[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.

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 learns the user's preferences and lifestyle patterns and automatically optimizes the settings of smart home devices such as lighting, temperature, and music. This AI agent system collects and analyzes user behavior data to understand the user's preferences and lifestyle patterns. Based on the analysis results, it controls devices and provides optimal environmental settings. It also automatically adjusts the home environment according to scenes such as when the user is at home, away from home, or sleeping, and aims to reduce power consumption. For example, when the user goes out, the lights and air conditioner are automatically turned off, and when the user goes to sleep, the temperature is adjusted to a comfortable range. This reduces power consumption and improves the user's quality of life. Furthermore, the AI agent understands the user's preferences using generative AI and controls home devices using IoT technology. For example, if the user instructs, "Dim the living room lights," the AI agent understands the instruction and dims the living room lights. The AI agent also predicts the user's behavior patterns and provides optimal environmental settings. For example, if the user wakes up at 7:00 every morning, the AI agent sets the lights to gradually brighten at 6:50 and music to play at 7:00. This AI agent also contributes to reducing electricity costs and CO2 emissions. For example, it can reduce electricity costs by an average of 10% per month and CO2 emissions by approximately 5% per year. Furthermore, it aims to improve overall life satisfaction by enhancing the user's quality of life. In this way, the AI agent system can optimize the user's living environment and reduce power consumption.
[0029] The AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a control unit, an adjustment unit, and a reduction unit. The data collection unit collects user behavior data. The data collection unit can collect data such as the user's movement history, applications used, and power consumption. The data collection unit collects data from devices such as smartphones and smartwatches. The data collection unit can also collect data using sensors in the home. For example, the data collection unit can obtain the user's movement history from GPS data and data on applications used from a smartphone. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit to understand the user's preferences and lifestyle patterns. The analysis unit analyzes the data using data mining or machine learning algorithms, for example. The analysis unit can analyze the user's food preferences and sleep patterns, for example. The analysis unit extracts patterns from the user's behavior data using data mining techniques and predicts the user's preferences using machine learning algorithms. The control unit controls the device based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The control unit can, for example, turn the device on and off or adjust the temperature. The control unit, for example, turns on the lights and adjusts the air conditioner temperature when the user enters the living room. The control unit can also control devices based on user instructions. For example, if the user instructs, "Dim the living room lights," the control unit understands the instruction and dims the living room lights. The adjustment unit automatically adjusts the home environment according to the scene of being at home, going out, and going to bed. For example, the adjustment unit automatically turns off the lights and air conditioner when the user goes out and adjusts the temperature to a comfortable range when going to bed. The adjustment unit can also predict the user's behavior patterns and provide optimal environmental settings. For example, if the user wakes up at 7:00 every morning, the adjustment unit will set the lights to gradually brighten at 6:50 and play music at 7:00. The reduction unit reduces power consumption. For example, the reduction unit turns off infrequently used devices and uses energy-efficient devices. For example, the reduction unit can reduce electricity bills by an average of 10% per month and CO2 emissions by approximately 5% per year.As a result, the AI agent system according to this embodiment can provide an optimal smart home environment by collecting, analyzing, controlling, adjusting, and reducing user behavior data.
[0030] The data collection unit collects user behavior data. For example, it can collect data such as user movement history, application usage, and power consumption. Specifically, it collects data from devices such as smartphones and smartwatches. It uses the GPS function of smartphones to obtain user movement history and monitor application usage. Smartwatches can collect health data such as heart rate, steps, and exercise levels. It can also collect data using sensors within the home. For example, it can obtain environmental data from temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and illuminance sensors installed in the home. Furthermore, it can collect real-time power consumption data within the home using smart meters. This allows the data collection unit to collect a wide range of data from various devices, enabling a detailed understanding of user behavior and the environment. The collected data is transmitted to a cloud server and securely stored. The frequency and accuracy of data collection can be adjusted according to user settings and system requirements. For example, movement history can be set to be acquired every minute, while power consumption data can be acquired in real time. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes data collected by the data collection unit to understand user preferences and lifestyle patterns. For example, the analysis unit uses data mining and machine learning algorithms to analyze the data. Specifically, it extracts patterns from user behavior data and uses machine learning algorithms to predict user preferences. For instance, it can analyze a user's food preferences and sleep patterns. To analyze food preferences, it collects data such as the applications the user uses, search history, and purchase history, and uses this data to predict user preferences. To analyze sleep patterns, it analyzes heart rate and sleep duration data collected from smartwatches to understand the quality and patterns of the user's sleep. The analysis unit integrates this data to gain a detailed understanding of the user's lifestyle patterns. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize historical data and statistical information to evaluate long-term trends and risks. For example, based on historical data, it can predict user behavior patterns during specific times of day or seasons and formulate future countermeasures. Additionally, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0032] The control unit controls the devices based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the control unit can turn devices on and off and adjust the temperature. Specifically, it can turn on the lights and adjust the air conditioner temperature when the user enters the living room. This includes automatic control based on the user's location information and behavior patterns. For example, when the user enters the living room, the lights automatically turn on and the air conditioner is set to a comfortable temperature. It can also control devices based on user instructions. For example, if the user instructs, "Dim the lights in the living room," the control unit understands the instruction and dims the lights in the living room. The control unit can understand user instructions and perform appropriate control using speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology. Furthermore, the control unit can coordinate and control multiple devices at once. For example, if the user instructs, "I want to watch a movie," it will automatically set up the optimal environment for watching a movie by dimming the lights, turning on the TV, and adjusting the sound system. In this way, the control unit can realize device control that makes the user's life more comfortable and convenient.
[0033] The adjustment unit automatically adjusts the home environment according to the situation, whether the user is at home, out, or sleeping. For example, when the user leaves the house, the adjustment unit automatically turns off the lights and air conditioner, and when the user goes to sleep, it adjusts the temperature to a comfortable range. Specifically, it can predict the user's behavior patterns and provide the optimal environment settings. For example, if the user wakes up at 7:00 every morning, the adjustment unit can be set to gradually brighten the lights at 6:50 and play music at 7:00. This allows the user to wake up naturally. Also, when the user leaves the house, the lights and air conditioner are automatically turned off, preventing energy waste. Furthermore, the adjustment unit can also provide individually customized environment settings based on the user's preferences and past data. For example, if the user prefers a specific temperature or lighting brightness, it will remember these settings and provide a similar environment on subsequent visits. In this way, the adjustment unit can provide an optimal environment tailored to the user's lifestyle and support a comfortable life.
[0034] The reduction unit reduces electricity consumption. For example, it turns off infrequently used devices and uses more energy-efficient devices. Specifically, it monitors the usage of devices in the home and automatically turns off infrequently used devices. For example, it detects lights and appliances that have not been used for a long time and turns them off to reduce electricity consumption. It can also be set to prioritize the use of more energy-efficient devices. For example, it uses energy-efficient LED lighting and replaces old fluorescent lights. Furthermore, the reduction unit can analyze electricity consumption data and suggest optimal usage patterns to reduce electricity bills. For example, it suggests refraining from using devices during certain times to avoid peak electricity usage. In this way, the reduction unit can efficiently manage electricity consumption and reduce electricity bills. In addition, the reduction unit also contributes to reducing CO2 emissions. For example, by reducing electricity consumption, it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 5% per year. In this way, the reduction unit can contribute to environmental protection and support sustainable living.
[0035] The data collection unit can analyze the user's past behavioral data and select the optimal data collection method. The data collection unit can customize the data collection method based on, for example, actions the user has frequently performed in the past. The data collection unit can analyze the user's past behavioral patterns and select the most efficient data collection method. The data collection unit can suggest the optimal data collection method for a specific time period based on the user's past behavioral data. This allows the most efficient data collection method to be selected by analyzing past behavioral data. Some or all of the above processes in the data collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's past behavioral data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal data collection method.
[0036] The data collection unit can filter behavioral data based on the user's current activities and areas of interest. For example, the data collection unit can collect only relevant data based on the user's current activities. For example, the data collection unit can select the data to collect based on the user's areas of interest. For example, the data collection unit can grasp the user's current activities in real time and adjust the data to be collected. This allows the data to be filtered based on the current activities and areas of interest, thereby collecting only relevant data. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's current activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0037] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the user's geographical location when collecting behavioral data. For example, if the user is in a specific location, the data collection unit will prioritize the collection of data related to that location. For example, the data collection unit can select highly relevant data based on the user's current location. For example, the data collection unit can grasp the user's geographical location in real time and adjust the data to be collected. This allows for the priority collection of highly relevant data by considering geographical location.

[0039] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the behavioral data during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can perform a detailed analysis on data with high importance. For example, the analysis unit can perform a simplified analysis on data with low importance. The analysis unit can dynamically adjust the level of detail of the analysis according to the importance of the data. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the behavioral data. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the importance of the behavioral data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the analysis.
[0040] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of behavioral data during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can apply a lighting-specific analysis algorithm to lighting data. For example, the analysis unit can apply a temperature-specific analysis algorithm to temperature data. For example, the analysis unit can apply a music-specific analysis algorithm to music data. By applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category of behavioral data, the accuracy of the analysis is improved. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the categories of behavioral data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of different analysis algorithms.
[0041] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the timing of behavioral data collection during analysis. For example, the analysis unit may prioritize the analysis of the most recent data. For example, the analysis unit may analyze the most recent data while referring to past data. For example, the analysis unit may dynamically adjust the priority of analysis according to the timing of data collection. This allows for the prioritization of analysis of the most recent data by determining the priority of analysis based on the timing of behavioral data collection. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI.

Smartwatches can collect health data such as heart rate, steps, and exercise levels. It can also collect data using sensors within the home. For example, it can obtain environmental data from temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and illuminance sensors installed in the home. Furthermore, it can collect real-time power consumption data within the home using smart meters. This allows the data collection unit to collect a wide range of data from various devices, enabling a detailed understanding of user behavior and the environment.

[0067] The analysis unit analyzes data collected by the data collection unit to understand user preferences and lifestyle patterns. For example, the analysis unit uses data mining and machine learning algorithms to analyze the data. Specifically, it extracts patterns from user behavior data and uses machine learning algorithms to predict user preferences. For instance, it can analyze a user's food preferences and sleep patterns. To analyze food preferences, it collects data such as the applications the user uses, search history, and purchase history, and uses this data to predict user preferences. To analyze sleep patterns, it analyzes heart rate and sleep duration data collected from smartwatches to understand the quality and patterns of the user's sleep.

Additionally, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0068] The control unit controls the devices based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the control unit can turn devices on and off and adjust the temperature. Specifically, it can turn on the lights and adjust the air conditioner temperature when the user enters the living room. This includes automatic control based on the user's location information and behavior patterns. For example, when the user enters the living room, the lights automatically turn on and the air conditioner is set to a comfortable temperature. It can also control devices based on user instructions. For example, if the user instructs, "Dim the lights in the living room," the control unit understands the instruction and dims the lights in the living room. The control unit can understand user instructions and perform appropriate control using speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology. Furthermore, the control unit can coordinate and control multiple devices at once.

For example, when the user leaves the house, the adjustment unit automatically turns off the lights and air conditioner, and when the user goes to sleep, it adjusts the temperature to a comfortable range. Specifically, it can predict the user's behavior patterns and provide the optimal environment settings. For example, if the user wakes up at 7:00 every morning, the adjustment unit can be set to gradually brighten the lights at 6:50 and play music at 7:00. This allows the user to wake up naturally. Also, when the user leaves the house, the lights and air conditioner are automatically turned off, preventing energy waste.

[0141] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0142] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0146] 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.).
[0147] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0148] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.
[0149] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314.

[0150] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, control unit, adjustment unit, and reduction unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12.

The reduction unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and reduces power consumption. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[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.
[0153] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0155] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[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.

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 collection unit, analysis unit, control unit, adjustment unit, and reduction 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 behavior data using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 and transmits the data to the data processing unit 12 via the control unit 46A. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the collected data to understand the user's preferences and lifestyle patterns. The control unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and controls the device based on the analysis results. The adjustment unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and automatically adjusts the home environment according to the scenes of being at home, going out, and sleeping. The reduction unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and reduces power consumption. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[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.
