FIG. 2 is a flow diagram showing an example of the operation of the education system of FIG. 1. FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a system in which knowledge of conventional experts is compiled into a database. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a conventional program production system.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an educational system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flow diagram showing an example of the operation of the educational system of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 1, the educational system includes an input processing section 3, an output section 19, and an educational device 1.

The input processing unit 3 performs input processing by the user. The output unit 19 is for outputting to the user. The input processing section 3 and the output section 19 may be implemented in the same device, such as a touch panel with a camera, and the input processing section 3 may be implemented using a keyboard, mouse, camera, etc., and the output section 19 may be implemented separately using a speaker, display, etc. It may be realized as a device.

The educational device 1 can be realized, for example, by a computer that operates under the control of a program. The educational device 1 distributes the search results of the database unit 5 to the user. The educational device 1 includes an analysis section 9, a keyword processing section 11, a thesaurus processing section 13, an expression adjustment section 15, a distribution control section 17, a database section 5, and an answer processing section 7.

The database unit 5 can be realized, for example, by a processor that operates under the control of a program. The database unit 5 is a system in which the knowledge (know-how, etc.) possessed by experts is formalized into a database, and can be searched using index data or the like.

When a user inputs index data using the input processing unit 3, the database unit 5 performs a search process using the index data and generates one or more index search result data. The database unit 5 may, for example, perform search processing on a database in an external server.

Additionally, the user inputs situation data using the input processing unit 3. The situation data includes at least one of text data, audio data, and image data (still images, moving images, etc.). For example, when a user does not know how to use a tool, the user takes a picture of the tool with a camera and inputs image data. It is also possible to input specific situations in which the tool will be used as text data, voice data, or image data.

The index data is, so to speak, words suitable for searching the database unit 5. On the other hand, situation data indicates the user's current situation. Therefore, index data and status data are different things. Note that the processing related to index data may be omitted. In the case where the index data is omitted, the following process can be implemented in the same way as long as it is assumed that there is no index search result data.

The analysis unit 9 can be realized by, for example, a processor that operates under the control of a program. The analysis section 9 is for analyzing various data. For example, situation data can be analyzed to extract keywords. For example, character strings are extracted from audio data and used as character data. To identify objects photographed in image data and make it possible to extract keywords. Additionally, the user is identified by identifying the person photographed in the situation data.

The keyword processing unit 11 can be realized, for example, by a processor that operates under the control of a program. The keyword processing unit 11 performs a process of extracting keywords after the analysis unit 9 reaches a state where the keywords can be extracted from the situation data. The keyword includes expression keyword data and search keyword data. The expression keyword data and the search keyword data may be the same or different, or may be partially the same and partially different.

The database unit 5 performs a search process using the search keyword data and generates a plurality of situation search result data.

The answer processing unit 7 can be realized, for example, by a processor that operates under the control of a program. The answer processing unit 7 analyzes the index search result data and a plurality of situation search result data, and assigns characteristic data to each data. For example, in order to reveal and organize tacit knowledge, multiple judgment units (such as multiple different artificial intelligence (AI) processes) make event judgments with each judgment unit unique, and index search result data is and analyze the characteristics of each of the multiple situation search result data. For example, when a problem occurs, when searching for knowledge about its causes and potential solutions, what is generally questionable? Each cause and solution has its own characteristics, such as some being small and minor. Feature data is given to knowledge obtained through a search to indicate its features. The feature data is, for example, data indicating the priority order to be conveyed to the user determined by comparing the judgments of the AI. The answer processing unit 7 may determine the priority order using, for example, majority vote. The answer data generated by the answer processing unit 7 is a combination of each of the index search result data and a plurality of situation search result data, and feature data.

The analysis unit 9 can be realized by, for example, a processor that operates under the control of a program. The analysis unit 9 generates analysis data using information obtained by analyzing the situation data and response data. This can be realized, for example, by creating new material data in the example of FIG. 4 by adding response data to situation data. The analysis data is, for example, character data, image data, reading voice data, etc. used in the distribution process. The analysis data is, for example, audio data for reading out the content of a question or the like revealed by the situation data. Further, the data is data for expressing an answer to a question, such as audio data and image data obtained by the answer processing unit 7 to read out an answer indicating how to use the tool. Furthermore, the characteristic data is analyzed to preferentially select answers that match the user's situation obtained from the situation data. For example, if the user is a beginner, give priority to general solutions to problems. On the other hand, for example, if a user is confused about a problem and asks a question even though he/she is supposed to be familiar with the situation, this is a problem that is less likely to occur but can lead to more serious errors than problems that are more likely to occur in general. Prioritize.

The analysis unit 9 may identify the user based on situation data, login information, etc. In this case, the analysis unit 9 includes a user information specifying unit (not shown) that stores history, search history, etc. for each user. For example, the analysis section 9 sends the user information held by the user information identification section to the database section 5 and/or the answer processing section 7, and the answer processing section 7 generates one or more answers according to the user. May also generate data. Alternatively, a plurality of answer data may be presented to the user for selection. Furthermore, the analysis section 9 may generate analysis data according to the user using user information held by the user information identification section. Further, the analysis section 9 may send the user information held by the user information specifying section to the expression adjustment section 15, and the expression adjustment section 15 may generate expression adjustment data according to the user. In conventional systems, the user's knowledge is placed low and the knowledge of experts accumulated in the database section 5 is placed high, so that information is distributed in one direction, in which the advanced knowledge of experts is transmitted to unskilled users. They tended to limit themselves to communication. On the other hand, the educational device 1 generates answer data that includes the knowledge of experts according to the user, expresses the answer data as analysis data as a character string depending on the user, or expresses it according to the user. The adjustment data can be used to adjust expressions to suit the user, allowing for more detailed expressions tailored to the user. By accumulating information in each part of the educational device 1, it is possible to increase the detail of the answer according to the user of the educational device 1. Therefore, the educational device 1 does not stop at simply transmitting knowledge to the user, but also changes and grows as the user grows, empathizes with the user, accurately gives the user an opportunity to think for himself, and promotes the user's growth. be able to.

The thesaurus processing unit 13 can be realized, for example, by a processor that operates under the control of a program. The thesaurus processing unit 13 uses a thesaurus mainly based on calmness to evaluate the expression keyword data according to the word. This is because when answering, it is necessary to use expressions that calm the user and calm them down, rather than expressions that empathize with the user's emotions. For example, the thesaurus processing unit 13 replaces keywords in which expressions with the same meaning but different words are used to correspond to different emotions with the same keyword. As a result, it is possible to communicate with the user in a calm manner that allows the user to respond to various situations even if the user is in various situations.

The expression adjustment unit 15 can be realized, for example, by a processor that operates under the control of a program. The expression adjustment unit 15 analyzes the processed expression keyword data processed by the thesaurus processing unit 13 and generates expression adjustment data for adjusting the expression to be conveyed to the user. For example, in the situation data, if a question is asked about how to use a tool with an expression that includes an angry emotion, the thesaurus processing unit 13 removes the angry emotion from the expression of the question and asks how to use the tool with a calm mind. After processing, express keyword data is generated as described above. The expression adjustment unit 15 generates expression adjustment data that guides the user to a calm state (calmness) by adjusting the expression to calmly convey how to use the tool using the processed expression keyword data.

The distribution control unit 17 can be realized by, for example, a processor that operates under the control of a program. The distribution control unit 17 outputs the analysis data at the output unit 19. The output includes at least a portion of text, audio, and images. Voice etc. may be expressed by characters. The distribution control unit 17 uses the expression adjustment data to adjust the expression when outputting the analysis data.

An example of the operation of the educational system in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

The data input by the input processing section 3 is given to the analysis section 9 and the database section 5. The analysis unit 9 determines whether only index data is given from the input processing unit 3 (step ST1).

If only the index data is given from the input processing section 3 and no situation data is given (if NO in step ST1), no processing regarding the situation data is performed, and the database section 5 performs search processing using the index data. (step ST6), the answer processing section 7 processes the search results to generate answer data (step ST7), the analysis section 9 analyzes the answer data and generates analysis data (step ST8), and the distribution control section 17 outputs analysis data at the output unit 19 (step ST9).

If the situation data is given from the input processing unit 3 (if YES in step ST1), processing related to the situation data is performed. The analysis unit 9 analyzes the situation data and makes it possible to extract keywords (step ST2). The keyword processing unit 11 performs a process of extracting keyword data indicating a keyword (step ST3). The thesaurus processing unit 13 performs a keyword replacement process using a thesaurus on the expressed keyword data included in the keyword data to generate processed expressed keyword data (step ST4). The expression adjustment unit 15 analyzes the processed expression keyword data processed by the thesaurus processing unit 13 and generates expression adjustment data for adjusting the expression to be conveyed to the user (step ST5).

In step ST6, if only the situation data is given from the input processing section 3 and no index data is given, the database section 5 performs a search process using the search keyword data included in the keyword data. When the situation data and index data are given from the input processing section 3, the database section 5 performs a search process using the index data and search keyword data.

The answer processing unit 7 processes the search results to generate answer data (step ST7), the analysis unit 9 analyzes the answer data and generates analysis data (step ST8), and the distribution control unit 17 outputs the data in the output unit 19. The analysis data is output (step ST9).
