[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.

[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 task management agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generating AI to support the task management of company employees. In this task management agent system, employees input task details (deadline, importance, etc.), and the generating AI synchronizes with calendars and project management tools to analyze task deadlines, importance, and dependencies, thereby determining task priorities and providing reminders and priority advice. This allows employees to manage tasks efficiently and make effective use of their time. For example, an employee inputs task details (deadline, importance, etc.). At this time, information such as the task deadline, importance, and dependencies is entered. For example, for a task called "Create a report for Project A," the deadline is entered as "December 1, 2023," the importance as "High," and the dependency as "After completion of data collection for Project B." Next, the generating AI synchronizes with calendars and project management tools. For example, the generating AI collaborates with the calendar app or project management tool used by the employee to obtain task information. This allows the generating AI to understand the employee's schedule and project progress. The generating AI analyzes the task deadline, importance, and dependencies. For example, tasks with approaching deadlines or those with a significant impact on the project are prioritized. Tasks are also efficiently allocated, considering their work time and schedule consistency. The AI determines task priorities and provides reminders and priority advice. For instance, it might determine that the task "Create a report for Project A" has a high priority due to its approaching deadline and send a reminder. It also visualizes task progress, allowing employees to track their completion rate. This clarifies task priorities for employees, improving productivity. Furthermore, it prevents missed deadlines and reduces the risk of project delays. In addition, the automation of planning improves time efficiency. Thus, the task management agent system can streamline employee task management and support effective time management.
[0029] The task management agent system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a synchronization unit, an analysis unit, a decision unit, and a delivery unit. The reception unit receives task details from employees. When employees enter task details, they input information such as the task deadline, importance, and dependencies. For example, an employee might enter "Create report for Project A" as the deadline, "December 1, 2023", the importance as "High", and the dependencies as "After completion of data collection for Project B". The synchronization unit synchronizes the task details entered by the reception unit with a calendar or project management tool. For example, the generation AI works in conjunction with the calendar app or project management tool used by the employee to obtain task information. This allows the synchronization unit to understand the employee's schedule and project progress. The analysis unit analyzes the deadlines, importance, and dependencies of the tasks synchronized by the synchronization unit. For example, it prioritizes tasks with approaching deadlines or tasks that have a significant impact on the project. The analysis unit also considers the consistency of task work time and schedules to efficiently allocate tasks. The decision unit determines task priorities based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, it prioritizes tasks with approaching deadlines or those of high importance. The provision unit provides reminders and priority advice based on the priorities determined by the decision unit. For example, it determines that the task "Create a report for Project A" has a high priority because its deadline is approaching, and sends a reminder. The provision unit also visualizes the progress of tasks, allowing employees to understand their task completion rate. As a result, the task management agent system according to this embodiment can streamline employee task management and support the effective use of time.
[0030] The reception desk receives task details from employees. When employees enter task details, they input information such as the task deadline, importance level, and dependencies. Specifically, for a task like "Create a report for Project A," an employee might enter "December 1, 2023" as the deadline, "High" as the importance level, and "After completion of data collection for Project B" as the dependency level. The reception desk accurately receives this information and stores it within the system. Furthermore, the reception desk stores task details in a standardized format, making it easily accessible to other departments. For example, task details are stored in a database, and each task is assigned a unique identifier. This makes task tracking and management easier. The reception desk also performs error checking during task entry and provides feedback to prevent input errors and incomplete information. For example, if the deadline is a past date or the importance level is not entered, an error message is displayed, prompting the employee to correct it. This allows the reception desk to collect accurate and complete task information, improving the overall reliability of the system. Additionally, the reception desk provides support functions to reduce the burden on employees when entering tasks. For example, the system can automatically suggest similar tasks that have been entered in the past, making it easy for employees to select them. It can also utilize voice input and natural language processing technologies to allow employees to verbally input task details. This allows the reception department to streamline employee task entry and improve system utilization.
[0031] The synchronization unit synchronizes task details entered by the reception unit with calendars and project management tools. For example, the AI generates tasks in conjunction with the calendar and project management tools used by employees to retrieve task information. Specifically, the synchronization unit accesses calendar and project management tools via APIs and automatically synchronizes task details. This allows for monitoring of employee schedules and project progress. Furthermore, the synchronization unit synchronizes in real time when tasks are changed or updated, reflecting the latest information. For example, if a task deadline is changed or a new dependency is added, it is immediately reflected in the calendar and project management tools. This allows employees to always see the latest task information, making it easier to adjust schedules and prioritize tasks. The synchronization unit can also integrate and centrally manage multiple calendars and project management tools. For example, even if an employee is involved in multiple projects, all task information can be viewed in a single interface. This prevents duplication and inconsistencies in information across different tools, allowing employees to manage tasks efficiently. In addition, the synchronization unit monitors task progress in real time and sends alerts and notifications as needed. For example, if a task deadline is approaching or if dependent tasks are not completed, the system sends notifications to employees to prompt appropriate action. This allows the synchronous team to support employees' task management and prevent project delays and errors.
[0032] The analytics department analyzes the deadlines, importance, and dependencies of tasks synchronized by the synchronization department. Specifically, it prioritizes tasks with approaching deadlines and those with a significant impact on the project. The analytics department also considers the consistency of task work time and schedules to efficiently allocate tasks. For example, it uses AI to evaluate task importance and dependencies and determine the optimal task order. Based on historical data and statistics, the AI predicts the time and resources required to complete tasks and adjusts the schedule accordingly. This allows the analytics department to evenly distribute the workload among employees and efficiently advance tasks. Furthermore, the analytics department monitors task progress in real time and reallocates resources and adjusts schedules as needed. For example, if a particular task is behind schedule, it changes the priority of other tasks and concentrates resources. The analytics department also considers task dependencies to optimize the overall project progress. For example, if a dependent task is not completed, it adjusts the start of the next task. This allows the analytics department to minimize project delays and risks and support smooth progress. Furthermore, the analysis department simulates the impact of changes in task priorities and schedules, and proposes optimal countermeasures. For example, it evaluates the impact of changing the priority of a specific task and proposes an optimal schedule. In this way, the analysis department can support employees' task management and contribute to the success of projects.
[0033] The decision-making unit determines task priorities based on information analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it prioritizes tasks with approaching deadlines and those of high importance. The decision-making unit uses AI to automatically determine task priorities and notifies employees. For example, the AI calculates the optimal task order based on information such as task deadlines, importance, dependencies, and work time. This allows employees to work efficiently and prevent project delays and errors. Furthermore, the decision-making unit dynamically adjusts task priorities and responds to real-time changes. For example, if a new task is added or information on an existing task changes, the priority is immediately recalculated to reflect the latest information. This ensures that employees always work based on the most up-to-date priorities, enabling efficient work. The decision-making unit also collects feedback on task priorities and continuously improves its algorithms. For example, it reviews the priority determination criteria based on employee feedback to achieve more accurate prioritization. This allows the decision-making unit to provide flexible task management tailored to employee needs, improving system reliability and satisfaction. Furthermore, the decision-making unit optimizes resource allocation based on task priorities, improving overall project efficiency. For example, by concentrating resources on high-priority tasks and completing them quickly, it ensures smooth project progress. In this way, the decision-making unit can support employees' task management and contribute to project success.
[0034] The service provider provides reminders and priority advice based on the priorities determined by the decision-making department. Specifically, if the task "Create a report for Project A" is nearing its deadline, the service provider determines it has a high priority and sends a reminder. The service provider sends reminders according to the employee's schedule and visualizes the progress of tasks. For example, as the task deadline approaches, it sends a reminder notification to the employee's smartphone or computer to draw their attention. The service provider also displays the task progress in graphs and charts, allowing employees to see the completion rate of tasks at a glance. This allows employees to always be aware of the progress of their tasks and work efficiently. Furthermore, the service provider provides advice based on task priorities to support employee decision-making. For example, it advises prioritizing high-priority tasks to promote efficient task management. The service provider also supports employees' work by sending reminders at appropriate times according to the progress of tasks. For example, as the task deadline approaches, it increases the frequency of reminders to draw the employee's attention. This allows the service department to streamline employee task management and prevent project delays and errors. Furthermore, the service department can collect employee feedback and continuously improve the content of reminders and advice. For example, they can provide more effective reminders based on feedback regarding the timing and content of reminders. This enables the service department to provide flexible support tailored to employee needs and improve system reliability and satisfaction.
[0035] The service provider can visualize the progress of tasks. For example, the service provider can display the progress of tasks in a graph. For example, the service provider can also display the progress of tasks using progress bars. Furthermore, the service provider can display the progress of tasks on a dashboard. By visualizing the progress of tasks, it becomes easier for employees to understand the progress of their tasks. Some or all of the above processes in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the service provider can input the progress of tasks into an AI model and have the AI perform the visualization of the progress.
[0036] The service provider can track the completion rate of tasks. For example, the service provider can display the number of completed tasks and the number of tasks in progress. For example, the service provider can also display the task completion rate as a percentage. Furthermore, the service provider can display the task completion rate in a graph. This makes it easier for employees to manage the progress of tasks by understanding the task completion rate. Some or all of the above processes in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the service provider can input the task completion rate into an AI model and have the AI perform the task of tracking the completion rate.
[0037] The analysis unit can consider the consistency between task work time and schedule. For example, the analysis unit can estimate task work time and compare it to the schedule. For example, the analysis unit can also evaluate the consistency between task work time and schedule. Furthermore, the analysis unit can adjust task work time and schedule. This enables efficient task management by considering the consistency between task work time and schedule. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input task work time and schedule data into an AI model and have the AI perform the consistency evaluation.
[0038] The synchronization unit can integrate with the calendar apps and project management tools used by employees. For example, the synchronization unit can set the timing for syncing with calendar apps and project management tools. It can also set the types of information to sync. This allows for efficient synchronization of task information by integrating with calendar apps and project management tools. Some or all of the above processes in the synchronization unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the synchronization unit can input data from calendar apps and project management tools into an AI model and have the AI execute the sync settings.
[0039] The reception desk can provide input assistance when users enter task details by referring to their past task history. For example, the reception desk can automatically display task details that the user has entered in the past as suggestions. For example, the reception desk can also prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception desk can predict and suggest task details to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past task history. This makes task input more efficient by referring to past task history. Some or all of the above processes in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input past task history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform input assistance.
[0040] The reception desk can customize the input form according to the task category when entering task details. For example, for project tasks, the reception desk can add input fields for the project name and dependencies. For example, for routine tasks, the reception desk can provide a simple input form. For urgent tasks, the reception desk can also provide an input form that highlights priority and deadline. By customizing the input form according to the task category, task entry is made more efficient. 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 task category information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the customization of the input form.
[0041] The reception desk can prioritize tasks that are highly relevant to the user's geographical location when the user enters task details. For example, if the user is in the office, the reception desk will prioritize office-related tasks. If the user is out of the office, the reception desk can also prioritize tasks that can be completed while out. Furthermore, if the user is at home, the reception desk can prioritize tasks that can be completed at home. This allows the reception desk to prioritize tasks that are highly relevant by considering the user's geographical location. 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 geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI prioritize highly relevant tasks.
[0042] The reception desk can analyze the user's social media activity when they enter task details and suggest relevant tasks. For example, the reception desk can automatically display tasks that the user has mentioned on social media as input suggestions. For example, the reception desk can also suggest relevant events or meetings as tasks based on the user's social media activity. Furthermore, the reception desk can analyze the content of the user's social media posts and automatically generate relevant tasks. In this way, relevant tasks can be suggested by analyzing the user's social media activity. 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 social media data into a generating AI and have the generating AI suggest relevant tasks.
[0043] The synchronization unit can select the optimal synchronization method by referring to past synchronization history during synchronization. For example, the synchronization unit can select the most efficient synchronization method from past synchronization history. For example, the synchronization unit can also analyze past synchronization history and optimize the timing of synchronization. Furthermore, the synchronization unit can adjust the frequency of synchronization based on past synchronization history. This improves the efficiency of synchronization by referring to past synchronization history. Some or all of the above processes in the synchronization unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the synchronization unit can input past synchronization history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal synchronization method.
[0044] The synchronization unit can apply different synchronization algorithms depending on the task category during synchronization. For example, for project tasks, the synchronization unit applies an algorithm that synchronizes with a project management tool. For example, for daily work tasks, the synchronization unit can also apply an algorithm that synchronizes with a calendar application. Furthermore, for urgent tasks, the synchronization unit can apply a real-time synchronization algorithm. This improves the efficiency of synchronization by applying different synchronization algorithms depending on the task category. Some or all of the above processing in the synchronization unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the synchronization unit can input task category information into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of the synchronization algorithm.
[0045] The synchronization unit can prioritize the synchronization of highly relevant tasks by considering the user's geographical location during synchronization. For example, if the user is in the office, the synchronization unit will prioritize the synchronization of office-related tasks. For example, if the user is out of the office, the synchronization unit can also prioritize the synchronization of tasks that can be completed while out of the office. Furthermore, if the user is at home, the synchronization unit can also prioritize the synchronization of tasks that can be completed at home. In this way, highly relevant tasks can be prioritized by considering the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the synchronization unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the synchronization unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI prioritize highly relevant tasks.
[0046] The synchronization unit can analyze the user's social media activity during synchronization and synchronize related tasks.

[0066] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0067] Step 1: The reception desk receives the task details from the employee. When the employee enters the task details, they will enter information such as the task deadline, importance level, and dependencies. For example, for a task called "Create a report for Project A," the employee might enter "December 1, 2023" as the deadline, "High" as the importance level, and "After completion of data collection for Project B" as the dependency level. Step 2: The synchronization department synchronizes the task details entered by the reception department with calendars and project management tools. For example, the generation AI works with the calendar app and project management tool used by employees to retrieve task information. This allows the synchronization department to understand employees' schedules and project progress. Step 3: The analysis department analyzes the deadlines, importance, and dependencies of tasks synchronized by the synchronization department. For example, it prioritizes tasks with approaching deadlines or those that have a significant impact on the project. The analysis department also considers the consistency of task work time and schedules to efficiently allocate tasks. Step 4: The decision-making unit determines task priorities based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, tasks with approaching deadlines or those of high importance are prioritized. Step 5: The delivery department provides reminders and priority advice based on the priorities determined by the decision-making department. For example, if the task "Create report for Project A" is due soon, the delivery department determines it has a high priority and sends a reminder. The delivery department also visualizes the progress of tasks so that employees can understand the completion rate of tasks.
[0068] (Example of form 2) The task management agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generating AI to support the task management of company employees. In this task management agent system, employees input task details (deadline, importance, etc.), and the generating AI synchronizes with calendars and project management tools to analyze task deadlines, importance, and dependencies, thereby determining task priorities and providing reminders and priority advice. This allows employees to manage tasks efficiently and make effective use of their time. For example, an employee inputs task details (deadline, importance, etc.). At this time, information such as the task deadline, importance, and dependencies is entered. For example, for a task called "Create a report for Project A," the deadline is entered as "December 1, 2023," the importance as "High," and the dependency as "After completion of data collection for Project B." Next, the generating AI synchronizes with calendars and project management tools. For example, the generating AI collaborates with the calendar app or project management tool used by the employee to obtain task information. This allows the generating AI to understand the employee's schedule and project progress. The generating AI analyzes the task deadline, importance, and dependencies. For example, tasks with approaching deadlines or those with a significant impact on the project are prioritized. Tasks are also efficiently allocated, considering their work time and schedule consistency. The AI determines task priorities and provides reminders and priority advice. For instance, it might determine that the task "Create a report for Project A" has a high priority due to its approaching deadline and send a reminder. It also visualizes task progress, allowing employees to track their completion rate. This clarifies task priorities for employees, improving productivity. Furthermore, it prevents missed deadlines and reduces the risk of project delays. In addition, the automation of planning improves time efficiency. Thus, the task management agent system can streamline employee task management and support effective time management.
[0069] The task management agent system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a synchronization unit, an analysis unit, a decision unit, and a delivery unit. The reception unit receives task details from employees. When employees enter task details, they input information such as the task deadline, importance, and dependencies. For example, an employee might enter "Create report for Project A" as the deadline, "December 1, 2023", the importance as "High", and the dependencies as "After completion of data collection for Project B". The synchronization unit synchronizes the task details entered by the reception unit with a calendar or project management tool. For example, the generation AI works in conjunction with the calendar app or project management tool used by the employee to obtain task information. This allows the synchronization unit to understand the employee's schedule and project progress. The analysis unit analyzes the deadlines, importance, and dependencies of the tasks synchronized by the synchronization unit. For example, it prioritizes tasks with approaching deadlines or tasks that have a significant impact on the project. The analysis unit also considers the consistency of task work time and schedules to efficiently allocate tasks. The decision unit determines task priorities based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, it prioritizes tasks with approaching deadlines or those of high importance. The provision unit provides reminders and priority advice based on the priorities determined by the decision unit. For example, it determines that the task "Create a report for Project A" has a high priority because its deadline is approaching, and sends a reminder. The provision unit also visualizes the progress of tasks, allowing employees to understand their task completion rate. As a result, the task management agent system according to this embodiment can streamline employee task management and support the effective use of time.
[0070] The reception desk receives task details from employees. When employees enter task details, they input information such as the task deadline, importance level, and dependencies. Specifically, for a task like "Create a report for Project A," an employee might enter "December 1, 2023" as the deadline, "High" as the importance level, and "After completion of data collection for Project B" as the dependency level. The reception desk accurately receives this information and stores it within the system. Furthermore, the reception desk stores task details in a standardized format, making it easily accessible to other departments. For example, task details are stored in a database, and each task is assigned a unique identifier. This makes task tracking and management easier. The reception desk also performs error checking during task entry and provides feedback to prevent input errors and incomplete information. For example, if the deadline is a past date or the importance level is not entered, an error message is displayed, prompting the employee to correct it. This allows the reception desk to collect accurate and complete task information, improving the overall reliability of the system. Additionally, the reception desk provides support functions to reduce the burden on employees when entering tasks. For example, the system can automatically suggest similar tasks that have been entered in the past, making it easy for employees to select them. It can also utilize voice input and natural language processing technologies to allow employees to verbally input task details. This allows the reception department to streamline employee task entry and improve system utilization.
[0071] The synchronization unit synchronizes task details entered by the reception unit with calendars and project management tools. For example, the AI generates tasks in conjunction with the calendar and project management tools used by employees to retrieve task information. Specifically, the synchronization unit accesses calendar and project management tools via APIs and automatically synchronizes task details. This allows for monitoring of employee schedules and project progress. Furthermore, the synchronization unit synchronizes in real time when tasks are changed or updated, reflecting the latest information. For example, if a task deadline is changed or a new dependency is added, it is immediately reflected in the calendar and project management tools. This allows employees to always see the latest task information, making it easier to adjust schedules and prioritize tasks. The synchronization unit can also integrate and centrally manage multiple calendars and project management tools. For example, even if an employee is involved in multiple projects, all task information can be viewed in a single interface. This prevents duplication and inconsistencies in information across different tools, allowing employees to manage tasks efficiently. In addition, the synchronization unit monitors task progress in real time and sends alerts and notifications as needed. For example, if a task deadline is approaching or if dependent tasks are not completed, the system sends notifications to employees to prompt appropriate action. This allows the synchronous team to support employees' task management and prevent project delays and errors.
[0072] The analytics department analyzes the deadlines, importance, and dependencies of tasks synchronized by the synchronization department. Specifically, it prioritizes tasks with approaching deadlines and those with a significant impact on the project. The analytics department also considers the consistency of task work time and schedules to efficiently allocate tasks. For example, it uses AI to evaluate task importance and dependencies and determine the optimal task order. Based on historical data and statistics, the AI predicts the time and resources required to complete tasks and adjusts the schedule accordingly. This allows the analytics department to evenly distribute the workload among employees and efficiently advance tasks. Furthermore, the analytics department monitors task progress in real time and reallocates resources and adjusts schedules as needed. For example, if a particular task is behind schedule, it changes the priority of other tasks and concentrates resources. The analytics department also considers task dependencies to optimize the overall project progress. For example, if a dependent task is not completed, it adjusts the start of the next task. This allows the analytics department to minimize project delays and risks and support smooth progress. Furthermore, the analysis department simulates the impact of changes in task priorities and schedules, and proposes optimal countermeasures. For example, it evaluates the impact of changing the priority of a specific task and proposes an optimal schedule. In this way, the analysis department can support employees' task management and contribute to the success of projects.
[0073] The decision-making unit determines task priorities based on information analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it prioritizes tasks with approaching deadlines and those of high importance. The decision-making unit uses AI to automatically determine task priorities and notifies employees. For example, the AI calculates the optimal task order based on information such as task deadlines, importance, dependencies, and work time. This allows employees to work efficiently and prevent project delays and errors. Furthermore, the decision-making unit dynamically adjusts task priorities and responds to real-time changes. For example, if a new task is added or information on an existing task changes, the priority is immediately recalculated to reflect the latest information. This ensures that employees always work based on the most up-to-date priorities, enabling efficient work. The decision-making unit also collects feedback on task priorities and continuously improves its algorithms. For example, it reviews the priority determination criteria based on employee feedback to achieve more accurate prioritization. This allows the decision-making unit to provide flexible task management tailored to employee needs, improving system reliability and satisfaction. Furthermore, the decision-making unit optimizes resource allocation based on task priorities, improving overall project efficiency. For example, by concentrating resources on high-priority tasks and completing them quickly, it ensures smooth project progress. In this way, the decision-making unit can support employees' task management and contribute to project success.
[0074] The service provider provides reminders and priority advice based on the priorities determined by the decision-making department. Specifically, if the task "Create a report for Project A" is nearing its deadline, the service provider determines it has a high priority and sends a reminder. The service provider sends reminders according to the employee's schedule and visualizes the progress of tasks. For example, as the task deadline approaches, it sends a reminder notification to the employee's smartphone or computer to draw their attention. The service provider also displays the task progress in graphs and charts, allowing employees to see the completion rate of tasks at a glance. This allows employees to always be aware of the progress of their tasks and work efficiently. Furthermore, the service provider provides advice based on task priorities to support employee decision-making. For example, it advises prioritizing high-priority tasks to promote efficient task management. The service provider also supports employees' work by sending reminders at appropriate times according to the progress of tasks. For example, as the task deadline approaches, it increases the frequency of reminders to draw the employee's attention. This allows the service department to streamline employee task management and prevent project delays and errors. Furthermore, the service department can collect employee feedback and continuously improve the content of reminders and advice. For example, they can provide more effective reminders based on feedback regarding the timing and content of reminders. This enables the service department to provide flexible support tailored to employee needs and improve system reliability and satisfaction.
[0075] The service provider can visualize the progress of tasks. For example, the service provider can display the progress of tasks in a graph. For example, the service provider can also display the progress of tasks using progress bars. Furthermore, the service provider can display the progress of tasks on a dashboard. By visualizing the progress of tasks, it becomes easier for employees to understand the progress of their tasks. Some or all of the above processes in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the service provider can input the progress of tasks into an AI model and have the AI perform the visualization of the progress.

This makes it easier for employees to manage the progress of tasks by understanding the task completion rate. Some or all of the above processes in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the service provider can input the task completion rate into an AI model and have the AI perform the task of tracking the completion rate.
[0077] The analysis unit can consider the consistency between task work time and schedule. For example, the analysis unit can estimate task work time and compare it to the schedule. For example, the analysis unit can also evaluate the consistency between task work time and schedule. Furthermore, the analysis unit can adjust task work time and schedule. This enables efficient task management by considering the consistency between task work time and schedule. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input task work time and schedule data into an AI model and have the AI perform the consistency evaluation.
[0078] The synchronization unit can integrate with the calendar apps and project management tools used by employees. For example, the synchronization unit can set the timing for syncing with calendar apps and project management tools. It can also set the types of information to sync. This allows for efficient synchronization of task information by integrating with calendar apps and project management tools. Some or all of the above processes in the synchronization unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the synchronization unit can input data from calendar apps and project management tools into an AI model and have the AI execute the sync settings.
[0079] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the task input method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the reception desk can provide a simple interface and minimize the input steps. For example, if the user is relaxed, the reception desk can provide detailed input options and suggest a customizable input method. Also, if the user is in a hurry, the reception desk can prioritize voice input to allow for quick input of task details. This allows for more appropriate task input by adjusting the task input method 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 desk may be performed using AI or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's facial expression data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform emotion estimation.
[0080] The reception desk can provide input assistance when users enter task details by referring to their past task history. For example, the reception desk can automatically display task details that the user has entered in the past as suggestions. For example, the reception desk can also prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception desk can predict and suggest task details to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past task history. This makes task input more efficient by referring to past task history. Some or all of the above processes in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input past task history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform input assistance.
[0081] The reception desk can customize the input form according to the task category when entering task details. For example, for project tasks, the reception desk can add input fields for the project name and dependencies. For example, for routine tasks, the reception desk can provide a simple input form. For urgent tasks, the reception desk can also provide an input form that highlights priority and deadline. By customizing the input form according to the task category, task entry is made more efficient. 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 task category information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the customization of the input form.
[0082] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of tasks to be entered based on the estimated emotions.

[0120] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0121] Step 1: The reception desk receives the task details from the employee. When the employee enters the task details, they will enter information such as the task deadline, importance level, and dependencies. For example, for a task called "Create a report for Project A," the employee might enter "December 1, 2023" as the deadline, "High" as the importance level, and "After completion of data collection for Project B" as the dependency level. Step 2: The synchronization department synchronizes the task details entered by the reception department with calendars and project management tools. For example, the generation AI works with the calendar app and project management tool used by employees to retrieve task information. This allows the synchronization department to understand employees' schedules and project progress. Step 3: The analysis department analyzes the deadlines, importance, and dependencies of tasks synchronized by the synchronization department. For example, it prioritizes tasks with approaching deadlines or those that have a significant impact on the project. The analysis department also considers the consistency of task work time and schedules to efficiently allocate tasks. Step 4: The decision-making unit determines task priorities based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, tasks with approaching deadlines or those of high importance are prioritized. Step 5: The delivery department provides reminders and priority advice based on the priorities determined by the decision-making department. For example, if the task "Create report for Project A" is due soon, the delivery department determines it has a high priority and sends a reminder. The delivery department also visualizes the progress of tasks so that employees can understand the completion rate of tasks.

[0142] [Third Embodiment] Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.
[0143] As shown in Figure 5, the data processing system 310 includes a data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0148] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0149] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0150] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0151] 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.
[0152] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60.

The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI.

Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.
[0156] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0158] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0159] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0160] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

[0162] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0163] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0164] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[0165] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.
[0166] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0167] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30.

[0169] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0170] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).
[0171] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing.

In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0172] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network.

[0173] 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.
[0174] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, synchronization unit, analysis unit, decision unit, and delivery unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where employees input task details. The synchronization unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which synchronizes task details with a calendar or project management tool. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes task deadlines, importance, and dependencies. The decision unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which determines task priorities. The delivery unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which provides reminders and priority advice. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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."
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

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