[0051] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0052] The data collection unit can monitor the user's health status and adjust the timing of information collection based on that status. For example, if the user is fatigued, information collection will begin after they have rested. If the user is healthy and active, information collection will begin immediately. If the user is ill, information collection will be withheld until their health condition improves. This allows for more appropriate information collection by adjusting the timing of information collection according to the user's health status.

[0053] The generation unit can analyze users' past reviews and generate travel plans based on the review content. For example, it can prioritize including tourist destinations that users have given high ratings to in the past, exclude accommodations that users have expressed dissatisfaction with, and suggest activities that users particularly enjoyed again. In this way, by analyzing users' past reviews, it is possible to generate more satisfying travel plans.

[0054] The data collection unit can monitor the user's current activity status and adjust the timing of information collection based on that status. For example, if the user is at work, data collection will be withheld until work is finished. If the user is on vacation, data collection will begin immediately. If the user is traveling, data collection will be withheld until travel is complete. By adjusting the timing of data collection according to the user's current activity status, more appropriate data collection becomes possible.

[0055] The generation unit can create travel plans that take into account the user's current weather information. For example, it might include indoor tourist attractions in case of rain, outdoor activities in case of sunny weather, and ski resorts on snowy days. By considering the user's current weather information, it can generate more appropriate travel plans.

[0056] The data collection unit can monitor the user's current device usage and adjust the timing of data collection based on that usage. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, data collection will be suspended. If the user is using a computer, data collection will begin immediately. If the user is not using a device, a notification will be sent prompting them to use it. This allows for more appropriate data collection by adjusting the timing of data collection according to the user's current device usage.

[0057] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0058] Step 1: The data collection unit collects information such as the user's interests, budget, time, and weather. For example, the data collection unit collects information entered by the user and stores it in a database. The data collection unit can also use AI to automatically collect information such as the user's interests, budget, time, and weather. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit uses AI, for example, to analyze tourist information and reviews from a wide database. The analysis unit selects the most suitable tourist destinations and accommodations based on the user's interests and budget. Step 3: The generation unit generates a travel plan based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates a travel plan based on the analysis results, for example, using a generation AI. The generation unit can also dynamically generate a travel plan based on the user's preferences. Step 4: The suggestion unit proposes the travel plan generated by the generation unit to the user. For example, the suggestion unit presents the generated travel plan to the user and receives user feedback. The suggestion unit can also integrate real-time weather information and propose the optimal plan according to the weather.

For example, the collection unit collects information entered by the user and stores it in a database. The collection unit can also use AI to automatically collect information such as the user's interests, budget, time, and weather. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze tourist information and reviews from a wide range of databases. The analysis unit selects the most suitable tourist destinations and accommodations based on the user's interests and budget. The generation unit generates a travel plan based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit uses generation AI to generate a travel plan based on the analysis results. The generation unit can also dynamically generate a travel plan based on the user's preferences. The suggestion unit proposes the travel plan generated by the generation unit to the user. For example, the suggestion unit presents the generated travel plan to the user and receives user feedback. The suggestion unit can also integrate real-time weather information and propose the most suitable plan according to the weather. This allows the travel plan suggestion system to propose the most suitable travel plan based on information such as the user's interests, budget, time, and weather.

[0061] The data collection unit collects information such as user interests, budget, time, and weather. Specifically, it collects information entered by the user and stores it in a database. For example, it provides a form where the user enters their desired travel destination, purpose of travel, budget, duration of travel, preferred activities, etc., and collects this information. The data collection unit can also use AI to automatically collect information such as user interests, budget, time, and weather. For example, it analyzes the user's past search history, booking history, and social media posts to infer the user's interests and preferences. Furthermore, the data collection unit obtains real-time weather information from a weather forecast database and considers the weather during the travel period. This allows the data collection unit to create a more accurate user profile by combining the user's explicit input information with implicit behavioral data. The collected information is stored in a secure database and managed so that the analysis and generation units can access it. To protect user privacy, the data collection unit anonymizes and encrypts the data to ensure security. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently collect diverse user information and improve the accuracy and reliability of the entire system.

[0062] The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the data collection unit. Specifically, it uses AI to analyze tourist information and reviews from a wide database. For example, it evaluates the popularity of tourist destinations, accessibility, and seasonal appeal, and selects the most suitable tourist destinations and accommodations based on the user's interests and budget. The analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze user input information and review text data to identify tourist destinations and activities that match the user's preferences and expectations. It also uses machine learning algorithms to learn from past user data and make optimal suggestions to users with similar interests and budgets. Furthermore, the analysis unit considers real-time weather information and selects the most suitable tourist destinations and activities according to the weather. For example, it prioritizes suggesting indoor tourist destinations and activities during rainy weather and outdoor tourist destinations and activities during sunny weather. In this way, the analysis unit can build a foundation for responding to the diverse needs of users and providing optimal travel plans.

[0063] The generation unit generates travel plans based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it uses a generation AI to generate travel plans based on the analysis results. The generation AI takes into account information such as the user's interests, budget, time, and weather, and automatically creates the optimal travel plan. For example, it combines the tourist destinations and activities desired by the user to generate a detailed travel plan including itinerary, transportation, and accommodation. The generation unit can also dynamically generate travel plans based on the user's preferences. For example, if the user wants to add a specific activity or change the budget, the generation AI will regenerate the plan in real time, providing the optimal plan that meets the user's needs. Furthermore, the generation unit learns from past user data and feedback to continuously improve the accuracy of the generation AI. As a result, the generation unit can respond to the diverse needs of users and provide flexible and highly accurate travel plans.

[0064] The suggestion unit proposes travel plans generated by the generation unit to the user. Specifically, it presents the generated travel plan to the user and receives user feedback. The suggestion unit visually displays the details of the travel plan through the user interface, making it easy for the user to understand. For example, it displays details of each day and activity in the travel plan, accommodation information, and transportation options using maps, images, and text. The suggestion unit can also integrate real-time weather information and propose the optimal plan according to the weather. For example, based on the weather forecast for the travel period, it suggests indoor activities in case of rain and outdoor activities in case of sunny weather. Furthermore, the suggestion unit collects user feedback and provides it to the generation unit to improve the accuracy of the travel plan and user satisfaction. For example, if a user wants to change the proposed plan, the suggestion unit communicates the details to the generation unit, and the generation AI regenerates the plan. In this way, the suggestion unit can provide the user with the optimal travel plan and increase user satisfaction.

[0065] The proposal unit can integrate real-time weather information and propose the optimal plan according to the weather. For example, the proposal unit obtains real-time weather information from weather data providers and reflects it in the travel plan. The proposal unit can also adjust the plan based on the latest weather information, taking into account the frequency of weather information updates. The proposal unit obtains the weather forecast for the user's travel destination and proposes tourist spots and activities according to the weather. For example, it proposes indoor tourist spots in case of rain and outdoor activities in case of sunny weather. In this way, by taking real-time weather information into consideration, it can propose the optimal travel plan according to the weather.

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.

[0114] Figure 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Figure 4, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing by the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0115] 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.

[0116] 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.

[0117] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart glasses 214 also have a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0118] 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.).

[0119] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 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.

[0120] 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.

[0139] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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).

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.).

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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).

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 collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and proposal unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects information such as the user's interests, budget, time, and weather using the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and stores it in the database 24. The analysis unit analyzes the collected information using, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes tourist information and reviews from an extensive database. The generation unit generates a travel plan based on the analysis results using, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The proposal unit can, for example, present the travel plan generated by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 to the user and propose an optimal plan by integrating real-time weather information. 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.

[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.
