[0028] (Example of form 1) The personalized education system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that generates instructional content tailored to the individuality and proficiency level of each student. This personalized education system detects the individuality and proficiency level of each student and generates optimal educational content based on that information. The generated educational content is provided to the student to promote their understanding. With this system, the AI automatically generates the "cause of the problem" and the "optimal path to understanding the solution" which differ for each student, thereby deepening the student's understanding. For example, if a student cannot solve a particular problem, the reason will differ for each student. The AI detects the cause and generates a path to understanding the optimal solution. This allows students to learn at their own pace. The AI also considers the student's interests and motivation and provides the optimal teaching method. For example, when solving a math problem, if the student likes baseball, the AI will use baseball-related examples to promote understanding. Furthermore, the AI monitors the student's learning progress in real time and automatically generates teaching materials as needed. For example, if a student stumbles in a particular field, the AI generates teaching materials specialized for that field and provides them to the student. This allows students to learn efficiently. This system is particularly effective in online education, maximizing learning effectiveness by providing each student with the most suitable educational content. For example, at the beginning of an online lesson, AI tests the student's current level of understanding and generates optimal learning materials based on the results. If a student has difficulty understanding something during the lesson, the AI identifies the cause and generates additional materials. At the end of the lesson, a review test is administered to check the student's comprehension. In this way, by utilizing AI, personalized education tailored to each student can be realized, thereby enhancing learning effectiveness. As a result, the personalized education system can provide each student with the most suitable educational content and maximize learning effectiveness.
[0029] The personalized education system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects information about students' individuality and proficiency levels. For example, the collection unit can collect students' personality traits and learning styles. The collection unit can also collect students' test scores and assignment completion rates. Furthermore, the collection unit can also collect information about students' interests and motivations. For example, the collection unit can collect students' survey results and behavioral data. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and identifies the "causes of inability to solve" and the "optimal path to understanding the solution." For example, the analysis unit identifies the causes of students' lack of understanding, misunderstandings, or calculation errors based on the collected information. The analysis unit can also identify paths to understanding the optimal solution, such as step-by-step explanations and provision of related knowledge. The generation unit generates optimal educational content based on the information identified by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit can generate individualized teaching materials or adaptive learning content. The generation unit can also generate optimal teaching materials based on the analysis results. The provisioning unit provides students with educational content generated by the generation unit. The provisioning unit can provide educational content by methods such as online distribution or distribution of printed materials. The provisioning unit can also provide students with the generated teaching materials. In this way, the personalized education system according to the embodiment can maximize learning effectiveness by providing educational content tailored to the individuality and proficiency level of each student. Some or all of the above-described processes in the collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and provisioning unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the collection unit can input information about students' individuality and proficiency level into the AI and have the AI collect the information. The analysis unit can input the collected information into the AI and have the AI identify the "cause of the inability to solve" and the "optimal path to understanding the solution." The generation unit can input the analysis results into the AI and have the AI generate the optimal educational content. The provisioning unit can input the generated educational content into the AI and have the AI provide the educational content.
[0030] The data collection department gathers information about students' personalities and proficiency levels. Specifically, it conducts psychological tests and questionnaires to understand students' personality traits and learning styles, and stores the results in a database. It also regularly records students' test scores and assignment completion rates to track their learning progress in detail. Furthermore, it analyzes behavioral data during learning and activity history on online platforms to gather information about students' interests and motivation. For example, it monitors the number of clicks, time spent, and eye movements during learning sessions to understand what kind of materials students are interested in and when their concentration wavers. This data is transmitted in real time to a cloud-based database and centrally managed by the data collection department. Based on this information, the data collection department creates learning profiles for each student and uses them as foundational data for individualized educational plans. In addition, the data collection department can integrate additional information provided by external educational institutions and parents to build a more comprehensive dataset. This allows the data collection department to gain a detailed understanding of diverse aspects of students and efficiently collect the foundational data necessary to provide individualized educational content.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the data collection unit to identify the "reasons why students cannot solve problems" and the "optimal path to understanding the solution." Specifically, it uses AI to analyze the collected data and identify the causes of students' lack of understanding, misunderstandings, calculation errors, etc. For example, it uses natural language processing technology to analyze students' answers and comments to identify where misunderstandings occur. It also uses machine learning algorithms to analyze students' past learning history and test results to extract their level of understanding and error patterns for specific problems. Furthermore, the analysis unit identifies the path to understanding the optimal solution, such as providing step-by-step explanations and related knowledge. For example, the AI automatically generates a learning path from basic concepts to applied problems according to the student's level of understanding and proposes the optimal learning order. In this way, the analysis unit can provide the optimal learning path tailored to each student's learning needs and support efficient learning. In addition, the analysis unit can utilize past data and statistical information to predict long-term learning trends and performance fluctuations, which can be used to plan future learning. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term learning management and performance optimization, thereby improving the reliability and effectiveness of the entire system.
[0032] The generation unit generates optimal educational content based on the information identified by the analysis unit. Specifically, it uses AI to generate personalized learning materials and adaptive learning content. For example, it uses natural language generation technology to automatically generate explanatory texts and questions tailored to each student's level of understanding and learning style. It can also use image recognition technology to generate visually easy-to-understand diagrams and illustrations. Furthermore, the generation unit reconfigures existing educational resources and customizes them to meet student needs in order to generate optimal learning materials based on the analysis results. For example, it can generate learning materials that combine relevant video content and interactive simulations to reinforce specific concepts. The generation unit can store this educational content in the cloud and update it in real time as needed. This allows the generation unit to quickly and efficiently generate and deliver optimal educational content tailored to the learning needs of each individual student. In addition, the generation unit can evaluate the effectiveness of the generated educational content and build a feedback loop for continuous improvement. This allows the generation unit to always utilize the latest information and technology to provide high-quality educational content and maximize learning effectiveness.
[0033] The delivery department provides students with educational content generated by the generation department. Specifically, educational content is delivered through methods such as online distribution and printed materials. For example, generated materials can be delivered directly to students' devices via an online platform, providing an interactive learning experience. Alternatively, materials can be distributed as printed materials, allowing students to continue learning even in offline environments. In addition to providing students with generated materials, the delivery department monitors their learning progress in real time and provides additional support and feedback as needed. For example, it tracks students' learning progress on the online platform and provides additional materials or supplementary explanations if a student's understanding of a particular problem is low. Furthermore, the delivery department can build a comprehensive support system by collaborating with parents and educational institutions to share students' learning progress and achievements. This allows the delivery department to provide optimal educational content tailored to each student's learning needs and maximize learning effectiveness. Moreover, the delivery department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the content provided. For example, it can analyze students' reactions and results to the learning content and reflect them in the generation of future content. This allows the service provider to constantly utilize the latest information and technology to deliver high-quality educational content and maximize learning effectiveness.
[0034] The personalized education system further includes a monitoring unit that monitors learning progress in real time and automatically generates learning materials as needed. The monitoring unit can monitor learning progress, for example, in seconds or minutes. Based on conditions such as delays in learning progress or failure to complete specific tasks, the monitoring unit can automatically generate learning materials as needed. For example, if a student is struggling in a particular area, the monitoring unit can generate and provide learning materials tailored to that area. This supports efficient learning by automatically generating learning materials according to learning progress. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input student learning progress data into AI and have the AI perform the automatic generation of learning materials.
[0035] The personalized education system further includes a testing unit that conducts review tests to check students' understanding. The testing unit can check students' understanding based on evaluation criteria such as test scores and the percentage of correct answers to questions. By conducting review tests, the testing unit can check students' understanding and improve learning effectiveness. For example, the testing unit can conduct a review test at the end of a lesson to check students' understanding. This allows the testing unit to check students' understanding and improve learning effectiveness. Some or all of the above processing in the testing unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the testing unit can input student test data into AI and have the AI perform the understanding check.

[0072] (Example of form 2) The personalized education system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that generates instructional content tailored to the individuality and proficiency level of each student. This personalized education system detects the individuality and proficiency level of each student and generates optimal educational content based on that information. The generated educational content is provided to the student to promote their understanding. With this system, the AI automatically generates the "cause of the problem" and the "optimal path to understanding the solution" which differ for each student, thereby deepening the student's understanding. For example, if a student cannot solve a particular problem, the reason will differ for each student. The AI detects the cause and generates a path to understanding the optimal solution. This allows students to learn at their own pace. The AI also considers the student's interests and motivation and provides the optimal teaching method. For example, when solving a math problem, if the student likes baseball, the AI will use baseball-related examples to promote understanding. Furthermore, the AI monitors the student's learning progress in real time and automatically generates teaching materials as needed. For example, if a student stumbles in a particular field, the AI generates teaching materials specialized for that field and provides them to the student. This allows students to learn efficiently. This system is particularly effective in online education, maximizing learning effectiveness by providing each student with the most suitable educational content. For example, at the beginning of an online lesson, AI tests the student's current level of understanding and generates optimal learning materials based on the results. If a student has difficulty understanding something during the lesson, the AI identifies the cause and generates additional materials. At the end of the lesson, a review test is administered to check the student's comprehension. In this way, by utilizing AI, personalized education tailored to each student can be realized, thereby enhancing learning effectiveness. As a result, the personalized education system can provide each student with the most suitable educational content and maximize learning effectiveness.

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.).

The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI.

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.

[0170] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0171] 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.

[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.
[0186] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, provision unit, monitoring unit, and testing unit, is implemented in at least one of the following: the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit uses the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 to collect information on the students' individuality and proficiency, and the control unit 46A transmits this information to the data processing unit 12. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the collected information to identify the "cause of inability to solve" and the "optimal path to understanding the solution." The generation unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and generates optimal educational content based on the analysis results. The provision unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 46A of the robot 414, and provides the generated educational content to the students. The monitoring unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and monitors learning progress in real time and automatically generates teaching materials as needed. The testing section is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, which conducts review tests to confirm the students' level of understanding. The correspondence between each section and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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."
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.
[0199] 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.
[0200] 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.
[0201] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices.
