[0037] The present invention relates to a system that collects data on a user's income, expenses, savings goals, etc., and provides optimal household management advice based on that data. The system aims to be easy for users to use and to provide appropriate advice in real time.
[0038] System Configuration
[0039] User Interface (UI)
[0040] The device provides an interface through a dedicated application or a web browser, where users can input data on income, expenses, and savings goals. This UI features a graphical display and input form, and is designed to be intuitive for users to use.
[0041] data communication
[0042] The terminal converts the data entered by the user into a specific format and sends it to the server via a transmission function. The transmitted data is set to arrive at the server safely and quickly.
[0043] Data storage
[0044] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area and then transfers it to a database optimized for securely storing users' past transactions and household data.
[0045] Data analysis
[0046] The server's AI analysis module uses the stored data to generate optimal advice by referencing the user's current situation, past data, and market information. This analysis is performed using sophisticated machine learning algorithms and statistical models.
[0047] Generating and Sending Advice
[0048] The server generates specific household management advice based on the analysis results and formats it as response data. The generated advice data is then sent back to the device via the sending function.
[0049] User Notification
[0050] The device displays the received advice data on the UI and notifies the user in an intuitive manner, allowing the user to manage their household finances based on the suggested advice.
[0051] Specific examples
[0052] Suppose a user enters their monthly income of 500,000 yen, their monthly expenses of 350,000 yen, and their savings goal of 200,000 yen into an application form. This data is sent from the device to the server by pressing the send button.
[0053] The server first stores the received data in a database. Next, the AI analysis module uses this data to analyze the user's current balance and identify areas for improvement. For example, it generates advice such as, "To save 83,333 yen per month, reduce your eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan."
[0054] This advice is then sent back to the device, and the application screen displays, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you reduce your eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan." Based on this, users can review their household finances and take specific actions.
[0055] In this way, the system of the present invention collects data based on user input, analyzes it on the server, and notifies the terminal of optimal advice, thereby providing support to users in effectively managing their household finances.
[0056] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0057] Step 1:
[0058] A user opens a household management application and enters household data such as income, expenses, and savings goals into an input form.
[0059] Step 2:
[0060] The user checks the entered data and presses the "Submit" button.
[0061] Step 3:
[0062] The terminal converts the input data into a specific format (e.g., JSON), which includes information such as income, expenses, and savings goals.
[0063] Step 4:
[0064] The terminal transmits the converted data via a network communication module to send the data to the server.
[0065] Step 5:
[0066] The server receives the data sent from the terminal.
[0067] Step 6:
[0068] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area.
[0069] Step 7:
[0070] The server executes a save process to save the data saved in the buffer area to the database.
[0071] Step 8:
[0072] The server launches an AI analysis module to analyze the data stored in the database.
[0073] Step 9:
[0074] The server's AI analysis module uses the stored data to generate optimal household management advice, referring to the user's income and expenditure balance, past data, and even market information.
[0075] Step 10:
[0076] The server acquires the generated household management advice and formats it into response data for notifying the user.
[0077] Step 11:
[0078] The server executes a transmission process to transmit the formatted advice data to the terminal.
[0079] Step 12:
[0080] The terminal receives the advice data transmitted from the server.
[0081] Step 13:
[0082] The terminal analyzes the received advice data and converts it into a format for display on the user interface.
[0083] Step 14:
[0084] The device displays advice on the application screen such as, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest reducing your eating out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan."
[0085] Step 15:
[0086] The user checks the displayed advice and adjusts household management and saves money based on it.
[0087] In this way, at each processing step of the present system, the user, terminal, and server work together to collect data on income, expenses, and savings goals, generate optimal financial advice, and notify the user.

[0185] (Application example 1)
[0186] 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 smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0187] In modern household management, it is important to provide optimal advice using data such as income, expenses, and savings goals. However, conventional systems have difficulty providing specific, practical advice tailored to individual situations in real time based on the data entered by the user. In addition, they lack a mechanism to clearly present recommended actions to encourage users to manage their household finances.
[0188] 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.
[0189] In this invention, the server includes an input means for receiving data on income, expenses, and savings goals input by a user, a transmission means for transmitting the data from the input means to the server, a storage means in the server for storing the data received from the transmission means in a database, an analysis means in the server for analyzing the data stored in the storage means and generating optimal household management advice, and a notification means for displaying the household management advice generated by the analysis means on the user's terminal and notifying the user of recommended spending reduction methods and points to review in spending. This enables the user to receive specific advice in real time based on their income, expenses, and savings goals, and clearly show actionable actions, enabling effective household management.
[0190] "Input means" refers to a device or interface through which a user inputs data such as income, expenses, and savings goals.
[0191] "Transmission means" refers to a device or software having a function for transmitting data acquired from an input means to a server.

[0194] "Notification means" refers to a device or software that has the function of displaying the household management advice generated by the analysis means on the user's terminal and notifying the user of recommended ways to reduce expenses and points to review in expenses.
[0195] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates household management advice based on input data.
[0196] A "prompt sentence" is a text message generated to prompt the user to take a specific action, and refers to a short sentence that clearly presents the recommended action.
[0197] A system embodying this invention has the following configuration. First, an input means is provided for a user to input data such as income, expenses, and savings goals. This input means uses a terminal such as a smartphone or tablet. This allows the user to intuitively input data through an interface.
[0198] Next, the input data is sent to the server via a transmission means. This transmission means uses internet communication technology. Specifically, the data is encrypted using HTTPS and sent securely to the server.
[0199] The server has a storage method that stores data in a temporary buffer area and transfers it from there to a database. The database is optimized to efficiently manage users' past transactions and household data. Typical database systems used are MySQL and PostgreSQL.
[0200] The data stored on the server is analyzed using an analytical methodology that incorporates generative AI models and statistical models. The generative AI models use the Python libraries TensorFlow and Scikit-learn. The server uses these models to generate optimal financial management advice based on the user's income, expenses, and savings goals.
[0201] The generated household management advice is communicated to the user through notification methods, such as smartphone apps and web apps. Notifications within the app are sent via push notifications or displayed on the app's UI.
[0202] Furthermore, a specific prompt could be, "To save 83,333 yen per month, we recommend reducing your eating out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan." Based on this advice, users can review their behavior and achieve optimal household management.
[0203] As a concrete example, if a user inputs their income of "500,000 yen," their expenses of "350,000 yen," and their savings goal of "200,000 yen," this data is sent from the device to the server. Once the data is saved and analyzed on the server, advice is generated and sent to the device: "To save 83,333 yen per month, we recommend reducing your dining out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan." By following this prompt, the user can understand specific ways to save money and improve their household finances.
[0204] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0205] Step 1:
[0206] The user launches the application and enters data on income, expenses, and savings goals.
[0207] Input: A user enters revenue "500,000 yen", expenses "350,000 yen", and savings goal "200,000 yen" into an application form.
[0208] Output: The input data is temporarily stored in the device.
[0209] What it does: A user uses the touchscreen of a smartphone or tablet to enter data into an app form, which is then stored in temporary memory.
[0210] Step 2:
[0211] The terminal converts the input data into a specific format, encrypts it, and sends it to the server.
[0212] Input: The data entered by the user in step 1.
[0213] Output: The encrypted data is sent over the internet to a server.
[0214] Specific operation: The terminal uses the HTTPS protocol to convert data into a specific JSON format, encrypt it, and then send it to the server.
[0215] Step 3:
[0216] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area, and then stores it permanently in the database.
[0217] Input: The encrypted data sent in step 2.
[0218] Output: Raw data stored in a database.
[0219] What happens: The server receives the request, holds the data in temporary memory, and then stores the data using a database system (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL).
[0220] Step 4:
[0221] The server analyzes the data and generates optimal household management advice.
[0222] Input: Income, expenses, and savings goal data stored in a database.
[0223] Output: Financial management advice generated by the generative AI model.
[0224] Specific operation: The server uses Python libraries (TensorFlow and Scikit-learn) to analyze past data and market information. As a result of the analysis, it generates specific advice based on the data.
[0225] Step 5:
[0226] The generated household management advice is transmitted to the user's terminal.
[0227] Input: Parsed financial advice.
[0228] Output: Advice that will be displayed on the user's terminal.
[0229] Specific operation: The server formats the generated advice into JSON format as a prompt text, encrypts it again, and sends it to the terminal.
[0230] Step 6:
[0231] The device notifies the user of the advice it receives and displays specific ways to save money and recommended actions.
[0232] Input: Financial advice sent from the server.
[0233] Output: Advice displayed within the application: "To save ¥83,333 per month, we recommend reducing your dining out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan."
[0234] What it does: The device receives the encrypted data, decrypts it, and displays it to the user, using push notifications or the app's UI to grab the user's attention.
[0235] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0236] The present invention relates to a system that collects data on a user's income, expenses, savings goals, etc., and provides optimal household management advice based on that data. In addition, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, the system provides household management advice that corresponds to the user's emotional state.
[0237] System Configuration
[0238] User Interface (UI)
[0239] The device provides an interface through a dedicated application or a web browser, allowing users to input data on income, expenses, and savings goals. This UI is designed to be intuitive, with graphical displays and input forms. It also has an emotion recognition function that captures the user's voice and facial expressions to collect emotional data.
[0240] data communication
[0241] The device converts the data entered by the user and emotion data into a specific format (e.g., JSON) and sends it to the server via a transmission function. The transmitted data is set to arrive at the server safely and quickly.
[0242] Data storage
[0243] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area and then transfers it to a database optimized for securely storing users' past transactions and household data.
[0244] Data analysis
[0245] The server's AI analysis module generates optimal advice based on the stored data, taking into account the user's current situation, past data, and market information. In addition, the server analyzes emotional data received from the emotion engine and adjusts the advice based on the user's emotional state.
[0246] Generating and Sending Advice
[0247] The server generates specific household management advice based on the analysis results and formats it into response data to be notified to the user. The generated advice data is then sent back to the terminal via the sending function.
[0248] User Notification
[0249] The device displays the received advice data on the UI and notifies the user in an intuitive manner, allowing the user to manage their household finances based on the suggested advice.
[0250] Specific examples
[0251] Suppose a user enters their monthly income of "500,000 yen," their monthly expenses of "350,000 yen," and their "saving goal of 200,000 yen" into an application form. At the same time, the application captures the user's voice and facial expressions to collect emotional data. This data is sent from the device to the server when the user presses the send button.
[0252] The server first stores the received data in a database. Next, the AI analysis module uses this data to analyze the user's current income and expenditure balance and identify areas for improvement. The emotion engine also analyzes the captured emotional data and determines, for example, whether the user is feeling stressed. Based on this information, it generates advice such as, "Since this is a stressful time, you should set a reasonable savings goal."
[0253] This advice is then sent back to the device, and the application screen displays the following message: "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan. However, you seem to be stressed, so please be careful not to push yourself too hard." Based on this, users can review their household finances and take specific action.
[0254] In this way, the system of the present invention collects data based on user input, analyzes it on the server, and notifies the terminal of optimal advice, thereby supporting the user in effectively managing their household finances. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide flexible advice according to the user's emotional state.
[0255] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0256] Step 1:
[0257] A user opens a financial management application and enters data such as income, expenses, and savings goals into an input form, while their voice and facial expressions are simultaneously captured.
[0258] Step 2:
[0259] The device generates emotion data based on the user's input data on income, expenses, and savings goals, as well as captured voice and facial expressions.
[0260] Step 3:
[0261] The user confirms that the input data and emotion data have been sent, and then presses the "Send" button.
[0262] Step 4:
[0263] The device converts the income, expenditure, savings goal, and emotional state data into a specific format (e.g., JSON format). This format includes income, expenditure, savings goal, emotional state, etc.
[0264] Step 5:
[0265] The terminal transmits the data via a network communication module to transmit the formatted data to a server.
[0266] Step 6:
[0267] The server receives the data sent from the terminal.
[0268] Step 7:
[0269] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area.
[0270] Step 8:
[0271] The server executes a database save process to save the data in the buffer area to the database.
[0272] Step 9:
[0273] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the user's balance based on income, expenditure, and savings goal data stored in the database.
[0274] Step 10:
[0275] The server's emotion engine analyzes the emotion data stored in the database to identify the user's emotional state. For example, it can determine whether the user is feeling stressed based on voice data and facial expressions.
[0276] Step 11:
[0277] The server's AI analysis module integrates the results of the income and expenditure balance analysis and the emotion engine to generate optimal household management advice.
[0278] Step 12:
[0279] The server formats the generated financial advice as response data, which includes specific savings suggestions and cautions based on the user's emotional state.
[0280] Step 13:
[0281] The server executes a transmission process to transmit the formatted advice data to the terminal.
[0282] Step 14:
[0283] The terminal receives the advice data transmitted from the server.
[0284] Step 15:
[0285] The terminal analyzes the received advice data and converts it into a format for display on the user interface.
[0286] Step 16:
[0287] The device displays advice on the application screen such as, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you reduce your eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan. However, since you seem to be stressed, please be careful not to push yourself too hard."
[0288] Step 17:
[0289] The user checks the displayed advice and adjusts household management and saves money based on it.
[0290] In this way, the system of the present invention generates optimal advice on the server based on the user's input data and emotional data, and notifies the user via the terminal. By combining emotion engines, flexible advice is provided that takes into account the user's emotional state.
[0291] Example 2
[0292] 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 smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0293] Conventional household management systems only handle basic data such as a user's income, expenses, and savings goals, and are unable to provide advice that takes into account the user's emotions and psychological state. As a result, they ignore the impact of stress and emotional fluctuations on household management, resulting in insufficient effectiveness. Furthermore, they are insufficient in accurately analyzing data and personalizing advice, making it difficult to provide appropriate guidance tailored to each user's individual situation.
[0294] 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.

[0303] The "notification means" refers to a device or means for notifying the user of the household management advice adjusted by the adjustment means.
[0304] A "database" refers to a structure that organizes information to efficiently store and manage user data and retrieve it when needed.
[0305] "Emotional data" refers to information about the user's psychological state and emotions analyzed from their voice, facial expressions, etc.
[0306] "Financial advice" refers to specific guidance and suggestions for improving financial management based on a user's income, expenses, savings goals, and emotional data.
[0307] The present invention relates to a system that collects data such as a user's income, expenses, and savings goals, and provides optimal household management advice based on that data. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, the system provides household management advice according to the user's emotional state. Specific embodiments for carrying out the invention are described below.
[0308] System Configuration
[0309] User Interface (UI)
[0310] The device provides an interface for entering data on income, expenses, and savings goals through a dedicated application or a web browser. This UI features a graphical display and an input form that users can operate intuitively. In addition, the device has an emotion recognition function that captures voice and facial expressions via a camera and microphone to collect emotional data.
[0311] data communication
[0312] The terminal converts the data entered by the user about income, expenses, and savings goals into a specific format (e.g., JSON), which is then securely and quickly transmitted to the server via HTTP or HTTPS protocols.
[0313] Data storage
[0314] The server first stores the received data in a temporary buffer area. This data is then transferred to a database and saved as the user's household data. The database is managed using a general-purpose relational database management system (RDBMS), such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
[0315] Data analysis
[0316] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the user's balance based on data stored in the database, such as income, expenses, and savings goals. The emotion engine also analyzes the emotional data and adjusts advice based on the user's emotional state. The analysis utilizes generative AI models such as TensorFlow and PyTorch.
[0317] Generating and Sending Advice
[0318] The server generates specific household management advice based on the analysis results, which is then converted back to JSON format and sent to the device as a response.
[0319] User Notification
[0320] The device displays the received advice data on the UI and notifies the user in an intuitive manner. Notifications can be pop-up or push notifications, allowing the user to effectively manage their household finances based on the suggested advice.
[0321] Specific examples
[0322] For example, if a user enters the following data into a form in your application:
[0323] Monthly income: 500,000 yen
[0324] Monthly expenses: 350,000 yen
[0325] Savings goal: "200,000 yen"
[0326] At the same time, voice and facial expression data is collected through the device's camera and microphone, and analyzed as emotional data. This data is then sent from the device to the server by pressing the send button.
[0327] The server first temporarily stores the data, then transfers it to a database for storage. The AI analysis module analyzes the balance of income and expenditure, and the emotion engine determines the user's stress level, etc. Based on this information, the system generates advice such as "Set a reasonable savings goal."
[0328] The generated advice is sent to the terminal in the following format, for example:
[0329] "To save ¥83,333 each month, I suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your cell phone plan. However, since you seem stressed, I'd like to caution you to not push yourself too hard."
[0330] This advice is displayed on the device's UI, allowing users to review their household finances and take concrete action based on it.
[0331] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0332] "Generate optimal household management advice based on data such as monthly income of 500,000 yen, expenses of 350,000 yen, and savings goal of 200,000 yen, as well as emotional information about the user's stress levels."
[0333] In this way, the system of the present invention can support more effective household management by providing personalized household management advice based on the user's input data and emotional state.
[0334] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0335] Step 1:
[0336] The user enters data on income, expenses, and savings goals into a form on the application or web browser via the device. Specifically, the user enters income "500,000 yen," expenses "350,000 yen," and savings goal "200,000 yen" into each field and presses the submit button. At this time, the device's camera and microphone are used to capture the user's voice and facial expressions, and emotional data is also collected. The entered data and emotional data are obtained as input.
[0337] Step 2:
[0338] The terminal converts the data entered by the user into JSON format using a conversion algorithm within the terminal to format the data as JSON, like this:
[0339] json
[0340] {
[0341] "income": 500000,
[0342] "expenses": 350000,
[0343] "savings_goal": 200000,
[0344] "emotion_data": {"stress_level": "high"}
[0345] }
[0346] This JSON data is obtained as the output after conversion.
[0347] Step 3:
[0348] The terminal sends the converted data to the server using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. Specifically, the terminal generates an HTTP request and attaches JSON data to the request. The sent data is received as input by the server.
[0349] Step 4:
[0350] The server first stores the received data in a temporary buffer area. Specifically, the server writes the data to a temporary storage area within the server. The temporarily stored data becomes the input for the next step.
[0351] Step 5:
[0352] The server transfers the temporarily saved data to the database and stores it. Specifically, it adds the data to the database using the INSERT command. This operation saves the user's household data to the database. The saved data becomes the input data for the next analysis.
[0353] Step 6:
[0354] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the data stored in the database. Specifically, it uses a generative AI model (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch) to analyze the balance, and the emotion engine analyzes the emotional data. This analysis outputs the user's possible balance, and the analysis results serve as the basis for generating the next advice.
[0355] Step 7:
[0356] The server generates household management advice based on the analysis results. Specifically, it uses an advice generation algorithm to generate specific advice such as "To save 83,333 yen per month, reduce eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan." This generated advice is output as the next data to be sent.
[0357] Step 8:
[0358] The server formats the generated advice in JSON format and sends it to the terminal as an HTTP response. Specifically, the response is sent in the following JSON format:
[0359] json
[0360] {
[0361] "advice": "To save ¥83,333 each month, I suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your cell phone plan. However, since you seem stressed, I'd like to caution you to not push yourself too hard."
[0362] }
[0363] This JSON data is received by the terminal and used for the next display process.
[0364] Step 9:
[0365] The device displays the received advice data to the user. Specifically, the advice is displayed within the application UI. Pop-ups and push notifications are used to make the advice easily available to the user. The user can review their household management based on this advice and take specific actions.
[0366] (Application example 2)
[0367] 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."
[0368] Today, users face many challenges when managing their household finances. In particular, it is difficult to receive appropriate advice on how to achieve savings goals while balancing income and expenses. Users may also feel stressed because the advice provided is not flexible enough to reflect their emotional state. Furthermore, the lack of advice that takes savings goals into account when shopping on online shopping sites makes it difficult to plan consumption behavior. There is a need for a system that can solve these issues and enable users to manage their household finances more effectively.
[0369] 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.
[0370] In this invention, the server includes an input means for receiving data on income, expenses, and savings goals input by a user, a transmission means for transmitting the data and emotional data from the input means to the server, a storage means for storing the data received from the transmission means in a database in the server, an analysis means for analyzing the data and emotional data stored in the storage means in the server and generating optimal household management advice, a notification means for notifying the user of the household management advice generated by the analysis means, and a display means for presenting the savings goal on the user's terminal when purchasing a product. This makes it possible to comprehensively analyze the user's income, expenses, savings goals, and emotional data and provide flexible household management advice tailored to the user's emotional state. Furthermore, by providing advice that takes savings goals into consideration when shopping on an online shopping site, the user can plan their consumption behavior and achieve effective household management.
[0371] "Revenue" refers to the monetary benefit a user receives within a certain period of time.
[0372] "Expenses" refers to the total amount of money a user spends within a certain period of time.
[0373] A "savings goal" refers to the amount of spending reduction a user wants to achieve within a certain period of time.
[0374] "Input means" refers to a device or interface through which a user inputs income, expenses, savings goals, and emotional data into the system.
[0375] "Transmission means" refers to a device or software that has the function of transmitting data acquired from the input means to the server.

[0395] Income: 500,000 yen
[0396] Expenses: 350,000 yen
[0397] Savings goal: ¥200,000
[0398] At the same time, the application captures the user's voice and facial expressions to collect emotional data. This data is sent from the device to the server when the user presses the send button. The server analyzes the received data and, if it determines that the user is feeling stressed, generates advice suggesting, "This is a stressful time, so set a savings goal within your limits." This advice is sent back to the device and displays, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you reduce your dining out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan. However, since you seem to be stressed, please be careful not to overdo it."
[0399] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0491] The server launches an AI analysis module to analyze the data stored in the database.
[0492] Step 9:
[0493] The server's AI analysis module uses the stored data to generate optimal household management advice, referring to the user's income and expenditure balance, past data, and even market information.
[0494] Step 10:
[0495] The server acquires the generated household management advice and formats it into response data for notifying the user.
[0496] Step 11:
[0497] The server executes a transmission process to transmit the formatted advice data to the terminal.
[0498] Step 12:
[0499] The terminal receives the advice data transmitted from the server.
[0500] Step 13:
[0501] The terminal analyzes the received advice data and converts it into a format for display on the user interface.
[0502] Step 14:
[0503] The device displays advice on the application screen such as, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest reducing your eating out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan."
[0504] Step 15:
[0505] The user checks the displayed advice and adjusts household management and saves money based on it.

[0604] (Application example 1)
[0605] 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 smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0606] In modern household management, it is important to provide optimal advice using data such as income, expenses, and savings goals. However, conventional systems have difficulty providing specific, practical advice tailored to individual situations in real time based on the data entered by the user. In addition, they lack a mechanism to clearly present recommended actions to encourage users to manage their household finances.
[0607] 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.
[0608] In this invention, the server includes an input means for receiving data on income, expenses, and savings goals input by a user, a transmission means for transmitting the data from the input means to the server, a storage means in the server for storing the data received from the transmission means in a database, an analysis means in the server for analyzing the data stored in the storage means and generating optimal household management advice, and a notification means for displaying the household management advice generated by the analysis means on the user's terminal and notifying the user of recommended spending reduction methods and points to review in spending. This enables the user to receive specific advice in real time based on their income, expenses, and savings goals, and clearly show actionable actions, enabling effective household management.
[0609] "Input means" refers to a device or interface through which a user inputs data such as income, expenses, and savings goals.
[0610] "Transmission means" refers to a device or software having a function for transmitting data acquired from an input means to a server.
[0611] "Storage means" refers to a function for safely and efficiently storing data sent to the server in a database.
[0612] "Analysis means" refers to an analysis system including machine learning algorithms and statistical models for generating optimal household management advice based on the data stored in the storage means.
[0613] "Notification means" refers to a device or software that has the function of displaying the household management advice generated by the analysis means on the user's terminal and notifying the user of recommended ways to reduce expenses and points to review in expenses.
[0614] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates household management advice based on input data.
[0615] A "prompt sentence" is a text message generated to prompt the user to take a specific action, and refers to a short sentence that clearly presents the recommended action.
[0616] A system embodying this invention has the following configuration. First, an input means is provided for a user to input data such as income, expenses, and savings goals. This input means uses a terminal such as a smartphone or tablet. This allows the user to intuitively input data through an interface.
[0617] Next, the input data is sent to the server via a transmission means. This transmission means uses internet communication technology. Specifically, the data is encrypted using HTTPS and sent securely to the server.
[0618] The server has a storage method that stores data in a temporary buffer area and transfers it from there to a database. The database is optimized to efficiently manage users' past transactions and household data. Typical database systems used are MySQL and PostgreSQL.
[0619] The data stored on the server is analyzed using an analytical methodology that incorporates generative AI models and statistical models. The generative AI models use the Python libraries TensorFlow and Scikit-learn. The server uses these models to generate optimal financial management advice based on the user's income, expenses, and savings goals.
[0620] The generated household management advice is communicated to the user through notification methods, such as smartphone apps and web apps. Notifications within the app are sent via push notifications or displayed on the app's UI.
[0621] Furthermore, a specific prompt could be, "To save 83,333 yen per month, we recommend reducing your eating out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan." Based on this advice, users can review their behavior and achieve optimal household management.
[0622] As a concrete example, if a user inputs their income of "500,000 yen," their expenses of "350,000 yen," and their savings goal of "200,000 yen," this data is sent from the device to the server. Once the data is saved and analyzed on the server, advice is generated and sent to the device: "To save 83,333 yen per month, we recommend reducing your dining out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan." By following this prompt, the user can understand specific ways to save money and improve their household finances.
[0623] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0624] Step 1:
[0625] The user launches the application and enters data on income, expenses, and savings goals.
[0626] Input: A user enters revenue "500,000 yen", expenses "350,000 yen", and savings goal "200,000 yen" into an application form.
[0627] Output: The input data is temporarily stored in the device.

[0631] Input: The data entered by the user in step 1.
[0632] Output: The encrypted data is sent over the internet to a server.
[0633] Specific operation: The terminal uses the HTTPS protocol to convert data into a specific JSON format, encrypt it, and then send it to the server.
[0634] Step 3:
[0635] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area, and then stores it permanently in the database.
[0636] Input: The encrypted data sent in step 2.
[0637] Output: Raw data stored in a database.
[0638] What happens: The server receives the request, holds the data in temporary memory, and then stores the data using a database system (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL).
[0639] Step 4:
[0640] The server analyzes the data and generates optimal household management advice.
[0641] Input: Income, expenses, and savings goal data stored in a database.
[0642] Output: Financial management advice generated by the generative AI model.
[0643] Specific operation: The server uses Python libraries (TensorFlow and Scikit-learn) to analyze past data and market information. As a result of the analysis, it generates specific advice based on the data.
[0644] Step 5:
[0645] The generated household management advice is transmitted to the user's terminal.
[0646] Input: Parsed financial advice.
[0647] Output: Advice that will be displayed on the user's terminal.
[0648] Specific operation: The server formats the generated advice into JSON format as a prompt text, encrypts it again, and sends it to the terminal.
[0649] Step 6:
[0650] The device notifies the user of the advice it receives and displays specific ways to save money and recommended actions.
[0651] Input: Financial advice sent from the server.
[0652] Output: Advice displayed within the application: "To save ¥83,333 per month, we recommend reducing your dining out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan."
[0653] What it does: The device receives the encrypted data, decrypts it, and displays it to the user, using push notifications or the app's UI to grab the user's attention.
[0654] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0655] The present invention relates to a system that collects data on a user's income, expenses, savings goals, etc., and provides optimal household management advice based on that data. In addition, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, the system provides household management advice that corresponds to the user's emotional state.

[0670] Suppose a user enters their monthly income of "500,000 yen," their monthly expenses of "350,000 yen," and their "saving goal of 200,000 yen" into an application form. At the same time, the application captures the user's voice and facial expressions to collect emotional data. This data is sent from the device to the server when the user presses the send button.
[0671] The server first stores the received data in a database. Next, the AI analysis module uses this data to analyze the user's current income and expenditure balance and identify areas for improvement. The emotion engine also analyzes the captured emotional data and determines, for example, whether the user is feeling stressed. Based on this information, it generates advice such as, "Since this is a stressful time, you should set a reasonable savings goal."
[0672] This advice is then sent back to the device, and the application screen displays the following message: "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan. However, you seem to be stressed, so please be careful not to push yourself too hard." Based on this, users can review their household finances and take specific action.
[0673] In this way, the system of the present invention collects data based on user input, analyzes it on the server, and notifies the terminal of optimal advice, thereby supporting the user in effectively managing their household finances. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide flexible advice according to the user's emotional state.
[0674] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0675] Step 1:
[0676] A user opens a financial management application and enters data such as income, expenses, and savings goals into an input form, while their voice and facial expressions are simultaneously captured.
[0677] Step 2:
[0678] The device generates emotion data based on the user's input data on income, expenses, and savings goals, as well as captured voice and facial expressions.
[0679] Step 3:
[0680] The user confirms that the input data and emotion data have been sent, and then presses the "Send" button.
[0681] Step 4:
[0682] The device converts the income, expenditure, savings goal, and emotional state data into a specific format (e.g., JSON format). This format includes income, expenditure, savings goal, emotional state, etc.
[0683] Step 5:
[0684] The terminal transmits the data via a network communication module to transmit the formatted data to a server.
[0685] Step 6:
[0686] The server receives the data sent from the terminal.
[0687] Step 7:
[0688] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area.
[0689] Step 8:
[0690] The server executes a database save process to save the data in the buffer area to the database.
[0691] Step 9:
[0692] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the user's balance based on income, expenditure, and savings goal data stored in the database.
[0693] Step 10:
[0694] The server's emotion engine analyzes the emotion data stored in the database to identify the user's emotional state. For example, it can determine whether the user is feeling stressed based on voice data and facial expressions.
[0695] Step 11:
[0696] The server's AI analysis module integrates the results of the income and expenditure balance analysis and the emotion engine to generate optimal household management advice.
[0697] Step 12:
[0698] The server formats the generated financial advice as response data, which includes specific savings suggestions and cautions based on the user's emotional state.
[0699] Step 13:
[0700] The server executes a transmission process to transmit the formatted advice data to the terminal.
[0701] Step 14:
[0702] The terminal receives the advice data transmitted from the server.
[0703] Step 15:
[0704] The terminal analyzes the received advice data and converts it into a format for display on the user interface.
[0705] Step 16:
[0706] The device displays advice on the application screen such as, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you reduce your eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan. However, since you seem to be stressed, please be careful not to push yourself too hard."
[0707] Step 17:
[0708] The user checks the displayed advice and adjusts household management and saves money based on it.
[0709] In this way, the system of the present invention generates optimal advice on the server based on the user's input data and emotional data, and notifies the user via the terminal. By combining emotion engines, flexible advice is provided that takes into account the user's emotional state.
[0710] Example 2
[0711] 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 smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0712] Conventional household management systems only handle basic data such as a user's income, expenses, and savings goals, and are unable to provide advice that takes into account the user's emotions and psychological state. As a result, they ignore the impact of stress and emotional fluctuations on household management, resulting in insufficient effectiveness. Furthermore, they are insufficient in accurately analyzing data and personalizing advice, making it difficult to provide appropriate guidance tailored to each user's individual situation.
[0713] 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.

[0722] The "notification means" refers to a device or means for notifying the user of the household management advice adjusted by the adjustment means.
[0723] A "database" refers to a structure that organizes information to efficiently store and manage user data and retrieve it when needed.
[0724] "Emotional data" refers to information about the user's psychological state and emotions analyzed from their voice, facial expressions, etc.
[0725] "Financial advice" refers to specific guidance and suggestions for improving financial management based on a user's income, expenses, savings goals, and emotional data.
[0726] The present invention relates to a system that collects data such as a user's income, expenses, and savings goals, and provides optimal household management advice based on that data. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, the system provides household management advice according to the user's emotional state. Specific embodiments for carrying out the invention are described below.
[0727] System Configuration
[0728] User Interface (UI)
[0729] The device provides an interface for entering data on income, expenses, and savings goals through a dedicated application or a web browser. This UI features a graphical display and an input form that users can operate intuitively. In addition, the device has an emotion recognition function that captures voice and facial expressions via a camera and microphone to collect emotional data.
[0730] data communication
[0731] The terminal converts the data entered by the user about income, expenses, and savings goals into a specific format (e.g., JSON), which is then securely and quickly transmitted to the server via HTTP or HTTPS protocols.
[0732] Data storage
[0733] The server first stores the received data in a temporary buffer area. This data is then transferred to a database and saved as the user's household data. The database is managed using a general-purpose relational database management system (RDBMS), such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
[0734] Data analysis
[0735] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the user's balance based on data stored in the database, such as income, expenses, and savings goals. The emotion engine also analyzes the emotional data and adjusts advice based on the user's emotional state. The analysis utilizes generative AI models such as TensorFlow and PyTorch.
[0736] Generating and Sending Advice
[0737] The server generates specific household management advice based on the analysis results, which is then converted back to JSON format and sent to the device as a response.
[0738] User Notification
[0739] The device displays the received advice data on the UI and notifies the user in an intuitive manner. Notifications can be pop-up or push notifications, allowing the user to effectively manage their household finances based on the suggested advice.
[0740] Specific examples
[0741] For example, if a user enters the following data into a form in your application:
[0742] Monthly income: 500,000 yen
[0743] Monthly expenses: 350,000 yen
[0744] Savings goal: "200,000 yen"
[0745] At the same time, voice and facial expression data is collected through the device's camera and microphone, and analyzed as emotional data. This data is then sent from the device to the server by pressing the send button.
[0746] The server first temporarily stores the data, then transfers it to a database for storage. The AI analysis module analyzes the balance of income and expenditure, and the emotion engine determines the user's stress level, etc. Based on this information, the system generates advice such as "Set a reasonable savings goal."
[0747] The generated advice is sent to the terminal in the following format, for example:
[0748] "To save ¥83,333 each month, I suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your cell phone plan. However, since you seem stressed, I'd like to caution you to not push yourself too hard."
[0749] This advice is displayed on the device's UI, allowing users to review their household finances and take concrete action based on it.
[0750] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0751] "Generate optimal household management advice based on data such as monthly income of 500,000 yen, expenses of 350,000 yen, and savings goal of 200,000 yen, as well as emotional information about the user's stress levels."
[0752] In this way, the system of the present invention can support more effective household management by providing personalized household management advice based on the user's input data and emotional state.
[0753] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0754] Step 1:
[0755] The user enters data on income, expenses, and savings goals into a form on the application or web browser via the device. Specifically, the user enters income "500,000 yen," expenses "350,000 yen," and savings goal "200,000 yen" into each field and presses the submit button. At this time, the device's camera and microphone are used to capture the user's voice and facial expressions, and emotional data is also collected. The entered data and emotional data are obtained as input.
[0756] Step 2:
[0757] The terminal converts the data entered by the user into JSON format using a conversion algorithm within the terminal to format the data as JSON, like this:
[0758] json
[0759] {
[0760] "income": 500000,
[0761] "expenses": 350000,
[0762] "savings_goal": 200000,
[0763] "emotion_data": {"stress_level": "high"}
[0764] }
[0765] This JSON data is obtained as the output after conversion.
[0766] Step 3:
[0767] The terminal sends the converted data to the server using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. Specifically, the terminal generates an HTTP request and attaches JSON data to the request. The sent data is received as input by the server.
[0768] Step 4:
[0769] The server first stores the received data in a temporary buffer area. Specifically, the server writes the data to a temporary storage area within the server. The temporarily stored data becomes the input for the next step.
[0770] Step 5:
[0771] The server transfers the temporarily saved data to the database and stores it. Specifically, it adds the data to the database using the INSERT command. This operation saves the user's household data to the database. The saved data becomes the input data for the next analysis.
[0772] Step 6:
[0773] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the data stored in the database. Specifically, it uses a generative AI model (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch) to analyze the balance, and the emotion engine analyzes the emotional data. This analysis outputs the user's possible balance, and the analysis results serve as the basis for generating the next advice.
[0774] Step 7:
[0775] The server generates household management advice based on the analysis results. Specifically, it uses an advice generation algorithm to generate specific advice such as "To save 83,333 yen per month, reduce eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan." This generated advice is output as the next data to be sent.
[0776] Step 8:
[0777] The server formats the generated advice in JSON format and sends it to the terminal as an HTTP response. Specifically, the response is sent in the following JSON format:
[0778] json
[0779] {
[0780] "advice": "To save ¥83,333 each month, I suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your cell phone plan. However, since you seem stressed, I'd like to caution you to not push yourself too hard."
[0781] }
[0782] This JSON data is received by the terminal and used for the next display process.
[0783] Step 9:
[0784] The device displays the received advice data to the user. Specifically, the advice is displayed within the application UI. Pop-ups and push notifications are used to make the advice easily available to the user. The user can review their household management based on this advice and take specific actions.
[0785] (Application example 2)
[0786] 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."
[0787] Today, users face many challenges when managing their household finances. In particular, it is difficult to receive appropriate advice on how to achieve savings goals while balancing income and expenses. Users may also feel stressed because the advice provided is not flexible enough to reflect their emotional state. Furthermore, the lack of advice that takes savings goals into account when shopping on online shopping sites makes it difficult to plan consumption behavior. There is a need for a system that can solve these issues and enable users to manage their household finances more effectively.
[0788] 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.
[0789] In this invention, the server includes an input means for receiving data on income, expenses, and savings goals input by a user, a transmission means for transmitting the data and emotional data from the input means to the server, a storage means for storing the data received from the transmission means in a database in the server, an analysis means for analyzing the data and emotional data stored in the storage means in the server and generating optimal household management advice, a notification means for notifying the user of the household management advice generated by the analysis means, and a display means for presenting the savings goal on the user's terminal when purchasing a product. This makes it possible to comprehensively analyze the user's income, expenses, savings goals, and emotional data and provide flexible household management advice tailored to the user's emotional state. Furthermore, by providing advice that takes savings goals into consideration when shopping on an online shopping site, the user can plan their consumption behavior and achieve effective household management.

[0814] Income: 500,000 yen
[0815] Expenses: 350,000 yen
[0816] Savings goal: ¥200,000
[0817] At the same time, the application captures the user's voice and facial expressions to collect emotional data. This data is sent from the device to the server when the user presses the send button. The server analyzes the received data and, if it determines that the user is feeling stressed, generates advice suggesting, "This is a stressful time, so set a savings goal within your limits." This advice is sent back to the device and displays, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you reduce your dining out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan. However, since you seem to be stressed, please be careful not to overdo it."

[0880] The terminal converts the data entered by the user into a specific format and sends it to the server via a transmission function. The transmitted data is set to arrive at the server safely and quickly.
[0881] Data storage
[0882] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area and then transfers it to a database optimized for securely storing users' past transactions and household data.
[0883] Data analysis
[0884] The server's AI analysis module uses the stored data to generate optimal advice by referencing the user's current situation, past data, and market information. This analysis is performed using sophisticated machine learning algorithms and statistical models.
[0885] Generating and Sending Advice
[0886] The server generates specific household management advice based on the analysis results and formats it as response data. The generated advice data is then sent back to the device via the sending function.
[0887] User Notification
[0888] The device displays the received advice data on the UI and notifies the user in an intuitive manner, allowing the user to manage their household finances based on the suggested advice.
[0889] Specific examples
[0890] Suppose a user enters their monthly income of 500,000 yen, their monthly expenses of 350,000 yen, and their savings goal of 200,000 yen into an application form. This data is sent from the device to the server by pressing the send button.
[0891] The server first stores the received data in a database. Next, the AI analysis module uses this data to analyze the user's current balance and identify areas for improvement. For example, it generates advice such as, "To save 83,333 yen per month, reduce your eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan."
[0892] This advice is then sent back to the device, and the application screen displays, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you reduce your eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan." Based on this, users can review their household finances and take specific actions.
[0893] In this way, the system of the present invention collects data based on user input, analyzes it on the server, and notifies the terminal of optimal advice, thereby providing support to users in effectively managing their household finances.
[0894] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0895] Step 1:
[0896] A user opens a household management application and enters household data such as income, expenses, and savings goals into an input form.
[0897] Step 2:
[0898] The user checks the entered data and presses the "Submit" button.
[0899] Step 3:
[0900] The terminal converts the input data into a specific format (e.g., JSON), which includes information such as income, expenses, and savings goals.
[0901] Step 4:
[0902] The terminal transmits the converted data via a network communication module to send the data to the server.
[0903] Step 5:
[0904] The server receives the data sent from the terminal.
[0905] Step 6:
[0906] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area.
[0907] Step 7:
[0908] The server executes a save process to save the data saved in the buffer area to the database.
[0909] Step 8:
[0910] The server launches an AI analysis module to analyze the data stored in the database.
[0911] Step 9:
[0912] The server's AI analysis module uses the stored data to generate optimal household management advice, referring to the user's income and expenditure balance, past data, and even market information.
[0913] Step 10:
[0914] The server acquires the generated household management advice and formats it into response data for notifying the user.
[0915] Step 11:
[0916] The server executes a transmission process to transmit the formatted advice data to the terminal.
[0917] Step 12:
[0918] The terminal receives the advice data transmitted from the server.
[0919] Step 13:
[0920] The terminal analyzes the received advice data and converts it into a format for display on the user interface.
[0921] Step 14:
[0922] The device displays advice on the application screen such as, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest reducing your eating out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan."
[0923] Step 15:
[0924] The user checks the displayed advice and adjusts household management and saves money based on it.
[0925] In this way, at each processing step of the present system, the user, terminal, and server work together to collect data on income, expenses, and savings goals, generate optimal financial advice, and notify the user.

[1023] (Application example 1)
[1024] 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."
[1025] In modern household management, it is important to provide optimal advice using data such as income, expenses, and savings goals. However, conventional systems have difficulty providing specific, practical advice tailored to individual situations in real time based on the data entered by the user. In addition, they lack a mechanism to clearly present recommended actions to encourage users to manage their household finances.
[1026] 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.
[1027] In this invention, the server includes an input means for receiving data on income, expenses, and savings goals input by a user, a transmission means for transmitting the data from the input means to the server, a storage means in the server for storing the data received from the transmission means in a database, an analysis means in the server for analyzing the data stored in the storage means and generating optimal household management advice, and a notification means for displaying the household management advice generated by the analysis means on the user's terminal and notifying the user of recommended spending reduction methods and points to review in spending. This enables the user to receive specific advice in real time based on their income, expenses, and savings goals, and clearly show actionable actions, enabling effective household management.
[1028] "Input means" refers to a device or interface through which a user inputs data such as income, expenses, and savings goals.
[1029] "Transmission means" refers to a device or software having a function for transmitting data acquired from an input means to a server.
[1030] "Storage means" refers to a function for safely and efficiently storing data sent to the server in a database.
[1031] "Analysis means" refers to an analysis system including machine learning algorithms and statistical models for generating optimal household management advice based on the data stored in the storage means.
[1032] "Notification means" refers to a device or software that has the function of displaying the household management advice generated by the analysis means on the user's terminal and notifying the user of recommended ways to reduce expenses and points to review in expenses.
[1033] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates household management advice based on input data.
[1034] A "prompt sentence" is a text message generated to prompt the user to take a specific action, and refers to a short sentence that clearly presents the recommended action.
[1035] A system embodying this invention has the following configuration. First, an input means is provided for a user to input data such as income, expenses, and savings goals. This input means uses a terminal such as a smartphone or tablet. This allows the user to intuitively input data through an interface.
[1036] Next, the input data is sent to the server via a transmission means. This transmission means uses internet communication technology. Specifically, the data is encrypted using HTTPS and sent securely to the server.
[1037] The server has a storage method that stores data in a temporary buffer area and transfers it from there to a database. The database is optimized to efficiently manage users' past transactions and household data. Typical database systems used are MySQL and PostgreSQL.
[1038] The data stored on the server is analyzed using an analytical methodology that incorporates generative AI models and statistical models. The generative AI models use the Python libraries TensorFlow and Scikit-learn. The server uses these models to generate optimal financial management advice based on the user's income, expenses, and savings goals.
[1039] The generated household management advice is communicated to the user through notification methods, such as smartphone apps and web apps. Notifications within the app are sent via push notifications or displayed on the app's UI.
[1040] Furthermore, a specific prompt could be, "To save 83,333 yen per month, we recommend reducing your eating out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan." Based on this advice, users can review their behavior and achieve optimal household management.
[1041] As a concrete example, if a user inputs their income of "500,000 yen," their expenses of "350,000 yen," and their savings goal of "200,000 yen," this data is sent from the device to the server. Once the data is saved and analyzed on the server, advice is generated and sent to the device: "To save 83,333 yen per month, we recommend reducing your dining out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan." By following this prompt, the user can understand specific ways to save money and improve their household finances.
[1042] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1043] Step 1:
[1044] The user launches the application and enters data on income, expenses, and savings goals.
[1045] Input: A user enters revenue "500,000 yen", expenses "350,000 yen", and savings goal "200,000 yen" into an application form.
[1046] Output: The input data is temporarily stored in the device.
[1047] What it does: A user uses the touchscreen of a smartphone or tablet to enter data into an app form, which is then stored in temporary memory.
[1048] Step 2:
[1049] The terminal converts the input data into a specific format, encrypts it, and sends it to the server.
[1050] Input: The data entered by the user in step 1.
[1051] Output: The encrypted data is sent over the internet to a server.
[1052] Specific operation: The terminal uses the HTTPS protocol to convert data into a specific JSON format, encrypt it, and then send it to the server.
[1053] Step 3:
[1054] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area, and then stores it permanently in the database.
[1055] Input: The encrypted data sent in step 2.
[1056] Output: Raw data stored in a database.
[1057] What happens: The server receives the request, holds the data in temporary memory, and then stores the data using a database system (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL).
[1058] Step 4:
[1059] The server analyzes the data and generates optimal household management advice.
[1060] Input: Income, expenses, and savings goal data stored in a database.
[1061] Output: Financial management advice generated by the generative AI model.
[1062] Specific operation: The server uses Python libraries (TensorFlow and Scikit-learn) to analyze past data and market information. As a result of the analysis, it generates specific advice based on the data.
[1063] Step 5:
[1064] The generated household management advice is transmitted to the user's terminal.
[1065] Input: Parsed financial advice.
[1066] Output: Advice that will be displayed on the user's terminal.
[1067] Specific operation: The server formats the generated advice into JSON format as a prompt text, encrypts it again, and sends it to the terminal.
[1068] Step 6:
[1069] The device notifies the user of the advice it receives and displays specific ways to save money and recommended actions.
[1070] Input: Financial advice sent from the server.
[1071] Output: Advice displayed within the application: "To save ¥83,333 per month, we recommend reducing your dining out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan."
[1072] What it does: The device receives the encrypted data, decrypts it, and displays it to the user, using push notifications or the app's UI to grab the user's attention.
[1073] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1074] The present invention relates to a system that collects data on a user's income, expenses, savings goals, etc., and provides optimal household management advice based on that data. In addition, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, the system provides household management advice that corresponds to the user's emotional state.
[1075] System Configuration
[1076] User Interface (UI)
[1077] The device provides an interface through a dedicated application or a web browser, allowing users to input data on income, expenses, and savings goals. This UI is designed to be intuitive, with graphical displays and input forms. It also has an emotion recognition function that captures the user's voice and facial expressions to collect emotional data.
[1078] data communication
[1079] The device converts the data entered by the user and emotion data into a specific format (e.g., JSON) and sends it to the server via a transmission function. The transmitted data is set to arrive at the server safely and quickly.
[1080] Data storage
[1081] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area and then transfers it to a database optimized for securely storing users' past transactions and household data.
[1082] Data analysis
[1083] The server's AI analysis module generates optimal advice based on the stored data, taking into account the user's current situation, past data, and market information. In addition, the server analyzes emotional data received from the emotion engine and adjusts the advice based on the user's emotional state.
[1084] Generating and Sending Advice
[1085] The server generates specific household management advice based on the analysis results and formats it into response data to be notified to the user. The generated advice data is then sent back to the terminal via the sending function.
[1086] User Notification
[1087] The device displays the received advice data on the UI and notifies the user in an intuitive manner, allowing the user to manage their household finances based on the suggested advice.
[1088] Specific examples
[1089] Suppose a user enters their monthly income of "500,000 yen," their monthly expenses of "350,000 yen," and their "saving goal of 200,000 yen" into an application form. At the same time, the application captures the user's voice and facial expressions to collect emotional data. This data is sent from the device to the server when the user presses the send button.
[1090] The server first stores the received data in a database. Next, the AI analysis module uses this data to analyze the user's current income and expenditure balance and identify areas for improvement. The emotion engine also analyzes the captured emotional data and determines, for example, whether the user is feeling stressed. Based on this information, it generates advice such as, "Since this is a stressful time, you should set a reasonable savings goal."
[1091] This advice is then sent back to the device, and the application screen displays the following message: "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan. However, you seem to be stressed, so please be careful not to push yourself too hard." Based on this, users can review their household finances and take specific action.
[1092] In this way, the system of the present invention collects data based on user input, analyzes it on the server, and notifies the terminal of optimal advice, thereby supporting the user in effectively managing their household finances. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide flexible advice according to the user's emotional state.
[1093] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1094] Step 1:
[1095] A user opens a financial management application and enters data such as income, expenses, and savings goals into an input form, while their voice and facial expressions are simultaneously captured.
[1096] Step 2:
[1097] The device generates emotion data based on the user's input data on income, expenses, and savings goals, as well as captured voice and facial expressions.
[1098] Step 3:
[1099] The user confirms that the input data and emotion data have been sent, and then presses the "Send" button.
[1100] Step 4:
[1101] The device converts the income, expenditure, savings goal, and emotional state data into a specific format (e.g., JSON format). This format includes income, expenditure, savings goal, emotional state, etc.
[1102] Step 5:
[1103] The terminal transmits the data via a network communication module to transmit the formatted data to a server.
[1104] Step 6:
[1105] The server receives the data sent from the terminal.
[1106] Step 7:
[1107] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area.
[1108] Step 8:
[1109] The server executes a database save process to save the data in the buffer area to the database.
[1110] Step 9:
[1111] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the user's balance based on income, expenditure, and savings goal data stored in the database.
[1112] Step 10:
[1113] The server's emotion engine analyzes the emotion data stored in the database to identify the user's emotional state. For example, it can determine whether the user is feeling stressed based on voice data and facial expressions.
[1114] Step 11:
[1115] The server's AI analysis module integrates the results of the income and expenditure balance analysis and the emotion engine to generate optimal household management advice.
[1116] Step 12:
[1117] The server formats the generated financial advice as response data, which includes specific savings suggestions and cautions based on the user's emotional state.
[1118] Step 13:
[1119] The server executes a transmission process to transmit the formatted advice data to the terminal.
[1120] Step 14:
[1121] The terminal receives the advice data transmitted from the server.
[1122] Step 15:
[1123] The terminal analyzes the received advice data and converts it into a format for display on the user interface.
[1124] Step 16:
[1125] The device displays advice on the application screen such as, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you reduce your eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan. However, since you seem to be stressed, please be careful not to push yourself too hard."
[1126] Step 17:
[1127] The user checks the displayed advice and adjusts household management and saves money based on it.
[1128] In this way, the system of the present invention generates optimal advice on the server based on the user's input data and emotional data, and notifies the user via the terminal. By combining emotion engines, flexible advice is provided that takes into account the user's emotional state.
[1129] Example 2
[1130] 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."
[1131] Conventional household management systems only handle basic data such as a user's income, expenses, and savings goals, and are unable to provide advice that takes into account the user's emotions and psychological state. As a result, they ignore the impact of stress and emotional fluctuations on household management, resulting in insufficient effectiveness. Furthermore, they are insufficient in accurately analyzing data and personalizing advice, making it difficult to provide appropriate guidance tailored to each user's individual situation.
[1132] 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.
[1133] In this invention, the server includes input means for receiving data on income, expenses, and savings goals input by a user, conversion means for converting the data from the input means into a specific format, transmission means for transmitting the data converted by the conversion means to the server, temporary storage means for storing the data received from the transmission means in a temporary buffer area in the server, storage means for transferring the data stored in the temporary storage means to a database, analysis means for analyzing the data stored in the storage means and the user's emotional data in the server and generating optimal household management advice, adjustment means for adjusting the household management advice generated by the analysis means in accordance with the user's emotional state, and notification means for notifying the user of the household management advice adjusted by the adjustment means.

Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, the system provides household management advice according to the user's emotional state. Specific embodiments for carrying out the invention are described below.
[1146] System Configuration
[1147] User Interface (UI)
[1148] The device provides an interface for entering data on income, expenses, and savings goals through a dedicated application or a web browser. This UI features a graphical display and an input form that users can operate intuitively. In addition, the device has an emotion recognition function that captures voice and facial expressions via a camera and microphone to collect emotional data.
[1149] data communication
[1150] The terminal converts the data entered by the user about income, expenses, and savings goals into a specific format (e.g., JSON), which is then securely and quickly transmitted to the server via HTTP or HTTPS protocols.
[1151] Data storage
[1152] The server first stores the received data in a temporary buffer area. This data is then transferred to a database and saved as the user's household data. The database is managed using a general-purpose relational database management system (RDBMS), such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
[1153] Data analysis
[1154] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the user's balance based on data stored in the database, such as income, expenses, and savings goals. The emotion engine also analyzes the emotional data and adjusts advice based on the user's emotional state. The analysis utilizes generative AI models such as TensorFlow and PyTorch.
[1155] Generating and Sending Advice
[1156] The server generates specific household management advice based on the analysis results, which is then converted back to JSON format and sent to the device as a response.
[1157] User Notification
[1158] The device displays the received advice data on the UI and notifies the user in an intuitive manner. Notifications can be pop-up or push notifications, allowing the user to effectively manage their household finances based on the suggested advice.
[1159] Specific examples
[1160] For example, if a user enters the following data into a form in your application:
[1161] Monthly income: 500,000 yen
[1162] Monthly expenses: 350,000 yen
[1163] Savings goal: "200,000 yen"
[1164] At the same time, voice and facial expression data is collected through the device's camera and microphone, and analyzed as emotional data. This data is then sent from the device to the server by pressing the send button.
[1165] The server first temporarily stores the data, then transfers it to a database for storage. The AI analysis module analyzes the balance of income and expenditure, and the emotion engine determines the user's stress level, etc. Based on this information, the system generates advice such as "Set a reasonable savings goal."
[1166] The generated advice is sent to the terminal in the following format, for example:
[1167] "To save ¥83,333 each month, I suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your cell phone plan. However, since you seem stressed, I'd like to caution you to not push yourself too hard."
[1168] This advice is displayed on the device's UI, allowing users to review their household finances and take concrete action based on it.
[1169] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1170] "Generate optimal household management advice based on data such as monthly income of 500,000 yen, expenses of 350,000 yen, and savings goal of 200,000 yen, as well as emotional information about the user's stress levels."
[1171] In this way, the system of the present invention can support more effective household management by providing personalized household management advice based on the user's input data and emotional state.
[1172] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1173] Step 1:
[1174] The user enters data on income, expenses, and savings goals into a form on the application or web browser via the device. Specifically, the user enters income "500,000 yen," expenses "350,000 yen," and savings goal "200,000 yen" into each field and presses the submit button. At this time, the device's camera and microphone are used to capture the user's voice and facial expressions, and emotional data is also collected. The entered data and emotional data are obtained as input.
[1175] Step 2:
[1176] The terminal converts the data entered by the user into JSON format using a conversion algorithm within the terminal to format the data as JSON, like this:
[1177] json
[1178] {
[1179] "income": 500000,
[1180] "expenses": 350000,
[1181] "savings_goal": 200000,
[1182] "emotion_data": {"stress_level": "high"}
[1183] }
[1184] This JSON data is obtained as the output after conversion.
[1185] Step 3:
[1186] The terminal sends the converted data to the server using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. Specifically, the terminal generates an HTTP request and attaches JSON data to the request. The sent data is received as input by the server.
[1187] Step 4:
[1188] The server first stores the received data in a temporary buffer area. Specifically, the server writes the data to a temporary storage area within the server. The temporarily stored data becomes the input for the next step.
[1189] Step 5:
[1190] The server transfers the temporarily saved data to the database and stores it. Specifically, it adds the data to the database using the INSERT command. This operation saves the user's household data to the database. The saved data becomes the input data for the next analysis.
[1191] Step 6:
[1192] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the data stored in the database. Specifically, it uses a generative AI model (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch) to analyze the balance, and the emotion engine analyzes the emotional data. This analysis outputs the user's possible balance, and the analysis results serve as the basis for generating the next advice.
[1193] Step 7:
[1194] The server generates household management advice based on the analysis results. Specifically, it uses an advice generation algorithm to generate specific advice such as "To save 83,333 yen per month, reduce eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan." This generated advice is output as the next data to be sent.
[1195] Step 8:
[1196] The server formats the generated advice in JSON format and sends it to the terminal as an HTTP response. Specifically, the response is sent in the following JSON format:
[1197] json
[1198] {
[1199] "advice": "To save ¥83,333 each month, I suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your cell phone plan. However, since you seem stressed, I'd like to caution you to not push yourself too hard."
[1200] }
[1201] This JSON data is received by the terminal and used for the next display process.
[1202] Step 9:
[1203] The device displays the received advice data to the user. Specifically, the advice is displayed within the application UI. Pop-ups and push notifications are used to make the advice easily available to the user. The user can review their household management based on this advice and take specific actions.

[1205] 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."
[1206] Today, users face many challenges when managing their household finances. In particular, it is difficult to receive appropriate advice on how to achieve savings goals while balancing income and expenses. Users may also feel stressed because the advice provided is not flexible enough to reflect their emotional state. Furthermore, the lack of advice that takes savings goals into account when shopping on online shopping sites makes it difficult to plan consumption behavior. There is a need for a system that can solve these issues and enable users to manage their household finances more effectively.
[1207] 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.

[1301] Data storage
[1302] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area and then transfers it to a database optimized for securely storing users' past transactions and household data.
[1303] Data analysis
[1304] The server's AI analysis module uses the stored data to generate optimal advice by referencing the user's current situation, past data, and market information. This analysis is performed using sophisticated machine learning algorithms and statistical models.
[1305] Generating and Sending Advice
[1306] The server generates specific household management advice based on the analysis results and formats it as response data. The generated advice data is then sent back to the device via the sending function.
[1307] User Notification
[1308] The device displays the received advice data on the UI and notifies the user in an intuitive manner, allowing the user to manage their household finances based on the suggested advice.
[1309] Specific examples
[1310] Suppose a user enters their monthly income of 500,000 yen, their monthly expenses of 350,000 yen, and their savings goal of 200,000 yen into an application form. This data is sent from the device to the server by pressing the send button.
[1311] The server first stores the received data in a database. Next, the AI analysis module uses this data to analyze the user's current balance and identify areas for improvement. For example, it generates advice such as, "To save 83,333 yen per month, reduce your eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan."
[1312] This advice is then sent back to the device, and the application screen displays, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you reduce your eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan." Based on this, users can review their household finances and take specific actions.
[1313] In this way, the system of the present invention collects data based on user input, analyzes it on the server, and notifies the terminal of optimal advice, thereby providing support to users in effectively managing their household finances.
[1314] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1315] Step 1:
[1316] A user opens a household management application and enters household data such as income, expenses, and savings goals into an input form.
[1317] Step 2:
[1318] The user checks the entered data and presses the "Submit" button.
[1319] Step 3:
[1320] The terminal converts the input data into a specific format (e.g., JSON), which includes information such as income, expenses, and savings goals.
[1321] Step 4:
[1322] The terminal transmits the converted data via a network communication module to send the data to the server.
[1323] Step 5:
[1324] The server receives the data sent from the terminal.
[1325] Step 6:
[1326] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area.
[1327] Step 7:
[1328] The server executes a save process to save the data saved in the buffer area to the database.
[1329] Step 8:
[1330] The server launches an AI analysis module to analyze the data stored in the database.
[1331] Step 9:
[1332] The server's AI analysis module uses the stored data to generate optimal household management advice, referring to the user's income and expenditure balance, past data, and even market information.
[1333] Step 10:
[1334] The server acquires the generated household management advice and formats it into response data for notifying the user.
[1335] Step 11:
[1336] The server executes a transmission process to transmit the formatted advice data to the terminal.
[1337] Step 12:
[1338] The terminal receives the advice data transmitted from the server.
[1339] Step 13:
[1340] The terminal analyzes the received advice data and converts it into a format for display on the user interface.
[1341] Step 14:
[1342] The device displays advice on the application screen such as, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest reducing your eating out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan."
[1343] Step 15:
[1344] The user checks the displayed advice and adjusts household management and saves money based on it.
[1345] In this way, at each processing step of the present system, the user, terminal, and server work together to collect data on income, expenses, and savings goals, generate optimal financial advice, and notify the user.
[1346] Example 1
[1347] 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 robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1348] The present invention relates to a system that provides optimal household management advice based on a user's income, expenses, and savings goals, and is particularly required to provide accurate advice in real time. However, conventional household management systems do not effectively utilize the user's past data or market information, and analysis results are often vague and lack specificity, making it difficult for users to intuitively understand and take concrete action.

[1443] (Application example 1)
[1444] 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 robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1445] In modern household management, it is important to provide optimal advice using data such as income, expenses, and savings goals. However, conventional systems have difficulty providing specific, practical advice tailored to individual situations in real time based on the data entered by the user. In addition, they lack a mechanism to clearly present recommended actions to encourage users to manage their household finances.
[1446] 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.
[1447] In this invention, the server includes an input means for receiving data on income, expenses, and savings goals input by a user, a transmission means for transmitting the data from the input means to the server, a storage means in the server for storing the data received from the transmission means in a database, an analysis means in the server for analyzing the data stored in the storage means and generating optimal household management advice, and a notification means for displaying the household management advice generated by the analysis means on the user's terminal and notifying the user of recommended spending reduction methods and points to review in spending. This enables the user to receive specific advice in real time based on their income, expenses, and savings goals, and clearly show actionable actions, enabling effective household management.
[1448] "Input means" refers to a device or interface through which a user inputs data such as income, expenses, and savings goals.
[1449] "Transmission means" refers to a device or software having a function for transmitting data acquired from an input means to a server.
[1450] "Storage means" refers to a function for safely and efficiently storing data sent to the server in a database.
[1451] "Analysis means" refers to an analysis system including machine learning algorithms and statistical models for generating optimal household management advice based on the data stored in the storage means.
[1452] "Notification means" refers to a device or software that has the function of displaying the household management advice generated by the analysis means on the user's terminal and notifying the user of recommended ways to reduce expenses and points to review in expenses.
[1453] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates household management advice based on input data.
[1454] A "prompt sentence" is a text message generated to prompt the user to take a specific action, and refers to a short sentence that clearly presents the recommended action.
[1455] A system embodying this invention has the following configuration. First, an input means is provided for a user to input data such as income, expenses, and savings goals. This input means uses a terminal such as a smartphone or tablet. This allows the user to intuitively input data through an interface.
[1456] Next, the input data is sent to the server via a transmission means. This transmission means uses internet communication technology. Specifically, the data is encrypted using HTTPS and sent securely to the server.
[1457] The server has a storage method that stores data in a temporary buffer area and transfers it from there to a database. The database is optimized to efficiently manage users' past transactions and household data. Typical database systems used are MySQL and PostgreSQL.
[1458] The data stored on the server is analyzed using an analytical methodology that incorporates generative AI models and statistical models. The generative AI models use the Python libraries TensorFlow and Scikit-learn. The server uses these models to generate optimal financial management advice based on the user's income, expenses, and savings goals.
[1459] The generated household management advice is communicated to the user through notification methods, such as smartphone apps and web apps. Notifications within the app are sent via push notifications or displayed on the app's UI.
[1460] Furthermore, a specific prompt could be, "To save 83,333 yen per month, we recommend reducing your eating out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan." Based on this advice, users can review their behavior and achieve optimal household management.
[1461] As a concrete example, if a user inputs their income of "500,000 yen," their expenses of "350,000 yen," and their savings goal of "200,000 yen," this data is sent from the device to the server. Once the data is saved and analyzed on the server, advice is generated and sent to the device: "To save 83,333 yen per month, we recommend reducing your dining out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan." By following this prompt, the user can understand specific ways to save money and improve their household finances.
[1462] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1463] Step 1:
[1464] The user launches the application and enters data on income, expenses, and savings goals.
[1465] Input: A user enters revenue "500,000 yen", expenses "350,000 yen", and savings goal "200,000 yen" into an application form.
[1466] Output: The input data is temporarily stored in the device.
[1467] What it does: A user uses the touchscreen of a smartphone or tablet to enter data into an app form, which is then stored in temporary memory.

[1471] Output: The encrypted data is sent over the internet to a server.
[1472] Specific operation: The terminal uses the HTTPS protocol to convert data into a specific JSON format, encrypt it, and then send it to the server.
[1473] Step 3:
[1474] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area, and then stores it permanently in the database.
[1475] Input: The encrypted data sent in step 2.
[1476] Output: Raw data stored in a database.
[1477] What happens: The server receives the request, holds the data in temporary memory, and then stores the data using a database system (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL).
[1478] Step 4:
[1479] The server analyzes the data and generates optimal household management advice.
[1480] Input: Income, expenses, and savings goal data stored in a database.
[1481] Output: Financial management advice generated by the generative AI model.
[1482] Specific operation: The server uses Python libraries (TensorFlow and Scikit-learn) to analyze past data and market information. As a result of the analysis, it generates specific advice based on the data.
[1483] Step 5:
[1484] The generated household management advice is transmitted to the user's terminal.
[1485] Input: Parsed financial advice.
[1486] Output: Advice that will be displayed on the user's terminal.
[1487] Specific operation: The server formats the generated advice into JSON format as a prompt text, encrypts it again, and sends it to the terminal.
[1488] Step 6:
[1489] The device notifies the user of the advice it receives and displays specific ways to save money and recommended actions.
[1490] Input: Financial advice sent from the server.
[1491] Output: Advice displayed within the application: "To save ¥83,333 per month, we recommend reducing your dining out expenses by 20% and reviewing your mobile phone plan."
[1492] What it does: The device receives the encrypted data, decrypts it, and displays it to the user, using push notifications or the app's UI to grab the user's attention.
[1493] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1494] The present invention relates to a system that collects data on a user's income, expenses, savings goals, etc., and provides optimal household management advice based on that data. In addition, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, the system provides household management advice that corresponds to the user's emotional state.
[1495] System Configuration
[1496] User Interface (UI)
[1497] The device provides an interface through a dedicated application or a web browser, allowing users to input data on income, expenses, and savings goals. This UI is designed to be intuitive, with graphical displays and input forms. It also has an emotion recognition function that captures the user's voice and facial expressions to collect emotional data.
[1498] data communication
[1499] The device converts the data entered by the user and emotion data into a specific format (e.g., JSON) and sends it to the server via a transmission function. The transmitted data is set to arrive at the server safely and quickly.
[1500] Data storage
[1501] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area and then transfers it to a database optimized for securely storing users' past transactions and household data.
[1502] Data analysis
[1503] The server's AI analysis module generates optimal advice based on the stored data, taking into account the user's current situation, past data, and market information. In addition, the server analyzes emotional data received from the emotion engine and adjusts the advice based on the user's emotional state.
[1504] Generating and Sending Advice
[1505] The server generates specific household management advice based on the analysis results and formats it into response data to be notified to the user. The generated advice data is then sent back to the terminal via the sending function.
[1506] User Notification
[1507] The device displays the received advice data on the UI and notifies the user in an intuitive manner, allowing the user to manage their household finances based on the suggested advice.
[1508] Specific examples
[1509] Suppose a user enters their monthly income of "500,000 yen," their monthly expenses of "350,000 yen," and their "saving goal of 200,000 yen" into an application form. At the same time, the application captures the user's voice and facial expressions to collect emotional data. This data is sent from the device to the server when the user presses the send button.
[1510] The server first stores the received data in a database. Next, the AI analysis module uses this data to analyze the user's current income and expenditure balance and identify areas for improvement. The emotion engine also analyzes the captured emotional data and determines, for example, whether the user is feeling stressed. Based on this information, it generates advice such as, "Since this is a stressful time, you should set a reasonable savings goal."
[1511] This advice is then sent back to the device, and the application screen displays the following message: "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan. However, you seem to be stressed, so please be careful not to push yourself too hard." Based on this, users can review their household finances and take specific action.
[1512] In this way, the system of the present invention collects data based on user input, analyzes it on the server, and notifies the terminal of optimal advice, thereby supporting the user in effectively managing their household finances. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide flexible advice according to the user's emotional state.
[1513] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1514] Step 1:
[1515] A user opens a financial management application and enters data such as income, expenses, and savings goals into an input form, while their voice and facial expressions are simultaneously captured.
[1516] Step 2:
[1517] The device generates emotion data based on the user's input data on income, expenses, and savings goals, as well as captured voice and facial expressions.
[1518] Step 3:
[1519] The user confirms that the input data and emotion data have been sent, and then presses the "Send" button.
[1520] Step 4:
[1521] The device converts the income, expenditure, savings goal, and emotional state data into a specific format (e.g., JSON format). This format includes income, expenditure, savings goal, emotional state, etc.
[1522] Step 5:
[1523] The terminal transmits the data via a network communication module to transmit the formatted data to a server.
[1524] Step 6:
[1525] The server receives the data sent from the terminal.
[1526] Step 7:
[1527] The server stores the received data in a temporary buffer area.
[1528] Step 8:
[1529] The server executes a database save process to save the data in the buffer area to the database.
[1530] Step 9:
[1531] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the user's balance based on income, expenditure, and savings goal data stored in the database.
[1532] Step 10:
[1533] The server's emotion engine analyzes the emotion data stored in the database to identify the user's emotional state. For example, it can determine whether the user is feeling stressed based on voice data and facial expressions.
[1534] Step 11:
[1535] The server's AI analysis module integrates the results of the income and expenditure balance analysis and the emotion engine to generate optimal household management advice.
[1536] Step 12:
[1537] The server formats the generated financial advice as response data, which includes specific savings suggestions and cautions based on the user's emotional state.
[1538] Step 13:
[1539] The server executes a transmission process to transmit the formatted advice data to the terminal.
[1540] Step 14:
[1541] The terminal receives the advice data transmitted from the server.
[1542] Step 15:
[1543] The terminal analyzes the received advice data and converts it into a format for display on the user interface.
[1544] Step 16:
[1545] The device displays advice on the application screen such as, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you reduce your eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan. However, since you seem to be stressed, please be careful not to push yourself too hard."
[1546] Step 17:
[1547] The user checks the displayed advice and adjusts household management and saves money based on it.
[1548] In this way, the system of the present invention generates optimal advice on the server based on the user's input data and emotional data, and notifies the user via the terminal. By combining emotion engines, flexible advice is provided that takes into account the user's emotional state.

[1551] Conventional household management systems only handle basic data such as a user's income, expenses, and savings goals, and are unable to provide advice that takes into account the user's emotions and psychological state. As a result, they ignore the impact of stress and emotional fluctuations on household management, resulting in insufficient effectiveness. Furthermore, they are insufficient in accurately analyzing data and personalizing advice, making it difficult to provide appropriate guidance tailored to each user's individual situation.
[1552] 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.

Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, the system provides household management advice according to the user's emotional state. Specific embodiments for carrying out the invention are described below.
[1566] System Configuration
[1567] User Interface (UI)
[1568] The device provides an interface for entering data on income, expenses, and savings goals through a dedicated application or a web browser. This UI features a graphical display and an input form that users can operate intuitively. In addition, the device has an emotion recognition function that captures voice and facial expressions via a camera and microphone to collect emotional data.
[1569] data communication
[1570] The terminal converts the data entered by the user about income, expenses, and savings goals into a specific format (e.g., JSON), which is then securely and quickly transmitted to the server via HTTP or HTTPS protocols.
[1571] Data storage
[1572] The server first stores the received data in a temporary buffer area. This data is then transferred to a database and saved as the user's household data. The database is managed using a general-purpose relational database management system (RDBMS), such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
[1573] Data analysis
[1574] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the user's balance based on data stored in the database, such as income, expenses, and savings goals.

[1584] At the same time, voice and facial expression data is collected through the device's camera and microphone, and analyzed as emotional data. This data is then sent from the device to the server by pressing the send button.
[1585] The server first temporarily stores the data, then transfers it to a database for storage. The AI analysis module analyzes the balance of income and expenditure, and the emotion engine determines the user's stress level, etc. Based on this information, the system generates advice such as "Set a reasonable savings goal."
[1586] The generated advice is sent to the terminal in the following format, for example:
[1587] "To save ¥83,333 each month, I suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your cell phone plan. However, since you seem stressed, I'd like to caution you to not push yourself too hard."
[1588] This advice is displayed on the device's UI, allowing users to review their household finances and take concrete action based on it.
[1589] Prompt Sentence Examples

Specifically, the user enters income "500,000 yen," expenses "350,000 yen," and savings goal "200,000 yen" into each field and presses the submit button. At this time, the device's camera and microphone are used to capture the user's voice and facial expressions, and emotional data is also collected. The entered data and emotional data are obtained as input.
[1595] Step 2:
[1596] The terminal converts the data entered by the user into JSON format using a conversion algorithm within the terminal to format the data as JSON, like this:
[1597] json
[1598] {
[1599] "income": 500000,
[1600] "expenses": 350000,
[1601] "savings_goal": 200000,
[1602] "emotion_data": {"stress_level": "high"}
[1603] }
[1604] This JSON data is obtained as the output after conversion.
[1605] Step 3:
[1606] The terminal sends the converted data to the server using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. Specifically, the terminal generates an HTTP request and attaches JSON data to the request. The sent data is received as input by the server.
[1607] Step 4:
[1608] The server first stores the received data in a temporary buffer area. Specifically, the server writes the data to a temporary storage area within the server. The temporarily stored data becomes the input for the next step.
[1609] Step 5:
[1610] The server transfers the temporarily saved data to the database and stores it. Specifically, it adds the data to the database using the INSERT command. This operation saves the user's household data to the database. The saved data becomes the input data for the next analysis.
[1611] Step 6:
[1612] The server's AI analysis module analyzes the data stored in the database. Specifically, it uses a generative AI model (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch) to analyze the balance, and the emotion engine analyzes the emotional data. This analysis outputs the user's possible balance, and the analysis results serve as the basis for generating the next advice.
[1613] Step 7:
[1614] The server generates household management advice based on the analysis results. Specifically, it uses an advice generation algorithm to generate specific advice such as "To save 83,333 yen per month, reduce eating out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan." This generated advice is output as the next data to be sent.
[1615] Step 8:
[1616] The server formats the generated advice in JSON format and sends it to the terminal as an HTTP response. Specifically, the response is sent in the following JSON format:
[1617] json
[1618] {
[1619] "advice": "To save ¥83,333 each month, I suggest you cut your dining out expenses by 20% and review your cell phone plan. However, since you seem stressed, I'd like to caution you to not push yourself too hard."
[1620] }
[1621] This JSON data is received by the terminal and used for the next display process.
[1622] Step 9:
[1623] The device displays the received advice data to the user. Specifically, the advice is displayed within the application UI. Pop-ups and push notifications are used to make the advice easily available to the user. The user can review their household management based on this advice and take specific actions.
[1624] (Application example 2)
[1625] 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."
[1626] Today, users face many challenges when managing their household finances. In particular, it is difficult to receive appropriate advice on how to achieve savings goals while balancing income and expenses. Users may also feel stressed because the advice provided is not flexible enough to reflect their emotional state. Furthermore, the lack of advice that takes savings goals into account when shopping on online shopping sites makes it difficult to plan consumption behavior. There is a need for a system that can solve these issues and enable users to manage their household finances more effectively.
[1627] 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.
[1628] In this invention, the server includes an input means for receiving data on income, expenses, and savings goals input by a user, a transmission means for transmitting the data and emotional data from the input means to the server, a storage means for storing the data received from the transmission means in a database in the server, an analysis means for analyzing the data and emotional data stored in the storage means in the server and generating optimal household management advice, a notification means for notifying the user of the household management advice generated by the analysis means, and a display means for presenting the savings goal on the user's terminal when purchasing a product. This makes it possible to comprehensively analyze the user's income, expenses, savings goals, and emotional data and provide flexible household management advice tailored to the user's emotional state. Furthermore, by providing advice that takes savings goals into consideration when shopping on an online shopping site, the user can plan their consumption behavior and achieve effective household management.
[1629] "Revenue" refers to the monetary benefit a user receives within a certain period of time.
[1630] "Expenses" refers to the total amount of money a user spends within a certain period of time.
[1631] A "savings goal" refers to the amount of spending reduction a user wants to achieve within a certain period of time.
[1632] "Input means" refers to a device or interface through which a user inputs income, expenses, savings goals, and emotional data into the system.
[1633] "Transmission means" refers to a device or software that has the function of transmitting data acquired from the input means to the server.
[1634] "Storage means" refers to a device or database for storing data received by the server for a certain period of time.
[1635] "Analysis means" refers to functions and software for generating optimal household management advice based on the data and emotional data stored in the storage means.
[1636] "Notification means" refers to a device or interface for notifying the user of the generated household management advice.
[1637] "Display means" refers to functions and software for visually presenting advice based on savings goals and emotions to the user on the user's device.
[1638] The system based on this invention collects data on a user's income, expenses, savings goals, and emotions, and provides a function to generate and display optimal household management advice based on this data. This system is composed of the following main components.
[1639] User Interface (UI)
[1640] The device provides an input form for users to enter data on income, expenses, and savings goals via a dedicated application or a web browser interface. The device also uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's voice and facial expressions to collect emotional data, allowing users to operate the device intuitively.
[1641] data communication
[1642] The device converts the data and emotion data entered by the user into a specific format (e.g., JSON) and securely transmits it to the server via the HTTPS protocol. This data includes income, expenses, savings goals, and emotion data.
[1643] Data storage
[1644] The server temporarily stores the received data in a buffer area and then transfers it safely and efficiently to a database (e.g., MongoDB) that stores the user's past transactions and household data and is optimized to provide fast access to the information needed.
[1645] Data analysis
[1646] The server is equipped with an AI analysis module (e.g., Python + TensorFlow) and an emotion engine (e.g., Python + OpenCV). This allows it to generate optimal advice based on the saved data, referring to the user's current situation, past data, and even market information. It also analyzes the user's emotional state based on emotion data and generates flexible advice that reflects their emotions.
[1647] Generating and Sending Advice
[1648] The server generates specific household management advice based on the analysis results and formats it into response data to be notified to the user. The generated advice data is then sent back to the terminal via the communication function.
[1649] User Notification
[1650] The device displays the received advice data on the UI and notifies the user in a format that is easy to understand and implement. Specifically, it presents specific action plans for achieving savings goals and advice based on the user's emotional state.
[1651] Specific examples
[1652] For example, if a user enters the following data into a form in your application:
[1653] Income: 500,000 yen
[1654] Expenses: 350,000 yen
[1655] Savings goal: ¥200,000
[1656] At the same time, the application captures the user's voice and facial expressions to collect emotional data. This data is sent from the device to the server when the user presses the send button. The server analyzes the received data and, if it determines that the user is feeling stressed, generates advice suggesting, "This is a stressful time, so set a savings goal within your limits." This advice is sent back to the device and displays, "To save 83,333 yen each month, we suggest you reduce your dining out expenses by 20% and review your mobile phone plan. However, since you seem to be stressed, please be careful not to overdo it."
[1657] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1658] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is:
[1659] Generate appropriate advice based on user sentiment data and contract details.
[1660] Example data:
[1661] Income: 500,000 yen
[1662] Expenses: 350,000 yen
[1663] Savings goal: ¥200,000
[1664] Emotional state: Stress
[1665] Desired advice:
[1666] Emotion-based savings plan suggestions
[1667] Relaxation products for stress relief
[1668] This system allows users to manage their household finances effectively and without stress, and to plan their consumption behavior.
[1669] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1670] Step 1:
[1671] The user enters data on income, expenses, and savings goals into the application form and presses the submit button. The user also uses the camera and microphone to capture facial expressions and voice to collect emotional data. The system converts this data into JSON format.
[1672] Input: Income, expenses, savings goal data, facial expressions, voice
[1673] Output: JSON formatted income, expenses, savings goal data, and sentiment data
[1674] Step 2:
[1675] The terminal sends the JSON format data generated in step 1 to the server using the HTTPS protocol.
[1676] Input: JSON format income, expenses, savings goal data, and sentiment data
[1677] Output: Confirmation of transmission to the server
[1678] Step 3:
[1679] The server temporarily stores the received data in a buffer area and then forwards it to a database (e.g., MongoDB), where the data is properly indexed and efficiently stored for future analysis.
[1680] Input: JSON format income, expenses, savings goal data, and sentiment data
[1681] Output: Data stored in the database
[1682] Step 4:
[1683] The server's AI analysis module (e.g., Python + TensorFlow) analyzes the data and emotional data stored in the database, assessing the current state of household finances based on income, expenses, and savings goals, and understanding the user's emotional state based on the emotional data.
[1684] Input: Income, expenditure, savings goal data, and emotional data stored in the database
[1685] Output: Household management advice and emotional evaluation results
[1686] Step 5:
[1687] The server uses a generative AI model to generate financial management advice tailored to the user based on the analysis results of the AI analysis module. This process also includes generating flexible advice based on the user's emotional state.
[1688] Input: Household management advice and emotional evaluation results
[1689] Output: Specific household management advice
[1690] Step 6:
[1691] The server formats the generated household management advice into JSON format and prepares it as response data to be sent to the terminal.
[1692] Input: Specific household management advice
[1693] Output: Financial advice in JSON format
[1694] Step 7:
[1695] The terminal displays the household management advice received from the server on the user interface, allowing the user to take specific household management and consumption actions based on this advice.
[1696] Input: Financial advice in JSON format
[1697] Output: Financial advice displayed in the UI
[1698] 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 voice indicating a user input regarding 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.
[1699] 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 performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with 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.
[1700] 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 robot 414.
[1701] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[1702] FIG. 9 illustrates 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. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[1703] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically 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.
[1704] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[1705] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. Emotions can also be created for robots, automobiles, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on Voice Emotion Recognition and Emotional Brain Physiological Signal Analysis Systems, Tokushima University, Doctoral Dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.
[1706] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs 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 a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[1707] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of 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, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.
[1708] The system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, but the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. The present disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program running on a personal computer or an application running on a smartphone, etc. The method according to the present disclosure may be provided to users in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).
[1709] In the above embodiment, an example was 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 data may be generated in the external device in accordance with input data.
[1710] 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 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 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. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[1711] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[1712] 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.
[1713] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: An example of a processor is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program.

[1715] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[1716] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices.
