[0136] The present invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes a user's financial data and provides feedback and advice based on the results, helping users to eliminate anxiety about their income and expenses and to better manage their finances.
[0137] System Overview
[0138] The basic components of the system are:
[0139] server
[0140] Terminal
[0141] User
[0142] AI Module
[0143] Users access the system through devices such as smartphones and PCs. When a user logs in to the application, the server automatically collects the user's income and expenditure data via the API of the electronic payment system and sends it to the device.
[0144] Data collection
[0145] The server calls an API to collect the user's financial data the moment the user logs in. To ensure security, the server uses an authentication protocol such as OAuth. For example, when a user logs in to a banking app, the server uses the bank's API to obtain income and expense data.
[0146] Data analysis
[0147] The collected data is sent to the device, where it is analyzed by an AI module on the device. The AI module uses machine learning algorithms to analyze income and expenditure patterns by comparing them with past data. It also predicts necessary expenses based on the user's age and family composition. For example, if the user has a family of three, it will analyze data from the past six months and predict necessary expenses such as food and education.
[0148] Feedback Generation
[0149] Based on the analysis results, the terminal generates appropriate feedback and advice for the user. For example, it may generate a message saying, "This month's expenses are within budget. Keep it up." This generated message is sent to the server, which then notifies the user.
[0150] Notifications and chat features
[0151] The generated feedback and advice are notified to the user via the server. The user receives this as a push notification on their smartphone or an in-app message. Users can also send specific questions using the two-way chat function. For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the server passes the question to the AI, which generates an appropriate answer. The AI generates an answer such as, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals," and notifies the user via the server.
[0152] Specific examples
[0153] Data collection
[0154] User: "I log in to the app on my phone."
[0155] Server: "Call the API and get the user's income and expenditure data."
[0156] Server: "Send the collected data to the device."
[0157] Data analysis
[0158] Terminal: "Pass received data to AI module."
[0159] AI: "Analyze your income and expenditure patterns over the past six months."
[0160] AI: "Predict and compare spending needs based on family structure."
[0161] Feedback Generation
[0162] Terminal: "Receives analysis results from AI and generates positive feedback and advice."
[0163] Device: "Generate a message saying, 'Your expenses are within budget this month. Keep it up.'"
[0164] Terminal: "Send the generated message to the server."
[0165] Notifications and chat features
[0166] Server: "Notify the user of the generated feedback message."
[0167] User: "I want to be notified that I'm within my budget this month. Keep it up."
[0168] User: "I use the chat feature to ask, 'Do you have any specific tips for increasing my savings?'"
[0169] Server: "Receives the question and passes it to the AI to generate an answer."
[0170] AI: "Generate the answer 'We recommend setting a monthly savings amount and setting up automatic withdrawals.'"
[0171] Server: "Send the generated answer to the user."
[0172] This system allows users to understand their financial situation in real time and receive appropriate and specific advice, which will serve as a powerful tool to reduce users' anxiety about financial management and help them live their daily lives with peace of mind.
[0173] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0174] Step 1:
[0175] The server detects when a user logs into a smartphone app. Using this as input, the server calls the API of an electronic payment system (e.g., bank account or credit card) to collect the user's income and expenditure data. The collected financial data is then stored in the server's internal database.
[0176] Step 2:
[0177] The server sends the collected financial data to the device. Specifically, it uses an encrypted protocol (e.g., HTTPS) to transfer the user's income and expenditure data to the device, which then obtains the data necessary for analysis.
[0178] Step 3:
[0179] The terminal passes the financial data received from the server to the AI module. In this process, the terminal formats the received data and converts it into a format that the AI module can easily understand. The converted data is then input into the AI module.
[0180] Step 4:
[0181] The AI module analyzes income and expenditure patterns over the past six months based on the financial data it receives as input. Specifically, it uses machine learning algorithms to cleanse the data, extract features, and recognize patterns. The results of this analysis are used as the basis for assessing the user's financial situation.
[0182] Step 5:
[0183] The AI module takes into account additional information such as the user's age, family structure, and set goals to predict income and expenditure balances and necessary expenditures. This data processing and calculation produces more accurate analysis results, which are then output to the device.
[0184] Step 6:
[0185] The device generates feedback and advice for the user based on the analysis results received from the AI module. During this generation process, a message such as "Your expenses this month are within budget. Keep it up." The generated message is stored on the device as feedback data.
[0186] Step 7:
[0187] The terminal sends the generated feedback and advice to the server, which then prepares the received feedback for notification to the user. This process includes formatting, encoding, and encryption of the feedback data.
[0188] Step 8:
[0189] The server notifies the user of the generated feedback message in real time as a push notification or an in-app message on their smartphone. The user receives the notification on their device and checks the feedback content.
[0190] Step 9:
[0191] Using the two-way chat function, users can send specific questions to the system, such as, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?" This question is sent to the server as chat data.
[0192] Step 10:
[0193] The server passes the question received from the user to the AI module, which starts the process of generating an answer. The AI module analyzes the content of the question and generates an appropriate answer. For example, it might generate an answer such as, "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawal."
[0194] Step 11:
[0195] The answer generated by the AI module is returned to the server, which formats and encodes the data to notify the user, providing the answer in a user-friendly format.
[0196] Step 12:
[0197] The server then sends the generated answers to the user, who can then review the answers on their device and receive specific advice. This process allows users to receive practical advice on financial management in real time.

[0199] 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."
[0200] Conventional financial management systems have had problems such as the time and effort required for users to manually input income and expenditure data, and delays in providing feedback.In addition, it is difficult to provide advice that fully takes into account the specific circumstances of each individual user, making it difficult to carry out effective financial management.
[0201] 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.
[0202] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting financial data from a user, means for analyzing the collected financial data and analyzing income and expenditure trends, means for generating feedback and advice based on the analysis results, means for notifying the user of the generated feedback and advice, means for providing a two-way communication function that allows the user to submit questions, means for using a generative AI model to generate content for questions and answers, and means for notifying the user of the generated answers, thereby enabling the user to grasp their financial situation in real time and receive specific and effective financial management advice.

[0206] "Feedback" or "advice" is guidance or suggestions provided to the user based on the analysis results.
[0207] "Notification means" refers to a method or device for conveying generated feedback or advice to the user.
[0208] "Two-way communication capability" refers to a communication means that allows a user to submit questions and receive answers.
[0209] "Generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence model that automatically generates question and answer content.
[0210] "Real-time" refers to responses or processing at or very close to the moment a user takes an action.
[0211] This invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes users' financial data and provides feedback and advice. Specifically, it consists of three main components: a server, a terminal, and a user.
[0212] First, the server collects financial data from the user, including income and expenditure data from the user's use of the electronic payment system. The server automatically obtains this data through API and transmits the collected data to the terminal.
[0213] The device then performs an analysis based on the received data, which involves evaluating the user's past income and expenditure trends and deriving patterns for a specific period of time. It also takes into account factors such as the user's age and family structure, and generates optimal recommendations based on that.
[0214] Once the analysis is complete, the device generates feedback and advice based on the analysis. For example, it may generate positive feedback such as, "Your expenses this month are within budget. Keep it up." This feedback is then sent to the user via the server.
[0215] Users can also send questions using the two-way communication function. The server receives these questions and uses the generative AI model to generate appropriate answers. For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the generative AI model will generate the answer, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals," and notify the user.
[0216] The hardware and software used include a data acquisition point (usually an API), an analysis engine (including an AI module), and a notification system. Specifically, a common web framework (e.g., Flask) can be used for the API. AI analysis uses AI models such as Hugging Face's Transformers. The notification system uses the push notification function of a smartphone.
[0217] For example, when a user logs into the app and provides financial data, the server calls an API to collect the data, which is then passed to an on-device AI module that analyzes income and expenses over the past six months and generates optimal feedback.
[0218] An example of a prompt is:
[0219] If a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the generative AI model will generate the answer, "To increase your savings, we recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals. It is also effective to review unnecessary subscriptions and use them to increase your savings."
[0220] In this way, the system provides users with real-time, specific financial management advice, helping to alleviate their financial worries.
[0221] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0222] Step 1:
[0223] The server collects the user's financial data through an electronic payment system by the user logging in to a smartphone app. This collection involves automatically obtaining the user's income and expenditure data using an API. The input data is the user's electronic payment history, and the output data is the financial data sent to the terminal in a structured format.
[0224] Step 2:
[0225] The terminal receives financial data sent from the server. The received data is first passed to an AI analysis module, which analyzes trends in income and expenditure data over the past six months. The input data is the collected financial data, and the output data is the analysis results showing income and expenditure patterns.
[0226] Step 3:
[0227] The device generates feedback and advice for the user based on the analysis results of the AI analysis module. For example, it creates a positive message such as, "This month's expenses are within budget, so your savings are increasing." The input data is the analysis result of step 2, and the output data is the generated feedback message.
[0228] Step 4:
[0229] The generated feedback and advice are sent to the server, which then notifies the user using the smartphone's push notification function. The input data is the feedback message generated in step 3, and the output data is the message sent to the user's device.
[0230] Step 5:
[0231] Users can submit questions using the two-way communication feature within the app. For example, a user might ask, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?" The input data is the user's question, and the output data is the question sent to the server through the two-way communication channel.
[0232] Step 6:
[0233] The server passes the received user question to a generative AI model, which generates an answer in real time. The generative AI model generates optimal advice by taking into account the user's income and expenditure data, age, family composition, etc. The input data is the user's question and related financial data, and the output data is the generated answer.
[0234] Step 7:
[0235] The generated answer is notified to the user via the server. For example, specific advice such as "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawals" is sent to the user. The input data is the answer generated in step 6, and the output data is the advice notified to the user.
[0236] As described above, through the specific operations performed at each processing step, the system is able to grasp the user's financial situation in real time and provide appropriate feedback and advice.
[0237] 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.
[0238] This invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes a user's financial data and provides feedback and advice based on the results. By combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to respond according to the user's emotions. This allows users to manage their own financial situation with peace of mind and receive appropriate advice.
[0239] System configuration
[0240] The system includes the following main components:
[0241] 1. Server
[0242] 2. Terminal
[0243] 3. Users
[0244] 4. Emotion Engine
[0245] Program processing flow
[0246] 1. Data Collection
[0247] The server first collects the user's financial data, which includes retrieving data from the user's electronic payment system. When the user logs into the application, the server automatically collects the data via an API.
[0248] 2. Data Analysis
[0249] Once the data is collected, the on-device AI analyzes it to identify income and expenditure trends, compare them with historical data, and assess the user's financial situation, based on the user's age, family structure, and set goals.
[0250] 3. Feedback Generation
[0251] Based on the analysis results, the device generates appropriate feedback and advice for the user, including advice on how to manage expenses and save money. For example, positive feedback such as "Your expenses this month are within budget, so your savings are increasing" is provided.
[0252] 4. Notifications and Chat Features
[0253] The generated feedback and advice is sent to the user via the server, allowing the user to check their financial situation in real time. Users can also send specific questions using the two-way chat function. The server analyzes these questions and passes them to the AI to generate appropriate answers. Users can receive answers instantly.
[0254] 5. Incorporating an Emotional Engine
[0255] Additionally, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions. This engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to understand their current emotional state. As a result, the feedback and advice can be tailored to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the engine will generate a particularly reassuring and positive message.

[0502] The server passes the collected data to a data analysis module (AIAdvisor), which analyzes past income and expenditure patterns to assess the user's financial situation. Based on this assessment, it generates specific advice and feedback.
[0503] 3. Generating feedback and advice
[0504] The generated feedback and advice is sent to the user via push notifications, emails, etc. For example, a message such as "Your spending this month is within budget. Keep it up."
[0505] 4. Two-way chat function
[0506] Users can use a smartphone application to send questions to the system. The server receives these questions in real time and passes them to a data analysis module to generate answers. For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the system generates the answer, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals."
[0507] 5. Application of Emotion Engine
[0508] The Emotion Engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to understand their current emotional state. Based on this, it adjusts the feedback and advice it provides. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, it generates a positive message that is particularly reassuring. Specifically, it provides a message like, "Your efforts are paying off. If you keep at it, you'll get even better results."
[0509] Specific examples
[0510] Example 1:
[0511] User: "I'm worried about my recent expenses."
[0512] Application: "Your expenses seem to be increasing, but other expenses are being cut. Let's start by reviewing your spending on essentials and see how much you have left over."
[0513] Example 2:
[0514] User: "I'm having trouble saving money."
[0515] Application: "I recommend setting a fixed monthly savings amount and automatically allocating it. This will help you avoid overspending."
[0516] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0517] Prompt: "Parse the emotional financial comments entered by the user in the following format and generate appropriate feedback: [User Input]: {User Input Data} [Feedback]: {Feedback}"
[0518] This system allows users to understand their financial situation in real time and manage it with peace of mind. In addition, the introduction of an emotion engine enables flexible responses based on the user's emotions, making the system even more user-friendly.
[0519] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0520] Step 1:
[0521] A user logs in to a smartphone application. When the user logs in to the application, the server authenticates the user and, after authentication is complete, begins collecting financial data with the user's permission. The input is the user's login information and authentication token, and the output is the authenticated user's financial data. The financial data is obtained via an API and includes information such as income, expenses, and savings.
[0522] Step 2:
[0523] The server sends the collected financial data to a data analysis module (AIAdvisor). The input data is the collected financial data, and the output is the analysis results. AIAdvisor analyzes past income and expenditure patterns to assess the user's current financial situation. In doing so, it identifies income and expenditure trends and detects abnormal income and expenses.
[0524] Step 3:
[0525] The server uses the analysis results obtained from AIAdvisor to generate feedback and advice. The input is the analysis results, and the output is feedback and advice messages. For example, the server generates a message such as, "This month's expenses are within budget. Let's keep it up."
[0526] Step 4:
[0527] The server notifies the user of the generated feedback and advice via a smartphone application. The input data are the generated feedback and advice messages, and the output is a notification displayed on the user side, allowing the user to check their financial situation in real time.
[0528] Step 5:
[0529] A user uses the two-way chat feature to submit a specific question. The input data is the question from the user, and the output is a confirmation of receipt by the server. For example, a user might ask, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?"
[0530] Step 6:
[0531] The server passes the received question to the data analysis module, which generates an answer in real time. The input data is the question from the user, and the output is the answer from the analysis module. For example, the generated advice might be, "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawal."
[0532] Step 7:
[0533] The server notifies the user of the generated answer via a smartphone application. The input data is the generated answer, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's side. The user can get the answer immediately.
[0534] Step 8:
[0535] The Emotion Engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to detect their emotional state. The input data is the user's text input or behavioral data, and the output is a label for the emotional state (e.g., anxious, relieved). If the user is feeling anxious, the Emotion Engine will detect that state.
[0536] Step 9:
[0537] The server adjusts the content of the feedback and advice based on the detected emotional state. The input data is the output of the emotion engine and the generated feedback and advice, and the output is the adjusted feedback and advice. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, a reassuring message such as "Your efforts are paying off. If you keep going, you will get even better results" is generated.
[0538] Step 10:
[0539] The server then sends the user feedback and advice after the adjustment via a smartphone application. The input data is the feedback and advice after the adjustment, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's side. This allows the user to receive positive feedback and continue managing their finances with peace of mind.
[0540] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0541] 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.

[0638] Example 1
[0639] 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 smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0640] Currently, in order for users to understand their financial situation and receive appropriate feedback and advice, they must manually enter a large amount of information and analyze that data. Furthermore, it is difficult to obtain specific advice in real time through two-way communication, making it difficult to achieve efficient financial management. This poses a challenge, as it can make users feel anxious and stressed about their financial management.
[0641] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0654] The present invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes a user's financial data and provides feedback and advice based on the results, helping users to eliminate anxiety about their income and expenses and to better manage their finances.
[0655] System Overview
[0656] The basic components of the system are:
[0657] server
[0658] Terminal
[0659] User
[0660] AI Module
[0661] Users access the system through devices such as smartphones and PCs. When a user logs in to the application, the server automatically collects the user's income and expenditure data via the API of the electronic payment system and sends it to the device.
[0662] Data collection
[0663] The server calls an API to collect the user's financial data the moment the user logs in. To ensure security, the server uses an authentication protocol such as OAuth. For example, when a user logs in to a banking app, the server uses the bank's API to obtain income and expense data.
[0664] Data analysis
[0665] The collected data is sent to the device, where it is analyzed by an AI module on the device. The AI module uses machine learning algorithms to analyze income and expenditure patterns by comparing them with past data. It also predicts necessary expenses based on the user's age and family composition. For example, if the user has a family of three, it will analyze data from the past six months and predict necessary expenses such as food and education.
[0666] Feedback Generation
[0667] Based on the analysis results, the terminal generates appropriate feedback and advice for the user. For example, it may generate a message saying, "This month's expenses are within budget. Keep it up." This generated message is sent to the server, which then notifies the user.
[0668] Notifications and chat features
[0669] The generated feedback and advice are notified to the user via the server. The user receives this as a push notification on their smartphone or an in-app message. Users can also send specific questions using the two-way chat function. For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the server passes the question to the AI, which generates an appropriate answer. The AI generates an answer such as, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals," and notifies the user via the server.
[0670] Specific examples
[0671] Data collection
[0672] User: "I log in to the app on my phone."
[0673] Server: "Call the API and get the user's income and expenditure data."
[0674] Server: "Send the collected data to the device."
[0675] Data analysis
[0676] Terminal: "Pass received data to AI module."
[0677] AI: "Analyze your income and expenditure patterns over the past six months."
[0678] AI: "Predict and compare spending needs based on family structure."
[0679] Feedback Generation
[0680] Terminal: "Receives analysis results from AI and generates positive feedback and advice."
[0681] Device: "Generate a message saying, 'Your expenses are within budget this month. Keep it up.'"
[0682] Terminal: "Send the generated message to the server."
[0683] Notifications and chat features
[0684] Server: "Notify the user of the generated feedback message."
[0685] User: "I want to be notified that I'm within my budget this month. Keep it up."
[0686] User: "I use the chat feature to ask, 'Do you have any specific tips for increasing my savings?'"
[0687] Server: "Receives the question and passes it to the AI to generate an answer."
[0688] AI: "Generate the answer 'We recommend setting a monthly savings amount and setting up automatic withdrawals.'"
[0689] Server: "Send the generated answer to the user."
[0690] This system allows users to understand their financial situation in real time and receive appropriate and specific advice, which will serve as a powerful tool to reduce users' anxiety about financial management and help them live their daily lives with peace of mind.
[0691] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0692] Step 1:
[0693] The server detects when a user logs into a smartphone app. Using this as input, the server calls the API of an electronic payment system (e.g., bank account or credit card) to collect the user's income and expenditure data. The collected financial data is then stored in the server's internal database.
[0694] Step 2:
[0695] The server sends the collected financial data to the device. Specifically, it uses an encrypted protocol (e.g., HTTPS) to transfer the user's income and expenditure data to the device, which then obtains the data necessary for analysis.
[0696] Step 3:
[0697] The terminal passes the financial data received from the server to the AI module. In this process, the terminal formats the received data and converts it into a format that the AI module can easily understand. The converted data is then input into the AI module.
[0698] Step 4:
[0699] The AI module analyzes income and expenditure patterns over the past six months based on the financial data it receives as input. Specifically, it uses machine learning algorithms to cleanse the data, extract features, and recognize patterns. The results of this analysis are used as the basis for assessing the user's financial situation.
[0700] Step 5:
[0701] The AI module takes into account additional information such as the user's age, family structure, and set goals to predict income and expenditure balances and necessary expenditures. This data processing and calculation produces more accurate analysis results, which are then output to the device.
[0702] Step 6:
[0703] The device generates feedback and advice for the user based on the analysis results received from the AI module. During this generation process, a message such as "Your expenses this month are within budget. Keep it up." The generated message is stored on the device as feedback data.
[0704] Step 7:
[0705] The terminal sends the generated feedback and advice to the server, which then prepares the received feedback for notification to the user. This process includes formatting, encoding, and encryption of the feedback data.
[0706] Step 8:
[0707] The server notifies the user of the generated feedback message in real time as a push notification or an in-app message on their smartphone. The user receives the notification on their device and checks the feedback content.
[0708] Step 9:
[0709] Using the two-way chat function, users can send specific questions to the system, such as, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?" This question is sent to the server as chat data.
[0710] Step 10:
[0711] The server passes the question received from the user to the AI module, which starts the process of generating an answer. The AI module analyzes the content of the question and generates an appropriate answer. For example, it might generate an answer such as, "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawal."
[0712] Step 11:
[0713] The answer generated by the AI module is returned to the server, which formats and encodes the data to notify the user, providing the answer in a user-friendly format.
[0714] Step 12:
[0715] The server then sends the generated answers to the user, who can then review the answers on their device and receive specific advice. This process allows users to receive practical advice on financial management in real time.
[0716] (Application example 1)
[0717] 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."
[0718] Conventional financial management systems have had problems such as the time and effort required for users to manually input income and expenditure data, and delays in providing feedback.In addition, it is difficult to provide advice that fully takes into account the specific circumstances of each individual user, making it difficult to carry out effective financial management.
[0719] 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.
[0720] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting financial data from a user, means for analyzing the collected financial data and analyzing income and expenditure trends, means for generating feedback and advice based on the analysis results, means for notifying the user of the generated feedback and advice, means for providing a two-way communication function that allows the user to submit questions, means for using a generative AI model to generate content for questions and answers, and means for notifying the user of the generated answers, thereby enabling the user to grasp their financial situation in real time and receive specific and effective financial management advice.
[0721] "Financial Data" refers to information about a user's economic activities, such as income, expenditure, savings, and investments.
[0722] "Collection means" refers to a method or device for obtaining financial data from a user.
[0723] "Analytical tools" refers to methods and devices for analyzing collected financial data and understanding trends in income and expenses.
[0724] "Feedback" or "advice" is guidance or suggestions provided to the user based on the analysis results.
[0725] "Notification means" refers to a method or device for conveying generated feedback or advice to the user.
[0726] "Two-way communication capability" refers to a communication means that allows a user to submit questions and receive answers.

[0728] "Real-time" refers to responses or processing at or very close to the moment a user takes an action.
[0729] This invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes users' financial data and provides feedback and advice. Specifically, it consists of three main components: a server, a terminal, and a user.
[0730] First, the server collects financial data from the user, including income and expenditure data from the user's use of the electronic payment system. The server automatically obtains this data through API and transmits the collected data to the terminal.
[0731] The device then performs an analysis based on the received data, which involves evaluating the user's past income and expenditure trends and deriving patterns for a specific period of time. It also takes into account factors such as the user's age and family structure, and generates optimal recommendations based on that.
[0732] Once the analysis is complete, the device generates feedback and advice based on the analysis. For example, it may generate positive feedback such as, "Your expenses this month are within budget. Keep it up." This feedback is then sent to the user via the server.
[0733] Users can also send questions using the two-way communication function. The server receives these questions and uses the generative AI model to generate appropriate answers. For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the generative AI model will generate the answer, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals," and notify the user.
[0734] The hardware and software used include a data acquisition point (usually an API), an analysis engine (including an AI module), and a notification system. Specifically, a common web framework (e.g., Flask) can be used for the API. AI analysis uses AI models such as Hugging Face's Transformers. The notification system uses the push notification function of a smartphone.
[0735] For example, when a user logs into the app and provides financial data, the server calls an API to collect the data, which is then passed to an on-device AI module that analyzes income and expenses over the past six months and generates optimal feedback.
[0736] An example of a prompt is:
[0737] If a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the generative AI model will generate the answer, "To increase your savings, we recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals. It is also effective to review unnecessary subscriptions and use them to increase your savings."
[0738] In this way, the system provides users with real-time, specific financial management advice, helping to alleviate their financial worries.
[0739] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0740] Step 1:
[0741] The server collects the user's financial data through an electronic payment system by the user logging in to a smartphone app. This collection involves automatically obtaining the user's income and expenditure data using an API. The input data is the user's electronic payment history, and the output data is the financial data sent to the terminal in a structured format.
[0742] Step 2:
[0743] The terminal receives financial data sent from the server. The received data is first passed to an AI analysis module, which analyzes trends in income and expenditure data over the past six months. The input data is the collected financial data, and the output data is the analysis results showing income and expenditure patterns.
[0744] Step 3:
[0745] The device generates feedback and advice for the user based on the analysis results of the AI analysis module. For example, it creates a positive message such as, "This month's expenses are within budget, so your savings are increasing." The input data is the analysis result of step 2, and the output data is the generated feedback message.
[0746] Step 4:
[0747] The generated feedback and advice are sent to the server, which then notifies the user using the smartphone's push notification function. The input data is the feedback message generated in step 3, and the output data is the message sent to the user's device.
[0748] Step 5:
[0749] Users can submit questions using the two-way communication feature within the app. For example, a user might ask, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?" The input data is the user's question, and the output data is the question sent to the server through the two-way communication channel.
[0750] Step 6:
[0751] The server passes the received user question to a generative AI model, which generates an answer in real time. The generative AI model generates optimal advice by taking into account the user's income and expenditure data, age, family composition, etc. The input data is the user's question and related financial data, and the output data is the generated answer.
[0752] Step 7:
[0753] The generated answer is notified to the user via the server. For example, specific advice such as "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawals" is sent to the user. The input data is the answer generated in step 6, and the output data is the advice notified to the user.
[0754] As described above, through the specific operations performed at each processing step, the system is able to grasp the user's financial situation in real time and provide appropriate feedback and advice.
[0755] 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.
[0756] This invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes a user's financial data and provides feedback and advice based on the results. By combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to respond according to the user's emotions. This allows users to manage their own financial situation with peace of mind and receive appropriate advice.
[0757] System configuration
[0758] The system includes the following main components:
[0759] 1. Server
[0760] 2. Terminal
[0761] 3. Users
[0762] 4. Emotion Engine
[0763] Program processing flow
[0764] 1. Data Collection
[0765] The server first collects the user's financial data, which includes retrieving data from the user's electronic payment system. When the user logs into the application, the server automatically collects the data via an API.
[0766] 2. Data Analysis
[0767] Once the data is collected, the on-device AI analyzes it to identify income and expenditure trends, compare them with historical data, and assess the user's financial situation, based on the user's age, family structure, and set goals.
[0768] 3. Feedback Generation
[0769] Based on the analysis results, the device generates appropriate feedback and advice for the user, including advice on how to manage expenses and save money. For example, positive feedback such as "Your expenses this month are within budget, so your savings are increasing" is provided.
[0770] 4. Notifications and Chat Features
[0771] The generated feedback and advice is sent to the user via the server, allowing the user to check their financial situation in real time. Users can also send specific questions using the two-way chat function. The server analyzes these questions and passes them to the AI to generate appropriate answers. Users can receive answers instantly.
[0772] 5. Incorporating an Emotional Engine
[0773] Additionally, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions. This engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to understand their current emotional state. As a result, the feedback and advice can be tailored to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the engine will generate a particularly reassuring and positive message.

For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the system generates the answer, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals."
[1025] 5. Application of Emotion Engine
[1026] The Emotion Engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to understand their current emotional state. Based on this, it adjusts the feedback and advice it provides. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, it generates a positive message that is particularly reassuring. Specifically, it provides a message like, "Your efforts are paying off. If you keep at it, you'll get even better results."
[1027] Specific examples
[1028] Example 1:
[1029] User: "I'm worried about my recent expenses."
[1030] Application: "Your expenses seem to be increasing, but other expenses are being cut. Let's start by reviewing your spending on essentials and see how much you have left over."
[1031] Example 2:
[1032] User: "I'm having trouble saving money."
[1033] Application: "I recommend setting a fixed monthly savings amount and automatically allocating it. This will help you avoid overspending."
[1034] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1035] Prompt: "Parse the emotional financial comments entered by the user in the following format and generate appropriate feedback: [User Input]: {User Input Data} [Feedback]: {Feedback}"
[1036] This system allows users to understand their financial situation in real time and manage it with peace of mind. In addition, the introduction of an emotion engine enables flexible responses based on the user's emotions, making the system even more user-friendly.
[1037] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1038] Step 1:
[1039] A user logs in to a smartphone application. When the user logs in to the application, the server authenticates the user and, after authentication is complete, begins collecting financial data with the user's permission. The input is the user's login information and authentication token, and the output is the authenticated user's financial data. The financial data is obtained via an API and includes information such as income, expenses, and savings.
[1040] Step 2:
[1041] The server sends the collected financial data to a data analysis module (AIAdvisor). The input data is the collected financial data, and the output is the analysis results. AIAdvisor analyzes past income and expenditure patterns to assess the user's current financial situation. In doing so, it identifies income and expenditure trends and detects abnormal income and expenses.
[1042] Step 3:
[1043] The server uses the analysis results obtained from AIAdvisor to generate feedback and advice. The input is the analysis results, and the output is feedback and advice messages. For example, the server generates a message such as, "This month's expenses are within budget. Let's keep it up."
[1044] Step 4:
[1045] The server notifies the user of the generated feedback and advice via a smartphone application. The input data are the generated feedback and advice messages, and the output is a notification displayed on the user side, allowing the user to check their financial situation in real time.
[1046] Step 5:
[1047] A user uses the two-way chat feature to submit a specific question. The input data is the question from the user, and the output is a confirmation of receipt by the server. For example, a user might ask, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?"
[1048] Step 6:
[1049] The server passes the received question to the data analysis module, which generates an answer in real time. The input data is the question from the user, and the output is the answer from the analysis module. For example, the generated advice might be, "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawal."
[1050] Step 7:
[1051] The server notifies the user of the generated answer via a smartphone application. The input data is the generated answer, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's side. The user can get the answer immediately.
[1052] Step 8:
[1053] The Emotion Engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to detect their emotional state. The input data is the user's text input or behavioral data, and the output is a label for the emotional state (e.g., anxious, relieved). If the user is feeling anxious, the Emotion Engine will detect that state.
[1054] Step 9:
[1055] The server adjusts the content of the feedback and advice based on the detected emotional state. The input data is the output of the emotion engine and the generated feedback and advice, and the output is the adjusted feedback and advice. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, a reassuring message such as "Your efforts are paying off. If you keep going, you will get even better results" is generated.
[1056] Step 10:
[1057] The server then sends the user feedback and advice after the adjustment via a smartphone application. The input data is the feedback and advice after the adjustment, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's side. This allows the user to receive positive feedback and continue managing their finances with peace of mind.
[1058] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio 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 audio data.
[1059] 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.

[1156] Example 1
[1157] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1158] Currently, in order for users to understand their financial situation and receive appropriate feedback and advice, they must manually enter a large amount of information and analyze that data. Furthermore, it is difficult to obtain specific advice in real time through two-way communication, making it difficult to achieve efficient financial management. This poses a challenge, as it can make users feel anxious and stressed about their financial management.
[1159] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1172] The present invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes a user's financial data and provides feedback and advice based on the results, helping users to eliminate anxiety about their income and expenses and to better manage their finances.
[1173] System Overview
[1174] The basic components of the system are:
[1175] server
[1176] Terminal
[1177] User
[1178] AI Module
[1179] Users access the system through devices such as smartphones and PCs. When a user logs in to the application, the server automatically collects the user's income and expenditure data via the API of the electronic payment system and sends it to the device.
[1180] Data collection
[1181] The server calls an API to collect the user's financial data the moment the user logs in. To ensure security, the server uses an authentication protocol such as OAuth. For example, when a user logs in to a banking app, the server uses the bank's API to obtain income and expense data.
[1182] Data analysis
[1183] The collected data is sent to the device, where it is analyzed by an AI module on the device. The AI module uses machine learning algorithms to analyze income and expenditure patterns by comparing them with past data. It also predicts necessary expenses based on the user's age and family composition. For example, if the user has a family of three, it will analyze data from the past six months and predict necessary expenses such as food and education.
[1184] Feedback Generation
[1185] Based on the analysis results, the terminal generates appropriate feedback and advice for the user. For example, it may generate a message saying, "This month's expenses are within budget. Keep it up." This generated message is sent to the server, which then notifies the user.
[1186] Notifications and chat features
[1187] The generated feedback and advice are notified to the user via the server. The user receives this as a push notification on their smartphone or an in-app message. Users can also send specific questions using the two-way chat function. For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the server passes the question to the AI, which generates an appropriate answer. The AI generates an answer such as, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals," and notifies the user via the server.
[1188] Specific examples
[1189] Data collection
[1190] User: "I log in to the app on my phone."
[1191] Server: "Call the API and get the user's income and expenditure data."
[1192] Server: "Send the collected data to the device."
[1193] Data analysis
[1194] Terminal: "Pass received data to AI module."
[1195] AI: "Analyze your income and expenditure patterns over the past six months."
[1196] AI: "Predict and compare spending needs based on family structure."
[1197] Feedback Generation
[1198] Terminal: "Receives analysis results from AI and generates positive feedback and advice."
[1199] Device: "Generate a message saying, 'Your expenses are within budget this month. Keep it up.'"
[1200] Terminal: "Send the generated message to the server."
[1201] Notifications and chat features
[1202] Server: "Notify the user of the generated feedback message."
[1203] User: "I want to be notified that I'm within my budget this month. Keep it up."
[1204] User: "I use the chat feature to ask, 'Do you have any specific tips for increasing my savings?'"
[1205] Server: "Receives the question and passes it to the AI to generate an answer."
[1206] AI: "Generate the answer 'We recommend setting a monthly savings amount and setting up automatic withdrawals.'"
[1207] Server: "Send the generated answer to the user."
[1208] This system allows users to understand their financial situation in real time and receive appropriate and specific advice, which is a powerful tool to reduce users' anxiety about financial management and help them live their daily lives with peace of mind.
[1209] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1210] Step 1:
[1211] The server detects when a user logs into the smartphone app. Using this as input, the server calls the API of an electronic payment system (e.g., bank account or credit card) to collect the user's income and expenditure data. The collected financial data is then stored in the server's internal database.
[1212] Step 2:
[1213] The server sends the collected financial data to the device. Specifically, it uses an encrypted protocol (e.g., HTTPS) to transfer the user's income and expenditure data to the device, which then obtains the data necessary for analysis.
[1214] Step 3:
[1215] The terminal passes the financial data received from the server to the AI module. In this process, the terminal formats the received data and converts it into a format that the AI module can easily understand. The converted data is then input into the AI module.
[1216] Step 4:
[1217] The AI module takes financial data as input and analyzes income and expenditure patterns over the past six months. Specifically, it uses machine learning algorithms to cleanse the data, extract features, and recognize patterns. The results of this analysis are used as the basis for assessing the user's financial situation.
[1218] Step 5:
[1219] The AI module takes into account additional information such as the user's age, family structure, and set goals to predict income and expenditure balances and necessary expenditures. This data processing and calculation produces more accurate analysis results, which are then output to the device.
[1220] Step 6:
[1221] The device generates feedback and advice for the user based on the analysis results received from the AI module. During this generation process, a message such as "Your expenses this month are within budget. Keep it up." The generated message is stored on the device as feedback data.
[1222] Step 7:
[1223] The terminal sends the generated feedback and advice to the server, which then prepares the received feedback for notification to the user. This process includes formatting, encoding, and encryption of the feedback data.
[1224] Step 8:
[1225] The server notifies the user of the generated feedback message in real time as a push notification or an in-app message on their smartphone. The user receives the notification on their device and checks the feedback content.
[1226] Step 9:
[1227] Using the two-way chat function, users can send specific questions to the system, such as, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?" This question is sent to the server as chat data.
[1228] Step 10:
[1229] The server passes the question received from the user to the AI module, which starts the process of generating an answer. The AI module analyzes the content of the question and generates an appropriate answer. For example, it might generate an answer such as, "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawal."
[1230] Step 11:
[1231] The answer generated by the AI module is returned to the server, which formats and encodes the data to provide the answer to the user in a user-friendly format.
[1232] Step 12:
[1233] The server then sends the generated answers to the user, who can then review the answers on their device and receive specific advice. This process allows users to receive practical advice on financial management in real time.
[1234] (Application example 1)
[1235] 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."
[1236] Conventional financial management systems have had problems such as the time and effort required for users to manually input income and expenditure data, and delays in providing feedback.In addition, they do not provide advice that fully takes into account the specific circumstances of each individual user, making it difficult to carry out effective financial management.
[1237] 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.
[1238] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting financial data from a user, means for analyzing the collected financial data and analyzing income and expenditure trends, means for generating feedback and advice based on the analysis results, means for notifying the user of the generated feedback and advice, means for providing a two-way communication function that allows the user to submit questions, means for using a generative AI model to generate questions and answers, and means for notifying the user of the generated answers, thereby enabling the user to grasp their financial situation in real time and receive specific and effective financial management advice.
[1239] "Financial Data" refers to information about a user's economic activities, such as income, expenditure, savings, and investments.
[1240] "Collection means" refers to a method or device for obtaining financial data from a user.
[1241] "Analytical tools" refers to methods and devices for analyzing collected financial data and understanding trends in income and expenses.
[1242] "Feedback" or "advice" is guidance or suggestions provided to the user based on the analysis results.
[1243] "Notification means" refers to a method or device for conveying generated feedback or advice to the user.
[1244] "Two-way communication capability" refers to a communication means that allows a user to submit questions and receive answers.
[1245] "Generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence model that automatically generates question and answer content.
[1246] "Real-time" refers to responses or processing at or very close to the moment a user takes an action.
[1247] This invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes users' financial data and provides feedback and advice. Specifically, it consists of three main components: a server, a terminal, and a user.
[1248] First, the server collects financial data from the user, including income and expenditure data from the user's use of the electronic payment system. The server automatically obtains this data through API and transmits the collected data to the terminal.
[1249] The device then performs an analysis based on the received data, which involves evaluating the user's past income and expenditure trends and deriving patterns for a specific period of time. It also takes into account factors such as the user's age and family structure, and generates optimal recommendations based on that.
[1250] Once the analysis is complete, the device generates feedback and advice based on the analysis. For example, it may generate positive feedback such as, "Your expenses this month are within budget. Keep it up." This feedback is then sent to the user via the server.
[1251] Users can also send questions using the two-way communication function. The server receives these questions and uses the generative AI model to generate appropriate answers. For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the generative AI model will generate the answer, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals," and notify the user.
[1252] The hardware and software used include a data acquisition point (usually an API), an analysis engine (including an AI module), and a notification system. Specifically, a common web framework (e.g., Flask) can be used for the API. AI analysis uses AI models such as Hugging Face's Transformers. The notification system uses the push notification function of a smartphone.
[1253] For example, when a user logs into the app and provides financial data, the server calls an API to collect the data, which is then passed to an on-device AI module that analyzes income and expenses over the past six months and generates optimal feedback.
[1254] An example of a prompt is:
[1255] If a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the generative AI model will generate the answer, "To increase your savings, we recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals. It is also effective to review unnecessary subscriptions and use them to increase your savings."
[1256] In this way, the system provides users with real-time, specific financial management advice, helping to alleviate their financial worries.
[1257] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1258] Step 1:
[1259] The server collects the user's financial data through an electronic payment system by the user logging in to a smartphone app. This collection involves automatically obtaining the user's income and expenditure data using an API. The input data is the user's electronic payment history, and the output data is the financial data sent to the terminal in a structured format.
[1260] Step 2:
[1261] The terminal receives financial data sent from the server. The received data is first passed to an AI analysis module, which analyzes trends in income and expenditure data over the past six months. The input data is the collected financial data, and the output data is the analysis results showing income and expenditure patterns.
[1262] Step 3:
[1263] The device generates feedback and advice for the user based on the analysis results of the AI analysis module. For example, it creates a positive message such as, "This month's expenses are within budget, so your savings are increasing." The input data is the analysis result of step 2, and the output data is the generated feedback message.
[1264] Step 4:
[1265] The generated feedback and advice are sent to the server, which then notifies the user using the smartphone's push notification function. The input data is the feedback message generated in step 3, and the output data is the message sent to the user's device.
[1266] Step 5:
[1267] Users can submit questions using the two-way communication feature within the app. For example, a user might ask, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?" The input data is the user's question, and the output data is the question sent to the server through the two-way communication channel.
[1268] Step 6:
[1269] The server passes the received user question to a generative AI model, which generates an answer in real time. The generative AI model generates optimal advice by taking into account the user's income and expenditure data, age, family composition, etc. The input data is the user's question and related financial data, and the output data is the generated answer.
[1270] Step 7:
[1271] The generated answer is notified to the user via the server. For example, specific advice such as "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawals" is sent to the user. The input data is the answer generated in step 6, and the output data is the advice notified to the user.
[1272] As described above, through the specific operations performed at each processing step, the system is able to grasp the user's financial situation in real time and provide appropriate feedback and advice.
[1273] 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.
[1274] This invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes a user's financial data and provides feedback and advice based on the results. By combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to respond according to the user's emotions. This allows users to manage their own financial situation with peace of mind and receive appropriate advice.
[1275] System configuration
[1276] The system includes the following main components:
[1277] 1. Server
[1278] 2. Terminal
[1279] 3. Users
[1280] 4. Emotion Engine
[1281] Program processing flow
[1282] 1. Data Collection
[1283] The server first collects the user's financial data, which includes retrieving data from the user's electronic payment system. When the user logs into the application, the server automatically collects the data via an API.
[1284] 2. Data Analysis
[1285] Once the data is collected, the on-device AI analyzes it to identify income and expenditure trends, compare them with historical data, and assess the user's financial situation, based on the user's age, family structure, and set goals.
[1286] 3. Feedback Generation
[1287] Based on the analysis results, the device generates appropriate feedback and advice for the user, including advice on how to manage expenses and save money. For example, positive feedback such as "Your expenses this month are within budget, so your savings are increasing" is provided.
[1288] 4. Notifications and Chat Features
[1289] The generated feedback and advice is sent to the user via the server, allowing the user to check their financial situation in real time. Users can also send specific questions using the two-way chat function. The server analyzes these questions and passes them to the AI to generate appropriate answers. Users can receive answers instantly.
[1290] 5. Incorporating an Emotional Engine
[1291] Additionally, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions. This engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to understand their current emotional state. As a result, the feedback and advice can be tailored to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the engine will generate a particularly reassuring and positive message.

[1512] (Application example 2)
[1513] 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."
[1514] While conventional financial management systems can collect and analyze income and expenditure data, they lack the functionality to provide feedback and advice tailored to the user's emotional state. As a result, users often find it difficult to receive appropriate support even when they feel anxious about their financial situation, resulting in poor financial management. The present invention aims to solve this problem and enable users to manage their finances with peace of mind.
[1515] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting financial data from the user, means for analyzing the collected financial data and analyzing income and expenditure trends, and means for generating feedback and advice based on the analysis results. This makes it possible to analyze the user's financial situation in real time and provide appropriate feedback and advice. Furthermore, by analyzing the user's emotions using an emotion engine and adjusting the content of the feedback and advice according to the emotions, it is possible to provide the user with a sense of security and more effectively support financial management.
[1516] "User" refers to an entity that uses the system to manage financial data and receive feedback.
[1517] "Financial Data" is a general term for information regarding a user's income, expenses, savings, investments, etc.
[1518] "Means of collection" refers to the mechanism for electronically obtaining a user's financial data, and may use methods such as API connections.
[1519] "Analytical means" refers to the algorithms and processes used to analyze collected financial data and analyze trends in income and expenditures.
[1520] The "means for generating feedback and advice" is a means having a function for automatically generating appropriate suggestions and advice for the user based on the analysis results.
[1521] "Means for notification" refers to a mechanism for electronically notifying the user of generated feedback or advice, including push notifications and emails.
[1522] A "means for providing two-way chat functionality" is something that provides an interface for users to interact with the system, submit questions, and receive answers in real time.
[1523] "Means for generating answers in real time" refers to an algorithm that responds immediately to questions from users and generates appropriate answers.
[1524] "Emotion analysis means" refers to technology for detecting and analyzing a user's emotions, and uses methods such as text analysis and tone of voice analysis.
[1525] The "means for adjusting the content of feedback and advice" has a function of changing the expression and content of feedback and advice based on the emotion analysis results to match the emotional state of the user.
[1526] The present invention provides a system that collects and analyzes a user's financial data, provides appropriate feedback and advice, and responds according to the user's emotions using an emotion engine. This system includes a server, a terminal, and a user interface. A specific embodiment of the system is described below.
[1527] System configuration
[1528] Hardware and Software
[1529] Hardware: Smartphone
[1530] software:
[1531] API: The API used to collect financial data (e.g., Financial Data API)
[1532] Emotion Engine: EmotionEngine module (used to analyze user emotions)
[1533] Data Analysis Module: AIAdvisor module (used to analyze financial data and generate advice)
[1534] System Operation
[1535] 1. Data Collection
[1536] The server collects financial data with the user's permission through the user's smartphone application, using an API to obtain data such as the user's income, expenses, and savings.
[1537] 2. Data Analysis
[1538] The server passes the collected data to a data analysis module (AIAdvisor), which analyzes past income and expenditure patterns to assess the user's financial situation. Based on this assessment, it generates specific advice and feedback.
[1539] 3. Generating feedback and advice
[1540] The generated feedback and advice is sent to the user via push notifications, emails, etc. For example, a message such as "Your spending this month is within budget. Keep it up."
[1541] 4. Two-way chat function
[1542] Users can use a smartphone application to send questions to the system. The server receives these questions in real time and passes them to a data analysis module to generate answers. For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the system generates the answer, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals."
[1543] 5. Application of Emotion Engine
[1544] The Emotion Engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to understand their current emotional state. Based on this, it adjusts the feedback and advice it provides. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, it generates a positive message that is particularly reassuring. Specifically, it provides a message like, "Your efforts are paying off. If you keep at it, you'll get even better results."
[1545] Specific examples
[1546] Example 1:
[1547] User: "I'm worried about my recent expenses."
[1548] Application: "Your expenses seem to be increasing, but other expenses are being cut. Let's start by reviewing your spending on essentials and see how much you have left over."
[1549] Example 2:
[1550] User: "I'm having trouble saving money."
[1551] Application: "I recommend setting a fixed monthly savings amount and automatically allocating it. This will help you avoid overspending."
[1552] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1553] Prompt: "Parse the emotional financial comments entered by the user in the following format and generate appropriate feedback: [User Input]: {User Input Data} [Feedback]: {Feedback}"
[1554] This system allows users to understand their financial situation in real time and manage it with peace of mind. In addition, the introduction of an emotion engine enables flexible responses based on the user's emotions, making the system even more user-friendly.
[1555] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1556] Step 1:
[1557] A user logs in to a smartphone application. When the user logs in to the application, the server authenticates the user and, after authentication is complete, begins collecting financial data with the user's permission. The input is the user's login information and authentication token, and the output is the authenticated user's financial data. The financial data is obtained via an API and includes information such as income, expenses, and savings.
[1558] Step 2:
[1559] The server sends the collected financial data to a data analysis module (AIAdvisor). The input data is the collected financial data, and the output is the analysis results. AIAdvisor analyzes past income and expenditure patterns to assess the user's current financial situation. In doing so, it identifies income and expenditure trends and detects abnormal income and expenses.
[1560] Step 3:
[1561] The server uses the analysis results obtained from AIAdvisor to generate feedback and advice. The input is the analysis results, and the output is feedback and advice messages. For example, the server generates a message such as, "This month's expenses are within budget. Let's keep it up."
[1562] Step 4:
[1563] The server notifies the user of the generated feedback and advice via a smartphone application. The input data are the generated feedback and advice messages, and the output is a notification displayed on the user side, allowing the user to check their financial situation in real time.
[1564] Step 5:
[1565] A user uses the two-way chat feature to submit a specific question. The input data is the question from the user, and the output is a confirmation of receipt by the server. For example, a user might ask, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?"
[1566] Step 6:
[1567] The server passes the received question to the data analysis module, which generates an answer in real time. The input data is the question from the user, and the output is the answer from the analysis module. For example, the generated advice might be, "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawal."
[1568] Step 7:
[1569] The server notifies the user of the generated answer via a smartphone application. The input data is the generated answer, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's side. The user can get the answer immediately.
[1570] Step 8:
[1571] The Emotion Engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to detect their emotional state. The input data is the user's text input or behavioral data, and the output is a label for the emotional state (e.g., anxious, relieved). If the user is feeling anxious, the Emotion Engine will detect that state.
[1572] Step 9:
[1573] The server adjusts the content of the feedback and advice based on the detected emotional state. The input data is the output of the emotion engine and the generated feedback and advice, and the output is the adjusted feedback and advice. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, a reassuring message such as "Your efforts are paying off. If you keep going, you will get even better results" is generated.
[1574] Step 10:
[1575] The server then sends the user feedback and advice after the adjustment via a smartphone application. The input data is the feedback and advice after the adjustment, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's side. This allows the user to receive positive feedback and continue managing their finances with peace of mind.
[1576] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio 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 audio data.
[1577] 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.

[1675] Example 1
[1676] 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."
[1677] Currently, in order for users to understand their financial situation and receive appropriate feedback and advice, they must manually enter a large amount of information and analyze that data. Furthermore, it is difficult to obtain specific advice in real time through two-way communication, making it difficult to achieve efficient financial management. This poses a challenge, as it can make users feel anxious and stressed about their financial management.
[1678] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1691] The present invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes a user's financial data and provides feedback and advice based on the results, helping users to eliminate anxiety about their income and expenses and to better manage their finances.
[1692] System Overview
[1693] The basic components of the system are:
[1694] server
[1695] Terminal
[1696] User
[1697] AI Module
[1698] Users access the system through devices such as smartphones and PCs. When a user logs in to the application, the server automatically collects the user's income and expenditure data via the API of the electronic payment system and sends it to the device.
[1699] Data collection
[1700] The server calls an API to collect the user's financial data the moment the user logs in. To ensure security, the server uses an authentication protocol such as OAuth. For example, when a user logs in to a banking app, the server uses the bank's API to obtain income and expense data.
[1701] Data analysis
[1702] The collected data is sent to the device, where it is analyzed by an AI module on the device. The AI module uses machine learning algorithms to analyze income and expenditure patterns by comparing them with past data. It also predicts necessary expenses based on the user's age and family composition. For example, if the user has a family of three, it will analyze data from the past six months and predict necessary expenses such as food and education.
[1703] Feedback Generation
[1704] Based on the analysis results, the terminal generates appropriate feedback and advice for the user. For example, it may generate a message saying, "This month's expenses are within budget. Keep it up." This generated message is sent to the server, which then notifies the user.
[1705] Notifications and chat features
[1706] The generated feedback and advice are notified to the user via the server. The user receives this as a push notification on their smartphone or an in-app message. Users can also send specific questions using the two-way chat function. For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the server passes the question to the AI, which generates an appropriate answer. The AI generates an answer such as, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals," and notifies the user via the server.
[1707] Specific examples
[1708] Data collection
[1709] User: "I log in to the app on my phone."
[1710] Server: "Call the API and get the user's income and expenditure data."
[1711] Server: "Send the collected data to the device."
[1712] Data analysis
[1713] Terminal: "Pass received data to AI module."
[1714] AI: "Analyze your income and expenditure patterns over the past six months."
[1715] AI: "Predict and compare spending needs based on family structure."
[1716] Feedback Generation
[1717] Terminal: "Receives analysis results from AI and generates positive feedback and advice."
[1718] Device: "Generate a message saying, 'Your expenses are within budget this month. Keep it up.'"
[1719] Terminal: "Send the generated message to the server."
[1720] Notifications and chat features
[1721] Server: "Notify the user of the generated feedback message."
[1722] User: "I want to be notified that I'm within my budget this month. Keep it up."
[1723] User: "I use the chat feature to ask, 'Do you have any specific tips for increasing my savings?'"
[1724] Server: "Receives the question and passes it to the AI to generate an answer."
[1725] AI: "Generate the answer 'We recommend setting a monthly savings amount and setting up automatic withdrawals.'"
[1726] Server: "Send the generated answer to the user."
[1727] This system allows users to understand their financial situation in real time and receive appropriate and specific advice, which is a powerful tool to reduce users' anxiety about financial management and help them live their daily lives with peace of mind.
[1728] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1729] Step 1:
[1730] The server detects when a user logs into the smartphone app. Using this as input, the server calls the API of an electronic payment system (e.g., bank account or credit card) to collect the user's income and expenditure data. The collected financial data is then stored in the server's internal database.
[1731] Step 2:
[1732] The server sends the collected financial data to the device. Specifically, it uses an encrypted protocol (e.g., HTTPS) to transfer the user's income and expenditure data to the device, which then obtains the data necessary for analysis.
[1733] Step 3:
[1734] The terminal passes the financial data received from the server to the AI module. In this process, the terminal formats the received data and converts it into a format that the AI module can easily understand. The converted data is then input into the AI module.
[1735] Step 4:
[1736] The AI module takes financial data as input and analyzes income and expenditure patterns over the past six months. Specifically, it uses machine learning algorithms to cleanse the data, extract features, and recognize patterns. The results of this analysis are used as the basis for assessing the user's financial situation.
[1737] Step 5:
[1738] The AI module takes into account additional information such as the user's age, family structure, and set goals to predict income and expenditure balances and necessary expenditures. This data processing and calculation produces more accurate analysis results, which are then output to the device.
[1739] Step 6:
[1740] The device generates feedback and advice for the user based on the analysis results received from the AI module. During this generation process, a message such as "Your expenses this month are within budget. Keep it up." The generated message is stored on the device as feedback data.
[1741] Step 7:
[1742] The terminal sends the generated feedback and advice to the server, which then prepares the received feedback for notification to the user. This process includes formatting, encoding, and encryption of the feedback data.
[1743] Step 8:
[1744] The server notifies the user of the generated feedback message in real time as a push notification or an in-app message on their smartphone. The user receives the notification on their device and checks the feedback content.
[1745] Step 9:
[1746] Using the two-way chat function, users can send specific questions to the system, such as, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?" This question is sent to the server as chat data.
[1747] Step 10:
[1748] The server passes the question received from the user to the AI module, which starts the process of generating an answer. The AI module analyzes the content of the question and generates an appropriate answer. For example, it might generate an answer such as, "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawal."
[1749] Step 11:
[1750] The answer generated by the AI module is returned to the server, which formats and encodes the data to provide the answer to the user in a user-friendly format.
[1751] Step 12:
[1752] The server then sends the generated answers to the user, who can then review the answers on their device and receive specific advice. This process allows users to receive practical advice on financial management in real time.
[1753] (Application example 1)
[1754] 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."
[1755] Conventional financial management systems have had problems such as the time and effort required for users to manually input income and expenditure data, and delays in providing feedback.In addition, they do not provide advice that fully takes into account the specific circumstances of each individual user, making it difficult to carry out effective financial management.
[1756] 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.
[1757] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting financial data from a user, means for analyzing the collected financial data and analyzing income and expenditure trends, means for generating feedback and advice based on the analysis results, means for notifying the user of the generated feedback and advice, means for providing a two-way communication function that allows the user to submit questions, means for using a generative AI model to generate questions and answers, and means for notifying the user of the generated answers, thereby enabling the user to grasp their financial situation in real time and receive specific and effective financial management advice.
[1758] "Financial Data" refers to information about a user's economic activities, such as income, expenditure, savings, and investments.
[1759] "Collection means" refers to a method or device for obtaining financial data from a user.
[1760] "Analytical tools" refers to methods and devices for analyzing collected financial data and understanding trends in income and expenses.
[1761] "Feedback" or "advice" is guidance or suggestions provided to the user based on the analysis results.
[1762] "Notification means" refers to a method or device for conveying generated feedback or advice to the user.
[1763] "Two-way communication capability" refers to a communication means that allows a user to submit questions and receive answers.
[1764] "Generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence model that automatically generates question and answer content.
[1765] "Real-time" refers to responses or processing at or very close to the moment a user takes an action.
[1766] This invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes users' financial data and provides feedback and advice. Specifically, it consists of three main components: a server, a terminal, and a user.
[1767] First, the server collects financial data from the user, including income and expenditure data from the user's use of the electronic payment system. The server automatically obtains this data through API and transmits the collected data to the terminal.
[1768] The device then performs an analysis based on the received data, which involves evaluating the user's past income and expenditure trends and deriving patterns for a specific period of time. It also takes into account factors such as the user's age and family structure, and generates optimal recommendations based on that.
[1769] Once the analysis is complete, the device generates feedback and advice based on the analysis. For example, it may generate positive feedback such as, "Your expenses this month are within budget. Keep it up." This feedback is then sent to the user via the server.
[1770] Users can also send questions using the two-way communication function. The server receives these questions and uses the generative AI model to generate appropriate answers. For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the generative AI model will generate the answer, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals," and notify the user.
[1771] The hardware and software used include a data acquisition point (usually an API), an analysis engine (including an AI module), and a notification system. Specifically, a common web framework (e.g., Flask) can be used for the API. AI analysis uses AI models such as Hugging Face's Transformers. The notification system uses the push notification function of a smartphone.
[1772] For example, when a user logs into the app and provides financial data, the server calls an API to collect the data, which is then passed to an on-device AI module that analyzes income and expenses over the past six months and generates optimal feedback.
[1773] An example of a prompt is:
[1774] If a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the generative AI model will generate the answer, "To increase your savings, we recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals. It is also effective to review unnecessary subscriptions and use them to increase your savings."
[1775] In this way, the system provides users with real-time, specific financial management advice, helping to alleviate their financial worries.
[1776] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1777] Step 1:
[1778] The server collects the user's financial data through an electronic payment system by the user logging in to a smartphone app. This collection involves automatically obtaining the user's income and expenditure data using an API. The input data is the user's electronic payment history, and the output data is the financial data sent to the terminal in a structured format.
[1779] Step 2:
[1780] The terminal receives financial data sent from the server. The received data is first passed to an AI analysis module, which analyzes trends in income and expenditure data over the past six months. The input data is the collected financial data, and the output data is the analysis results showing income and expenditure patterns.
[1781] Step 3:
[1782] The device generates feedback and advice for the user based on the analysis results of the AI analysis module. For example, it creates a positive message such as, "This month's expenses are within budget, so your savings are increasing." The input data is the analysis result of step 2, and the output data is the generated feedback message.
[1783] Step 4:
[1784] The generated feedback and advice are sent to the server, which then notifies the user using the smartphone's push notification function. The input data is the feedback message generated in step 3, and the output data is the message sent to the user's device.
[1785] Step 5:
[1786] Users can submit questions using the two-way communication feature within the app. For example, a user might ask, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?" The input data is the user's question, and the output data is the question sent to the server through the two-way communication channel.
[1787] Step 6:
[1788] The server passes the received user question to a generative AI model, which generates an answer in real time. The generative AI model generates optimal advice by taking into account the user's income and expenditure data, age, family composition, etc. The input data is the user's question and related financial data, and the output data is the generated answer.
[1789] Step 7:
[1790] The generated answer is notified to the user via the server. For example, specific advice such as "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawals" is sent to the user. The input data is the answer generated in step 6, and the output data is the advice notified to the user.
[1791] As described above, through the specific operations performed at each processing step, the system is able to grasp the user's financial situation in real time and provide appropriate feedback and advice.
[1792] 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.
[1793] This invention relates to a system that collects and analyzes a user's financial data and provides feedback and advice based on the results. By combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to respond according to the user's emotions. This allows users to manage their own financial situation with peace of mind and receive appropriate advice.
[1794] System configuration
[1795] The system includes the following main components:
[1796] 1. Server
[1797] 2. Terminal
[1798] 3. Users
[1799] 4. Emotion Engine
[1800] Program processing flow
[1801] 1. Data Collection
[1802] The server first collects the user's financial data, which includes retrieving data from the user's electronic payment system. When the user logs into the application, the server automatically collects the data via an API.
[1803] 2. Data Analysis
[1804] Once the data is collected, the on-device AI analyzes it to identify income and expenditure trends, compare them with historical data, and assess the user's financial situation, based on the user's age, family structure, and set goals.
[1805] 3. Feedback Generation
[1806] Based on the analysis results, the device generates appropriate feedback and advice for the user, including advice on how to manage expenses and save money. For example, positive feedback such as "Your expenses this month are within budget, so your savings are increasing" is provided.
[1807] 4. Notifications and Chat Features
[1808] The generated feedback and advice is sent to the user via the server, allowing the user to check their financial situation in real time. Users can also send specific questions using the two-way chat function. The server analyzes these questions and passes them to the AI to generate appropriate answers. Users can receive answers instantly.
[1809] 5. Incorporating an Emotional Engine
[1810] Additionally, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions. This engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to understand their current emotional state. As a result, the feedback and advice can be tailored to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the engine will generate a particularly reassuring and positive message.

[2031] (Application example 2)
[2032] 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."
[2033] While conventional financial management systems can collect and analyze income and expenditure data, they lack the functionality to provide feedback and advice tailored to the user's emotional state. As a result, users often find it difficult to receive appropriate support even when they feel anxious about their financial situation, resulting in poor financial management. The present invention aims to solve this problem and enable users to manage their finances with peace of mind.
[2034] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting financial data from the user, means for analyzing the collected financial data and analyzing income and expenditure trends, and means for generating feedback and advice based on the analysis results. This makes it possible to analyze the user's financial situation in real time and provide appropriate feedback and advice. Furthermore, by analyzing the user's emotions using an emotion engine and adjusting the content of the feedback and advice according to the emotions, it is possible to provide the user with a sense of security and more effectively support financial management.
[2035] "User" refers to an entity that uses the system to manage financial data and receive feedback.
[2036] "Financial Data" is a general term for information regarding a user's income, expenses, savings, investments, etc.
[2037] "Means of collection" refers to the mechanism for electronically obtaining a user's financial data, and may use methods such as API connections.
[2038] "Analytical means" refers to the algorithms and processes used to analyze collected financial data and analyze trends in income and expenditures.
[2039] The "means for generating feedback and advice" is a means having a function for automatically generating appropriate suggestions and advice for the user based on the analysis results.
[2040] "Means for notification" refers to a mechanism for electronically notifying the user of generated feedback or advice, including push notifications and emails.
[2041] A "means for providing two-way chat functionality" is something that provides an interface for users to interact with the system, submit questions, and receive answers in real time.
[2042] "Means for generating answers in real time" refers to an algorithm that responds immediately to questions from users and generates appropriate answers.
[2043] "Emotion analysis means" refers to technology for detecting and analyzing a user's emotions, and uses methods such as text analysis and tone of voice analysis.
[2044] The "means for adjusting the content of feedback and advice" has a function of changing the expression and content of feedback and advice based on the emotion analysis results to match the emotional state of the user.
[2045] The present invention provides a system that collects and analyzes a user's financial data, provides appropriate feedback and advice, and uses an emotion engine to respond according to the user's emotions. This system includes a server, a terminal, and a user interface. A specific embodiment of the system is described below.
[2046] System configuration
[2047] Hardware and Software
[2048] Hardware: Smartphone
[2049] software:
[2050] API: The API used to collect financial data (e.g., Financial Data API)
[2051] Emotion Engine: EmotionEngine module (used to analyze user emotions)
[2052] Data Analysis Module: AIAdvisor module (used to analyze financial data and generate advice)
[2053] System Operation
[2054] 1. Data Collection
[2055] The server collects financial data with the user's permission through the user's smartphone application, using an API to obtain data such as the user's income, expenses, and savings.
[2056] 2. Data Analysis
[2057] The server passes the collected data to a data analysis module (AIAdvisor), which analyzes past income and expenditure patterns to assess the user's financial situation. Based on this assessment, it generates specific advice and feedback.
[2058] 3. Generating feedback and advice
[2059] The generated feedback and advice is sent to the user via push notifications, emails, etc. For example, a message such as "Your spending this month is within budget. Keep it up."
[2060] 4. Two-way chat function
[2061] Users can use a smartphone application to send questions to the system. The server receives these questions in real time and passes them to a data analysis module to generate answers. For example, if a user asks, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing savings?", the system generates the answer, "I recommend setting a monthly savings amount and using automatic withdrawals."
[2062] 5. Application of Emotion Engine
[2063] The Emotion Engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to understand their current emotional state. Based on this, it adjusts the feedback and advice it provides. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, it generates a positive message that is particularly reassuring. Specifically, it provides a message like, "Your efforts are paying off. If you keep at it, you'll get even better results."
[2064] Specific examples
[2065] Example 1:
[2066] User: "I'm worried about my recent expenses."
[2067] Application: "Your expenses seem to be increasing, but other expenses are being cut. Let's start by reviewing your spending on essentials and see how much you have left over."
[2068] Example 2:
[2069] User: "I'm having trouble saving money."
[2070] Application: "I recommend setting a fixed monthly savings amount and automatically allocating it. This will help you avoid overspending."
[2071] Prompt Sentence Examples
[2072] Prompt: "Parse the emotional financial comments entered by the user in the following format and generate appropriate feedback: [User Input]: {User Input Data} [Feedback]: {Feedback}"
[2073] This system allows users to understand their financial situation in real time and manage it with peace of mind. In addition, the introduction of an emotion engine enables flexible responses based on the user's emotions, making the system even more user-friendly.
[2074] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[2075] Step 1:
[2076] A user logs in to a smartphone application. When the user logs in to the application, the server authenticates the user and, after authentication is complete, begins collecting financial data with the user's permission. The input is the user's login information and authentication token, and the output is the authenticated user's financial data. The financial data is obtained via an API and includes information such as income, expenses, and savings.
[2077] Step 2:
[2078] The server sends the collected financial data to a data analysis module (AIAdvisor). The input data is the collected financial data, and the output is the analysis results. AIAdvisor analyzes past income and expenditure patterns to assess the user's current financial situation. In doing so, it identifies income and expenditure trends and detects abnormal income and expenses.
[2079] Step 3:
[2080] The server uses the analysis results obtained from AIAdvisor to generate feedback and advice. The input is the analysis results, and the output is feedback and advice messages. For example, the server generates a message such as, "This month's expenses are within budget. Let's keep it up."
[2081] Step 4:
[2082] The server notifies the user of the generated feedback and advice via a smartphone application. The input data are the generated feedback and advice messages, and the output is a notification displayed on the user side, allowing the user to check their financial situation in real time.
[2083] Step 5:
[2084] A user uses the two-way chat feature to submit a specific question. The input data is the question from the user, and the output is a confirmation of receipt by the server. For example, a user might ask, "Do you have any specific advice for increasing my savings?"
[2085] Step 6:
[2086] The server passes the received question to the data analysis module, which generates an answer in real time. The input data is the question from the user, and the output is the answer from the analysis module. For example, the generated advice might be, "We recommend that you set a monthly savings amount and use automatic withdrawal."
[2087] Step 7:
[2088] The server notifies the user of the generated answer via a smartphone application. The input data is the generated answer, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's side. The user can get the answer immediately.
[2089] Step 8:
[2090] The Emotion Engine analyzes the user's input and behavior to detect their emotional state. The input data is the user's text input or behavioral data, and the output is a label for the emotional state (e.g., anxious, relieved). If the user is feeling anxious, the Emotion Engine will detect that state.
[2091] Step 9:
[2092] The server adjusts the content of the feedback and advice based on the detected emotional state. The input data is the output of the emotion engine and the generated feedback and advice, and the output is the adjusted feedback and advice. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, a reassuring message such as "Your efforts are paying off. If you keep going, you will get even better results" is generated.
[2093] Step 10:
[2094] The server then sends the user feedback and advice after the adjustment via a smartphone application. The input data is the feedback and advice after the adjustment, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's side. This allows the user to receive positive feedback and continue managing their finances with peace of mind.
[2095] 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.
[2096] 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.
[2097] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[2098] 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.
[2099] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating 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 actions 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.
[2100] 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.
[2101] 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).
[2102] 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.
[2103] 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."
[2104] 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.
[2105] 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).
[2106] 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.
[2107] 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.
[2108] 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.
[2109] 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.
[2110] 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. Another example of a processor is a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[2111] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific processing may be a single processor.
[2112] 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.
[2113] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
