[0028] (Example of form 1) The system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses an AI agent to suggest the optimal way for people to spend their free time on holidays who have nothing to do or are just sleeping. This system collects information about the user's lifestyle and preferences, and based on the collected information, the AI ​​agent traverses maps and calendars to suggest the optimal way for the user to spend their time. Furthermore, based on payment information, it provides information that matches the individual's preferences. For example, a user who spends a lot of money on curry would be suggested to go on a curry gourmet tour. This system allows users to spend their holidays meaningfully. For example, it collects information about the user's lifestyle and preferences. In this process, it collects the user's past behavior history, payment information, calendar information, etc. For example, it collects information such as what places the user has visited in the past, what kind of payments they have made, and what kind of plans they have on their calendar. This makes it possible to understand the user's preferences and lifestyle patterns. Next, based on the collected information, the AI ​​agent traverses maps and calendars to suggest the optimal way for the user to spend their time. For example, if the user thinks "I want to do something," the AI ​​agent suggests options such as studying, exercising, or changing their mood based on the user's preferences. Furthermore, if a user wants to spend time with someone, the AI ​​agent will use their calendar information to coordinate schedules with family and friends and suggest the best plan. In addition, it will provide information that matches the user's preferences based on their payment information. For example, if a user spends a lot of money on curry, the AI ​​agent will suggest a curry gourmet tour. Also, if a user is interested in movies or games, the AI ​​agent will suggest related events and places. This allows users to find ways to spend their time that suit their preferences. This system allows users to spend their holidays meaningfully. For example, if a user thinks "I want to do something," the AI ​​agent will suggest the best plan based on the user's preferences, saving the user the trouble of planning and researching. Also, since the AI ​​agent handles scheduling with family and friends, users can enjoy their holidays without stress.Furthermore, by providing information tailored to individual preferences based on payment information, users can find activities that align with their interests. This allows the system to suggest optimal ways to spend time based on the user's lifestyle and preferences, providing information that matches their individual tastes.

[0029] The system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, a suggestion unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects information about the user's lifestyle and preferences. For example, the collection unit collects the user's past behavioral history, payment information, and calendar information. For example, the collection unit collects information such as what places the user has visited in the past, what payments they have made, and what appointments they have on their calendar. The suggestion unit suggests the best way to spend time based on the information collected by the collection unit. For example, if the user wants to do something, the suggestion unit suggests options such as studying, exercising, or changing their mood based on the user's preferences. Also, if the user wants to spend time with someone, the suggestion unit adjusts schedules with family and friends based on calendar information and suggests the best plan. The provision unit provides information that matches the individual's preferences based on the information suggested by the suggestion unit. For example, the provision unit provides information that matches the individual's preferences based on payment information. For example, if the user spends a lot of money on curry, the provision unit suggests a curry gourmet tour.

As a result, the system according to this embodiment can suggest the optimal way for users to spend their time based on their lifestyle and preferences, and provide information that matches individual preferences.

[0030] The data collection unit collects information about users' lifestyles and preferences. Specifically, it collects users' past behavioral history, payment information, and calendar information. For example, information about places users have visited in the past is obtained through GPS data and location services. This allows the unit to understand patterns in places users frequently visit or prefer to go. Payment information shows what goods and services users have paid for, clarifying their purchasing trends and preferences. This includes credit card usage history and electronic money transaction history. Calendar information provides details of users' schedules and events, helping to understand what activities users are planning. This information is automatically collected from users' smartphones and computers and stored in a cloud-based database. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and can link with other systems and departments as needed. For example, collected data can be made accessible to the proposal and provision departments. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions are possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.

[0031] The suggestion department proposes the best way to spend time based on the information collected by the data collection department. Specifically, it analyzes the user's past behavioral history and preferences, and when the user wants to "do something," it suggests options such as studying, exercising, or relaxing. For example, if the user has a history of going to a fitness gym, the suggestion department can suggest exercising. Also, if the user has enjoyed reading in the past, the suggestion department can suggest reading a new book. Furthermore, if the user wants to spend time with someone, the suggestion department uses calendar information to coordinate schedules with family and friends and proposes the best plan. For example, if the user has an appointment with a friend on their calendar, it can suggest the best way to spend time to match that appointment. The suggestion department uses AI to analyze the user's preferences and behavioral patterns and make optimal suggestions.

For example, it can suggest relevant new activities based on places the user has visited and events they have attended in the past. It can also analyze a user's past behavioral patterns and suggest new activities that they might be interested in. Furthermore, it can suggest relevant new activities based on the user's past usage history of services and apps. In this way, the suggestion department can propose optimal new activities by analyzing a user's past behavioral history.

[0094] The service provider can analyze users' social media activity and provide information based on topics they have shown interest in. For example, it can provide information related to topics users have shown interest in on social media. It can also analyze users' social media activity history and provide information to suggest new activities they might be interested in. Furthermore, it can provide relevant information based on the accounts users follow on social media. In this way, the service provider can provide relevant information by analyzing users' social media activity.

[0095] The data collection unit can filter information based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest. For example, it can collect information to suggest appropriate activities based on the user's current lifestyle. It can also prioritize the collection of relevant information based on the user's areas of interest. Furthermore, it can filter out unnecessary information based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest. In this way, the data collection unit can filter information based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest.

[0096] The proposal department can prioritize proposals based on when they are submitted by users. For example, it can prioritize proposals based on the information a user has most recently submitted. It can also adjust the priority of proposals based on information a user has submitted in the past. Furthermore, it can determine the priority of proposals based on information a user has submitted at a specific time. In this way, the proposal department can determine the priority of proposals based on when they are submitted by users.

[0097] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0098] Step 1: The data collection unit collects information about the user's lifestyle and preferences. Specifically, it collects the user's past activity history, payment information, and calendar information. For example, it collects information such as what places the user has visited in the past, what payments they have made, and what appointments they have on their calendar. Step 2: The suggestion unit proposes the best way to spend time based on the information collected by the collection unit. For example, if the user wants to "do something," it suggests options such as studying, exercising, or relaxing, based on the user's preferences. Also, if the user wants to spend time with someone, it coordinates schedules with family and friends based on calendar information and proposes the best plan. Step 3: The provision department provides information that matches the individual's preferences based on the information proposed by the suggestion department. For example, based on payment information, it provides information that matches the individual's preferences. If the user spends a lot of money on curry, it suggests a curry gourmet tour. Also, if the user is interested in movies or games, it suggests events and places related to those.

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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, proposal unit, and provision unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit uses the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 to collect information about the user's lifestyle and preferences, and the control unit 46A transmits the collected information to the data processing unit 12. The proposal unit is implemented in, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and proposes the optimal way to spend time based on the collected information. The provision unit is implemented in, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and provides information that matches the individual's preferences based on the proposed information. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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."

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.
