The data analysis department can analyze users' listening history using machine learning algorithms. For example, if a user frequently listens to songs of a particular genre, it will be determined that the user likes that genre. Similarly, if a user repeatedly listens to songs by a particular artist, it will be determined that the user likes that artist. Furthermore, the data analysis department uses clustering technology to cluster the user's listening history and identify the user's preferences. By using clustering technology, the user's listening history can be divided into multiple groups, and common features can be extracted from each group. For example, if a user frequently listens to rock and pop songs, it will be determined that the user likes these genres. Based on these analysis results, the data analysis department can gain a detailed understanding of the user's musical preferences. In addition, the data analysis department can analyze not only the user's listening history but also data such as user ratings and playlist creation history. This allows for a more accurate identification of the user's musical preferences.

[0031] The recommendation unit recommends new songs based on the results of analysis by the data analysis unit. Specifically, it recommends songs from genres and artists that the user has not listened to before. The recommendation unit can recommend new songs that match the user's preferences using collaborative filtering technology. Collaborative filtering technology is a method of recommending songs that a user is likely to like based on the listening history of other users. For example, if user B has listened to the same songs as user A, the recommendation unit will recommend songs that user B has not yet listened to. The recommendation unit can also recommend new songs that match the user's preferences using content-based filtering technology. Content-based filtering technology is a method of recommending songs that a user is likely to like based on the user's listening history. For example, if a user likes songs from a particular genre or artist, the recommendation unit will recommend new songs related to that genre or artist. Furthermore, the recommendation unit can recommend new songs by considering not only the user's listening history but also data such as the user's ratings and playlist creation history. This allows the recommendation unit to recommend new songs that match the user's preferences with high accuracy.

[0032] The update unit updates the songs recommended by the recommendation unit in real time. Specifically, after a user listens to a new song, it updates the recommendation list based on the information of that song. The update unit can analyze streaming data in real time and update the recommendation list based on the user's latest preferences. For example, when a user listens to a new song, it analyzes the genre and artist information of that song and adds new songs that match the user's preferences to the recommendation list. The update unit can also update the recommendation list based on user feedback. For example, it updates the recommendation list based on the ratings the user gives to recommended songs. It adds songs related to songs that the user has given a high rating to the recommendation list and removes songs related to songs that the user has given a low rating to the recommendation list. This allows the update unit to update the recommendation list in real time based on the user's latest preferences and provide the user with the best possible music experience. Furthermore, the update unit can analyze the user's listening history and rating history over the long term and understand changes in the user's musical preferences.

For example, if the user is relaxed, the effectiveness measurement unit can perform a detailed effectiveness measurement. If the user is in a hurry, the effectiveness measurement unit can perform a concise effectiveness measurement. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the effectiveness measurement unit can perform an energetic effectiveness measurement. For example, the effectiveness measurement unit estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the effectiveness measurement method based on the estimated emotions. This allows the effectiveness measurement unit to perform more appropriate effectiveness measurements by adjusting the effectiveness measurement method based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0101] The user interface unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the interface display method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user interface unit is tense, it can provide an interface with calm colors. If the user interface unit is enjoying itself, it can provide an interface with bright colors. Furthermore, if the user interface unit is tired, it can provide a simple and highly visible interface. For example, the user interface unit estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the interface display method based on the estimated emotions. This allows the user interface unit to provide a more appropriate interface by adjusting the interface display method based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0102] The data analysis department can consider users' social media activity when deeply analyzing their listening history and preferences. For example, the data analysis department collects and uses information on songs and artists that users have shared on social media. This allows the data analysis department to understand the trends in songs and artists that users want to share with others. The data analysis department can also analyze information on artists and music-related accounts that users follow on social media to help identify preferences. Furthermore, the data analysis department can analyze preference trends based on information on songs and artists that users have "liked" on social media. As a result, the data analysis department can provide more accurate music recommendations by considering users' social media activity.

[0103] The recommendation system can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way recommendations are presented based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the recommendation system will make recommendations using calm language. If the user is excited, the recommendation system can make recommendations using energetic language. Furthermore, if the user is sad, the recommendation system can make recommendations using encouraging language. For example, the recommendation system estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the way recommendations are presented based on those emotions. This allows the recommendation system to make more appropriate recommendations by adjusting the way recommendations are presented based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, with an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0104] The update function can consider the user's geographical location when updating recommendations based on the user's latest preferences. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the update function can prioritize recommending songs popular in that region. If the user is traveling, the update function can prioritize recommending songs popular in the destination region. Furthermore, if the user is at home, the update function can prioritize recommending songs that are frequently listened to at home. This allows the update function to provide more appropriate recommendations by considering the user's geographical location.

[0105] The data analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the analysis method of the listening history based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the data analysis unit can prioritize analyzing relaxing songs. If the user is excited, the data analysis unit can prioritize analyzing energetic songs. Also, if the user is sad, the data analysis unit can prioritize analyzing mood-enhancing songs. For example, the data analysis unit estimates the user's emotions and determines the priority of songs to analyze based on the estimated emotions. This allows the data analysis unit to perform more appropriate analysis by adjusting the analysis method based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0106] The data analysis unit can analyze a user's past listening history and select the optimal analysis algorithm, taking into account the user's lifestyle. For example, if the user is exercising, the data analysis unit will prioritize analyzing songs with a tempo suitable for exercise. If the user is working, the data analysis unit can prioritize analyzing songs that enhance concentration. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the data analysis unit can prioritize analyzing songs that promote relaxation. In this way, the data analysis unit can perform more appropriate analysis by considering the user's lifestyle.

[0107] The update unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of updates based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the update unit will update at a slow pace. If the user is in a hurry, the update unit can update quickly. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the update unit can update frequently. For example, the update unit estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the timing of updates based on those emotions. This allows the update unit to provide more appropriate updates by adjusting the timing of updates based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0108] The data analysis unit can filter listening history based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest. For example, if the user is exercising, the data analysis unit will prioritize analyzing songs with a tempo suitable for exercise. If the user is working, the data analysis unit can prioritize analyzing songs that enhance concentration. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the data analysis unit can prioritize analyzing songs that promote relaxation. In this way, the data analysis unit can perform more appropriate analysis by filtering based on the user's lifestyle and areas of interest.

[0109] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0110] Step 1: The data analysis department analyzes the user's listening history and preferences. For example, it identifies the user's preferences based on the genre, artist, and number of plays of songs the user has listened to in the past. The data analysis department uses machine learning algorithms and clustering techniques to analyze the user's listening history and identify preferences. Step 2: The recommendation team recommends new songs based on the results analyzed by the data analysis team. For example, it might recommend songs from genres or artists the user has never listened to before. The recommendation team uses collaborative filtering and content-based filtering technologies to recommend new songs that match the user's preferences. Step 3: The update unit updates the songs recommended by the recommendation unit in real time. For example, after a user listens to a new song, the recommendation list is updated based on the information about that song. The update unit analyzes streaming data in real time and updates the recommendation list based on the user's latest preferences. It can also update the recommendation list based on user feedback.

[0111] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.).

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data analysis unit, recommendation unit, update unit, effectiveness measurement unit, and user interface unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data analysis unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The recommendation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The update unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The effectiveness measurement unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The user interface unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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."

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

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.
