[0028] (Example of form 1) The driving data analysis system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses generative AI to analyze driving data and provides customized feedback based on individual driving patterns. This driving data analysis system allows drivers to receive tips for safe driving and improve their driving skills and fuel efficiency. For example, the driving data analysis system collects driving data. Driving data includes speed, acceleration, frequency of brake use, steering wheel operation, etc. This data is obtained from sensors and GPS installed in the vehicle. Next, the driving data analysis system uses generative AI to analyze the collected driving data. The generative AI analyzes the driving data in detail and identifies the driver's driving patterns. For example, it analyzes the frequency of sudden braking and the tendency for sudden acceleration. Based on the analysis results, the driving data analysis system uses generative AI to generate feedback that is optimal for each individual driver. The feedback includes tips for safe driving and advice on improving fuel efficiency. For example, specific advice such as "reducing sudden braking will improve fuel efficiency" or "maintaining a constant speed will result in safer driving" is provided. Furthermore, the driving data analysis system uses generative AI to provide real-time support while driving. If the driver brakes suddenly while driving, the generative AI immediately provides feedback that can be used to improve future driving. This system allows drivers to objectively evaluate and improve their driving style. Furthermore, receiving tips for safe driving is expected to reduce accident rates. In addition, efficient driving instruction will lead to improved fuel efficiency. Thus, by utilizing AI-generated driving data analysis and providing customized feedback, drivers' safe driving and driving skills will be improved. This allows the driving data analysis system to objectively evaluate and improve drivers' driving style. Furthermore, receiving tips for safe driving is expected to reduce accident rates. In addition, efficient driving instruction will lead to improved fuel efficiency.
[0029] The driving data analysis system according to the embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a support unit. The collection unit collects driving data. Driving data includes, but is not limited to, speed, frequency of brake use, and acceleration. The collection unit acquires driving data from, for example, sensors or GPS mounted on the vehicle. Sensors include, for example, acceleration sensors, gyro sensors, and temperature sensors. GPS acquires driving data considering the frequency and accuracy range of location information updates. The analysis unit analyzes the driving data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes, for example, the frequency of sudden braking and the tendency of sudden acceleration. Specific definitions and criteria for sudden braking include deceleration thresholds and brake pedal operation times. Specific definitions and criteria for sudden acceleration include acceleration thresholds and accelerator pedal operation times. The generation unit generates feedback based on the driving data analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates, for example, hints for safe driving and advice for improving fuel efficiency. Hints for safe driving include, for example, adhering to speed limits and maintaining a safe following distance. Advice for improving fuel efficiency includes, for example, recommendations for eco-driving and the use of idle stop. The support unit provides feedback generated by the generation unit in real time. The support unit provides immediate feedback, for example, when sudden braking occurs while driving. Specific definitions and criteria for real time include the acceptable delay time before feedback is provided and the update frequency. This enables the driving data analysis system according to the embodiment to collect, analyze, generate, and provide driving data in real time.
[0030] The data collection unit collects driving data. This driving data includes, but is not limited to, speed, brake usage frequency, and acceleration. The data collection unit acquires driving data from, for example, sensors and GPS mounted on the vehicle. Sensors include, for example, acceleration sensors, gyroscopes, and temperature sensors. These sensors are placed in various parts of the vehicle and collect various data in real time during driving. The acceleration sensor measures the degree of acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle and identifies situations of sudden acceleration and deceleration. The gyroscope detects the rotation and tilt of the vehicle and records the driving conditions of sudden changes of direction and curves. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the engine and brakes and detects abnormal temperature increases. GPS acquires driving data considering the frequency and accuracy range of location information updates. GPS records the vehicle's current position and travel path with high accuracy and is also used to measure speed and distance traveled. This allows the data collection unit to understand the vehicle's driving conditions in detail and manage driving data centrally. Furthermore, the data collection unit can transmit this data to a cloud server and link with other systems and departments. For example, the collected data can be made accessible to the analysis and generation units, enabling real-time data sharing. Furthermore, the data collection unit can adjust the frequency and accuracy of data collection, allowing for flexible responses to specific situations and conditions. This enables the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the driving data collected by the data collection unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the frequency of sudden braking and the tendency of sudden acceleration. Specific definitions and criteria for sudden braking include deceleration thresholds and brake pedal operation times. Specific definitions and criteria for sudden acceleration include acceleration thresholds and accelerator pedal operation times. Based on these criteria, the analysis unit analyzes the driving data in detail and identifies patterns of driving behavior. For example, if sudden braking is frequent, it can be determined that the driver may not be maintaining an appropriate distance from the vehicle in front. Similarly, if a tendency for sudden acceleration is observed, it can be determined that the driver may be wasting fuel. Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit evaluates the driver's driving style and risk factors. Furthermore, the analysis unit uses AI to process the data in real time and detect and predict anomalies in driving behavior. For example, the AI learns from past driving data and detects behavior that deviates from normal driving patterns. The AI can also analyze trends in driving data and predict future risks. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze driving data and provide information to improve driver safety and efficiency. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize historical data and statistical information to analyze long-term driving behavior trends and assess risks. As a result, the analysis unit can not only grasp the situation in real time but also handle long-term driving management and risk assessment, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0032] The generation unit generates feedback based on driving data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit generates tips for safe driving and advice for improving fuel efficiency. Tips for safe driving include, for example, adhering to speed limits and maintaining a safe following distance. Advice for improving fuel efficiency includes, for example, recommending eco-driving and utilizing idle stop. The generation unit customizes this feedback according to the driver's driving style and circumstances. For example, drivers who frequently brake suddenly will be given specific advice on how to use the brakes and maintain a safe following distance. Drivers who tend to accelerate suddenly will be given advice on how to accelerate smoothly and practice eco-driving. The generation unit uses AI to analyze driving data and identify driver behavior patterns and risk factors. This allows the generation unit to provide optimal feedback to drivers and support safe driving and improved fuel efficiency. Furthermore, the generation unit supports long-term improvement of driving behavior and risk management based on trends and historical data of driving data. For example, it monitors changes in the driver's driving style and the degree of improvement, and provides continuous feedback. Furthermore, the generation unit can collect driver feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the feedback. This allows the generation unit to provide effective feedback to drivers, promoting safer driving and improved fuel efficiency.
[0033] The support unit provides feedback generated by the generation unit in real time. For example, the support unit provides immediate feedback if the driver applies the brakes suddenly while driving. The specific definition and criteria of real time include the acceptable delay time before feedback is provided and the update frequency. The support unit monitors the driver's driving situation in real time and provides appropriate feedback at the necessary time. For example, immediately after applying the brakes suddenly, it provides advice on how to use the brakes and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. Also, if it detects sudden acceleration, it provides advice on how to accelerate smoothly and practice eco-driving. The support unit notifies the driver of this feedback on their device and alerts them through voice guidance and vibration notifications. This allows the driver to receive feedback in real time and immediately improve their driving behavior. Furthermore, the support unit can monitor the driver's reactions to the feedback and changes in their behavior, and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the feedback. For example, if the driver improves their driving behavior in accordance with the feedback, the support unit evaluates the effect and provides further advice. The support unit can also reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, important information can be reliably delivered not only through smartphone notifications, but also through voice calls, SMS, and email. This allows the support department to provide drivers with quick and reliable feedback, supporting safe driving and improved fuel efficiency.
[0034] The data collection unit can acquire driving data from sensors and GPS mounted on the vehicle. For example, the data collection unit can acquire acceleration data during driving using an acceleration sensor mounted on the vehicle. The data collection unit can also acquire tilt and rotation data of the vehicle during driving using a gyro sensor mounted on the vehicle. Furthermore, the data collection unit can acquire temperature data inside and outside the vehicle during driving using a temperature sensor mounted on the vehicle. This enables accurate data collection by acquiring driving data from sensors and GPS mounted on the vehicle. 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 data acquired from sensors mounted on the vehicle into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform data analysis.
[0035] The analysis unit can analyze the frequency of sudden braking and the tendency of sudden acceleration. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the frequency of sudden braking from driving data. Specific definitions and criteria for sudden braking include deceleration thresholds and brake pedal operation times. The analysis unit can also analyze the tendency of sudden acceleration from driving data. Specific definitions and criteria for sudden acceleration include acceleration thresholds and accelerator pedal operation times. Furthermore, the analysis unit can combine data on sudden braking and sudden acceleration to comprehensively analyze the driver's driving pattern. This makes it possible to identify driving patterns by analyzing the frequency of sudden braking and the tendency of sudden acceleration. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input driving data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the analysis of the frequency of sudden braking and the tendency of sudden acceleration.

The visual indicator may include, for example, the illumination of a warning light or the display of a message on the screen. Furthermore, the support unit can also provide feedback using a text message when sudden braking occurs while driving. The text message may include specific advice such as, "Reducing sudden braking will improve fuel efficiency." This enables real-time driving support by providing immediate feedback when sudden braking occurs while driving. Some or all of the above processing in the support unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the support unit can input sudden braking data into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate the feedback.
[0038] The data collection unit can analyze past driving data and select the optimal data collection method. For example, the data collection unit can analyze driving patterns in a specific time period from past driving data and select the optimal data collection method for that time period. For example, the data collection unit can also analyze driving patterns in specific road conditions from past driving data and select the optimal data collection method for those conditions. Furthermore, the data collection unit can analyze driving patterns in specific weather conditions from past driving data and select the optimal data collection method for those conditions. By analyzing past driving data and selecting the optimal data collection method, efficient data collection becomes possible. 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 past driving data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal data collection method.
[0039] The data collection unit can filter the collected driving data based on the driver's current driving status and road conditions. For example, if the driver is driving on a highway, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting speed and acceleration data. For example, if the driver is driving in an urban area, the data collection unit can also prioritize collecting brake usage frequency and steering operation data. Furthermore, if the driver is driving in bad weather, the data collection unit can also prioritize collecting visibility and road surface condition data. This allows for efficient collection of necessary data by filtering based on the driver's current driving status and road conditions. 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 driving status and road condition data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0040] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the driver's geographical location information when collecting driving data. For example, if a driver frequently drives in a particular area, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of driving data for that area. For example, if a driver frequently uses a particular route, the data collection unit can also prioritize the collection of driving data for that route. Furthermore, if a driver drives in a particular area during a particular time period, the data collection unit can also prioritize the collection of driving data for that time period. This enables efficient data collection by prioritizing the collection of highly relevant data by considering the driver's geographical location information. 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 geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the priority collection of highly relevant data.

For example, the support unit can input driver emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI adjust how real-time feedback is provided.
[0091] The support unit can provide optimal feedback by referring to the driver's past driving history when providing real-time feedback. For example, if the driver has frequently used sudden braking in the past, the support unit can provide feedback to reduce sudden braking. For example, if the driver has frequently used sudden acceleration in the past, the support unit can also provide feedback to reduce sudden acceleration. Furthermore, if the driver has had difficulty maintaining a constant speed in the past, the support unit can provide feedback to maintain a constant speed. This enables more effective driving support by providing optimal feedback by referring to the driver's past driving history. Some or all of the above processing in the support unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the support unit can input past driving history into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task of providing optimal feedback.
[0092] The support unit can customize the content of real-time feedback based on the driver's current driving situation. For example, if the driver is driving on a highway, the support unit can provide tips for safe driving on highways. For example, if the driver is driving in an urban area, the support unit can also provide tips for safe driving in urban areas. Furthermore, if the driver is driving in bad weather, the support unit can provide points to be aware of when driving in bad weather. This allows for more appropriate driving support by customizing the content of feedback based on the driver's current driving situation. Some or all of the above processing in the support unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the support unit can input data on the current driving situation into a generating AI and have the generating AI customize the content of the feedback.
[0093] The support unit can estimate the driver's emotions and prioritize real-time feedback based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the driver is stressed, the support unit will prioritize important feedback. For example, if the driver is relaxed, the support unit may also provide detailed feedback. Furthermore, if the driver is in a hurry, the support unit may prioritize concise and important feedback. This ensures that important feedback is prioritized by prioritizing real-time feedback based on the driver's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI may be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the support unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the support unit can input driver emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI determine the priority of real-time feedback.
[0094] The support unit can provide optimal feedback by considering the driver's geographical location when providing real-time feedback. For example, if the driver is driving in a specific area, the support unit can provide feedback regarding driving in that area. For example, if the driver is driving on a specific route, the support unit can also provide feedback regarding that route. Furthermore, if the driver is driving in a specific area at a specific time of day, the support unit can also provide feedback regarding driving during that time period. This enables more appropriate driving support by providing optimal feedback while considering the driver's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the support unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the support unit can input geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task of providing optimal feedback.
[0095] The support unit can analyze the driver's social media activity and adjust the content of the feedback when providing real-time feedback. For example, the support unit can provide relevant feedback based on the driver's driving experiences shared on social media. The support unit can also provide relevant feedback by referring to the driving data of other drivers that the driver follows on social media. Furthermore, the support unit can provide feedback on a driving route based on the driving route shared by the driver on social media. This enables more multifaceted driving support by analyzing the driver's social media activity and adjusting the content of the feedback. Some or all of the above processing in the support unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the support unit can input social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI adjust the content of the feedback.

For example, if the driver is driving on a highway, the mirror angle can be adjusted to a wide angle. If the driver is driving in an urban area, the mirror angle can be adjusted to a narrow angle. Furthermore, when the driver is parking, the mirror angle can be adjusted to a position suitable for parking. This allows for adjustment of the mirror angle according to the driver's driving style and road conditions, improving safety.
[0106] The driving data analysis system can automatically adjust the wiper operation while driving based on the driver's driving style. For example, if the driver is driving on a highway, the wiper speed can be increased. If the driver is driving in an urban area, the wiper speed can be decreased. Furthermore, if the driver is driving in adverse weather conditions, the wiper operation can be appropriately adjusted. This allows for adjustment of wiper operation according to the driver's driving style and road conditions, improving safety.

[0146] 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.
[0147] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0148] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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).
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.).
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and support unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit acquires driving data using the robot 414's sensors and GPS. The analysis unit analyzes the driving data using, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The generation unit generates feedback using, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The support unit provides real-time feedback using, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414. 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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."
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.

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.
