Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.
[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The receiving device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.
[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text). The display 40A displays visible information such as text and images according to instructions from the processor 46. The speaker 40B outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46. The camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system such as a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.
[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.
[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the 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 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] 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.
[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. 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 operating as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart device 14 also has 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.
[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 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) The approval support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for improving the low productivity related to approvals within a company, such as when supervisors or executives are too busy to find time for consultation meetings, or when time is finally available but a series of harsh criticisms lead to starting over. In this approval support system, the user answers a simple questionnaire in advance, and an AI agent determines the characteristics of the supervisor from a vast amount of statistical data and traces the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. Furthermore, by submitting meeting minutes and receiving confirmation and additional comments from the supervisor, the accuracy of the tracing can be improved. This mechanism can save time spent on approvals and improve productivity. For example, the user answers a simple questionnaire in advance. This questionnaire includes questions about the characteristics of the supervisor and past feedback. For example, questions such as "What kind of feedback does your supervisor usually give?" or "What kind of criticisms have you received in past meetings?" are included. This information is input into the AI agent. Next, the AI agent determines the characteristics of the supervisor from a vast amount of statistical data. The AI agent analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data and traces the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. For example, the AI agent learns patterns of feedback given by a supervisor in the past and predicts what kind of feedback will be given in similar situations. Furthermore, it submits meeting minutes and receives confirmation and additional comments from the supervisor. After a user has a meeting with the AI agent, they submit the minutes to their supervisor. The supervisor reviews the minutes and provides confirmation and additional comments. This improves the accuracy of the AI agent's tracing, allowing it to provide more accurate feedback in subsequent meetings. This system saves time spent on approval and improves productivity. Users can reduce wasted time because they can receive feedback in advance through meetings with the AI agent, even when their supervisor is busy. Supervisors also save time because they only need to confirm the minutes. For example, when a user proposes a new project, they can improve the proposal by having a meeting with the AI agent beforehand and receiving feedback that their supervisor is likely to give.This reduces the time spent in meetings with supervisors and allows for more efficient approval. The approval support system enables users to anticipate supervisor feedback in advance, saving time on the approval process.
[0029] The approval support system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a judgment unit, a tracing unit, and a confirmation unit. The reception unit receives a simple questionnaire from the user in advance. By having the user answer a simple questionnaire in advance, the reception unit collects information such as the characteristics of the user's supervisor and information about past feedback. For example, the reception unit provides a questionnaire that includes questions such as "What kind of feedback does your supervisor usually give?" and "What kind of feedback did you receive in past meetings?" The judgment unit determines the characteristics of the supervisor based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the judgment unit determines the characteristics of the supervisor from a large amount of statistical data. For example, the judgment unit analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data to predict the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. The tracing unit traces the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give based on the characteristics of the supervisor determined by the judgment unit. For example, the tracing unit analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data to trace the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. For example, the tracing unit learns the patterns of feedback the supervisor has given in the past and predicts what kind of feedback will be given in similar situations. The confirmation unit submits the meeting minutes and receives confirmation and additional comments from the supervisor. The confirmation unit, for example, submits meeting minutes to a supervisor after a user has a meeting with an AI agent. The supervisor reviews the minutes and provides confirmation or additional comments. This allows the confirmation unit to improve the accuracy of the AI agent's tracing. As a result, the approval support system according to this embodiment allows the user to anticipate the supervisor's feedback in advance and save time on the approval process.
[0030] The reception department requires users to complete a short questionnaire beforehand. By having users complete this questionnaire, the reception department can collect information such as the characteristics of the user's supervisor and past feedback. Specifically, the questionnaire includes questions such as "What kind of feedback does your supervisor usually give?" and "What kind of feedback did you receive in past meetings?" This allows the reception department to understand the user's supervisor's feedback style and past behavioral patterns. Furthermore, the questionnaire responses are stored in a database within the system and used for subsequent processing. The questionnaire content includes a wide range of information, such as the user's job responsibilities, relationship with their supervisor, and specific details of past feedback. This allows the reception department to gain a detailed understanding of the user's situation and the characteristics of their supervisor, and provide accurate information to the decision-making and tracing departments. In addition, the questionnaire responses are updated regularly to reflect the latest information. For example, the questionnaire content can be updated in response to changes in circumstances, such as when a user joins a new project or their supervisor changes. This allows the reception department to always make decisions based on the latest information. Furthermore, the questionnaire responses are anonymized within the system, and the system is designed to protect privacy. This allows users to answer surveys with confidence.
[0031] The judgment unit determines the characteristics of the supervisor based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the judgment unit determines the supervisor's characteristics from a vast amount of statistical data. Specifically, it analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data to predict the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. The judgment unit uses AI to analyze this data and extract the supervisor's feedback patterns and behavioral characteristics. For example, it analyzes what kind of feedback the supervisor has given in the past and in what situations to predict feedback in similar situations. The AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze meeting minutes and feedback data and extract the supervisor's statements, tone, and frequently occurring keywords. This allows the judgment unit to understand the supervisor's feedback style and behavioral patterns in detail. Furthermore, the judgment unit utilizes not only past data but also data collected in real time. For example, if a user receives new feedback, that information can be immediately reflected in the system and the supervisor's characteristics updated. This allows the judgment unit to always make decisions based on the latest information. In addition, the judgment unit can analyze the characteristics of multiple supervisors simultaneously and handle cases where a user receives feedback from multiple supervisors. This allows the judgment unit to respond flexibly according to the user's situation.
[0032] The tracing unit traces the type of feedback a supervisor is likely to give, based on the supervisor's characteristics identified by the judgment unit. Specifically, it analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data to trace the type of feedback a supervisor is likely to give. The tracing unit uses AI to analyze this data and learn patterns of feedback the supervisor has given in the past. For example, it analyzes what kind of feedback a supervisor gave in a specific situation and predicts the type of feedback to give in a similar situation. The AI uses machine learning algorithms to extract feedback patterns from past data and applies them to new situations. This allows the tracing unit to predict the type of feedback a supervisor is likely to give with high accuracy. Furthermore, the tracing unit continuously updates the feedback prediction results based on data collected in real time. For example, if a user receives new feedback, that information can be immediately reflected in the system and the feedback prediction results updated. This allows the tracing unit to always provide highly accurate feedback predictions based on the latest information. The tracing unit also analyzes the user's reactions and actions to feedback, and can predict how the supervisor's feedback will be received. This allows the tracing unit to provide optimal feedback to the user and facilitate smooth communication with their supervisor.
[0033] The confirmation unit submits meeting minutes and receives confirmation and additional comments from supervisors. Specifically, after a user has a meeting with an AI agent, they submit the minutes to their supervisor. The supervisor reviews the minutes and provides confirmation and additional comments. This allows the confirmation unit to improve the accuracy of the AI agent's tracing. For example, if a supervisor provides specific feedback or corrections to the minutes, this information can be reflected in the system and used to predict future feedback. The confirmation unit automatically analyzes the content of the minutes and extracts the supervisor's feedback and comments. The AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the minutes and extract the supervisor's statements, tone, and frequently occurring keywords. This allows the confirmation unit to understand the supervisor's feedback style and behavioral patterns in detail. Furthermore, the confirmation unit continuously improves the AI agent's tracing algorithm based on the feedback and comments from supervisors. For example, it analyzes what kind of feedback a supervisor gave in a particular situation and adjusts the algorithm to predict feedback in similar situations. This allows the confirmation unit to improve the tracing accuracy of the AI agent and provide users with more accurate feedback predictions. Furthermore, based on feedback and comments from supervisors, the confirmation unit can analyze user behavior and reactions and provide advice to facilitate smoother communication with supervisors. This enables the confirmation unit to improve communication between users and supervisors and streamline the approval process.
[0034] The judgment unit can determine the characteristics of a supervisor from a vast amount of statistical data. For example, the judgment unit accurately determines the characteristics of a supervisor using a vast amount of statistical data. For example, the judgment unit analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data to predict the type of feedback a supervisor is likely to give. In this way, by using a vast amount of statistical data, the characteristics of a supervisor can be accurately determined. Statistical data includes, but is not limited to, past meeting minutes, feedback data, the supervisor's communication style, and the frequency of feedback. Some or all of the above processing in the judgment unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the judgment unit can input a vast amount of statistical data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the determination of the supervisor's characteristics.
[0035] The tracing unit can analyze past meeting minutes and feedback data to trace the type of feedback a supervisor is likely to give. For example, the tracing unit can learn patterns of feedback a supervisor has given in the past and predict what kind of feedback they will give in similar situations. This allows for accurate tracing of a supervisor's feedback by analyzing past data. Meeting minutes and feedback data include, but are not limited to, the content of past meetings, the content of the supervisor's feedback, and the supervisor's communication style. Some or all of the processing described above in the tracing unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the tracing unit can input past meeting minutes and feedback data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the tracing of the type of feedback a supervisor is likely to give.
[0036] The confirmation unit can submit meeting minutes and receive confirmation and additional comments from supervisors. For example, after a user has a meeting with an AI agent, the confirmation unit submits the minutes to the supervisor. The supervisor reviews the minutes and provides confirmation and additional comments. This improves the accuracy of the AI agent's tracing. By submitting meeting minutes and receiving feedback from supervisors, the accuracy of the tracing is improved. Confirmation and additional comments may include, but are not limited to, the content of the supervisor's feedback, the supervisor's communication style, and the supervisor's points of concern. Some or all of the above processes in the confirmation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the confirmation unit can input the meeting minutes into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform tracing of the supervisor's feedback.
[0037] The reception desk can analyze a user's past survey response history and select the most appropriate questions. For example, the reception desk can automatically select relevant questions based on the user's past responses. For example, the reception desk can analyze a user's response patterns and suggest question formats that are easy to answer. The reception desk can also prioritize displaying questions related to specific topics from the user's past response history. This allows for the selection of the most appropriate questions by analyzing past response history. The most appropriate questions include, but are not limited to, the type of question, the selection method, and the relevance of the questions. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past survey response history into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the most appropriate questions.
[0038] The reception desk can filter questions based on the user's current projects and areas of interest when they respond to a survey. For example, the reception desk may prioritize displaying questions related to the project the user is currently working on. For example, the reception desk may filter relevant questions based on the user's areas of interest. The reception desk may also select appropriate questions according to the progress of the user's project. This allows for the display of highly relevant questions by filtering questions based on the current project and areas of interest. Projects and areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the type of project, how the area of interest was identified, and its progress. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk may input data on the user's current projects and areas of interest into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the question filtering.
[0039] The reception desk can prioritize displaying questions that are highly relevant to the user's geographical location when they answer a survey. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the reception desk will prioritize displaying questions related to that region. For example, based on the user's location, the reception desk will display questions related to region-specific issues. If the user is on the move, the reception desk can also update questions related to their current location in real time. This allows for the display of highly relevant questions by considering geographical location. Geographical location information includes, but is not limited to, the method of obtaining location information, the criteria for selecting highly relevant questions, and region-specific issues. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI select highly relevant questions.
[0040] The reception desk can analyze a user's social media activity and present relevant questions when they respond to a survey. For example, the reception desk can analyze the content of a user's social media posts and present relevant questions. For example, the reception desk can display questions of interest based on the activity of the user's followers and friends. The reception desk can also analyze the user's social media trends and present questions on the latest topics. In this way, relevant questions can be presented by analyzing social media activity. Social media activity includes, but is not limited to, the type of activity, analysis algorithms, post content, the activity of followers and friends, and trends. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task of presenting relevant questions.
[0041] The decision-making unit can improve the accuracy of feature judgment by referring to the supervisor's past feedback history when making a decision. For example, the decision-making unit can analyze patterns of feedback the supervisor has given in the past and reflect them in the feature judgment. For example, the decision-making unit can adjust the feature judgment algorithm based on the supervisor's past feedback history.

[0060] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0061] Step 1: The reception desk has the user complete a short questionnaire in advance. By having the user complete a short questionnaire in advance, the reception desk can collect information such as the characteristics of the user's supervisor and past feedback. For example, the questionnaire may include questions such as "What kind of feedback does your supervisor usually give?" or "What kind of feedback have you received in past meetings?" Step 2: The judgment unit determines the characteristics of the supervisor based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the judgment unit determines the characteristics of the supervisor from a vast amount of statistical data. It analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data to predict the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. Step 3: The tracing unit traces the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give, based on the supervisor's characteristics determined by the judgment unit. For example, the tracing unit analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data to trace the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. It learns the patterns of feedback the supervisor has given in the past and predicts what kind of feedback they will give in similar situations. Step 4: The confirmation team submits the meeting minutes and receives confirmation and additional comments from their supervisor. After the user has a meeting with the AI agent, they submit the meeting minutes to their supervisor. The supervisor reviews the minutes and provides confirmation and additional comments. This allows the confirmation team to improve the accuracy of the AI agent's tracing.
[0062] (Example of form 2) The approval support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for improving the low productivity related to approvals within a company, such as when supervisors or executives are too busy to find time for consultation meetings, or when time is finally available but a series of harsh criticisms lead to starting over. In this approval support system, the user answers a simple questionnaire in advance, and an AI agent determines the characteristics of the supervisor from a vast amount of statistical data and traces the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. Furthermore, by submitting meeting minutes and receiving confirmation and additional comments from the supervisor, the accuracy of the tracing can be improved. This mechanism can save time spent on approvals and improve productivity. For example, the user answers a simple questionnaire in advance. This questionnaire includes questions about the characteristics of the supervisor and past feedback. For example, questions such as "What kind of feedback does your supervisor usually give?" or "What kind of criticisms have you received in past meetings?" are included. This information is input into the AI agent. Next, the AI agent determines the characteristics of the supervisor from a vast amount of statistical data. The AI agent analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data and traces the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. For example, the AI agent learns patterns of feedback given by a supervisor in the past and predicts what kind of feedback will be given in similar situations. Furthermore, it submits meeting minutes and receives confirmation and additional comments from the supervisor. After a user has a meeting with the AI agent, they submit the minutes to their supervisor. The supervisor reviews the minutes and provides confirmation and additional comments. This improves the accuracy of the AI agent's tracing, allowing it to provide more accurate feedback in subsequent meetings. This system saves time spent on approval and improves productivity. Users can reduce wasted time because they can receive feedback in advance through meetings with the AI agent, even when their supervisor is busy. Supervisors also save time because they only need to confirm the minutes. For example, when a user proposes a new project, they can improve the proposal by having a meeting with the AI agent beforehand and receiving feedback that their supervisor is likely to give.This reduces the time spent in meetings with supervisors and allows for more efficient approval. The approval support system enables users to anticipate supervisor feedback in advance, saving time on the approval process.
[0063] The approval support system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a judgment unit, a tracing unit, and a confirmation unit. The reception unit receives a simple questionnaire from the user in advance. By having the user answer a simple questionnaire in advance, the reception unit collects information such as the characteristics of the user's supervisor and information about past feedback. For example, the reception unit provides a questionnaire that includes questions such as "What kind of feedback does your supervisor usually give?" and "What kind of feedback did you receive in past meetings?" The judgment unit determines the characteristics of the supervisor based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the judgment unit determines the characteristics of the supervisor from a large amount of statistical data. For example, the judgment unit analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data to predict the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. The tracing unit traces the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give based on the characteristics of the supervisor determined by the judgment unit. For example, the tracing unit analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data to trace the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. For example, the tracing unit learns the patterns of feedback the supervisor has given in the past and predicts what kind of feedback will be given in similar situations. The confirmation unit submits the meeting minutes and receives confirmation and additional comments from the supervisor. The confirmation unit, for example, submits meeting minutes to a supervisor after a user has a meeting with an AI agent. The supervisor reviews the minutes and provides confirmation or additional comments. This allows the confirmation unit to improve the accuracy of the AI agent's tracing. As a result, the approval support system according to this embodiment allows the user to anticipate the supervisor's feedback in advance and save time on the approval process.
[0064] The reception department requires users to complete a short questionnaire beforehand. By having users complete this questionnaire, the reception department can collect information such as the characteristics of the user's supervisor and past feedback. Specifically, the questionnaire includes questions such as "What kind of feedback does your supervisor usually give?" and "What kind of feedback did you receive in past meetings?" This allows the reception department to understand the user's supervisor's feedback style and past behavioral patterns. Furthermore, the questionnaire responses are stored in a database within the system and used for subsequent processing. The questionnaire content includes a wide range of information, such as the user's job responsibilities, relationship with their supervisor, and specific details of past feedback. This allows the reception department to gain a detailed understanding of the user's situation and the characteristics of their supervisor, and provide accurate information to the decision-making and tracing departments. In addition, the questionnaire responses are updated regularly to reflect the latest information. For example, the questionnaire content can be updated in response to changes in circumstances, such as when a user joins a new project or their supervisor changes. This allows the reception department to always make decisions based on the latest information. Furthermore, the questionnaire responses are anonymized within the system, and the system is designed to protect privacy. This allows users to answer surveys with confidence.
[0065] The judgment unit determines the characteristics of the supervisor based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the judgment unit determines the supervisor's characteristics from a vast amount of statistical data. Specifically, it analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data to predict the type of feedback the supervisor is likely to give. The judgment unit uses AI to analyze this data and extract the supervisor's feedback patterns and behavioral characteristics. For example, it analyzes what kind of feedback the supervisor has given in the past and in what situations to predict feedback in similar situations. The AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze meeting minutes and feedback data and extract the supervisor's statements, tone, and frequently occurring keywords. This allows the judgment unit to understand the supervisor's feedback style and behavioral patterns in detail. Furthermore, the judgment unit utilizes not only past data but also data collected in real time. For example, if a user receives new feedback, that information can be immediately reflected in the system and the supervisor's characteristics updated. This allows the judgment unit to always make decisions based on the latest information. In addition, the judgment unit can analyze the characteristics of multiple supervisors simultaneously and handle cases where a user receives feedback from multiple supervisors. This allows the judgment unit to respond flexibly according to the user's situation.
[0066] The tracing unit traces the type of feedback a supervisor is likely to give, based on the supervisor's characteristics identified by the judgment unit. Specifically, it analyzes past meeting minutes and feedback data to trace the type of feedback a supervisor is likely to give. The tracing unit uses AI to analyze this data and learn patterns of feedback the supervisor has given in the past. For example, it analyzes what kind of feedback a supervisor gave in a specific situation and predicts the type of feedback to give in a similar situation. The AI uses machine learning algorithms to extract feedback patterns from past data and applies them to new situations. This allows the tracing unit to predict the type of feedback a supervisor is likely to give with high accuracy. Furthermore, the tracing unit continuously updates the feedback prediction results based on data collected in real time. For example, if a user receives new feedback, that information can be immediately reflected in the system and the feedback prediction results updated. This allows the tracing unit to always provide highly accurate feedback predictions based on the latest information. The tracing unit also analyzes the user's reactions and actions to feedback, and can predict how the supervisor's feedback will be received. This allows the tracing unit to provide optimal feedback to the user and facilitate smooth communication with their supervisor.
[0067] The confirmation unit submits meeting minutes and receives confirmation and additional comments from supervisors. Specifically, after a user has a meeting with an AI agent, they submit the minutes to their supervisor. The supervisor reviews the minutes and provides confirmation and additional comments. This allows the confirmation unit to improve the accuracy of the AI agent's tracing. For example, if a supervisor provides specific feedback or corrections to the minutes, this information can be reflected in the system and used to predict future feedback. The confirmation unit automatically analyzes the content of the minutes and extracts the supervisor's feedback and comments. The AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the minutes and extract the supervisor's statements, tone, and frequently occurring keywords. This allows the confirmation unit to understand the supervisor's feedback style and behavioral patterns in detail. Furthermore, the confirmation unit continuously improves the AI agent's tracing algorithm based on the feedback and comments from supervisors. For example, it analyzes what kind of feedback a supervisor gave in a particular situation and adjusts the algorithm to predict feedback in similar situations. This allows the confirmation unit to improve the tracing accuracy of the AI agent and provide users with more accurate feedback predictions. Furthermore, based on feedback and comments from supervisors, the confirmation unit can analyze user behavior and reactions and provide advice to facilitate smoother communication with supervisors. This enables the confirmation unit to improve communication between users and supervisors and streamline the approval process.
[0068] The judgment unit can determine the characteristics of a supervisor from a vast amount of statistical data. For example, the judgment unit accurately determines the characteristics of a supervisor using a vast amount of statistical data.

The supervisor reviews the minutes and provides confirmation and additional comments. This improves the accuracy of the AI agent's tracing. By submitting meeting minutes and receiving feedback from supervisors, the accuracy of the tracing is improved. Confirmation and additional comments may include, but are not limited to, the content of the supervisor's feedback, the supervisor's communication style, and the supervisor's points of concern.

For example, if the user is relaxed, the reception desk may add more detailed questions to gather deeper information. If the user is in a hurry, the reception desk may also prioritize displaying important questions to allow for quick answers. This makes it easier to answer the survey by adjusting the questions according to the user's emotions. The estimation of the user's emotions is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI may be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not.

[0074] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the order in which they answer the questionnaire based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the reception desk may start with easy questions and gradually increase the difficulty. For example, if the user is relaxed, the reception desk may display important questions first. If the user is in a hurry, the reception desk may also display important questions first to allow for quick answers. This makes it easier to answer the questionnaire by adjusting the order of answers according to the user's emotions. The estimation of the user's emotions is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI.

[0130] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0131] The headset terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a display 343. 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 display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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 (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) 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).
[0134] 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.
[0135] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific 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 program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 also has 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.
[0139] 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.).
[0140] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0143] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, judgment unit, tracing unit, and confirmation unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, and collects information on the supervisor's characteristics and past feedback by having the user answer a simple questionnaire in advance. The judgment unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and determines the supervisor's characteristics from a large amount of statistical data. The tracing unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and traces the feedback that the supervisor is likely to give. The confirmation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, and improves the accuracy of the tracing by submitting meeting minutes to the supervisor and receiving confirmation and additional comments. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0144] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.

[0147] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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).
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.).
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, judgment unit, tracing unit, and confirmation unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and collects information on the supervisor's characteristics and past feedback by having the user answer a simple questionnaire in advance. The judgment unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and determines the supervisor's characteristics from a large amount of statistical data. The tracing unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and traces the feedback that the supervisor is likely to give. The confirmation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and improves the accuracy of the tracing by submitting meeting minutes to the supervisor and receiving confirmation and additional comments. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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."
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
