[0028] (Example of form 1) An AI tutor system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides customized education based on the learning style and abilities of elementary school students. This AI tutor system collects student learning data, and the AI analyzes this data to adjust the difficulty level of problems and change the format of teaching materials according to the student's progress, thereby providing an optimal learning experience. As a result, the student's learning efficiency improves, their understanding deepens, and their grades improve. It also improves the quality of education by providing parents and teachers with real-time progress reports and feedback. For example, the AI tutor system collects information on the student's correct answer rate, answer time, and learning style for problems they have solved. This data is input into the AI. Next, the AI analyzes the collected data. The AI analyzes the student's learning style and abilities and generates an individualized learning plan. For example, it identifies the student's strengths and weaknesses and customizes the learning content accordingly. Furthermore, it adjusts the difficulty level of problems according to the student's progress. For example, if the student shows a certain level of understanding, the difficulty level of the next problem is increased. On the other hand, if understanding is insufficient, the difficulty level is decreased. In this way, problems are provided that match the student's learning pace. In addition, the format of the teaching materials is changed to accommodate the student's learning style. For example, students who prefer visual learning will be provided with materials that make extensive use of diagrams and graphs. Conversely, students who prefer auditory learning will be provided with materials that utilize audio and video. In this way, materials optimized for each student's learning style will be provided. Furthermore, real-time progress reports and feedback will be provided to parents and teachers. For example, the student's learning status and grade progression will be displayed in graphs, allowing parents and teachers to understand the student's progress. Advice and support will also be provided as needed. This system will improve students' learning efficiency and deepen their understanding, leading to improved grades. In addition, providing real-time progress reports and feedback to parents and teachers will improve the quality of education. For example, by providing specific advice on how students can overcome areas where they struggle, learning effectiveness can be maximized. As a result, the AI tutor system can provide customized education based on each student's learning style and abilities.
[0029] The AI tutor system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, an adjustment unit, a format change unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects student learning data. The collection unit collects information such as the correct answer rate, answer time, and learning style of the problems solved by the student. The collection unit calculates the correct answer rate of the problems solved by the student and records the answer time. The collection unit can also collect information about the student's learning style. For example, the collection unit identifies whether the student prefers visual or auditory learning. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data using statistical analysis or machine learning algorithms. The analysis unit identifies the student's learning style and abilities. The generation unit generates a learning plan based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates an individualized learning plan based on the identified learning style and abilities. The generation unit identifies areas in which the student excels and areas in which they struggle, and customizes the learning content accordingly. The adjustment unit adjusts the difficulty level of the problems based on the learning plan generated by the generation unit. For example, the adjustment unit adjusts the difficulty level of the problems according to the student's progress. For example, if the student shows a certain level of understanding, the adjustment unit increases the difficulty level of the next problem. On the other hand, if the understanding is insufficient, it decreases the difficulty level. The format change unit changes the format of the learning materials based on the difficulty level of the problems adjusted by the adjustment unit. For example, the format change unit provides a format of learning materials that corresponds to the student's learning style. For example, for students who prefer visual learning, the format change unit provides materials that make extensive use of diagrams and graphs. On the other hand, for students who prefer auditory learning, it provides materials that use audio and video. The delivery unit provides progress reports and feedback based on the format of the learning materials changed by the format change unit. For example, the delivery unit provides real-time progress reports and feedback to parents and teachers. For example, the delivery unit displays the student's learning status and grade trends in graphs so that parents and teachers can understand the student's learning status. The delivery unit can also provide advice and support as needed.As a result, the AI tutor system according to the embodiment can provide an optimal learning experience by collecting and analyzing student learning data, generating learning plans, adjusting the difficulty level of problems, changing the format of learning materials, and providing progress reports and feedback.
[0030] The data collection unit collects student learning data. For example, it collects information such as the accuracy rate and time taken to answer problems, and information about the student's learning style. Specifically, the data collection unit calculates the accuracy rate for each problem the student solves and records in detail the time taken to answer. This allows for an accurate understanding of the student's level of comprehension and problem-solving speed. The data collection unit also collects information about the student's learning style. For example, it monitors the student's behavior and reactions during learning to determine whether they prefer visual or auditory learning. Students who prefer visual learning tend to show high interest in materials that make extensive use of diagrams and graphs, while students who prefer auditory learning tend to show high interest in materials that use audio and video. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and stores it in a database that is updated in real time. Furthermore, the data collection unit also collects students' learning history and past performance data, allowing for an understanding of long-term learning trends. This enables the data collection unit to comprehensively understand the student's learning situation and provide foundational data to address individual learning needs.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the collected data using statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. Specifically, it uses statistical analysis to analyze the distribution of students' correct answer rates and answer times to evaluate their learning progress and level of understanding. It also uses machine learning algorithms to identify students' learning styles and abilities. For example, it uses clustering algorithms to group students based on their learning styles and abilities and proposes an optimal learning plan for each group. Furthermore, the analysis unit can predict students' learning patterns and trends based on past learning data. For example, it uses regression models to predict the trend of students' performance and estimate their future learning progress. It also uses anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual learning patterns and abnormal data, enabling early detection of problems. In this way, the analysis unit can analyze the collected data from multiple angles and accurately grasp the students' learning situation.
[0032] The generation unit generates a learning plan based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit generates individualized learning plans based on identified learning styles and abilities. Specifically, it identifies areas where students excel and areas where they struggle, and customizes the learning content accordingly. For example, it provides more advanced problems and applied tasks in areas where students excel, and basic problems and supplementary materials in areas where they struggle. The generation unit can also adjust the progress schedule of the learning plan according to the student's learning pace and goals. For example, it sets short-term goals and presents specific learning steps to achieve them. Furthermore, the generation unit can flexibly modify the learning plan based on student feedback. This allows the generation unit to provide each student with an optimal learning plan and support effective learning.
[0033] The adjustment unit adjusts the difficulty level of the problems based on the learning plan generated by the generation unit. For example, the adjustment unit adjusts the difficulty level of the problems according to the student's progress. Specifically, if the student shows a certain level of understanding, the difficulty level of the next problem is increased. On the other hand, if the understanding is insufficient, the difficulty level is decreased. For example, if the student can accurately answer basic problems, applied problems or more complex problems are provided. Also, for areas where the student struggles, basic problems are repeatedly provided to support deepening understanding. Furthermore, the adjustment unit can also adjust the difficulty level of the problems considering the student's learning pace and motivation. For example, if the student is highly motivated to learn, challenging problems are provided to maintain their motivation. On the other hand, if the student shows low motivation to learn, relatively easy problems are provided to allow them to gain successful experiences and stimulate their motivation to learn. In this way, the adjustment unit can provide flexible problems according to the student's level of understanding and learning pace, supporting effective learning.
[0034] The formatting unit changes the format of the learning materials based on the difficulty level of the problems adjusted by the adjustment unit. For example, the formatting unit provides learning material formats that correspond to students' learning styles. Specifically, it provides materials that make extensive use of diagrams and graphs for students who prefer visual learning, and materials that use audio and video for students who prefer auditory learning. For example, it provides materials that use colorful diagrams and infographics for students who prefer visual learning, making the information easier to understand visually. It also provides audio explanations and video lectures for students who prefer auditory learning, effectively conveying information through hearing. Furthermore, the formatting unit can flexibly change the format of the learning materials based on student feedback. For example, if a student shows a high level of understanding with a particular format of material, it will prioritize providing materials in that format. On the other hand, if a student does not make progress with a particular format of material, it will provide materials in a different format to maximize learning effectiveness. In this way, the formatting unit can provide learning materials that are optimal for each student's learning style and support effective learning.
[0035] The service provider will provide progress reports and feedback based on the format of the learning materials modified by the format modification service provider. For example, the service provider will provide real-time progress reports and feedback to parents and teachers. Specifically, it will display graphs showing the progress of students' learning and grades so that parents and teachers can understand the students' learning situation. For example, it will visually display graphs showing the progress of students' learning and the progress of their grades so that parents and teachers can understand the learning situation at a glance. The service provider can also provide advice and support as needed. For example, if a student is struggling in a particular area, it will provide additional learning resources and support in that area. Furthermore, the service provider will also provide feedback to the students themselves to increase their motivation to learn. For example, it will provide positive feedback on the goals and progress that students have achieved to maintain their motivation to learn. The service provider can also collect student feedback and use it to improve the overall system. This allows the service provider to provide appropriate feedback to parents, teachers, and students and support effective learning.
[0036] The data collection unit can collect information on the accuracy rate, time taken to solve problems, and learning style of students. For example, the data collection unit can calculate the accuracy rate of problems solved by students and record the time taken to solve them. The data collection unit can also collect information on students' learning styles. For example, the data collection unit can identify whether students prefer visual or auditory learning.

Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the collected data into an AI, which can then analyze that data.
[0038] The generation unit can generate individualized learning plans based on identified learning styles and abilities. For example, the generation unit can identify areas in which students excel and areas in which they struggle, and customize the learning content accordingly. For example, the generation unit can provide more advanced problems in areas in which students excel and provide basic problems in areas in which they struggle. This improves students' learning efficiency by generating individualized learning plans. Some or all of the above-described processes in the generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the generation unit can input identified learning styles and abilities into AI, and the AI can generate a learning plan based on that data.
[0039] The adjustment unit can adjust the difficulty level of the problems according to the student's progress.

On the other hand, if the understanding is insufficient, it can decrease the difficulty level. For example, if the student shows a certain level of understanding, the adjustment unit can increase the difficulty level of the next problem. On the other hand, if the understanding is insufficient, it can decrease the difficulty level. In this way, by adjusting the difficulty level of the problems according to the student's progress, an optimal learning experience can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the adjustment unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the adjustment unit can input the student's progress into the AI, and the AI can adjust the difficulty level of the problems based on that data.
[0040] The format modification unit can provide learning materials in formats that correspond to students' learning styles.

Some or all of the above processing in the format modification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the format modification unit can input students' learning styles into AI, and the AI can change the format of the learning materials based on that data.
[0041] The data collection unit can analyze a student's past learning history and select the optimal data collection method. For example, the data collection unit can collect learning data during time periods when students have shown high correct answer rates in the past. For example, the data collection unit can collect data based on subjects that students have focused on studying in the past. For example, the data collection unit can collect detailed data on subjects that students have struggled with in the past. By analyzing a student's past learning history, the optimal data collection method can be selected.

For example, the data collection unit can input a student's past learning history into an AI, which can then select the optimal data collection method based on that data.
[0042] The data collection unit can filter learning data based on the student's current learning environment and areas of interest. For example, if a student is studying in a quiet environment, the data collection unit will collect data suitable for that environment. For example, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting data related to areas of interest to the student. For example, the data collection unit will filter data based on the learning materials and tools the student is using. This allows for the collection of more relevant data by filtering data based on the student's current learning environment and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the student's current learning environment and areas of interest into the AI, which can then filter the data based on that information.
[0043] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the student's geographical location when collecting learning data. For example, if the student is at school, the data collection unit will collect data related to the school curriculum. If the student is at home, the data collection unit will collect data suitable for home study. If the student is at the library, the data collection unit will collect data related to library resources. This allows for the collection of more relevant data by considering the student's geographical location.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and various modifications are possible.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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."
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.
[0199] 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.
[0200] 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.
[0201] 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.
[0202] 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.
[0203] 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.
[0204] 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.

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.
