The adjustment unit adjusts the playlist generated by the generation unit in real time. The adjustment unit adjusts the playlist based on, for example, time of day. The adjustment unit can also adjust the playlist based on, for example, location. The adjustment unit can also adjust the playlist based on, for example, the user's emotional state. Some or all of the above-described processes in the adjustment unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the adjustment unit can input the generated playlist into the AI and have the AI perform real-time adjustments. The provision unit provides the playlist adjusted by the adjustment unit. The provision unit provides the adjusted playlist to the user. The provision unit can also send the adjusted playlist to the user's device.The delivery unit can, for example, save the customized playlist to the user's account. Some or all of the processing described above in the delivery unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the delivery unit can input the customized playlist into the AI and have the AI select the delivery method. In this way, the music recommendation system according to the embodiment can provide a personalized music experience by collecting, analyzing, generating, customizing, and providing user data.
[0030] The data collection unit collects user data. User data includes, but is not limited to, listening history, activity patterns, and emotional states. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's past listening data. Specifically, it collects detailed data such as the title, artist name, playback time, and playback frequency of songs the user has played in the past. This allows the user to understand their musical preferences and tendencies. The data collection unit can also collect, for example, the user's activity patterns. Activity patterns include the time of day, location, and type of device the user uses to listen to music. For example, if a user listens to music on their smartphone while commuting, the unit collects information on the time of day, travel route, and device used. This allows the user to understand their daily rhythm and the situations in which they listen to music. The data collection unit can also collect, for example, the user's emotional state. Emotional state is data that indicates the mood and emotions the user feels when listening to music, and can be collected using biometric data such as heart rate, skin electrochemistry, and facial recognition obtained from smartphone sensors or wearable devices. This enables music recommendations tailored to the user's emotional state. The data collection unit can centrally manage and update this data in real time, enabling it to respond to the latest user status. Furthermore, the data collection unit is required to handle data securely by anonymizing and encrypting it to protect user privacy. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently collect diverse user data and improve the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis department analyzes the data collected by the data collection department. For example, the analysis department analyzes the collected data to identify user preferences. Specifically, it uses machine learning algorithms to extract preferred genres, artists, and song characteristics from the user's listening history and models the user's musical preferences. The analysis department can also analyze the collected data to identify the user's emotional state. To identify emotional states, it uses emotion recognition technology to estimate emotions from the user's biometric and voice data. For example, it can determine whether the user is relaxed or excited from fluctuations in heart rate and tone of voice. The analysis department can also analyze the collected data to identify user activity patterns. To identify activity patterns, it uses time-series data analysis to understand the trends in the time of day and location where the user listens to music. This allows it to identify the situations in which the user most often listens to music. Furthermore, the analysis department comprehensively analyzes this data to understand the user's overall musical preferences and behavioral patterns. For example, if a user tends to prefer a particular genre of music at a particular time of day, it can generate a playlist based on that information. The analysis department can use AI to analyze data, enabling it to identify user preferences and emotional states with high accuracy and speed. This allows the analysis department to build a foundation for providing users with the optimal music experience.
[0032] The generation unit generates playlists based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates playlists based on user preferences, for example. Specifically, it combines songs from genres and artists that the user likes to create an appealing playlist for the user. The generation unit can also generate playlists based on the user's emotional state, for example. To generate playlists according to emotional state, emotion recognition technology is used to select songs that match the user's current mood. For example, calm songs are selected when the user wants to relax, and upbeat songs are selected when the user wants to feel energized. The generation unit can also generate playlists based on the user's activity patterns, for example. To generate playlists according to activity patterns, songs are selected that match the situation in which the user listens to music. For example, energetic songs are selected during commutes, and calming songs are selected during relaxation time. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input user preference data into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform playlist generation. The generation AI selects songs best suited to the user's preferences and emotional state from a vast music database and automatically generates a playlist. This allows the generation unit to provide users with personalized playlists.
[0033] The adjustment unit adjusts the playlist generated by the generation unit in real time. For example, the adjustment unit adjusts the playlist based on the time of day. Specifically, it selects songs suitable for waking up in the morning and songs that promote relaxation in the evening. The adjustment unit can also adjust the playlist based on location. To adjust the playlist based on location, it uses the user's current location information to select songs suitable for specific locations, such as during a commute or while training at the gym. The adjustment unit can also adjust the playlist based on the user's emotional state. To adjust the playlist based on emotional state, it selects songs that match the user's current mood based on the user's emotional data acquired in real time. Some or all of the above processes in the adjustment unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the adjustment unit can input the generated playlist into the AI and have the AI perform real-time adjustments. The AI analyzes the user's latest data and dynamically changes the contents of the playlist. This allows the adjustment unit to provide the optimal music experience according to the user's situation and mood.

[0107] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0108] The data collection unit collects sensor data from the user's device, allowing for a more detailed understanding of the user's activity level. For example, it can collect heart rate data from a smartwatch to determine if the user is exercising. It can also use the accelerometer sensor of a smartphone to determine whether the user is walking or sitting. Furthermore, it can use GPS data to identify the user's location and provide music appropriate for that location. This enables more accurate music recommendations based on the user's activity level.
[0109] The analytics department can analyze users' social media posts to estimate their current emotional state. For example, it can analyze text and images posted on social media to identify positive and negative emotions. It can also estimate the emotions associated with specific hashtags if the user uses them. Furthermore, it can analyze the content of accounts users follow and groups they participate in to understand their interests. This enables more personalized music recommendations based on the user's emotional state.
[0110] The generation unit can improve the playlist generation method by utilizing the user's past playlist rating data. For example, it can analyze the characteristics of playlists that the user has previously given high ratings to and generate new playlists with those characteristics. It can also provide playlists that match the user's preferences by avoiding the characteristics of playlists that the user has given low ratings to. Furthermore, by continuously training the playlist generation algorithm using user rating data, it becomes possible to generate playlists with higher accuracy.
[0111] The adjustment unit can dynamically adjust the playlist content using the user's real-time biometric data. For example, if the user's heart rate increases, energetic songs can be added. Similarly, if the user's skin temperature rises, relaxing songs can be added. Furthermore, if the user's respiratory rate increases, calming songs can be added to promote relaxation. This allows for a more appropriate music experience based on the user's biometric data.
[0112] The service provider can adjust how playlists are delivered, taking into account the battery level of the user's device. For example, if the battery level is low, it can provide music at a lower bitrate to reduce data usage. If the battery level is insufficient, the playlist can also be downloaded for offline playback. Furthermore, if the battery level is sufficient, high-quality music can be provided to enhance the user's music experience. This enables optimal music delivery tailored to the user's device status.
[0113] The data collection unit can analyze user voice commands and collect data in accordance with user requests. For example, if a user enters the voice command "I want to relax," it can collect music with relaxing effects. If a user requests "I want to listen to new songs," it can prioritize collecting newly released songs. Furthermore, if a user requests "I want to listen to music while exercising," it can collect energetic music, providing a music experience tailored to the user's request.
[0114] The analysis unit can analyze a user's past music playback patterns and detect changes in their musical preferences. For example, if a user shifts from a genre they frequently listened to in the past to a different genre, the unit can detect this change and prioritize recommending music from the new genre. Furthermore, if a user starts listening to a particular artist frequently, the unit can recommend music related to that artist. In addition, by continuously monitoring changes in the user's playback patterns, the unit can quickly respond to changes in the user's musical preferences.
[0115] The generation unit can optimize the order of songs in a playlist based on the user's musical preferences. For example, if a user likes a particular song, that song can be placed at the beginning of the playlist. Similarly, if a user likes a particular artist, songs by that artist can be placed consecutively. Furthermore, by analyzing the user's playback history and adjusting the playlist order based on the tempo and key of songs the user prefers, a smoother music experience can be provided.
[0116] The adjustment unit can adjust the playlist content considering the user's device connection status. For example, if the user is connected to Wi-Fi, high-quality music can be provided. If the user is using mobile data, music with a lower bitrate can be provided to reduce data usage. Furthermore, if the user is offline, pre-downloaded music can be provided to ensure an uninterrupted music experience. This enables optimal music delivery according to the user's connection status.
[0117] The playback system can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of playlist delivery based on those estimates. For example, if a user is feeling stressed, it can immediately provide relaxing music. If the user is relaxed, it can also adjust the timing of new music delivery. Furthermore, if the user is excited, it can adjust the timing of energetic music delivery, providing an optimal musical experience tailored to the user's emotions. This enables more appropriate music delivery based on the user's feelings.

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.
[0134] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI.

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.

[0156] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.

[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.

[0168] 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.).
[0169] 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.
[0170] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data).

Also, 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, adjustment unit, and provision unit, is implemented, for example, in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects user data using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the collected data. The generation unit is implemented, for example, in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and generates a playlist based on the analysis results. The adjustment unit is implemented, for example, in the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and adjusts the generated playlist in real time. The provision unit is implemented, for example, in the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and provides the adjusted playlist to the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0173] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting as an emotion engine, may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0174] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.
[0175] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.
[0176] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.
[0177] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0178] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0179] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.
[0180] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.
[0181] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.
[0182] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0183] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.
[0184] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[0185] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.
[0186] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.
[0187] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.
[0188] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined.
