Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.
[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The receiving device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.

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.

[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 pedestrian navigation agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a glasses-type device that assists pedestrians and drivers in smoothly reaching their destinations. This pedestrian navigation agent system analyzes map information in real time and projects directions and corners onto the glasses. It also provides voice guidance through a bone conduction speaker, allowing users to receive directions without moving their eyes. This enables efficient and comfortable travel without getting lost. For example, when a user inputs a destination, the generating AI analyzes the latest map data and traffic information and provides the optimal route in real time. The generating AI projects directions and corners onto the glasses and provides voice guidance through a bone conduction speaker. This allows users to receive directions without moving their eyes. For example, when a user alights at a station platform for the first time, the generating AI proposes the optimal route and projects directions and corners onto the glasses. The user can receive directions without moving their eyes and reach their destination without getting lost. The generating AI also provides advice according to traffic conditions and weather. For example, if traffic congestion occurs, the generating AI suggests an alternative route and guides the user via voice. This supports a comfortable and efficient journey for the user. This device is extremely useful for travel enthusiasts, outdoor activity lovers, and people who travel on foot or by car on a daily basis. Especially in unfamiliar places, it is easy to get lost and the stress of reaching one's destination can be great, but using a pedestrian navigation agent can reduce this stress and improve the efficiency and safety of travel. In this way, the pedestrian navigation agent system can help users reach their destination smoothly.
[0029] The pedestrian navigation agent system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a projection unit, and a guide unit. The reception unit receives information from the user to input their destination. The reception unit can accept destination input by methods such as voice input, touch input, or text input. The analysis unit analyzes map data and traffic information based on the information received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the latest map data and real-time traffic information using, for example, a generation AI to provide the optimal route. When the generation AI analyzes map data and traffic information, the analysis unit considers, for example, the type of algorithm and the accuracy of the analysis. The projection unit projects directions and corner indications onto the glasses based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The projection unit can display directions and corner indications by methods such as arrow displays or voice guidance. The guide unit provides voice guidance based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The guide unit provides voice guidance by means of, for example, a bone conduction speaker, allowing the user to receive directions without moving their eyes. As a result, the pedestrian navigation agent system can help the user reach their destination smoothly.
[0030] The reception unit receives information from the user to enter their destination. The reception unit can accept destination input via methods such as voice input, touch input, and text input. For voice input, the user simply speaks their destination into the microphone, and the system uses speech recognition technology to convert the input into text. For touch input, the user can select the destination on a map using the device's touchscreen or enter the destination's address or name using the keyboard. For text input, the user enters the destination using a keyboard or software keyboard. This allows the reception unit to offer diverse input methods, improving user convenience. Furthermore, the reception unit can quickly transmit the entered information to the analysis unit to proceed to the next processing step. To accurately recognize the user's input, the reception unit also has the ability to analyze the meaning of the input using natural language processing technology and correct erroneous or ambiguous inputs. For example, if a user enters "nearby cafe," the reception unit identifies the nearest cafe based on the user's current location and sends it to the analysis unit. This allows the reception unit to accurately understand the user's intent and provide appropriate information.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes map data and traffic information based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the latest map data and real-time traffic information to provide the optimal route. The generative AI rapidly processes a vast map database and traffic information to calculate the optimal route from the user's current location to their destination. Specifically, the generative AI obtains information such as road structure, pedestrian-only paths, and traffic light locations from the map database, and optimizes the route by considering congestion and construction information from real-time traffic information. For example, the generative AI uses deep learning algorithms to learn from past data and predict the optimal route. The analysis unit considers factors such as the type of algorithm and the accuracy of the analysis when the generative AI analyzes map data and traffic information. This allows the analysis unit to provide the user with the most efficient and safe route. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also provide customized routes by considering the user's walking speed and preferred routes (e.g., scenic routes or the shortest routes). Based on real-time updated information, the analysis unit immediately calculates a new route if a change is necessary and notifies the user. This allows the analysis unit to always provide the optimal route based on the latest information, helping users reach their destination smoothly.
[0032] The projection unit projects directions and corner indications onto the glasses based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The projection unit can display directions and corner indications using methods such as arrow displays or voice guidance. Specifically, the projection unit uses a display built into the smart glasses worn by the user to project arrows indicating the direction of travel and information about the next corner directly into the user's field of vision. This allows the user to confirm the direction of travel without moving their gaze. The projection unit can also provide a combination of visual and auditory information by using voice guidance in conjunction with the projection unit. For example, when approaching the next corner, it can provide voice guidance such as "Turn right at the next corner." This allows the user to obtain information from both sight and sound, enabling more intuitive navigation. Furthermore, the projection unit has a function to detect ambient brightness and the direction of the user's gaze and automatically adjust the displayed content. For example, it adjusts the brightness of the display at night or in dark places to make the information easier for the user to see. Also, if the user is looking in a particular direction, it prioritizes displaying information related to that direction. This allows the projection unit to provide flexible information tailored to the user's situation, offering a comfortable navigation experience.
[0033] The guide unit provides voice guidance based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the guide unit provides voice guidance through a bone conduction speaker, allowing the user to receive directions without moving their eyes. Because the bone conduction speaker transmits sound directly to the inner ear through the bone without blocking the ears, the user can receive voice guidance while still hearing ambient sounds. This allows the user to safely navigate while checking their surroundings. The guide unit updates the content of the voice guidance in real time according to the user's current location and progress. For example, when the user approaches the next corner, it provides specific instructions such as "Turn right at the next corner," and when approaching the destination, it provides guidance such as "Your destination is on the left." Furthermore, the guide unit can adjust the timing and content of the voice guidance according to the user's walking speed and surrounding conditions. For example, if the user is walking quickly, it provides the next instruction earlier, and if the user is standing still, it provides information appropriate to the situation. This allows the guide unit to provide flexible voice guidance tailored to the user's situation, supporting smooth navigation. Additionally, the guide unit supports multiple languages and can provide voice guidance in the appropriate language according to the user's language settings. This allows the guide system to provide appropriate navigation to a diverse range of users, including foreign tourists.
[0034] The advice unit can provide advice tailored to traffic conditions and weather. For example, the advice unit can acquire weather data and traffic sensor data and, based on this, suggest alternative routes and issue weather-related warnings to the user. For example, if there is traffic congestion, the advice unit can suggest alternative routes and provide voice guidance to the user. The advice unit can also provide voice guidance to warn the user if the weather deteriorates. In this way, the advice unit can support the user's comfortable and efficient travel by providing advice tailored to traffic conditions and weather. Some or all of the above processing in the advice unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the advice unit can input weather data and traffic sensor data into a generating AI, which can then analyze this data to generate advice.
[0035] The adjustment unit can adjust the navigation according to the user's walking speed. The adjustment unit measures the user's walking speed using, for example, an acceleration sensor or GPS data, and adjusts the timing of the navigation guidance based on this. For example, if the user is walking fast, the adjustment unit can advance the guidance timing. Conversely, if the user is walking slowly, the adjustment unit can delay the guidance timing. In this way, the adjustment unit can provide more appropriate guidance by adjusting the navigation according to the user's walking speed. Some or all of the above processing in the adjustment unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI. For example, the adjustment unit can input the user's walking speed data into a generating AI, and the generating AI can analyze this data to adjust the navigation.
[0036] The reception desk can analyze the user's past destination input history and automatically suggest frequently entered destinations. For example, the reception desk can automatically display places the user has frequently visited in the past as suggested destinations. The reception desk can also predict places the user will visit on specific days of the week or times of day and suggest them as suggested destinations. Furthermore, the reception desk can analyze the user's past travel patterns and suggest the most suitable destinations. This allows the reception desk to reduce the effort required for input by suggesting destinations based on past history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past destination input history data into a generating AI, which can analyze this data and automatically suggest frequently entered destinations.
[0037] The reception desk can suggest the optimal destination based on the user's current activity status and schedule when the user enters a destination. For example, the reception desk can refer to the user's schedule registered in their calendar and automatically set the destination. The reception desk can also suggest the optimal destination based on the user's current activity status (e.g., at work, on vacation, etc.). Furthermore, the reception desk can suggest the optimal destination by combining the user's current location information with their schedule. This allows the reception desk to improve convenience by suggesting the optimal destination based on the user's activity status and schedule. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's calendar information and location data into a generating AI, which can then analyze this data and suggest the optimal destination.
[0038] The reception unit can prioritize displaying highly relevant destinations when a destination is entered, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, the reception unit can prioritize displaying locations close to the user's current location as candidate destinations. The reception unit can also suggest highly relevant destinations by combining the user's current location with their past travel history. Furthermore, the reception unit can suggest the optimal destination by considering the user's current location and time of day. In this way, the reception unit can suggest highly relevant destinations by taking into account the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's geographical location data into a generating AI, which can then analyze this data and prioritize displaying highly relevant destinations.
[0039] The reception desk can analyze the user's social media activity when a destination is entered and suggest relevant destinations. For example, the reception desk can suggest places the user has checked into on social media as potential destinations. It can also analyze the content of the user's social media posts and suggest relevant destinations. Furthermore, it can suggest places visited by the user's social media friends as potential destinations. In this way, the reception desk can suggest destinations that match the user's interests based on their social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI, which can then analyze this data and suggest relevant destinations.
[0040] The analysis unit can predict current traffic conditions by referring to past traffic data during analysis. For example, the analysis unit predicts current traffic conditions based on past traffic congestion data. The analysis unit can also predict current operating conditions by referring to past public transport operating conditions. Furthermore, the analysis unit can predict current traffic conditions based on past road construction information. As a result, the analysis unit can provide more accurate route guidance by predicting current traffic conditions based on past traffic data. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input past traffic data into a generating AI, and the generating AI can analyze this data to predict current traffic conditions.
[0041] The analysis unit can provide the optimal route by considering the user's past travel history during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can propose the optimal route based on routes the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the analysis unit can propose routes that avoid congestion based on the user's past travel history. In addition, the analysis unit can analyze the user's past travel history and propose the most efficient route. Thus, by considering past travel history, the analysis unit can provide the user with the optimal route. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's past travel history data into a generating AI, which can then analyze this data to provide the optimal route.
[0042] The analysis unit can provide the optimal route by considering the user's geographical location information during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can propose the optimal route from the user's current location. It can also propose the optimal route by considering the distance between the user's current location and the destination. Furthermore, it can propose the optimal route by combining the user's current location with traffic conditions. In this way, the analysis unit can provide the optimal route by considering geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's geographical location information data into a generating AI, and the generating AI can analyze this data to provide the optimal route.
[0043] The analysis unit can analyze a user's social media activity during analysis and suggest relevant routes. For example, the analysis unit can suggest the optimal route based on the locations where the user has checked in on social media. It can also analyze the content of a user's social media posts and suggest relevant routes. Furthermore, the analysis unit can suggest the optimal route based on the locations visited by the user's social media friends.

For example, the analysis unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI, which can then analyze this data and suggest relevant routes.
[0044] The projection unit can detect the user's gaze movements during projection and select the optimal display position. For example, if the user's gaze is directed in a specific direction, the projection unit will project information in that direction. The projection unit can also track the user's gaze movements in real time and select the optimal display position. Furthermore, the projection unit can select the optimal display position considering the user's gaze movements and the environment. In this way, the projection unit can provide the optimal display position by detecting the user's gaze movements. Some or all of the above processing in the projection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the projection unit can input the user's gaze data into a generating AI, which can analyze this data to select the optimal display position.
[0045] The projection unit can adjust the brightness of the display based on the user's current ambient light during projection. For example, in a bright environment, the projection unit can automatically adjust the brightness to ensure visibility. In a dark environment, the projection unit can also automatically adjust the brightness to reduce eye strain. Furthermore, the projection unit can adjust the brightness in real time in response to changes in ambient light. This allows the projection unit to improve visibility by adjusting the brightness according to the ambient light. Some or all of the above processing in the projection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the projection unit can input ambient light data into a generating AI, which can then analyze this data to adjust the brightness of the display.

[0063] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0064] Step 1: The reception desk receives information from the user regarding their destination. The reception desk can accept destination input using methods such as voice input, touch input, or text input. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes map data and traffic information based on the information received by the reception unit. The analysis unit uses, for example, a generating AI to analyze the latest map data and real-time traffic information and provide the optimal route. When the generating AI analyzes the map data and traffic information, the analysis unit considers, for example, the type of algorithm and the accuracy of the analysis. Step 3: The projection unit projects directions for travel and corners onto the glasses based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit.

Step 4: The guide unit provides audio guidance based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The guide unit provides audio guidance, for example, through a bone conduction speaker, allowing the user to receive directions without moving their eyes.
[0065] (Example of form 2) The pedestrian navigation agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a glasses-type device that assists pedestrians and drivers in smoothly reaching their destinations. This pedestrian navigation agent system analyzes map information in real time and projects directions and corners onto the glasses. It also provides voice guidance through a bone conduction speaker, allowing users to receive directions without moving their eyes. This enables efficient and comfortable travel without getting lost. For example, when a user inputs a destination, the generating AI analyzes the latest map data and traffic information and provides the optimal route in real time. The generating AI projects directions and corners onto the glasses and provides voice guidance through a bone conduction speaker. This allows users to receive directions without moving their eyes. For example, when a user alights at a station platform for the first time, the generating AI proposes the optimal route and projects directions and corners onto the glasses. The user can receive directions without moving their eyes and reach their destination without getting lost. The generating AI also provides advice according to traffic conditions and weather. For example, if traffic congestion occurs, the generating AI suggests an alternative route and guides the user via voice. This supports a comfortable and efficient journey for the user. This device is extremely useful for travel enthusiasts, outdoor activity lovers, and people who travel on foot or by car on a daily basis. Especially in unfamiliar places, it is easy to get lost and the stress of reaching one's destination can be great, but using a pedestrian navigation agent can reduce this stress and improve the efficiency and safety of travel. In this way, the pedestrian navigation agent system can help users reach their destination smoothly.
[0066] The pedestrian navigation agent system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a projection unit, and a guide unit. The reception unit receives information from the user to input their destination. The reception unit can accept destination input by methods such as voice input, touch input, or text input. The analysis unit analyzes map data and traffic information based on the information received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the latest map data and real-time traffic information using, for example, a generation AI to provide the optimal route. When the generation AI analyzes map data and traffic information, the analysis unit considers, for example, the type of algorithm and the accuracy of the analysis. The projection unit projects directions and corner indications onto the glasses based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The projection unit can display directions and corner indications by methods such as arrow displays or voice guidance. The guide unit provides voice guidance based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The guide unit provides voice guidance by means of, for example, a bone conduction speaker, allowing the user to receive directions without moving their eyes. As a result, the pedestrian navigation agent system can help the user reach their destination smoothly.
[0067] The reception unit receives information from the user to enter their destination. The reception unit can accept destination input via methods such as voice input, touch input, and text input. For voice input, the user simply speaks their destination into the microphone, and the system uses speech recognition technology to convert the input into text. For touch input, the user can select the destination on a map using the device's touchscreen or enter the destination's address or name using the keyboard. For text input, the user enters the destination using a keyboard or software keyboard. This allows the reception unit to offer diverse input methods, improving user convenience. Furthermore, the reception unit can quickly transmit the entered information to the analysis unit to proceed to the next processing step. To accurately recognize the user's input, the reception unit also has the ability to analyze the meaning of the input using natural language processing technology and correct erroneous or ambiguous inputs. For example, if a user enters "nearby cafe," the reception unit identifies the nearest cafe based on the user's current location and sends it to the analysis unit. This allows the reception unit to accurately understand the user's intent and provide appropriate information.
[0068] The analysis unit analyzes map data and traffic information based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the latest map data and real-time traffic information to provide the optimal route. The generative AI rapidly processes a vast map database and traffic information to calculate the optimal route from the user's current location to their destination. Specifically, the generative AI obtains information such as road structure, pedestrian-only paths, and traffic light locations from the map database, and optimizes the route by considering congestion and construction information from real-time traffic information. For example, the generative AI uses deep learning algorithms to learn from past data and predict the optimal route. The analysis unit considers factors such as the type of algorithm and the accuracy of the analysis when the generative AI analyzes map data and traffic information. This allows the analysis unit to provide the user with the most efficient and safe route. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also provide customized routes by considering the user's walking speed and preferred routes (e.g., scenic routes or the shortest routes). Based on real-time updated information, the analysis unit immediately calculates a new route if a change is necessary and notifies the user. This allows the analysis unit to always provide the optimal route based on the latest information, helping users reach their destination smoothly.
[0069] The projection unit projects directions and corner indications onto the glasses based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The projection unit can display directions and corner indications using methods such as arrow displays or voice guidance. Specifically, the projection unit uses a display built into the smart glasses worn by the user to project arrows indicating the direction of travel and information about the next corner directly into the user's field of vision. This allows the user to confirm the direction of travel without moving their gaze. The projection unit can also provide a combination of visual and auditory information by using voice guidance in conjunction with the projection unit. For example, when approaching the next corner, it can provide voice guidance such as "Turn right at the next corner." This allows the user to obtain information from both sight and sound, enabling more intuitive navigation. Furthermore, the projection unit has a function to detect ambient brightness and the direction of the user's gaze and automatically adjust the displayed content. For example, it adjusts the brightness of the display at night or in dark places to make the information easier for the user to see. Also, if the user is looking in a particular direction, it prioritizes displaying information related to that direction. This allows the projection unit to provide flexible information tailored to the user's situation, offering a comfortable navigation experience.
[0070] The guide unit provides voice guidance based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the guide unit provides voice guidance through a bone conduction speaker, allowing the user to receive directions without moving their eyes. Because the bone conduction speaker transmits sound directly to the inner ear through the bone without blocking the ears, the user can receive voice guidance while still hearing ambient sounds. This allows the user to safely navigate while checking their surroundings. The guide unit updates the content of the voice guidance in real time according to the user's current location and progress. For example, when the user approaches the next corner, it provides specific instructions such as "Turn right at the next corner," and when approaching the destination, it provides guidance such as "Your destination is on the left." Furthermore, the guide unit can adjust the timing and content of the voice guidance according to the user's walking speed and surrounding conditions. For example, if the user is walking quickly, it provides the next instruction earlier, and if the user is standing still, it provides information appropriate to the situation. This allows the guide unit to provide flexible voice guidance tailored to the user's situation, supporting smooth navigation. Additionally, the guide unit supports multiple languages and can provide voice guidance in the appropriate language according to the user's language settings. This allows the guide system to provide appropriate navigation to a diverse range of users, including foreign tourists.
[0071] The advice unit can provide advice tailored to traffic conditions and weather. For example, the advice unit can acquire weather data and traffic sensor data and, based on this, suggest alternative routes and issue weather-related warnings to the user. For example, if there is traffic congestion, the advice unit can suggest alternative routes and provide voice guidance to the user. The advice unit can also provide voice guidance to warn the user if the weather deteriorates. In this way, the advice unit can support the user's comfortable and efficient travel by providing advice tailored to traffic conditions and weather. Some or all of the above processing in the advice unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the advice unit can input weather data and traffic sensor data into a generating AI, which can then analyze this data to generate advice.
[0072] The adjustment unit can adjust the navigation according to the user's walking speed. The adjustment unit measures the user's walking speed using, for example, an acceleration sensor or GPS data, and adjusts the timing of the navigation guidance based on this. For example, if the user is walking fast, the adjustment unit can advance the guidance timing. Conversely, if the user is walking slowly, the adjustment unit can delay the guidance timing. In this way, the adjustment unit can provide more appropriate guidance by adjusting the navigation according to the user's walking speed. Some or all of the above processing in the adjustment unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI. For example, the adjustment unit can input the user's walking speed data into a generating AI, and the generating AI can analyze this data to adjust the navigation.
[0073] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and customize the destination input interface based on the estimated emotions.

[0155] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0156] 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.
[0157] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0158] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443.

The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0159] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0160] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0161] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0162] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.).
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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).

[0170] 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.
[0171] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, projection unit, guide unit, advice unit, and adjustment unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives the user's destination input. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes map data and traffic information. The projection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and projects directions and corner indications onto the glasses. The guide unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides voice guidance through a bone conduction speaker. The advice unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides advice according to traffic conditions and weather. The adjustment unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and adjusts the navigation according to the user's walking speed. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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."
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
