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 shopping navigation AI according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that improves the shopping experience in offline stores. This shopping navigation AI analyzes the inventory status in the store and generates and navigates the user to the store by inputting desired or preferred products. For example, if a user inputs a specific product name or characteristic such as "red sweater" or "casual jacket," the generating AI analyzes the store's inventory status and generates the optimal route to reach the desired product. The generating AI understands the placement and inventory status of products in the store and proposes a route that allows the user to find products efficiently. For example, if a user is looking for a red sweater in a Uniqlo store, the generating AI identifies the location where the red sweater is located and proposes the shortest route to that location. Furthermore, the generating AI interactively incorporates the user's real-time feedback and reflects it in the route. For example, if a user says, "This sweater is a little big," the generating AI will use that information to suggest other sweaters of different sizes. Also, if a user says, "I don't like the material of this jacket," the generating AI will suggest jackets made of different materials. This system allows users to quickly find the products they are looking for, improving the offline shopping experience. Furthermore, the generative AI learns user preferences and can provide more personalized suggestions. For example, if a user prefers casual styles, the generative AI will prioritize suggesting casual items. The generative AI also has the ability to show and compare similar products and explain the differences in features and materials. This allows users to compare multiple products and choose the best one for them. For example, the generative AI might explain, "This sweater is made of wool, and this sweater is made of cotton," helping users understand the difference in materials. In this way, the shopping navigation AI improves the offline shopping experience by understanding user preferences and suggesting the optimal route while incorporating real-time feedback.
[0029] The shopping navigation AI according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a navigation unit. The reception unit receives user input. User input includes, but is not limited to, text input, voice input, and image input. The reception unit receives information entered by the user using a smartphone or tablet, for example. The reception unit can also receive voice input from the user using voice recognition technology. Furthermore, the reception unit can analyze images taken by the user using image recognition technology and accept them as input information. For example, the reception unit analyzes an image of a product taken by the user with a smartphone and accepts information about that product as input. The analysis unit analyzes the store's inventory status based on the information received by the reception unit. The analysis unit, for example, works in conjunction with the store's inventory management system to grasp the inventory status in real time. The analysis unit analyzes the inventory status of the product entered by the user based on the inventory data obtained from the inventory management system. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the inventory data obtained from the inventory management system to check whether the product entered by the user is in stock. The analysis unit can also grasp the latest inventory status by considering the frequency of inventory data updates. The generation unit generates routes based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit uses generation AI to generate the optimal route so that users can find products efficiently. The generation unit understands the placement and inventory status of products in the store and proposes routes so that users can reach their desired products. For example, the generation unit uses generation AI to analyze the placement information of products in the store and generate the shortest route. The generation unit can also generate personalized routes based on the user's preferences. For example, if the generation unit prefers casual styles, it will generate a route that prioritizes suggesting casual products. The navigation unit navigates based on the route generated by the generation unit. The navigation unit uses, for example, voice guidance or visual guidance to guide the user to their desired product. The navigation unit provides real-time navigation information so that users do not get lost in the store.For example, the navigation unit can determine the user's current location and guide them to the desired product in real time. The navigation unit can also incorporate the user's real-time feedback and reflect it in the route. For example, if the user says, "This sweater is a little big," the navigation unit will use that information to suggest other sweaters of different sizes. In this way, the shopping navigation AI according to the embodiment improves the shopping experience in offline stores by generating and navigating the optimal route based on the user's input. Some or all of the above processing in the navigation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the navigation unit can input the user's real-time feedback into a generating AI and have the generating AI adjust the route based on that feedback.
[0030] The reception desk receives user input. User input includes, but is not limited to, text input, voice input, and image input. The reception desk can, for example, receive information entered by the user using a smartphone or tablet. The reception desk can also receive voice input from the user using speech recognition technology. Furthermore, the reception desk can analyze images taken by the user using image recognition technology and accept them as input information. For example, the reception desk can analyze an image of a product taken by the user with a smartphone and accept information about that product as input. The reception desk utilizes advanced natural language processing and image analysis technologies to process the information entered by the user quickly and accurately. For example, in the case of voice input, the speech recognition engine converts the user's speech into text and analyzes that text to understand the user's intent. In the case of image input, the image recognition engine extracts the features of the product and identifies the product by matching it with information in the database. This allows the reception desk to support diverse input formats and respond flexibly to user needs. Furthermore, the reception desk can learn the user's past input history and behavior patterns to provide more personalized services. For example, if a user has frequently searched for products from a particular brand in the past, products from that brand will be displayed preferentially. Furthermore, the reception desk can analyze user input in real time and provide immediate feedback. This allows users to shop smoothly and efficiently. To protect user privacy, the reception desk properly manages entered information and uses encryption technology as needed to ensure data security. This allows users to use the service with peace of mind.
[0031] The analysis department analyzes store inventory status based on information received by the reception department. For example, the analysis department integrates with the store's inventory management system to grasp inventory status in real time. Based on inventory data obtained from the inventory management system, the analysis department analyzes the inventory status of products entered by users. For example, the analysis department analyzes inventory data obtained from the inventory management system to check whether the product entered by the user is in stock. The analysis department can also grasp the latest inventory status by considering the frequency of inventory data updates. The analysis department utilizes AI technology to perform inventory data analysis efficiently and accurately. For example, it can use machine learning algorithms to learn patterns in inventory data and optimize demand forecasting and inventory replenishment. This allows the analysis department to quickly grasp the inventory status of products users are looking for and provide appropriate information. Furthermore, the analysis department can integrate inventory data from multiple stores and present the inventory status of the store closest to the user. This allows users to find products efficiently. The analysis department can also predict inventory fluctuations by considering past sales data and seasonal trends, and suggest products to users at the appropriate time. For example, if a particular product experiences seasonally high demand, the system will notify users before it goes out of stock. The analytics department can also provide personalized product suggestions based on users' purchase history and preferences. This allows users to efficiently find products that suit their tastes. The analytics department implements appropriate access controls and data encryption to ensure data security and privacy, and manages user information securely.
[0032] The generation unit generates routes based on information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit uses generational AI to generate the optimal route so that users can efficiently find products. The generation unit understands the placement and inventory status of products within the store and proposes a route so that users can reach their desired products. For example, the generation unit uses generational AI to analyze the placement information of products within the store and generate the shortest route. The generation unit can also generate personalized routes based on user preferences. For example, if the generation unit prefers casual styles, it will generate a route that prioritizes suggesting casual products. The generation unit utilizes AI technology to generate the optimal route based on user input information and past behavior history. For example, it analyzes data on stores the user has visited and products they have purchased in the past to learn the user's preferences and purchasing patterns. This allows the generation unit to propose the most efficient and satisfying route for the user. Furthermore, the generation unit can dynamically adjust the route considering real-time updated inventory information and store congestion. For example, if a specific product is out of stock or a particular area in the store is crowded, the route generation unit immediately recalculates the route and provides the user with the optimal route. Furthermore, the generation unit can continuously improve the accuracy and efficiency of routes by incorporating user feedback. For instance, if a user provides feedback such as "this route is a detour," the route generation algorithm is adjusted based on that information and reflected in future route suggestions. This allows the generation unit to provide flexible and personalized routes tailored to user needs, improving the shopping experience.
[0033] The navigation unit navigates based on routes generated by the generation unit. The navigation unit guides users to their desired products using, for example, voice and visual guidance. The navigation unit provides real-time navigation information to prevent users from getting lost in the store. For example, the navigation unit tracks the user's current location and provides real-time directions to the desired product. The navigation unit can also incorporate real-time user feedback and reflect it in the route. For instance, if a user comments that "this sweater is a little too big," the navigation unit will use that information to suggest other sweaters in different sizes. The navigation unit utilizes GPS and beacon technology to accurately determine the user's current location. This allows it to track the user's location in the store in real time and provide optimal navigation information. Furthermore, the navigation unit detects the user's speed and direction and provides guidance information at the appropriate time. For example, if a user stops in front of a specific product, it will display detailed information about that product and suggest related products. The navigation unit can also continuously improve navigation information based on user feedback. For example, if a user provides feedback such as "This guidance is difficult to understand," the guidance method will be adjusted based on that information and reflected in future navigation. The navigation unit can provide information to the user by combining multiple means, such as voice guidance, visual guidance, vibration notifications, and flashing lights. This allows users to receive navigation information not only through sight and hearing, but also through touch. To protect user privacy, the navigation unit appropriately manages location information and movement history, and ensures data security using encryption technology as needed. This allows users to use the service with peace of mind.
[0034] The feedback collection unit can incorporate real-time user feedback. For example, it can collect feedback by having users enter text comments. For example, it can accept text comments entered by users using smartphones or tablets. The feedback collection unit can also collect voice feedback. For example, it can convert voice feedback from users into text using speech recognition technology and collect it. Furthermore, the feedback collection unit can also collect rating scores. For example, it can accept rating scores entered by users as a number of stars. This allows for the provision of more personalized routes by reflecting real-time user feedback. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the feedback collection unit can input user voice feedback into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform analysis of the feedback.
[0035] The history utilization unit can utilize the user's past purchase history and ratings. For example, the history utilization unit collects and utilizes information such as the user's purchase date and time, purchased items, and purchase frequency. For example, the history utilization unit suggests related products based on information about products the user has purchased in the past. The history utilization unit can also utilize the user's ratings.

[0167] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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).
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.).
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, navigation unit, feedback reception unit, history utilization unit, and explanation unit, is implemented by, for example, 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 user input. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the store's inventory status. The generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates the optimal route. The navigation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and navigates the user. The feedback reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and incorporates the user's real-time feedback. The history utilization unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and utilizes the user's past purchase history and evaluations. The explanation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and explains the differences in product functions and materials. The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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."
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.
[0199] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

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