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 receiving 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 receiving 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. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.

[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text). The display 40A displays visible information such as text and images according to instructions from the processor 46. The speaker 40B outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46. The camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system such as a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.

[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. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart device 14 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[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) An AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that eliminates the need for guide dogs by equipping visually impaired individuals with camera-equipped sunglasses and an earphone microphone set. With this system, the user simply tells the AI ​​where they want to go and what their requirements are, and the AI ​​acts as the user's eyes and feet, guiding them to their destination while avoiding danger. Furthermore, when shopping, the AI ​​searches for what the user wants and provides support based on the user's instructions. For example, the user equips the camera-equipped sunglasses and earphone microphone set and tells the AI ​​where they want to go and what their requirements are through the earphone microphone. For example, they might give instructions such as "I want to go to the station" or "I want to buy milk at the supermarket." This information is input into the AI. The AI ​​analyzes the video data from the camera-equipped sunglasses to understand the user's surroundings. For example, it recognizes obstacles on the sidewalk and the status of traffic lights. Next, the AI ​​calculates the optimal route from the user's current location to the destination and guides the user along that route. For example, it provides voice guidance such as "Turn right" or "The light has turned green." Furthermore, when shopping, the AI ​​searches for what the user wants. For example, if a user instructs the AI ​​to "find the milk" in a supermarket, the AI ​​analyzes video data from camera-equipped sunglasses to pinpoint the location of the milk. It then provides voice guidance to the user, such as "The milk is on the shelf on the right." This system enables visually impaired individuals to move around and shop independently without the need for a guide dog. The AI ​​acts as the user's eyes and feet, safely guiding them to their destination while avoiding dangers, thus supporting their daily lives. In this way, the AI ​​system enables visually impaired individuals to move around and shop independently.

[0029] The AI ​​system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a guidance unit, and a hazard avoidance unit. The reception unit receives user instructions. User instructions include, but are not limited to, voice instructions, touch operations, and gestures. The reception unit receives user voice instructions using, for example, voice recognition technology. The reception unit can also receive user touch operations using a touch panel. Furthermore, the reception unit can also receive user gestures using gesture recognition technology. The analysis unit analyzes video data from sunglasses with a camera. For example, image recognition algorithms and machine learning techniques are used to analyze the video data. The analysis unit detects obstacles on the sidewalk using, for example, object recognition technology. The analysis unit can also recognize the state of traffic lights using color recognition technology. Furthermore, the analysis unit can measure the distance between the user and obstacles using distance measurement technology. The guidance unit provides voice guidance based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. Voice guidance includes, for example, the type of voice and the timing of the guidance. The guidance unit provides voice guidance to the user using, for example, speech synthesis technology. Furthermore, the guidance unit can calculate the optimal route from the user's current location to their destination and provide voice guidance along that route. In addition, the guidance unit can identify items during shopping based on the user's instructions and guide the user to their location. The hazard avoidance unit detects obstacles and issues warnings to ensure the user's safety. Obstacle detection can be performed using, for example, sensor technology or image recognition technology. The hazard avoidance unit can detect obstacles using, for example, ultrasonic sensors. The hazard avoidance unit can also recognize the status of traffic lights using a camera. Furthermore, the hazard avoidance unit can issue warnings to the user using voice warnings or vibration warnings. As a result, the AI ​​system according to this embodiment enables visually impaired individuals to move around and shop independently. Some or all of the above-described processes in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's voice instructions into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform analysis of the voice instructions.Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input video data from camera-equipped sunglasses into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the analysis of the video data. Some or all of the above-described processes in the guidance unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the guidance unit can input the information analyzed by the analysis unit into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the generation of voice guidance. Some or all of the above-described processes in the hazard avoidance unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the hazard avoidance unit can input obstacle detection information into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the generation of warnings.

[0030] The reception unit receives user instructions. User instructions include, but are not limited to, voice commands, touch operations, and gestures. The reception unit can, for example, receive voice commands using voice recognition technology. Specifically, voice recognition technology includes a process that extracts voice features and converts the voice data into text data. This allows the reception unit to accurately understand the voice commands spoken by the user and process them appropriately. The reception unit can also receive user touch operations using a touch panel. The touch panel uses technologies such as capacitive and resistive touch, allowing users to input instructions by touching the screen. Furthermore, the reception unit can also receive user gestures using gesture recognition technology. Gesture recognition technology uses cameras and sensors to detect the movements of the user's hands and body, analyzes those movements, and recognizes them as instructions. For example, a user can execute a specific command by waving their hand. This allows the reception unit to receive user instructions using a variety of input methods, improving user convenience. Furthermore, the reception unit can also use a combination of these input methods, allowing users to input instructions in the way that is most convenient for them. For example, voice commands and touch operations can be combined to input more complex instructions. This allows the reception desk to respond to diverse user needs and enable flexible operation.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes video data from the camera-equipped sunglasses. For example, image recognition algorithms and machine learning techniques are used to analyze the video data. Specifically, image recognition algorithms such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used, enabling the detection of specific objects and patterns from the video data. The analysis unit can, for example, detect obstacles on the sidewalk using object recognition technology. Object recognition technology can identify specific objects from video data and determine their location and shape. This reduces the risk of the user colliding with obstacles while walking. The analysis unit can also recognize the status of traffic lights using color recognition technology. Color recognition technology can detect specific colors from video data and track changes in those colors. This allows the user to accurately understand the status of traffic lights and cross the road safely. Furthermore, the analysis unit can measure the distance between the user and obstacles using distance measurement technology. Stereo cameras and laser rangefinders are used as distance measurement technologies, enabling accurate measurement of the distance between the user and obstacles. This allows for warnings to be issued before the user gets too close to an obstacle. By combining these technologies, the analysis unit can gain a detailed understanding of the user's surroundings and provide appropriate information. For example, by combining object recognition technology and distance measurement technology, it can simultaneously determine the location and distance of obstacles and issue more accurate warnings to the user. This allows the analysis unit to ensure the user's safety and provide an environment where they can move with peace of mind.

[0032] The guidance unit provides voice guidance based on information analyzed by the analysis unit. This voice guidance includes, but is not limited to, the type of voice and the timing of the guidance. The guidance unit can, for example, use speech synthesis technology to provide voice guidance to the user. Speech synthesis technology involves a process of converting text data into speech data, thereby providing information to the user in a natural voice. The guidance unit can also calculate the optimal route from the user's current location to their destination and provide voice guidance along that route. Route calculation uses algorithms that identify the shortest and safest routes using GPS data and map data. This allows the user to reach their destination without getting lost. Furthermore, the guidance unit can identify items during shopping based on user instructions and provide directions to their locations. For example, if a user wants to know the location of a specific product, the guidance unit can refer to in-store map data and product databases to locate the product and provide voice directions. This allows the user to shop efficiently. By combining these functions, the guidance unit can provide comprehensive guidance to the user. For example, if a user wants to shop on their way to their destination, the navigation system can calculate the optimal route and guide them to the locations of shops and products they should visit along the way. This allows the user to accomplish multiple objectives in a single trip. Furthermore, the navigation system can learn the user's preferences and past behavioral history to provide more personalized guidance. For instance, it can improve user convenience by prioritizing information on shops and products that the user frequently uses.

[0033] The hazard avoidance unit detects obstacles and issues warnings to ensure user safety. Obstacle detection utilizes technologies such as sensors and image recognition. Specifically, ultrasonic sensors and infrared sensors are used to detect the presence of obstacles. Ultrasonic sensors emit ultrasonic waves and receive the reflected waves to measure the distance to the obstacle. This allows the unit to issue a warning before the user gets too close to the obstacle. The hazard avoidance unit can also recognize the status of traffic lights using a camera. The camera acquires video data and uses image recognition technology to analyze the color and shape of the traffic lights. This allows the user to accurately understand the status of the traffic lights and cross the road safely. Furthermore, the hazard avoidance unit can issue warnings to the user using voice and vibration. Voice warnings use speech synthesis technology to convey specific warning content to the user. For example, it can issue a warning such as, "There is an obstacle ahead. Please be careful." Vibration warnings can convey a warning to the user by vibrating a device they are wearing (e.g., a smartwatch or belt). This ensures that users with visual or hearing impairments can reliably receive the warning. The hazard avoidance unit can ensure user safety by combining these technologies. For example, by combining ultrasonic sensors and cameras, it can simultaneously detect the presence of obstacles and the status of traffic lights, and issue appropriate warnings. This allows users to move with peace of mind. Furthermore, the hazard avoidance unit can learn the user's behavior patterns and environmental changes to provide more effective warnings. For example, if a user frequently travels a specific route at a specific time, it can warn of dangerous areas along that route in advance. In this way, the hazard avoidance unit can maximize user safety and enable them to live their daily lives with peace of mind.

[0034] The analysis unit can analyze video data from camera-equipped sunglasses to understand the user's surroundings. For example, the analysis unit can use object recognition technology to analyze video data from camera-equipped sunglasses and understand the user's surroundings. For example, the analysis unit can use an object recognition algorithm to detect obstacles on the sidewalk. The analysis unit can also use color recognition technology to recognize the state of traffic lights. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use distance measurement technology to measure the distance between the user and obstacles. For example, the analysis unit can analyze video data from camera-equipped sunglasses in real time to understand the user's surroundings. This allows for appropriate guidance by understanding the user's surroundings. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input video data from camera-equipped sunglasses into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the analysis of the video data.

[0035] The guidance unit can calculate an efficient route from the user's current location to their destination and provide voice guidance along that route. For example, the guidance unit uses a route calculation algorithm to calculate an efficient route from the user's current location to their destination. For example, the guidance unit uses Dijkstra's algorithm or the A* algorithm to calculate the shortest distance. The guidance unit can also acquire real-time traffic information to calculate a route considering traffic conditions. Furthermore, the guidance unit can identify the user's current location based on GPS data and calculate a route to their destination. For example, the guidance unit calculates the optimal route from the user's current location to their destination and provides voice guidance along that route. This ensures that the user can safely reach their destination by calculating the optimal route and providing voice guidance. Some or all of the above processes in the guidance unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the guidance unit can input the user's current location and destination information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform route calculation and voice guidance generation.

[0036] The hazard avoidance unit can recognize obstacles on the sidewalk and the status of traffic lights using a camera and provide voice warnings to the user. For example, the hazard avoidance unit can recognize obstacles on the sidewalk using a camera. For example, the hazard avoidance unit can detect obstacles on the sidewalk using object recognition technology. The hazard avoidance unit can also use color recognition technology to recognize the status of traffic lights. For example, the hazard avoidance unit can recognize the color of the traffic light and provide a voice warning to the user to stop if the light is red. Furthermore, the hazard avoidance unit can also use speech synthesis technology to provide voice warnings to the user. For example, the hazard avoidance unit can provide a voice warning to the user such as, "There is an obstacle ahead." In this way, the safety of the user is ensured by recognizing obstacles and the status of traffic lights and providing voice warnings. Some or all of the above processing in the hazard avoidance unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the hazard avoidance unit can input video data acquired by the camera into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the recognition of obstacles and the status of traffic lights and the generation of warnings.

[0037] The reception unit can receive user instructions and input them into the AI. For example, the reception unit can receive user voice instructions using speech recognition technology. For instance, if a user gives a voice instruction such as "I want to go to the station," the reception unit recognizes the voice and inputs it into the AI. The reception unit can also receive user touch operations using a touch panel. For example, if a user selects a destination on the touch panel, that information is input into the AI. Furthermore, the reception unit can also receive user gestures using gesture recognition technology. For example, if a user performs a specific gesture, the gesture is recognized and input into the AI. In this way, by receiving user instructions and inputting them into the AI, the system performs actions according to the user's requests. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's voice instructions into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform analysis of the voice instructions.

[0038] The analysis unit can identify items and guide users to their locations while they are shopping. For example, the analysis unit can analyze video data from camera-equipped sunglasses to identify items. For example, the analysis unit can use image recognition technology to identify milk on a supermarket shelf. The analysis unit can also use barcode recognition technology to read the barcode of an item and identify its location. Furthermore, after identifying the location of an item, the analysis unit can provide voice guidance to the user to guide them to that location. For example, the analysis unit can provide voice guidance to the user such as, "The milk is on the shelf on the right." This allows users to shop efficiently by identifying items and guiding them to their locations. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input video data from camera-equipped sunglasses into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform item identification and generate location guidance.

[0039] The reception unit can analyze the user's past instruction history and select an appropriate reception method. For example, the reception unit can analyze the user's past instruction history using database search technology. For example, the reception unit can automatically display instructions that the user has frequently given in the past as candidates. The reception unit can also prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception unit can predict and suggest instructions to be used during specific time periods based on the user's past instruction history. For example, the reception unit can prioritize displaying instructions related to a specific time period based on instructions the user has given in the past during that time period. In this way, by analyzing the past instruction history, the reception unit can provide the user with the most suitable reception method. 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 can input the user's past instruction history into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the analysis of the instruction history and the selection of a reception method.

[0040] The reception unit can filter instructions based on the user's current situation and environment when receiving them. For example, the reception unit can use location information technology to identify the user's current situation and environment. For example, the reception unit can identify the user's current location based on GPS data and filter instructions based on that information. The reception unit can also use speech recognition technology to analyze ambient sounds. For example, if the user is outdoors, the reception unit can adjust the sensitivity of voice input considering the surrounding noise. Furthermore, if the user is indoors, the reception unit can increase the sensitivity of voice input to match the quiet environment. For example, if the user is on the move, the reception unit prioritizes receiving instructions related to the user's current location based on GPS information. This allows the reception unit to receive appropriate instructions by filtering according to the user's situation and environment. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's location information and ambient sound data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.

[0041] The reception unit can prioritize receiving instructions that are highly relevant, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, the reception unit can obtain the user's geographical location information using GPS data. For example, if the user is in a specific location, the reception unit will prioritize receiving instructions related to that location. The reception unit can also prioritize receiving instructions related to the user's current location if the user is on the move. Furthermore, if the reception unit is in a specific area, the reception unit can prioritize receiving instructions related to that area. For example, if the reception unit is in a specific tourist destination, the reception unit will prioritize receiving instructions related to that tourist destination. In this way, by considering geographical location information, highly relevant instructions are prioritized. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI select highly relevant instructions.

[0042] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity when receiving instructions and accept relevant instructions. The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity using, for example, social media analysis technology. For example, the reception unit can accept relevant instructions based on information shared by the user on social media. The reception unit can also analyze the content of the user's social media posts and accept relevant instructions. Furthermore, the reception unit can accept relevant instructions based on the user's social media activity history. For example, if the reception unit posts on social media, "I want to buy milk at the supermarket," it will accept relevant instructions based on that information. In this way, relevant instructions are received by analyzing social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select relevant instructions.

[0043] The analysis unit can improve the accuracy of its analysis by referring to the user's past behavior history when analyzing video data. For example, the analysis unit can refer to the user's past behavior history using database search technology. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the current route based on routes the user has taken in the past. The analysis unit can also extract specific patterns from the user's past behavior history to improve the accuracy of its analysis. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the user's past behavior history and perform analysis appropriate to the current situation. For example, the analysis unit can predict the user's actions at a specific location based on actions the user has taken there in the past, thereby improving the accuracy of its analysis. In this way, the accuracy of the analysis is improved by referring to past behavior history. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's past behavior history into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform behavior history referencing and analysis accuracy improvement.

[0044] The analysis unit can customize the analysis algorithm based on the user's current situation when analyzing video data. For example, the analysis unit uses location information technology and environmental sensors to identify the user's current situation. For instance, if the user is outdoors, the analysis unit uses an analysis algorithm appropriate for the surrounding environment.

With this system, the user simply tells the AI ​​where they want to go and what their requirements are, and the AI ​​acts as the user's eyes and feet, guiding them to their destination while avoiding danger. Furthermore, when shopping, the AI ​​searches for what the user wants and provides support based on the user's instructions. For example, the user equips the camera-equipped sunglasses and earphone microphone set and tells the AI ​​where they want to go and what their requirements are through the earphone microphone. For example, they might give instructions such as "I want to go to the station" or "I want to buy milk at the supermarket." This information is input into the AI. The AI ​​analyzes the video data from the camera-equipped sunglasses to understand the user's surroundings. For example, it recognizes obstacles on the sidewalk and the status of traffic lights. Next, the AI ​​calculates the optimal route from the user's current location to the destination and guides the user along that route. For example, it provides voice guidance such as "Turn right" or "The light has turned green." Furthermore, when shopping, the AI ​​searches for what the user wants. For example, if a user instructs the AI ​​to "find the milk" in a supermarket, the AI ​​analyzes video data from camera-equipped sunglasses to pinpoint the location of the milk. It then provides voice guidance to the user, such as "The milk is on the shelf on the right." This system enables visually impaired individuals to move around and shop independently without the need for a guide dog.

[0067] The reception unit receives user instructions. User instructions include, but are not limited to, voice commands, touch operations, and gestures. The reception unit can, for example, receive voice commands using voice recognition technology. Specifically, voice recognition technology includes a process that extracts voice features and converts the voice data into text data. This allows the reception unit to accurately understand the voice commands spoken by the user and process them appropriately. The reception unit can also receive user touch operations using a touch panel. The touch panel uses technologies such as capacitive and resistive touch, allowing users to input instructions by touching the screen. Furthermore, the reception unit can also receive user gestures using gesture recognition technology. Gesture recognition technology uses cameras and sensors to detect the movements of the user's hands and body, analyzes those movements, and recognizes them as instructions. For example, a user can execute a specific command by waving their hand. This allows the reception unit to receive user instructions using a variety of input methods, improving user convenience. Furthermore, the reception unit can also use a combination of these input methods, allowing users to input instructions in the way that is most convenient for them. For example, voice commands and touch operations can be combined to input more complex instructions. This allows the reception desk to respond to diverse user needs and enable flexible operation.

[0068] The analysis unit analyzes video data from the camera-equipped sunglasses. For example, image recognition algorithms and machine learning techniques are used to analyze the video data. Specifically, image recognition algorithms such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used, enabling the detection of specific objects and patterns from the video data. The analysis unit can, for example, detect obstacles on the sidewalk using object recognition technology.

The analysis unit can also recognize the status of traffic lights using color recognition technology. Color recognition technology can detect specific colors from video data and track changes in those colors. This allows the user to accurately understand the status of traffic lights and cross the road safely. Furthermore, the analysis unit can measure the distance between the user and obstacles using distance measurement technology. Stereo cameras and laser rangefinders are used as distance measurement technologies, enabling accurate measurement of the distance between the user and obstacles. This allows for warnings to be issued before the user gets too close to an obstacle.

Speech synthesis technology involves a process of converting text data into speech data, thereby providing information to the user in a natural voice. The guidance unit can also calculate the optimal route from the user's current location to their destination and provide voice guidance along that route. Route calculation uses algorithms that identify the shortest and safest routes using GPS data and map data. This allows the user to reach their destination without getting lost.

This allows the user to accomplish multiple objectives in a single trip. Furthermore, the navigation system can learn the user's preferences and past behavioral history to provide more personalized guidance. For instance, it can improve user convenience by prioritizing information on shops and products that the user frequently uses.

[0070] The hazard avoidance unit detects obstacles and issues warnings to ensure user safety. Obstacle detection utilizes technologies such as sensors and image recognition. Specifically, ultrasonic sensors and infrared sensors are used to detect the presence of obstacles. Ultrasonic sensors emit ultrasonic waves and receive the reflected waves to measure the distance to the obstacle. This allows the unit to issue a warning before the user gets too close to the obstacle. The hazard avoidance unit can also recognize the status of traffic lights using a camera. The camera acquires video data and uses image recognition technology to analyze the color and shape of the traffic lights. This allows the user to accurately understand the status of the traffic lights and cross the road safely.

For example, the analysis unit can input video data from camera-equipped sunglasses into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform item identification and generate location guidance.

[0076] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust how instructions are received based on the estimated emotions. For example, the reception desk can estimate the user's emotions using facial recognition technology. For instance, it can analyze facial data captured by a camera to estimate whether the user is tense or relaxed. Alternatively, the reception desk can estimate the user's emotions using voice analysis technology. For example, it can analyze the tone and speed of the user's voice to estimate their emotions. Furthermore, the reception desk adjusts how instructions are received based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is tense, it can provide a simple and intuitive interface to facilitate instruction input. If the user is relaxed, it can offer detailed options and suggest customizable instruction input. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can prioritize voice input to quickly receive instructions. This allows for a more appropriate interface by adjusting how instructions are received according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using emotion estimation functions, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. The generating AI may be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0157] 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.

[0162] 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 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.

[0163] 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).

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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, guidance unit, and hazard avoidance unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit receives user instructions using the microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit analyzes video data from the camera 42 of the robot 414 using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The guidance unit provides voice guidance based on the information analyzed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The hazard avoidance unit detects obstacles using the camera 42 of the robot 414 and ultrasonic sensors, and generates a warning using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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."

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. 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.
