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 Creative Agent System according to an embodiment of the present invention is a platform for professional artists and designers to overcome creative blocks and generate fresh ideas. This system collects the user's past works and related text data, extracts meaning from the data using natural language processing AI, and understands the user's style and themes. Furthermore, it uses image generation AI to analyze past works and art styles and generates new visual concepts based on that analysis. This system provides customized ideas to overcome the user's creative blocks. For example, when a user is working on a new project, it suggests new ideas and concepts based on past works. This allows the user to gain fresh ideas and maintain their creativity. It also provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easy for users to operate. Furthermore, it is offered on a subscription model, allowing users to access it whenever needed. This mechanism significantly reduces the time spent generating ideas, allowing users to dedicate more time to other creative activities. Moreover, the quality and originality of ideas will dramatically improve, and the market size across the entire creative industry could reach hundreds of billions of yen annually. Thus, the Creative Agent System can overcome users' creative blocks and generate fresh ideas.
[0029] The creative agent system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects the user's past works and related text data. The user's past works include, but are not limited to, paintings, photographs, and designs. The collection unit collects the user's past works in digital format, for example. The collection unit can also collect related text data. For example, the collection unit collects articles, blogs, and comments written by the user. The analysis unit uses natural language processing AI to extract meaning from the collected data and understand the user's style and themes. The natural language processing AI uses techniques such as morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis. The analysis unit uses morphological analysis to segment the text data and grammatical analysis to analyze the structure of sentences, for example. The analysis unit can also extract meaning from the text data using semantic analysis. The generation unit uses image generation AI to analyze past works and art styles and generate new visual concepts based on them. Image generation AI may employ technologies such as GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) or VAE (Variational Autoencoder). The generation unit may generate new visual concepts using GAN, for example. The generation unit may also generate visual concepts using VAE. The provision unit provides the generated visual concepts to the user. The provision unit may, for example, display the generated visual concepts on the user's device. The provision unit may also print and provide the generated visual concepts. This allows the creative agent system according to the embodiment to overcome the user's creative block and generate fresh ideas. Some or all of the above-described processes in the collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and provision unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the collection unit may collect the user's past works using AI, the analysis unit may analyze the collected data using AI, the generation unit may generate new visual concepts using AI based on the analysis results, and the provision unit may provide the generated visual concepts using AI.
[0030] The data collection unit collects users' past works and related text data. These past works include, but are not limited to, paintings, photographs, and designs. The unit collects users' past works in digital format, for example. Specifically, it scans paintings and photographs created by users in the past and saves them as digital data. Design data can also be collected in the file format of the design software used by the user. This allows the data collection unit to comprehensively understand the history of the user's creative activities. Furthermore, the data collection unit can also collect related text data. For example, it collects articles, blogs, and comments written by users. This includes texts posted on online platforms, personal notes, and diaries. To collect this text data, the data collection unit can efficiently collect publicly available data from the internet using web scraping techniques and APIs. It also has a function to directly upload text data provided by users. This allows the data collection unit to build a rich dataset for the analysis unit, comprehensively collecting the user's sources of creative inspiration.
[0031] The analysis unit uses natural language processing AI to extract meaning from collected data and understand the user's style and themes. The natural language processing AI employs techniques such as morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis. Specifically, morphological analysis is used to divide text data into words and identify the part of speech of each word. Grammatical analysis is used to analyze sentence structure and extract grammatical elements such as subject, predicate, and object. Furthermore, semantic analysis is used to extract meaning from text data and understand the user's themes and emotions in their writing. For example, it can identify themes the user is interested in and frequently used expressions from the content of articles and blogs written by the user. The analysis unit integrates these analysis results to reveal the characteristics of the user's creative style and themes. The analysis unit also uses image analysis technology to analyze collected visual data. For example, image recognition technology is used to extract features such as color, composition, and motifs from the user's past works. This allows the analysis unit to understand the user's visual style in detail and build foundational data to provide to the generation unit. Furthermore, the analysis unit organizes the collected data using clustering and classification algorithms to clarify the user's creative tendencies. This allows the analysis unit to comprehensively understand the user's style and themes, providing crucial input for the generation unit to generate new visual concepts.
[0032] The generation unit uses image generation AI to analyze past works and art styles and generate new visual concepts based on that analysis. The image generation AI employs technologies such as GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) and VAE (Variational Autoencoder). Specifically, when generating new visual concepts using GAN, the generation unit uses the user's past works as training data and generates high-quality visual concepts by having the generative network and discriminative network compete. The generative network generates new images, and the discriminative network determines whether the generated images are genuine or fake. By repeating this process, the generative network improves its ability to generate more realistic and creative visual concepts. When generating visual concepts using VAE, the generation unit maps the user's past works into a latent space and samples new visual concepts from that latent space. This allows the generation unit to generate diverse visual concepts based on the user's style and themes. Furthermore, the generation unit also has the function to adjust the generated visual concepts based on user feedback. For example, by providing evaluations and comments on the generated visual concepts, the generation unit can reflect that feedback and improve the next generation process. This allows the generation unit to continuously generate and provide visual concepts that meet the user's needs and preferences.
[0033] The service provider delivers the generated visual concepts to the user. Specifically, it displays the generated visual concepts on the user's device. The service provider can also print and deliver the generated visual concepts. For example, it can display the generated visual concepts on the user's smartphone or tablet, allowing the user to review them immediately. The service provider can also offer a service to print the generated visual concepts in high resolution and mail them to the user. Furthermore, the service provider has a function that allows users to upload the generated visual concepts to an online platform and share them with other users. This allows users to widely publish their creative results and receive feedback from other users. The service provider can also provide an API for directly integrating the generated visual concepts into the user's project. This allows users to easily incorporate the generated visual concepts into their design projects and presentations. In addition, the service provider has a function to customize the generated visual concepts according to the user's preferences. For example, by specifying specific colors and styles, the service provider can generate and deliver a visual concept that meets those requirements. This allows the service provider to offer flexible services that meet users' creative needs and improve user satisfaction.
[0034] The interface unit can provide an intuitive and user-friendly interface. For example, the interface unit can provide an interface that takes ease of operation into consideration. For example, the interface unit can adopt a visually easy-to-understand design so that users can operate it intuitively. The interface unit can also simplify the operation procedure so that users can operate it easily. For example, the interface unit can enable users to complete operations in fewer steps. This makes the system easier to use by providing an interface that users can easily operate. Some or all of the above processing in the interface unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the interface unit can analyze the user's operation history using AI and provide an optimal interface.
[0035] The administration department can manage the subscription model. For example, the administration department manages user subscription information. For example, the administration department manages user contract status and pricing structures. The administration department can also manage user subscription renewals and cancellations. For example, the administration department guides users through the necessary procedures when they renew their subscriptions. By managing the subscription model, users can access it whenever they need it. Some or all of the above processes in the administration department may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the administration department can use AI to manage user subscription information and suggest the optimal subscription plan.

Furthermore, if the user is focused, visually easy-to-understand subscription information can be provided. This allows for optimal subscription management tailored to the user's state by adjusting subscription management methods based on their emotions.
[0120] The data collection unit can analyze a user's past submission history and select the optimal collection method. For example, it can analyze the frequency of past submissions and collect data during the time periods with the highest submission frequency. Furthermore, if a user focuses on a specific theme or style, it can prioritize the collection of data related to that theme or style. It can also collect data related to highly-rated works based on the ratings of past submissions. This allows for efficient data collection by analyzing a user's past submission history and selecting the most suitable collection method.
[0121] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the data. For example, it can perform a detailed analysis on highly important data and a simplified analysis on less important data.

In this way, by referring to past user feedback, the optimal delivery method can be selected and the visual concept can be delivered efficiently.
[0124] The interface unit can select the optimal display method when displaying the interface, taking into account the user's device information. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, it can provide a display method that matches the screen size; if the user is using a tablet, it can provide a display method optimized for a larger screen. Furthermore, if the user is using a smartwatch, it can provide a concise and highly visible display method. By selecting the optimal display method based on the user's device information, it is possible to provide an optimal interface tailored to the user's situation.

Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the collected data to understand the user's style and themes. The analysis unit uses natural language processing AI to extract the meaning of the text data, employing techniques such as morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis. Step 3: The generation unit generates a new visual concept based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The generation unit uses image generation AI to analyze past works and art styles, and generates a new visual concept using technologies such as GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) and VAE (Variational Autoencoder). Step 4: The provider provides the generated visual concept to the user. The provider can display the generated visual concept on the user's device or provide it in print.

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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects the user's past works and related text data using the camera 42 and communication I / F 44 of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which extracts meaning from the collected data using natural language processing AI to understand the user's style and themes. The generation unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which generates a new visual concept using image generation AI. The provision unit is implemented in the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which displays the generated visual concept on the user's device. The provision unit can also print and provide the generated visual concept. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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."
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
