expertise. Some or all of the above processing in the translation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the translation unit can input specialized terminology data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the translation of the specialized terminology.
[0041] The translation unit can provide consistent translations by referring to the user's past translation history during the translation process. For example, the translation unit can refer to translation expressions previously used by the user to provide consistent translations. The translation unit can also consistently use certain terms if the user has used them in the past. The translation unit can also refer to contexts in which the user has previously translated and provide consistent translations in similar contexts. This improves translation accuracy by providing consistent translations by referring to past translation history. Some or all of the above processes in the translation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the translation unit can input past translation history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform consistent translations.
[0042] The translation unit can select appropriate expressions while considering the user's cultural background during translation. For example, if the user belongs to a specific cultural sphere, the translation unit will select expressions appropriate to that culture. If the user is speaking with someone from a different cultural sphere, the translation unit can also select appropriate expressions considering both cultures. If the user is speaking in an international setting, the translation unit can also select culturally neutral expressions. By selecting appropriate expressions while considering cultural background, the accuracy of the translation is improved. Some or all of the above processing in the translation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the translation unit can input cultural background data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the selection of appropriate expressions.
[0043] The output unit can optimize the audio quality according to the acoustic characteristics of the user's device when outputting. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the output unit can optimize the audio quality according to the speaker characteristics of the device. If the user is using headphones, the output unit can also optimize the audio quality according to the acoustic characteristics of the headphones. If the user is using the device in a car, the output unit can also optimize the audio quality according to the acoustic characteristics of the car. This provides better audio by optimizing the audio quality according to the acoustic characteristics of the device. Some or all of the above processing in the output unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the output unit can input the device's acoustic characteristic data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the optimization of the audio quality.
[0044] The output unit can adjust the frequency band of the audio based on the user's auditory characteristics during output. For example, if the user has difficulty hearing high frequencies, the output unit can adjust the frequency band of the audio to emphasize the high frequencies. If the user has difficulty hearing low frequencies, the output unit can also adjust the frequency band of the audio to emphasize the low frequencies. If the user is sensitive to a particular frequency band, the output unit can adjust that frequency band to provide a more comfortable audio experience. In this way, by adjusting the frequency band of the audio based on auditory characteristics, a more appropriate audio is provided. Some or all of the above processing in the output unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the output unit can input the user's auditory characteristics data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the audio frequency band.
[0045] The output unit can analyze the user's ambient noise and set the optimal volume when outputting. For example, if the user is in a noisy environment, the output unit can analyze the ambient noise and automatically increase the volume. If the user is in a quiet environment, the output unit can also analyze the ambient noise and automatically decrease the volume. If the user is moving, the output unit can analyze changes in ambient noise in real time and dynamically adjust the volume. This allows for more appropriate audio to be provided by analyzing ambient noise and setting the optimal volume. Some or all of the above processing in the output unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the output unit can input ambient noise data into a generating AI and have the generating AI set the optimal volume.
[0046] The output unit can apply a power-saving mode when outputting, taking into account the battery status of the user's device. For example, if the battery of the user's device is low, the output unit will apply a power-saving mode to optimize audio output. The output unit can also output audio in normal mode when the user's device is charging. The output unit can also monitor the battery status of the user's device in real time and apply a power-saving mode as needed. This allows for extending battery life by applying a power-saving mode while considering the device's battery status. Some or all of the above processing in the output unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the output unit can input battery status data to a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of a power-saving mode.
[0047] The service provider can select the optimal delivery timing by referring to the user's past usage history at the time of delivery. For example, if the service provider has received information during a specific time period in the past, it will provide the information during that time period. If the service provider has received information under specific circumstances in the past, it can also provide the information under similar circumstances. The service provider can also analyze the user's past usage history and select the optimal delivery timing. By selecting the optimal delivery timing by referring to past usage history, information can be provided to the user at the most opportune time. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can input past usage history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal delivery timing.
[0048] The information delivery unit can customize the delivery method according to the user's current activity status at the time of delivery. For example, if the user is exercising, the information delivery unit can provide information via voice. If the user is working, the information delivery unit can also provide information via text. If the user is resting, the information delivery unit can also provide information via visuals. In this way, by customizing the delivery method according to the current activity status, information can be delivered in the most optimal way for the user. Some or all of the above processing in the information delivery unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the information delivery unit can input current activity status data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the customization of the delivery method.
[0049] The information delivery unit can select the optimal delivery method at the time of delivery, taking into account the user's device information. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the information delivery unit can provide information according to the characteristics of the device. If the user is using a tablet, the information delivery unit can also provide information optimized for a larger screen. If the user is using a smartwatch, the information delivery unit can also provide concise and highly visible information. In this way, by selecting the optimal delivery method considering device information, information can be delivered in the most optimal way for the user. Some or all of the above processing in the information delivery unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the information delivery unit can input device information data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal delivery method.
[0050] The data delivery unit can optimize the efficiency of data transfer by considering the user's network conditions at the time of delivery. For example, if the user is connected to a high-speed network, the data delivery unit can deliver high-quality data quickly. If the user is connected to a low-speed network, the data delivery unit can also compress the data and deliver it efficiently. The data delivery unit can also monitor the user's network conditions in real time and select the optimal data transfer method. This enables efficient information delivery by optimizing the efficiency of data transfer by considering the network conditions. Some or all of the above processing in the data delivery unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data delivery unit can input network condition data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the optimization of data transfer efficiency.
[0051] The learning unit can optimize the learning algorithm by referring to past learning data during the learning process. For example, the learning unit can analyze past learning data and select the optimal learning algorithm. The learning unit can also adjust the learning algorithm based on patterns obtained from past learning data. The learning unit can also improve the accuracy of the learning algorithm by referring to past learning data. As a result, the accuracy of learning is improved by optimizing the learning algorithm by referring to past learning data. Some or all of the above processes in the learning unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI.

[0055] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0056] The speech recognition unit can analyze background noise from the user's speech and optimize noise cancellation. For example, if the user is in a noisy environment, it can analyze the background noise in real time and apply noise cancellation to clearly recognize the speech. If the user is in a quiet environment, it can also analyze the background noise and adjust the intensity of noise cancellation to recognize natural speech. If the user is moving, it can detect changes in background noise in real time and dynamically adjust noise cancellation. This allows for clear recognition of speech by analyzing background noise and optimizing noise cancellation.
[0057] The speech recognition unit can adjust its recognition algorithm according to the user's speaking speed and rhythm.

If the user speaks slowly, it can analyze the rhythm of the speech and optimize the recognition algorithm for accurate recognition. If the user speaks with an irregular rhythm, it can learn the speech patterns and dynamically adjust the recognition algorithm. In this way, the recognition accuracy is improved by adjusting the recognition algorithm according to the speaking speed and rhythm.
[0058] The speech recognition unit can correct dialects and accents based on the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, it corrects and recognizes the dialect and accent of that region based on the geographical location information. If the user moves to a different region, it can acquire new geographical location information and dynamically correct the dialect and accent. If the user is in an international environment, it can correct and recognize multiple dialects and accents based on the geographical location information. As a result, recognition accuracy is improved by correcting dialects and accents based on geographical location information.
[0059] The speech recognition unit can analyze the user's social media activity and prioritize the recognition of specific terms and phrases. For example, it can analyze and prioritize the recognition of terms and phrases that the user frequently uses on social media. If the user is talking about a specific topic, it can also prioritize the recognition of relevant terms and phrases based on their social media activity. If the user uses new terms or phrases, it can analyze their social media activity in real time and update the recognition algorithm. This improves recognition accuracy by analyzing social media activity and prioritizing the recognition of specific terms and phrases.
[0060] The translation department can select the most appropriate translation by considering the context of the statement. For example, if the user is speaking in a business meeting, it will select formal expressions considering the context. If the user is having a casual conversation, it can also select relaxed expressions considering the context.

As a result, the AI agent system according to this embodiment can translate user statements in real time and support global communication.
[0067] The speech recognition unit recognizes the user's speech. For example, the speech recognition unit collects the user's voice using a microphone and converts it into text data using speech recognition technology. Specifically, the speech recognition unit uses a high-sensitivity microphone to clearly collect the user's voice, and the collected voice data is processed using noise cancellation technology to remove background noise. This allows the speech recognition unit to clearly recognize the content of the speech. Furthermore, the speech recognition unit uses AI to analyze the voice data and accurately recognize the content of the speech. The AI uses deep learning technology to extract features from the voice data and identify phonemes and words. For example, the speech recognition unit can adjust its recognition algorithm according to the speed and rhythm of the user's speech. If the user speaks quickly, the recognition algorithm is accelerated to accommodate this, and conversely, if the user speaks slowly, the algorithm is adjusted to ensure accurate recognition. In addition, the speech recognition unit learns from a variety of voice data in advance so that it can handle differences in the user's pronunciation and accent. This allows the speech recognition unit to accurately recognize the speech of users who speak different languages or dialects. Furthermore, the speech recognition unit can process voice data in real time and convert it into text data without delay. This allows users to communicate smoothly.
[0068] The translation unit translates the speech recognized by the speech recognition unit. The translation unit can also translate text data into other languages using AI. Specifically, the translation unit uses neural machine translation (NMT) technology to translate text data with high accuracy. NMT utilizes deep learning to provide natural translations that consider context and meaning. For example, when translating what a user says in English into Japanese, the translation unit selects appropriate words and phrases according to the context. The translation unit can also learn the user's language usage patterns to improve translation accuracy. By learning frequently used phrases and words and incorporating them into subsequent translations, it provides more natural and accurate translations. Furthermore, the translation unit learns relevant data in advance to handle specialized terminology and industry-specific expressions. This enables it to provide highly accurate translations even in business and technical conversations. The translation unit also performs real-time translations, allowing users to continue communicating smoothly. For example, it can instantly translate user statements during meetings or phone conversations and convey them to the other party. In this way, the translation unit supports smooth communication across language barriers.
[0069] The output unit outputs the audio translated by the translation unit. The output unit can generate audio data using AI and provide it to the user. Specifically, the output unit uses text-to-speech (TTS) technology to convert the translated text data into natural-sounding audio. TTS technology utilizes deep learning to generate audio with natural intonation and intonation. For example, the output unit converts the translated text data into audio data and outputs it through the speaker. The output unit can also optimize the audio quality according to the acoustic characteristics of the user's device. For example, it can adjust the audio quality according to the speaker characteristics of a smartphone to provide clear and easy-to-understand audio. Furthermore, the output unit can adjust the tone and speed of the audio according to the user's preferences. For example, if the user prefers a calm tone, it will adjust and generate the audio accordingly. The output unit also supports multiple languages and can output audio in the language selected by the user.

[0070] The delivery unit provides users with audio translated by the translation unit. The delivery unit can use AI to estimate the user's emotions and adjust the delivery method accordingly. Specifically, the delivery unit estimates emotions from the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and content of speech, and delivers information in an appropriate manner. For example, if the user is nervous, the information will be delivered in a calm manner. The AI analyzes the user's emotions in real time using emotion recognition technology and adjusts the delivery method accordingly. The delivery unit can also select the optimal delivery timing by referring to the user's past usage history. For example, if the user has received information at a specific time in the past, the information will be delivered at that time. Furthermore, the delivery unit can customize the information delivery method according to the user's preferences.

This allows the delivery unit to deliver information to users in the most optimal way and improve user satisfaction.
[0071] The AI agent system further includes a learning unit that learns the user's language usage patterns. The learning unit can use AI to learn the user's language usage patterns and improve translation accuracy. For example, the learning unit learns frequently used phrases and words by the user and incorporates them into future translations.

For example, the service provider can input past usage history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal delivery timing.
[0092] The information delivery unit can customize the delivery method according to the user's current activity status at the time of delivery. For example, if the user is exercising, the information delivery unit can provide information via voice. If the user is working, the information delivery unit can also provide information via text. If the user is resting, the information delivery unit can also provide information via visuals. In this way, by customizing the delivery method according to the current activity status, information can be delivered in the most optimal way for the user. Some or all of the above processing in the information delivery unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the information delivery unit can input current activity status data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the customization of the delivery method.
[0093] The service provider can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of the content offered based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is in an urgent situation, the service provider can use the emotion engine to prioritize important information. If the user is relaxed, the service provider can also use the emotion engine to provide information with normal priority. If the user is agitated, the service provider can use the emotion engine to adjust the priority of information according to its importance. This allows for the priority of important information to be provided by determining the priority of the content offered according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generative AI. The generative AI is, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI.

Some or all of the above processing in the information delivery unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the information delivery unit can input device information data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal delivery method.
[0095] The data delivery unit can optimize the efficiency of data transfer by considering the user's network conditions at the time of delivery.

If the user is stressed, the learning unit can also use the emotion engine to reduce the learning frequency. If the user is excited, the learning unit can also use the emotion engine to increase the learning frequency. This improves learning efficiency by adjusting the learning frequency based on the user's emotions.

[0102] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0103] The speech recognition unit can analyze background noise from the user's speech and optimize noise cancellation. For example, if the user is in a noisy environment, it can analyze the background noise in real time and apply noise cancellation to clearly recognize the speech. If the user is in a quiet environment, it can also analyze the background noise and adjust the intensity of noise cancellation to recognize natural speech. If the user is moving, it can detect changes in background noise in real time and dynamically adjust noise cancellation. This allows for clear recognition of speech by analyzing background noise and optimizing noise cancellation.
[0104] The speech recognition unit can adjust its recognition algorithm according to the user's speaking speed and rhythm. For example, if the user speaks quickly, it can detect the speaking speed in real time and speed up the recognition algorithm accordingly. If the user speaks slowly, it can analyze the rhythm of the speech and optimize the recognition algorithm for accurate recognition. If the user speaks with an irregular rhythm, it can learn the speech patterns and dynamically adjust the recognition algorithm. In this way, the recognition accuracy is improved by adjusting the recognition algorithm according to the speaking speed and rhythm.
[0105] The speech recognition unit can correct dialects and accents based on the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, it corrects and recognizes the dialect and accent of that region based on the geographical location information. If the user moves to a different region, it can acquire new geographical location information and dynamically correct the dialect and accent. If the user is in an international environment, it can correct and recognize multiple dialects and accents based on the geographical location information. As a result, recognition accuracy is improved by correcting dialects and accents based on geographical location information.
[0106] The speech recognition unit can analyze the user's social media activity and prioritize the recognition of specific terms and phrases. For example, it can analyze and prioritize the recognition of terms and phrases that the user frequently uses on social media. If the user is talking about a specific topic, it can also prioritize the recognition of relevant terms and phrases based on their social media activity. If the user uses new terms or phrases, it can analyze their social media activity in real time and update the recognition algorithm. This improves recognition accuracy by analyzing social media activity and prioritizing the recognition of specific terms and phrases.
[0107] The speech recognition unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of speech recognition based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is in an urgent situation, the emotion engine can be used to estimate the user's emotions and prioritize the recognition of their speech. If the user is relaxed, the emotion engine can be used to recognize speech with the normal priority. If the user is agitated, the emotion engine can be used to determine the importance of their speech and adjust the priority accordingly. This allows important speech to be recognized preferentially by determining the priority of speech recognition according to the user's emotions.
[0108] The translation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the translation's expression based on those emotions. For example, if the user is angry, the emotion engine can be used to select an expression that softens the emotion. If the user is sad, the emotion engine can be used to select a gentler expression. If the user is happy, the emotion engine can be used to select a cheerful expression. By adjusting the translation's expression according to the user's emotions, a more appropriate translation can be provided.
[0109] The translation department can select the most appropriate translation by considering the context of the statement. For example, if the user is speaking in a business meeting, it will select formal expressions considering the context. If the user is having a casual conversation, it can also select relaxed expressions considering the context. If the user is talking about a technical topic, it can also appropriately translate technical terms considering the context. This improves the accuracy of the translation by selecting the most appropriate translation based on the context of the statement.
[0110] The translation department can appropriately translate specialized terminology according to the user's field of expertise. For example, if the user is a medical expert, it can appropriately translate medical terminology. If the user is a legal expert, it can appropriately translate legal terminology. If the user is an engineering expert, it can appropriately translate technical terminology. This improves the accuracy of the translation by appropriately translating specialized terminology according to the user's field of expertise.
[0111] The output unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the tone of the output voice based on those emotions. For example, if the user is tense, the emotion engine can be used to output a calm tone of voice. If the user is relaxed, the emotion engine can be used to output a natural tone of voice. If the user is excited, the emotion engine can be used to output a bright tone of voice. By adjusting the tone of the output voice according to the user's emotions, a more appropriate voice can be provided.
[0112] The output unit can optimize audio quality according to the acoustic characteristics of the user's device during output. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the audio quality can be optimized according to the device's speaker characteristics. If the user is using headphones, the audio quality can also be optimized according to the headphones' acoustic characteristics. If the user is using it in a car, the audio quality can also be optimized according to the car's acoustic characteristics. This optimizes audio quality according to the device's acoustic characteristics, resulting in better sound quality.
[0113] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0114] Step 1: The speech recognition unit recognizes the user's speech. For example, the speech recognition unit collects the user's voice using a microphone and converts it into text data using speech recognition technology. The speech recognition unit can analyze the voice data using AI and accurately recognize the content of the speech. For example, the speech recognition unit removes background noise using noise cancellation technology to clearly recognize the content of the speech. The speech recognition unit can also adjust the recognition algorithm according to the speed and rhythm of the user's speech. For example, if the user speaks quickly, the speech recognition unit speeds up the recognition algorithm to accommodate this. Step 2: The translation unit translates the speech recognized by the speech recognition unit. The translation unit can use AI to translate text data into other languages. For example, the translation unit can translate what a user says in English into Japanese. The translation unit can also learn the user's language usage patterns to improve translation accuracy. For example, the translation unit can learn frequently used phrases and words from the user and incorporate them into future translations. Step 3: The output unit outputs the audio translated by the translation unit. The output unit can generate audio data using AI and provide it to the user. For example, the output unit can convert the translated text data into audio data using speech synthesis technology and output it through the speaker. The output unit can also optimize the audio quality according to the acoustic characteristics of the user's device. For example, the output unit can adjust the audio quality according to the speaker characteristics of a smartphone. Step 4: The delivery unit provides the user with the audio translated by the translation unit. The delivery unit can use AI to estimate the user's emotions and adjust the delivery method accordingly. For example, if the user is nervous, the delivery unit will deliver the information in a calm manner. The delivery unit can also refer to the user's past usage history to select the optimal delivery timing. For example, if the delivery unit has received information at a specific time in the past, it will deliver the information at that time.

[0145] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60.

[0151] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0152] 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.

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.
[0156] 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).
[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.

[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.).
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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).

[0166] 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.
[0167] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the speech recognition unit, translation unit, output unit, providing unit, and learning unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the speech recognition unit collects user speech using the microphone 238 of the robot 414 and converts the speech data into text data using the control unit 46A. The translation unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and translates the text data recognized by the speech recognition unit into another language. The output unit outputs the translated speech using, for example, the speaker 240 of the robot 414. The providing unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and estimates the user's emotions and provides information in an appropriate manner. The learning unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and learns the user's language usage patterns to improve translation accuracy. 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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."
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
