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 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 password update agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that reads the different password requirements (such as uppercase and lowercase letters and symbols) for each website, automatically generates and updates an appropriate password according to the expiration date (the interval at which renewal is required), and notifies the user of the updated password via a linked messaging application. The password update agent system reads the different password requirements for each website, automatically generates and updates an appropriate password according to the expiration date, and notifies the user of the updated password via a linked messaging application. For example, the password update agent system reads the password requirements for each website. For example, if one website requires a password that includes uppercase and lowercase letters and symbols, and another website requires a password that includes numbers, the password update agent system accurately grasps the requirements for each. Next, the password update agent system stores the password expiration date for each website. For example, if one website requires a password to be updated every 30 days, and another website requires a password to be updated every 90 days, the password update agent system manages the respective expiration dates. When the password expiration date approaches, the password update agent system automatically generates a new password. At this time, the password update agent system generates a highly secure password based on the password requirements for each website. For example, if a password requires uppercase and lowercase letters and symbols, the password update agent system will generate a password that meets these requirements. The generated new password will be notified to a linked messaging app. For example, the new password will be sent to a messaging app specified by the user. This allows the user to easily verify their new password. This mechanism frees users from the hassle of updating passwords. For example, users no longer need to remember the password requirements for each website or worry about password expiration dates. In addition, because the password update agent system automatically generates highly secure passwords, users can minimize the risk of leaking personal information digitally.Furthermore, the password refresh agent system functions as an Identity as a Service (IDaaS) for individuals, even when enterprise-level single sign-on or end-user social login is unavailable. This is expected to lead to increased adoption in industries requiring identity verification processes, such as financial institutions. Thus, the password refresh agent system is a groundbreaking solution for reducing the burden of password management for users and providing a highly secure digital environment.
[0029] The password update agent system according to the embodiment comprises a reading unit, a generation unit, an update unit, and a notification unit. The reading unit reads the password requirements. The reading unit reads, for example, the password requirements for each website. For example, if one website requires a password containing uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and symbols, and another website requires a password containing numbers, the reading unit accurately understands the requirements for each. The generation unit generates a password based on the requirements read by the reading unit. The generation unit generates a highly secure password based on the requirements read. For example, if a password containing uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and symbols is required, the generation unit generates a password that satisfies these requirements. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit inputs the read requirements into the generation AI, and the generation AI generates a password based on the requirements. The update unit updates the password generated by the generation unit. The update unit manages the password expiration date and automatically updates the password when the expiration date approaches. For example, the update unit manages the expiration dates for different websites, such as one website requiring password updates every 30 days and another every 90 days. Some or all of the above processes in the update unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the update unit inputs the password expiration date into the AI, and the AI updates the password based on the expiration date. The notification unit notifies the user of the password updated by the update unit. The notification unit notifies a linked messaging app of the updated password, for example. For example, the notification unit sends the new password to a messaging app specified by the user. Some or all of the above processes in the notification unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the notification unit inputs the updated password into the AI, and the AI notifies the user of the password.As a result, the password update agent system according to the embodiment automatically reads, generates, updates, and notifies users of password requirements, reducing the effort required from the user and enabling highly secure password management.
[0030] The reading unit reads password requirements. For example, it reads the password requirements for each website. Specifically, the reading unit analyzes the HTML structure and JavaScript® code of a website and extracts information about the password requirements. For example, if a website requires passwords to include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, the reading unit accurately identifies these requirements. Similarly, if another website requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long, the reading unit also identifies that requirement. The reading unit stores these requirements in a database for use in subsequent processing. Furthermore, the reading unit has the ability to periodically scan websites and detect changes in password requirements. For example, if a website's password policy changes, the reading unit detects the change and updates the database with the latest requirements. This ensures that the reading unit always has the most up-to-date password requirements, improving the overall accuracy and reliability of the system.
[0031] The generation unit generates a password based on the requirements read by the reading unit. For example, the generation unit generates a highly secure password based on the read requirements. Specifically, the generation unit uses an algorithm to generate random strings and generates a password that satisfies the read requirements. For example, if a password is required that includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, the generation unit generates a random string that satisfies these requirements. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI. The generation AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the read requirements and generate a password based on them. For example, the generation AI is given prompts such as "include uppercase letters," "include lowercase letters," "include numbers," and "include symbols," and generates a highly secure password based on them. The generated password is stored in a database and used for subsequent processing by the update unit. This allows the generation unit to automatically provide highly secure passwords, saving the user the trouble of manually generating them.
[0032] The update unit updates the passwords generated by the generation unit. For example, the update unit manages password expiration dates and automatically updates passwords when they are about to expire. Specifically, the update unit stores the password expiration dates for each website in a database and automatically requests a new password from the generation unit when the expiration date approaches, then updates the password. For example, if one website requires a password update every 30 days and another website requires an update every 90 days, the update unit manages the respective expiration dates and automatically generates and updates a new password when the expiration date approaches. Some or all of the above processes in the update unit may be performed using AI. The AI manages password expiration dates and automatically generates and updates a new password when the expiration date approaches. For example, the AI stores the password expiration dates for each website in a database and automatically generates and updates a new password when the expiration date approaches. This allows the update unit to save users the trouble of manually updating their passwords and always maintain the latest password.
[0033] The notification unit notifies the user of the password updated by the update unit. The notification unit notifies the user of the updated password, for example, via a linked messaging app. Specifically, the notification unit sends the new password to the messaging app specified by the user. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI. The AI notifies the user of the updated password. For example, the AI sends the updated password to the messaging app specified by the user. This allows the notification unit to eliminate the need for the user to manually check their password and to always provide the user with the latest password. Furthermore, the notification unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the notification content. For example, the notification unit reviews and improves the notification content based on user feedback. In addition, the notification unit can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, it can reliably deliver important information by using voice calls, SMS, email, etc., in addition to messaging app notifications. This allows the notification unit to quickly and reliably notify the user of their password and improve user convenience.
[0034] The reading unit can read the password requirements for each website. For example, the reading unit accurately reads the password requirements for each website. For example, if one website requires a password containing uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and symbols, and another website requires a password containing numbers, the reading unit accurately understands each requirement. This allows the reading unit to accurately read the password requirements for each website. Some or all of the above processing in the reading unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reading unit inputs the password requirements for each website into the AI, and the AI reads the requirements.
[0035] The generation unit can generate a highly secure password based on the read requirements. For example, the generation unit can automatically generate a highly secure password based on the read requirements. For example, if the generation unit requires a password containing uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and symbols, it will generate a password that satisfies these requirements. This enables the automatic generation of highly secure passwords. Some or all of the above-described processes in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or not. For example, the generation unit inputs the read requirements into the generation AI, and the generation AI generates a password based on the requirements.
[0036] The update unit manages password expiration dates and can automatically update passwords as they approach their expiration date. For example, if a password needs to be updated every 30 days for one website and every 90 days for another, the update unit manages the expiration dates for each. This ensures security by managing and automatically updating password expiration dates. Some or all of the above processes in the update unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the update unit inputs the password expiration date into the AI, and the AI updates the password based on the expiration date.
[0037] The notification unit can notify a linked messaging app of the updated password. For example, the notification unit notifies a linked messaging app of the updated password. For example, the notification unit sends the new password to a messaging app specified by the user. This allows the user to be quickly notified of the updated password. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the notification unit inputs the updated password into the AI, and the AI notifies the user of the password.
[0038] The notification unit can send a new password to a messaging app specified by the user. For example, the notification unit can send a new password to a messaging app specified by the user. This allows the user to easily confirm their new password by sending it to the messaging app specified by the user. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the notification unit inputs the updated password into the AI, and the AI notifies the user of the password.
[0039] The reading unit can predict changes in requirements by referring to past requirement change history when reading password requirements for each website. For example, the reading unit can analyze past requirement change history and predict when the next change will occur. For example, the reading unit can learn patterns of requirement changes and predict the content of the next change. For example, the reading unit can analyze the frequency of requirement changes and predict the timing of the next change. This allows for prediction of requirement changes and appropriate responses by referring to past requirement change history. Some or all of the above processing in the reading unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reading unit can input past requirement change history into AI, and the AI can predict changes in requirements.
[0040] The reading unit can evaluate the importance of password requirements by considering the website's security policy when reading them. For example, the reading unit can analyze the website's security policy and evaluate the importance of the requirements. For example, the reading unit can rank the importance of the requirements according to the strictness of the security policy. For example, the reading unit can refer to the security policy change history and re-evaluate the importance of the requirements. This allows for a proper evaluation of the importance of requirements by considering the website's security policy. Some or all of the above processing in the reading unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reading unit inputs the website's security policy into AI, and the AI evaluates the importance of the requirements.
[0041] The reading unit can filter password requirements by considering the geographical location of the website when reading them. For example, the reading unit may prioritize reading requirements for geographically close websites, or postpone requirements for geographically distant websites. For example, the reading unit may evaluate the importance of the requirements based on their geographical location. This allows for filtering of requirements by considering geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the reading unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the reading unit may input the geographical location of the website into the AI, which then filters the requirements.
[0042] The reading unit can evaluate the importance of password requirements by considering the frequency of website usage when reading them. For example, the reading unit may prioritize reading requirements for frequently used websites. For example, the reading unit may postpone reading requirements for less frequently used websites. For example, the reading unit may rank the importance of requirements based on usage frequency. This allows for a proper evaluation of requirement importance by considering website usage frequency. Some or all of the above processing in the reading unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the reading unit may input website usage frequency data into the AI, and the AI may evaluate the importance of the requirements.
[0043] The generation unit can select the optimal generation algorithm by referring to past password generation history when generating a password. For example, the generation unit can analyze past generation history and select the optimal algorithm. For example, the generation unit can select an algorithm that suits the user's preferences from the generation history. For example, the generation unit can select an algorithm with a high security level based on the generation history. In this way, the optimal generation algorithm can be selected by referring to past generation history. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit inputs past generation history data into a generation AI, and the generation AI selects the optimal generation algorithm.
[0044] The generation unit can apply different generation algorithms depending on the security level of the website when generating passwords. For example, the generation unit can apply a complex algorithm to a website with a high security level. For example, the generation unit can apply a simple algorithm to a website with a low security level. For example, the generation unit can adjust the complexity of the algorithm according to the security level. This allows the appropriate generation algorithm to be applied according to the security level of the website. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit inputs the website's security level data into the generation AI, and the generation AI applies an appropriate generation algorithm.
[0045] The generation unit can determine the priority of passwords to generate based on the frequency of website usage.

[0061] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0062] Step 1: The reading unit reads the password requirements. For example, it reads the password requirements for each website and accurately identifies requirements such as uppercase and lowercase letters, symbols, and numbers. Step 2: The generation unit generates a password based on the requirements read by the reading unit. For example, if a password containing uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and symbols is required, it generates a highly secure password that meets these requirements. The processing in the generation unit may also be performed using a generation AI. Step 3: The update unit updates the password generated by the generation unit. For example, it manages the password expiration date and automatically updates the password when the expiration date approaches. The processing in the update unit may also be performed using AI. Step 4: The notification unit notifies the user of the password updated by the update unit. For example, it notifies the linked messaging app of the updated password and sends the new password to the messaging app specified by the user. Processing in the notification unit may also be performed using AI.
[0063] (Example of form 2) The password update agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that reads the different password requirements (such as uppercase and lowercase letters and symbols) for each website, automatically generates and updates an appropriate password according to the expiration date (the interval at which renewal is required), and notifies the user of the updated password via a linked messaging application. The password update agent system reads the different password requirements for each website, automatically generates and updates an appropriate password according to the expiration date, and notifies the user of the updated password via a linked messaging application. For example, the password update agent system reads the password requirements for each website. For example, if one website requires a password that includes uppercase and lowercase letters and symbols, and another website requires a password that includes numbers, the password update agent system accurately grasps the requirements for each. Next, the password update agent system stores the password expiration date for each website. For example, if one website requires a password to be updated every 30 days, and another website requires a password to be updated every 90 days, the password update agent system manages the respective expiration dates. When the password expiration date approaches, the password update agent system automatically generates a new password. At this time, the password update agent system generates a highly secure password based on the password requirements for each website. For example, if a password requires uppercase and lowercase letters and symbols, the password update agent system will generate a password that meets these requirements. The generated new password will be notified to a linked messaging app. For example, the new password will be sent to a messaging app specified by the user. This allows the user to easily verify their new password. This mechanism frees users from the hassle of updating passwords. For example, users no longer need to remember the password requirements for each website or worry about password expiration dates. In addition, because the password update agent system automatically generates highly secure passwords, users can minimize the risk of leaking personal information digitally.Furthermore, the password refresh agent system functions as an Identity as a Service (IDaaS) for individuals, even when enterprise-level single sign-on or end-user social login is unavailable. This is expected to lead to increased adoption in industries requiring identity verification processes, such as financial institutions. Thus, the password refresh agent system is a groundbreaking solution for reducing the burden of password management for users and providing a highly secure digital environment.
[0064] The password update agent system according to the embodiment comprises a reading unit, a generation unit, an update unit, and a notification unit.

[0065] The reading unit reads password requirements. For example, it reads the password requirements for each website. Specifically, the reading unit analyzes the HTML structure and JavaScript code of a website and extracts information about the password requirements. For example, if a website requires passwords to include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, the reading unit accurately identifies these requirements. Similarly, if another website requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long, the reading unit also identifies that requirement. The reading unit stores these requirements in a database and uses them for subsequent processing. Furthermore, the reading unit has the ability to periodically scan websites and detect changes in password requirements. For example, if a website's password policy changes, the reading unit detects the change and updates the database with the latest requirements. This ensures that the reading unit always has the most up-to-date password requirements, improving the overall accuracy and reliability of the system.
[0066] The generation unit generates a password based on the requirements read by the reading unit. For example, the generation unit generates a highly secure password based on the read requirements.

The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.
[0155] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0156] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0157] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0158] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0159] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).
[0160] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0161] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.
[0162] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0163] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reading unit, generation unit, update unit, and notification unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reading unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and reads the password requirements for each website. The generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates a password based on the read requirements. The update unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and updates the generated password. The notification unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and notifies the user of the updated password. 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.
[0164] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting as an emotion engine, may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0165] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.
[0166] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.
[0167] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.
[0168] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0169] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0170] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.
[0171] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.
[0172] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.
[0173] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0174] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.
[0175] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[0176] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.
[0177] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.
[0178] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.
[0179] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
