Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] Figure 1 shows and explains the configuration of a seminar planning and operation support system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0015] As shown in the figure, the seminar planning and operation support system includes a server device 1 that functions as a seminar planning and operation support device, a user's terminal device 2, a terminal device 3 for seminar execution, and a terminal device 4 of the seminar organizer, which are wirelessly or wiredly connected via a communication network 5 such as the Internet and configured. As the terminal devices 2 and 3, various types such as smartphones, tablet terminals, notebook personal computers, and desktop personal computers can be adopted.

[0016] In such a configuration, the server device 1 has the function of a generative artificial intelligence (AI), and based on the seminar content summary, seminar progress plan summary, etc. sent from the terminal device 4 of the seminar organizer, it generates a seminar progress plan (including a time table) and generates a lecture text. Then, based on these progress plans and lecture texts, the seminar execution terminal device 3 executes the seminar.

[0017] Furthermore, when questions are received from the user's terminal device 2 at the start, during, or end of the seminar, etc., it evaluates whether it is a question about the seminar (such as the organizer / moderator / lecturer, etc.), a comment to other users, or just a comment such as an impression. For questions about the seminar, it generates an answer using the function of the generative AI and outputs the answer (voice / display) from the seminar execution terminal device 3 or sends it to the user's terminal device 2.

[0018] As described above, this seminar planning and operation support system generates from the seminar progress plan to the lecture content and further to the answers to questions, enabling a smooth progress of the seminar and flexible responses.

[0019] Figures 2(a) to 2(e) show and explain the configuration of the server device in the seminar planning and operation support system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0020] As shown in Figure 2(a), this server device 1 has a control unit 11, a communication I / F 12, and a storage unit 13. The control unit 11, the communication I / F 12, and the storage unit 13 are communicably connected via a system bus. In addition to these configurations, it may also have an input unit such as a keyboard and a mouse, and a display unit such as a liquid crystal display for performing various displays.

[0021] The communication I / F 12 is realized by, for example, a NIC or the like, is connected to a communication network 5 such as the Internet by wire or wirelessly, and is a communication interface that communicates with terminal devices 2, 3, etc. The storage unit 13 is realized by a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM or a flash memory, an HDD, or an optical disk device, etc., and stores in advance a program executed by the control unit 11. The storage unit 13 has a user information storage unit 14, a seminar information storage unit 15, and a generation use storage unit 16.

[0022] The user information storage unit 14 stores, in association with the user ID, attribute information such as the user's name, age, gender, email address, telephone number, etc., seminar attendance history information (including the seminar ID of the attended seminar), and payment information, etc.

[0023] The seminar information storage unit 15 stores, in association with the seminar ID, information such as the title of the seminar, the date and time of the event, the venue, the participants (including the user ID), the progress plan, the lecture text, etc.

[0024] In the generation use storage unit 16, mathematical models and various data used when the generation unit 11f generates a progress plan, a lecture text, question and answer, etc. are stored, and the content is updated regularly.

[0025] The control unit 11 is realized by a CPU, an MPU, etc. The control unit 11 is composed of an integrated circuit such as an ASIC or an FPGA. The control unit 11 functions as a main control unit 11a, a communication control unit 11b, a management unit 11c, a progress control unit 11d, a question processing unit 11e, and a generation unit 11f by reading and executing the program stored in the storage unit 13.

[0026] In such a configuration, the communication control unit 11b functions as a receiving unit that receives information such as user information sent from the user's terminal device 2 and a summary of the seminar content and a summary of the seminar progress plan sent from the terminal device of the seminar organizer, and a transmitting unit that sends an answer to a question to the user's terminal device.

[0027] The management unit 11c has a configuration shown in detail in Fig. 2(b), and consists of a user management unit 11c-1 and a seminar management unit 11c-2. That is, the user management unit 11c-1 registers user information in the user information storage unit 14 and manages it while appropriately updating it. The seminar management unit 11c-2 registers seminar information in the seminar information storage unit 15 and manages it while appropriately updating it.

[0028] The progress control unit 11d has a configuration shown in detail in Fig. 2(c), and consists of a time table management unit 11d-1, a lecture text processing unit 11d-2, and a lecture execution unit 11d-3. The time table management unit 11d-1 manages the progress of the seminar in terms of time based on the time table included in the progress plan information generated by the generation unit 11f. The lecture text processing unit 11d-2 performs processes such as allocating the lecture text generated by the generation unit 11f to each frame in which the progress plan is subdivided. Then, the seminar lecture execution unit 11d-3 controls the execution of the seminar so that the lecture content processed by the lecture text processing unit 11d-2 is displayed and output as audio on the seminar execution terminal device 3. From the above viewpoints, the progress control unit 11d plays a role in the progress of the seminar.

[0029] The question processing unit 11e has a configuration shown in detail in Fig. 2(d), and consists of a question reception processing unit 11e-1, an evaluation unit 11e-2, and an answer reception processing unit 11e-3. The question reception processing unit 11e-1 receives and processes questions from the user's terminal device 2. The evaluation unit 11e-2 analyzes the content of the received question and evaluates whether it is a question about the seminar, a question for another user, or just a comment. Then, the answer reception processing unit 11e-3 receives the answer to the question generated by the generation unit 11f and processes it so that the answer to the question is displayed or output as audio on the seminar execution terminal device 3 via the lecture execution unit 11d-3 of the progress control unit 11d.

[0030] The generation unit 11f functions as a generative AI, and as shown in detail in Fig. 2(e), consists of a lecture text generation unit 11f-1 and a question-answer generation unit 11f-2.

[0031] The lecture text generation unit 11f-1 receives information such as the seminar content outline sent from the terminal device 3 of the seminar organizer, and generates a lecture text based on the mathematical model and various data stored in the generation storage unit 16.

[0032] Then, the question and answer generation unit 11f-2 receives, among the questions from the user's terminal device 2, the questions determined to be questions about the seminar by the question processing unit 11e, and generates an answer to the question based on the mathematical model and various data stored in the generation storage unit 16. More specifically, using terms such as those shown in FIG. 6 as prompts, an answer to the question is generated. In this example, the case of generating an answer based on the questions at the time of seminar application and the case where the question and answer generation unit 11f-2 generates an answer without particular constraints are shown. For each case, an answer is generated based on the text of the notification page, the attribute information of the applicant, the question content received at the time of application, the question content on the day, etc.

[0033] Here, the mathematical model used by the lecture text generation unit 11f-1 and the question and answer generation unit 11f-2 for generation is a mathematical model obtained by performing machine learning based on the following learning data related to the area targeted by the seminar in addition to the learning data of a general large-scale language model. · Articles, news, papers published by various media, research companies, governments, local governments, and other organizations related to the area · Information published by product and service providers related to the area · Information on seminar and lecture content (including images and sounds) related to the area · Other publicly available information related to the discussion area

[0034] In addition, the main control unit 11a is in charge of other operations and processes such as sending emails and chats related to the answers to the questions of the user's terminal device 2.

[0035] Fig. 3 shows and describes the configuration of the terminal device in the seminar planning and operation support system according to the embodiment of the present invention. Here, the configuration of the user's terminal device 2 will be described, but the terminal device 3 of the seminar organizer has a substantially similar configuration.

[0036] As shown in the figure, the terminal device 2 includes a control unit 21, a communication I / F 22, a display unit 23, an operation input unit 24, an audio output unit 25, and a storage unit 26. Each of the units 21 to 26 is communicably connected via a system bus. The communication I / F 22 is realized by, for example, a NIC or the like, and is connected to a communication network 4 such as the Internet by wire or wirelessly, and is a communication interface for communicating with the server device 1 or the like.

[0037] The display unit 23 is realized by a liquid crystal display or the like and performs various displays. It is also possible to use the display unit 23 as a projector or an external large display. The operation input unit 24 is realized by a mouse, a keyboard, or the like, and receives various operation inputs by the user.

[0038] The audio output unit 25 is composed of a speaker or the like. The storage unit 26 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM or a flash memory, an HDD, or an optical disk device, and stores a program executed by the control unit 21.

[0039] The control unit 21 is realized by a CPU, an MPU, or the like, and may be composed of an integrated circuit such as an ASIC or an FPGA. The control unit 21 functions as a main control unit 21a, a transmission / reception control unit 21b, and an output control unit 21c by reading and executing the program stored in the storage unit 26.

[0040] In such a configuration, the main control unit 21a controls the entire terminal device 2. The transmission / reception control unit 21b functions as a transmission unit that transmits user information and questions to the server device 1, and a reception unit that receives lecture data (display, audio data, etc.) from the server device 1. The output control unit 21c controls the display by the display unit 23 and the audio output by the audio output unit 25 based on the received lecture data.

[0041] Hereinafter, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4, the processing procedure for seminar planning and operation by the seminar planning and operation support system will be described in detail.

[0042] When this process starts, the progress plan generation unit 11f-1 acquires seminar progress plan information including the seminar content outline and the time table sent from the terminal device 3 of the seminar organizer (S1). The lecture text generation unit 11f-1 receives information such as the seminar content outline sent from the terminal device 3 of the seminar organizer, and generates a lecture text based on the mathematical model and various data stored in the generation storage unit 16 (S2).

[0043] Subsequently, the time table management unit 11d-1 manages the progress of the seminar in terms of time based on the time table included in the seminar progress plan information (S3). Then, the lecture text processing unit 11d-2 performs processing such as allocating the lecture text generated by the lecture text generation unit 11f-1 to each segment obtained by subdividing the progress plan (S4). Subsequently, the lecture execution unit 11d-3 controls the execution of the seminar so that display and voice output are performed on the seminar execution terminal device 3 based on the lecture content processed by the lecture text processing unit 11d-2 (S5). And along with the execution of the lecture, the communication control unit 11b transmits the lecture data (display / voice) of the seminar to the terminal device 3 (S6).

[0044] In the seminar execution terminal device 3, the transmission / reception control unit 21b receives the lecture data (display / voice) (S7), and under the control of the output control unit 21c, display by the display unit 23 and voice output by the voice output unit 25 are performed (S8). Thus, a series of processes are terminated.

[0045] Hereinafter, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5, the processing procedure for question processing by the seminar planning and operation support system will be described in detail.

[0046] When the process starts, on the user's terminal device 2, a question is input in a predetermined input form by operating the operation input unit 24 (S11), and is transmitted to the server device 1 under the control of the transmission / reception control unit 21b (S12).

[0047] At the server device 1, the question reception processing unit 11e-1 receives and processes the question from the user's terminal device 2 (S13), and the evaluation unit 11e-2 analyzes the content of the received question and evaluates whether it is a question for the seminar, a question for another user, or just a comment (S14). Then, the question answer generation unit 11f-2 receives the question determined to be a question for the seminar by the question processing unit 11e among the questions from the user's terminal device 2, and generates an answer to the question based on the mathematical model and various data stored in the generation storage unit 16 (S15).

[0048] Subsequently, the answer reception processing unit 11e-3 receives the answer to the question generated by the question answer generation unit 11f-2, and through the lecture execution unit 11d-3 of the progress control unit 11d, processes so that the answer to the question is displayed or output as voice at the seminar execution terminal device 3 (S16). Then, for the question answer, the communication control unit 11b transmits the answer data (display / voice) of the question to the terminal device 3 (S17). At the seminar execution terminal device 3, the transmission / reception control unit 21b receives the answer data (display / voice) (S18), and under the control of the output control unit 21c, display by the display unit 23 and voice output by the voice output unit 25 are performed (S19). Thus, a series of processes are terminated.

[0049] As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, there are provided a receiving unit (11b) that receives seminar progress plan information and information related to a seminar content outline from a terminal device of a seminar organizer, a storage unit (13) that stores a mathematical model for generating a lecture text, a generating unit (11f) that receives information related to the seminar content outline and generates a lecture text based on the mathematical model stored in the storage unit, a progress control unit (11d) that manages the progress of the seminar based on a time table included in the seminar progress plan information and performs a process of allocating the lecture text to each segment of the subdivided progress plan, and controls the execution of the seminar so that display and voice output are performed on the terminal device based on the processed lecture content, and a transmitting unit (11b) that transmits seminar lecture data to a terminal device for seminar execution.

[0050] Therefore, it is possible to support the seminar from planning to actual progress.

[0051] Here, the receiving unit (11b) receives information related to a question from the user's terminal device, the storage unit (13) stores a mathematical model for generating an answer to the question, and further has a question processing unit (11e) that receives and processes information related to the question, analyzes the content of the received question, and evaluates whether it is a question for the seminar, a question for another user, or just a comment. The generating unit (11f) may receive a question determined to be a question for the seminar and generate an answer to the question based on the mathematical model stored in the storage unit. Therefore, according to this function, it is possible to support the handling of questions.

[0052] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited thereto and various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit thereof.
