Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0010] <Configuration of Advertising Message Generation System> FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an advertising message generation system 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the advertising message generation system 10 according to the present embodiment includes an ordering terminal 11, a server 12, a plurality of correcting terminals 14A, 14B, 14C,... a plurality of voting terminals 16A, 16B, 16C,... and a plurality of blockchain nodes 18A, 18B, 18C,.... Each device is communicably connected by a network N such as the Internet. In the following, the plurality of correcting terminals 14A, 14B, 14C,... are simply referred to as the correcting terminal 14, the plurality of voting terminals 16A, 16B, 16C,... are simply referred to as the voting terminal 16, and the plurality of blockchain nodes 18A, 18B, 18C,... are simply referred to as the blockchain node 18.

[0011] In the advertising message generation system 10, an advertising message for a product or service is created. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, when creating an advertising message for a product or service, a learned model that is a generative artificial intelligence (Generative Artificial Intelligence), a plurality of correctors U1, and a plurality of voters U2 create and select an advertising message.

[0012] Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 2, for a pre-generated trained model by a machine learning algorithm, by inputting information about a product or service, candidates for advertising messages are generated. The trained model of this embodiment is a so-called generative AI, which has learned excellent past Japanese advertising messages (catchphrases) and is adjusted for the purpose of developing Japanese creative writing. There may be one or more candidates for advertising messages. The information about the product or service includes at least one of, for example, information representing the category of the product or service and information regarding the consumer attributes of the product or service. The information representing the category is, for example, information such as food, clothing, and cosmetics, and may be more detailed classification information. Also, the information regarding the consumer is, for example, information such as men and women in their 20s, and may be more detailed classification information.

[0013] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the following four pieces of information are also input into the trained model as information about the product or service to generate candidates for advertising messages.

[0014] (1) In this embodiment, information regarding the usual psychological attributes and behavioral attributes of the target consumers is input into the trained model. For example, information regarding psychological attributes and behavioral attributes such as what kind of personality traits the consumers who purchase the target product or service have and what values they prioritize (such as prioritizing family or friends) is input into the trained model. For example, information such as "the target consumers are housewives who prioritize family and consider their children first" and "are concerned about rough skin" is input into the trained model. This makes it possible to generate candidates for advertising messages for consumers with the corresponding psychological attributes and behavioral attributes.

[0015] (2) In this embodiment, information on what attitude or behavior changes occur when a target consumer uses a target product or service (or brand), and the basis for such changes, i.e., the consumer's tendencies, is input into a learned model. For example, information such as "the skin becomes smooth" and "the waking-up feeling improves" is input into the learned model. This enables the generation of candidate advertising messages that resonate with consumers who desire their own attitude or behavior changes.

[0016] (3) In this embodiment, information regarding the tone aimed at by a product or service (or brand) is input into a learned model. Specifically, information such as whether the target product or service (or brand) is assertive or empathetic, bright or dark, emotional or inorganic is input into the learned model. This generates candidate advertising messages in line with the intentions of the order placer (specifically, the brand image) described later.

[0017] (4) In this embodiment, information such as the current status of the category to which a product or service belongs, its current position in what situation, and what it wants to achieve in Japan (future prospects) is input into a learned model. This generates candidate advertising messages according to the current situation of the target product or service and the intentions of the order placer.

[0018] In the above Patent Document 1, only the functional value of a product or service is emphasized. For example, in the learned estimation model, only functional information such as the size and taste of a product is input as evaluation items for the product. In contrast, in this embodiment, by inputting information as described above into the learned model, candidate advertising messages that emphasize emotional value are generated, and thus candidate advertising messages that resonate more with consumers are generated.

[0019] Next, as shown in FIG. 2, each of a plurality of revisers U1 creates a revised advertising message by revising the candidate advertising message.

[0020] Next, as shown in FIG. 2, each of a plurality of voters U2 determines which of the plurality of modified advertising messages is appropriate for the product or service targeted, and votes on the plurality of modified advertising messages.

[0021] Then, based on the voting results for the modified advertising messages, the final advertising message for the targeted product or service is determined.

[0022] For example, consider a case where there is a request (one case) for creating an advertising message for one product. In this case, for example, a prompt such as "Please generate 5 catchcopy ideas for Cosmetic A. Cosmetic A is a cosmetic for 〇〇, and the target consumers are women in their 30s to 50s. Also, the target consumers are housewives who value their families and prioritize their children. Also, the target consumers are concerned about rough skin. What kind of smooth skin effect can be expected when consumers use Cosmetic A. Also, the tone that Cosmetic A aims for is 〇〇. The current position of Cosmetic A in the market is 〇〇, but it aims for a state like 〇〇 as a future prospect." is input into the pre-trained model, and for example, 5 candidate advertising messages are generated.

[0023] Next, for example, each of 3 modifiers creates 15 modified advertising messages by modifying each of the 5 candidate advertising messages. Then, for example, 100 voters vote on the 15 modified advertising messages. For example, one voter votes for the modified advertising message that they think is the best among the 15 modified advertising messages. And the modified advertising message with the most votes is adopted as the final advertising message.

[0024] In addition, rewards are given in the above process. For example, a predetermined amount of cash or a predetermined number of points are given as rewards to the modifier who creates the modified advertisement message with the most votes. Also, for example, a predetermined amount of cash or a predetermined number of points are given as rewards to the voters who vote for the modified advertisement messages that have obtained the top 1 to 3 votes.

[0025] In addition, various data obtained in the process of creating the final advertisement message are stored in the blockchain held by the blockchain node 18. For example, as described above, the prompt, candidate advertisement messages, modified advertisement messages, final advertisement messages, voting results, information on the cash or points given to the modifiers, and information on the cash or points given to the voters are stored in the blockchain. This will be specifically described below.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, the server 12 functionally includes a candidate generation unit 120, a modification result acquisition unit 122, a voting result acquisition unit 124, and an output unit 126.

[0027] The server 12, the modification terminal 14, the voting terminal 16, and the blockchain node 18 can be realized, for example, by the computer 70 shown in FIG. 3. The computer 70 includes a CPU 71, a memory 72 as a temporary storage area, and a non-volatile storage unit 73. The computer 70 also includes an input / output interface (I / F) 74 to which an input / output device etc. (not shown) is connected, and a read / write (R / W) unit 75 that controls reading and writing of data to and from a recording medium. The computer 70 also includes a network I / F 76 connected to a network such as the Internet. The CPU 71, the memory 72, the storage unit 73, the input / output I / F 74, the R / W unit 75, and the network I / F 76 are connected to each other via a bus 77.

[0028] The storage unit 73 can be implemented by a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a flash memory, or the like. A program for operating the computer 70 is stored in the storage unit 73 as a storage medium. The CPU 71 reads the program from the storage unit 73, expands it in the memory 72, and sequentially executes the processes included in the program.

[0029] <Operations of the Advertising Message Generation System 10>

[0030] Next, the operations of the advertising message generation system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. Various operations of the advertising message generation system 10 can be realized by, for example, a program installable on a computer. Specifically, the server 12 can perform various operations related to the creation of advertising messages by pre-installing the program. The advertising message generation system 10 executes the sequence shown in FIG. 4.

[0031] In step S100, the ordering terminal 11 outputs a signal representing a request for creating an advertising message to the server 12. Specifically, an orderer who operates the ordering terminal 11 requests the creation of an advertising message for a product or service that the orderer wants to create an advertising message for. For example, the orderer who operates the ordering terminal 11 requests the server 12 to create an advertising message for a product or service by inputting various information into a predetermined input form displayed on a display unit (not shown) of the ordering terminal 11. For example, the input form includes at least one of the information related to the product or service as described above (for example, information representing the category of the product or service, information related to the consumers of the product or service, information representing the psychological attributes or behavioral attributes of the target consumers of the product or service, information representing what kind of attitude change or behavioral change occurs when the consumers use the product or service, information representing the tone aimed at by the product or service, and information representing the current situation or future prospect of the category to which the product or service belongs).

[0032] In step S102, the candidate generation unit 120 of the server 12 generates candidates for an advertising message for the target product or service based on the creation request output in step S100. Specifically, the candidate generation unit 120 of the server 12 acquires the received creation request for the advertising message. Then, information regarding the target product or service is input to a pre-generated learned model by machine learning. Candidates for an advertising message for the target product or service are output from the learned model. More specifically, the candidate generation unit 120 generates candidates for an advertising message for the product or service by inputting a prompt corresponding to the information regarding the product or service to a pre-created learned model for advertising message generation. For example, the candidate generation unit 120 of the server 12 causes a “Create Advertising Message Button” to be displayed on the display unit (not shown) of the ordering terminal 11, and in response to the “Create Advertising Message Button” being pressed by the orderer, inputs a prompt corresponding to the information regarding the product or service to a pre-created learned model for advertising message generation, thereby generating candidates for an advertising message for the product or service. As described above, the pre-created learned model for advertising message generation is, for example, a generative AI such as ChatGPT, and has learned excellent past Japanese advertising messages (catchphrases) and has been pre-adjusted for the purpose of developing Japanese creative writing.

[0033] In step S104, the candidate generation unit 120 of the server 12 presents the candidates for the advertising message generated in step S102 to the correction terminal 14. For example, the candidate generation unit 120 of the server 12 presents the candidates for the advertising message to the correction terminal 14 using a dedicated site (browser). For example, the candidates for the advertising message are presented only to the correction terminal 14 of a corrector who satisfies the conditions (e.g., the attributes of the target consumers) regarding the requested case among the pre-registered correctors.

[0034] Incidentally, the candidate generation unit 120 may extract a corrector, a candidate for corrector, a voter, or a candidate for voter from among a plurality of candidates based on information regarding a product or service. For example, if a result such as liking a certain product is obtained in a prior questionnaire, those who like the product may be extracted as a corrector, a candidate for corrector, a voter, or a candidate for voter.

[0035] Further, the candidate generation unit 120 may extract a corrector, a candidate for corrector, a voter, or a candidate for voter according to the degree of similarity between the attribute information indicating the attributes of each of the plurality of candidates and the information regarding the product or service. For example, when the consumers of a product or service are men in their 20s, a corrector, a candidate for corrector, a voter, or a candidate for voter who is a man in their 20s may be extracted from among the plurality of candidates.

[0036] In step S106, the plurality of correctors operate their correction terminals 14 to correct the advertisement message presented in step S104, thereby creating a corrected advertisement message.

[0037] In step S108, the correction result acquisition unit 122 of the server 12 acquires the plurality of corrected advertisement messages created in step S106.

[0038] In step S110, the candidate generation unit 120 of the server 12 presents the corrected advertisement messages acquired in step S108 to the voting terminal 16.

[0039] In step S112, the plurality of voters operate their voting terminals 16 to vote on the plurality of corrected advertisement messages presented in step S110.

[0040] In step S114, the voting result acquisition unit 124 of the server 12 acquires the voting result obtained in step S112. Based on the voting result, the voting result acquisition unit 124 of the server 12 determines the modified advertising message with the largest number of votes as the final advertising message for the product or service.

[0041] In step S114, the output unit 126 of the server 12 outputs the final advertising message determined in step S114 to the order terminal 11.

[0042] Next, the output unit 126 records in the blockchain the information on the product or service, the number of votes of the modifier who created the modified advertising message adopted as the final advertising message, and the information on the product or service for which the final advertising message was created.

[0043] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of information recorded in the blockchain held by the blockchain node 18. As shown in FIG. 5, as advertising message information, the information on the product or service, the final advertising message, the information of the modifier who created the modified advertising message adopted as the final advertising message, and the number of votes thereof are stored in a block in the blockchain.

[0044] By using this information stored in the blockchain, when creating an advertising message for another product or service next time, it will be possible to know which reviser is good to ask for revision. In addition, since the blockchain records categories or consumers as information about products or services, it will also be possible to know which reviser to request a revision from for any product or service. Also, by treating various data stored in the blockchain as big data, it is possible to select an appropriate reviser or voter for each requested case. For example, for a requested case, notifications are sent to, for example, dozens to hundreds of people who meet the conditions set for the case, and revisers or voters are selected in the order of arrival of those who wish.

[0045] Therefore, for example, the server 12 may refer to the above information recorded in the blockchain to select a reviser when creating an advertising message for a product or service next time. This enables the matching of the product or service with the creator of the advertising message.

[0046] Also, as described above, cash or points may be given to the reviser according to the number of votes obtained. In this case, for example, the blockchain stores information on cash or points as reviser information. These points can be used within this system or can be made available for use outside this system. This improves the motivation of the reviser, and it is expected that more appropriate advertising messages will be created. Also, as described above, cash or points may be given to the voter according to the ranking of the revised advertising message that the voter himself / herself voted for.

[0047] In addition, the output unit 126 may re-learn the above-mentioned learned model based on information about the product or service for which the final advertising message is created and the data recorded in the blockchain. As shown in FIG. 5, in the blockchain, information about the product or service and the final advertising message are associated and recorded. Therefore, by using this data to re-learn the learned model, it becomes possible to generate better candidates for advertising messages.

[0048] As described above, the server of the advertising message generation system according to the present embodiment generates candidates for advertising messages for products or services based on information about the products or services. Next, the server acquires, as a correction result for the candidates for advertising messages, a plurality of corrected advertising messages corrected by each of a plurality of corrector. Next, the server acquires, as a voting result for each of the plurality of corrected advertising messages, the voting result by each of a plurality of voters. Then, the server outputs, based on the voting result for the plurality of corrected advertising messages, at least one or more of the plurality of corrected advertising messages as the final advertising message for the product or service. Thereby, it is possible to obtain an advertising message that can be used to promote the sale of the product or service.

[0049] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0050] For example, in this embodiment, the case of generating candidates for advertising messages using a learned model has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and other methods may be used to generate candidates for advertising messages. For example, information on a product or service may be associated with candidates for advertising messages and stored in a database in advance. When information on a target product or service is received, candidates for advertising messages corresponding to the information may be read from the database to generate candidates for advertising messages.

[0051] In addition, the effects obtained by this embodiment are shown below.

[0052] As described above, the learned model used in this embodiment is a learned model that has been uniquely tuned. In addition, the learned model has learned excellent past Japanese catchphrases and has been adjusted for the purpose of developing Japanese creative writing. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to generate more appropriate candidates for advertising messages.

[0053] In addition, in this embodiment, it is possible to maintain the transparency of the creation process and the voting process of the advertising message and contribute to preventing forgery. In particular, the voting process is executed before the advertising message is announced, and a more appropriate advertising message is created by this voting process. As a result, the reliability and safety of the advertising message are improved.

[0054] In addition, as in this embodiment, having the target layer of the actual product or service participate as an extractor / editor from within the community in the advertising message generated by the learned model, which is a generative AI, is an innovative approach that is unprecedented in the industry. By directly involving the end consumer in the creation process of the advertising message, it becomes possible to produce more effective and empathic marketing content.

[0055] In addition, in the present embodiment, by the efficiency and speed provided by the learned model and the creative insights unique to humans (and even more unique to the target of the product or service) provided by the human community, it becomes possible to write in large quantities for each target more efficiently, and at the same time, it has a self-cleaning function of finding errors and plagiarism committed by the learned model.

[0056] In addition, in the present embodiment, by using the blockchain, it is possible to provide a significant differentiation from conventional copywriting solutions in terms of enhancing the transparency and reliability of the process of generating and evaluating advertising messages.

[0057] In addition, by awarding points recorded on the blockchain, it has become a point system that maintains the motivation of correctors and voters.

[0058] In addition, although the present specification has described an embodiment in which the program is pre-installed, it is also possible to store the program in a computer-readable recording medium and provide it.
