[0014] In the following embodiments, the labeled communication I / F (Interface) is an interface including a communication processor, an antenna, and the like. The communication I / F controls communication between a plurality of computers. Examples of communication standards applied to the communication I / F include wireless communication standards such as 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication System), Wi-Fi (registered trademark), or Bluetooth (registered trademark).

[0015] In the following embodiments, "A and / or B" is synonymous with "at least one of A and B". That is, "A and / or B" means that it may be only A, only B, or a combination of A and B. Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.

[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a 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.

[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text). The display 40A displays visible information such as text and images according to instructions from the processor 46. The speaker 40B outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46. The camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system such as a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.

[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart device 14 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) The Home Search System according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a conversational AI agent to conduct detailed interviews with users considering purchasing or renting a home, and utilizes a generative AI to provide personalized property recommendations. The Home Search System provides a supportive experience that allows users to relax their conditions based on their priorities, helping them find the optimal home. For example, the Home Search System allows users to input their desired conditions for purchasing or renting a home into the conversational AI agent. For example, they might input conditions such as "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget under 5 million yen." The conversational AI agent conducts detailed interviews with the user about their desired conditions and lifestyle and provides this information to the generative AI. Next, the Home Search System allows the generative AI to generate optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. The generative AI refers to a property information database and extracts properties that match the user's conditions. For example, it extracts properties that match the conditions "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget under 5 million yen." Furthermore, the Home Search System allows the generative AI to suggest ways to relax the user's conditions. For example, by relaxing the requirement from "within a 10-minute walk from the station" to "within an 11-minute walk," the number of eligible properties increases. Also, by changing the requirement from "south-facing" to "southwest-facing" or "southeast-facing," the number of eligible properties can be increased even with a lower rent. Finally, the home search system uses a generating AI to provide users with the most suitable property information. Users can review the property information suggested by the generating AI and select properties that meet their criteria. Furthermore, when a new property matching the criteria is registered, the generating AI notifies the user through channels such as messaging apps. This system supports users in efficiently searching for their ideal home and finding the most suitable property within their budget. For example, relaxing the requirement from "within a 10-minute walk from the station" to "within an 11-minute walk" increases the number of eligible properties, giving users more options. Also, by including "southwest-facing" and "southeast-facing" in addition to "south-facing," the number of eligible properties can be increased even with a lower rent. This allows users to find the best property within their budget, increasing their satisfaction.This allows the home search system to provide optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle.

[0029] The home search system according to this embodiment comprises a hearing unit, a generation unit, a proposal unit, and a provision unit. The hearing unit conducts detailed interviews about the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. For example, when the user inputs their desired conditions for buying or renting a home, the hearing unit uses a conversational AI agent to ask detailed questions. For example, the hearing unit can ask the user questions such as, "How many minutes' walk from the station do you want?" or "What is your budget?" The hearing unit also asks questions about the user's lifestyle. For example, the hearing unit can ask questions such as, "Do you have pets?" or "Do you have children?" The generation unit generates optimal property information based on the information gathered by the hearing unit. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to extract properties that match the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. The generation unit refers to a property information database and searches for properties that match the user's conditions. For example, the generation unit can extract properties that meet the conditions "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget under 5 million yen." The suggestion unit makes suggestions to relax the conditions based on the property information generated by the generation unit. For example, the suggestion unit may suggest increasing the number of target properties by relaxing the user's conditions. For example, the suggestion unit may suggest relaxing "within a 10-minute walk from the station" to "within an 11-minute walk." The suggestion unit may also suggest changing "south-facing" to "southwest-facing" or "southeast-facing." The provision unit provides the user with the property information suggested by the suggestion unit. For example, the provision unit may notify the user of the property information suggested by the generation AI. The provision unit can provide property information to the user through channels such as messaging apps. For example, the provision unit can notify the user via a messaging app when a new property matching the user's desired conditions is registered. As a result, the home search system according to this embodiment can provide optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle.

[0030] The interviewing unit conducts detailed interviews to understand the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. For example, when a user enters their desired conditions for buying or renting a home, the interviewing unit uses a conversational AI agent to ask detailed questions. Specifically, the interviewing unit can ask the user questions such as, "How many minutes' walk from the station do you want?" or "What is your budget?" This allows the unit to accurately understand the user's specific desired conditions. The interviewing unit also asks questions about the user's lifestyle. For example, by asking questions such as, "Do you have pets?" or "Do you have children?", the unit gathers information to suggest properties that suit the user's lifestyle. Furthermore, the interviewing unit can ask additional questions based on the user's answers. For example, if the user answers, "I have pets," the interviewing unit will ask detailed questions such as, "What kind and how big are your pets?" to gather information to suggest properties suitable for pets. The interviewing unit also analyzes the user's answers in real time and provides information to the generation unit to suggest the most suitable properties based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. This allows the interviewing department to thoroughly understand the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, and collect basic information to propose the most suitable properties. Furthermore, the interviewing department can store the user's responses in a database and use them for future property proposals and user support. As a result, the interviewing department can efficiently collect information to propose the most suitable properties based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, thereby improving the overall performance of the system.

[0031] The generation unit generates optimal property information based on the information gathered by the interviewing unit. For example, the generation unit uses generation AI to extract properties that match the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. Specifically, the generation unit refers to a property information database and searches for properties that match the user's conditions. For example, the generation unit can extract properties that meet the conditions of "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget of 5 million yen or less." The generation AI analyzes the user's desired conditions and uses an algorithm to select the optimal property from the property information database. For example, the generation AI selects the optimal property by weighting the user's desired conditions and calculating a score for each property. The generation unit also considers the surrounding environment and facility information of the property based on the user's lifestyle. For example, if the user answers that they "own a pet," the generation unit will prioritize extracting properties that are close to parks or veterinary clinics suitable for pets. Furthermore, if the generation unit cannot find a property that matches the user's desired conditions, it can suggest relaxing the conditions. For example, relaxing the condition from "within a 10-minute walk from the station" to "within a 15-minute walk" can increase the number of eligible properties. This allows the generation unit to generate optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle and provide it to the proposal unit. Furthermore, the generation unit can store the generated property information in a database and utilize it for future property proposals and user support. This allows the generation unit to efficiently generate optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, improving the overall performance of the system.

[0032] The proposal unit makes suggestions to relax the conditions based on the property information generated by the generation unit. For example, the proposal unit may suggest increasing the number of available properties by relaxing the user's conditions. Specifically, the proposal unit can suggest relaxing the condition from "within 10 minutes' walk from the station" to "within 11 minutes' walk." It can also suggest changing "south-facing" to "southwest-facing" or "southeast-facing." The proposal unit uses an algorithm to suggest the optimal relaxation conditions based on the user's desired conditions. For example, the proposal unit analyzes the user's desired conditions and calculates how much the number of available properties will increase with the relaxation conditions. This allows the proposal unit to suggest the optimal relaxation conditions to the user. The proposal unit can also suggest relaxation conditions based on the user's lifestyle. For example, if the user answers that they "own a pet," the proposal unit will suggest relaxation conditions to prioritize properties suitable for pets. Furthermore, the proposal unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its suggestions. For example, it can analyze how the user reacted to the suggested relaxation conditions and reflect this in future suggestions. This allows the proposal department to suggest optimal relaxation conditions based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, thereby increasing the number of available properties. Furthermore, the proposal department can save the suggested relaxation conditions in a database and utilize them for future property suggestions and user support. As a result, the proposal department can efficiently suggest optimal relaxation conditions based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, improving the overall performance of the system.

[0033] The provisioning department provides users with property information proposed by the suggestion department. For example, the provisioning department notifies users of property information proposed by the generation AI. Specifically, the provisioning department can provide users with property information through channels such as messaging apps. For example, the provisioning department can notify users via messaging apps when a new property matching the user's desired conditions is registered. The provisioning department uses algorithms to provide optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. For example, the provisioning department analyzes the user's desired conditions and selects the most suitable property information. The provisioning department also considers the surrounding environment and facility information of the property based on the user's lifestyle. For example, if a user answers that they "own a pet," the provisioning department will prioritize providing properties that are close to pet-friendly parks or veterinary clinics. Furthermore, the provisioning department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the provided content. For example, it can analyze how users reacted to the provided property information and reflect this in the next provision. In this way, the provisioning department can provide optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, thereby improving user satisfaction. Furthermore, the service provider can store the provided property information in a database and utilize it for future property recommendations and user support. This allows the service provider to efficiently provide optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, thereby improving the overall system performance.

[0034] The reception desk can receive user input. For example, when a user enters their desired conditions for buying or renting a home, the reception desk can provide methods such as text input, voice input, and selection from a list of options. For example, the reception desk can accept a user's text input of "within a 10-minute walk from the station." It can also accept a user's voice input of "facing south." Furthermore, the reception desk can accept a user's selection of "budget under 5 million yen" from a list of options. This allows the reception desk to conduct detailed interviews by receiving user input. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's voice input into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the conversion from voice data to text data.

[0035] The notification unit can notify the user. For example, the notification unit can provide methods such as email notifications, push notifications, and SMS notifications to quickly inform the user of suggestions to relax the conditions. For example, the notification unit can notify the user by email that "By relaxing the condition from within a 10-minute walk from the station to within an 11-minute walk, the number of eligible properties will increase." The notification unit can also notify the user by push notification that "By changing the orientation from south-facing to southwest-facing or southeast-facing, you can increase the number of eligible properties even while lowering the rent." Furthermore, the notification unit can notify the user by SMS notification that "By increasing the budget from 5 million yen to 5.5 million yen, you can consider more properties." In this way, the notification unit can quickly inform the user of suggestions to relax the conditions by notifying them. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the notification unit can input the user's suggestion to relax the conditions into a generating AI, the generating AI can generate the suggestion content, and the notification unit can notify the user.

[0036] The generation unit can refer to a property information database and extract properties that match the user's criteria. For example, the generation unit can search the property information database and extract properties that match the user's desired conditions. For example, the generation unit can extract properties that meet the conditions of "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget of 5 million yen or less." The generation unit can also extract the latest property information based on the update frequency of the property information database. For example, if the property information database is updated daily, the generation unit will extract the latest property information. In this way, the generation unit can extract properties that match the user's criteria by referring to the property information database. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the property information database into a generation AI, and the generation AI can extract properties that match the user's criteria.

[0037] The proposal department can make suggestions to relax the user's conditions. For example, the proposal department can make suggestions to increase the number of eligible properties by relaxing the user's conditions. For example, the proposal department can make suggestions to relax the condition from "within 10 minutes' walk from the station" to "within 11 minutes' walk." The proposal department can also make suggestions to change "south-facing" to "southwest-facing" or "southeast-facing." Furthermore, the proposal department can make suggestions to "increase the budget from 5 million yen to 5.5 million yen." In this way, the proposal department can increase the number of eligible properties by making suggestions to relax the user's conditions. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal department may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the proposal department can input the user's conditions into a generating AI, and the generating AI can generate suggestions to relax the conditions.

[0038] The service provider can provide users with the most suitable property information. For example, the service provider can notify users of property information suggested by a generation AI. The service provider can provide users with property information through channels such as messaging apps. For example, the service provider can notify users via a messaging app when a new property matching the user's desired conditions is registered. The service provider can also notify users via email when a property matching the user's desired conditions is found. Furthermore, the service provider can notify users within the app when a property matching the user's desired conditions is found. In this way, the service provider can improve user satisfaction by providing users with the most suitable property information. Some or all of the above processes in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can notify users of property information suggested by a generation AI.

[0039] The interviewing unit can analyze the user's past interview history and select the optimal interviewing method. For example, the interviewing unit may prioritize using question formats that the user has preferred in the past. For example, the interviewing unit may refer to the types of questions that the user found easier to answer in the past. The interviewing unit can also conduct interviews at specific time periods based on the user's past interview history. For example, the interviewing unit may conduct interviews at times when the user was most relaxed in the past. In this way, the interviewing unit can select the optimal interviewing method by analyzing the user's past interview history. Some or all of the above processing in the interviewing unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the interviewing unit can input the user's past interview history data into a generating AI, which can then select the optimal interviewing method.

[0040] The interviewing unit can customize the questions asked during the interview based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest. For example, if the user is raising children, the interviewing unit will ask questions about a suitable environment for children. For example, if the user has pets, the interviewing unit will ask questions about properties suitable for pets. Also, if the user has hobbies, the interviewing unit can ask questions about properties near facilities related to those hobbies. In this way, the interviewing unit can collect more appropriate information by customizing the questions based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the interviewing unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the interviewing unit can input the user's living situation data into a generating AI, which can then customize the questions.

[0041] The interviewing unit can prioritize asking highly relevant questions during the interview, taking into account the user's geographical location. For example, if the user lives in a specific region, the interviewing unit will ask questions related to that region. For example, if the user is interested in a specific region, the interviewing unit will ask questions related to that region. Furthermore, if the user plans to move to a specific region, the interviewing unit can also ask questions related to that region. In this way, the interviewing unit can prioritize asking highly relevant questions by taking into account the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the interviewing unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the interviewing unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generating AI, which can then generate highly relevant questions.

[0042] The interviewing unit can analyze the user's social media activity during the interview and ask relevant questions. For example, the interviewing unit can ask questions about properties the user is interested in based on information the user has shared on social media. For example, the interviewing unit can ask questions about relevant properties based on information about accounts the user follows on social media. The interviewing unit can also ask questions about relevant properties based on information about groups the user participates in on social media. In this way, the interviewing unit can ask relevant questions by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the interviewing unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the interviewing unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI, which can then generate relevant questions.

[0043] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail in the generated information based on the importance of the property. For example, the generation unit provides detailed information for important properties. For example, it provides concise information for properties of low importance. It can also provide information of a moderate level of detail for properties of moderate importance. In this way, the generation unit can provide more appropriate information by adjusting the level of detail in the generated information based on the importance of the property. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input property importance data into a generation AI, and the generation AI can adjust the level of detail in the generated information.

[0044] The generation unit can apply different generation algorithms depending on the property category during generation. For example, for rental properties, the generation unit applies a generation algorithm specifically for rentals. For example, for purchase properties, the generation unit applies a generation algorithm specifically for purchases. Furthermore, the generation unit can also apply a generation algorithm specifically for commercial properties. In this way, the generation unit can provide more appropriate information by applying different generation algorithms depending on the property category. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input property category data into a generation AI, and the generation AI can apply different generation algorithms.

[0045] The generation unit can determine the generation priority based on the property registration date during generation. For example, the generation unit will prioritize the generation of newly registered properties. For example, the generation unit will lower the priority of properties that have been registered for a certain period of time. The generation unit can also adjust the generation priority according to the registration date. This allows the generation unit to provide more appropriate information by determining the generation priority based on the property registration date. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input property registration date data into a generation AI, and the generation AI can determine the generation priority.

[0046] The generation unit can adjust the generation order based on the relevance of properties during the generation process. For example, the generation unit may prioritize generating properties that are most relevant to the user's desired conditions. For example, the generation unit may postpone the generation of properties with low relevance. The generation unit can also adjust the generation order according to relevance. In this way, the generation unit can provide more appropriate information by adjusting the generation order based on the relevance of properties.

[0059] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0060] The home search system can also include a history analysis unit that analyzes the user's past search history. The history analysis unit analyzes the properties and conditions the user has searched for in the past to understand the user's preferences and tendencies. For example, the history analysis unit can extract the characteristics of properties the user has searched for in the past and preferentially suggest similar properties. The history analysis unit can also suggest relaxing the conditions based on the conditions the user has searched for in the past. Furthermore, the history analysis unit can refer to the ratings of properties the user has searched for in the past and preferentially suggest properties with high ratings. In this way, the history analysis unit can provide more appropriate property information by analyzing the user's past search history.

[0061] The home search system can also include a lifestyle analysis unit that understands the user's current living situation.

[0066] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0067] Step 1: The interviewing department conducts detailed interviews to understand the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. For example, when a user enters their desired conditions for buying or renting a home, a conversational AI agent is used to ask detailed questions. Specifically, questions such as "How many minutes' walk from the station do you prefer?", "What is your budget?", "Do you have pets?", and "Do you have children?" can be asked. Step 2: The generation unit generates optimal property information based on the information gathered by the interviewing unit. The generation unit uses a generation AI to extract properties that match the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. For example, it searches for properties that meet the conditions of "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget under 5 million yen." Step 3: The proposal unit makes suggestions to relax the conditions based on the property information generated by the generation unit. The proposal unit makes suggestions to increase the number of target properties by relaxing the user's conditions. For example, it can make suggestions to relax "within 10 minutes' walk from the station" to "within 11 minutes' walk," or to change "south-facing" to "southwest-facing" or "southeast-facing." Step 4: The provisioning unit provides the user with the property information proposed by the suggestioning unit. The provisioning unit notifies the user of the property information proposed by the generation AI. For example, the property information can be provided to the user through channels such as messaging apps.

[0068] (Example of form 2) The Home Search System according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a conversational AI agent to conduct detailed interviews with users considering purchasing or renting a home, and utilizes a generative AI to provide personalized property recommendations. The Home Search System provides a supportive experience that allows users to relax their conditions based on their priorities, helping them find the optimal home. For example, the Home Search System allows users to input their desired conditions for purchasing or renting a home into the conversational AI agent. For example, they might input conditions such as "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget under 5 million yen." The conversational AI agent conducts detailed interviews with the user about their desired conditions and lifestyle and provides this information to the generative AI. Next, the Home Search System allows the generative AI to generate optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. The generative AI refers to a property information database and extracts properties that match the user's conditions. For example, it extracts properties that match the conditions "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget under 5 million yen." Furthermore, the Home Search System allows the generative AI to suggest ways to relax the user's conditions. For example, by relaxing the requirement from "within a 10-minute walk from the station" to "within an 11-minute walk," the number of eligible properties increases. Also, by changing the requirement from "south-facing" to "southwest-facing" or "southeast-facing," the number of eligible properties can be increased even with a lower rent. Finally, the home search system uses a generating AI to provide users with the most suitable property information. Users can review the property information suggested by the generating AI and select properties that meet their criteria. Furthermore, when a new property matching the criteria is registered, the generating AI notifies the user through channels such as messaging apps. This system supports users in efficiently searching for their ideal home and finding the most suitable property within their budget. For example, relaxing the requirement from "within a 10-minute walk from the station" to "within an 11-minute walk" increases the number of eligible properties, giving users more options. Also, by including "southwest-facing" and "southeast-facing" in addition to "south-facing," the number of eligible properties can be increased even with a lower rent. This allows users to find the best property within their budget, increasing their satisfaction.This allows the home search system to provide optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle.

[0069] The home search system according to this embodiment comprises a hearing unit, a generation unit, a proposal unit, and a provision unit. The hearing unit conducts detailed interviews about the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. For example, when the user inputs their desired conditions for buying or renting a home, the hearing unit uses a conversational AI agent to ask detailed questions. For example, the hearing unit can ask the user questions such as, "How many minutes' walk from the station do you want?" or "What is your budget?" The hearing unit also asks questions about the user's lifestyle. For example, the hearing unit can ask questions such as, "Do you have pets?" or "Do you have children?" The generation unit generates optimal property information based on the information gathered by the hearing unit. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to extract properties that match the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. The generation unit refers to a property information database and searches for properties that match the user's conditions. For example, the generation unit can extract properties that meet the conditions "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget under 5 million yen." The suggestion unit makes suggestions to relax the conditions based on the property information generated by the generation unit. For example, the suggestion unit may suggest increasing the number of target properties by relaxing the user's conditions. For example, the suggestion unit may suggest relaxing "within a 10-minute walk from the station" to "within an 11-minute walk." The suggestion unit may also suggest changing "south-facing" to "southwest-facing" or "southeast-facing." The provision unit provides the user with the property information suggested by the suggestion unit. For example, the provision unit may notify the user of the property information suggested by the generation AI. The provision unit can provide property information to the user through channels such as messaging apps. For example, the provision unit can notify the user via a messaging app when a new property matching the user's desired conditions is registered. As a result, the home search system according to this embodiment can provide optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle.

[0070] The interviewing unit conducts detailed interviews to understand the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. For example, when a user enters their desired conditions for buying or renting a home, the interviewing unit uses a conversational AI agent to ask detailed questions. Specifically, the interviewing unit can ask the user questions such as, "How many minutes' walk from the station do you want?" or "What is your budget?" This allows the unit to accurately understand the user's specific desired conditions. The interviewing unit also asks questions about the user's lifestyle. For example, by asking questions such as, "Do you have pets?" or "Do you have children?", the unit gathers information to suggest properties that suit the user's lifestyle. Furthermore, the interviewing unit can ask additional questions based on the user's answers. For example, if the user answers, "I have pets," the interviewing unit will ask detailed questions such as, "What kind and how big are your pets?" to gather information to suggest properties suitable for pets. The interviewing unit also analyzes the user's answers in real time and provides information to the generation unit to suggest the most suitable properties based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. This allows the interviewing department to thoroughly understand the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, and collect basic information to propose the most suitable properties. Furthermore, the interviewing department can store the user's responses in a database and use them for future property proposals and user support. As a result, the interviewing department can efficiently collect information to propose the most suitable properties based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, thereby improving the overall performance of the system.

[0071] The generation unit generates optimal property information based on the information gathered by the interviewing unit. For example, the generation unit uses generation AI to extract properties that match the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. Specifically, the generation unit refers to a property information database and searches for properties that match the user's conditions. For example, the generation unit can extract properties that meet the conditions of "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget of 5 million yen or less." The generation AI analyzes the user's desired conditions and uses an algorithm to select the optimal property from the property information database. For example, the generation AI selects the optimal property by weighting the user's desired conditions and calculating a score for each property. The generation unit also considers the surrounding environment and facility information of the property based on the user's lifestyle. For example, if the user answers that they "own a pet," the generation unit will prioritize extracting properties that are close to parks or veterinary clinics suitable for pets. Furthermore, if the generation unit cannot find a property that matches the user's desired conditions, it can suggest relaxing the conditions. For example, relaxing the condition from "within a 10-minute walk from the station" to "within a 15-minute walk" can increase the number of eligible properties. This allows the generation unit to generate optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle and provide it to the proposal unit. Furthermore, the generation unit can store the generated property information in a database and utilize it for future property proposals and user support. This allows the generation unit to efficiently generate optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, improving the overall performance of the system.

[0072] The proposal unit makes suggestions to relax the conditions based on the property information generated by the generation unit. For example, the proposal unit may suggest increasing the number of available properties by relaxing the user's conditions. Specifically, the proposal unit can suggest relaxing the condition from "within 10 minutes' walk from the station" to "within 11 minutes' walk." It can also suggest changing "south-facing" to "southwest-facing" or "southeast-facing." The proposal unit uses an algorithm to suggest the optimal relaxation conditions based on the user's desired conditions. For example, the proposal unit analyzes the user's desired conditions and calculates how much the number of available properties will increase with the relaxation conditions. This allows the proposal unit to suggest the optimal relaxation conditions to the user. The proposal unit can also suggest relaxation conditions based on the user's lifestyle. For example, if the user answers that they "own a pet," the proposal unit will suggest relaxation conditions to prioritize properties suitable for pets. Furthermore, the proposal unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its suggestions. For example, it can analyze how the user reacted to the suggested relaxation conditions and reflect this in future suggestions. This allows the proposal department to suggest optimal relaxation conditions based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, thereby increasing the number of available properties. Furthermore, the proposal department can save the suggested relaxation conditions in a database and utilize them for future property suggestions and user support. As a result, the proposal department can efficiently suggest optimal relaxation conditions based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, improving the overall performance of the system.

[0073] The provisioning department provides users with property information proposed by the suggestion department. For example, the provisioning department notifies users of property information proposed by the generation AI. Specifically, the provisioning department can provide users with property information through channels such as messaging apps. For example, the provisioning department can notify users via messaging apps when a new property matching the user's desired conditions is registered. The provisioning department uses algorithms to provide optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. For example, the provisioning department analyzes the user's desired conditions and selects the most suitable property information. The provisioning department also considers the surrounding environment and facility information of the property based on the user's lifestyle. For example, if a user answers that they "own a pet," the provisioning department will prioritize providing properties that are close to pet-friendly parks or veterinary clinics. Furthermore, the provisioning department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the provided content. For example, it can analyze how users reacted to the provided property information and reflect this in the next provision. In this way, the provisioning department can provide optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, thereby improving user satisfaction. Furthermore, the service provider can store the provided property information in a database and utilize it for future property recommendations and user support. This allows the service provider to efficiently provide optimal property information based on the user's desired conditions and lifestyle, thereby improving the overall system performance.

[0074] The reception desk can receive user input. For example, when a user enters their desired conditions for buying or renting a home, the reception desk can provide methods such as text input, voice input, and selection from a list of options. For example, the reception desk can accept a user's text input of "within a 10-minute walk from the station." It can also accept a user's voice input of "facing south." Furthermore, the reception desk can accept a user's selection of "budget under 5 million yen" from a list of options. This allows the reception desk to conduct detailed interviews by receiving user input. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's voice input into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the conversion from voice data to text data.

[0075] The notification unit can notify the user. For example, the notification unit can provide methods such as email notifications, push notifications, and SMS notifications to quickly inform the user of suggestions to relax the conditions. For example, the notification unit can notify the user by email that "By relaxing the condition from within a 10-minute walk from the station to within an 11-minute walk, the number of eligible properties will increase." The notification unit can also notify the user by push notification that "By changing the orientation from south-facing to southwest-facing or southeast-facing, you can increase the number of eligible properties even while lowering the rent." Furthermore, the notification unit can notify the user by SMS notification that "By increasing the budget from 5 million yen to 5.5 million yen, you can consider more properties." In this way, the notification unit can quickly inform the user of suggestions to relax the conditions by notifying them. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the notification unit can input the user's suggestion to relax the conditions into a generating AI, the generating AI can generate the suggestion content, and the notification unit can notify the user.

[0076] The generation unit can refer to a property information database and extract properties that match the user's criteria. For example, the generation unit can search the property information database and extract properties that match the user's desired conditions. For example, the generation unit can extract properties that meet the conditions of "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget of 5 million yen or less." The generation unit can also extract the latest property information based on the update frequency of the property information database. For example, if the property information database is updated daily, the generation unit will extract the latest property information. In this way, the generation unit can extract properties that match the user's criteria by referring to the property information database. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the property information database into a generation AI, and the generation AI can extract properties that match the user's criteria.

[0077] The proposal department can make suggestions to relax the user's conditions. For example, the proposal department can make suggestions to increase the number of eligible properties by relaxing the user's conditions. For example, the proposal department can make suggestions to relax the condition from "within 10 minutes' walk from the station" to "within 11 minutes' walk." The proposal department can also make suggestions to change "south-facing" to "southwest-facing" or "southeast-facing." Furthermore, the proposal department can make suggestions to "increase the budget from 5 million yen to 5.5 million yen." In this way, the proposal department can increase the number of eligible properties by making suggestions to relax the user's conditions. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal department may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the proposal department can input the user's conditions into a generating AI, and the generating AI can generate suggestions to relax the conditions.

[0078] The service provider can provide users with the most suitable property information. For example, the service provider can notify users of property information suggested by a generation AI. The service provider can provide users with property information through channels such as messaging apps. For example, the service provider can notify users via a messaging app when a new property matching the user's desired conditions is registered. The service provider can also notify users via email when a property matching the user's desired conditions is found. Furthermore, the service provider can notify users within the app when a property matching the user's desired conditions is found. In this way, the service provider can improve user satisfaction by providing users with the most suitable property information. Some or all of the above processes in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can notify users of property information suggested by a generation AI.

[0079] The interviewing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing and method of the interview based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the interviewing unit may delay the interview and ask questions in a relaxed state. For example, if the user is relaxed, the interviewing unit may ask detailed questions and collect more information. Also, if the user is in a hurry, the interviewing unit may ask concise questions and collect information quickly. In this way, the interviewing unit can conduct more effective interviews by adjusting the timing and method of the interview based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the interviewing unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the interviewing unit can input the user's facial expression data into a generating AI, which can then estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing and method of the interview.

[0080] The interviewing unit can analyze the user's past interview history and select the optimal interviewing method. For example, the interviewing unit may prioritize using question formats that the user has preferred in the past. For example, the interviewing unit may refer to the types of questions that the user found easier to answer in the past. The interviewing unit can also conduct interviews at specific time periods based on the user's past interview history. For example, the interviewing unit may conduct interviews at times when the user was most relaxed in the past. In this way, the interviewing unit can select the optimal interviewing method by analyzing the user's past interview history. Some or all of the above processing in the interviewing unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the interviewing unit can input the user's past interview history data into a generating AI, which can then select the optimal interviewing method.

[0081] The interviewing unit can customize the questions asked during the interview based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest.

Specifically, questions such as "How many minutes' walk from the station do you prefer?", "What is your budget?", "Do you have pets?", and "Do you have children?" can be asked. Step 2: The generation unit generates optimal property information based on the information gathered by the interviewing unit. The generation unit uses a generation AI to extract properties that match the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. For example, it searches for properties that meet the conditions of "within a 10-minute walk from the station," "south-facing," and "budget under 5 million yen." Step 3: The proposal unit makes suggestions to relax the conditions based on the property information generated by the generation unit. The proposal unit makes suggestions to increase the number of target properties by relaxing the user's conditions. For example, it can make suggestions to relax "within 10 minutes' walk from the station" to "within 11 minutes' walk," or to change "south-facing" to "southwest-facing" or "southeast-facing." Step 4: The provisioning unit provides the user with the property information proposed by the suggestioning unit. The provisioning unit notifies the user of the property information proposed by the generation AI. For example, the property information can be provided to the user through channels such as messaging apps.

Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each of the above parts 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.Furthermore, processing performed by AI, including generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI, including generative AI.

[0175] 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.

[0176] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the hearing unit, generation unit, proposal unit, provision unit, reception unit, and notification unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the hearing unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and conducts a detailed hearing of the user's desired conditions and lifestyle. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates optimal property information. The proposal unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and makes a proposal to relax the conditions. The provision unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides property information to the user. The reception unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives user input. The notification unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and notifies the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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."

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

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