In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) An AI agent according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that recommends fashion items made from sustainable materials and production methods based on the user's preferences and past purchase history. This system uses a machine learning model to analyze the user's preferences. This model learns from the user's past purchase history and feedback to understand the user's preferences. Next, it recommends the most suitable sustainable fashion items to the user using a database of environmentally friendly products. This database contains products made from sustainable materials and production methods. Furthermore, it improves the accuracy of recommendations using a self-evolving algorithm that learns from user feedback. This allows users to easily find environmentally friendly products and promotes transformation in the fashion industry by providing sustainable options. The AI ​​agent also improves transparency between users and brands and sets new trends in sustainable fashion. The target audience is environmentally conscious young people aged 18 to 40 who are fashion-conscious and seek a sustainable lifestyle. This AI agent is expected to contribute to the expansion of the sustainable fashion market and raise awareness of reducing environmental impact. For example, the AI ​​agent collects the user's past purchase history and feedback and analyzes the user's preferences based on this. Next, the system recommends the most suitable fashion items from a database of environmentally friendly products. Furthermore, it learns from user feedback to improve the accuracy of its recommendations. This makes it easy for users to find environmentally friendly products. As a result, the AI ​​agent can recommend sustainable fashion items based on the user's preferences and past purchase history.

[0029] The AI ​​agent according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a recommendation unit, and an evolution unit.

The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit to understand the user's preferences. For example, the analysis unit can use data mining techniques to analyze the user's purchase history and feedback and identify the user's preferences. The analysis unit can also use statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms to predict the user's preferences. For example, the analysis unit can extract the characteristics of fashion items that the user likes based on the user's past purchase history. The recommendation unit recommends sustainable fashion items based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the recommendation unit can refer to a database of environmentally friendly products and select fashion items that match the user's preferences. The recommendation unit can also use recommendation algorithms to recommend the most suitable fashion items for the user. For example, the recommendation unit can recommend eco-friendly materials and recyclable products by considering the user's preferences and past purchase history. The evolution unit learns from user feedback on items recommended by the recommendation unit and improves the accuracy of recommendations. The evolution unit can, for example, collect ratings and comments made by users on recommended items and use this to improve the recommendation algorithm. Furthermore, the evolution unit can use a self-evolving algorithm to learn from user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy of recommendations. For example, the evolution unit can analyze user feedback and adjust the parameters of the recommendation algorithm to make more accurate recommendations. As a result, the AI ​​agent according to the embodiment can recommend sustainable fashion items based on the user's preferences and past purchase history.

[0030] The data collection department collects users' past purchase history and feedback. Specifically, it can collect information such as products a user has purchased in the past, the date and time of purchase, and the purchase amount. This makes it possible to understand the patterns of users' purchasing behavior in detail. For example, if a user frequently purchases products from a particular brand or category, the data collection department can record this trend and use it for later analysis. The data collection department can also collect feedback provided by users. For example, it can collect evaluation scores, text comments, and survey results that users have made about products. This allows for an understanding of user satisfaction and dissatisfaction, providing foundational data for making better recommendations. Furthermore, the data collection department can also collect users' online behavior data. For example, by collecting product pages viewed on websites, products added to carts, and search history, it is possible to understand users' interests and preferences in more detail. This allows for the accumulation of data to predict users' potential needs and make more appropriate recommendations. The data collection department centrally manages this data and can collaborate with other departments as needed. For example, the collected data can be stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis and recommendation departments. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.

[0031] The analytics department analyzes data collected by the data collection department to understand user preferences. Specifically, it can use data mining techniques to analyze users' purchase history and feedback to identify user preferences. For example, it can analyze the characteristics and rating scores of products that users have purchased in the past to extract trends in fashion items that users prefer. The analytics department can also predict user preferences using statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. For example, it can extract the characteristics of fashion items that users prefer based on their past purchase history and use this to predict future purchase trends. Furthermore, the analytics department can analyze user feedback to understand user satisfaction and dissatisfaction. For example, it can analyze the rating scores and text comments that users have made about products to identify what aspects users are satisfied or dissatisfied with. This allows the analytics department to understand user preferences and needs in more detail and obtain foundational data for making more appropriate recommendations. In addition, the analytics department can utilize historical data and statistical information to analyze long-term trends and patterns. For example, it can predict purchasing trends in specific seasons or events based on past purchase data and formulate future marketing strategies. This allows the analysis department 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 security of the entire system.

[0032] The recommendation department recommends sustainable fashion items based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis department. Specifically, it can refer to a database of environmentally friendly products and select fashion items that match the user's preferences. For example, by utilizing a database that includes eco-friendly materials and recyclable products, it can recommend the most suitable fashion items considering the user's preferences and past purchase history. The recommendation department can also recommend the most suitable fashion items to the user using recommendation algorithms. For example, it can use algorithms such as collaborative filtering and content-based filtering to recommend the most suitable fashion items based on the user's preferences and past purchase history. Furthermore, the recommendation department can improve the recommendation algorithm based on user feedback to enhance the accuracy of recommendations. For example, by collecting evaluations and comments made by users on recommended items and adjusting the parameters of the recommendation algorithm based on this, more accurate recommendations can be made. In this way, the recommendation department can recommend the most suitable fashion items that meet the user's preferences and needs, thereby improving user satisfaction. In addition, the recommendation department can continuously revise recommendation results based on real-time updated data to respond to the latest situation. For example, if new products are added or user preferences change, the recommendation department can immediately incorporate the new data and update the recommendation results. This allows the recommendation department to provide highly accurate recommendations based on the latest information at all times, and to support quick and appropriate responses.

[0033] The evolutionary unit learns from user feedback on items recommended by the recommendation unit to improve the accuracy of recommendations. Specifically, it can collect ratings and comments made by users on recommended items and use this to improve the recommendation algorithm. For example, if a user gives a high rating to a recommended item, the unit can analyze the characteristics of that item and increase the probability of recommending other items with similar characteristics. The evolutionary unit can also use a self-evolving algorithm to learn from user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy of recommendations. For example, by analyzing user feedback and adjusting the parameters of the recommendation algorithm, the evolutionary unit can make more accurate recommendations. This allows the evolutionary unit to recommend the most suitable fashion items according to the user's preferences and needs, thereby improving user satisfaction. Furthermore, based on user feedback, the evolutionary unit can identify areas for improvement in the recommendation algorithm and continuously evolve the algorithm. For example, if a user gives a low rating to a particular item, the unit can analyze the characteristics of that item and decrease the probability of recommending other items with similar characteristics. This allows the evolutionary unit to provide highly accurate recommendations based on user feedback and improve user satisfaction. Furthermore, the evolutionary component can continuously improve its recommendation algorithms based on real-time updated data, enabling it to adapt to the latest situations. For example, if new products are added or user preferences change, the evolutionary component can immediately incorporate the new data and update the recommendation algorithm. This allows the evolutionary component to always provide highly accurate recommendations based on the latest information, supporting quick and appropriate responses.

[0034] The data collection unit can analyze a user's past purchase history and select the optimal data collection method. For example, the data collection unit can identify the times of day when a user frequently makes purchases and collect data during those times. Furthermore, if a user tends to make purchases from a particular device, the data collection unit can prioritize data collection from that device. Additionally, if a user tends to purchase products from a particular category, the data collection unit can focus on collecting data from that category.

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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, recommendation unit, and evolution unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and collects the user's past purchase history and feedback. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected data to understand the user's preferences. The recommendation unit is implemented by the identification unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and recommends the most suitable fashion items to the user by referring to a database of environmentally friendly products. The evolution unit is implemented by the identification unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and learns from user feedback to improve the accuracy of recommendations. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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."

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.
