[0015] In the following embodiments, "A and / or B" is synonymous with "at least one of A and B". That is, "A and / or B" means that it may be only A, only B, or a combination of A and B. 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 reception 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 reception 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 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 project management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that monitors the progress of a project, re-evaluates task priorities, and automatically notifies of delays in progress. This system monitors the task progress of each member, and if a delay occurs, an agent automatically sends a notification. Furthermore, the AI ​​re-evaluates task priorities and proposes resource optimization. This helps to ensure the smooth progress of the project. For example, the task progress of each member can be grasped in real time. By automatically visualizing the progress of tasks, the progress of each member can be checked at a glance. If a delay occurs, the agent immediately sends a notification to inform the team of the delay. This allows for a quick response to the delay. The AI ​​dynamically optimizes task priorities and proposes efficient resource allocation. This reduces wasted resources and allows the entire project to proceed smoothly. Project managers and team leaders can avoid the effort of keeping track of task progress. Because a quick response is possible even if a delay occurs, resource allocation and changes in priorities will not be delayed. This reduces the burden of project management and improves the overall performance of the team. For example, a project manager can maximize the project's success rate by monitoring each member's task progress in real time and responding immediately if delays occur. AI can ensure the smooth progress of the entire project by re-evaluating task priorities and suggesting efficient resource allocation. Thus, an agent that monitors project progress, re-evaluates task priorities, and automatically notifies of delays is an effective means of reducing the burden of project management and improving overall team performance. In this way, project management systems can ensure the smooth progress of projects by efficiently monitoring project progress, notifying of delays, and optimizing resources.

[0029] The project management system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, a notification unit, and an evaluation unit. The data collection unit monitors the task progress of each member. The data collection unit can, for example, grasp the task progress of each member in real time. The data collection unit can also automatically visualize the progress of tasks. For example, the data collection unit can display the task progress as a graph or chart, allowing each member's progress to be seen at a glance. The notification unit automatically notifies of any delays in progress monitored by the data collection unit. The notification unit, for example, immediately notifies when a delay in progress occurs. The notification unit can also adjust the level of detail of the notification based on the importance of the delay in progress. For example, the notification unit provides a detailed notification if the delay in progress is significant, and a concise notification if it is minor. The evaluation unit re-evaluates the task priorities based on the delays notified by the notification unit and makes suggestions for optimizing resources. For example, the evaluation unit dynamically optimizes task priorities when a delay in progress occurs and proposes efficient resource allocation. The evaluation unit can also make suggestions to reduce wasted resources and ensure the smooth progress of the entire project. For example, the evaluation unit makes suggestions to reduce resource waste based on resource allocation methods and optimization evaluation criteria. As a result, the project management system according to this embodiment can efficiently monitor the progress of the project, notify of delays, and optimize resources, thereby enabling the project to proceed smoothly.

[0030] The data collection unit monitors the task progress of each member. Specifically, it automatically collects the work content and progress of each member to understand the progress of the tasks they are responsible for in real time. The data collection unit works in conjunction with project management tools and task management software to acquire progress data entered by each member. For example, every time a member updates the progress of a task, that information is sent to the data collection unit and stored in a central database. Based on this data, the data collection unit visualizes the progress of tasks as graphs and charts. This allows project managers and team leaders to see the progress of each member at a glance. Furthermore, the data collection unit reflects changes in progress in real time, ensuring that the latest status is always known. For example, it uses Gantt charts and burn-down charts to visually display the progress of tasks and the amount of work remaining. This allows for efficient management of the overall progress of the project. The data collection unit can also record each member's working time and work content in detail, which is useful for analyzing and evaluating progress. This provides basic data for accurately understanding the progress of the project and taking appropriate action.

[0031] The notification unit automatically notifies stakeholders of delays in progress monitored by the data collection unit. Specifically, it analyzes progress data provided by the data collection unit and immediately notifies stakeholders if a task is behind schedule. The notification unit has a function to adjust the level of detail of notifications based on the severity of the delay. For example, if the delay is significant, it provides a detailed notification including information such as the cause of the delay, the scope of impact, and proposed countermeasures. On the other hand, if the delay is minor, it provides a concise notification with information sufficient to prompt necessary action. The notification unit can send notifications using multiple communication methods, such as email, chat tools, and push notifications. This allows stakeholders to quickly receive information about delays and take appropriate action. Furthermore, the notification unit records the notification history, allowing users to refer to past notification content and response status. This allows project managers and team leaders to review the progress management history and use it to improve future project management. The notification unit can notify not only of delays but also of important information regarding project progress, such as task completion and achievement of key milestones. This allows stakeholders to share the overall project progress and strengthen collaboration within the team.

[0032] The evaluation department re-evaluates task priorities based on delays notified by the notification department and proposes resource optimization. Specifically, when delays occur, it dynamically reviews task priorities and proposes efficient resource allocation. The evaluation department comprehensively evaluates the importance, dependencies, and resource utilization of each task and proposes optimal resource allocation. For example, for tasks with significant delays, resources are allocated preferentially to minimize the impact of the delay. For tasks with minor delays, resources are reallocated to concentrate on other important tasks. The evaluation department can also propose ways to reduce resource waste and ensure the smooth progress of the entire project. For example, it proposes ways to reduce resource waste based on resource allocation methods and optimization evaluation criteria. This improves project efficiency and promotes effective resource utilization. Furthermore, the evaluation department can also optimize resource allocation by utilizing historical data and statistical information. For example, it analyzes resource utilization trends and efficiency based on past project data to help optimize future resource allocation. This allows the evaluation department to efficiently manage project progress, minimize delays, and optimize resources, thereby ensuring the project runs smoothly.

Furthermore, the AI ​​re-evaluates task priorities and proposes resource optimization. This helps to ensure the smooth progress of the project. For example, the task progress of each member can be grasped in real time. By automatically visualizing the progress of tasks, the progress of each member can be checked at a glance. If a delay occurs, the agent immediately sends a notification to inform the team of the delay. This allows for a quick response to the delay. The AI ​​dynamically optimizes task priorities and proposes efficient resource allocation. This reduces wasted resources and allows the entire project to proceed smoothly. Project managers and team leaders can avoid the effort of keeping track of task progress. Because a quick response is possible even if a delay occurs, resource allocation and changes in priorities will not be delayed. This reduces the burden of project management and improves the overall performance of the team. For example, a project manager can maximize the project's success rate by monitoring each member's task progress in real time and responding immediately if delays occur. AI can ensure the smooth progress of the entire project by re-evaluating task priorities and suggesting efficient resource allocation. Thus, an agent that monitors project progress, re-evaluates task priorities, and automatically notifies of delays is an effective means of reducing the burden of project management and improving overall team performance. In this way, project management systems can ensure the smooth progress of projects by efficiently monitoring project progress, notifying of delays, and optimizing resources.

[0057] The project management system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, a notification unit, and an evaluation unit. The data collection unit monitors the task progress of each member. The data collection unit can, for example, grasp the task progress of each member in real time. The data collection unit can also automatically visualize the progress of tasks. For example, the data collection unit can display the task progress as a graph or chart, allowing each member's progress to be seen at a glance. The notification unit automatically notifies of any delays in progress monitored by the data collection unit. The notification unit, for example, immediately notifies when a delay in progress occurs. The notification unit can also adjust the level of detail of the notification based on the importance of the delay in progress. For example, the notification unit provides a detailed notification if the delay in progress is significant, and a concise notification if it is minor. The evaluation unit re-evaluates the task priorities based on the delays notified by the notification unit and makes suggestions for optimizing resources. For example, the evaluation unit dynamically optimizes task priorities when a delay in progress occurs and proposes efficient resource allocation. The evaluation unit can also make suggestions to reduce wasted resources and ensure the smooth progress of the entire project. For example, the evaluation unit makes suggestions to reduce resource waste based on resource allocation methods and optimization evaluation criteria. As a result, the project management system according to this embodiment can efficiently monitor the progress of the project, notify of delays, and optimize resources, thereby enabling the project to proceed smoothly.

[0058] The data collection unit monitors the task progress of each member. Specifically, it automatically collects the work content and progress of each member to understand the progress of the tasks they are responsible for in real time. The data collection unit works in conjunction with project management tools and task management software to acquire progress data entered by each member. For example, every time a member updates the progress of a task, that information is sent to the data collection unit and stored in a central database. Based on this data, the data collection unit visualizes the progress of tasks as graphs and charts. This allows project managers and team leaders to see the progress of each member at a glance. Furthermore, the data collection unit reflects changes in progress in real time, ensuring that the latest status is always known. For example, it uses Gantt charts and burn-down charts to visually display the progress of tasks and the amount of work remaining. This allows for efficient management of the overall progress of the project. The data collection unit can also record each member's working time and work content in detail, which is useful for analyzing and evaluating progress. This provides basic data for accurately understanding the progress of the project and taking appropriate action.

[0059] The notification unit automatically notifies stakeholders of delays in progress monitored by the data collection unit. Specifically, it analyzes progress data provided by the data collection unit and immediately notifies stakeholders if a task is behind schedule. The notification unit has a function to adjust the level of detail of notifications based on the severity of the delay. For example, if the delay is significant, it provides a detailed notification including information such as the cause of the delay, the scope of impact, and proposed countermeasures. On the other hand, if the delay is minor, it provides a concise notification with information sufficient to prompt necessary action. The notification unit can send notifications using multiple communication methods, such as email, chat tools, and push notifications. This allows stakeholders to quickly receive information about delays and take appropriate action. Furthermore, the notification unit records the notification history, allowing users to refer to past notification content and response status. This allows project managers and team leaders to review the progress management history and use it to improve future project management. The notification unit can notify not only of delays but also of important information regarding project progress, such as task completion and achievement of key milestones. This allows stakeholders to share the overall project progress and strengthen collaboration within the team.

Specifically, when delays occur, it dynamically reviews task priorities and proposes efficient resource allocation. The evaluation department comprehensively evaluates the importance, dependencies, and resource utilization of each task and proposes optimal resource allocation. For example, for tasks with significant delays, resources are allocated preferentially to minimize the impact of the delay. For tasks with minor delays, resources are reallocated to concentrate on other important tasks. The evaluation department can also propose ways to reduce resource waste and ensure the smooth progress of the entire project. For example, it proposes ways to reduce resource waste based on resource allocation methods and optimization evaluation criteria. This improves project efficiency and promotes effective resource utilization. Furthermore, the evaluation department can also optimize resource allocation by utilizing historical data and statistical information.

[0099] Furthermore, the processing performed by the data processing system 10 described above is carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but it may also be carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14.

[0133] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0134] 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.

The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0141] 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.

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.).

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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).

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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, notification unit, and evaluation unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and monitors the task progress of each member in real time. The notification unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and immediately notifies if a delay in progress occurs. The evaluation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and re-evaluates the task priorities and makes suggestions for optimizing resources. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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."

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. 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.
