[0028] (Example of form 1) The smart reception AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for automating reception work and reducing the workload of reception staff. This smart reception AI agent system has components that support natural language, a customizable system, and multilingual support. As a component that supports natural language, the AI enables natural dialogue and responds immediately to user questions. This overcomes the limitations of conventional mechanical voice guidance and realizes smooth communication with users. For example, if a user says, "I would like to make an appointment for a medical examination," the AI will respond immediately and guide the user through the appointment procedure. As a customizable system, facility-specific information can be set and guidance can be optimized. This enables guidance tailored to each facility and improves user convenience. For example, hospitals can provide guidance by medical department, and companies can provide guidance by department to be visited. As a component that supports multilingual support, the AI provides guidance in multiple languages. This improves visitor convenience and can accommodate international use. For example, guidance can be provided in multiple languages such as English, Chinese, and Spanish. This system is expected to reduce waiting times, improve the accuracy and efficiency of guidance, and increase user satisfaction. Specifically, users can receive guidance smoothly without having to wait long hours at the reception desk, thereby improving the efficiency of reception operations. In addition, the AI's natural conversational skills reduce user stress and improve satisfaction. This smart reception AI agent will be used in various industries, including hospitals, government offices, and businesses. For example, it will enable smoother patient guidance in hospitals, more efficient resident services in government offices, and quick guidance for visitors in businesses. As a result, the smart reception AI agent system can respond immediately to user questions, optimize guidance based on facility-specific information, and provide guidance in multiple languages, thereby reducing waiting times, improving the accuracy and efficiency of guidance, and increasing user satisfaction.
[0029] The smart reception AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a response unit, a setting unit, an optimization unit, and a multilingual support unit. The reception unit receives user questions. User questions include, but are not limited to, examples of making appointments for medical consultations, providing information about the facility, and explaining how to use services. The reception unit can receive questions by methods such as voice input, text input, and touch panel input. The response unit provides immediate responses to questions received by the reception unit. The response unit provides appropriate answers to user questions by, for example, using AI to engage in natural conversation. The response unit can provide responses such as guiding users through the appointment booking process, providing directions to the facility, and explaining how to use services. The setting unit sets facility-specific information. The setting unit can set, for example, the facility's name, address, service details, and information for each medical department. The optimization unit optimizes the guidance based on the information set by the setting unit. The optimization unit provides optimal guidance information according to the content of the user's question. The optimization unit can optimize, for example, guidance for each medical department, guidance for each department to be visited, and guidance on how to use services. The multilingual support unit provides guidance in multiple languages. The multilingual support unit can provide guidance in multiple languages, for example, English, Chinese, and Spanish. The multilingual support unit provides guidance in the appropriate language according to the user's language settings. As a result, the smart reception AI agent system according to the embodiment can respond immediately to user questions, optimize guidance based on facility-specific information, and provide guidance in multiple languages.
[0030] The reception desk receives user inquiries. User inquiries include, but are not limited to, requests for appointment scheduling, facility information, and service usage. The reception desk can accept inquiries using methods such as voice input, text input, and touch panel input. Specifically, in the case of voice input, the user speaks their question into a microphone, and speech recognition technology is used to convert the content into text data. In the case of text input, the user enters their question using a keyboard or touch panel. In the case of touch panel input, the user can select a question by tapping buttons or icons on the screen. This allows the reception desk to support diverse input methods and improve user convenience. Furthermore, the reception desk analyzes the user's input in real time and prepares to provide an appropriate response. For example, in the case of voice input, a speech recognition engine analyzes the user's speech and understands the intent of the question. In the case of text input, natural language processing technology is used to analyze the input and understand the content of the question. This allows the reception desk to respond to user inquiries quickly and accurately.
[0031] The response unit provides immediate responses to questions received by the reception unit. For example, the response unit uses AI to engage in natural conversation and provide appropriate answers to user questions. Specifically, the AI analyzes the user's question using natural language processing technology and generates appropriate responses. For instance, when guiding users through the appointment booking process, the AI confirms the user's preferred date, time, and department, and presents available time slots. When guiding users to a facility, the AI understands the user's current location and destination, and guides them along the optimal route. When explaining how to use a service, the AI explains specific procedures and points to note according to the user's question. This allows the response unit to respond quickly and appropriately to user questions. Furthermore, the response unit records the history of conversations with users and can utilize this information for future responses. For example, for users who have previously booked appointments, the response unit can refer to their previous booking details to guide them through a smoother booking process. The response unit can also collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and quality of its responses. This allows the response unit to improve user satisfaction and enhance the overall system performance.
[0032] The settings unit is used to configure facility-specific information. For example, it can configure the facility's name, address, services offered, and information for each medical department. Specifically, facility administrators input basic and detailed facility information through the settings screen. For example, they can input the facility's name, address, and contact information, and set the consultation hours and assigned physician information for each medical department. They can also set specific usage instructions and points to note regarding services. This allows the settings unit to accurately register facility-specific information, enabling other departments to utilize that information. Furthermore, the settings unit can handle periodic information updates and changes. For example, if there are changes to consultation hours or the addition of new services, administrators can update the information through the settings screen to provide users with the latest information. In addition, the settings unit can centrally manage information from multiple facilities and departments. This allows the settings unit to efficiently manage information for the entire facility and provide users with accurate and up-to-date information.
[0033] The optimization unit optimizes guidance based on information set by the settings unit. For example, the optimization unit provides optimal guidance information according to the user's question. Specifically, it uses AI to analyze the user's question and generate the optimal answer. For example, when providing guidance for each medical department, it confirms the user's symptoms and desired department and provides information on the optimal consultation time and doctor. When providing guidance for each department to visit, it understands the user's destination and current location and guides them on the optimal route. When providing guidance on how to use the service, it explains specific procedures and points to note according to the user's question. This allows the optimization unit to respond to user questions quickly and appropriately. Furthermore, the optimization unit can continuously improve the accuracy and quality of the guidance content based on the user's usage history and feedback. For example, for users who have previously made a medical appointment, it refers to the details of the previous appointment and guides them through a smoother appointment process. In addition, the optimization unit can analyze the user's usage status and behavior patterns and provide personalized guidance that meets individual needs. This allows the optimization unit to improve user satisfaction and the overall performance of the system.
[0034] The multilingual support unit provides guidance in multiple languages. For example, it can provide guidance in multiple languages such as English, Chinese, and Spanish. Specifically, it provides guidance in the appropriate language according to the user's language settings. For example, if the user selects English, all guidance will be provided in English. Similarly, if the user selects Chinese or Spanish, guidance will be provided in the respective language. This allows the multilingual support unit to accommodate users who speak different languages, improving convenience. Furthermore, the multilingual support unit can perform real-time translation using AI. For example, if a user enters a question in Japanese, the AI will translate the content into another language and generate an appropriate answer. Conversely, it can also translate questions entered in other languages into Japanese and process them within the system. This allows the multilingual support unit to provide consistent service to users, transcending language barriers. Additionally, the multilingual support unit can perform translations that take into account the cultural background and nuances of each language. This allows users to engage in natural conversations in their native language, making the system more comfortable to use.
[0035] The response unit can engage in natural dialogue with the user's questions. For example, the response unit can use AI to provide appropriate answers to the user's questions. The response unit can provide responses such as guiding the user through the appointment scheduling process, guiding them to the location of a facility, or explaining how to use a service. For example, the response unit enables smooth communication with the user by engaging in natural dialogue with the user's questions. Some or all of the above-described processes in the response unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI. For example, the response unit inputs the user's question into the generative AI, and the generative AI generates an appropriate answer. This allows the response unit to engage in natural dialogue with the user's questions.
[0036] The reception desk can analyze the user's past question history and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception desk can automatically display frequently asked questions as candidates. For example, the reception desk can prioritize suggesting question methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. For example, the reception desk can predict and suggest questions to be asked at a specific time based on the user's past question history. In this way, the reception desk can provide the user with the optimal reception method by analyzing past question history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception desk inputs the user's past question history data into a generating AI, and the generating AI selects the optimal reception method.
[0037] The reception unit can filter questions based on the user's current situation and areas of interest when receiving them. For example, the reception unit can prioritize receiving relevant questions based on the user's current location. For example, the reception unit can filter and display relevant questions based on the user's areas of interest. For example, the reception unit can suggest the most relevant questions based on the user's current situation (time of day, location, etc.). In this way, the reception unit can prioritize receiving highly relevant questions by filtering them based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the user's current situation data into a generating AI, and the generating AI filters the relevant questions.
[0038] The reception desk can prioritize receiving questions that are highly relevant, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, the reception desk can prioritize receiving relevant questions based on the user's current location. For example, the reception desk can suggest the most relevant questions based on the user's geographical location information. For example, the reception desk can update the user's current location information in real time and prioritize receiving relevant questions. This allows the reception desk to prioritize receiving highly relevant questions by taking into account the user's geographical location information. 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 inputs the user's geographical location data into a generating AI, and the generating AI selects relevant questions.
[0039] The reception desk can analyze the user's social media activity when receiving a question and accept relevant questions. For example, the reception desk can prioritize questions related to topics of interest based on the user's social media activity. For example, the reception desk can analyze the content of the user's social media posts and suggest relevant questions. For example, the reception desk can prioritize questions by referring to the activities of the user's social media followers and friends. In this way, the reception desk can prioritize questions 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 inputs the user's social media activity data into a generating AI, and the generating AI selects relevant questions.
[0040] The response unit can adjust the level of detail in its response based on the importance of the question. For example, it can provide a detailed response to an important question, a concise response to a general question, and a quick response to an urgent question. This allows the response unit to provide a more appropriate response by adjusting the level of detail based on the importance of the question. Some or all of the above processing in the response unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the response unit inputs question importance data into a generating AI, which then adjusts the level of detail in the response.
[0041] The response unit can apply different response algorithms depending on the category of the question when responding.

[0067] The reception desk receives user inquiries. User inquiries include, but are not limited to, requests for appointment scheduling, facility information, and service usage. The reception desk can accept inquiries using methods such as voice input, text input, and touch panel input. Specifically, in the case of voice input, the user speaks their question into a microphone, and speech recognition technology is used to convert the content into text data. In the case of text input, the user enters their question using a keyboard or touch panel. In the case of touch panel input, the user can select a question by tapping buttons or icons on the screen. This allows the reception desk to support diverse input methods and improve user convenience. Furthermore, the reception desk analyzes the user's input in real time and prepares to provide an appropriate response. For example, in the case of voice input, a speech recognition engine analyzes the user's speech and understands the intent of the question. In the case of text input, natural language processing technology is used to analyze the input and understand the content of the question. This allows the reception desk to respond to user inquiries quickly and accurately.
[0068] The response unit provides immediate responses to questions received by the reception unit. For example, the response unit uses AI to engage in natural conversation and provide appropriate answers to user questions. Specifically, the AI analyzes the user's question using natural language processing technology and generates appropriate responses. For instance, when guiding users through the appointment booking process, the AI confirms the user's preferred date, time, and department, and presents available time slots. When guiding users to a facility, the AI understands the user's current location and destination, and guides them along the optimal route. When explaining how to use a service, the AI explains specific procedures and points to note according to the user's question. This allows the response unit to respond quickly and appropriately to user questions. Furthermore, the response unit records the history of conversations with users and can utilize this information for future responses. For example, for users who have previously booked appointments, the response unit can refer to their previous booking details to guide them through a smoother booking process. The response unit can also collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and quality of its responses. This allows the response unit to improve user satisfaction and enhance the overall system performance.
[0069] The settings unit is used to configure facility-specific information. For example, it can configure the facility's name, address, services offered, and information for each medical department. Specifically, facility administrators input basic and detailed facility information through the settings screen. For example, they can input the facility's name, address, and contact information, and set the consultation hours and assigned physician information for each medical department. They can also set specific usage instructions and points to note regarding services. This allows the settings unit to accurately register facility-specific information, enabling other departments to utilize that information. Furthermore, the settings unit can handle periodic information updates and changes. For example, if there are changes to consultation hours or the addition of new services, administrators can update the information through the settings screen to provide users with the latest information. In addition, the settings unit can centrally manage information from multiple facilities and departments. This allows the settings unit to efficiently manage information for the entire facility and provide users with accurate and up-to-date information.
[0070] The optimization unit optimizes guidance based on information set by the settings unit. For example, the optimization unit provides optimal guidance information according to the user's question. Specifically, it uses AI to analyze the user's question and generate the optimal answer. For example, when providing guidance for each medical department, it confirms the user's symptoms and desired department and provides information on the optimal consultation time and doctor. When providing guidance for each department to visit, it understands the user's destination and current location and guides them on the optimal route. When providing guidance on how to use the service, it explains specific procedures and points to note according to the user's question. This allows the optimization unit to respond to user questions quickly and appropriately. Furthermore, the optimization unit can continuously improve the accuracy and quality of the guidance content based on the user's usage history and feedback. For example, for users who have previously made a medical appointment, it refers to the details of the previous appointment and guides them through a smoother appointment process. In addition, the optimization unit can analyze the user's usage status and behavior patterns and provide personalized guidance that meets individual needs. This allows the optimization unit to improve user satisfaction and the overall performance of the system.
[0071] The multilingual support unit provides guidance in multiple languages. For example, it can provide guidance in multiple languages such as English, Chinese, and Spanish. Specifically, it provides guidance in the appropriate language according to the user's language settings. For example, if the user selects English, all guidance will be provided in English. Similarly, if the user selects Chinese or Spanish, guidance will be provided in the respective language. This allows the multilingual support unit to accommodate users who speak different languages, improving convenience. Furthermore, the multilingual support unit can perform real-time translation using AI. For example, if a user enters a question in Japanese, the AI will translate the content into another language and generate an appropriate answer. Conversely, it can also translate questions entered in other languages into Japanese and process them within the system. This allows the multilingual support unit to provide consistent service to users, transcending language barriers. Additionally, the multilingual support unit can perform translations that take into account the cultural background and nuances of each language. This allows users to engage in natural conversations in their native language, making the system more comfortable to use.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0152] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0153] 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.
[0154] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0155] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0156] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. 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.
[0157] 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).
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.).
[0165] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0166] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.
[0167] 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.
[0168] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, response unit, setting unit, optimization unit, and multilingual support 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 microphone 238 of the robot 414 and receives voice input from the user. The response unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and uses AI to engage in natural conversation and respond immediately to the user's questions. The setting unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and sets facility-specific information. The optimization unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and optimizes guidance based on the set information. The multilingual support unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides guidance in multiple languages. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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."
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
