[0042] It accepts user operations and sends the selected information to the server.

[0043] 3. Users

[0044] By operating the terminal, users select the historical event or scientific phenomenon they would like to virtually travel through.

[0045] Wearing a head-mounted display, participants visually experience a virtual site and central area.

[0046] Interact with an AI chatbot that acts as your guide and receives detailed explanations.

[0047] The above is an example of an embodiment of the present invention. The server acquires and converts video data and provides an AI chatbot, the terminal receives and displays the video data, and the user selects and experiences information and interacts with the AI ​​chatbot. This allows the user to take a virtual trip and gain a deeper understanding of historical events and scientific phenomena.

[0048] The process flow will be explained below.

[0049] Step 1: The server acquires and converts the video data.

[0050] The server retrieves video data related to historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user.

[0051] The acquired video data is extracted from a database in the server.

[0052] The server converts the captured video data to match the user's viewpoint, allowing the user to visually experience a virtual site or center.

[0053] Step 2: The device receives and displays the video data

[0054] The terminal receives the video data transmitted from the server.

[0055] The received video data is displayed on a head-mounted display inside the terminal.

[0056] Users can wear a head-mounted display and visually experience a virtual site or central area.

[0057] Step 3: User makes information selections and experiences

[0058] Users operate the terminal to select the historical event or scientific phenomenon about which they would like to take a virtual journey.

[0059] The selected information is transmitted from the terminal to the server.

[0060] Based on the user's selection, the server retrieves the relevant video data, converts it and sends it to the terminal.

[0061] Step 4: User interacts with AI chatbot and receives detailed instructions

[0062] Users interact with the AI ​​chatbot through a head-mounted display.

[0063] The AI ​​chatbot provides users with detailed explanations of selected historical events or scientific phenomena.

[0065] This is the flow of the program's processing. The server acquires and converts the video data, and the terminal receives and displays the video data. The user can select and experience information, and receive detailed explanations through dialogue with the AI ​​chatbot.

[0066] Example 1

[0067] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 is referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 is referred to as a "terminal."

[0068] Currently, there are only a limited number of systems that allow users to visually experience historical events or scientific phenomena, making it difficult for users to gain a deep understanding. In addition, existing systems are unable to convert in real time to match the user's perspective, which results in a lack of immersion. Furthermore, there are insufficient guides to provide detailed information, and information supplementation is not adequate.

[0069] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0070] In this invention, the server includes a means for constructing a database for acquiring video data, a means for extracting video data based on a specific event or phenomenon selected by the user, a means for converting the extracted video data to match the user's viewpoint and displaying it, and a means for interacting with an AI chatbot as a guide that provides detailed explanations to the user based on a request provided by the user, thereby enabling the user to gain a deeper understanding of historical events and scientific phenomena through a highly immersive virtual journey.

[0071] A "database" is a collection of data in which information is systematically collected, stored, and made available for rapid retrieval.

[0072] "Video data" is digital or analog data that contains visual information, and is content that includes moving images and still images.

[0073] "Transformation to fit the viewpoint" refers to the process of adjusting the original video data according to the user's field of view and visual needs, and displaying it appropriately.

[0074] An "AI chatbot as a guide" is an automated dialogue system that uses artificial intelligence to provide appropriate information in response to user questions.

[0075] A "visual display device" is a device that allows a user to visually experience video data, and primarily refers to a head-mounted display or a monitor.

[0076] "Additional information" is supplemental information about the event or phenomenon the user is experiencing, including detailed explanations and background knowledge.

[0077] A "request" refers to the act of a user sending a specific request or instruction to the system.

[0078] The embodiment for implementing the present invention includes the following elements.

[0079] 1. Server configuration and roles:

[0080] The server builds a database to acquire and store video data related to historical events and scientific phenomena. Specifically, the server manages a huge amount of video content and extracts relevant video data based on a specific event or phenomenon selected by the user. For example, the database can include "video of pyramid construction in ancient Egypt" and "video on the development of scientific theories." Furthermore, the server converts the extracted video data to match the user's viewpoint. This conversion is intended to enable the user to view the video from a 360-degree viewpoint. The server also provides an AI chatbot as a guide, providing detailed explanations for requests provided by the user.

[0081] 2. Terminal configuration and roles:

[0082] The terminal receives video data from the server based on historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user. The received video data is displayed on a visual display device (e.g., a head-mounted display). A specific example is a device such as a VR headset. The terminal accepts user operations and transmits the operation contents to the server. For example, if the user requests to zoom in on a particular scene or to know more about a particular object, the request is transmitted to the server.

[0083] 3. User interaction and experience:

[0084] Users can operate the device to experience a virtual journey. For example, a user can select a specific historical event or scientific phenomenon, such as "the discovery of Machu Picchu" or "scientific experiment in a laboratory." After that, the user puts on the head-mounted display and visually experiences the selected scene from a 360-degree perspective. Furthermore, if the user wants to know more information, they can interact with an AI chatbot that acts as a guide. For example, if the user asks, "What were the most commonly sold products in this ancient market?", the AI ​​chatbot will answer, "Grains and olive oil were commonly traded."

[0085] Examples:

[0086] As a concrete example, consider the case where the user selects "Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle." In this case, the user receives the video data from the server through the terminal and it is displayed on the head-mounted display. When the user asks a question about the plants and animals discovered during Darwin's voyage, the AI ​​chatbot will explain the details.

[0087] Examples of prompts for a generative AI model include:

[0088] "What were the most commonly sold items in ancient Roman markets?"

[0089] "I would like to know more about what Darwin discovered on his Beagle voyage."

[0090] "I want to see an episode about the discovery of the theory of relativity."

[0091] This allows users to take a virtual journey and gain a deeper understanding of historical events or scientific phenomena.

[0135] Step 7:

[0136] Receiving user operations (terminal)

[0137] The terminal receives user operations and requests.

[0138] Input: Actions taken by the user or additional requests.

[0139] Data processing: Analyzes operation and request data and sends it to the server.

[0140] Output: Parsed operation and request data.

[0141] Specific operation: When a user makes a request such as "I would like to take a closer look at Darwin's notes," the request is sent to the server via the terminal.

[0142] Step 8:

[0143] Interaction with AI chatbot (server, user)

[0144] Based on the user's request, the server launches an AI chatbot to act as a guide and engages in a conversation.

[0145] Input: The request made by the user.

[0146] Data processing: The AI ​​chatbot retrieves information corresponding to the request and provides the user with an appropriate answer.

[0147] Output: A detailed description provided to the user.

[0148] What it does: When a user asks, "What's in Darwin's notebooks?" the AI ​​chatbot responds, "These contain Darwin's early thoughts on evolution."

[0149] (Application example 1)

[0214] Output: Answers and explanations from the AI ​​chatbot

[0215] How it works: During the experience, users input questions via voice or text, and the AI ​​chatbot provides information in response to those questions in real time.

[0216] Step 7:

[0217] The AI ​​chatbot provides detailed explanations to the user based on the database.

[0218] Input: User questions, database information

[0219] Output: Detailed explanation from the AI ​​chatbot

[0220] Specific operation: The AI ​​chatbot analyzes the user's question, retrieves relevant information from the database, and provides the user with appropriate explanations.

[0221] Through these steps, users can experience historical events and scientific phenomena in an immersive way within a physical store and receive detailed explanations.

[0222] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the emotion of the user may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the emotion of the user using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the emotion of the user.

[0223] An embodiment for implementing the present invention includes the following elements.

[0224] 1. Server

[0225] Build an emotion engine to recognize user emotions.

[0226] Based on the user's selection, relevant video data is extracted and transformed to suit the user's perspective.

[0227] It provides an AI chatbot that acts as a guide and provides detailed explanations to users.

[0228] The system will incorporate a means to recognize the user's emotions and customize the images and explanations accordingly.

[0229] It is equipped with sensors and cameras to recognize the user's emotions.

[0230] The user's selection is transmitted to the server and related video data is received.

[0231] The received video data is displayed on a head-mounted display.

[0233] 3. Users

[0234] By operating the terminal, users select the historical event or scientific phenomenon they would like to virtually travel through.

[0235] Wearing a head-mounted display, participants visually experience a virtual site and central area.

[0236] Interact with an AI chatbot that acts as your guide and receives detailed explanations.

[0237] The system recognizes the user's emotions through sensors and cameras and customizes the images and explanations accordingly.

[0238] The above is an example of an embodiment of the present invention. The server provides the emotion engine construction and customization function, the terminal recognizes emotions and displays images, and the user selects and experiences information and interacts with the AI ​​chatbot. This makes it possible to provide a travel experience customized to the user's emotions.

[0239] The process flow will be explained below.

[0240] Step 1: The server customizes the video data incorporating the emotion engine.

[0241] The server builds an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotion.

[0242] Based on the user's selection, relevant video data is extracted and transformed to suit the user's perspective.

The user can enjoy a customized experience and receive detailed explanations through dialogue with the AI ​​chatbot.

[0255] Example 2

[0256] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 is referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 is referred to as a "terminal."

[0257] Current virtual reality systems can provide video data on historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user, but they lack the ability to dynamically adjust the video and explanation according to the user's emotions, making the experience uniform for each individual user and making true customization difficult. In addition, even if an AI chatbot provides an interactive explanation, the content is fixed and cannot immediately respond to the user's interests and emotions. For this reason, it is necessary to provide a highly personalized virtual travel experience that corresponds to the individual emotions and interests of each user.

[0258] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0259] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring video data related to a historical event or a scientific phenomenon selected by a user, a means for converting the acquired video data to match the user's viewpoint and displaying it, a means for customizing the video data using an emotion engine for recognizing the user's emotions, a means for interacting with an AI chatbot that acts as a guide and provides the user with a detailed explanation of the selected historical event or scientific phenomenon, and a means for dynamically adjusting the video data and the explanation content according to changes in the user's emotions. This enables a highly customized virtual travel experience according to the user's emotions and interests.

[0260] "Video Data" is digital data containing visual information related to a historical event or scientific phenomenon selected by a user.

[0261] An "emotion engine" is a software or hardware function for recognizing a user's emotional state by analyzing the user's facial expressions and behavior.

[0262] "Transforming to fit the user's perspective" means adjusting visual information in real time to accommodate the user's perspective and movements as they experience the site or center.

[0263] An "AI chatbot" is a program that uses artificial intelligence to converse with users in natural language and act as a virtual guide, providing specific information and detailed explanations.

[0264] "Dynamic adjustment" refers to the process of instantly changing or adapting video data and narrative content based on the user's real-time emotions and reactions.

[0265] A "head-mounted display" is a device worn by a user to visually experience virtual reality environments and images.

[0266] "Database" means a collection of information that effectively stores and manages additional information related to a historical event or scientific phenomenon selected by a User.

[0267] "Customization" means tailoring and modifying the experience and information provided to suit a user's specific needs and circumstances, based on their individual feelings and interests.

[0268] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0269] The present invention relates to a system for providing a virtual travel experience customized according to a user's emotions. A specific embodiment of the system will be described below.

[0270] 1. Hardware and Software Used

[0271] In this system, a server, a terminal, and a user each play a role. The server is a computer system that includes an emotion engine, a database, and an AI chatbot. The terminal is a device equipped with sensors, a camera, and a head-mounted display to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine uses a general emotion analysis API (e.g., a natural language processing engine), and the AI ​​chatbot uses a general generative AI model (e.g., a natural language generation model).

[0272] Specific hardware examples include a "depth camera" for emotion recognition and "VR goggles" for the head-mounted display. The server is operated on a "cloud computing platform" and data storage uses a "cloud storage service." Specific software examples include a "natural language processing API" for the emotion engine and a "natural language generation API" for the generative AI model.

[0273] 2. Program Processing

[0274] The server retrieves video data related to historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user from the cloud storage. It uses a 3D engine (e.g., a graphics engine) to transform the video data to fit the user's viewpoint. The server then uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and customizes the video data based on the analysis results.

[0275] For example, if a user selects "Age of Dinosaurs," and the server determines the user's emotion as "joy" using the emotion engine, the video will be centered around playful scenes of dinosaurs.

[0276] Meanwhile, the device is equipped with sensors and cameras to recognize the user's emotions in real time. The device decodes the video data received from the server and displays it on the user's head-mounted display. While the user is experiencing the virtual space, the device continuously transmits emotional data to the server, and the server dynamically adjusts the video and explanations based on this data.

[0277] Moreover, the AI ​​chatbot acts as a guide, providing detailed descriptions: when the user asks, "What is this?", the chatbot responds, "This dinosaur was a Tyrannosaurus, and it mainly ate meat."

[0278] Examples

[0279] The user selects "Dinosaur Era." The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and determines that the user is "excited." Based on this, the server retrieves a dynamic dinosaur scene and places it in 3D space. The device displays this video data on a head-mounted display, and the user is immersed in the world of dinosaurs in real time. Furthermore, depending on the user's excitement, further interactive scenes are pushed from the server.

[0280] Examples of prompt statements

[0281] "Provide action-packed footage from the age of dinosaurs for your excited users."

[0282] The system enables a highly customized virtual travel experience based on the user's emotions and interests.

[0283] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0284] Step 1:

[0285] The user selects a virtual travel theme on the terminal.

[0286] As a specific operation, the user operates the terminal interface and selects "Dinosaur Age."

[0287] Input: User's theme selection (e.g. "Age of Dinosaurs")

[0288] Output: The selected theme ID.

[0289] Step 2:

[0290] The terminal sends the user's request to the server.

[0291] A request data with the selected theme ID is created and sent to the server via Wi-Fi.

[0292] Input: Selected Theme ID (e.g. "Age of Dinosaurs")

[0293] Output: A request containing theme selection information.

[0294] Step 3:

[0295] The server acquires emotion data for recognizing the user's emotion.

[0296] Emotion data sent from the device is received and analyzed by the emotion engine.

[0297] Input: Emotion data sent from the device

[0298] Output: Analyzed emotion information (e.g. "joy")

[0299] Step 4:

[0300] The server extracts the relevant video data and transforms it to suit the user's perspective.

[0301] Video data related to the "Dinosaur Age" is retrieved from cloud storage and converted to fit the user's perspective using the Unity (registered trademark) 3D engine.

[0302] Input: Theme selection information, analyzed emotion information

[0303] Output: Converted video data

[0304] Step 5:

[0305] The server transmits the converted video data to the terminal.

[0306] Using streaming technology, the converted video data is transferred to the terminal in real time.

[0307] Input: Converted video data

[0308] Output: Video data sent to the device

[0309] Step 6:

[0310] The terminal displays the video data on a head-mounted display.

[0311] The received video data is decoded and displayed on a head-mounted display, allowing the user to experience a virtual journey.

[0312] Input: Received video data

[0313] Output: Image displayed on a head-mounted display

[0314] Step 7:

[0315] The terminal continuously transmits the user's emotion data to the server.

[0316] The data obtained from the emotion sensor is continuously sent to the server in real time.

[0317] Input: Real-time emotion data

[0318] Output: Continuous emotion data sent to the server.

[0319] Step 8:

[0320] The server provides detailed instructions to the user through an AI chatbot.

[0321] Depending on the user's movements and questions, the AI ​​chatbot will provide detailed explanations, for example, "This dinosaur is a Tyrannosaurus."

[0322] Input: User questions, real-time sentiment data

[0323] Output: Detailed explanation by AI chatbot

[0324] Step 9:

[0325] The server customizes images and explanations in real time according to the user's emotions.

[0326] Based on the analyzed emotion information, the video and explanation are dynamically adjusted. For example, if the user feels "surprise", an interesting additional scene is provided.

[0327] Input: Continuous emotion data, current video and description information

[0328] Output: Real-time customized video and explanations

[0329] This provides a highly customized virtual travel experience that responds to the user's emotions and interests.

[0330] (Application example 2)

[0331] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0332] In modern factories, the emotions and stress levels of workers often have a significant impact on work efficiency and quality. However, conventional factory robots and management systems operate at a uniform work speed and in a uniform manner without taking into account the emotional state of workers, which causes problems of increased stress and fatigue among workers. Furthermore, since they do not respond to the individual conditions of workers, it is difficult to maximize the overall work efficiency and quality. Similarly, there has been a lack of technology that recognizes emotions and stress levels in real time and automatically adjusts based on them. To solve these issues, there is a demand for a system that recognizes the user's emotions in real time and automatically adjusts work based on them.

[0333] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0334] In this invention, the server includes a means for recognizing the user's emotions, a means for acquiring related video data based on information selected by the user, and a means for converting and displaying the acquired video data in accordance with the user's viewpoint, thereby making it possible to provide a customized experience and adjust the working environment according to the user's emotions.

[0335] A "user" is a person who interacts with the system and provides affective states and selections.

[0336] The "emotion engine" is a mechanism that analyzes data obtained from external sensors and cameras and recognizes the user's emotional state.

[0337] "Video data" is visual information about historical events or scientific phenomena, and is digital content provided to users.

[0338] An "AI chatbot" is an artificial intelligence-based dialogue system that interacts with users and provides detailed explanations and follow-ups.

[0339] A "head-mounted display" is a display device that is worn by a user to visually experience real-world events or scientific phenomena.

[0340] "Robot control means" refers to a control mechanism for automatically adjusting the speed and method of work based on the user's emotional state.

[0341] A "database" is an information management system that accumulates information about historical events and scientific phenomena and provides it to users.

[0342] A "sensor" is a hardware device for detecting a user's emotional state.

[0343] A "camera" is a photographing device for capturing the user's facial expressions and movements.

[0344] "Work speed" is the speed at which the robot progresses through a task, and is adjusted based on the user's emotional state.

[0345] In order to implement this invention, the server, the terminal, and the user each play their respective roles, thereby realizing a customized experience and adjustment of the working environment according to the user's emotions.

[0346] The server builds an emotion engine and provides a function to recognize the user's emotions. Specifically, the server analyzes data acquired from external sensors and cameras, and determines the user's emotional state based on the user's facial expressions and heart rate. Based on the acquired emotion data, the server customizes the user's experience and tasks in real time.

[0347] The device is equipped with sensors and cameras to recognize the user's emotions and transmits the acquired emotional data to a server. It also receives related video data based on the information selected by the user and displays it on the head-mounted display. This allows the user to visually experience historical events and scientific phenomena. In addition, the device interacts with an AI chatbot to provide detailed explanations.

[0348] As a concrete example, consider a case where a worker on a packaging line in a factory suddenly becomes stressed. In this case, the server recognizes the worker's emotions based on data acquired from cameras and vital sensors, and automatically adjusts the robot's work speed. In addition, an AI chatbot will speak to the worker at appropriate times, encouraging them to "slow down your work pace" and refresh themselves. Conversely, if the worker is relaxed, they will continue working at their normal speed.

[0349] The hardware used is a webcam and vital sensors (to monitor heart rate and sweat gland activity), while the software uses an image processing library, emotion recognition API, and interpretive programming language, etc. This makes it possible to analyze the user's emotions in real time and provide a customized experience and work environment based on that.

[0350] An example of a prompt would be:

[0351] Please explain a system that recognizes the emotional state (stress, relaxation, etc.) of workers on a packaging line in a factory in real time and automatically adjusts the speed and method of a robot's work based on that information. Also, please describe in detail the role of an AI chatbot that interacts with the workers.

[0352] This allows for a customized experience and adjustment of the working environment according to the user's emotional state.

[0353] The flow of the specific process in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0354] Step 1:

[0355] Terminal (user operation)

[0356] The terminal activates the camera and vital sensors when the worker starts working. The camera captures the worker's face, and the vital sensors monitor the heart rate and sweat gland activity. This allows data related to the user's (worker's) emotional state to be obtained. The input is the captured image data and vital data, and the output is processed data to be passed to the emotion recognition model.

[0357] Step 2:

[0358] Terminal (data transmission)

[0359] The device transmits the acquired emotion data to the server in real time. The transmitted data includes captured image data and vital data. The input is the data collected from the user, and the output is a data stream transmitted to the server. The data is converted into an appropriate format for analysis on the server side.

[0360] Step 3:

[0361] Server (emotion recognition)

[0362] The server analyzes the received data and recognizes the user's emotional state using an emotion engine. Specifically, it extracts emotions from image data using image processing libraries and emotion recognition APIs, and integrates vital data. The input is the transmitted data stream, and the output is the judgment result of the emotional state. The server does this in real time.

[0363] Step 4:

[0364] Server (Emotion-based customization)

[0365] The server determines the necessary work adjustments based on the emotion recognition results. For example, if it is determined that the worker is stressed, it processes the work robot to slow down. The input is the emotion recognition result, and the output is a control command for the work robot. This control command is sent to the robot control system.

[0366] Step 5:

[0367] Terminal (Interaction with AI chatbot)

[0368] The AI ​​chatbot on the device provides feedback according to the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the AI ​​chatbot will say, "It's okay to slow down your work pace." The input is the emotion recognition result, and the output is the content of the chatbot's dialogue. This allows the user to receive psychological support.

[0369] Step 6:

[0370] User (feedback on experience)

[0371] The user (worker) takes actions such as adjusting the work pace or taking a break based on the feedback from the AI ​​chatbot. Based on this feedback, the user selects an action that will improve their emotional state. The input is the feedback from the chatbot, and the output is the user's behavior change.

[0372] Through these steps, a customized experience and adjustments to the working environment can be made in real time based on the user's emotional state.

[0373] 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 a voice indicating a user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the voice data indicating the 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 voice data.

[0374] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the 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">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by making a neural network perform deep learning. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating a voice, text data indicating a text, and image data indicating an image is input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data according to the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0375] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific process was performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific process may be performed by the smart device 14.

[0421] Example 1

[0422] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. 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".

[0423] Currently, there are only a limited number of systems that allow users to visually experience historical events or scientific phenomena, making it difficult for users to gain a deep understanding. In addition, existing systems are unable to convert in real time to match the user's perspective, which results in a lack of immersion. Furthermore, there are insufficient guides to provide detailed information, and information supplementation is not adequate.

[0424] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0425] In this invention, the server includes a means for constructing a database for acquiring video data, a means for extracting video data based on a specific event or phenomenon selected by the user, a means for converting the extracted video data to match the user's viewpoint and displaying it, and a means for interacting with an AI chatbot as a guide that provides detailed explanations to the user based on a request provided by the user, thereby enabling the user to gain a deeper understanding of historical events and scientific phenomena through a highly immersive virtual journey.

[0426] A "database" is a collection of data in which information is systematically collected, stored, and made available for rapid retrieval.

[0427] "Video data" is digital or analog data that contains visual information, and is content that includes moving images and still images.

[0428] "Transformation to fit the viewpoint" refers to the process of adjusting the original video data according to the user's field of view and visual needs, and displaying it appropriately.

[0429] An "AI chatbot as a guide" is an automated dialogue system that uses artificial intelligence to provide appropriate information in response to user questions.

[0430] A "visual display device" is a device that allows a user to visually experience video data, and primarily refers to a head-mounted display or a monitor.

[0431] "Additional information" is supplemental information about the event or phenomenon the user is experiencing, including detailed explanations and background knowledge.

[0432] A "request" refers to the act of a user sending a specific request or instruction to the system.

[0433] The embodiment for implementing the present invention includes the following elements.

[0434] 1. Server configuration and roles:

[0435] The server builds a database to acquire and store video data related to historical events and scientific phenomena. Specifically, the server manages a huge amount of video content and extracts relevant video data based on a specific event or phenomenon selected by the user. For example, the database can include "video of pyramid construction in ancient Egypt" and "video on the development of scientific theories." Furthermore, the server converts the extracted video data to match the user's viewpoint. This conversion is intended to enable the user to view the video from a 360-degree viewpoint. The server also provides an AI chatbot as a guide, providing detailed explanations for requests provided by the user.

[0436] 2. Terminal configuration and roles:

[0437] The terminal receives video data from the server based on historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user. The received video data is displayed on a visual display device (e.g., a head-mounted display). A specific example is a device such as a VR headset. The terminal accepts user operations and transmits the operation contents to the server. For example, if the user requests to zoom in on a particular scene or to know more about a particular object, the request is transmitted to the server.

[0438] 3. User interaction and experience:

[0439] Users can operate the device to experience a virtual journey. For example, a user can select a specific historical event or scientific phenomenon, such as "the discovery of Machu Picchu" or "scientific experiment in a laboratory." After that, the user puts on the head-mounted display and visually experiences the selected scene from a 360-degree perspective. Furthermore, if the user wants to know more information, they can interact with an AI chatbot that acts as a guide. For example, if the user asks, "What were the most commonly sold products in this ancient market?", the AI ​​chatbot will answer, "Grains and olive oil were commonly traded."

[0440] Examples:

[0441] As a concrete example, consider the case where the user selects "Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle." In this case, the user receives the video data from the server through the terminal and it is displayed on the head-mounted display. When the user asks a question about the plants and animals discovered during Darwin's voyage, the AI ​​chatbot will explain the details.

[0442] Examples of prompts for a generative AI model include:

[0443] "What were the most commonly sold items in ancient Roman markets?"

[0444] "I would like to know more about what Darwin discovered on his Beagle voyage."

[0445] "I want to see an episode about the discovery of the theory of relativity."

[0446] This allows users to take a virtual journey and gain a deeper understanding of historical events or scientific phenomena.

[0612] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. 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".

[0613] Current virtual reality systems can provide video data on historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user, but they lack the ability to dynamically adjust the video and explanation according to the user's emotions, making the experience uniform for each individual user and making true customization difficult. In addition, even if an AI chatbot provides an interactive explanation, the content is fixed and cannot immediately respond to the user's interests and emotions. For this reason, it is necessary to provide a highly personalized virtual travel experience that corresponds to the individual emotions and interests of each user.

[0614] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0615] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring video data related to a historical event or a scientific phenomenon selected by a user, a means for converting the acquired video data to match the user's viewpoint and displaying it, a means for customizing the video data using an emotion engine for recognizing the user's emotions, a means for interacting with an AI chatbot that acts as a guide and provides the user with a detailed explanation of the selected historical event or scientific phenomenon, and a means for dynamically adjusting the video data and the explanation content according to changes in the user's emotions. This enables a highly customized virtual travel experience according to the user's emotions and interests.

[0616] "Video Data" is digital data containing visual information related to a historical event or scientific phenomenon selected by a user.

[0617] An "emotion engine" is a software or hardware function for recognizing a user's emotional state by analyzing the user's facial expressions and behavior.

[0618] "Transforming to fit the user's perspective" means adjusting visual information in real time to accommodate the user's perspective and movements as they experience the site or center.

[0619] An "AI chatbot" is a program that uses artificial intelligence to converse with users in natural language and act as a virtual guide, providing specific information and detailed explanations.

[0620] "Dynamic adjustment" refers to the process of instantly changing or adapting video data and narrative content based on the user's real-time emotions and reactions.

[0621] A "head-mounted display" is a device worn by a user to visually experience virtual reality environments and images.

[0622] "Database" means a collection of information that effectively stores and manages additional information related to a historical event or scientific phenomenon selected by a User.

[0623] "Customization" means tailoring and modifying the experience and information provided to suit a user's specific needs and circumstances, based on their individual feelings and interests.

[0624] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0625] The present invention relates to a system for providing a virtual travel experience customized according to a user's emotions. A specific embodiment of the system will be described below.

[0626] 1. Hardware and Software Used

[0627] In this system, a server, a terminal, and a user each play a role. The server is a computer system that includes an emotion engine, a database, and an AI chatbot. The terminal is a device equipped with sensors, a camera, and a head-mounted display to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine uses a general emotion analysis API (e.g., a natural language processing engine), and the AI ​​chatbot uses a general generative AI model (e.g., a natural language generation model).

[0628] Specific hardware examples include a "depth camera" for emotion recognition and "VR goggles" for the head-mounted display. The server is operated on a "cloud computing platform" and data storage uses a "cloud storage service." Specific software examples include a "natural language processing API" for the emotion engine and a "natural language generation API" for the generative AI model.

[0629] 2. Program Processing

[0630] The server retrieves video data related to historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user from the cloud storage. It uses a 3D engine (e.g., a graphics engine) to transform the video data to fit the user's viewpoint. The server then uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and customizes the video data based on the analysis results.

[0631] For example, if a user selects "Age of Dinosaurs," and the server determines the user's emotion as "joy" using the emotion engine, the video will be centered around playful scenes of dinosaurs.

[0632] Meanwhile, the device is equipped with sensors and cameras to recognize the user's emotions in real time. The device decodes the video data received from the server and displays it on the user's head-mounted display. While the user is experiencing the virtual space, the device continuously transmits emotional data to the server, and the server dynamically adjusts the video and explanations based on this data.

[0633] Moreover, the AI ​​chatbot acts as a guide, providing detailed descriptions: when the user asks, "What is this?", the chatbot responds, "This dinosaur was a Tyrannosaurus, and it mainly ate meat."

[0634] Examples

[0635] The user selects "Dinosaur Era." The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and determines that the user is "excited." Based on this, the server retrieves a dynamic dinosaur scene and places it in 3D space. The device displays this video data on a head-mounted display, and the user is immersed in the world of dinosaurs in real time. Furthermore, depending on the user's excitement, further interactive scenes are pushed from the server.

[0636] Examples of prompt statements

[0637] "Provide action-packed footage from the age of dinosaurs for your excited users."

[0638] The system enables a highly customized virtual travel experience based on the user's emotions and interests.

[0639] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0642] As a specific operation, the user operates the terminal interface and selects "Dinosaur Age."

[0643] Input: User's theme selection (e.g. "Age of Dinosaurs")

[0644] Output: The selected theme ID.

[0645] Step 2:

[0646] The terminal sends the user's request to the server.

[0647] A request data with the selected theme ID is created and sent to the server via Wi-Fi.

[0648] Input: Selected Theme ID (e.g. "Age of Dinosaurs")

[0649] Output: A request containing theme selection information.

[0650] Step 3:

[0651] The server acquires emotion data for recognizing the user's emotion.

[0652] Emotion data sent from the device is received and analyzed by the emotion engine.

[0653] Input: Emotion data sent from the device

[0654] Output: Analyzed emotion information (e.g. "joy")

[0655] Step 4:

[0656] The server extracts the relevant video data and transforms it to suit the user's perspective.

[0657] Video data related to the "Dinosaur Age" is retrieved from cloud storage and converted to fit the user's perspective using the Unity3D engine.

[0658] Input: Theme selection information, analyzed emotion information

[0659] Output: Converted video data

[0660] Step 5:

[0661] The server transmits the converted video data to the terminal.

[0662] Using streaming technology, the converted video data is transferred to the terminal in real time.

[0663] Input: Converted video data

[0664] Output: Video data sent to the device

[0665] Step 6:

[0666] The terminal displays the video data on a head-mounted display.

[0667] The received video data is decoded and displayed on a head-mounted display, allowing the user to experience a virtual journey.

[0668] Input: Received video data

[0669] Output: Image displayed on a head-mounted display

[0670] Step 7:

[0671] The terminal continuously transmits the user's emotion data to the server.

[0672] The data obtained from the emotion sensor is continuously sent to the server in real time.

[0673] Input: Real-time emotion data

[0674] Output: Continuous emotion data sent to the server.

[0675] Step 8:

[0676] The server provides detailed instructions to the user through an AI chatbot.

[0677] Depending on the user's movements and questions, the AI ​​chatbot will provide detailed explanations, for example, "This dinosaur is a Tyrannosaurus."

[0678] Input: User questions, real-time sentiment data

[0679] Output: Detailed explanation by AI chatbot

[0680] Step 9:

[0681] The server customizes images and explanations in real time according to the user's emotions.

[0682] Based on the analyzed emotion information, the video and explanation are dynamically adjusted. For example, if the user feels "surprise", an interesting additional scene is provided.

[0683] Input: Continuous emotion data, current video and description information

[0684] Output: Real-time customized video and explanations

[0685] This provides a highly customized virtual travel experience that responds to the user's emotions and interests.

[0686] (Application example 2)

[0687] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal".

[0688] In modern factories, the emotions and stress levels of workers often have a significant impact on work efficiency and quality. However, conventional factory robots and management systems operate at a uniform work speed and in a uniform manner without taking into account the emotional state of workers, which causes problems of increased stress and fatigue among workers. Furthermore, since they do not respond to the individual conditions of workers, it is difficult to maximize the overall work efficiency and quality. Similarly, there has been a lack of technology that recognizes emotions and stress levels in real time and automatically adjusts based on them. To solve these issues, there is a demand for a system that recognizes the user's emotions in real time and automatically adjusts work based on them.

[0689] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0690] In this invention, the server includes a means for recognizing the user's emotions, a means for acquiring related video data based on information selected by the user, and a means for converting and displaying the acquired video data in accordance with the user's viewpoint, thereby making it possible to provide a customized experience and adjust the working environment according to the user's emotions.

[0691] A "user" is a person who interacts with the system and provides affective states and selections.

[0692] The "emotion engine" is a mechanism that analyzes data obtained from external sensors and cameras and recognizes the user's emotional state.

[0693] "Video data" is visual information about historical events or scientific phenomena, and is digital content provided to users.

[0694] An "AI chatbot" is an artificial intelligence-based dialogue system that interacts with users and provides detailed explanations and follow-ups.

[0695] A "head-mounted display" is a display device that is worn by a user to visually experience real-world events or scientific phenomena.

[0696] "Robot control means" refers to a control mechanism for automatically adjusting the speed and method of work based on the user's emotional state.

[0697] A "database" is an information management system that accumulates information about historical events and scientific phenomena and provides it to users.

[0698] A "sensor" is a hardware device for detecting a user's emotional state.

[0699] A "camera" is a photographing device for capturing the user's facial expressions and movements.

[0700] "Work speed" is the speed at which the robot progresses through a task, and is adjusted based on the user's emotional state.

[0701] In order to implement this invention, the server, the terminal, and the user each play their respective roles, thereby realizing a customized experience and adjustment of the working environment according to the user's emotions.

[0702] The server builds an emotion engine and provides a function to recognize the user's emotions. Specifically, the server analyzes data acquired from external sensors and cameras, and determines the user's emotional state based on the user's facial expressions and heart rate. Based on the acquired emotion data, the server customizes the user's experience and tasks in real time.

[0703] The device is equipped with sensors and cameras to recognize the user's emotions and transmits the acquired emotional data to a server. It also receives related video data based on the information selected by the user and displays it on the head-mounted display. This allows the user to visually experience historical events and scientific phenomena. In addition, the device interacts with an AI chatbot to provide detailed explanations.

[0704] As a concrete example, consider a case where a worker on a packaging line in a factory suddenly becomes stressed. In this case, the server recognizes the worker's emotions based on data acquired from cameras and vital sensors, and automatically adjusts the robot's work speed. In addition, an AI chatbot will speak to the worker at appropriate times, encouraging them to "slow down your work pace" and refresh themselves. Conversely, if the worker is relaxed, they will continue working at their normal speed.

[0705] The hardware used is a webcam and vital sensors (to monitor heart rate and sweat gland activity), while the software uses an image processing library, emotion recognition API, and interpretive programming language, etc. This makes it possible to analyze the user's emotions in real time and provide a customized experience and work environment based on that.

[0706] An example of a prompt would be:

[0707] Please explain a system that recognizes the emotional state (stress, relaxation, etc.) of workers on a packaging line in a factory in real time and automatically adjusts the speed and method of a robot's work based on that information. Also, please describe in detail the role of an AI chatbot that interacts with the workers.

[0708] This allows for a customized experience and adjustment of the working environment according to the user's emotional state.

[0709] The flow of the specific process in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0710] Step 1:

[0711] Terminal (user operation)

[0712] The terminal activates the camera and vital sensors when the worker starts working. The camera captures the worker's face, and the vital sensors monitor the heart rate and sweat gland activity. This allows data related to the user's (worker's) emotional state to be obtained. The input is the captured image data and vital data, and the output is processed data to be passed to the emotion recognition model.

[0713] Step 2:

[0714] Terminal (data transmission)

[0715] The device transmits the acquired emotion data to the server in real time. The transmitted data includes captured image data and vital data. The input is the data collected from the user, and the output is a data stream transmitted to the server. The data is converted into an appropriate format for analysis on the server side.

[0716] Step 3:

[0717] Server (emotion recognition)

[0718] The server analyzes the received data and recognizes the user's emotional state using an emotion engine. Specifically, it extracts emotions from image data using image processing libraries and emotion recognition APIs, and integrates vital data. The input is the transmitted data stream, and the output is the judgment result of the emotional state. The server does this in real time.

[0719] Step 4:

[0720] Server (Emotion-based customization)

[0721] The server determines the necessary work adjustments based on the emotion recognition results. For example, if it is determined that the worker is stressed, it processes the work robot to slow down. The input is the emotion recognition result, and the output is a control command for the work robot. This control command is sent to the robot control system.

[0722] Step 5:

[0723] Terminal (Interaction with AI chatbot)

[0724] The AI ​​chatbot on the device provides feedback according to the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the AI ​​chatbot will say, "It's okay to slow down your work pace." The input is the emotion recognition result, and the output is the content of the chatbot's dialogue. This allows the user to receive psychological support.

[0725] Step 6:

[0726] User (feedback on experience)

[0727] The user (worker) takes actions such as adjusting the work pace or taking a break based on the feedback from the AI ​​chatbot. Based on this feedback, the user selects an action that will improve their emotional state. The input is the feedback from the chatbot, and the output is the user's behavior change.

[0728] Through these steps, a customized experience and adjustments to the working environment can be made in real time based on the user's emotional state.

[0729] 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 a voice indicating a user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0730] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by making a neural network perform deep learning. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating a voice, text data indicating a text, and image data indicating an image is input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data according to the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0731] 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 the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the smart glasses 214.

[0756] Wearing a head-mounted display, participants visually experience a virtual site and central area.

[0757] Interact with an AI chatbot that acts as your guide and receives detailed explanations.

[0758] The above is an example of an embodiment of the present invention. The server acquires and converts video data and provides an AI chatbot, the terminal receives and displays the video data, and the user selects and experiences information and interacts with the AI ​​chatbot. This allows the user to take a virtual trip and gain a deeper understanding of historical events and scientific phenomena.

[0759] The process flow will be explained below.

[0760] Step 1: The server acquires and converts the video data.

[0761] The server retrieves video data related to historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user.

[0762] The acquired video data is extracted from a database in the server.

[0777] Example 1

[0778] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal".

[0779] Currently, there are only a limited number of systems that allow users to visually experience historical events or scientific phenomena, making it difficult for users to gain a deep understanding. In addition, existing systems are unable to convert in real time to match the user's perspective, which results in a lack of immersion. Furthermore, there are insufficient guides to provide detailed information, and information supplementation is not adequate.

[0780] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0781] In this invention, the server includes a means for constructing a database for acquiring video data, a means for extracting video data based on a specific event or phenomenon selected by the user, a means for converting the extracted video data to match the user's viewpoint and displaying it, and a means for interacting with an AI chatbot as a guide that provides detailed explanations to the user based on a request provided by the user, thereby enabling the user to gain a deeper understanding of historical events and scientific phenomena through a highly immersive virtual journey.

[0782] A "database" is a collection of data in which information is systematically collected, stored, and made available for rapid retrieval.

[0783] "Video data" is digital or analog data that contains visual information, and is content that includes moving images and still images.

[0784] "Transformation to fit the viewpoint" refers to the process of adjusting the original video data according to the user's field of view and visual needs, and displaying it appropriately.

[0785] An "AI chatbot as a guide" is an automated dialogue system that uses artificial intelligence to provide appropriate information in response to user questions.

[0786] A "visual display device" is a device that allows a user to visually experience video data, and primarily refers to a head-mounted display or a monitor.

[0787] "Additional information" is supplemental information about the event or phenomenon the user is experiencing, including detailed explanations and background knowledge.

[0788] A "request" refers to the act of a user sending a specific request or instruction to the system.

[0789] The embodiment for implementing the present invention includes the following elements.

[0790] 1. Server configuration and roles:

[0791] The server builds a database to acquire and store video data related to historical events and scientific phenomena. Specifically, the server manages a huge amount of video content and extracts relevant video data based on a specific event or phenomenon selected by the user. For example, the database can include "video of pyramid construction in ancient Egypt" and "video on the development of scientific theories." Furthermore, the server converts the extracted video data to match the user's viewpoint. This conversion is intended to enable the user to view the video from a 360-degree viewpoint. The server also provides an AI chatbot as a guide, providing detailed explanations for requests provided by the user.

[0792] 2. Terminal configuration and roles:

[0793] The terminal receives video data from the server based on historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user. The received video data is displayed on a visual display device (e.g., a head-mounted display). A specific example is a device such as a VR headset. The terminal accepts user operations and transmits the operation contents to the server. For example, if the user requests to zoom in on a particular scene or to know more about a particular object, the request is transmitted to the server.

[0794] 3. User interaction and experience:

[0795] Users can operate the device to experience a virtual journey. For example, a user can select a specific historical event or scientific phenomenon, such as "the discovery of Machu Picchu" or "scientific experiment in a laboratory." After that, the user puts on the head-mounted display and visually experiences the selected scene from a 360-degree perspective. Furthermore, if the user wants to know more information, they can interact with an AI chatbot that acts as a guide. For example, if the user asks, "What were the most commonly sold products in this ancient market?", the AI ​​chatbot will answer, "Grains and olive oil were commonly traded."

[0796] Examples:

[0797] As a concrete example, consider the case where the user selects "Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle." In this case, the user receives the video data from the server through the terminal and it is displayed on the head-mounted display. When the user asks a question about the plants and animals discovered during Darwin's voyage, the AI ​​chatbot will explain the details.

[0798] Examples of prompts for a generative AI model include:

[0799] "What were the most commonly sold items in ancient Roman markets?"

[0800] "I would like to know more about what Darwin discovered on his Beagle voyage."

[0801] "I want to see an episode about the discovery of the theory of relativity."

[0802] This allows users to take a virtual journey and gain a deeper understanding of historical events or scientific phenomena.

[0847] Receiving user operations (terminal)

[0848] The terminal receives user operations and requests.

[0849] Input: Actions taken by the user or additional requests.

[0850] Data processing: Analyzes operation and request data and sends it to the server.

[0851] Output: Parsed operation and request data.

[0852] Specific operation: When a user makes a request such as "I would like to take a closer look at Darwin's notes," the request is sent to the server via the terminal.

[0853] Step 8:

[0854] Interaction with AI chatbot (server, user)

[0855] Based on the user's request, the server launches an AI chatbot to act as a guide and engages in a conversation.

[0856] Input: The request made by the user.

[0857] Data processing: The AI ​​chatbot retrieves information corresponding to the request and provides the user with an appropriate answer.

[0858] Output: A detailed description provided to the user.

[0859] What it does: When a user asks, "What's in Darwin's notebooks?" the AI ​​chatbot responds, "These contain Darwin's early thoughts on evolution."

[0860] (Application example 1)

[0861] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0862] Traditional education of historical events and scientific phenomena has often relied on static media such as textbooks and videos, and it has been difficult to actually experience them. This has made it difficult to maintain users' understanding and interest. In addition, guidebooks and human guides have limitations in their explanations, and the information is not always consistently detailed and individualized. This has created a need for an effective way for users to gain a deeper understanding of specific events and phenomena.

[0863] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0864] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring video data related to a historical event or a scientific phenomenon selected by a user based on the historical event or the scientific phenomenon, a means for converting the acquired video data to match the user's viewpoint and displaying it, a means for interacting with an AI chatbot that acts as a guide and provides the user with a detailed explanation of the selected historical event or the scientific phenomenon, a means for the user to experience the video data by wearing a head-mounted display in a physical store, and a means for the AI ​​chatbot to provide a detailed explanation in real time as a guide. This allows the user to experience the historical event or scientific phenomenon in an immersive way and receive a detailed and personalized explanation from the AI ​​chatbot.

[0879] A "physical store" refers to a sales location that has a physical presence to offer goods or services, and is a permanent commercial space.

[0880] "Means of experiencing" refers to the technology or methods that allow a user to actually experience a particular event through simulation or virtual reality.

[0881] In the embodiment of the present invention, the entire system is configured as follows: The system used by a user mainly comprises a server, a terminal, and a head mounted display.

[0882] 1. Server

[0883] The server is responsible for building a database to retrieve video data related to historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user. The retrieved video data is then transformed to fit the user's perspective. The server also provides an AI chatbot to provide relevant detailed explanations to the user in real time.

[0884] The software used includes database access via REST API and a natural language processing engine for the AI ​​chatbot. Specifically, the "requests" library is used to acquire video data, and a GPT series of generative AI models are used for natural language processing.

[0885] 2. Terminal

[0886] The terminal operated by the user receives the video data from the server and displays the data on the head mounted display. The terminal accepts the user's operations and transmits the information to the server.

[0887] The terminals are general-purpose smartphones or tablet devices equipped with a browser application that uses HTML5 or WebGL to receive and display video data.

[0888] 3. Head-mounted displays

[0889] The user wears a head-mounted display and visually experiences the video data transmitted from the server. The video data is updated in real time based on the user's viewpoint, providing an immersive experience.

[0890] The hardware used includes VR headsets, which track the movements of the user's head and adjust the image based on that point of view.

[0891] Examples

[0892] In the education section of the brick-and-mortar store, a visitor selects to experience "Egyptian pyramid construction." The visitor puts on a head-mounted display and is immersed in the pyramid construction site that unfolds before their eyes, witnessing workers stacking stones. In real time, an AI chatbot explains, "This site was built around 2500 BC," and provides additional details, "The stone used was mainly limestone."

[0893] Examples of prompt statements

[0934] An embodiment for implementing the present invention includes the following elements.

[0935] 1. Server

[0936] Build an emotion engine to recognize user emotions.

[0937] Based on the user's selection, relevant video data is extracted and transformed to suit the user's perspective.

[0938] It provides an AI chatbot that acts as a guide and provides detailed explanations to users.

[0939] The system will incorporate a means to recognize the user's emotions and customize the images and explanations accordingly.

[0944] 3. Users

[0945] By operating the terminal, users select the historical event or scientific phenomenon they would like to virtually travel through.

[0946] Wearing a head-mounted display, participants visually experience a virtual site and central area.

[0947] Interact with an AI chatbot that acts as your guide and receives detailed explanations.

[0948] The system recognizes the user's emotions through sensors and cameras and customizes the images and explanations accordingly.

[0949] The above is an example of an embodiment of the present invention. The server provides the emotion engine construction and customization function, the terminal recognizes emotions and displays images, and the user selects and experiences information and interacts with the AI ​​chatbot. This makes it possible to provide a travel experience customized to the user's emotions.

[0950] The process flow will be explained below.

[0951] Step 1: The server customizes the video data incorporating the emotion engine.

[0952] The server builds an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotion.

[0953] Based on the user's selection, relevant video data is extracted and transformed to suit the user's perspective.

[0966] Example 2

[0967] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal".

[0968] Current virtual reality systems can provide video data on historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user, but they lack the ability to dynamically adjust the video and explanation according to the user's emotions, making the experience uniform for each individual user and making true customization difficult. In addition, even if an AI chatbot provides an interactive explanation, the content is fixed and cannot immediately respond to the user's interests and emotions. For this reason, it is necessary to provide a highly personalized virtual travel experience that corresponds to the individual emotions and interests of each user.

[0969] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0970] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring video data related to a historical event or a scientific phenomenon selected by a user, a means for converting the acquired video data to match the user's viewpoint and displaying it, a means for customizing the video data using an emotion engine for recognizing the user's emotions, a means for interacting with an AI chatbot that acts as a guide and provides the user with a detailed explanation of the selected historical event or scientific phenomenon, and a means for dynamically adjusting the video data and the explanation content according to changes in the user's emotions. This enables a highly customized virtual travel experience according to the user's emotions and interests.

[0971] "Video Data" is digital data containing visual information related to a historical event or scientific phenomenon selected by a user.

[0972] An "emotion engine" is a software or hardware function for recognizing a user's emotional state by analyzing the user's facial expressions and behavior.

[0973] "Transforming to fit the user's perspective" means adjusting visual information in real time to accommodate the user's perspective and movements as they experience the site or center.

[0974] An "AI chatbot" is a program that uses artificial intelligence to converse with users in natural language and act as a virtual guide, providing specific information and detailed explanations.

[0975] "Dynamic adjustment" refers to the process of instantly changing or adapting video data and narrative content based on the user's real-time emotions and reactions.

[0976] A "head-mounted display" is a device worn by a user to visually experience virtual reality environments and images.

[0977] "Database" means a collection of information that effectively stores and manages additional information related to a historical event or scientific phenomenon selected by a User.

[0978] "Customization" means tailoring and modifying the experience and information provided to suit a user's specific needs and circumstances, based on their individual feelings and interests.

[0979] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0980] The present invention relates to a system for providing a virtual travel experience customized according to a user's emotions. A specific embodiment of the system will be described below.

[0981] 1. Hardware and Software Used

[0982] In this system, a server, a terminal, and a user each play a role. The server is a computer system that includes an emotion engine, a database, and an AI chatbot. The terminal is a device equipped with sensors, a camera, and a head-mounted display to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine uses a general emotion analysis API (e.g., a natural language processing engine), and the AI ​​chatbot uses a general generative AI model (e.g., a natural language generation model).

[0983] Specific hardware examples include a "depth camera" for emotion recognition and "VR goggles" for the head-mounted display. The server is operated on a "cloud computing platform" and data storage uses a "cloud storage service." Specific software examples include a "natural language processing API" for the emotion engine and a "natural language generation API" for the generative AI model.

[0984] 2. Program Processing

[0985] The server retrieves video data related to historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user from the cloud storage. It uses a 3D engine (e.g., a graphics engine) to transform the video data to fit the user's viewpoint. The server then uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and customizes the video data based on the analysis results.

[0986] For example, if a user selects "Age of Dinosaurs," and the server determines the user's emotion as "joy" using the emotion engine, the video will be centered around playful scenes of dinosaurs.

[0987] Meanwhile, the device is equipped with sensors and cameras to recognize the user's emotions in real time. The device decodes the video data received from the server and displays it on the user's head-mounted display. While the user is experiencing the virtual space, the device continuously transmits emotional data to the server, and the server dynamically adjusts the video and explanations based on this data.

[0988] Moreover, the AI ​​chatbot acts as a guide, providing detailed descriptions: when the user asks, "What is this?", the chatbot responds, "This dinosaur was a Tyrannosaurus, and it mainly ate meat."

[0989] Examples

[0990] The user selects "Dinosaur Era." The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and determines that the user is "excited." Based on this, the server retrieves a dynamic dinosaur scene and places it in 3D space. The device displays this video data on a head-mounted display, and the user is immersed in the world of dinosaurs in real time. Furthermore, depending on the user's excitement, further interactive scenes are pushed from the server.

[0991] Examples of prompt statements

[0992] "Provide action-packed footage from the age of dinosaurs for your excited users."

[0993] The system enables a highly customized virtual travel experience based on the user's emotions and interests.

[0994] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0995] Step 1:

[0996] The user selects a virtual travel theme on the terminal.

[0997] As a specific operation, the user operates the terminal interface and selects "Dinosaur Age."

[0998] Input: User's theme selection (e.g. "Age of Dinosaurs")

[0999] Output: The selected theme ID.

[1000] Step 2:

[1001] The terminal sends the user's request to the server.

[1002] A request data with the selected theme ID is created and sent to the server via Wi-Fi.

[1003] Input: Selected Theme ID (e.g. "Age of Dinosaurs")

[1004] Output: A request containing theme selection information.

[1005] Step 3:

[1006] The server acquires emotion data for recognizing the user's emotion.

[1007] Emotion data sent from the device is received and analyzed by the emotion engine.

[1008] Input: Emotion data sent from the device

[1009] Output: Analyzed emotion information (e.g. "joy")

[1010] Step 4:

[1011] The server extracts the relevant video data and transforms it to suit the user's perspective.

[1012] Video data related to the "Dinosaur Age" is retrieved from cloud storage and converted to fit the user's perspective using the Unity3D engine.

[1013] Input: Theme selection information, analyzed emotion information

[1014] Output: Converted video data

[1015] Step 5:

[1016] The server transmits the converted video data to the terminal.

[1017] Using streaming technology, the converted video data is transferred to the terminal in real time.

[1018] Input: Converted video data

[1019] Output: Video data sent to the device

[1020] Step 6:

[1021] The terminal displays the video data on a head-mounted display.

[1022] The received video data is decoded and displayed on a head-mounted display, allowing the user to experience a virtual journey.

[1023] Input: Received video data

[1024] Output: Image displayed on a head-mounted display

[1025] Step 7:

[1026] The terminal continuously transmits the user's emotion data to the server.

[1027] The data obtained from the emotion sensor is continuously sent to the server in real time.

[1028] Input: Real-time emotion data

[1029] Output: Continuous emotion data sent to the server.

[1030] Step 8:

[1031] The server provides detailed instructions to the user through an AI chatbot.

[1032] Depending on the user's movements and questions, the AI ​​chatbot will provide detailed explanations, for example, "This dinosaur is a Tyrannosaurus."

[1033] Input: User questions, real-time sentiment data

[1034] Output: Detailed explanation by AI chatbot

[1035] Step 9:

[1036] The server customizes images and explanations in real time according to the user's emotions.

[1037] Based on the analyzed emotion information, the video and explanation are dynamically adjusted. For example, if the user feels "surprise", an interesting additional scene is provided.

[1038] Input: Continuous emotion data, current video and description information

[1039] Output: Real-time customized video and explanations

[1040] This provides a highly customized virtual travel experience that responds to the user's emotions and interests.

[1041] (Application example 2)

[1042] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server", and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal".

[1043] In modern factories, the emotions and stress levels of workers often have a significant impact on work efficiency and quality. However, conventional factory robots and management systems operate at a uniform work speed and in a uniform manner without taking into account the emotional state of workers, which causes problems of increased stress and fatigue among workers. Furthermore, since they do not respond to the individual conditions of workers, it is difficult to maximize the overall work efficiency and quality. Similarly, there has been a lack of technology that recognizes emotions and stress levels in real time and automatically adjusts based on them. To solve these issues, there is a demand for a system that recognizes the user's emotions in real time and automatically adjusts work based on them.

[1044] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1045] In this invention, the server includes a means for recognizing the user's emotions, a means for acquiring related video data based on information selected by the user, and a means for converting and displaying the acquired video data in accordance with the user's viewpoint, thereby making it possible to provide a customized experience and adjust the working environment according to the user's emotions.

[1046] A "user" is a person who interacts with the system and provides affective states and selections.

[1047] The "emotion engine" is a mechanism that analyzes data obtained from external sensors and cameras and recognizes the user's emotional state.

[1048] "Video data" is visual information about historical events or scientific phenomena, and is digital content provided to users.

[1049] An "AI chatbot" is an artificial intelligence-based dialogue system that interacts with users and provides detailed explanations and follow-ups.

[1050] A "head-mounted display" is a display device that is worn by a user to visually experience real-world events or scientific phenomena.

[1051] "Robot control means" refers to a control mechanism for automatically adjusting the speed and method of work based on the user's emotional state.

[1052] A "database" is an information management system that accumulates information about historical events and scientific phenomena and provides it to users.

[1053] A "sensor" is a hardware device for detecting a user's emotional state.

[1054] A "camera" is a photographing device for capturing the user's facial expressions and movements.

[1055] "Work speed" is the speed at which the robot progresses through a task, and is adjusted based on the user's emotional state.

[1056] In order to implement this invention, the server, the terminal, and the user each play their respective roles, thereby realizing a customized experience and adjustment of the working environment according to the user's emotions.

[1057] The server builds an emotion engine and provides a function to recognize the user's emotions. Specifically, the server analyzes data acquired from external sensors and cameras, and determines the user's emotional state based on the user's facial expressions and heart rate. Based on the acquired emotion data, the server customizes the user's experience and tasks in real time.

[1058] The device is equipped with sensors and cameras to recognize the user's emotions and transmits the acquired emotional data to a server. It also receives related video data based on the information selected by the user and displays it on the head-mounted display. This allows the user to visually experience historical events and scientific phenomena. In addition, the device interacts with an AI chatbot to provide detailed explanations.

[1059] As a concrete example, consider a case where a worker on a packaging line in a factory suddenly becomes stressed. In this case, the server recognizes the worker's emotions based on data acquired from cameras and vital sensors, and automatically adjusts the robot's work speed. In addition, an AI chatbot will speak to the worker at appropriate times, encouraging them to "slow down your work pace" and refresh themselves. Conversely, if the worker is relaxed, they will continue working at their normal speed.

[1060] The hardware used is a webcam and vital sensors (to monitor heart rate and sweat gland activity), while the software uses an image processing library, emotion recognition API, and interpretive programming language, etc. This makes it possible to analyze the user's emotions in real time and provide a customized experience and work environment based on that.

[1061] An example of a prompt would be:

[1062] Please explain a system that recognizes the emotional state (stress, relaxation, etc.) of workers on a packaging line in a factory in real time and automatically adjusts the speed and method of a robot's work based on that information. Also, please describe in detail the role of an AI chatbot that interacts with the workers.

[1063] This allows for a customized experience and adjustment of the working environment according to the user's emotional state.

[1064] The flow of the specific process in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1065] Step 1:

[1066] Terminal (user operation)

[1067] The terminal activates the camera and vital sensors when the worker starts working. The camera captures the worker's face, and the vital sensors monitor the heart rate and sweat gland activity. This allows data related to the user's (worker's) emotional state to be obtained. The input is the captured image data and vital data, and the output is processed data to be passed to the emotion recognition model.

[1068] Step 2:

[1069] Terminal (data transmission)

[1070] The device transmits the acquired emotion data to the server in real time. The transmitted data includes captured image data and vital data. The input is the data collected from the user, and the output is a data stream transmitted to the server. The data is converted into an appropriate format for analysis on the server side.

[1071] Step 3:

[1072] Server (emotion recognition)

[1073] The server analyzes the received data and recognizes the user's emotional state using an emotion engine. Specifically, it extracts emotions from image data using image processing libraries and emotion recognition APIs, and integrates vital data. The input is the transmitted data stream, and the output is the judgment result of the emotional state. The server does this in real time.

[1074] Step 4:

[1075] Server (Emotion-based customization)

[1076] The server determines the necessary work adjustments based on the emotion recognition results. For example, if it is determined that the worker is stressed, it processes the work robot to slow down. The input is the emotion recognition result, and the output is a control command for the work robot. This control command is sent to the robot control system.

[1077] Step 5:

[1078] Terminal (Interaction with AI chatbot)

[1079] The AI ​​chatbot on the device provides feedback according to the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the AI ​​chatbot will say, "It's okay to slow down your work pace." The input is the emotion recognition result, and the output is the content of the chatbot's dialogue. This allows the user to receive psychological support.

[1080] Step 6:

[1081] User (feedback on experience)

[1082] The user (worker) takes actions such as adjusting the work pace or taking a break based on the feedback from the AI ​​chatbot. Based on this feedback, the user selects an action that will improve their emotional state. The input is the feedback from the chatbot, and the output is the user's behavior change.

[1083] Through these steps, a customized experience and adjustments to the working environment can be made in real time based on the user's emotional state.

[1084] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[1085] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by making a neural network perform deep learning. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating a voice, text data indicating a text, and image data indicating an image is input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data according to the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[1086] 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 the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the headset type terminal 314.

[1115] The process flow will be explained below.

[1116] Step 1: The server acquires and converts the video data.

[1117] The server retrieves video data related to historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user.

[1118] The acquired video data is extracted from a database in the server.

[1119] The server converts the captured video data to match the user's viewpoint, allowing the user to visually experience a virtual site or center.

[1120] Step 2: The device receives and displays the video data

[1121] The terminal receives the video data transmitted from the server.

[1122] The received video data is displayed on a head-mounted display inside the terminal.

[1123] Users can wear a head-mounted display and visually experience a virtual site or central area.

[1124] Step 3: User makes information selections and experiences

[1125] The user operates the terminal to select the historical event or scientific phenomenon about which they would like to virtually travel.

[1126] The selected information is transmitted from the terminal to the server.

[1127] Based on the user's selection, the server retrieves the relevant video data, converts it and sends it to the terminal.

[1128] Step 4: User interacts with AI chatbot and receives detailed instructions

[1129] Users interact with the AI ​​chatbot through a head-mounted display.

[1130] The AI ​​chatbot provides users with detailed explanations of selected historical events or scientific phenomena.

[1131] Users can gain deeper understanding through dialogue with AI chatbots.

[1132] This is the flow of the program's processing. The server acquires and converts the video data, and the terminal receives and displays the video data. The user can select and experience information, and receive detailed explanations through dialogue with the AI ​​chatbot.

[1133] Example 1

[1134] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 is referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 is referred to as a "terminal."

[1135] Currently, there are only a limited number of systems that allow users to visually experience historical events or scientific phenomena, making it difficult for users to gain a deep understanding. In addition, existing systems are unable to convert in real time to match the user's perspective, which results in a lack of immersion. Furthermore, there are insufficient guides to provide detailed information, and information supplementation is not adequate.

[1136] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1137] In this invention, the server includes a means for constructing a database for acquiring video data, a means for extracting video data based on a specific event or phenomenon selected by the user, a means for converting the extracted video data to match the user's viewpoint and displaying it, and a means for interacting with an AI chatbot as a guide that provides detailed explanations to the user based on a request provided by the user, thereby enabling the user to gain a deeper understanding of historical events and scientific phenomena through a highly immersive virtual journey.

[1138] A "database" is a collection of data in which information is systematically collected, stored, and made available for rapid retrieval.

[1139] "Video data" is digital or analog data that contains visual information, and is content that includes moving images and still images.

[1140] "Transformation to fit the viewpoint" refers to the process of adjusting the original video data according to the user's field of view and visual needs, and displaying it appropriately.

[1141] An "AI chatbot as a guide" is an automated dialogue system that uses artificial intelligence to provide appropriate information in response to user questions.

[1142] A "visual display device" is a device that allows a user to visually experience video data, and primarily refers to a head-mounted display or a monitor.

[1143] "Additional information" is supplemental information about the event or phenomenon the user is experiencing, including detailed explanations and background knowledge.

[1144] A "request" refers to the act of a user sending a specific request or instruction to the system.

[1145] The embodiment for implementing the present invention includes the following elements.

[1146] 1. Server configuration and roles:

[1147] The server builds a database to acquire and store video data related to historical events and scientific phenomena. Specifically, the server manages a huge amount of video content and extracts relevant video data based on a specific event or phenomenon selected by the user. For example, the database can include "video of pyramid construction in ancient Egypt" and "video on the development of scientific theories." Furthermore, the server converts the extracted video data to match the user's viewpoint. This conversion is intended to enable the user to view the video from a 360-degree viewpoint. The server also provides an AI chatbot as a guide, providing detailed explanations for requests provided by the user.

[1148] 2. Terminal configuration and roles:

[1149] The terminal receives video data from the server based on historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user. The received video data is displayed on a visual display device (e.g., a head-mounted display). A specific example is a device such as a VR headset. The terminal accepts user operations and transmits the operation contents to the server. For example, if the user requests to zoom in on a particular scene or to know more about a particular object, the request is transmitted to the server.

[1150] 3. User interaction and experience:

[1151] Users can operate the device to experience a virtual journey. For example, a user can select a specific historical event or scientific phenomenon, such as "the discovery of Machu Picchu" or "scientific experiment in a laboratory." After that, the user puts on the head-mounted display and visually experiences the selected scene from a 360-degree perspective. Furthermore, if the user wants to know more information, they can interact with an AI chatbot that acts as a guide. For example, if the user asks, "What were the most commonly sold products in this ancient market?", the AI ​​chatbot will answer, "Grains and olive oil were commonly traded."

[1152] Examples:

[1153] As a concrete example, consider the case where the user selects "Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle." In this case, the user receives the video data from the server through the terminal and it is displayed on the head-mounted display. When the user asks a question about the plants and animals discovered during Darwin's voyage, the AI ​​chatbot will explain the details.

[1154] Examples of prompts for a generative AI model include:

[1155] "What were the most commonly sold items in ancient Roman markets?"

[1156] "I would like to know more about what Darwin discovered on his Beagle voyage."

[1157] "I want to see an episode about the discovery of the theory of relativity."

[1158] This allows users to take a virtual journey and gain a deeper understanding of historical events or scientific phenomena.

[1323] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal".

[1324] Current virtual reality systems can provide video data on historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user, but they lack the ability to dynamically adjust the video and explanation according to the user's emotions, making the experience uniform for each individual user and making true customization difficult. In addition, even if an AI chatbot provides an interactive explanation, the content is fixed and cannot immediately respond to the user's interests and emotions. For this reason, it is necessary to provide a highly personalized virtual travel experience that corresponds to the individual emotions and interests of each user.

[1325] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1326] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring video data related to a historical event or a scientific phenomenon selected by a user, a means for converting the acquired video data to match the user's viewpoint and displaying it, a means for customizing the video data using an emotion engine for recognizing the user's emotions, a means for interacting with an AI chatbot that acts as a guide and provides the user with a detailed explanation of the selected historical event or scientific phenomenon, and a means for dynamically adjusting the video data and the explanation content according to changes in the user's emotions. This enables a highly customized virtual travel experience according to the user's emotions and interests.

[1327] "Video Data" is digital data containing visual information related to a historical event or scientific phenomenon selected by a user.

[1328] An "emotion engine" is a software or hardware function for recognizing a user's emotional state by analyzing the user's facial expressions and behavior.

[1329] "Transforming to fit the user's perspective" means adjusting visual information in real time to accommodate the user's perspective and movements as they experience the site or center.

[1330] An "AI chatbot" is a program that uses artificial intelligence to converse with users in natural language and act as a virtual guide, providing specific information and detailed explanations.

[1331] "Dynamic adjustment" refers to the process of instantly changing or adapting video data and narrative content based on the user's real-time emotions and reactions.

[1332] A "head-mounted display" is a device worn by a user to visually experience virtual reality environments and images.

[1333] "Database" means a collection of information that effectively stores and manages additional information related to a historical event or scientific phenomenon selected by a User.

[1334] "Customization" means tailoring and modifying the experience and information provided to suit a user's specific needs and circumstances, based on their individual feelings and interests.

[1335] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[1336] The present invention relates to a system for providing a virtual travel experience customized according to a user's emotions. A specific embodiment of the system will be described below.

[1337] 1. Hardware and Software Used

[1338] In this system, a server, a terminal, and a user each play a role. The server is a computer system that includes an emotion engine, a database, and an AI chatbot. The terminal is a device equipped with sensors, a camera, and a head-mounted display to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine uses a general emotion analysis API (e.g., a natural language processing engine), and the AI ​​chatbot uses a general generative AI model (e.g., a natural language generation model).

[1339] Specific hardware examples include a "depth camera" for emotion recognition and "VR goggles" for the head-mounted display. The server is operated on a "cloud computing platform" and data storage uses a "cloud storage service." Specific software examples include a "natural language processing API" for the emotion engine and a "natural language generation API" for the generative AI model.

[1340] 2. Program Processing

[1341] The server retrieves video data related to historical events or scientific phenomena selected by the user from the cloud storage. It uses a 3D engine (e.g., a graphics engine) to transform the video data to fit the user's viewpoint. The server then uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and customizes the video data based on the analysis results.

[1342] For example, if a user selects "Age of Dinosaurs," and the server determines the user's emotion as "joy" using the emotion engine, the video will be centered around playful scenes of dinosaurs.

[1343] Meanwhile, the device is equipped with sensors and cameras to recognize the user's emotions in real time. The device decodes the video data received from the server and displays it on the user's head-mounted display. While the user is experiencing the virtual space, the device continuously transmits emotional data to the server, and the server dynamically adjusts the video and explanations based on this data.

[1344] Moreover, the AI ​​chatbot acts as a guide, providing detailed descriptions: when the user asks, "What is this?", the chatbot responds, "This dinosaur was a Tyrannosaurus, and it mainly ate meat."

[1345] Examples

[1346] The user selects "Dinosaur Era." The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and determines that the user is "excited." Based on this, the server retrieves a dynamic dinosaur scene and places it in 3D space. The device displays this video data on a head-mounted display, and the user is immersed in the world of dinosaurs in real time. Furthermore, depending on the user's excitement, further interactive scenes are pushed from the server.

[1347] Examples of prompt statements

[1348] "Provide action-packed footage from the age of dinosaurs for your excited users."

[1349] The system enables a highly customized virtual travel experience based on the user's emotions and interests.

[1355] Output: The selected theme ID.

[1356] Step 2:

[1357] The terminal sends the user's request to the server.

[1358] A request data with the selected theme ID is created and sent to the server via Wi-Fi.

[1359] Input: Selected Theme ID (e.g. "Age of Dinosaurs")

[1360] Output: A request containing theme selection information.

[1361] Step 3:

[1362] The server acquires emotion data for recognizing the user's emotion.

[1363] Emotion data sent from the device is received and analyzed by the emotion engine.

[1364] Input: Emotion data sent from the device

[1365] Output: Analyzed emotion information (e.g. "joy")

[1366] Step 4:

[1367] The server extracts the relevant video data and transforms it to suit the user's perspective.

[1368] Video data related to the "Dinosaur Age" is retrieved from cloud storage and converted to fit the user's perspective using the Unity3D engine.

[1369] Input: Theme selection information, analyzed emotion information

[1370] Output: Converted video data

[1371] Step 5:

[1372] The server transmits the converted video data to the terminal.

[1373] Using streaming technology, the converted video data is transferred to the terminal in real time.

[1374] Input: Converted video data

[1375] Output: Video data sent to the device

[1376] Step 6:

[1377] The terminal displays the video data on a head-mounted display.

[1378] The received video data is decoded and displayed on a head-mounted display, allowing the user to experience a virtual journey.

[1379] Input: Received video data

[1380] Output: Image displayed on a head-mounted display

[1381] Step 7:

[1382] The terminal continuously transmits the user's emotion data to the server.

[1383] The data obtained from the emotion sensor is continuously sent to the server in real time.

[1384] Input: Real-time emotion data

[1385] Output: Continuous emotion data sent to the server.

[1386] Step 8:

[1387] The server provides detailed instructions to the user through an AI chatbot.

[1388] Depending on the user's movements and questions, the AI ​​chatbot will provide detailed explanations, for example, "This dinosaur is a Tyrannosaurus."

[1389] Input: User questions, real-time sentiment data

[1390] Output: Detailed explanation by AI chatbot

[1391] Step 9:

[1392] The server customizes images and explanations in real time according to the user's emotions.

[1393] Based on the analyzed emotion information, the video and explanation are dynamically adjusted. For example, if the user feels "surprise", an interesting additional scene is provided.

[1394] Input: Continuous emotion data, current video and description information

[1395] Output: Real-time customized video and explanations

[1396] This provides a highly customized virtual travel experience that responds to the user's emotions and interests.

[1397] (Application example 2)

[1398] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal".

[1399] In modern factories, the emotions and stress levels of workers often have a significant impact on work efficiency and quality. However, conventional factory robots and management systems operate at a uniform work speed and in a uniform manner without taking into account the emotional state of workers, which causes problems of increased stress and fatigue among workers. Furthermore, since they do not respond to the individual conditions of workers, it is difficult to maximize the overall work efficiency and quality. Similarly, there has been a lack of technology that recognizes emotions and stress levels in real time and automatically adjusts based on them. To solve these issues, there is a demand for a system that recognizes the user's emotions in real time and automatically adjusts work based on them.

[1400] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1401] In this invention, the server includes a means for recognizing the user's emotions, a means for acquiring related video data based on information selected by the user, and a means for converting and displaying the acquired video data in accordance with the user's viewpoint, thereby making it possible to provide a customized experience and adjust the working environment according to the user's emotions.

[1402] A "user" is a person who interacts with the system and provides affective states and selections.

[1403] The "emotion engine" is a mechanism that analyzes data obtained from external sensors and cameras and recognizes the user's emotional state.

[1404] "Video data" is visual information about historical events or scientific phenomena, and is digital content provided to users.

[1405] An "AI chatbot" is an artificial intelligence-based dialogue system that interacts with users and provides detailed explanations and follow-ups.

[1406] A "head-mounted display" is a display device that is worn by a user to visually experience real-world events or scientific phenomena.

[1407] "Robot control means" refers to a control mechanism for automatically adjusting the speed and method of work based on the user's emotional state.

[1408] A "database" is an information management system that accumulates information about historical events and scientific phenomena and provides it to users.

[1409] A "sensor" is a hardware device for detecting a user's emotional state.

[1410] A "camera" is a photographing device for capturing the user's facial expressions and movements.

[1411] "Work speed" is the speed at which the robot progresses through a task, and is adjusted based on the user's emotional state.

[1412] In order to implement this invention, the server, the terminal, and the user each play their respective roles, thereby realizing a customized experience and adjustment of the working environment according to the user's emotions.

[1413] The server builds an emotion engine and provides a function to recognize the user's emotions. Specifically, the server analyzes data acquired from external sensors and cameras, and determines the user's emotional state based on the user's facial expressions and heart rate. Based on the acquired emotion data, the server customizes the user's experience and tasks in real time.

[1414] The device is equipped with sensors and cameras to recognize the user's emotions and transmits the acquired emotional data to a server. It also receives related video data based on the information selected by the user and displays it on the head-mounted display. This allows the user to visually experience historical events and scientific phenomena. In addition, the device interacts with an AI chatbot to provide detailed explanations.

[1415] As a concrete example, consider a case where a worker on a packaging line in a factory suddenly becomes stressed. In this case, the server recognizes the worker's emotions based on data acquired from cameras and vital sensors, and automatically adjusts the robot's work speed. In addition, an AI chatbot will speak to the worker at appropriate times, encouraging them to "slow down your work pace" and refresh themselves. Conversely, if the worker is relaxed, they will continue working at their normal speed.

[1416] The hardware used is a webcam and vital sensors (to monitor heart rate and sweat gland activity), while the software uses an image processing library, emotion recognition API, and interpretive programming language, etc. This makes it possible to analyze the user's emotions in real time and provide a customized experience and work environment based on that.

[1417] An example of a prompt would be:

[1418] Please explain a system that recognizes the emotional state (stress, relaxation, etc.) of workers on a packaging line in a factory in real time and automatically adjusts the speed and method of a robot's work based on that information. Also, please describe in detail the role of an AI chatbot that interacts with the workers.

[1419] This allows for a customized experience and adjustment of the working environment according to the user's emotional state.

[1420] The flow of the specific process in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1421] Step 1:

[1422] Terminal (user operation)

[1423] The terminal activates the camera and vital sensors when the worker starts working. The camera captures the worker's face, and the vital sensors monitor the heart rate and sweat gland activity. This allows data related to the user's (worker's) emotional state to be obtained. The input is the captured image data and vital data, and the output is processed data to be passed to the emotion recognition model.

[1424] Step 2:

[1425] Terminal (data transmission)

[1426] The device transmits the acquired emotion data to the server in real time. The transmitted data includes captured image data and vital data. The input is the data collected from the user, and the output is a data stream transmitted to the server. The data is converted into an appropriate format for analysis on the server side.

[1427] Step 3:

[1428] Server (emotion recognition)

[1429] The server analyzes the received data and recognizes the user's emotional state using an emotion engine. Specifically, it extracts emotions from image data using image processing libraries and emotion recognition APIs, and integrates vital data. The input is the transmitted data stream, and the output is the judgment result of the emotional state. The server does this in real time.

[1430] Step 4:

[1431] Server (Emotion-based customization)

[1432] The server determines the necessary work adjustments based on the emotion recognition results. For example, if it is determined that the worker is stressed, it processes the work robot to slow down. The input is the emotion recognition result, and the output is a control command for the work robot. This control command is sent to the robot control system.

[1433] Step 5:

[1434] Terminal (Interaction with AI chatbot)

[1435] The AI ​​chatbot on the device provides feedback according to the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the AI ​​chatbot will say, "It's okay to slow down your work pace." The input is the emotion recognition result, and the output is the content of the chatbot's dialogue. This allows the user to receive psychological support.

[1436] Step 6:

[1437] User (feedback on experience)

[1438] The user (worker) takes actions such as adjusting the work pace or taking a break based on the feedback from the AI ​​chatbot. Based on this feedback, the user selects an action that will improve their emotional state. The input is the feedback from the chatbot, and the output is the user's behavior change.

[1439] Through these steps, a customized experience and adjustments to the working environment can be made in real time based on the user's emotional state.

[1440] 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 control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires a voice indicating a user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[1441] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by making a neural network perform deep learning. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating a voice, text data indicating a text, and image data indicating an image is input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data according to the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[1442] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific process was performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific process may be performed by the robot 414.

[1443] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the emotion of the user according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the user according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the robot, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the emotion of the robot.

[1444] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an emotion map 400 on 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 emotions are arranged. The more outside the concentric circles, the more emotions that represent states and actions that arise from a state of mind are arranged. Emotions are a concept that includes emotions and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain are arranged. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are arranged. On the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain and are induced by situational judgment are arranged. In addition, on the upper side of the concentric circles, emotions of "pleasure" are arranged, and on the lower side, emotions of "discomfort" are arranged. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.

[1445] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction of emotion map 400 and usually fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.

[1446] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on inside one's mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further out you go on emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[1447] Here, human emotions are based on various balances such as posture and blood sugar level, and when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, motorcycles, etc., based on various balances such as posture and battery level, so that when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. The emotion map may be generated, for example, based on the emotion map of Dr. Mitsuyoshi (Research on speech emotion recognition and emotion brain physiological signal analysis system, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). On the left half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "reaction" where sensation is dominant are lined up. On the right half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "situation" where situation recognition is dominant are lined up.

[1448] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. The first is the negative emotion around the middle of "repentance" or "remorse" on the situation side. In other words, this 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 positive emotion around "desire" on the response side. In other words, this is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[1449] The emotion identification model 59 inputs the user input to a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the emotion of the user. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple learning data that are combinations of the user input and emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relief," "calm," and "encouraging," have similar emotion values.

[1450] Although the system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented in a server.

[1451] In the above embodiment, an example is given in which the specific processing is performed by one computer 22, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be distributed and performed by a plurality of computers including the computer 22. For example, the 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 input data.

[1452] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable computer-readable non-transitory storage medium such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12.

[1454] It is not necessary to store all 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 all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
