Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.
[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The reception device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12.

[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.
[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The matchmaking and dating support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes an AI agent to reduce the mental burden of matchmaking and dating services. In this system, the user registers a profile, and the AI agent handles tasks such as sending "likes," exchanging messages, and scheduling dates. The AI agent responds in a manner that matches the user's tone and character, and conducts interviews on their behalf. The user only needs to check the progress and results, and can intervene as needed at points they deem important. This mechanism reduces the mental burden on the user, allowing them to efficiently find their ideal partner. Furthermore, because the AI agent handles interactions with multiple people in parallel, the user can proceed with matchmaking and dating without becoming fatigued. For example, when a user registers a profile, the AI agent automatically sends a "like" and starts exchanging messages. The AI agent analyzes the user's past interaction history and generates the most appropriate message. In addition, the AI agent manages the user's schedule and schedules dates. This allows the user to efficiently proceed with matchmaking and dating. As a result, the matchmaking and dating support system reduces the mental burden on the user and allows them to efficiently find their ideal partner.
[0029] The matchmaking / dating support system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an agency unit, a response unit, and a confirmation unit. The reception unit allows users to register their profiles. The profiles include, for example, name, age, hobbies, occupation, etc., but are not limited to these examples. The reception unit, for example, stores the information entered by the user in a database so that it can be used by the AI agent. The agency unit allows the AI agent to act on behalf of the user, such as sending "likes," exchanging messages, and scheduling dates. For example, the agency unit allows the AI agent to send "likes" and exchange messages on behalf of the user. The agency unit can also allow the AI agent to manage the user's schedule and schedule dates. The response unit provides responses in accordance with the user's tone and character during interactions conducted by the agency unit. For example, the response unit allows the AI agent to analyze the user's past interaction history and generate the most appropriate message. The response unit can also allow the AI agent to generate messages that match the user's tone and character. The confirmation unit checks the progress and results of interactions conducted by the response unit. The verification unit, for example, allows an AI agent to report the progress to the user, and the user can intervene as needed. As a result, the matchmaking / dating support system according to this embodiment reduces the user's mental burden and allows them to efficiently find their ideal partner.
[0030] The reception desk allows users to register their profiles. These profiles may include, but are not limited to, name, age, hobbies, and occupation. Specifically, users enter their profile information through a dedicated application or website. In addition to name, age, hobbies, and occupation, users can register detailed information such as height, weight, birthplace, education level, annual income, marital status, whether they have children, whether they have pets, favorite movies and music, and how they spend their holidays. This information is crucial for users to find their ideal partner. The reception desk stores the entered information in a database, making it available to AI agents. The database is securely managed to prevent the leakage of personal information. Users can update their profile information at any time to reflect the latest information. This allows the reception desk to efficiently collect detailed user profile information and provide a foundation for AI agents to perform optimal matching.
[0031] The proxy service uses AI agents to handle tasks such as sending "likes," exchanging messages, and scheduling dates. Specifically, the AI agents select the most suitable partners based on the user's profile information and past communication history, and send "likes" to them. The AI agents automatically find partners that match the user's preferences and criteria, and approach them efficiently. In addition, during message exchanges, the AI agents generate messages that match the user's tone and personality, facilitating smooth communication. Furthermore, when scheduling dates, the AI agents manage the user's schedule, coordinate with the other party, and propose the best date. This eliminates the hassle of cumbersome communication and scheduling, allowing users to efficiently meet their ideal partner. The proxy service plays a role in reducing the user's burden by automating a series of processes on behalf of the user with AI agents.
[0032] The response unit, in interactions conducted by the proxy unit, provides responses that are in line with the user's tone and character. Specifically, the AI agent analyzes the user's past interaction history to understand the user's communication style and preferences. For example, it learns the words, expressions, and sense of humor that the user usually uses, and generates the most appropriate messages based on that. The AI agent utilizes natural language processing technology to generate messages that match the user's tone and character, facilitating smooth communication. Furthermore, the response unit can accurately understand the user's emotions and intentions and provide appropriate responses accordingly. For example, if the user shows interest in the other party, it will ask questions that will pique that interest; conversely, if the user has lost interest, it will guide them to end the interaction at an appropriate time. In this way, the response unit supports the user's communication and plays a role in fostering smooth relationships with others.
[0033] The verification unit checks the progress and results of interactions conducted by the response unit. Specifically, the AI agent periodically reports the progress of the interaction to the user, allowing the user to understand the situation. For example, the AI agent may report to the user, "The interaction with Mr. / Ms. XX is progressing smoothly," or "The date with Mr. / Ms. XX has been set." It also provides an interface for checking the progress and results so that the user can intervene in the interaction as needed. The user can review the messages and interaction content generated by the AI agent and make corrections or additional instructions as needed. In this way, the verification unit plays a role in supporting the user in understanding the status of the interaction and intervening at the appropriate time. Furthermore, the verification unit analyzes the results of the interaction and provides feedback to improve the user's success rate and satisfaction. For example, based on the results of past interactions, it analyzes which approaches are more likely to succeed and which messages are effective, and provides advice to the user. In this way, the verification unit plays a role in supporting the user's dating and marriage-seeking activities and improving their success rate.
[0034] The parallel communication function allows for simultaneous interaction with multiple people. For example, the parallel communication function allows an AI agent to exchange messages with multiple users simultaneously. Furthermore, the parallel communication function allows an AI agent to simultaneously schedule multiple dates. For instance, the AI agent can exchange messages with multiple users at the same time and provide appropriate responses to each user. It can also simultaneously schedule multiple dates and propose dates that fit each user's schedule. This allows users to engage in dating and relationship activities without becoming overwhelmed by the ability to interact with multiple people in parallel.
[0035] The intervention unit can intervene at times it deems important. For example, it can intervene when a user is making a date and provide appropriate advice. It can also intervene when a user asks an important question and provide an appropriate answer. For instance, when a user is making a date, the AI agent can provide appropriate advice, allowing the user to make the arrangement smoothly. Similarly, when a user asks an important question, the AI agent can provide an appropriate answer, enabling the user to respond appropriately. This allows for more appropriate responses by intervening at times the user deems important.
[0036] The creation unit can create a personal AI for each user and have the AIs communicate with each other on their behalf. For example, the creation unit can customize the personal AI based on the user's data, creating an AI that matches the user's tone of voice and personality. Furthermore, by having the AIs communicate with each other on their behalf, the creation unit eliminates the need for the user to interact directly. For example, by customizing the personal AI based on the user's data, creating an AI that matches the user's tone of voice and personality. Furthermore, by having the AIs communicate with each other on their behalf, the user eliminates the need for the user to interact directly. This allows for more personalized responses by creating a personal AI for each user.
[0037] The proxy function can provide responses that match the user's tone of voice and personality. For example, the proxy function's AI agent can analyze the user's past interaction history and generate the most appropriate message. The proxy function's AI agent can also generate messages that match the user's tone of voice and personality. For example, the AI agent can analyze the user's past interaction history and generate the most appropriate message. The AI agent can also generate messages that match the user's tone of voice and personality. This allows for more natural interactions by providing responses that match the user's tone of voice and personality.
[0038] The verification unit can check the progress and results. For example, the verification unit can have an AI agent report the progress to the user, allowing the user to intervene as needed. The verification unit can also have an AI agent report the results to the user, allowing the user to decide on the next step. This makes it easier for the user to understand the situation by checking the progress and results.
[0039] The reception desk can analyze a user's past profile registration history and select the optimal registration method. For example, the reception desk can analyze the content of a user's past profile registrations and suggest the most suitable method. It can also prioritize suggesting registration methods the user has used in the past (manual, voice input, etc.). Furthermore, based on the user's past registration history, the reception desk can suggest the most suitable registration method for a specific time period. This allows the reception desk to suggest the optimal registration method by analyzing the user's past profile registration history.
[0040] The reception desk can filter profiles based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest during the profile registration process. For example, the reception desk can filter profile content based on the user's current lifestyle (work, hobbies, etc.). It can also filter profile content based on the user's areas of interest (sports, music, etc.). Furthermore, the reception desk can suggest the most suitable profile registration method based on the user's lifestyle and areas of interest. This allows for more appropriate profile registration by filtering based on the user's lifestyle and areas of interest.
[0041] The reception desk can prioritize registering highly relevant information when a user registers their profile, taking into account their geographical location. For example, the reception desk can prioritize registering highly relevant information based on the user's current location. It can also prioritize registering highly relevant information based on the user's past location. Furthermore, the reception desk can analyze the user's location information and suggest the optimal profile registration method. For example, it can prioritize registering highly relevant information based on the user's current location. It can also prioritize registering highly relevant information based on the user's past location. Furthermore, it can analyze the user's location information and suggest the optimal profile registration method. As a result, highly relevant information is prioritized when the user's geographical location is taken into consideration.
[0042] The reception desk can analyze a user's social media activity during profile registration and register relevant information. For example, the reception desk can analyze a user's social media activity and register relevant information in their profile. It can also suggest the most suitable profile registration method based on the user's social media posts. Furthermore, the reception desk can analyze a user's social media friendships and register relevant information in their profile. This ensures that relevant information is registered in the profile by analyzing the user's social media activity.
[0043] The proxy service can adjust the level of detail provided based on the importance of the communication during the proxy process. For example, the proxy service can provide detailed information for important communication, and concise information for general communication. Furthermore, the proxy service can respond quickly to urgent communication. This allows for more appropriate responses by adjusting the level of detail based on the importance of the communication.
[0044] The proxy function can apply different proxy algorithms depending on the category of the interaction during the proxy process. For example, when arranging a date, the proxy function applies a schedule management algorithm. It can also apply a natural language processing algorithm when exchanging messages. Furthermore, it can apply a recommendation system algorithm when exchanging "likes." This allows for more appropriate responses by applying different proxy algorithms depending on the category of the interaction.
[0045] The proxy service can determine the priority of the proxy service based on the submission timing of the correspondence. For example, the proxy service will prioritize urgent correspondence. It can also prioritize important correspondence. Furthermore, it can prioritize general correspondence. This allows for more appropriate responses by determining the priority of the proxy service based on the submission timing of the correspondence.
[0046] The proxy unit can adjust the order of proxy actions based on the relevance of the interactions. For example, the proxy unit can prioritize handling highly relevant interactions. It can also postpone handling less relevant interactions. Furthermore, the proxy unit can analyze the relevance of interactions and handle them in the optimal order. For example, it can prioritize handling highly relevant interactions. It can also postpone handling less relevant interactions. Furthermore, it can analyze the relevance of interactions and handle them in the optimal order. This allows for more appropriate responses by adjusting the order of proxy actions based on the relevance of the interactions.
[0047] The response unit can analyze the user's past interaction history to select the optimal response method when responding. For example, the response unit can analyze the user's past interaction history and propose the optimal response method. It can also prioritize suggesting response methods the user has preferred in the past. Furthermore, the response unit can suggest the optimal response method for a specific time period based on the user's past interaction history. This allows the system to propose the optimal response method by analyzing past interaction history.
[0048] The response unit can customize its response methods based on the user's current life circumstances. For example, it can customize its response methods based on the user's current life circumstances (work, hobbies, etc.). It can also customize its response methods based on the user's areas of interest (sports, music, etc.). Furthermore, it can suggest the most appropriate response method based on the user's life circumstances and areas of interest. This allows for more appropriate responses by customizing the response methods according to the user's life circumstances.
[0049] The response unit can select the optimal response method when responding, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, the response unit can propose the optimal response method based on the user's current location. It can also propose the optimal response method based on the user's past location information. Furthermore, the response unit can analyze the user's location information and propose the optimal response method. This allows the system to propose the optimal response method by considering the user's geographical location information.
[0050] The response unit can analyze the user's social media activity and suggest appropriate response methods when responding. For example, the response unit can analyze the user's social media activity and suggest the most suitable response method. It can also suggest the most suitable response method based on the content of the user's social media posts. Furthermore, the response unit can analyze the user's social media friendships and suggest the most suitable response method. This allows the system to suggest the most appropriate response method by analyzing the user's social media activity.
[0051] The verification unit can select the optimal verification method by considering the user's device information during verification. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the verification unit provides a verification method that matches the screen size. Furthermore, if the user is using a tablet, the verification unit can provide a verification method optimized for larger screens. Also, if the user is using a smartwatch, the verification unit can provide a concise and highly visible verification method. This allows the system to propose the optimal verification method by considering the user's device information.
[0052] The parallel processing unit can select the optimal parallel processing method by referring to the user's past interaction history during parallel processing. For example, the parallel processing unit can refer to the user's past interaction history and propose the optimal parallel processing method. Furthermore, the parallel processing unit can prioritize suggesting parallel processing methods that the user has preferred in the past. Additionally, the parallel processing unit can propose the optimal parallel processing method for a specific time period based on the user's past interaction history. This allows the optimal parallel processing method to be proposed by referring to past interaction history.

It can also recommend partners with shared hobbies and interests based on the user's interests and interests. Furthermore, it can recommend partners who are more likely to be successful based on the user's dating success rate. This makes it easier for users to find their ideal partner and allows them to efficiently pursue matchmaking and dating.
[0064] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0065] Step 1: The reception desk registers the user's profile. The profile includes name, age, hobbies, occupation, etc. The reception desk saves the information entered by the user to a database so that it can be used by the AI agent. Step 2: The proxy service uses AI agents to handle tasks such as sending "likes," exchanging messages, and scheduling dates. The proxy service uses AI agents to send "likes" and exchange messages on behalf of the user. The AI agents can also manage the user's schedule and schedule dates. Step 3: The response unit provides responses tailored to the user's tone and character during interactions conducted by the proxy unit. The response unit uses an AI agent to analyze the user's past interaction history and generate the most appropriate message. The AI agent can also generate messages that match the user's tone and character. Step 4: The verification unit checks the progress and results of the interaction conducted by the response unit.

[0066] (Example of form 2) The matchmaking and dating support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes an AI agent to reduce the mental burden of matchmaking and dating services. In this system, the user registers a profile, and the AI agent handles tasks such as sending "likes," exchanging messages, and scheduling dates. The AI agent responds in a manner that matches the user's tone and character, and conducts interviews on their behalf. The user only needs to check the progress and results, and can intervene as needed at points they deem important. This mechanism reduces the mental burden on the user, allowing them to efficiently find their ideal partner. Furthermore, because the AI agent handles interactions with multiple people in parallel, the user can proceed with matchmaking and dating without becoming fatigued. For example, when a user registers a profile, the AI agent automatically sends a "like" and starts exchanging messages. The AI agent analyzes the user's past interaction history and generates the most appropriate message. In addition, the AI agent manages the user's schedule and schedules dates. This allows the user to efficiently proceed with matchmaking and dating. As a result, the matchmaking and dating support system reduces the mental burden on the user and allows them to efficiently find their ideal partner.
[0067] The matchmaking / dating support system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an agency unit, a response unit, and a confirmation unit. The reception unit allows users to register their profiles. The profiles include, for example, name, age, hobbies, occupation, etc., but are not limited to these examples. The reception unit, for example, stores the information entered by the user in a database so that it can be used by the AI agent. The agency unit allows the AI agent to act on behalf of the user, such as sending "likes," exchanging messages, and scheduling dates. For example, the agency unit allows the AI agent to send "likes" and exchange messages on behalf of the user. The agency unit can also allow the AI agent to manage the user's schedule and schedule dates. The response unit provides responses in accordance with the user's tone and character during interactions conducted by the agency unit. For example, the response unit allows the AI agent to analyze the user's past interaction history and generate the most appropriate message. The response unit can also allow the AI agent to generate messages that match the user's tone and character. The confirmation unit checks the progress and results of interactions conducted by the response unit. The verification unit, for example, allows an AI agent to report the progress to the user, and the user can intervene as needed. As a result, the matchmaking / dating support system according to this embodiment reduces the user's mental burden and allows them to efficiently find their ideal partner.
[0068] The reception desk allows users to register their profiles. These profiles may include, but are not limited to, name, age, hobbies, and occupation. Specifically, users enter their profile information through a dedicated application or website. In addition to name, age, hobbies, and occupation, users can register detailed information such as height, weight, birthplace, education level, annual income, marital status, whether they have children, whether they have pets, favorite movies and music, and how they spend their holidays. This information is crucial for users to find their ideal partner. The reception desk stores the entered information in a database, making it available to AI agents. The database is securely managed to prevent the leakage of personal information. Users can update their profile information at any time to reflect the latest information. This allows the reception desk to efficiently collect detailed user profile information and provide a foundation for AI agents to perform optimal matching.
[0069] The proxy service uses AI agents to handle tasks such as sending "likes," exchanging messages, and scheduling dates. Specifically, the AI agents select the most suitable partners based on the user's profile information and past communication history, and send "likes" to them. The AI agents automatically find partners that match the user's preferences and criteria, and approach them efficiently. In addition, during message exchanges, the AI agents generate messages that match the user's tone and personality, facilitating smooth communication. Furthermore, when scheduling dates, the AI agents manage the user's schedule, coordinate with the other party, and propose the best date. This eliminates the hassle of cumbersome communication and scheduling, allowing users to efficiently meet their ideal partner. The proxy service plays a role in reducing the user's burden by automating a series of processes on behalf of the user with AI agents.
[0070] The response unit, in interactions conducted by the proxy unit, provides responses that are in line with the user's tone and character. Specifically, the AI agent analyzes the user's past interaction history to understand the user's communication style and preferences. For example, it learns the words, expressions, and sense of humor that the user usually uses, and generates the most appropriate messages based on that. The AI agent utilizes natural language processing technology to generate messages that match the user's tone and character, facilitating smooth communication. Furthermore, the response unit can accurately understand the user's emotions and intentions and provide appropriate responses accordingly. For example, if the user shows interest in the other party, it will ask questions that will pique that interest; conversely, if the user has lost interest, it will guide them to end the interaction at an appropriate time. In this way, the response unit supports the user's communication and plays a role in fostering smooth relationships with others.
[0071] The verification unit checks the progress and results of interactions conducted by the response unit. Specifically, the AI agent periodically reports the progress of the interaction to the user, allowing the user to understand the situation. For example, the AI agent may report to the user, "The interaction with Mr. / Ms. XX is progressing smoothly," or "The date with Mr. / Ms. XX has been set." It also provides an interface for checking the progress and results so that the user can intervene in the interaction as needed. The user can review the messages and interaction content generated by the AI agent and make corrections or additional instructions as needed. In this way, the verification unit plays a role in supporting the user in understanding the status of the interaction and intervening at the appropriate time. Furthermore, the verification unit analyzes the results of the interaction and provides feedback to improve the user's success rate and satisfaction. For example, based on the results of past interactions, it analyzes which approaches are more likely to succeed and which messages are effective, and provides advice to the user. In this way, the verification unit plays a role in supporting the user's dating and marriage-seeking activities and improving their success rate.
[0072] The parallel communication function allows for simultaneous interaction with multiple people. For example, the parallel communication function allows an AI agent to exchange messages with multiple users simultaneously. Furthermore, the parallel communication function allows an AI agent to simultaneously schedule multiple dates. For instance, the AI agent can exchange messages with multiple users at the same time and provide appropriate responses to each user. It can also simultaneously schedule multiple dates and propose dates that fit each user's schedule. This allows users to engage in dating and relationship activities without becoming overwhelmed by the ability to interact with multiple people in parallel.
[0073] The intervention unit can intervene at times it deems important. For example, it can intervene when a user is making a date and provide appropriate advice. It can also intervene when a user asks an important question and provide an appropriate answer. For instance, when a user is making a date, the AI agent can provide appropriate advice, allowing the user to make the arrangement smoothly. Similarly, when a user asks an important question, the AI agent can provide an appropriate answer, enabling the user to respond appropriately. This allows for more appropriate responses by intervening at times the user deems important.
[0074] The creation unit can create a personal AI for each user and have the AIs communicate with each other on their behalf. For example, the creation unit can customize the personal AI based on the user's data, creating an AI that matches the user's tone of voice and personality. Furthermore, by having the AIs communicate with each other on their behalf, the creation unit eliminates the need for the user to interact directly. For example, by customizing the personal AI based on the user's data, creating an AI that matches the user's tone of voice and personality. Furthermore, by having the AIs communicate with each other on their behalf, the user eliminates the need for the user to interact directly. This allows for more personalized responses by creating a personal AI for each user.

[0121] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0122] Step 1: The reception desk registers the user's profile. The profile includes name, age, hobbies, occupation, etc. The reception desk saves the information entered by the user to a database so that it can be used by the AI agent. Step 2: The proxy service uses AI agents to handle tasks such as sending "likes," exchanging messages, and scheduling dates. The proxy service uses AI agents to send "likes" and exchange messages on behalf of the user. The AI agents can also manage the user's schedule and schedule dates. Step 3: The response unit provides responses tailored to the user's tone and character during interactions conducted by the proxy unit. The response unit uses an AI agent to analyze the user's past interaction history and generate the most appropriate message. The AI agent can also generate messages that match the user's tone and character. Step 4: The verification unit checks the progress and results of the interaction conducted by the response unit. The verification unit allows the AI agent to report the progress to the user, and the user can intervene as needed.

[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, proxy unit, response unit, confirmation unit, parallel unit, intervention unit, and creation unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where the user registers their profile. The proxy unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, where the AI agent handles tasks such as liking posts, exchanging messages, and scheduling dates. The response unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where it responds in a manner appropriate to the user's tone and character. The confirmation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, where it checks the progress and results of the interaction. The parallel unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where it interacts with multiple people in parallel. The intervention unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, where it intervenes at points deemed important. The creation unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which creates a personal AI for each user and has the AIs communicate with each other on their behalf. 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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."
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
