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 mental state stabilization system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that promotes mental state stabilization and mood improvement by providing a new painting automatically generated by AI every day and collecting and recording the user's emotional changes. This system generates and provides a painting that the user will like, taking into account factors such as the weather and the previous day's mental state. If a period of no improvement in mood is observed, early intervention is performed to contribute to the prevention of depression and improvement of dementia. This system makes it easier and more convenient to maintain daily mental health than conventional painting exchanges. For example, the mental state stabilization system obtains weather information from the internet, and the previous day's mental state is based on data entered by the user. Next, the AI ​​analyzes this information and generates a painting that the user will like. For example, it can generate a painting with bright colors on a sunny day and a painting with calm colors on a rainy day. The generated painting is provided to the user's device. The user records changes in emotion after viewing the provided painting. For example, after viewing the painting, the user enters comments such as "I feel better" or "No change." These emotional changes are collected and recorded by the AI. If a period of no improvement in mood is observed, the AI ​​suggests early intervention. For example, it can display messages encouraging users to consult with experts. This is expected to contribute to the prevention of depression and the improvement of dementia. This system makes it easy and convenient for users to maintain their mental health on a daily basis. In conventional painting exchange systems, users had to choose paintings themselves, but in this system, AI automatically generates and provides paintings, saving users time and effort. In addition, by collecting and recording changes in the user's emotions, more personalized support becomes possible. As a result, the mental state stabilization system can stabilize the user's mental state and promote mood improvement.

[0029] The mental state stabilization system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, a provision unit, a recording unit, and an intervention unit. The collection unit collects information on the weather and the mental state of the previous day. The collection unit can, for example, collect weather information from the internet. The collection unit can also collect data on the mental state of the previous day entered by the user. For example, the collection unit can obtain weather information using a specific API and collect data on the mental state of the previous day from the user in the form of a questionnaire. The analysis unit analyzes the collected weather information and the data on the mental state of the previous day. The analysis unit can analyze the collected data using, for example, statistical analysis or machine learning algorithms. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the relationship between weather information and mental state using correlation analysis and construct a predictive model using regression analysis. The generation unit generates paintings that the user likes based on the analysis results. The generation unit can generate paintings based on the analysis results using, for example, a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can generate paintings according to the user's preferences using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). The generation unit can also generate paintings according to the user's preferences using a multimodal generation AI. For example, the generation unit generates paintings with bright colors on sunny days and paintings with calm colors on rainy days. The delivery unit provides the generated paintings to the user's device. The delivery unit can provide the generated paintings to the user's device using, for example, app notifications or email. For example, the delivery unit can display the painting on the user's smartphone using app notifications. The delivery unit can also send the painting to the user's email address using email. The recording unit records the user's emotional changes after viewing the painting. The recording unit can record the user's emotional changes using, for example, a diary format or by inputting an emotional score. For example, the recording unit can input comments such as "I feel better" or "No change" after the user views the painting. The recording unit can also quantify and record the user's emotional changes using an emotional score. The intervention unit displays a message encouraging consultation with a professional if no improvement in mood is observed for an extended period. The intervention unit can provide early intervention by, for example, displaying a message encouraging consultation with a professional.For example, the intervention unit displays a message such as "Please consult a specialist" on the user's device. This allows the mental state stabilization system according to the embodiment to stabilize the user's mental state and promote mood improvement.

[0030] The data collection unit collects information on weather and the user's mental state from the previous day. For example, the data collection unit can collect weather information from the internet. Specifically, the data collection unit uses the API of a weather data provision service to obtain current weather and forecasts. This allows the data collection unit to understand weather information in the user's place of residence or activity area in real time. The data collection unit can also collect data on the user's mental state from the previous day. For example, the data collection unit provides users with a daily questionnaire to input their mood, stress level, sleep quality, etc. from the previous day. The questionnaire is designed to be easily completed through a smartphone app or web interface, minimizing the burden on the user. Furthermore, the data collection unit uses encryption technology to securely store user input data and protect privacy. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently collect weather information and user mental state data and provide it to the analysis unit.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes collected weather information and data on the previous day's mental state. The analysis unit can analyze the collected data using, for example, statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. Specifically, it uses correlation analysis to analyze the relationship between weather information and mental state, and regression analysis to build predictive models. For example, it identifies patterns such as whether users tend to feel better on sunny days or whether stress increases on rainy days. Furthermore, the analysis unit uses machine learning algorithms to learn individual user tendencies and make more accurate predictions. For example, it builds a model that predicts under what weather conditions a particular user's mood will fluctuate, based on past data. This allows the analysis unit to identify factors influencing users' mental states and provide countermeasures tailored to individual needs. Additionally, the analysis unit improves the reliability of the analysis results by detecting outliers and missing values ​​in the data and performing appropriate imputation. This enables the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze collected data and provide a foundation for understanding users' mental states.

[0032] The generation unit generates paintings that the user will like based on the analysis results. The generation unit can generate paintings based on the analysis results, for example, using a generation AI. Specifically, the generation unit uses a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to generate paintings that match the user's preferences. For example, if the analysis results show that the user prefers paintings with bright colors, the generation unit will generate paintings with bright colors. The generation unit can also use a multimodal generation AI to generate paintings that match the user's preferences. For example, the generation unit will generate paintings with bright colors on sunny days and paintings with calm colors on rainy days. Furthermore, the generation unit can learn the user's past preference data and generate more personalized paintings. For example, it can generate new paintings based on the style and theme of paintings the user has liked in the past. This allows the generation unit to provide the optimal painting to stabilize the user's mental state. In addition, the generation unit can always provide high-quality paintings by evaluating the quality of the generated paintings and making corrections or regenerations as needed. This allows the generation unit to provide an effective means of stabilizing the user's mental state and promoting improved mood.

[0033] The service provider delivers the generated paintings to the user's device. The service provider can deliver the generated paintings to the user's device using methods such as app notifications or email. Specifically, the service provider can display the painting on the user's smartphone using app notifications. When the user opens the app, the generated painting will be displayed, and the user can view it. The service provider can also send the painting to the user's email address using email. This allows the user to view the painting on various devices, such as smartphones and computers. Furthermore, the service provider can provide a function to save the painting to the user's device, allowing the user to view it again later. For example, the service provider can save the painting to the user's smartphone gallery, making it accessible at any time. This allows the service provider to deliver the generated paintings to the user quickly and effectively, supporting the user's mental well-being. Additionally, the service provider can collect user feedback to improve its delivery methods. For example, it can collect feedback in the form of surveys on how users felt about the paintings and which delivery method was most effective, and use this information to improve future delivery methods. This allows the service provider to implement the optimal delivery method tailored to user needs and maximize the overall effectiveness of the system.

[0034] The recording unit records the changes in a user's emotions after viewing a painting. The recording unit can record these changes using methods such as a diary format or emotion score input. Specifically, the recording unit provides an interface for users to input their feelings after viewing a painting, such as "I feel better" or "No change." Users can easily input their feelings through a smartphone app or web interface. The recording unit can also quantify and record the user's emotional changes using emotion scores. For example, it can record the user's mood after viewing a painting on a scale of 1 to 10. Furthermore, the recording unit can store the user's emotional data chronologically and analyze long-term changes. This allows the recording unit to gain a detailed understanding of changes in the user's mental state and provide feedback to the analysis and generation units. Additionally, the recording unit implements security measures to protect user privacy and ensures the safe storage and management of data. This allows the recording unit to accurately record changes in the user's emotions and provide crucial data for evaluating the overall system's effectiveness.

[0035] The intervention unit displays a message encouraging users to consult a professional if their mood does not improve for an extended period. For example, by displaying a message prompting the user to consult a professional, the intervention unit can provide early intervention. Specifically, the intervention unit analyzes the user's emotional data and issues an alert if there is no improvement in mood within a certain period. For example, if a user records a low emotional score for more than a week, the intervention unit displays a message on the user's device such as "Please consult a professional." The intervention unit can also provide links and contact information to facilitate professional consultation. For example, it can include professional contact information and online consultation links in the message, allowing users to seek help immediately. Furthermore, the intervention unit can build a system to provide necessary information to professionals while protecting user privacy. This allows the intervention unit to ensure users receive professional support at the appropriate time and provide support to prevent a deterioration of their mental state. Additionally, the intervention unit can continuously improve the timing and methods of intervention based on user feedback. This allows the intervention unit to implement effective interventions to stabilize the user's mental state and improve the overall reliability and effectiveness of the system.

[0036] The data collection unit can collect weather information from the internet. For example, the data collection unit can collect weather information from the internet using a specific API. For example, the data collection unit can obtain current weather information using an API of a weather information service. The data collection unit can also collect weather information using web scraping technology. For example, the data collection unit can automatically obtain weather information from a weather information website.

For example, the data collection unit can have AI perform the collection of weather information.

[0037] The data collection unit can collect data on the user's mental state from the previous day. For example, the data collection unit can collect data on the user's mental state from the previous day in the form of a questionnaire. For example, the data collection unit can ask the user a question such as, "How did you feel yesterday?" and collect data by having the user choose an answer from a set of options. The data collection unit can also collect data on the user's mental state from the previous day in the form of a scale. For example, the data collection unit can ask the user a question such as, "Please rate how you felt yesterday on a scale from 1 to 10," and collect data by having the user input a numerical value. This makes it possible to generate paintings based on the user's mental state. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can have AI analyze the user's input data.

[0038] The analysis unit can analyze collected weather information and data on the previous day's mental state. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the collected weather information and the previous day's mental state data using correlation analysis. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the relationship between weather information and mental state using a correlation coefficient. The analysis unit can also analyze the collected data using regression analysis. For example, the analysis unit can construct a predictive model of weather information and mental state to predict future mental state. This makes it possible to generate paintings based on the user's mental state. 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 have AI analyze the collected data.

[0039] The generation unit can generate paintings that the user will like based on the analysis results. For example, the generation unit can use a generation AI to generate paintings that the user will like based on the analysis results. For example, the generation unit can use a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to generate paintings that suit the user's preferences. The generation unit can also use a multimodal generation AI to generate paintings that suit the user's preferences. For example, the generation unit can generate paintings with bright colors on sunny days and paintings with calm colors on rainy days. This promotes mood improvement by generating paintings that suit the user's preferences. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the generation unit can input the analysis results into AI and have AI perform the painting generation.

[0040] The service provider can provide the generated painting to the user's device. For example, the service provider can provide the generated painting to the user's device using an app notification. For example, the service provider can send an app notification to the user's smartphone and display the painting. The service provider can also provide the generated painting to the user's device using email. For example, the service provider can send the painting to the user's email address, allowing the user to view the painting by opening the email. This makes it easy for the user to receive the painting. Some or all of the above processes in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the service provider can have AI select the method of providing the painting.

[0041] The recording unit can record changes in a user's emotions after viewing a painting. For example, the recording unit can record changes in a user's emotions after viewing a painting in a diary format. For example, the recording unit can ask the user a question such as, "How did you feel after viewing the painting?" and record changes in emotions by allowing the user to freely write down their impressions. Alternatively, the recording unit can record changes in emotions after viewing a painting using the input of an emotion score. For example, the recording unit can ask the user a question such as, "Please rate how you felt after viewing the painting on a scale from 1 to 10," and record changes in emotions by allowing the user to input a numerical value. This allows for personalized support by recording changes in the user's emotions. Some or all of the above processing in the recording unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the recording unit can have AI analyze the user's changes in emotions.

[0042] The intervention unit can display a message encouraging the user to consult a professional if there is a prolonged period without improvement in mood. For example, the intervention unit can display a message such as "Please consult a professional" on the user's device. The intervention unit can also monitor the user's emotional changes and automatically display a message if there is a prolonged period without improvement in mood. For example, the intervention unit can display a message encouraging the user to consult a professional if the user's emotional score remains low for a certain period. This is expected to contribute to the prevention of depression and the improvement of dementia through early intervention. Some or all of the above processing in the intervention unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the intervention unit can have AI analyze the user's emotional data and display a message at the appropriate time.

[0043] The data collection unit can analyze the user's past mental state data and select the optimal data collection method. For example, the data collection unit can analyze the user's past mental state data and select a data collection method appropriate for that period. For example, the data collection unit can analyze data from periods when the user experienced stress in the past and select a data collection method appropriate for that period. The data collection unit can also analyze data from periods when the user was relaxed in the past and select a data collection method appropriate for that period. For example, the data collection unit can determine the optimal data collection timing based on the user's past mental state data. By selecting the optimal data collection method based on the user's past mental state, it becomes possible to generate more appropriate images. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can have AI analyze the user's past mental state data and select the optimal data collection method.

[0044] The data collection unit can filter weather information based on the user's current activity status and lifestyle. For example, if the user is out, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting weather information for the user's destination. For example, if the user is at home, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting weather information for the area around the user's home. The data collection unit can also collect weather information at the necessary times in accordance with the user's lifestyle.

For example, if the user likes cats, the unit can generate paintings with cats as the motif. Also, if the user likes ocean scenery, the unit can generate paintings depicting ocean scenery. This can lead to a higher level of satisfaction by providing paintings that match the user's hobbies and interests.

[0132] The service provider can deliver artwork not only to the user's device but also to smart home devices. For example, the service provider can display artwork on smart displays and smart TVs. This allows users to enjoy artwork in various locations around their home and experience a relaxing effect. For instance, artwork can be displayed on a smart TV in the living room for the whole family to enjoy. Alternatively, artwork can be displayed on a smart display in the bedroom for relaxation before going to sleep. This allows users to experience a relaxing effect throughout their entire living space.

[0133] The recording unit can utilize voice input to record changes in the user's emotions. For example, the recording unit can record changes in emotions when the user voices their impressions after viewing a painting. This allows users to record changes in their emotions without any effort. For instance, if the user voice-inputs, "Looking at this painting made me feel relaxed," the recording unit can record that change in emotion. Similarly, if the user voice-inputs, "I feel better," the recording unit can record that change in emotion. This allows for a more accurate recording of the user's emotional changes.

[0134] The intervention unit can suggest relaxation techniques according to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the intervention unit can suggest relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. This allows the user to more effectively improve their mood by practicing relaxation techniques in conjunction with art appreciation. For example, the intervention unit can display a message to the user such as, "Take a deep breath and relax." It can also display a message such as, "Meditate to calm your mind." By suggesting relaxation techniques that are appropriate to the user's emotions, it can promote mood improvement.

[0135] The data collection unit can collect user meal information. For example, it can collect what the user ate and at what time of day they ate. This makes it possible to generate paintings based on the user's meal patterns. For instance, it can generate a relaxing painting after the user has breakfast and a mood-enhancing painting after dinner. This allows for support tailored to the user's meal patterns.

[0136] The analysis unit can analyze the user's sleep data. For example, it can analyze how long the user slept and the quality of their sleep. This makes it possible to generate paintings based on the user's sleep patterns. For instance, if the user gets enough sleep, it can generate an energizing painting, and if they are sleep-deprived, it can generate a relaxing painting. This allows for support tailored to the user's sleep patterns.

[0137] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and select a painting theme based on those emotions. For example, if the user is sad, the generation unit can generate a painting with a comforting theme. For example, if the user is happy, the generation unit can generate a painting with a celebratory theme. Furthermore, if the user is feeling anxious, the generation unit can generate a painting with a reassuring theme. In this way, by providing paintings with themes that match the user's emotions, it is possible to promote mood improvement.

[0138] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0139] Step 1: The data collection unit collects information on weather and the user's mental state from the previous day. The data collection unit can, for example, collect weather information from the internet. It can also collect data on the user's mental state from the previous day. For example, the data collection unit can obtain weather information using a specific API and collect data on the user's mental state from the previous day in the form of a questionnaire. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the collected weather information and the previous day's mental state data. The analysis unit can analyze the collected data using, for example, statistical analysis or machine learning algorithms. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the relationship between weather information and mental state using correlation analysis and construct a predictive model using regression analysis. Step 3: The generation unit generates a painting that the user will like based on the analysis results. The generation unit can generate a painting based on the analysis results, for example, using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can generate a painting that suits the user's preferences using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). The generation unit can also generate a painting that suits the user's preferences using a multimodal generation AI. For example, the generation unit can generate a painting with bright colors on a sunny day and a painting with calm colors on a rainy day. Step 4: The provider delivers the generated painting to the user's device. The provider can deliver the generated painting to the user's device, for example, by using app notifications or email. For example, the provider can display the painting on the user's smartphone using app notifications. Alternatively, the provider can send the painting to the user's email address using email. Step 5: The recording unit records the user's emotional changes after viewing the painting. The recording unit can record the user's emotional changes using methods such as a diary format or emotional score input. For example, the recording unit can input the user's feelings after viewing the painting, such as "I feel better" or "No change." The recording unit can also quantify and record the user's emotional changes using an emotional score. Step 6: The intervention unit displays a message encouraging the user to consult a professional if mood improvement persists. The intervention unit can intervene early, for example, by displaying a message encouraging the user to consult a professional. For example, the intervention unit may display a message such as "Consult a professional" on the user's device.

[0140] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0141] Data generation model 58 is a form of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AI include text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. 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 with 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 from 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 (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), 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 of the above parts 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.Furthermore, processing performed by AI, including generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI, including generative AI.

[0184] 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.

[0185] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0186] 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.

[0187] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0188] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0189] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, provision unit, recording unit, and intervention unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit acquires weather information from the internet using the robot 414's communication I / F 44 and collects data on the user's mental state from the previous day. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected data. The generation unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates a painting based on the analysis results. The provision unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides the generated painting to the user's device. The recording unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and records changes in the user's emotions. The intervention unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and displays a message prompting the user to consult a professional if there is a prolonged period without improvement in mood. 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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."

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.

[0203] 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.

[0204] 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.

[0205] 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.

[0206] 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.

[0207] 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.

[0208] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
