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 system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a mechanism that leverages an AI agent to promote understanding and use of cashless app services, thereby maximizing the value of cashless apps to customers. This system begins when a user activates the cashless app assistant mode and selects the option "I want help using cashless apps as effectively as possible." Next, the AI agent asks a series of questions to understand the user's interests and provides a list of cashless app services that the user might be interested in. The AI agent then proposes a customized approach, and if the user answers "yes," the AI agent sets up each service. Once the process is complete, the AI agent provides a summary of what has been done. For example, a user activates the cashless app assistant mode by long-pressing any smart icon. Next, the option "I want help using cashless apps as effectively as possible" is displayed. When this option is tapped, the AI agent asks a series of questions to understand the user's interests. For example, it asks if the user wants to learn about different types of insurance, coupons, investments, financial hacks, etc. Based on the answers to the questions, the AI agent provides a list of cashless app services that the user might be interested in. This list displays smart apps that meet the user's needs and clearly and concisely explains how they can be helpful. Next, the AI agent asks the user if they would like a customized approach to using cashless app services like a pro. If the user answers "yes," the AI agent creates a custom plan aimed at making all services work together most effectively to benefit the user. For example, the AI agent might say: "Great style! It looks like you want to save money, make sure every yen works, and have insurance to cover various situations. I'll help you understand how to use all the services in the cashless app as effectively as possible, and I'll make it very easy for you.""Okay, let's get started!" The user is presented with a plan and a clear explanation of the value it will provide. From here, the user is asked if they would like help setting up each service, and if they answer "yes," the AI agent works to set up each service one by one. The progress of each task is displayed through animations in which the assistant struggles on screen, often with humor. Various smart icons are displayed on the screen to help the user understand which services are being set up. If the user's cooperation is needed (for example, entering personal information), the AI agent will let the user know, making the process clear, easy, and enjoyable. The user should feel that the assistant is taking on all the hard work and making it easier for them to save money and get the most out of their cashless app tools. Once the process is complete, the AI agent provides a summary of what has been done. For example: "Great! You are now a power user of the cashless app! (The cashless app assistant cheers enthusiastically) You've been registered to save the most money on your purchases, travel insurance is available soon, and you're ready to start investing right away! Here are some tips on how to use all of these services together each week to get the most out of your cashless app! This allows the system to create a customized plan based on your input, set up each service, and notify you of your progress."
[0029] The system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a questioning unit, a plan creation unit, a setup unit, and a notification unit. The reception unit receives input from the user. For example, the reception unit can receive input when the user long-presses a smart icon. The reception unit can also receive information from the user through voice input or text input. For example, the reception unit can receive information when the user says by voice, "I want to use a cashless app effectively." The questioning unit asks questions to understand the user's interests based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the questioning unit asks questions to understand whether the user wants to learn about various types of insurance, coupons, investments, financial hacks, etc. The questioning unit can dynamically adjust subsequent questions based on the user's answers. For example, if the questioning unit answers that the user is interested in insurance, it can ask detailed questions about insurance. The plan creation unit creates a customized plan based on the answers obtained by the questioning unit. For example, the plan creation unit provides a list of cashless app services that the user might be interested in. The plan creation unit can propose the most suitable service to meet the user's needs. For example, if the plan creation unit responds that the user is interested in investing, it will list cashless app services related to investing. The setup unit will set up each service based on the plan created by the plan creation unit. The setup unit will, for example, ask the user if they would like help setting up each service, and if the user answers "yes," it will set up each service one by one. The setup unit can notify the user when their cooperation is needed. For example, the setup unit will notify the user if they need to enter personal information. The notification unit will notify the user of the progress of the services set up by the setup unit. The notification unit will, for example, display the progress of each task through animation. The notification unit can visually show the user what stage the process is at. For example, the notification unit will display an animation on the screen of an assistant struggling with fun jokes.As a result, the system according to the embodiment can create a customized plan based on user input, set up each service, and notify the user of its progress.
[0030] The reception unit receives input from users. For example, the reception unit can receive input when a user long-presses a smart icon. The reception unit can also receive information from users through voice input and text input. Specifically, by long-pressing a smart icon, users can directly interact with the system. In the case of voice input, users simply speak into the microphone, and the system recognizes the voice, converts it to text, and processes it. For example, if a user voice-inputs "I want to use the cashless app effectively," that voice is converted to text using speech recognition technology and taken into the system. In the case of text input, users can directly input text using a keyboard or touchscreen. This allows the reception unit to support diverse input methods and improve user convenience. Furthermore, the reception unit analyzes the user's input and performs pre-processing to ensure appropriate processing. For example, in the case of voice input, noise reduction and speech normalization are performed, and in the case of text input, spell checking and grammatical analysis are performed to improve the quality of the input data. This allows the reception unit to receive user input accurately and efficiently.
[0031] The questioning unit asks questions to understand the user's interests based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the questioning unit asks questions to understand whether the user wants to learn about various types of insurance, coupons, investments, financial hacks, etc. Specifically, the questioning unit analyzes the user's input and generates questions to identify the user's interests and concerns. For example, if the user answers "I'm interested in insurance," the questioning unit can ask more detailed questions such as "What types of insurance are you interested in?" or "Do you have any specific questions about insurance?" The questioning unit can dynamically adjust the next questions based on the user's answers. For example, if the user answers "I'm interested in life insurance," the questioning unit can ask questions such as "What aspects of life insurance are you interested in?" or "Are you looking for specific information about life insurance?" This allows the questioning unit to ask appropriate questions tailored to the user's interests and concerns, accurately understanding the user's needs. Furthermore, the questioning unit can use AI to analyze the user's answers and optimize the next questions. For example, by using natural language processing technology to analyze user responses and generate relevant questions, it is possible to ask questions tailored to the user's interests and concerns. This allows the questioning unit to accurately understand the user's needs and collect information necessary to create a customized plan.
[0032] The planning department creates customized plans based on the answers obtained by the questioning department. For example, the planning department provides a list of cashless payment app services that the user might be interested in. Specifically, the planning department analyzes the user's responses and proposes the most suitable services based on the user's needs and interests. For example, if the user answers that they are interested in investing, the planning department will list cashless payment app services related to investing and explain the features and benefits of each service. The planning department can also propose combinations of services and usage methods to suit the user's needs. For example, if the user is interested in both insurance and investing, the planning department will create a plan that covers both insurance and investing and propose how to integrate and use each service. Furthermore, the planning department can use AI to predict user needs and create optimal plans. For example, by analyzing past user data using machine learning algorithms and predicting user behavior patterns and interests, it can create more accurate plans. This allows the planning department to provide customized plans tailored to user needs and improve user satisfaction.
[0033] The setup unit sets up each service based on the plan created by the plan creation unit. For example, the setup unit will ask the user if they need help setting up each service, and if the user answers "yes," it will set up each service one by one. Specifically, the setup unit will configure each service according to the user's instructions and input the necessary information. For example, if a user uses an investment service, the setup unit will input the user's personal information and investment information to complete the service setup. The setup unit can also notify the user if their cooperation is needed. For example, if the setup unit needs to input personal information, it will notify the user and explain how to input it and what information is required. Furthermore, after the setup of each service is complete, the setup unit will ask the user for confirmation and make corrections or additional settings as needed. This allows the setup unit to configure services to meet the user's needs and support a smooth start to using the services. In addition, the setup unit can optimize the setup process using AI to efficiently configure services. For example, by analyzing past setup data and proposing the optimal setup procedure, the setup process can be performed quickly and accurately. This allows the setup unit to reduce the burden on the user and support a smooth start to using the services.
[0034] The notification unit notifies users of the progress of services set up by the setup unit. For example, the notification unit displays the progress of each task through animation. Specifically, it uses progress bars and animations to visually indicate the stage of each service's setup. For instance, the notification unit might display an animation of an assistant humorously struggling on screen to inform the user of the process's progress. The notification unit can also send notifications to the user upon completion of each task, prompting them to proceed to the next step. For example, when service setup is complete, the notification unit might display a message such as, "Setup complete. Click here to proceed." Furthermore, the notification unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its notifications. For example, if a user provides feedback such as "It's easy to understand" or "I want more detailed information," the notification unit can adjust the notification based on that feedback to provide information tailored to the user's needs. This allows the notification unit to clearly communicate progress to the user and smoothly support service usage. Additionally, the notification unit can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, important information can be reliably delivered not only through smartphone notifications, but also through voice calls, SMS, and email. This allows the notification unit to quickly and reliably inform users of progress and support their use of the service.
[0035] The questioning unit can ask questions to understand whether the user wants to learn about various types of insurance, coupons, investments, financial hacks, etc. For example, the questioning unit might ask the user specific questions such as, "Do you want to learn about different types of insurance?", "Do you want to know how to use coupons?", "Are you interested in investing?", or "Do you want to learn about financial hacks?". Based on the user's answers, the questioning unit can dynamically adjust subsequent questions. For example, if the user answers that they are interested in insurance, the questioning unit can ask more detailed questions about insurance. This allows the questioning unit to ask specific questions to understand the user's interests. Some or all of the above processing in the questioning unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the questioning unit could input the user's answers into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute questions to understand the user's interests.
[0036] The plan creation unit can provide a list of cashless app services that the user might be interested in, based on the user's responses. For example, if the user responds that they are interested in insurance, the plan creation unit will list cashless app services related to insurance. The plan creation unit can also propose the most suitable service to meet the user's needs. For example, if the user responds that they are interested in investing, the plan creation unit will list cashless app services related to investing. Furthermore, if the user responds that they are interested in coupons, the plan creation unit can also list cashless app services related to coupons. This allows the plan creation unit to provide a list of appropriate services based on the user's interests. Some or all of the above processing in the plan creation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the plan creation unit can input the user's responses into a generating AI and have the AI generate a list of services that the user might be interested in.
[0037] The setup unit can ask the user if they need help setting up each service, and if the user answers "yes," it can set up each service one by one. For example, the setup unit can ask the user, "Do you need help setting up this service?" and if the user answers "yes," it will start setting up that service. The setup unit can notify the user when their cooperation is needed. For example, the setup unit will notify the user if they need to enter personal information. The setup unit can also visually display the setup procedure for each service. For example, the setup unit can display an animation on the screen in which an assistant struggles with humor and jokes. This allows the setup unit to set up each service according to the user's requests. Some or all of the above processes in the setup unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the setup unit can input user input into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the setup of each service.
[0038] The notification unit can display the progress of each task through animation. For example, the notification unit can use progress bars or icon movements to visually indicate the progress of each task. The notification unit can visually show the user what stage the process is in. For example, the notification unit can display an animation on the screen in which the assistant struggles with humorous jokes. The notification unit can also display the completion rate of each task. For example, the notification unit can use a progress bar to indicate the completion rate of a task. In this way, the notification unit can notify the user in an easy-to-understand manner by visually displaying the progress of each task. 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 progress of each task into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the display of the progress.
[0039] The notification unit can inform the user when their cooperation is needed, making the process clear, simple, and enjoyable. For example, the notification unit can display specific instructions to the user, such as "Please enter this information." The notification unit can provide guided steps when the user enters the necessary information. For example, the notification unit can use interactive elements to make the information entry process enjoyable for the user. The notification unit can also use animations or audio guidance to clarify the process when the user enters information. This allows the notification unit to clearly and simply inform the user when their cooperation is needed. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the notification unit can input user input into a generating AI and have the generating AI guide the process.
[0040] The reception desk can analyze the user's past input history and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception desk can prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception desk can automatically complete relevant input fields by referring to the content the user has entered in the past. Furthermore, the reception desk can predict and suggest input methods to be used during specific time periods based on the user's past input history. This allows the reception desk to select the optimal reception method based on the user's past input history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past input history into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal reception method.
[0041] The reception unit can filter input based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. For example, the reception unit can prioritize displaying relevant input items based on the user's current situation (e.g., traveling). The reception unit can filter relevant input items based on the user's areas of interest (e.g., investing). The reception unit can also suggest the most suitable input items by combining the user's current situation and areas of interest. This allows the reception unit to filter input items based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can input data on the user's current situation and areas of interest into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0042] The reception unit can prioritize accepting inputs that are highly relevant, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the reception unit can prioritize accepting inputs related to that region. If the user is traveling, the reception unit can prioritize accepting inputs related to the travel destination. Also, if the user is at home, the reception unit can prioritize accepting inputs related to home. In this way, the reception unit can prioritize accepting inputs that are highly relevant based on the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI select highly relevant inputs.
[0043] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and accept relevant inputs when receiving input. For example, the reception unit can prioritize accepting relevant inputs based on information the user has shared on social media. The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity history and suggest relevant inputs. The reception unit can also accept relevant inputs based on information about accounts the user follows on social media. In this way, the reception unit can accept relevant inputs based on the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit can input data on the user's social media activity into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the acceptance of relevant inputs.
[0044] The questioning unit can adjust the level of detail of questions based on the user's level of interest. For example, if the user shows a strong interest in a particular topic, the questioning unit can ask detailed questions. If the user shows interest in a broad range of topics, the questioning unit can ask general questions. Furthermore, if the user has little interest in a particular topic, the questioning unit can ask concise questions. In this way, the questioning unit can adjust the level of detail of questions according to the user's level of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the questioning unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the questioning unit can input user interest data into a generating AI and have the generating AI adjust the level of detail of the questions.
[0045] The questioning unit can apply different questioning algorithms depending on the user's category when a question is asked. For example, if the user belongs to the business category, the questioning unit can apply a business-related questioning algorithm. If the user belongs to the entertainment category, the questioning unit can apply an entertainment-related questioning algorithm. Furthermore, if the user belongs to the education category, the questioning unit can apply an education-related questioning algorithm. In this way, the questioning unit can apply an appropriate questioning algorithm according to the user's category. Some or all of the above processing in the questioning unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the questioning unit can input user category data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the application of the questioning algorithm.
[0046] The questioning unit can determine the priority of questions based on the user's answer history when a question is asked. For example, the questioning unit can prioritize relevant questions based on the user's past answer history. The questioning unit can prioritize questions on specific topics from the user's answer history. Furthermore, the questioning unit can analyze the user's answer history and prioritize the most relevant questions. In this way, the questioning unit can determine the priority of questions based on the user's answer history. Some or all of the above processing in the questioning unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the questioning unit can input the user's answer history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the determination of question priorities.
[0047] The questioning unit can adjust the order of questions based on the user's relevance. For example, if the user shows a strong interest in a particular topic, the questioning unit will ask questions related to that topic first. If the user shows interest in a wide range of topics, the questioning unit can ask related questions in a sequential manner. Furthermore, the questioning unit can dynamically adjust the order of questions according to the degree of the user's interest. In this way, the questioning unit can adjust the order of questions based on the user's relevance. Some or all of the above processing in the questioning unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the questioning unit can input user relevance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the question order.

The setup unit can notify the user if their assistance is needed. Step 5: The notification unit notifies the user of the progress of the services set up by the setup unit. The notification unit can, for example, display the progress of each task through animation, visually showing the user which stage the process is in.
[0070] (Example of form 2) The system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a mechanism that leverages an AI agent to promote understanding and use of cashless app services, thereby maximizing the value of cashless apps to customers. This system begins when a user activates the cashless app assistant mode and selects the option "I want help using cashless apps as effectively as possible." Next, the AI agent asks a series of questions to understand the user's interests and provides a list of cashless app services that the user might be interested in. The AI agent then proposes a customized approach, and if the user answers "yes," the AI agent sets up each service. Once the process is complete, the AI agent provides a summary of what has been done. For example, a user activates the cashless app assistant mode by long-pressing any smart icon. Next, the option "I want help using cashless apps as effectively as possible" is displayed. When this option is tapped, the AI agent asks a series of questions to understand the user's interests. For example, it asks if the user wants to learn about different types of insurance, coupons, investments, financial hacks, etc. Based on the answers to the questions, the AI agent provides a list of cashless app services that the user might be interested in. This list displays smart apps that meet the user's needs and clearly and concisely explains how they can be helpful. Next, the AI agent asks the user if they would like a customized approach to using cashless app services like a pro. If the user answers "yes," the AI agent creates a custom plan aimed at making all services work together most effectively to benefit the user. For example, the AI agent might say: "Great style! It looks like you want to save money, make sure every yen works, and have insurance to cover various situations. I'll help you understand how to use all the services in the cashless app as effectively as possible, and I'll make it very easy for you.""Okay, let's get started!" The user is presented with a plan and a clear explanation of the value it will provide. From here, the user is asked if they would like help setting up each service, and if they answer "yes," the AI agent works to set up each service one by one. The progress of each task is displayed through animations in which the assistant struggles on screen, often with humor. Various smart icons are displayed on the screen to help the user understand which services are being set up. If the user's cooperation is needed (for example, entering personal information), the AI agent will let the user know, making the process clear, easy, and enjoyable. The user should feel that the assistant is taking on all the hard work and making it easier for them to save money and get the most out of their cashless app tools. Once the process is complete, the AI agent provides a summary of what has been done. For example: "Great! You are now a power user of the cashless app! (The cashless app assistant cheers enthusiastically) You've been registered to save the most money on your purchases, travel insurance is available soon, and you're ready to start investing right away! Here are some tips on how to use all of these services together each week to get the most out of your cashless app! This allows the system to create a customized plan based on your input, set up each service, and notify you of your progress."
[0071] The system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a questioning unit, a plan creation unit, a setup unit, and a notification unit. The reception unit receives input from the user. For example, the reception unit can receive input when the user long-presses a smart icon. The reception unit can also receive information from the user through voice input or text input. For example, the reception unit can receive information when the user says by voice, "I want to use a cashless app effectively." The questioning unit asks questions to understand the user's interests based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the questioning unit asks questions to understand whether the user wants to learn about various types of insurance, coupons, investments, financial hacks, etc. The questioning unit can dynamically adjust subsequent questions based on the user's answers. For example, if the questioning unit answers that the user is interested in insurance, it can ask detailed questions about insurance. The plan creation unit creates a customized plan based on the answers obtained by the questioning unit. For example, the plan creation unit provides a list of cashless app services that the user might be interested in. The plan creation unit can propose the most suitable service to meet the user's needs. For example, if the plan creation unit responds that the user is interested in investing, it will list cashless app services related to investing. The setup unit will set up each service based on the plan created by the plan creation unit. The setup unit will, for example, ask the user if they would like help setting up each service, and if the user answers "yes," it will set up each service one by one. The setup unit can notify the user when their cooperation is needed. For example, the setup unit will notify the user if they need to enter personal information. The notification unit will notify the user of the progress of the services set up by the setup unit. The notification unit will, for example, display the progress of each task through animation. The notification unit can visually show the user what stage the process is at. For example, the notification unit will display an animation on the screen of an assistant struggling with fun jokes.As a result, the system according to the embodiment can create a customized plan based on user input, set up each service, and notify the user of its progress.
[0072] The reception unit receives input from users. For example, the reception unit can receive input when a user long-presses a smart icon. The reception unit can also receive information from users through voice input and text input. Specifically, by long-pressing a smart icon, users can directly interact with the system. In the case of voice input, users simply speak into the microphone, and the system recognizes the voice, converts it to text, and processes it. For example, if a user voice-inputs "I want to use the cashless app effectively," that voice is converted to text using speech recognition technology and taken into the system. In the case of text input, users can directly input text using a keyboard or touchscreen. This allows the reception unit to support diverse input methods and improve user convenience. Furthermore, the reception unit analyzes the user's input and performs pre-processing to ensure appropriate processing. For example, in the case of voice input, noise reduction and speech normalization are performed, and in the case of text input, spell checking and grammatical analysis are performed to improve the quality of the input data. This allows the reception unit to receive user input accurately and efficiently.
[0073] The questioning unit asks questions to understand the user's interests based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the questioning unit asks questions to understand whether the user wants to learn about various types of insurance, coupons, investments, financial hacks, etc. Specifically, the questioning unit analyzes the user's input and generates questions to identify the user's interests and concerns. For example, if the user answers "I'm interested in insurance," the questioning unit can ask more detailed questions such as "What types of insurance are you interested in?" or "Do you have any specific questions about insurance?" The questioning unit can dynamically adjust the next questions based on the user's answers. For example, if the user answers "I'm interested in life insurance," the questioning unit can ask questions such as "What aspects of life insurance are you interested in?" or "Are you looking for specific information about life insurance?" This allows the questioning unit to ask appropriate questions tailored to the user's interests and concerns, accurately understanding the user's needs. Furthermore, the questioning unit can use AI to analyze the user's answers and optimize the next questions. For example, by using natural language processing technology to analyze user responses and generate relevant questions, it is possible to ask questions tailored to the user's interests and concerns. This allows the questioning unit to accurately understand the user's needs and collect information necessary to create a customized plan.
[0074] The planning department creates customized plans based on the answers obtained by the questioning department. For example, the planning department provides a list of cashless payment app services that the user might be interested in. Specifically, the planning department analyzes the user's responses and proposes the most suitable services based on the user's needs and interests. For example, if the user answers that they are interested in investing, the planning department will list cashless payment app services related to investing and explain the features and benefits of each service. The planning department can also propose combinations of services and usage methods to suit the user's needs. For example, if the user is interested in both insurance and investing, the planning department will create a plan that covers both insurance and investing and propose how to integrate and use each service. Furthermore, the planning department can use AI to predict user needs and create optimal plans. For example, by analyzing past user data using machine learning algorithms and predicting user behavior patterns and interests, it can create more accurate plans. This allows the planning department to provide customized plans tailored to user needs and improve user satisfaction.
[0075] The setup unit sets up each service based on the plan created by the plan creation unit. For example, the setup unit will ask the user if they need help setting up each service, and if the user answers "yes," it will set up each service one by one. Specifically, the setup unit will configure each service according to the user's instructions and input the necessary information. For example, if a user uses an investment service, the setup unit will input the user's personal information and investment information to complete the service setup. The setup unit can also notify the user if their cooperation is needed. For example, if the setup unit needs to input personal information, it will notify the user and explain how to input it and what information is required. Furthermore, after the setup of each service is complete, the setup unit will ask the user for confirmation and make corrections or additional settings as needed. This allows the setup unit to configure services to meet the user's needs and support a smooth start to using the services. In addition, the setup unit can optimize the setup process using AI to efficiently configure services. For example, by analyzing past setup data and proposing the optimal setup procedure, the setup process can be performed quickly and accurately. This allows the setup unit to reduce the burden on the user and support a smooth start to using the services.
[0076] The notification unit notifies users of the progress of services set up by the setup unit. For example, the notification unit displays the progress of each task through animation. Specifically, it uses progress bars and animations to visually indicate the stage of each service's setup. For instance, the notification unit might display an animation of an assistant humorously struggling on screen to inform the user of the process's progress. The notification unit can also send notifications to the user upon completion of each task, prompting them to proceed to the next step. For example, when service setup is complete, the notification unit might display a message such as, "Setup complete. Click here to proceed." Furthermore, the notification unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its notifications. For example, if a user provides feedback such as "It's easy to understand" or "I want more detailed information," the notification unit can adjust the notification based on that feedback to provide information tailored to the user's needs. This allows the notification unit to clearly communicate progress to the user and smoothly support service usage. Additionally, the notification unit can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, important information can be reliably delivered not only through smartphone notifications, but also through voice calls, SMS, and email. This allows the notification unit to quickly and reliably inform users of progress and support their use of the service.
[0077] The questioning unit can ask questions to understand whether the user wants to learn about various types of insurance, coupons, investments, financial hacks, etc. For example, the questioning unit might ask the user specific questions such as, "Do you want to learn about different types of insurance?", "Do you want to know how to use coupons?", "Are you interested in investing?", or "Do you want to learn about financial hacks?". Based on the user's answers, the questioning unit can dynamically adjust subsequent questions. For example, if the user answers that they are interested in insurance, the questioning unit can ask more detailed questions about insurance. This allows the questioning unit to ask specific questions to understand the user's interests. Some or all of the above processing in the questioning unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the questioning unit could input the user's answers into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute questions to understand the user's interests.
[0078] The plan creation unit can provide a list of cashless app services that the user might be interested in, based on the user's responses. For example, if the user responds that they are interested in insurance, the plan creation unit will list cashless app services related to insurance. The plan creation unit can also propose the most suitable service to meet the user's needs. For example, if the user responds that they are interested in investing, the plan creation unit will list cashless app services related to investing. Furthermore, if the user responds that they are interested in coupons, the plan creation unit can also list cashless app services related to coupons. This allows the plan creation unit to provide a list of appropriate services based on the user's interests. Some or all of the above processing in the plan creation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the plan creation unit can input the user's responses into a generating AI and have the AI generate a list of services that the user might be interested in.
[0079] The setup unit can ask the user if they need help setting up each service, and if the user answers "yes," it can set up each service one by one. For example, the setup unit can ask the user, "Do you need help setting up this service?" and if the user answers "yes," it will start setting up that service. The setup unit can notify the user when their cooperation is needed. For example, the setup unit will notify the user if they need to enter personal information. The setup unit can also visually display the setup procedure for each service. For example, the setup unit can display an animation on the screen in which an assistant struggles with humor and jokes. This allows the setup unit to set up each service according to the user's requests. Some or all of the above processes in the setup unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the setup unit can input user input into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the setup of each service.
[0080] The notification unit can display the progress of each task through animation. For example, the notification unit can use progress bars or icon movements to visually indicate the progress of each task. The notification unit can visually show the user what stage the process is in. For example, the notification unit can display an animation on the screen in which the assistant struggles with humorous jokes. The notification unit can also display the completion rate of each task. For example, the notification unit can use a progress bar to indicate the completion rate of a task. In this way, the notification unit can notify the user in an easy-to-understand manner by visually displaying the progress of each task. 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 progress of each task into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the display of the progress.
[0081] The notification unit can inform the user when their cooperation is needed, making the process clear, simple, and enjoyable. For example, the notification unit can display specific instructions to the user, such as "Please enter this information." The notification unit can provide guided steps when the user enters the necessary information. For example, the notification unit can use interactive elements to make the information entry process enjoyable for the user. The notification unit can also use animations or audio guidance to clarify the process when the user enters information. This allows the notification unit to clearly and simply inform the user when their cooperation is needed. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the notification unit can input user input into a generating AI and have the generating AI guide the process.
[0082] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of input acceptance based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the reception unit can delay the timing of input acceptance to give the user time to relax. If the user is excited, the reception unit can quickly accept input to maintain the user's excitement. Also, if the user is tired, the reception unit can adjust the timing of input acceptance to allow the user to take a break. In this way, the reception unit can adjust the timing of input acceptance according to 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 reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit can input user emotion data into the generative AI and have the generative AI adjust the timing of input acceptance.
[0083] The reception desk can analyze the user's past input history and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception desk can prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception desk can automatically complete relevant input fields by referring to the content the user has entered in the past. Furthermore, the reception desk can predict and suggest input methods to be used during specific time periods based on the user's past input history. This allows the reception desk to select the optimal reception method based on the user's past input history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past input history into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal reception method.
[0084] The reception unit can filter input based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. For example, the reception unit can prioritize displaying relevant input items based on the user's current situation (e.g., traveling). The reception unit can filter relevant input items based on the user's areas of interest (e.g., investing). The reception unit can also suggest the most suitable input items by combining the user's current situation and areas of interest. This allows the reception unit to filter input items based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can input data on the user's current situation and areas of interest into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0085] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of inputs to be received based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the reception unit will postpone less important inputs and prioritize more important ones. If the user is relaxed, the reception unit can process all inputs equally. Also, if the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can prioritize inputs that require quick processing. In this way, the reception unit can determine the priority of inputs according to 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 reception unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit can input user emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI determine the priority of inputs.
[0086] The reception unit can prioritize accepting inputs that are highly relevant, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the reception unit can prioritize accepting inputs related to that region.

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.

[0176] 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.
[0177] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, questioning unit, plan creation unit, setup unit, and notification unit, is implemented by 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 accepts input when the user long-presses a smart icon. The questioning unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and asks questions to understand the user's interests. The plan creation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and creates a customized plan. The setup unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and sets up each service. The notification unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and notifies the progress status. 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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."
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
