Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problem of safely and efficiently managing and conducting inheritance procedures for the electronic assets of a deceased person. Conventionally, there have been problems such that information on the electronic assets held by the deceased during their lifetime was not properly inherited, it was difficult for the heirs to grasp the existence thereof, and the inheritance procedures became complicated. For this reason, the heirs have been unable to smoothly proceed with the procedures necessary for identifying and inheriting the electronic assets and have been strongly burdened.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The present invention solves the above problems by the following means. First, access to the system managing the deceased's electronic asset information is appropriately restricted by means of access control by authorized users. Through this access control, only authenticated users can access the information on the deceased's electronic assets. Next, the means for managing the deceased's electronic asset information organizes the types of assets and their identifying information, enabling quick identification. Finally, the means for providing identifying information on electronic assets provides users with the necessary information in a format that does not include detailed authentication information of the assets, enabling the smooth progress of inheritance procedures. This reduces the burden on bereaved families while realizing highly reliable electronic asset management and inheritance support.

[0006] An "authorized user" is a person who has been given prior permission to access the deceased's electronic asset information.

[0007] "Access control" refers to the procedure for allowing or denying specific users access to electronic asset information.

[0008] "Electronic asset information of the deceased" refers to information about assets that the deceased possessed during their lifetime and which are managed in digital format.

[0009] "Means of management" refers to methods or systems for organizing, retaining, and efficiently manipulating specific information as needed.

[0010] "Identification information" refers to information necessary to identify an asset, such as the type and location of the electronic asset.

[0011] "Means of providing information to users" refers to methods and systems that enable specific users to obtain managed information. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0020] [First Embodiment]

[0021] Figure 1 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0022] As shown in Figure 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.

[0023] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 is an example of a "computer" related to the technology of this disclosure. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

[0028] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0029] 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.

[0030] The 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.

[0031] In the smart device 14, the processor 46 performs the reception output processing. The storage 50 stores the reception output program 60. The reception output program 60 is used in conjunction with a specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10.

The reception output processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the reception output program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[0032] Next, the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 will be described. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the smart device 14 as the "terminal".

[0033] As an embodiment of the present invention, a system is provided for authorized users to appropriately manage and inherit the electronic asset information of a deceased person. The system is implemented using an AI agent running on a server. This AI agent can record the digital asset information of the deceased person and access it as needed.

[0034] The server first manages the asset information registered by the deceased during their lifetime. Specifically, it records the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and a summary of that asset. Each asset includes identifying information about its location and form, ensuring that the system can accurately grasp this information.

[0035] The terminal is used to authenticate authorized users. Users attempt to access the system by proving their access rights using a dedicated authentication method. The server checks the user's permission status based on the authentication information and provides only the necessary information.

[0036] Users are provided with information on which financial institutions hold the deceased's assets and what types of assets they are. Since passwords and detailed authentication information are not included in the information provided, a high level of security is maintained.

[0037] As a concrete example, a user authenticates and accesses a server, and the server returns information to the user such as, "A deposit account exists at Bank A, and it is for savings purposes." Based on this information, the user can smoothly proceed with inheritance procedures at that financial institution.

[0038] This system simplifies digital asset management while ensuring both the reliability and efficiency required for inheritance procedures. This reduces the burden on surviving family members and guarantees that the deceased's estate is properly managed and inherited.

[0039] The following describes the processing flow.

[0040] Step 1:

[0041] The server initializes the AI ​​agent. During this process, it sets the user ID and a list of authorized family members. This determines who can access the asset information.

[0042] Step 2:

[0043] The user inputs the deceased person's digital asset information into the AI ​​agent. Asset entries include the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and a related summary. The server stores this information for future inquiries.

[0044] Step 3:

[0045] The device initiates the authentication process. Authorized users enter their ID, and the server uses this information to verify access rights. Only if authentication is successful will the process proceed to the next step.

[0046] Step 4:

[0047] The server provides digital asset information of the deceased to authenticated users. This information includes the name of the financial institution and the type of asset, but does not include detailed authentication information. Information is provided securely and efficiently.

[0048] Step 5:

[0049] The user initiates inheritance procedures using asset information received from the server. Based on the provided information, the user proceeds with the appropriate procedures at the appropriate institutions and prepares to inherit the deceased's electronic assets. This process ensures a smooth inheritance process.

[0050] (Example 1)

[0051] Next, we will describe Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the smart device 14 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0052] In today's information society, handling the digital assets of deceased individuals is becoming increasingly complex. Because a vast amount of information is stored electronically, managing and inheriting it properly presents a challenge. In particular, there is a need for efficient and secure systems that protect privacy while providing only the necessary information.

[0053] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0054] In this invention, the server includes means for obtaining authentication information from authorized users, means for storing the deceased's electronic asset information in a database, means for verifying the user's authentication information and confirming access rights, means for filtering and providing the electronic asset information to the user, and means for concealing detailed authentication information to enhance security. This makes it possible to properly manage the deceased's electronic asset information while protecting privacy and to safely and efficiently provide the information that users need.

[0055] "Authorized users" refers to individuals or organizations that have been formally granted access rights to the system.

[0056] "Means of obtaining authentication information" refers to the function of collecting data necessary to verify the legitimacy of the user (e.g., user ID, password, biometric information, etc.).

[0057] "Electronic asset information" refers to valuable digital information and records owned by the deceased (e.g., bank account information, email accounts, cryptocurrency wallets, etc.).

[0058] "Means of storing information in a database" refers to methods and technologies for storing information in a structured format and maintaining it in a way that allows for later searching and updating.

[0059] "Means of verifying authentication information and confirming access rights" refers to the process of determining whether a user is permitted to access the system based on the received authentication information.

[0060] "Means of filtering information" refers to processes and methods that extract necessary elements from a dataset and exclude unnecessary information.

[0061] "Methods for concealing detailed authentication information" refers to mechanisms and technologies for hiding data that should not be made public for security reasons from the information provided to users.

[0062] The server plays a central role in this system. The database located on the server stores electronic asset information registered by the deceased during their lifetime. This database is structured based on the relevant financial institutions, asset types, and detailed asset summaries. A robust database management system (DBMS) and security protocols are used for data processing.

[0063] The terminal provides an interface for users to access the system. Authorized users use the terminal to send authentication information to the server. Specifically, this involves entering a user ID, password, or biometric information through a dedicated application installed on a smartphone or computer. Biometric authentication methods such as fingerprint and facial recognition are also supported.

[0064] Users register their authentication information via their device, and after the server verifies that information, they gain access rights. If authenticated correctly, users can obtain basic information about the deceased's digital assets. For example, information such as "a deposit account exists at financial institution A, and it is for savings" is provided. Based on this information, users can proceed with inheritance procedures that prioritize speed and efficiency.

[0065] This system incorporates a filtering function that ensures only the specific information the user needs is provided. This is to avoid over-distribution of information and to ensure privacy and efficiency.

[0066] Example of a prompt:

[0067] "We want to develop a system that manages digital asset information registered by deceased individuals during their lifetime and provides that information to authorized users. What kind of AI technology would be most effective to utilize?"

[0068] In this form, the present invention provides a practical system for safely and efficiently managing and inheriting the digital assets of a deceased person.

[0069] The flow of the specific processing in Example 1 will be explained using Figure 11.

[0070] Step 1:

[0071] The terminal receives authentication information from the user. This can include a user ID, password, or biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint authentication). This authentication information is obtained as initial data and sent to the server.

[0072] Step 2:

[0073] The server receives authentication information sent from the terminal and compares it with the user's access permission data stored in the database. This process includes security measures such as comparing hashed passwords. If the comparison is successful, the server initiates a session and returns access permission to the terminal. The output is an authentication success message and a session ID.

[0074] Step 3:

[0075] After successful authentication, the user enters search criteria for the deceased's asset information into the terminal. For example, they can specify the name of a particular financial institution or the type of asset. These search criteria are sent to the server as input data for the next data retrieval.

[0076] Step 4:

[0077] The server searches the database based on the received search criteria. It filters the information and extracts asset information of the deceased that matches the specific criteria (e.g., financial institution name and asset type). This process is carried out using database queries and algorithms. The output is the filtered asset information.

[0078] Step 5:

[0079] The terminal displays asset information received from the server on the user interface. The user views this information and verifies its contents. Security-sensitive details (e.g., accurate account numbers) are hidden during this process. The user can then proceed with inheritance procedures based on the necessary information.

[0080] (Application Example 1)

[0081] Next, we will explain Application Example 1. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the smart device 14 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0082] To safely and efficiently manage the digital assets of the deceased and to facilitate smooth inheritance procedures for surviving family members, it is necessary to provide a secure yet easily accessible system. In particular, it is essential that the system is intuitive to use even for users without technical skills and that proper authentication is implemented to prevent misuse.

[0083] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0084] In this invention, the server includes means for controlling access by authorized users, means for managing the deceased's electronic asset information, means for providing users with specific information about the electronic assets, means for providing asset information to authenticated users using a voice generation module, and means for authenticating users using biometric authentication. This enables intuitive and secure provision of information about the deceased's digital assets, allowing bereaved families to smoothly carry out inheritance procedures.

[0085] "Means of controlling access by authorized users" refers to a function that allows access to the system only when a specific user has been authenticated.

[0086] "Means for managing the deceased's electronic asset information" refers to the function of a system that organizes and stores information about the digital data and online accounts that the deceased possessed.

[0087] "Means of providing users with specific information about electronic assets" refers to a function that presents an overview of the digital assets held by the system to authenticated users.

[0088] "Means of providing asset information to authenticated users using a voice generation module" refers to a system function that uses speech synthesis technology to explain digital asset information in voice to users who have been authenticated through biometric authentication.

[0089] "Means of authenticating users using biometric authentication" refers to a function that uses biometric information such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or voiceprint authentication to identify users and verify their access rights to the system.

[0090] To implement this invention, it is necessary to build a system that securely manages the digital assets of a deceased person and allows authorized users to access that information. The system mainly consists of three components: a server, a terminal, and a user.

[0091] The server plays the role of securely storing and managing the deceased's electronic asset information. The server provides a secure environment for accessing asset information using data encryption technology. To protect this data, the server maintains secure communication using the SSL / TLS protocol.

[0092] The device performs authentication to ensure that only authorized users can access the system. The device uses biometric authentication technology (e.g., facial recognition or voiceprint recognition) to authenticate the user. If authentication is successful, the device sends a secure request to the server and retrieves the necessary digital asset information from the server.

[0093] Users can access the deceased's digital assets through their device only if they have given permission. This allows users to easily check asset information and streamline inheritance procedures. In particular, it includes a function that uses a voice generation module to provide users with voice guidance on the asset information they need.

[0094] As a concrete example, when a user speaks to the device and says, "Show me the previous owner's asset information," the device performs biometric authentication and the server returns information via voice, such as, "There is a deposit account at Bank X, and the current balance is Y yen." An example of a prompt message supporting this example would be, "You are the digital inheritance assistant. Once you are authenticated, we will securely retrieve the deceased's asset information from the server and display the necessary summary."

[0095] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 1 will be explained using Figure 12.

[0096] Step 1:

[0097] The terminal activates a biometric authentication sensor when a user attempts to access digital asset information. The sensor captures a facial image or voice as user input. Based on this input data, the terminal matches it against a pre-registered biometric database to obtain an authentication result. If authentication is successful, it generates a signal to proceed to the next step.

[0098] Step 2:

[0099] Upon successful authentication, the device sends an API request to the server via a secure communication channel. This request includes the user ID and the type of asset information requested. Based on the received request, the server queries the database for the deceased person's relevant asset information and extracts the data. The extracted data is encrypted and sent back to the device.

[0100] Step 3:

[0101] The terminal decrypts the received encrypted data and converts it into a format that the user can understand. This converted information is then converted into audio data by a speech synthesis module. A generative AI model is used for speech generation, and prompts are used to ensure smooth speech output. This audio data is then presented to the user.

[0102] Step 4:

[0103] The user receives voice information provided by the device. If the user requests additional information, they enter it again, and the process begins. If the user has finished confirming the information, the system ends the user's session, and the device enters a standby state.

[0104] Step 5:

[0105] The server securely logs user access history to maintain system security. Access history includes user ID, type of asset information accessed, and access timestamp. This provides records for future audits and troubleshooting.

[0106] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotions may be incorporated. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may use the emotion identification model 59 to estimate the user's emotions and perform identification processing using the user's emotions.

[0107] This invention provides a system that achieves a better user experience in the management and provision of electronic asset information by taking user emotions into consideration. This system comprises a server, a terminal, and an emotion engine.

[0108] The server manages the deceased's electronic asset information and implements appropriate access controls for authorized users. Asset information includes the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and related basic information. The server organizes this information and prepares it for transmission to terminals as needed.

[0109] The terminal serves as the interface for users to access the system. Through this interface, the emotion engine collects data such as the user's facial expressions and voice, and recognizes the user's emotional state. This emotional information is sent to the server and referenced when providing information.

[0110] The emotion engine analyzes emotions in real time and instructs the server on how to present information to the user based on the results. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the timing of information presentation may be adjusted, or the information may be organized in a way that makes it easier to understand.

[0111] As a concrete example, when a user attempts to access a deceased person's asset information, the emotion engine reads the user's anxieties and provides feedback to the server, presenting the information in a reassuring communication style. This allows the user to proceed with inheritance procedures smoothly, reducing their emotional burden.

[0112] This system, by utilizing an emotion engine, goes beyond mere information provision to provide meticulous support that takes into account the user's emotions and circumstances. Therefore, it can provide an environment where users can manage and pass on the deceased's electronic assets with greater peace of mind and in an appropriate manner.

[0113] The following describes the processing flow.

[0114] Step 1:

[0115] The terminal provides an interface for the user to enter their account information. The user attempts to access the system by entering their authentication information.

[0116] Step 2:

[0117] Based on the authentication information received by the server, the user's authorization status is checked. If the user is determined to be an authorized user, the process proceeds to the next step.

[0118] Step 3:

[0119] The device activates an emotion engine to collect the user's emotional state. Sensors capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and this data is then analyzed.

[0120] Step 4:

[0121] The emotion engine analyzes the collected data to identify the user's current emotional state, which includes stress levels and anxiety levels.

[0122] Step 5:

[0123] The server receives the analysis results from the emotion engine and prepares to provide information in a format optimized for the user's emotional state. It adjusts the way information is presented and the content of that information according to the user's emotions.

[0124] Step 6:

[0125] The server selects the electronic asset information of the deceased person to provide to the user and transmits that information to the terminal. The information includes basic details such as what assets are held at which financial institutions.

[0126] Step 7:

[0127] The device presents information to the user in an emotionally sensitive manner. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, explanations are provided in simple language to reassure them.

[0128] Step 8:

[0129] The system proceeds with the necessary inheritance procedures based on the information provided by the user. The information provided by the system supports the user in properly inheriting the deceased's assets.

[0130] (Example 2)

[0131] Next, we will describe Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the smart device 14 as the "terminal".

[0132] In modern times, access control and authentication for users are increasingly important when handling the electronic assets of deceased individuals. However, if the asset information provided is uniform, it can lead to stress and confusion due to the disregard for users' feelings and psychological state. In addition, conventional systems have the challenge of not being able to provide flexible information that responds to users' emotions, making it difficult to provide a better user experience.

[0133] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0134] In this invention, the server includes means for controlling access by authorized users, means for managing the electronic asset information of a deceased person, means for providing users with specific information about the electronic assets, means for detecting the emotional state of the user, and means for adjusting the information provision method based on the detected emotional state. This enables flexible and reassuring information provision that takes the user's emotions into consideration.

[0135] An "authorized user" is a person or organization that has the authority to access specific resources or information through a predetermined authentication process within the system.

[0136] "Means of access control" refer to methods and technologies for managing users' access rights, ensuring that only authorized users can access specific information or resources.

[0137] "Deceased person's electronic asset information" refers to financial, contractual, or other valuable information related to the deceased person that is stored as digital data.

[0138] "Means of providing specific information to users" refers to methods and technologies for organizing managed information and presenting it to users in an appropriate and easily understandable format.

[0139] "Means for detecting a user's emotional state" refers to technologies and methods for analyzing a user's facial expressions, voice, and other emotional indicators to understand their emotions at any given time.

[0140] "Means for adjusting the method of information delivery based on detected emotional states" refers to technologies and methods that adapt and change the way information is displayed in order to present information at an appropriate time and in an appropriate format, based on the emotional state of the user.

[0141] This system includes a server, terminals, and an emotion engine for managing the electronic asset information of the deceased. Specific embodiments of each component of the system are described below.

[0142] Server configuration and operation:

[0143] The server uses a database to control access by authorized users and securely manages the deceased's electronic asset information. The server is typically built on the cloud, specifically utilizing commercially available cloud platforms (e.g., services from major cloud providers). The server communicates with terminals via a RESTful API and provides information in response to user requests. Based on instructions from the emotion engine, the server provides information adapted to the user's emotional state.

[0144] Terminal configuration and operation:

[0145] The terminal provides an interface for the user to access the system. The terminal is responsible for collecting the user's facial expressions and voice using a camera and microphone, and transmitting this data to the emotion engine. The hardware used by the terminal is a typical smart device (e.g., smartphone, tablet). The terminal's software provides the user interface, receives user input, and generates requests to the server.

[0146] The structure and operation of the emotion engine:

[0147] The emotion engine uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's emotional state. Specifically, it can use open-source emotion recognition models (e.g., commonly available emotion analysis libraries). The emotion engine receives data sent from the device and recognizes the emotional state (e.g., joy, anxiety, surprise, etc.) in real time. Based on the recognized emotional state, it instructs the server on how to present the information.

[0148] Examples of specific cases and prompt statements:

[0149] For example, when a user tries to check information about a deceased person's bank account, the device's camera detects subtle changes in the user's facial expression, and the emotion engine identifies anxiety. In this case, the emotion engine instructs the server to add a message to the information display screen that reads, "Don't worry, we have support available for the procedure."

[0150] Example of a prompt:

[0151] "If a user is attempting to access a deceased person's asset information and the emotion engine detects anxiety, how will the information be presented?"

[0152] This system configuration allows users to access information in an emotionally sensitive manner, thereby reducing stress and enabling smoother information acquisition.

[0153] The flow of the specific processing in Example 2 will be explained using Figure 13.

[0154] Step 1:

[0155] The user logs into the terminal to access the system. They enter their ID and password on the login screen, and this information is sent to the server by the terminal. The server verifies the entered authentication information against the database, and if authentication is successful, opens a session and grants the user access. The input is the user's ID and password, and the output is the authentication success or failure status.

[0156] Step 2:

[0157] The user requests the retrieval of the deceased person's electronic asset information on their terminal. This request, which includes the type and details of the asset to be retrieved, is sent from the terminal to the server. The server receives the request and extracts the relevant electronic asset information from its database. The input is the asset information request specified by the user, and the output is the requested asset information data.

[0158] Step 3:

[0159] The device uses a camera and microphone to collect facial and voice data in order to detect the user's emotional state in real time. This data is sent to an emotion engine. The input is the user's facial and voice data, and the output is the result of the emotion analysis.

[0160] Step 4:

[0161] The emotion engine analyzes received facial and voice data to identify the user's emotional state. It uses a generative AI model to perform data calculations and detect specific emotions (e.g., relief, anxiety, joy). The input is data for emotion analysis, and the output is the identified emotional state.

[0162] Step 5:

[0163] The server receives emotional information from the emotion engine and determines the style of information delivery based on it. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the server will organize the information concisely to provide reassurance and send it to the terminal. The input is the user's emotional state and asset information, and the output is a tailored information delivery message.

[0164] Step 6:

[0165] The terminal presents electronic asset information to the user in accordance with information display instructions received from the server. In doing so, it utilizes display methods that take the user's emotional state into consideration (e.g., voice guidance and visual support). The input is information display instructions from the server, and the output is an information display presented in a way that is easy for the user to understand.

[0166] (Application Example 2)

[0167] Next, we will explain application example 2. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 as a "terminal".

[0168] In modern information technology, there is a need to properly manage the electronic asset information of deceased individuals while reducing the emotional burden on users when accessing that information. However, conventional systems present information uniformly without considering the user's emotional state, which can cause anxiety and stress when accessing information about the deceased. This situation hinders the smooth progress of inheritance procedures and places an excessive mental burden on users. Therefore, there is a need to develop a system that analyzes the emotional state of users and optimizes the information presentation.

[0169] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0170] In this invention, the server includes means for controlling access by authorized users, means for managing the electronic asset information of the deceased, means for providing users with specific information about the electronic assets, and means for analyzing the emotional state of the user and adjusting the method of presenting the information. This makes it possible for users to access the electronic asset information of the deceased smoothly while reducing their emotional burden.

[0171] An "authorized user" is a user who has received formal authorization to access the target system.

[0172] "Access control" is a management method that ensures that only authorized users can access electronic asset information.

[0173] "Electronic asset information of the deceased" refers to digital asset information related to the deceased, including basic information such as the name of the financial institution and the type of asset.

[0174] "Means for analyzing emotional states" refers to a device or software that has the ability to appropriately adjust the method of information presentation by evaluating emotions in real time based on the user's facial expressions and voice data.

[0175] "Adjusting the presentation method of information" means changing the format and order of information displayed according to the user's emotional state, in order to make it easier for the user to understand and to give them a sense of security.

[0176] The system based on this application example mainly consists of a server, terminals, and an emotion engine. The server is responsible for managing the deceased's electronic asset information and providing appropriate access control to users. This information management includes financial institution names, asset types, and basic asset information. The server centrally manages this information and prepares it for users to access appropriately.

[0177] The terminal is the device that the user uses to interface with this system. Smartphones, tablets, or personal computers can be used. The emotion engine is installed on this terminal and acquires the user's facial expressions and voice data, performing real-time emotion analysis. This allows the system to evaluate the emotional state of deceased individuals when the user accesses their asset information.

[0178] The emotion engine is implemented using a virtual emotion analysis library and collects data using the device's camera and microphone. The emotion analysis results are sent to a server, and the way information is presented is adjusted accordingly. For example, if the analysis indicates that the user is feeling anxious, the server receives this information and makes adjustments to reduce stress. Specifically, it provides screen displays with calming colors and soothing voice guidance to enhance the user's sense of security.

[0179] For example, if the emotion engine detects anxiety when a user attempts a large purchase, the server will send an additional confirmation message, giving the user an opportunity to reconfirm the details of the payment process. Through this process, the transaction proceeds smoothly while reducing the user's anxiety.

[0180] An example of a prompt message would be: "When a user is attempting to make a purchase, analyze their emotions from data collected via camera and microphone. If they are experiencing anxiety or stress, advise on how to adjust the interface to provide reassurance." This prompt would then automatically suggest the optimal information presentation method using a generative AI model.

[0181] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.

[0182] Step 1:

[0183] When the device is activated, the emotion engine uses the device's camera and microphone to collect the user's facial expressions and voice data. This becomes the input data. Based on this input data, the emotion engine applies a real-time emotion analysis algorithm to quantify and output the user's current emotional state.

[0184] Step 2:

[0185] The terminal sends the output of the emotion engine to the server. The server receives this emotional state data and evaluates whether the user is experiencing anxiety or stress. In this process, a specific threshold based on the emotional state is used for evaluation, and the server determines how to present information to reduce stress based on the results.

[0186] Step 3:

[0187] The server collects the deceased's electronic asset information and adjusts the information presentation method according to the assessed emotional state. For example, if the user is experiencing stress, the information is presented in a summarized, concise format using a calming color scheme interface. This adjusted information is then transmitted from the server to the terminal.

[0188] Step 4:

[0189] When a user receives information that has been adjusted on their device, the device displays it on the screen via its interface. Simultaneously, visual and audio guidance designed to provide reassurance is also presented, based on instructions from the server. This output streamlines the user's experience accessing their digital asset information and reduces emotional burden.

[0190] Step 5:

[0191] In response to user actions, the system uses a generated AI model to suggest the next action. Using prompts, it generates guidance on what the user should do next and provides further information if needed. The device then displays an interface that prompts the user for further options and actions based on these AI suggestions.

[0192] 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.

[0193] Data generation model 58 is a 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> ), Gemini (registered trademark) (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include the following. 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. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0194] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and the specific processing may also be performed by the smart device 14.

[0195] [Second Embodiment]

[0196] Figure 3 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 210 according to the second embodiment.

[0197] As shown in Figure 3, the data processing system 210 includes a data processing device 12 and smart glasses 214. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0198] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 is an example of a "computer" related to the technology of this disclosure. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0199] The smart glasses 214 include a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0200] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user 20 and receives instructions from the user 20. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user 20, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0201] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including 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, and captures images of the area around the user 20 (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the width of a typical healthy person's field of vision).

[0202] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0203] Figure 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Figure 4, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0204] The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" relating 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 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0205] The 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.

[0206] In the smart glasses 214, the processor 46 performs the reception output processing. The storage 50 stores the reception output program 60. The processor 46 reads the reception output program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read reception output program 60 on the RAM 48. The reception output processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the reception output program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[0207] Next, the identification processing performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 will be described. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as the "terminal".

[0208] As an embodiment of the present invention, a system is provided for authorized users to appropriately manage and inherit the electronic asset information of a deceased person. The system is implemented using an AI agent running on a server. This AI agent can record the digital asset information of the deceased person and access it as needed.

[0209] The server first manages the asset information registered by the deceased during their lifetime. Specifically, it records the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and a summary of that asset. Each asset includes identifying information about its location and form, ensuring that the system can accurately grasp this information.

[0210] The terminal is used to authenticate authorized users. Users attempt to access the system by proving their access rights using a dedicated authentication method. The server checks the user's permission status based on the authentication information and provides only the necessary information.

[0211] Users are provided with information on which financial institutions hold the deceased's assets and what types of assets they are. Since passwords and detailed authentication information are not included in the information provided, a high level of security is maintained.

[0212] As a concrete example, a user authenticates and accesses a server, and the server returns information to the user such as, "A deposit account exists at Bank A, and it is for savings purposes." Based on this information, the user can smoothly proceed with inheritance procedures at that financial institution.

[0213] This system simplifies digital asset management while ensuring both the reliability and efficiency required for inheritance procedures. This reduces the burden on surviving family members and guarantees that the deceased's estate is properly managed and inherited.

[0214] The following describes the processing flow.

[0215] Step 1:

[0216] The server initializes the AI ​​agent. During this process, it sets the user ID and a list of authorized family members. This determines who can access the asset information.

[0217] Step 2:

[0218] The user inputs the deceased person's digital asset information into the AI ​​agent. Asset entries include the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and a related summary. The server stores this information for future inquiries.

[0219] Step 3:

[0220] The device initiates the authentication process. Authorized users enter their ID, and the server uses this information to verify access rights. Only if authentication is successful will the process proceed to the next step.

[0221] Step 4:

[0222] The server provides digital asset information of the deceased to authenticated users. This information includes the name of the financial institution and the type of asset, but does not include detailed authentication information. Information is provided securely and efficiently.

[0223] Step 5:

[0224] The user initiates inheritance procedures using asset information received from the server. Based on the provided information, the user proceeds with the appropriate procedures at the appropriate institutions and prepares to inherit the deceased's electronic assets. This process ensures a smooth inheritance process.

[0225] (Example 1)

[0226] Next, we will describe Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0227] In today's information society, handling the digital assets of deceased individuals is becoming increasingly complex. Because a vast amount of information is stored electronically, managing and inheriting it properly presents a challenge. In particular, there is a need for efficient and secure systems that protect privacy while providing only the necessary information.

[0228] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0229] In this invention, the server includes means for obtaining authentication information from authorized users, means for storing the deceased's electronic asset information in a database, means for verifying the user's authentication information and confirming access rights, means for filtering and providing the electronic asset information to the user, and means for concealing detailed authentication information to enhance security. This makes it possible to properly manage the deceased's electronic asset information while protecting privacy and to safely and efficiently provide the information that users need.

[0230] "Authorized users" refers to individuals or organizations that have been formally granted access rights to the system.

[0231] "Means of obtaining authentication information" refers to the function of collecting data necessary to verify the legitimacy of the user (e.g., user ID, password, biometric information, etc.).

[0232] "Electronic asset information" refers to valuable digital information and records owned by the deceased (e.g., bank account information, email accounts, cryptocurrency wallets, etc.).

[0233] "Means of storing information in a database" refers to methods and technologies for storing information in a structured format and maintaining it in a way that allows for later searching and updating.

[0234] "Means of verifying authentication information and confirming access rights" refers to the process of determining whether a user is permitted to access the system based on the received authentication information.

[0235] "Means of filtering information" refers to processes and methods that extract necessary elements from a dataset and exclude unnecessary information.

[0236] "Methods for concealing detailed authentication information" refers to mechanisms and technologies for hiding data that should not be made public for security reasons from the information provided to users.

[0237] The server plays a central role in this system. The database located on the server stores electronic asset information registered by the deceased during their lifetime. This database is structured based on the relevant financial institutions, asset types, and detailed asset summaries. A robust database management system (DBMS) and security protocols are used for data processing.

[0238] The terminal provides an interface for users to access the system. Authorized users use the terminal to send authentication information to the server. Specifically, this involves entering a user ID, password, or biometric information through a dedicated application installed on a smartphone or computer. Biometric authentication methods such as fingerprint and facial recognition are also supported.

[0239] Users register their authentication information via their device, and after the server verifies that information, they gain access rights. If authenticated correctly, users can obtain basic information about the deceased's digital assets. For example, information such as "a deposit account exists at financial institution A, and it is for savings" is provided. Based on this information, users can proceed with inheritance procedures that prioritize speed and efficiency.

[0240] This system incorporates a filtering function that ensures only the specific information the user needs is provided. This is to avoid over-distribution of information and to ensure privacy and efficiency.

[0241] Example of a prompt:

[0242] "We want to develop a system that manages digital asset information registered by deceased individuals during their lifetime and provides that information to authorized users. What kind of AI technology would be most effective to utilize?"

[0243] In this form, the present invention provides a practical system for safely and efficiently managing and inheriting the digital assets of a deceased person.

[0244] The flow of the specific processing in Example 1 will be explained using Figure 11.

[0245] Step 1:

[0246] The terminal receives authentication information from the user. This can include a user ID, password, or biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint authentication). This authentication information is obtained as initial data and sent to the server.

[0247] Step 2:

[0248] The server receives authentication information sent from the terminal and compares it with the user's access permission data stored in the database. This process includes security measures such as comparing hashed passwords. If the comparison is successful, the server initiates a session and returns access permission to the terminal. The output is an authentication success message and a session ID.

[0249] Step 3:

[0250] After successful authentication, the user enters search criteria for the deceased's asset information into the terminal. For example, they can specify the name of a particular financial institution or the type of asset. These search criteria are sent to the server as input data for the next data retrieval.

[0251] Step 4:

[0252] The server searches the database based on the received search criteria. It filters the information and extracts asset information of the deceased that matches the specific criteria (e.g., financial institution name and asset type). This process is carried out using database queries and algorithms. The output is the filtered asset information.

[0253] Step 5:

[0254] The terminal displays asset information received from the server on the user interface. The user views this information and verifies its contents. Security-sensitive details (e.g., accurate account numbers) are hidden during this process. The user can then proceed with inheritance procedures based on the necessary information.

[0255] (Application Example 1)

[0256] Next, we will explain Application Example 1. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0257] To safely and efficiently manage the digital assets of the deceased and to provide a secure yet easily accessible system for surviving family members to smoothly carry out inheritance procedures, it is essential to ensure that the system is intuitive to use even for users without technical skills and that proper authentication is implemented to prevent misuse.

[0258] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0259] In this invention, the server includes means for controlling access by authorized users, means for managing the deceased's electronic asset information, means for providing users with specific information about the electronic assets, means for providing asset information to authenticated users using a voice generation module, and means for authenticating users using biometric authentication. This enables intuitive and secure provision of information about the deceased's digital assets, allowing bereaved families to smoothly carry out inheritance procedures.

[0260] "Means of controlling access by authorized users" refers to a function that allows access to the system only when a specific user has been authenticated.

[0261] "Means for managing the deceased's electronic asset information" refers to the function of a system that organizes and stores information regarding digital data and online accounts owned by the deceased.

[0262] "Means of providing users with specific information about electronic assets" refers to a function that presents an overview of the digital assets held by the system to authenticated users.

[0263] "Means of providing asset information to authenticated users using a voice generation module" refers to a system function that uses speech synthesis technology to explain digital asset information in voice to users who have been authenticated through biometric authentication.

[0264] "Means of authenticating users using biometric authentication" refers to a function that uses biometric information such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or voiceprint authentication to identify users and verify their access rights to the system.

[0265] To implement this invention, it is necessary to build a system that securely manages the digital assets of a deceased person and allows authorized users to access that information. The system mainly consists of three components: a server, a terminal, and a user.

[0266] The server plays the role of securely storing and managing the deceased's electronic asset information. The server provides a secure environment for accessing asset information using data encryption technology. To protect this data, the server maintains secure communication using the SSL / TLS protocol.

[0267] The device performs authentication to ensure that only authorized users can access the system. The device uses biometric authentication technology (e.g., facial recognition or voiceprint recognition) to authenticate the user. If authentication is successful, the device sends a secure request to the server and retrieves the necessary digital asset information from the server.

[0268] Users can access the deceased's digital assets through their device only if they have given permission. This allows users to easily check asset information and streamline inheritance procedures. In particular, it includes a function that uses a voice generation module to provide users with voice guidance on the asset information they need.

[0269] As a concrete example, when a user speaks to the device and says, "Show me the previous owner's asset information," the device performs biometric authentication and the server returns information via voice, such as, "There is a deposit account at Bank X, and the current balance is Y yen." An example of a prompt message supporting this example would be, "You are the digital inheritance assistant. Once you are authenticated, we will securely retrieve the deceased's asset information from the server and display the necessary summary."

[0270] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 1 will be explained using Figure 12.

[0271] Step 1:

[0272] The terminal activates a biometric authentication sensor when a user attempts to access digital asset information. The sensor captures a facial image or voice as user input. Based on this input data, the terminal matches it against a pre-registered biometric database to obtain an authentication result. If authentication is successful, it generates a signal to proceed to the next step.

[0273] Step 2:

[0274] Upon successful authentication, the device sends an API request to the server via a secure communication channel. This request includes the user ID and the type of asset information requested. Based on the received request, the server queries the database for the deceased person's relevant asset information and extracts the data. The extracted data is encrypted and sent back to the device.

[0275] Step 3:

[0276] The terminal decrypts the received encrypted data and converts it into a format that the user can understand. This converted information is then converted into audio data by a speech synthesis module. A generative AI model is used for speech generation, and prompts are used to ensure smooth speech output. This audio data is then presented to the user.

[0277] Step 4:

[0278] The user receives voice information provided by the device. If the user requests additional information, they enter it again, and the process begins. If the user has finished confirming the information, the system ends the user's session, and the device enters a standby state.

[0279] Step 5:

[0280] The server securely logs user access history to maintain system security. Access history includes user ID, type of asset information accessed, and access timestamp. This provides records for future audits and troubleshooting.

[0281] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotions may be incorporated. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may use the emotion identification model 59 to estimate the user's emotions and perform identification processing using the user's emotions.

[0282] This invention provides a system that achieves a better user experience in the management and provision of electronic asset information by taking user emotions into consideration. This system comprises a server, a terminal, and an emotion engine.

[0283] The server manages the deceased's electronic asset information and implements appropriate access controls for authorized users. Asset information includes the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and related basic information. The server organizes this information and prepares it for transmission to terminals as needed.

[0284] The terminal serves as an interface for the user to access the system. Through this interface, the emotion engine collects data such as the user's expressions and voice, and recognizes the user's emotional state. This emotional information is sent to the server and is referenced when providing information.

[0285] The emotion engine analyzes emotions in real time and instructs the server on how to present information to the user based on the results. For example, when the user is feeling stressed, measures such as adjusting the timing of information presentation or organizing the information in an easy-to-understand manner are taken.

[0286] As a specific example, when the user attempts to access the asset information of a deceased person, the emotion engine reads the user's uneasiness and provides feedback to the server to present the information in a communication style that gives a sense of security. As a result, the user can smoothly proceed with the inheritance procedures and the emotional burden is reduced.

[0287] By using the emotion engine, this system goes beyond mere information provision and realizes delicate support based on the user's emotions and situation. Therefore, it is possible to provide an environment in which the user can manage and inherit the electronic assets of the deceased person more securely and appropriately.

[0288] The following describes the processing flow.

[0289] Step 1:

[0290] The terminal provides an interface for the user to input their account information. The user attempts to access the system by entering their authentication information.

[0291] Step 2:

[0292] Based on the authentication information received by the server, the user's authorization status is checked. If the user is determined to be an authorized user, the process proceeds to the next step.

[0293] Step 3:

[0294] The device activates an emotion engine to collect the user's emotional state. Sensors capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and this data is then analyzed.

[0295] Step 4:

[0296] The emotion engine analyzes the collected data to identify the user's current emotional state, which includes stress levels and anxiety levels.

[0297] Step 5:

[0298] The server receives the analysis results from the emotion engine and prepares to provide information in a format optimized for the user's emotional state. It adjusts the way information is presented and the content of that information according to the user's emotions.

[0299] Step 6:

[0300] The server selects the electronic asset information of the deceased person to provide to the user and transmits that information to the terminal. The information includes basic details such as what assets are held at which financial institutions.

[0301] Step 7:

[0302] The device presents information to the user in an emotionally sensitive manner. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, explanations are provided in simple language to reassure them.

[0303] Step 8:

[0304] The system proceeds with the necessary inheritance procedures based on the information provided by the user. The information provided by the system supports the user in properly inheriting the deceased's assets.

[0305] (Example 2)

[0306] Next, Example 2 will be described. In the following description, the data processing device 12 is referred to as a "server", and the smart glasses 214 are referred to as a "terminal".

[0307] In the handling of the electronic assets of the deceased in modern times, the importance of access control and authentication for users is increasing. However, when the provided asset information is uniform, stress and confusion may occur due to information provision that ignores the user's emotions and psychological state. In addition, in the conventional system, there is a problem that it is difficult to provide a better user experience because flexible information provision according to the user's emotions cannot be performed.

[0308] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0309] In this invention, the server includes means for performing access control by an authorized user, means for managing the electronic asset information of the deceased, means for providing the user with specific information of the electronic assets, means for detecting the emotional state of the user, and means for adjusting the information provision method based on the detected emotional state. As a result, flexible and reassuring information provision considering the user's emotions becomes possible.

[0310] An "authorized user" is a person or organization that has the right to access specific resources or information through a predefined authentication process in the system.

[0311] The "means for performing access control" is a method or technology for managing the access rights of users so that only authorized users can access specific information or resources.

[0312] The "electronic asset information of the deceased" refers to financial, contractual, or other valuable information related to the deceased stored as digital data.

[0313] "Means of providing specific information to users" refers to methods and technologies for organizing managed information and presenting it to users in an appropriate and easily understandable format.

[0314] "Means for detecting a user's emotional state" refers to technologies and methods for analyzing a user's facial expressions, voice, and other emotional indicators to understand their emotions at any given time.

[0315] "Means for adjusting the method of information delivery based on detected emotional states" refers to technologies and methods that adapt and change the way information is displayed in order to present information at an appropriate time and in an appropriate format, based on the emotional state of the user.

[0316] This system includes a server, terminals, and an emotion engine for managing the electronic asset information of the deceased. Specific embodiments of each component of the system are described below.

[0317] Server configuration and operation:

[0318] The server uses a database to control access by authorized users and securely manages the deceased's electronic asset information. The server is typically built on the cloud, specifically utilizing commercially available cloud platforms (e.g., services from major cloud providers). The server communicates with terminals via a RESTful API and provides information in response to user requests. Based on instructions from the emotion engine, the server provides information adapted to the user's emotional state.

[0319] Terminal configuration and operation:

[0320] The terminal provides an interface for the user to access the system. The terminal is responsible for collecting the user's facial expressions and voice using a camera and microphone, and transmitting this data to the emotion engine. The hardware used by the terminal is a typical smart device (e.g., smartphone, tablet). The terminal's software provides the user interface, receives user input, and generates requests to the server.

[0321] The structure and operation of the emotion engine:

[0322] The emotion engine uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's emotional state. Specifically, it can use open-source emotion recognition models (e.g., commonly available emotion analysis libraries). The emotion engine receives data sent from the device and recognizes the emotional state (e.g., joy, anxiety, surprise, etc.) in real time. Based on the recognized emotional state, it instructs the server on how to present the information.

[0323] Examples of specific cases and prompt statements:

[0324] For example, when a user tries to check information about a deceased person's bank account, the device's camera detects subtle changes in the user's facial expression, and the emotion engine identifies anxiety. In this case, the emotion engine instructs the server to add a message to the information display screen that reads, "Don't worry, we have support available for the procedure."

[0325] Example of a prompt:

[0326] "If a user is attempting to access a deceased person's asset information and the emotion engine detects anxiety, how will the information be presented?"

[0327] This system configuration allows users to access information in an emotionally sensitive manner, thereby reducing stress and enabling smoother information acquisition.

[0328] The flow of the specific processing in Example 2 will be explained using Figure 13.

[0329] Step 1:

[0330] The user logs into the terminal to access the system. They enter their ID and password on the login screen, and this information is sent to the server by the terminal. The server verifies the entered authentication information against the database, and if authentication is successful, opens a session and grants the user access. The input is the user's ID and password, and the output is the authentication success or failure status.

[0331] Step 2:

[0332] The user requests the retrieval of the deceased person's electronic asset information on their terminal. This request, which includes the type and details of the asset to be retrieved, is sent from the terminal to the server. The server receives the request and extracts the relevant electronic asset information from its database. The input is the asset information request specified by the user, and the output is the requested asset information data.

[0333] Step 3:

[0334] The device uses a camera and microphone to collect facial and voice data in order to detect the user's emotional state in real time. This data is sent to an emotion engine. The input is the user's facial and voice data, and the output is the result of the emotion analysis.

[0335] Step 4:

[0336] The emotion engine analyzes received facial and voice data to identify the user's emotional state. It uses a generative AI model to perform data calculations and detect specific emotions (e.g., relief, anxiety, joy). The input is data for emotion analysis, and the output is the identified emotional state.

[0337] Step 5:

[0338] The server receives emotional information from the emotion engine and determines the style of information delivery based on it. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the server will organize the information concisely to provide reassurance and send it to the terminal. The input is the user's emotional state and asset information, and the output is a tailored information delivery message.

[0339] Step 6:

[0340] The terminal presents electronic asset information to the user in accordance with information display instructions received from the server. In doing so, it utilizes display methods that take the user's emotional state into consideration (e.g., voice guidance and visual support). The input is information display instructions from the server, and the output is an information display presented in a way that is easy for the user to understand.

[0341] (Application Example 2)

[0342] Next, we will explain application example 2. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0343] In modern information technology, there is a need to properly manage the electronic asset information of deceased individuals while reducing the emotional burden on users when accessing that information. However, conventional systems present information uniformly without considering the user's emotional state, which can cause anxiety and stress when accessing information about the deceased. This situation hinders the smooth progress of inheritance procedures and places an excessive mental burden on users. Therefore, there is a need to develop a system that analyzes the emotional state of users and optimizes the information presentation.

[0344] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0345] In this invention, the server includes means for controlling access by authorized users, means for managing the electronic asset information of the deceased, means for providing users with specific information about the electronic assets, and means for analyzing the emotional state of the user and adjusting the method of presenting the information. This makes it possible for users to access the electronic asset information of the deceased smoothly while reducing their emotional burden.

[0346] An "authorized user" is a user who has received formal authorization to access the target system.

[0347] "Access control" is a management method that ensures that only authorized users can access electronic asset information.

[0348] "Electronic asset information of the deceased" refers to digital asset information related to the deceased, including basic information such as the name of the financial institution and the type of asset.

[0349] "Means for analyzing emotional states" refers to a device or software that has the ability to appropriately adjust the method of information presentation by evaluating emotions in real time based on the user's facial expressions and voice data.

[0350] "Adjusting the presentation method of information" means changing the format and order of information displayed according to the user's emotional state, in order to make it easier for the user to understand and to give them a sense of security.

[0351] The system based on this application example mainly consists of a server, terminals, and an emotion engine. The server is responsible for managing the deceased's electronic asset information and providing appropriate access control to users. This information management includes financial institution names, asset types, and basic asset information. The server centrally manages this information and prepares it for users to access appropriately.

[0352] The terminal is the device that the user uses to interface with this system. Smartphones, tablets, or personal computers can be used. The emotion engine is installed on this terminal and acquires the user's facial expressions and voice data, performing real-time emotion analysis. This allows the system to evaluate the emotional state of deceased individuals when the user accesses their asset information.

[0353] The emotion engine is implemented using a virtual emotion analysis library and collects data using the device's camera and microphone. The emotion analysis results are sent to a server, and the way information is presented is adjusted accordingly. For example, if the analysis indicates that the user is feeling anxious, the server receives this information and makes adjustments to reduce stress. Specifically, it provides screen displays with calming colors and soothing voice guidance to enhance the user's sense of security.

[0354] For example, if the emotion engine detects anxiety when a user attempts a large purchase, the server will send an additional confirmation message, giving the user an opportunity to reconfirm the details of the payment process. Through this process, the transaction proceeds smoothly while reducing the user's anxiety.

[0355] An example of a prompt message would be: "When a user is attempting to make a purchase, analyze their emotions from data collected via camera and microphone. If they are experiencing anxiety or stress, advise on how to adjust the interface to provide reassurance." This prompt would then automatically suggest the optimal information presentation method using a generative AI model.

[0356] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.

[0357] Step 1:

[0358] When the device is activated, the emotion engine uses the device's camera and microphone to collect the user's facial expressions and voice data. This becomes the input data. Based on this input data, the emotion engine applies a real-time emotion analysis algorithm to quantify and output the user's current emotional state.

[0359] Step 2:

[0360] The terminal sends the output of the emotion engine to the server. The server receives this emotional state data and evaluates whether the user is experiencing anxiety or stress. In this process, a specific threshold based on the emotional state is used for evaluation, and the server determines how to present information to reduce stress based on the results.

[0361] Step 3:

[0362] The server collects the deceased's electronic asset information and adjusts the information presentation method according to the assessed emotional state. For example, if the user is experiencing stress, the information is presented in a summarized, concise format using a calming color scheme interface. This adjusted information is then transmitted from the server to the terminal.

[0363] Step 4:

[0364] When a user receives information that has been adjusted on their device, the device displays it on the screen via its interface. Simultaneously, visual and audio guidance designed to provide reassurance is also presented, based on instructions from the server. This output streamlines the user's experience accessing their digital asset information and reduces emotional burden.

[0365] Step 5:

[0366] In response to user actions, the system uses a generated AI model to suggest the next action. Using prompts, it generates guidance on what the user should do next and provides further information if needed. The device then displays an interface that prompts the user for further options and actions based on these AI suggestions.

[0367] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 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.

[0368] Data generation model 58 is a type of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). One example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include the following. 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. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0369] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and the specific processing may also be performed by the smart glasses 214.

[0370] [Third Embodiment]

[0371] Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.

[0372] As shown in Figure 5, the data processing system 310 includes a data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0373] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 is an example of a "computer" related to the technology of this disclosure. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0374] The headset terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a display 343. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0375] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user 20 and receives instructions from the user 20. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user 20, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0376] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including 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, and captures images of the area around the user 20 (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the width of a typical healthy person's field of vision).

[0377] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0378] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0379] The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" relating 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 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0380] The 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.

[0381] In the headset terminal 314, the processor 46 performs the reception output processing. The storage 50 stores the reception output program 60. The processor 46 reads the reception output program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read reception output program 60 on the RAM 48. The reception output processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the reception output program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[0382] Next, the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 will be described. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the headset terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal".

[0383] As an embodiment of the present invention, a system is provided for authorized users to appropriately manage and inherit the electronic asset information of a deceased person. The system is implemented using an AI agent running on a server. This AI agent can record the digital asset information of the deceased person and access it as needed.

[0384] The server first manages the asset information registered by the deceased during their lifetime. Specifically, it records the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and a summary of that asset. Each asset includes identifying information about its location and form, ensuring that the system can accurately grasp this information.

[0385] The terminal is used to authenticate authorized users. Users attempt to access the system by proving their access rights using a dedicated authentication method. The server checks the user's permission status based on the authentication information and provides only the necessary information.

[0386] Users are provided with information on which financial institutions hold the deceased's assets and what types of assets they are. Since passwords and detailed authentication information are not included in the information provided, a high level of security is maintained.

[0387] As a concrete example, a user authenticates and accesses a server, and the server returns information to the user such as, "A deposit account exists at Bank A, and it is for savings purposes." Based on this information, the user can smoothly proceed with inheritance procedures at that financial institution.

[0388] This system simplifies digital asset management while ensuring both the reliability and efficiency required for inheritance procedures. This reduces the burden on surviving family members and guarantees that the deceased's estate is properly managed and inherited.

[0389] The following describes the processing flow.

[0390] Step 1:

[0391] The server initializes the AI ​​agent. During this process, it sets the user ID and a list of authorized family members. This determines who can access the asset information.

[0392] Step 2:

[0393] The user inputs the deceased person's digital asset information into the AI ​​agent. Asset entries include the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and a related summary. The server stores this information for future inquiries.

[0394] Step 3:

[0395] The device initiates the authentication process. Authorized users enter their ID, and the server uses this information to verify access rights. Only if authentication is successful will the process proceed to the next step.

[0396] Step 4:

[0397] The server provides digital asset information of the deceased to authenticated users. This information includes the name of the financial institution and the type of asset, but does not include detailed authentication information. Information is provided securely and efficiently.

[0398] Step 5:

[0399] The user initiates inheritance procedures using asset information received from the server. Based on the provided information, the user proceeds with the appropriate procedures at the appropriate institutions and prepares to inherit the deceased's electronic assets. This process ensures a smooth inheritance process.

[0400] (Example 1)

[0401] Next, we will describe Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the headset-type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0402] In today's information society, handling the digital assets of deceased individuals is becoming increasingly complex. Because a vast amount of information is stored electronically, managing and inheriting it properly presents a challenge. In particular, there is a need for efficient and secure systems that protect privacy while providing only the necessary information.

[0403] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0404] In this invention, the server includes means for obtaining authentication information from authorized users, means for storing the deceased's electronic asset information in a database, means for verifying the user's authentication information and confirming access rights, means for filtering and providing the electronic asset information to the user, and means for concealing detailed authentication information to enhance security. This makes it possible to properly manage the deceased's electronic asset information while protecting privacy and to safely and efficiently provide the information that users need.

[0405] "Authorized users" refers to individuals or organizations that have been formally granted access rights to the system.

[0406] "Means of obtaining authentication information" refers to the function of collecting data necessary to verify the legitimacy of the user (e.g., user ID, password, biometric information, etc.).

[0407] "Electronic asset information" refers to valuable digital information and records owned by the deceased (e.g., bank account information, email accounts, cryptocurrency wallets, etc.).

[0408] "Means of storing information in a database" refers to methods and technologies for storing information in a structured format and maintaining it in a way that allows for later searching and updating.

[0409] "Means of verifying authentication information and confirming access rights" refers to the process of determining whether a user is permitted to access the system based on the received authentication information.

[0410] "Means of filtering information" refers to processes and methods that extract necessary elements from a dataset and exclude unnecessary information.

[0411] "Methods for concealing detailed authentication information" refers to mechanisms and technologies for hiding data that should not be made public for security reasons from the information provided to users.

[0412] The server plays a central role in this system. The database located on the server stores electronic asset information registered by the deceased during their lifetime. This database is structured based on the relevant financial institutions, asset types, and detailed asset summaries. A robust database management system (DBMS) and security protocols are used for data processing.

[0413] The terminal provides an interface for users to access the system. Authorized users use the terminal to send authentication information to the server. Specifically, this involves entering a user ID, password, or biometric information through a dedicated application installed on a smartphone or computer. Biometric authentication methods such as fingerprint and facial recognition are also supported.

[0414] Users register their authentication information via their device, and after the server verifies that information, they gain access rights. If authenticated correctly, users can obtain basic information about the deceased's digital assets. For example, information such as "a deposit account exists at financial institution A, and it is for savings" is provided. Based on this information, users can proceed with inheritance procedures that prioritize speed and efficiency.

[0415] This system incorporates a filtering function that ensures only the specific information the user needs is provided. This is to avoid over-distribution of information and to ensure privacy and efficiency.

[0416] Example of a prompt:

[0417] "We want to develop a system that manages digital asset information registered by deceased individuals during their lifetime and provides that information to authorized users. What kind of AI technology would be most effective to utilize?"

[0418] In this form, the present invention provides a practical system for safely and efficiently managing and inheriting the digital assets of a deceased person.

[0419] The flow of the specific processing in Example 1 will be explained using Figure 11.

[0420] Step 1:

[0421] The terminal receives authentication information from the user. This can include a user ID, password, or biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint authentication). This authentication information is obtained as initial data and sent to the server.

[0422] Step 2:

[0423] The server receives authentication information sent from the terminal and compares it with the user's access permission data stored in the database. This process includes security measures such as comparing hashed passwords. If the comparison is successful, the server initiates a session and returns access permission to the terminal. The output is an authentication success message and a session ID.

[0424] Step 3:

[0425] After successful authentication, the user enters search criteria for the deceased's asset information into the terminal. For example, they can specify the name of a particular financial institution or the type of asset. These search criteria are sent to the server as input data for the next data retrieval.

[0426] Step 4:

[0427] The server searches the database based on the received search criteria. It filters the information and extracts asset information of the deceased that matches the specific criteria (e.g., financial institution name and asset type). This process is carried out using database queries and algorithms. The output is the filtered asset information.

[0428] Step 5:

[0429] The terminal displays asset information received from the server on the user interface. The user views this information and verifies its contents. Security-sensitive details (e.g., accurate account numbers) are hidden during this process. The user can then proceed with inheritance procedures based on the necessary information.

[0430] (Application Example 1)

[0431] Next, we will explain Application Example 1. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the headset-type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0432] To safely and efficiently manage the digital assets of the deceased and to provide a secure yet easily accessible system for surviving family members to smoothly carry out inheritance procedures, it is essential to ensure that the system is intuitive to use even for users without technical skills and that proper authentication is implemented to prevent misuse.

[0433] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0434] In this invention, the server includes means for controlling access by authorized users, means for managing the deceased's electronic asset information, means for providing users with specific information about the electronic assets, means for providing asset information to authenticated users using a voice generation module, and means for authenticating users using biometric authentication. This enables intuitive and secure provision of information about the deceased's digital assets, allowing bereaved families to smoothly carry out inheritance procedures.

[0435] "Means of controlling access by authorized users" refers to a function that allows access to the system only when a specific user has been authenticated.

[0436] "Means for managing the deceased's electronic asset information" refers to the function of a system that organizes and stores information regarding digital data and online accounts owned by the deceased.

[0437] "Means of providing users with specific information about electronic assets" refers to a function that presents an overview of the digital assets held by the system to authenticated users.

[0438] "Means of providing asset information to authenticated users using a voice generation module" refers to a system function that uses speech synthesis technology to explain digital asset information in voice to users who have been authenticated through biometric authentication.

[0439] "Means of authenticating users using biometric authentication" refers to a function that uses biometric information such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or voiceprint authentication to identify users and verify their access rights to the system.

[0440] To implement this invention, it is necessary to build a system that securely manages the digital assets of a deceased person and allows authorized users to access that information. The system mainly consists of three components: a server, a terminal, and a user.

[0441] The server plays the role of securely storing and managing the deceased's electronic asset information. The server provides a secure environment for accessing asset information using data encryption technology. To protect this data, the server maintains secure communication using the SSL / TLS protocol.

[0442] The device performs authentication to ensure that only authorized users can access the system. The device uses biometric authentication technology (e.g., facial recognition or voiceprint recognition) to authenticate the user. If authentication is successful, the device sends a secure request to the server and retrieves the necessary digital asset information from the server.

[0443] Users can access the deceased's digital assets through their device only if they have given permission. This allows users to easily check asset information and streamline inheritance procedures. In particular, it includes a function that uses a voice generation module to provide users with voice guidance on the asset information they need.

[0444] As a concrete example, when a user speaks to the device and says, "Show me the previous owner's asset information," the device performs biometric authentication and the server returns information via voice, such as, "There is a deposit account at Bank X, and the current balance is Y yen." An example of a prompt message supporting this example would be, "You are the digital inheritance assistant. Once you are authenticated, we will securely retrieve the deceased's asset information from the server and display the necessary summary."

[0445] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 1 will be explained using Figure 12.

[0446] Step 1:

[0447] The terminal activates a biometric authentication sensor when a user attempts to access digital asset information. The sensor captures a facial image or voice as user input. Based on this input data, the terminal matches it against a pre-registered biometric database to obtain an authentication result. If authentication is successful, it generates a signal to proceed to the next step.

[0448] Step 2:

[0449] Upon successful authentication, the device sends an API request to the server via a secure communication channel. This request includes the user ID and the type of asset information requested. Based on the received request, the server queries the database for the deceased person's relevant asset information and extracts the data. The extracted data is encrypted and sent back to the device.

[0450] Step 3:

[0451] The terminal decrypts the received encrypted data and converts it into a format that the user can understand. This converted information is then converted into audio data by a speech synthesis module. A generative AI model is used for speech generation, and prompts are used to ensure smooth speech output. This audio data is then presented to the user.

[0452] Step 4:

[0453] The user receives voice information provided by the device. If the user requests additional information, they enter it again, and the process begins. If the user has finished confirming the information, the system ends the user's session, and the device enters a standby state.

[0454] Step 5:

[0455] The server securely logs user access history to maintain system security. Access history includes user ID, type of asset information accessed, and access timestamp. This provides records for future audits and troubleshooting.

[0456] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotions may be incorporated. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may use the emotion identification model 59 to estimate the user's emotions and perform identification processing using the user's emotions.

[0457] This invention provides a system that achieves a better user experience in the management and provision of electronic asset information by taking user emotions into consideration. This system comprises a server, a terminal, and an emotion engine.

[0458] The server manages the deceased's electronic asset information and implements appropriate access controls for authorized users. Asset information includes the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and related basic information. The server organizes this information and prepares it for transmission to terminals as needed.

[0459] The terminal serves as the interface for users to access the system. Through this interface, the emotion engine collects data such as the user's facial expressions and voice, and recognizes the user's emotional state. This emotional information is sent to the server and referenced when providing information.

[0460] The emotion engine analyzes emotions in real time and instructs the server on how to present information to the user based on the results. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the timing of information presentation may be adjusted, or the information may be organized in a way that makes it easier to understand.

[0461] As a concrete example, when a user attempts to access a deceased person's asset information, the emotion engine reads the user's anxieties and provides feedback to the server, presenting the information in a reassuring communication style. This allows the user to proceed with inheritance procedures smoothly and reduces their emotional burden.

[0462] This system, by utilizing an emotion engine, goes beyond mere information provision to provide meticulous support that takes into account the user's emotions and circumstances. Therefore, it can provide an environment where users can manage and pass on the deceased's electronic assets with greater peace of mind and in an appropriate manner.

[0463] The following describes the processing flow.

[0464] Step 1:

[0465] The terminal provides an interface for the user to enter their account information. The user attempts to access the system by entering their authentication information.

[0466] Step 2:

[0467] Based on the authentication information received by the server, the user's authorization status is checked. If the user is determined to be an authorized user, the process proceeds to the next step.

[0468] Step 3:

[0469] The device activates an emotion engine to collect the user's emotional state. Sensors capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and this data is then analyzed.

[0470] Step 4:

[0471] The emotion engine analyzes the collected data to identify the user's current emotional state, which includes stress levels and anxiety levels.

[0472] Step 5:

[0473] The server receives the analysis results from the emotion engine and prepares to provide information in a format optimized for the user's emotional state. It adjusts the way information is presented and the content of that information according to the user's emotions.

[0474] Step 6:

[0475] The server selects the electronic asset information of the deceased person to provide to the user and transmits that information to the terminal. The information includes basic details such as what assets are held at which financial institutions.

[0476] Step 7:

[0477] The device presents information to the user in an emotionally sensitive manner. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, explanations are provided in simple language to reassure them.

[0478] Step 8:

[0479] The system proceeds with the necessary inheritance procedures based on the information provided by the user. The information provided by the system supports the user in properly inheriting the deceased's assets.

[0480] (Example 2)

[0481] Next, we will describe Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the headset-type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0482] In modern times, access control and authentication for users are increasingly important when handling the electronic assets of deceased individuals. However, if the asset information provided is uniform, it can lead to stress and confusion due to the disregard for users' feelings and psychological state. In addition, conventional systems have the challenge of not being able to provide flexible information that responds to users' emotions, making it difficult to provide a better user experience.

[0483] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0484] In this invention, the server includes means for controlling access by authorized users, means for managing the electronic asset information of a deceased person, means for providing users with specific information about the electronic assets, means for detecting the emotional state of the user, and means for adjusting the information provision method based on the detected emotional state. This enables flexible and reassuring information provision that takes the user's emotions into consideration.

[0485] An "authorized user" is a person or organization that has the authority to access specific resources or information through a predetermined authentication process within the system.

[0486] "Means of access control" refer to methods and technologies for managing users' access rights, ensuring that only authorized users can access specific information or resources.

[0487] "Deceased person's electronic asset information" refers to financial, contractual, or other valuable information related to the deceased person that is stored as digital data.

[0488] "Means of providing specific information to users" refers to methods and technologies for organizing managed information and presenting it to users in an appropriate and easily understandable format.

[0489] "Means for detecting a user's emotional state" refers to technologies and methods for analyzing a user's facial expressions, voice, and other emotional indicators to understand their emotions at any given time.

[0490] "Means for adjusting the method of information delivery based on detected emotional states" refers to technologies and methods that adapt and change the way information is displayed in order to present information at an appropriate time and in an appropriate format, based on the emotional state of the user.

[0491] This system includes a server, terminals, and an emotion engine for managing the electronic asset information of the deceased. Specific embodiments of each component of the system are described below.

[0492] Server configuration and operation:

[0493] The server uses a database to control access by authorized users and securely manages the deceased's electronic asset information. The server is typically built on the cloud, specifically utilizing commercially available cloud platforms (e.g., services from major cloud providers). The server communicates with terminals via a RESTful API and provides information in response to user requests. Based on instructions from the emotion engine, the server provides information adapted to the user's emotional state.

[0494] Terminal configuration and operation:

[0495] The terminal provides an interface for the user to access the system. The terminal is responsible for collecting the user's facial expressions and voice using a camera and microphone, and transmitting this data to the emotion engine. The hardware used by the terminal is a typical smart device (e.g., smartphone, tablet). The terminal's software provides the user interface, receives user input, and generates requests to the server.

[0496] The structure and operation of the emotion engine:

[0497] The emotion engine uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's emotional state. Specifically, it can use open-source emotion recognition models (e.g., commonly available emotion analysis libraries). The emotion engine receives data sent from the device and recognizes the emotional state (e.g., joy, anxiety, surprise, etc.) in real time. Based on the recognized emotional state, it instructs the server on how to present the information.

[0498] Examples of specific cases and prompt statements:

[0499] For example, when a user tries to check information about a deceased person's bank account, the device's camera detects subtle changes in the user's facial expression, and the emotion engine identifies anxiety. In this case, the emotion engine instructs the server to add a message to the information display screen that reads, "Don't worry, we have support available for the procedure."

[0500] Example of a prompt:

[0501] "If a user is attempting to access a deceased person's asset information and the emotion engine detects anxiety, how will the information be presented?"

[0502] This system configuration allows users to access information in an emotionally sensitive manner, thereby reducing stress and enabling smoother information acquisition.

[0503] The flow of the specific processing in Example 2 will be explained using Figure 13.

[0504] Step 1:

[0505] The user logs into the terminal to access the system. They enter their ID and password on the login screen, and this information is sent to the server by the terminal. The server verifies the entered authentication information against the database, and if authentication is successful, opens a session and grants the user access. The input is the user's ID and password, and the output is the authentication success or failure status.

[0506] Step 2:

[0507] The user requests the retrieval of the deceased person's electronic asset information on their terminal. This request, which includes the type and details of the asset to be retrieved, is sent from the terminal to the server. The server receives the request and extracts the relevant electronic asset information from its database. The input is the asset information request specified by the user, and the output is the requested asset information data.

[0508] Step 3:

[0509] The device uses a camera and microphone to collect facial and voice data in order to detect the user's emotional state in real time. This data is sent to an emotion engine. The input is the user's facial and voice data, and the output is the result of the emotion analysis.

[0510] Step 4:

[0511] The emotion engine analyzes received facial and voice data to identify the user's emotional state. It uses a generative AI model to perform data calculations and detect specific emotions (e.g., relief, anxiety, joy). The input is data for emotion analysis, and the output is the identified emotional state.

[0512] Step 5:

[0513] The server receives emotional information from the emotion engine and determines the style of information delivery based on it. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the server will organize the information concisely to provide reassurance and send it to the terminal. The input is the user's emotional state and asset information, and the output is a tailored information delivery message.

[0514] Step 6:

[0515] The terminal presents electronic asset information to the user in accordance with information display instructions received from the server. In doing so, it utilizes display methods that take the user's emotional state into consideration (e.g., voice guidance and visual support). The input is information display instructions from the server, and the output is an information display presented in a way that is easy for the user to understand.

[0516] (Application Example 2)

[0517] Next, we will explain application example 2. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the headset-type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0518] In modern information technology, there is a need to properly manage the electronic asset information of deceased individuals while reducing the emotional burden on users when accessing that information. However, conventional systems present information uniformly without considering the user's emotional state, which can cause anxiety and stress when accessing information about the deceased. This situation hinders the smooth progress of inheritance procedures and places an excessive mental burden on users. Therefore, there is a need to develop a system that analyzes the emotional state of users and optimizes the information presentation.

[0519] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0520] In this invention, the server includes means for controlling access by authorized users, means for managing the electronic asset information of the deceased, means for providing users with specific information about the electronic assets, and means for analyzing the emotional state of the user and adjusting the method of presenting the information. This makes it possible for users to access the electronic asset information of the deceased smoothly while reducing their emotional burden.

[0521] An "authorized user" is a user who has received formal authorization to access the target system.

[0522] "Access control" is a management method that ensures that only authorized users can access electronic asset information.

[0523] "Electronic asset information of the deceased" refers to digital asset information related to the deceased, including basic information such as the name of the financial institution and the type of asset.

[0524] "Means for analyzing emotional states" refers to a device or software that has the ability to appropriately adjust the method of information presentation by evaluating emotions in real time based on the user's facial expressions and voice data.

[0525] "Adjusting the presentation method of information" means changing the format and order of information displayed according to the user's emotional state, in order to make it easier for the user to understand and to give them a sense of security.

[0526] The system based on this application example mainly consists of a server, terminals, and an emotion engine. The server is responsible for managing the deceased's electronic asset information and providing appropriate access control to users. This information management includes financial institution names, asset types, and basic asset information. The server centrally manages this information and prepares it for users to access appropriately.

[0527] The terminal is the device that the user uses to interface with this system. Smartphones, tablets, or personal computers can be used. The emotion engine is installed on this terminal and acquires the user's facial expressions and voice data, performing real-time emotion analysis. This allows the system to evaluate the emotional state of deceased individuals when the user accesses their asset information.

[0528] The emotion engine is implemented using a virtual emotion analysis library and collects data using the device's camera and microphone. The emotion analysis results are sent to a server, and the way information is presented is adjusted accordingly. For example, if the analysis indicates that the user is feeling anxious, the server receives this information and makes adjustments to reduce stress. Specifically, it provides screen displays with calming colors and soothing voice guidance to enhance the user's sense of security.

[0529] For example, if the emotion engine detects anxiety when a user attempts a large purchase, the server will send an additional confirmation message, giving the user an opportunity to reconfirm the details of the payment process. Through this process, the transaction proceeds smoothly while reducing the user's anxiety.

[0530] An example of a prompt message would be: "When a user is attempting to make a purchase, analyze their emotions from data collected via camera and microphone. If they are experiencing anxiety or stress, advise on how to adjust the interface to provide reassurance." This prompt would then automatically suggest the optimal information presentation method using a generative AI model.

[0531] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.

[0532] Step 1:

[0533] When the device is activated, the emotion engine uses the device's camera and microphone to collect the user's facial expressions and voice data. This becomes the input data. Based on this input data, the emotion engine applies a real-time emotion analysis algorithm to quantify and output the user's current emotional state.

[0534] Step 2:

[0535] The terminal sends the output of the emotion engine to the server. The server receives this emotional state data and evaluates whether the user is experiencing anxiety or stress. In this process, a specific threshold based on the emotional state is used for evaluation, and the server determines how to present information to reduce stress based on the results.

[0536] Step 3:

[0537] The server collects the deceased's electronic asset information and adjusts the information presentation method according to the assessed emotional state. For example, if the user is experiencing stress, the information is presented in a summarized, concise format using a calming color scheme interface. This adjusted information is then transmitted from the server to the terminal.

[0538] Step 4:

[0539] When a user receives information that has been adjusted on their device, the device displays it on the screen via its interface. Simultaneously, visual and audio guidance designed to provide reassurance is also presented, based on instructions from the server. This output streamlines the user's experience accessing their digital asset information and reduces emotional burden.

[0540] Step 5:

[0541] In response to user actions, the system uses a generated AI model to suggest the next action. Using prompts, it generates guidance on what the user should do next and provides further information if needed. The device then displays an interface that prompts the user for further options and actions based on these AI suggestions.

[0542] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 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.

[0543] Data generation model 58 is a type of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). One example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include the following. 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. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0544] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and specific processing may also be performed by the headset terminal 314.

[0545] [Fourth Embodiment]

[0546] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0547] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0548] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 is an example of a "computer" related to the technology of this disclosure. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0549] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0550] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user 20 and receives instructions from the user 20. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user 20, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0551] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including 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, and captures images of the area around the user 20 (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the width of a typical healthy person's field of vision).

[0552] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0553] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. Furthermore, the robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0554] 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.

[0555] The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" relating 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 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0556] The 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.

[0557] In robot 414, the processor 46 performs the reception output processing. The storage 50 stores the reception output program 60. The processor 46 reads the reception output program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read reception output program 60 on the RAM 48. The reception output processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the reception output program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[0558] Next, the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 will be described. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".

[0559] As an embodiment of the present invention, a system is provided for authorized users to appropriately manage and inherit the electronic asset information of a deceased person. The system is implemented using an AI agent running on a server. This AI agent can record the digital asset information of the deceased person and access it as needed.

[0560] The server first manages the asset information registered by the deceased during their lifetime. Specifically, it records the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and a summary of that asset. Each asset includes identifying information about its location and form, ensuring that the system can accurately grasp this information.

[0561] The terminal is used to authenticate authorized users. Users attempt to access the system by proving their access rights using a dedicated authentication method. The server checks the user's permission status based on the authentication information and provides only the necessary information.

[0562] Users are provided with information on which financial institutions hold the deceased's assets and what types of assets they are. Since passwords and detailed authentication information are not included in the information provided, a high level of security is maintained.

[0563] As a concrete example, a user authenticates and accesses a server, and the server returns information to the user such as, "A deposit account exists at Bank A, and it is for savings purposes." Based on this information, the user can smoothly proceed with inheritance procedures at that financial institution.

[0564] This system simplifies digital asset management while ensuring both the reliability and efficiency required for inheritance procedures. This reduces the burden on surviving family members and guarantees that the deceased's estate is properly managed and inherited.

[0565] The following describes the processing flow.

[0566] Step 1:

[0567] The server initializes the AI ​​agent. During this process, it sets the user ID and a list of authorized family members. This determines who can access the asset information.

[0568] Step 2:

[0569] The user inputs the deceased person's digital asset information into the AI ​​agent. Asset entries include the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and a related summary. The server stores this information for future inquiries.

[0570] Step 3:

[0571] The device initiates the authentication process. Authorized users enter their ID, and the server uses this information to verify access rights. Only if authentication is successful will the process proceed to the next step.

[0572] Step 4:

[0573] The server provides digital asset information of the deceased to authenticated users. This information includes the name of the financial institution and the type of asset, but does not include detailed authentication information. Information is provided securely and efficiently.

[0574] Step 5:

[0575] The user initiates inheritance procedures using asset information received from the server. Based on the provided information, the user proceeds with the appropriate procedures at the appropriate institutions and prepares to inherit the deceased's electronic assets. This process ensures a smooth inheritance process.

[0576] (Example 1)

[0577] Next, we will describe Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".

[0578] In today's information society, handling the digital assets of deceased individuals is becoming increasingly complex. Because a vast amount of information is stored electronically, managing and inheriting it properly presents a challenge. In particular, there is a need for efficient and secure systems that protect privacy while providing only the necessary information.

[0579] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0580] In this invention, the server includes means for obtaining authentication information from authorized users, means for storing the deceased's electronic asset information in a database, means for verifying the user's authentication information and confirming access rights, means for filtering and providing the electronic asset information to the user, and means for concealing detailed authentication information to enhance security. This makes it possible to properly manage the deceased's electronic asset information while protecting privacy and to safely and efficiently provide the information that users need.

[0581] "Authorized users" refers to individuals or organizations that have been formally granted access rights to the system.

[0582] "Means of obtaining authentication information" refers to the function of collecting data necessary to verify the legitimacy of the user (e.g., user ID, password, biometric information, etc.).

[0583] "Electronic asset information" refers to valuable digital information and records owned by the deceased (e.g., bank account information, email accounts, cryptocurrency wallets, etc.).

[0584] "Means of storing information in a database" refers to methods and technologies for storing information in a structured format and maintaining it in a way that allows for later searching and updating.

[0585] "Means of verifying authentication information and confirming access rights" refers to the process of determining whether a user is permitted to access the system based on the received authentication information.

[0586] "Means of filtering information" refers to processes and methods that extract necessary elements from a dataset and exclude unnecessary information.

[0587] "Methods for concealing detailed authentication information" refers to mechanisms and technologies for hiding data that should not be made public for security reasons from the information provided to users.

[0588] The server plays a central role in this system. The database located on the server stores electronic asset information registered by the deceased during their lifetime. This database is structured based on the relevant financial institutions, asset types, and detailed asset summaries. A robust database management system (DBMS) and security protocols are used for data processing.

[0589] The terminal provides an interface for users to access the system. Authorized users use the terminal to send authentication information to the server. Specifically, this involves entering a user ID, password, or biometric information through a dedicated application installed on a smartphone or computer. Biometric authentication methods such as fingerprint and facial recognition are also supported.

[0590] Users register their authentication information via their device, and after the server verifies that information, they gain access rights. If authenticated correctly, users can obtain basic information about the deceased's digital assets. For example, information such as "a deposit account exists at financial institution A, and it is for savings" is provided. Based on this information, users can proceed with inheritance procedures that prioritize speed and efficiency.

[0591] This system incorporates a filtering function that ensures only the specific information the user needs is provided. This is to avoid over-distribution of information and to ensure privacy and efficiency.

[0592] Example of a prompt:

[0593] "We want to develop a system that manages digital asset information registered by deceased individuals during their lifetime and provides that information to authorized users. What kind of AI technology would be most effective to utilize?"

[0594] In this form, the present invention provides a practical system for safely and efficiently managing and inheriting the digital assets of a deceased person.

[0595] The flow of the specific processing in Example 1 will be explained using Figure 11.

[0596] Step 1:

[0597] The terminal receives authentication information from the user. This can include a user ID, password, or biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint authentication). This authentication information is obtained as initial data and sent to the server.

[0598] Step 2:

[0599] The server receives authentication information sent from the terminal and compares it with the user's access permission data stored in the database. This process includes security measures such as comparing hashed passwords. If the comparison is successful, the server initiates a session and returns access permission to the terminal. The output is an authentication success message and a session ID.

[0600] Step 3:

[0601] After successful authentication, the user enters search criteria for the deceased's asset information into the terminal. For example, they can specify the name of a particular financial institution or the type of asset. These search criteria are sent to the server as input data for the next data retrieval.

[0602] Step 4:

[0603] The server searches the database based on the received search criteria. It filters the information and extracts asset information of the deceased that matches the specific criteria (e.g., financial institution name and asset type). This process is carried out using database queries and algorithms. The output is the filtered asset information.

[0604] Step 5:

[0605] The terminal displays asset information received from the server on the user interface. The user views this information and verifies its contents. Security-sensitive details (e.g., accurate account numbers) are hidden during this process. The user can then proceed with inheritance procedures based on the necessary information.

[0606] (Application Example 1)

[0607] Next, we will explain Application Example 1. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".

[0608] To safely and efficiently manage the digital assets of the deceased and to provide a secure yet easily accessible system for surviving family members to smoothly carry out inheritance procedures, it is essential to ensure that the system is intuitive to use even for users without technical skills and that proper authentication is implemented to prevent misuse.

[0609] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0610] In this invention, the server includes means for controlling access by authorized users, means for managing the deceased's electronic asset information, means for providing users with specific information about the electronic assets, means for providing asset information to authenticated users using a voice generation module, and means for authenticating users using biometric authentication. This enables intuitive and secure provision of information about the deceased's digital assets, allowing bereaved families to smoothly carry out inheritance procedures.

[0611] "Means of controlling access by authorized users" refers to a function that allows access to the system only when a specific user has been authenticated.

[0612] "Means for managing the deceased's electronic asset information" refers to the function of a system that organizes and stores information regarding digital data and online accounts owned by the deceased.

[0613] "Means of providing users with specific information about electronic assets" refers to a function that presents an overview of the digital assets held by the system to authenticated users.

[0614] "Means of providing asset information to authenticated users using a voice generation module" refers to a system function that uses speech synthesis technology to explain digital asset information in voice to users who have been authenticated through biometric authentication.

[0615] "Means of authenticating users using biometric authentication" refers to a function that uses biometric information such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or voiceprint authentication to identify users and verify their access rights to the system.

[0616] To implement this invention, it is necessary to build a system that securely manages the digital assets of a deceased person and allows authorized users to access that information. The system mainly consists of three components: a server, a terminal, and a user.

[0617] The server plays the role of securely storing and managing the deceased's electronic asset information. The server provides a secure environment for accessing asset information using data encryption technology. To protect this data, the server maintains secure communication using the SSL / TLS protocol.

[0618] The device performs authentication to ensure that only authorized users can access the system. The device uses biometric authentication technology (e.g., facial recognition or voiceprint recognition) to authenticate the user. If authentication is successful, the device sends a secure request to the server and retrieves the necessary digital asset information from the server.

[0619] Users can access the deceased's digital assets through their device only if they have given permission. This allows users to easily check asset information and streamline inheritance procedures. In particular, it includes a function that uses a voice generation module to provide users with voice guidance on the asset information they need.

[0620] As a concrete example, when a user speaks to the device and says, "Show me the previous owner's asset information," the device performs biometric authentication and the server returns information via voice, such as, "There is a deposit account at Bank X, and the current balance is Y yen." An example of a prompt message supporting this example would be, "You are the digital inheritance assistant. Once you are authenticated, we will securely retrieve the deceased's asset information from the server and display the necessary summary."

[0621] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 1 will be explained using Figure 12.

[0622] Step 1:

[0623] The terminal activates a biometric authentication sensor when a user attempts to access digital asset information. The sensor captures a facial image or voice as user input. Based on this input data, the terminal matches it against a pre-registered biometric database to obtain an authentication result. If authentication is successful, it generates a signal to proceed to the next step.

[0624] Step 2:

[0625] Upon successful authentication, the device sends an API request to the server via a secure communication channel. This request includes the user ID and the type of asset information requested. Based on the received request, the server queries the database for the deceased person's relevant asset information and extracts the data. The extracted data is encrypted and sent back to the device.

[0626] Step 3:

[0627] The terminal decrypts the received encrypted data and converts it into a format that the user can understand. This converted information is then converted into audio data by a speech synthesis module. A generative AI model is used for speech generation, and prompts are used to ensure smooth speech output. This audio data is then presented to the user.

[0628] Step 4:

[0629] The user receives voice information provided by the device. If the user requests additional information, they enter it again, and the process begins. If the user has finished confirming the information, the system ends the user's session, and the device enters a standby state.

[0630] Step 5:

[0631] The server securely logs user access history to maintain system security. Access history includes user ID, type of asset information accessed, and access timestamp. This provides records for future audits and troubleshooting.

[0632] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotions may be incorporated. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may use the emotion identification model 59 to estimate the user's emotions and perform identification processing using the user's emotions.

[0633] This invention provides a system that achieves a better user experience in the management and provision of electronic asset information by taking user emotions into consideration. This system comprises a server, a terminal, and an emotion engine.

[0634] The server manages the deceased's electronic asset information and implements appropriate access controls for authorized users. Asset information includes the name of the financial institution, the type of asset, and related basic information. The server organizes this information and prepares it for transmission to terminals as needed.

[0635] The terminal serves as the interface for users to access the system. Through this interface, the emotion engine collects data such as the user's facial expressions and voice, and recognizes the user's emotional state. This emotional information is sent to the server and referenced when providing information.

[0636] The emotion engine analyzes emotions in real time and instructs the server on how to present information to the user based on the results. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the timing of information presentation may be adjusted, or the information may be organized in a way that makes it easier to understand.

[0637] As a concrete example, when a user attempts to access a deceased person's asset information, the emotion engine reads the user's anxieties and provides feedback to the server, presenting the information in a reassuring communication style. This allows the user to proceed with inheritance procedures smoothly and reduces their emotional burden.

[0638] This system, by utilizing an emotion engine, goes beyond mere information provision to provide meticulous support that takes into account the user's emotions and circumstances. Therefore, it can provide an environment where users can manage and pass on the deceased's electronic assets with greater peace of mind and in an appropriate manner.

[0639] The following describes the processing flow.

[0640] Step 1:

[0641] The terminal provides an interface for the user to enter their account information. The user attempts to access the system by entering their authentication information.

[0642] Step 2:

[0643] Based on the authentication information received by the server, the user's authorization status is checked. If the user is determined to be an authorized user, the process proceeds to the next step.

[0644] Step 3:

[0645] The device activates an emotion engine to collect the user's emotional state. Sensors capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and this data is then analyzed.

[0646] Step 4:

[0647] The emotion engine analyzes the collected data to identify the user's current emotional state, which includes stress levels and anxiety levels.

[0648] Step 5:

[0649] The server receives the analysis results from the emotion engine and prepares to provide information in a format optimized for the user's emotional state. It adjusts the way information is presented and the content of that information according to the user's emotions.

[0650] Step 6:

[0651] The server selects the electronic asset information of the deceased person to provide to the user and transmits that information to the terminal. The information includes basic details such as what assets are held at which financial institutions.

[0652] Step 7:

[0653] The device presents information to the user in an emotionally sensitive manner. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, explanations are provided in simple language to reassure them.

[0654] Step 8:

[0655] The system proceeds with the necessary inheritance procedures based on the information provided by the user. The information provided by the system supports the user in properly inheriting the deceased's assets.

[0656] (Example 2)

[0657] Next, we will describe Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".

[0658] In modern times, access control and authentication for users are increasingly important when handling the electronic assets of deceased individuals. However, if the asset information provided is uniform, it can lead to stress and confusion due to the disregard for users' feelings and psychological state. In addition, conventional systems have the challenge of not being able to provide flexible information that responds to users' emotions, making it difficult to provide a better user experience.

[0659] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0660] In this invention, the server includes means for controlling access by authorized users, means for managing the electronic asset information of a deceased person, means for providing users with specific information about the electronic assets, means for detecting the emotional state of the user, and means for adjusting the information provision method based on the detected emotional state. This enables flexible and reassuring information provision that takes the user's emotions into consideration.

[0661] An "authorized user" is a person or organization that has the authority to access specific resources or information through a predetermined authentication process within the system.

[0662] "Means of access control" refer to methods and technologies for managing users' access rights, ensuring that only authorized users can access specific information or resources.

[0663] "Deceased person's electronic asset information" refers to financial, contractual, or other valuable information related to the deceased person that is stored as digital data.

[0664] "Means of providing specific information to users" refers to methods and technologies for organizing managed information and presenting it to users in an appropriate and easily understandable format.

[0665] "Means for detecting a user's emotional state" refers to technologies and methods for analyzing a user's facial expressions, voice, and other emotional indicators to understand their emotions at any given time.

[0666] "Means for adjusting the method of information delivery based on detected emotional states" refers to technologies and methods that adapt and change the way information is displayed in order to present information at an appropriate time and in an appropriate format, based on the emotional state of the user.

[0667] This system includes a server, terminals, and an emotion engine for managing the electronic asset information of the deceased. Specific embodiments of each component of the system are described below.

[0668] Server configuration and operation:

[0669] The server uses a database to control access by authorized users and securely manages the deceased's electronic asset information. The server is typically built on the cloud, specifically utilizing commercially available cloud platforms (e.g., services from major cloud providers). The server communicates with terminals via a RESTful API and provides information in response to user requests. Based on instructions from the emotion engine, the server provides information adapted to the user's emotional state.

[0670] Terminal configuration and operation:

[0671] The terminal provides an interface for the user to access the system. The terminal is responsible for collecting the user's facial expressions and voice using a camera and microphone, and transmitting this data to the emotion engine. The hardware used by the terminal is a typical smart device (e.g., smartphone, tablet). The terminal's software provides the user interface, receives user input, and generates requests to the server.

[0672] The structure and operation of the emotion engine:

[0673] The emotion engine uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's emotional state. Specifically, it can use open-source emotion recognition models (e.g., commonly available emotion analysis libraries). The emotion engine receives data sent from the device and recognizes the emotional state (e.g., joy, anxiety, surprise, etc.) in real time. Based on the recognized emotional state, it instructs the server on how to present the information.

[0674] Examples of specific cases and prompt statements:

[0675] For example, when a user tries to check information about a deceased person's bank account, the device's camera detects subtle changes in the user's facial expression, and the emotion engine identifies anxiety. In this case, the emotion engine instructs the server to add a message to the information display screen that reads, "Don't worry, we have support available for the procedure."

[0676] Example of a prompt:

[0677] "If a user is attempting to access a deceased person's asset information and the emotion engine detects anxiety, how will the information be presented?"

[0678] This system configuration allows users to access information in an emotionally sensitive manner, thereby reducing stress and enabling smoother information acquisition.

[0679] The flow of the specific processing in Example 2 will be explained using Figure 13.

[0680] Step 1:

[0681] The user logs into the terminal to access the system. They enter their ID and password on the login screen, and this information is sent to the server by the terminal. The server verifies the entered authentication information against the database, and if authentication is successful, opens a session and grants the user access. The input is the user's ID and password, and the output is the authentication success or failure status.

[0682] Step 2:

[0683] The user requests the retrieval of the deceased person's electronic asset information on their terminal. This request, which includes the type and details of the asset to be retrieved, is sent from the terminal to the server. The server receives the request and extracts the relevant electronic asset information from its database. The input is the asset information request specified by the user, and the output is the requested asset information data.

[0684] Step 3:

[0685] The device uses a camera and microphone to collect facial and voice data in order to detect the user's emotional state in real time. This data is sent to an emotion engine. The input is the user's facial and voice data, and the output is the result of the emotion analysis.

[0686] Step 4:

[0687] The emotion engine analyzes received facial and voice data to identify the user's emotional state. It uses a generative AI model to perform data calculations and detect specific emotions (e.g., relief, anxiety, joy). The input is data for emotion analysis, and the output is the identified emotional state.

[0688] Step 5:

[0689] The server receives emotional information from the emotion engine and determines the style of information delivery based on it. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the server will organize the information concisely to provide reassurance and send it to the terminal. The input is the user's emotional state and asset information, and the output is a tailored information delivery message.

[0690] Step 6:

[0691] The terminal presents electronic asset information to the user in accordance with information display instructions received from the server. In doing so, it utilizes display methods that take the user's emotional state into consideration (e.g., voice guidance and visual support). The input is information display instructions from the server, and the output is an information display presented in a way that is easy for the user to understand.

[0692] (Application Example 2)

[0693] Next, we will explain application example 2. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".

[0694] In modern information technology, there is a need to properly manage the electronic asset information of deceased individuals while reducing the emotional burden on users when accessing that information. However, conventional systems present information uniformly without considering the user's emotional state, which can cause anxiety and stress when accessing information about the deceased. This situation hinders the smooth progress of inheritance procedures and places an excessive mental burden on users. Therefore, there is a need to develop a system that analyzes the emotional state of users and optimizes the information presentation.

[0695] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0696] In this invention, the server includes means for controlling access by authorized users, means for managing the electronic asset information of the deceased, means for providing users with specific information about the electronic assets, and means for analyzing the emotional state of the user and adjusting the method of presenting the information. This makes it possible for users to access the electronic asset information of the deceased smoothly while reducing their emotional burden.

[0697] An "authorized user" is a user who has received formal authorization to access the target system.

[0698] "Access control" is a management method that ensures that only authorized users can access electronic asset information.

[0699] "Electronic asset information of the deceased" refers to digital asset information related to the deceased, including basic information such as the name of the financial institution and the type of asset.

[0700] "Means for analyzing emotional states" refers to a device or software that has the ability to appropriately adjust the method of information presentation by evaluating emotions in real time based on the user's facial expressions and voice data.

[0701] "Adjusting the presentation method of information" means changing the format and order of information displayed according to the user's emotional state, in order to make it easier for the user to understand and to give them a sense of security.

[0702] The system based on this application example mainly consists of a server, terminals, and an emotion engine. The server is responsible for managing the deceased's electronic asset information and providing appropriate access control to users. This information management includes financial institution names, asset types, and basic asset information. The server centrally manages this information and prepares it for users to access appropriately.

[0703] The terminal is the device that the user uses to interface with this system. Smartphones, tablets, or personal computers can be used. The emotion engine is installed on this terminal and acquires the user's facial expressions and voice data, performing real-time emotion analysis. This allows the system to evaluate the emotional state of deceased individuals when the user accesses their asset information.

[0704] The emotion engine is implemented using a virtual emotion analysis library and collects data using the device's camera and microphone. The emotion analysis results are sent to a server, and the way information is presented is adjusted accordingly. For example, if the analysis indicates that the user is feeling anxious, the server receives this information and makes adjustments to reduce stress. Specifically, it provides screen displays with calming colors and soothing voice guidance to enhance the user's sense of security.

[0705] For example, if the emotion engine detects anxiety when a user attempts a large purchase, the server will send an additional confirmation message, giving the user an opportunity to reconfirm the details of the payment process. Through this process, the transaction proceeds smoothly while reducing the user's anxiety.

[0706] An example of a prompt message would be: "When a user is attempting to make a purchase, analyze their emotions from data collected via camera and microphone. If they are experiencing anxiety or stress, advise on how to adjust the interface to provide reassurance." This prompt would then automatically suggest the optimal information presentation method using a generative AI model.

[0707] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.

[0708] Step 1:

[0709] When the device is activated, the emotion engine uses the device's camera and microphone to collect the user's facial expressions and voice data. This becomes the input data. Based on this input data, the emotion engine applies a real-time emotion analysis algorithm to quantify and output the user's current emotional state.

[0710] Step 2:

[0711] The terminal sends the output of the emotion engine to the server. The server receives this emotional state data and evaluates whether the user is experiencing anxiety or stress. In this process, a specific threshold based on the emotional state is used for evaluation, and the server determines how to present information to reduce stress based on the results.

[0712] Step 3:

[0713] The server collects the deceased's electronic asset information and adjusts the information presentation method according to the assessed emotional state. For example, if the user is experiencing stress, the information is presented in a summarized, concise format using a calming color scheme interface. This adjusted information is then transmitted from the server to the terminal.

[0714] Step 4:

[0715] When a user receives information that has been adjusted on their device, the device displays it on the screen via its interface. Simultaneously, visual and audio guidance designed to provide reassurance is also presented, based on instructions from the server. This output streamlines the user's experience accessing their digital asset information and reduces emotional burden.

[0716] Step 5:

[0717] In response to user actions, the system uses a generated AI model to suggest the next action. Using prompts, it generates guidance on what the user should do next and provides further information if needed. The device then displays an interface that prompts the user for further options and actions based on these AI suggestions.

[0718] 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.

[0719] Data generation model 58 is a type of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). One example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include the following. 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. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0720] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and the specific processing may also be performed by the robot 414.

[0721] 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.

[0722] Figure 9 shows an 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.

[0723] 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.

[0724] 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.

[0725] 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, motorcycles, etc., 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, for example, based 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.

[0726] 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."

[0727] 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.

[0728] The above description primarily focuses on the functions of the data processing device 12 in relation to this disclosure. However, the system related to this disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system related to this disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. This disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program that runs on a personal computer or as an application that runs on a smartphone. The method related to this disclosure may be provided to users in SaaS (Software as a Service) format.

[0729] 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 of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers, including computer 22. For example, a data generation model 58 may be provided in an external device of the data processing device 12, and the external device may generate data according to the input data.

[0730] 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.

[0731] 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.

[0732] 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.

[0733] 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.

[0734] 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.

[0735] 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.

[0736] 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.

[0737] 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 the like 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.
