[0038] Next, a description will be given of the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. 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."

[0039] The present invention aims to enable a user wearing a visual device to acquire and display information about surrounding facilities in real time. The specific processing content of the program and specific examples are described below.

[0040] First, the user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time. This image is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0041] The device then begins preprocessing the video data, which includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, to improve the clarity of the image and subsequent analysis.

[0042] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo.

[0043] Once the device identifies the facility information, it sends a request to the server based on that information. The request includes identification information such as the facility name and category.

[0044] The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then sends this information back to the terminal as a response.

[0045] The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that can be understood by the user through the visual device. Specifically, detailed facility information is overlaid on the visual device's display, allowing the user to grasp detailed facility information in real time on-site.

[0046] Specific examples are given below.

[0047] Imagine a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view. At this time, the camera in the vision device captures video of the cafe. The device preprocesses the video and inputs it into the AI ​​model. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Café Delight." The device sends the identified information to the server, which retrieves "Café Delight's" business hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and special offers (10% off coupon available) from its database and sends them back to the device. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display.

[0048] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows a user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0049] The above is a specific description of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0050] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0051] Step 1:

[0052] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of the user's field of view in real time. The image data is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0053] Step 2:

[0054] The device begins pre-processing the captured video data, performing processes such as noise removal and resolution adjustment to make it easier for AI to analyze. This makes the video clearer and highlights the facility's unique features.

[0055] Step 3:

[0056] After preprocessing, the device inputs the video data into an artificial intelligence model. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and identifies the facility based on features such as the facility's exterior, sign, and logo contained in the video. For example, if a sign reads "Café Delight," it will perform character recognition.

[0057] Step 4:

[0058] The terminal sends a request to the server based on the identified facility information. The request includes information such as the name and category of the identified facility.

[0059] Step 5:

[0060] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from the database, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The retrieved information is then sent back to the terminal as a response.

[0061] Step 6:

[0062] The device analyzes the detailed facility information received from the server and displays it on the visual device's display. Specifically, the facility's name, opening hours, ratings, and special offer information are overlaid in the user's field of vision.

[0063] Step 7:

[0064] The user can check the detailed information of the facility displayed on the visual device and take the necessary action. For example, when information about the cafe "Café Delight" is displayed, the user can check the opening hours and special offers and decide whether to visit.

[0065] The above is a detailed description of the specific processing steps of the program and the operations at each step.

[0066] Example 1

[0067] 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 device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0068] Conventional technologies lack a means for users to quickly and easily obtain detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time. This requires users to perform manual searches, which is not only inconvenient but also inefficient. Furthermore, conventional approaches are difficult to implement in situations where instantaneous on-site information is required. To address these issues, the present invention aims to provide a system that allows users to obtain facility information in real time using a visual device and instantly display detailed information.

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

[0070] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring images of the user's field of view using a camera attached to a visual device worn by the user, means for preprocessing the acquired image data, means for performing image analysis using an artificial intelligence model for identifying facilities based on the preprocessed image data, means for requesting facility information acquired based on the image analysis from the server, and means for overlaying the detailed facility information returned from the server on the display of the visual device, thereby enabling the user to quickly acquire detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device and efficiently utilize it.

[0071] A "user" is a person who utilizes the system of the present invention by wearing a visual device.

[0072] A "visual device" is a device worn by a user that includes a display and camera that displays to the field of view.

[0073] A "camera" is a photographing device attached to a visual device for capturing images within the user's field of vision.

[0074] "Video data" refers to digital data of images and videos captured by a camera.

[0075] "Preprocessing" refers to the step of performing processes such as noise removal and resolution adjustment on the video data.

[0076] An "artificial intelligence model" is an AI algorithm that uses pattern recognition technology to identify facilities contained within video footage.

[0077] "Image analysis" is the process of using artificial intelligence models to identify facility information from video data.

[0078] "Facility information" refers to data such as the name, category, and detailed information of the identified facility.

[0079] A "server" is a computer system that searches a database based on a request, obtains detailed facility information, and returns a response.

[0080] A "database" is an information aggregation system owned by a server that stores detailed facility information.

[0081] "Overlay display" refers to a function that displays information superimposed on the image displayed on the display of a visual device.

[0082] The present invention is a system that acquires information about surrounding facilities in real time while the user is wearing a visual device, and displays the details on the visual device. The processing contents of the program will be specifically described below.

[0083] First, the user wears a visual device. The device is equipped with a camera that captures images of the user's field of vision in real time. This image data is temporarily stored in the device.

[0084] Next, the device begins preprocessing the video data. This includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment. This makes the video clearer and improves the accuracy of subsequent analysis. This preprocessing typically uses an image processing library such as OpenCV.

[0085] Once preprocessed, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo. Frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch are used for the AI ​​model.

[0086] Once the device identifies the facility information, it sends a request to the server based on that information. The request includes identifying information such as the facility's name and category. The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility. This detailed information includes opening hours, ratings, special offers, and more. The server uses cloud services such as AWS and Google Cloud, and databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.

[0087] The acquired detailed facility information is sent back to the terminal as a response from the server. The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through the visual device. Specifically, the detailed facility information is overlaid on the display of the visual device. This allows the user to grasp detailed facility information in real time on-site.

[0088] Here's a specific example: When a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view, the camera in the vision device captures video of the cafe. The device preprocesses the video and inputs it into an AI model. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Cafe Delight." The device sends the identified information to a server, which retrieves Cafe Delight's opening hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and special offers (10% off coupon available) from a database and sends them back to the device. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display.

[0089] An example prompt is, "A user wears a visual device, and a camera captures video of the surroundings in real time. The video is preprocessed, and an AI model identifies the facility. Based on this facility information, a server provides detailed information, which is displayed on the visual device. As a specific example, please explain how detailed information about the cafe "Cafe Delight" is obtained and displayed to the user."

[0090] The above is a specific description of the embodiment of the present invention. With this system, a user can obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0091] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0092] Step 1:

[0093] The user wears a visual device, and a camera attached to the device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time.

[0094] Input: The image that the user sees.

[0095] Specific operation: The user wears the visual device on their head, and the camera continuously captures objects within their field of view.

[0096] Output: Captured video data.

[0097] Step 2:

[0098] The device pre-processes the captured video data, removing noise and adjusting the resolution to make the video clearer.

[0099] Input: The captured video data that is the output of step 1.

[0100] Data processing: Use an image processing library such as OpenCV to remove noise from the video data and improve its resolution.

[0101] Specific operation: The device filters the video data to reduce noise and adjust the image resolution appropriately.

[0102] Output: Pre-processed video data.

[0103] Step 3:

[0104] The device performs image analysis using artificial intelligence models to identify facilities based on pre-processed video data.

[0105] Input: The preprocessed video data that is the output of step 2.

[0106] Data Computing: Using AI frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, facilities are identified from video data.

[0107] Specific operation: Preprocessed video is input into the AI ​​model, and the facility's exterior, signs, logos, etc. are analyzed using a pattern recognition algorithm.

[0108] Output: Data with facility names and categories identified.

[0109] Step 4:

[0110] The device sends a request to the server based on the facility information it has identified, including identification information such as the facility name and category.

[0111] Input: Identified facility information, which is the output of Step 3.

[0112] Data processing: The facility identification information is converted into a data format for sending to the server as an HTTP request.

[0113] Specific operation: The terminal generates a request message containing facility information such as "Cafe Delight" and sends it to the server.

[0114] Output: The request data sent.

[0115] Step 5:

[0116] The server searches the database based on the received request and obtains detailed information about the facility.

[0117] Input: The request data sent in step 4.

[0118] Data Computation: Querying database systems such as MySQL or PostgreSQL to retrieve the requested facility details.

[0119] What happens: The server queries the database to get information about Cafe Delight, such as its hours of operation, ratings, and special offers.

[0120] Output: Detailed information about the retrieved facilities.

[0121] Step 6:

[0122] The terminal receives the detailed facility information returned from the server and displays it as an overlay on the display of the visual device.

[0123] Input: The retrieved facility details, which is the output of step 5.

[0124] Data processing: Preparing information in a format suitable for display on visual devices.

[0125] Specific operation: Detailed facility information (e.g., business hours 8:00-20:00, rating 4.5 / 5, 10% off coupon available) is sent to the user's visual device and overlaid on the screen.

[0126] Output: Facility details displayed on a visual aid.

[0127] The above are the specific processing steps of the program of this system, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0128] (Application example 1)

[0129] 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."

[0130] In modern society, users need to quickly and easily obtain information about nearby facilities while on the move. However, conventional methods require searching on a smartphone to obtain facility information, which is time-consuming and lacks real-time information. Furthermore, integrating information from different sources increases the burden on users, making it difficult to obtain information efficiently. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient system that allows users to instantly obtain detailed facility information on the spot using a visual device.

[0131] 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.

[0132] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring video within the user's field of view using a camera attached to a visual device worn by the user, means for preprocessing the acquired video data, means for performing image analysis using a generative AI model for identifying facilities based on the preprocessed video data, means for requesting facility information acquired based on the image analysis from the server via a communication device, and means for overlaying and displaying detailed facility information returned from the server on the display device of the visual device, thereby enabling the user to acquire information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check the detailed information.

[0133] A "visual device" is a device that can display visual information on a display when worn by a user.

[0134] A "camera" is a device that is attached to a visual device and has the function of capturing images that come into the user's field of vision.

[0135] "Preprocessing" refers to processing such as removing noise from acquired video data and adjusting resolution to improve the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[0136] "Generative AI model" means an artificial intelligence model used to analyze video data and identify the category and specific name of a facility.

[0137] A "communication device" is a device for transmitting identified facility information to a server and receiving a response from the server.

[0138] The "display device" is a display that is mounted on the visual device and has the function of overlaying detailed facility information to the user.

[0139] A "prompt sentence" is an instruction sentence used by the generative AI model to identify a facility.

[0140] The present invention provides a system that acquires and displays surrounding facility information in real time using a visual device worn by a user. This system is composed of an image capture device, a preprocessing module, a generative AI model, a communication device, and a display device mounted on the visual device.

[0141] The vision device is equipped with a camera for capturing images in real time. The camera captures the image of the user's field of view and sends it to a pre-processing module, where processing such as noise reduction and resolution adjustment of the image data is performed. This pre-processing improves the accuracy of subsequent image analysis.

[0142] The preprocessed video data is then input into a generative AI model, which uses pattern recognition technology to identify facilities within the video. Specifically, the model analyzes the facility's exterior, signage, logo, and other features to identify the facility's category and specific name. A prompt is then generated to assist the AI ​​model in the identification process.

[0143] The communication device is responsible for transmitting the identified facility information to the server. The server receives this information and searches a database to obtain detailed information about the facility, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then sends these details back to the visual device via the communication device.

[0144] Finally, the display device displays the information returned from the server to the user. Specifically, detailed facility information is overlaid on the display of the visual device, allowing the user to check detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device.

[0145] As a specific example, consider the flow from when a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view, to when a camera captures video of the cafe. The preprocessing module preprocesses this video and inputs it into the generative AI model. The generative AI model identifies the cafe, and the communication device sends this information to the server. The server receives the returned detailed information about the cafe (opening hours, ratings, special offers), which it then overlays on the display of the visual device.

[0146] The following are examples of prompt statements:

[0147] User looks at "Cafe" and gets real-time information overlay showing operation hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and a special coupon (10% off).

[0148] The above is a specific description of the embodiment of the present invention, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0149] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0150] Step 1:

[0151] When a user walks around town, the camera of the vision device captures the image that comes into the user's field of view in real time. The input is the user's field of view, and the output is the captured image data.

[0152] Step 2:

[0153] The captured video data is processed by the pre-processing module. Specifically, noise removal and resolution adjustment are performed. The input is the captured video data, and the output is pre-processed video data that has been subjected to noise removal and resolution adjustment.

[0154] Step 3:

[0155] The preprocessed video data is input into the generative AI model to identify the facility. Specifically, the model analyzes the facility's exterior, signage, logo, and other features, and identifies the facility's category and specific name using prompt text. The input is the preprocessed video data, and the output is the facility's identification information (facility name, category).

[0156] Step 4:

[0157] The identified facility information is sent to the server by the communication device. Specifically, the facility name and category information are constructed as an HTTP request and sent to the server. The input at this time is the facility identification information, and the output is a request to the server.

[0158] Step 5:

[0159] The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility (such as opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc.) The input is the request to the server, and the output is the detailed information about the facility.

[0160] Step 6:

[0161] The server returns the acquired facility details to the visual device via the communication device. Specifically, the facility details are constructed as an HTTP response and sent to the visual device. The input at this time is the facility details, and the output is the response from the server.

[0162] Step 7:

[0163] The display device of the visual device overlays the detailed facility information received from the server. Specifically, the detailed facility information is displayed on the display in an appropriate position according to the user's field of view. The input at this time is the response from the server, and the output is the detailed facility information overlaid on the user's field of view.

[0164] The above is a description of the specific processing steps in the system for implementing the present invention, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0165] 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.

[0166] The present invention is a system that allows a user to wear a visual device and acquire and display information about surrounding facilities in real time, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. The specific processing content of the program and concrete examples are explained below.

[0167] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time. This image is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0168] The device then begins preprocessing the video data, which includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, to improve the clarity of the image and subsequent analysis.

[0169] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo.

[0170] The visual device is equipped with an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state by analyzing the user's voice, facial expressions, and biometric information (heart rate, skin galvanic response, etc.). For example, it can detect when the user is feeling stressed or curious.

[0171] The device sends a request to the server based on the facility information and emotion information. The request includes the name and category of the identified facility and the user's emotion information.

[0172] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from the database, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then considers the user's emotional information and selects the information that best suits the user's current emotional state and returns it to the terminal.

[0173] The device analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through their visual device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, highly rated menu items and special offers will be highlighted. If the user is feeling stressed, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information will be displayed.

[0174] Specific examples are given below.

[0175] Imagine a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view. The vision device's camera captures the image, and the device pre-processes the image. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Café Delight." The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotion and determines that the emotional state is positive, for example. The device sends the facility information and emotion information to the server, which then returns detailed information about "Café Delight" along with recommended menu items and special offers. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display, allowing the user to obtain the most relevant information in real time.

[0176] In this way, the present invention is a system that allows users to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and provides optimal information based on their emotions, improving the user experience and providing more meaningful information.

[0177] The above is a specific description of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0178] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0179] Step 1:

[0180] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of the user's field of view in real time. This image data is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0181] Step 2:

[0182] The device begins pre-processing the captured video data, which includes noise removal and resolution adjustment, making the video clearer and easier for AI to analyze.

[0183] Step 3:

[0184] After preprocessing, the device inputs the video data into an artificial intelligence model, which then analyzes the images and identifies the facility based on its exterior, signage, logo, and other features contained in the video.

[0185] Step 4:

[0186] To recognize the user's emotions, the emotion engine of the vision device analyzes voice, facial expressions, and biometric information (e.g., heart rate, galvanic skin response). The emotion engine identifies the user's current emotional state.

[0187] Step 5:

[0188] The terminal sends a request to the server based on the facility information and the user's emotion information. The request includes the facility name, category, and emotion information.

[0189] Step 6:

[0190] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility (e.g., opening hours, ratings, special offers) from the database. The server also selects the most appropriate additional information based on the emotional information.

[0191] Step 7:

[0192] The server returns the acquired detailed information and selected additional information to the terminal as a response.

[0193] Step 8:

[0194] The device analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can perceive through their visual device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, highly rated menu items and special offers will be highlighted, and if the user is showing signs of stress, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information will be displayed.

[0195] Step 9:

[0196] The user can check the detailed information of the facility and additional emotional information displayed on the visual device and take the necessary action. For example, when information about the cafe "Café Delight" is displayed, the user can check the opening hours and special offers and decide whether to visit.

[0197] The above is a detailed description of the specific processing steps of the program and the operations at each step.

[0290] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0291] Conventional information provision systems using visual devices only allow users to visually obtain information about surrounding facilities, and have the problem of not being able to provide optimal information based on the user's current emotional state. Specifically, even if a user is feeling stressed, for example, they may not be provided with information about facilities where they can relax or special offers, which could result in a less meaningful shopping experience.

[0292] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0293] In this invention, the server includes means for selecting and returning optimal information taking into consideration the user's emotional information, means for preprocessing video data acquired by a camera attached to the visual device, and means for performing image analysis using an artificial intelligence model that identifies facilities based on the preprocessed video data. This allows the user to obtain recommended information based on their emotional state while obtaining information about surrounding facilities through the visual device in real time.

[0294] A "visual device" is a device equipped with a display and camera worn by the user, and has the function of capturing images within the user's field of vision and displaying the information.

[0295] A "camera" is an image capturing device attached to a visual device that captures images in the user's field of view in real time.

[0304] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0305] The present invention is a system in which a user wears a visual device and acquires and displays information about surrounding facilities in real time, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. A specific embodiment of this system will be described.

[0306] A user wears a visual device such as smart glasses, and a camera attached to the visual device captures images of what the user sees in real time. The video data captured by the camera is temporarily stored in the visual device. The device then begins preprocessing the video data. Preprocessing includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, which improves the clarity of the image and the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[0307] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo.

[0308] Meanwhile, the visual device is equipped with an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state by analyzing the user's voice, facial expressions, and biometric information (heart rate, skin galvanic response, etc.). For example, it can detect when the user is feeling stressed or curious.

[0309] Facility information and emotional information are sent from the device to the server as a request. The request includes the name and category of the identified facility, as well as the user's emotional information. The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from its database. This information includes opening hours, ratings, and special offers. The server then takes the emotional information into consideration and selects the information that best suits the user's current emotional state, which it then sends back to the device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, the facility's highly rated menu items and special offers are highlighted. If the user is feeling stressed, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information are also displayed.

[0310] As a specific example of use, imagine a user is walking through a shopping mall and the camera captures a sign for "Bookstore A." TensorFlow Lite identifies "Bookstore A" and performs sentiment analysis on the audio data. If it determines the sentiment is "positive," it sends "Bookstore A" and "positive" to the server. Information returned from the server, such as "discount information for bestselling books," is displayed on the smart glasses, and the user can see a pop-up that says "20% off bestselling books."

[0311] The following hardware and software are used to realize this system.

[0312] Hardware: Smart glasses (with camera), user device (smartphone, etc.)

[0313] Software: OpenCV (preprocessing), TensorFlow Lite (image analysis), Amazon Comprehend (sentiment analysis)

[0314] An example of a prompt is as follows:

[0315] example:

[0316] As the user walks through a shopping mall, the camera captures a sign for "Bookstore A." "Bookstore A" is identified using TensorFlow Lite. Sentiment analysis is performed on the audio data, and the result is determined to be "positive." "Bookstore A" and "positive" are sent to the server. The server returns "discount information for best-selling books." A pop-up message saying "20% off best-selling books" appears on the smart glasses.

[0317] As described above, the present invention is a system that allows users to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and provides optimal information based on their emotions, thereby improving the user experience and providing more meaningful information.

[0318] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0319] Step 1:

[0320] The user wears a visual device. The camera of this visual device captures the image of the user's field of view in real time. The input is the image of the user's field of view, and the output is raw image data temporarily stored in the visual device. Specifically, the camera constantly follows the user's field of view and continuously captures the image.

[0321] Step 2:

[0322] The device performs preprocessing on the captured video data. This preprocessing includes noise removal and resolution adjustment. The input is the captured raw video data, and the output is clear video data with noise removed and resolution adjusted. Specifically, the OpenCV library is used to filter noise and optimize resolution.

[0323] Step 3:

[0324] The preprocessed video data is input into an artificial intelligence model (generative AI model) installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. The input is the preprocessed video data, and the output is the name and category of the identified facility. Specifically, TensorFlow Lite is used to perform pattern recognition based on the facility's exterior, sign, and logo.

[0325] Step 4:

[0326] The device uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice, facial expression, and biometric information (such as heart rate and galvanic skin response). The input is the user's voice, facial expression, and biometric information, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state. Specifically, it collects and analyzes data from Amazon Comprehend and biometric sensors.

[0327] Step 5:

[0328] The device sends facility information and emotion information as a request to the server. The input is the name and category of the identified facility and the user's emotion information, and the output is the request data sent to the server. Specifically, the data is communicated to the server using a RESTful API.

[0329] Step 6:

[0330] The server analyzes the request data it receives. The server retrieves detailed information about the facility (such as opening hours, ratings, and special offers) from the database and selects the most appropriate recommendation information taking into account emotional information. The input is the request data sent to the server, and the output is detailed information about the facility and the most appropriate information for the user. Specifically, it extracts data from AWS RDS and filters the information as needed.

[0331] Step 7:

[0332] The server returns the selected optimal information to the terminal. The input is detailed information and recommended information about the selected facility, and the output is the response data sent to the terminal. Specifically, the data is sent to the terminal again using the RESTful API.

[0333] Step 8:

[0334] The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through the visual device. The input is detailed facility information and recommended information returned from the server, and the output is the information displayed on the visual device's display. Specifically, the information is displayed visually using the Unity engine, etc.

[0335] Through the above processing steps, the user can obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device, and can obtain optimal information based on their emotions.

[0336] 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.

[0337] 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.

[0338] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific process 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 process may be performed by the smart device 14.

[0344] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user 20 by receiving voice uttered by the user 20. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user 20, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio in accordance with instructions from the processor 46.

[0345] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the surroundings of user 20 (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0346] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 control the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0347] Fig. 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Fig. 4, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0348] The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30.

[0349] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290.

[0350] In the smart glasses 214, the processor 46 performs the reception output process. A reception output program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the reception output program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read reception output program 60 on the RAM 48. The reception output process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the reception output program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[0351] Next, a description will be given of the identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0352] The present invention aims to enable a user wearing a visual device to acquire and display information about surrounding facilities in real time. The specific processing content of the program and specific examples are described below.

[0353] First, the user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time. This image is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0354] The device then begins preprocessing the video data, which includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, to improve the clarity of the image and subsequent analysis.

[0355] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo.

[0356] Once the device identifies the facility information, it sends a request to the server based on that information. The request includes identification information such as the facility name and category.

[0357] The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then sends this information back to the terminal as a response.

[0358] The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that can be understood by the user through the visual device. Specifically, detailed facility information is overlaid on the visual device's display, allowing the user to grasp detailed facility information in real time on-site.

[0359] Specific examples are given below.

[0360] Imagine a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view. At this time, the camera in the vision device captures video of the cafe. The device preprocesses the video and inputs it into the AI ​​model. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Café Delight." The device sends the identified information to the server, which retrieves "Café Delight's" business hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and special offers (10% off coupon available) from its database and sends them back to the device. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display.

[0361] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows a user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0362] The above is a specific description of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0363] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0364] Step 1:

[0365] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of the user's field of view in real time. The image data is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0366] Step 2:

[0367] The device begins pre-processing the captured video data, performing processes such as noise removal and resolution adjustment to make it easier for AI to analyze. This makes the video clearer and highlights the facility's unique features.

[0368] Step 3:

[0369] After preprocessing, the device inputs the video data into an artificial intelligence model. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and identifies the facility based on features such as the facility's exterior, sign, and logo contained in the video. For example, if a sign reads "Café Delight," it will perform character recognition.

[0370] Step 4:

[0371] The terminal sends a request to the server based on the identified facility information. The request includes information such as the name and category of the identified facility.

[0372] Step 5:

[0373] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from the database, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The retrieved information is then sent back to the terminal as a response.

[0374] Step 6:

[0375] The device analyzes the detailed facility information received from the server and displays it on the visual device's display. Specifically, the facility's name, opening hours, ratings, and special offer information are overlaid in the user's field of vision.

[0376] Step 7:

[0377] The user can check the detailed information of the facility displayed on the visual device and take the necessary action. For example, when information about the cafe "Café Delight" is displayed, the user can check the opening hours and special offers and decide whether to visit.

[0378] The above is a detailed description of the specific processing steps of the program and the operations at each step.

[0379] Example 1

[0380] 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."

[0381] Conventional technologies lack a means for users to quickly and easily obtain detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time. This requires users to perform manual searches, which is not only inconvenient but also inefficient. Furthermore, conventional approaches are difficult to implement in situations where instantaneous on-site information is required. To address these issues, the present invention aims to provide a system that allows users to obtain facility information in real time using a visual device and instantly display detailed information.

[0382] 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.

[0383] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring images of the user's field of view using a camera attached to a visual device worn by the user, means for preprocessing the acquired image data, means for performing image analysis using an artificial intelligence model for identifying facilities based on the preprocessed image data, means for requesting facility information acquired based on the image analysis from the server, and means for overlaying the detailed facility information returned from the server on the display of the visual device, thereby enabling the user to quickly acquire detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device and efficiently utilize it.

[0384] A "user" is a person who utilizes the system of the present invention by wearing a visual device.

[0385] A "visual device" is a device worn by a user that includes a display and camera that displays to the field of view.

[0386] A "camera" is a photographing device attached to a visual device for capturing images within the user's field of vision.

[0387] "Video data" refers to digital data of images and videos captured by a camera.

[0388] "Preprocessing" refers to the step of performing processes such as noise removal and resolution adjustment on the video data.

[0389] An "artificial intelligence model" is an AI algorithm that uses pattern recognition technology to identify facilities contained within video footage.

[0390] "Image analysis" is the process of using artificial intelligence models to identify facility information from video data.

[0391] "Facility information" refers to data such as the name, category, and detailed information of the identified facility.

[0392] A "server" is a computer system that searches a database based on a request, obtains detailed facility information, and returns a response.

[0393] A "database" is an information aggregation system owned by a server that stores detailed facility information.

[0394] "Overlay display" refers to a function that displays information superimposed on the image displayed on the display of a visual device.

[0395] The present invention is a system that acquires information about surrounding facilities in real time while the user is wearing a visual device, and displays the details on the visual device. The processing contents of the program will be specifically described below.

[0396] First, the user wears a visual device. The device is equipped with a camera that captures images of the user's field of vision in real time. This image data is temporarily stored in the device.

[0397] Next, the device begins preprocessing the video data. This includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment. This makes the video clearer and improves the accuracy of subsequent analysis. This preprocessing typically uses an image processing library such as OpenCV.

[0398] Once preprocessed, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo. Frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch are used for the AI ​​model.

[0399] Once the device identifies the facility information, it sends a request to the server based on that information. The request includes identifying information such as the facility's name and category. The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility. This detailed information includes opening hours, ratings, special offers, and more. The server uses cloud services such as AWS and Google Cloud, and databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.

[0400] The acquired detailed facility information is sent back to the terminal as a response from the server. The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through the visual device. Specifically, the detailed facility information is overlaid on the display of the visual device. This allows the user to grasp detailed facility information in real time on-site.

[0401] Here's a specific example: When a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view, the camera in the vision device captures video of the cafe. The device preprocesses the video and inputs it into an AI model. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Cafe Delight." The device sends the identified information to a server, which retrieves Cafe Delight's opening hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and special offers (10% off coupon available) from a database and sends them back to the device. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display.

[0402] An example prompt is, "A user wears a visual device, and a camera captures video of the surroundings in real time. The video is preprocessed, and an AI model identifies the facility. Based on this facility information, a server provides detailed information, which is displayed on the visual device. As a specific example, please explain how detailed information about the cafe "Cafe Delight" is obtained and displayed to the user."

[0403] The above is a specific description of the embodiment of the present invention. With this system, a user can obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0404] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0405] Step 1:

[0406] The user wears a visual device, and a camera attached to the device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time.

[0407] Input: The image that the user sees.

[0408] Specific operation: The user wears the visual device on their head, and the camera continuously captures objects within their field of view.

[0409] Output: Captured video data.

[0410] Step 2:

[0411] The device pre-processes the captured video data, removing noise and adjusting the resolution to make the video clearer.

[0412] Input: The captured video data that is the output of step 1.

[0413] Data processing: Use an image processing library such as OpenCV to remove noise from the video data and improve its resolution.

[0414] Specific operation: The device filters the video data to reduce noise and adjust the image resolution appropriately.

[0415] Output: Pre-processed video data.

[0416] Step 3:

[0417] The device performs image analysis using artificial intelligence models to identify facilities based on pre-processed video data.

[0418] Input: The preprocessed video data that is the output of step 2.

[0419] Data Computing: Using AI frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, facilities are identified from video data.

[0420] Specific operation: Preprocessed video is input into the AI ​​model, and the facility's exterior, signs, logos, etc. are analyzed using a pattern recognition algorithm.

[0421] Output: Data with facility names and categories identified.

[0422] Step 4:

[0423] The device sends a request to the server based on the facility information it has identified, including identification information such as the facility name and category.

[0424] Input: Identified facility information, which is the output of Step 3.

[0425] Data processing: The facility identification information is converted into a data format for sending to the server as an HTTP request.

[0426] Specific operation: The terminal generates a request message containing facility information such as "Cafe Delight" and sends it to the server.

[0427] Output: The request data sent.

[0428] Step 5:

[0429] The server searches the database based on the received request and obtains detailed information about the facility.

[0430] Input: The request data sent in step 4.

[0431] Data Computation: Querying database systems such as MySQL or PostgreSQL to retrieve the requested facility details.

[0432] What happens: The server queries the database to get information about Cafe Delight, such as its hours of operation, ratings, and special offers.

[0433] Output: Detailed information about the retrieved facilities.

[0434] Step 6:

[0435] The terminal receives the detailed facility information returned from the server and displays it as an overlay on the display of the visual device.

[0436] Input: The retrieved facility details, which is the output of step 5.

[0437] Data processing: Preparing information in a format suitable for display on visual devices.

[0438] Specific operation: Detailed facility information (e.g., business hours 8:00-20:00, rating 4.5 / 5, 10% off coupon available) is sent to the user's visual device and overlaid on the screen.

[0439] Output: Facility details displayed on a visual aid.

[0440] The above are the specific processing steps of the program of this system, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0441] (Application example 1)

[0442] 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."

[0443] In modern society, users need to quickly and easily obtain information about nearby facilities while on the move. However, conventional methods require searching on a smartphone to obtain facility information, which is time-consuming and lacks real-time information. Furthermore, integrating information from different sources increases the burden on users, making it difficult to obtain information efficiently. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient system that allows users to instantly obtain detailed facility information on the spot using a visual device.

[0444] 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.

[0445] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring video within the user's field of view using a camera attached to a visual device worn by the user, means for preprocessing the acquired video data, means for performing image analysis using a generative AI model for identifying facilities based on the preprocessed video data, means for requesting facility information acquired based on the image analysis from the server via a communication device, and means for overlaying and displaying detailed facility information returned from the server on the display device of the visual device, thereby enabling the user to acquire information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check the detailed information.

[0446] A "visual device" is a device that can display visual information on a display when worn by a user.

[0447] A "camera" is a device that is attached to a visual device and has the function of capturing images that come into the user's field of vision.

[0448] "Preprocessing" refers to processing such as removing noise from acquired video data and adjusting resolution to improve the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[0449] "Generative AI model" means an artificial intelligence model used to analyze video data and identify the category and specific name of a facility.

[0450] A "communication device" is a device for transmitting identified facility information to a server and receiving a response from the server.

[0451] The "display device" is a display that is mounted on the visual device and has the function of overlaying detailed facility information to the user.

[0452] A "prompt sentence" is an instruction sentence used by the generative AI model to identify a facility.

[0453] The present invention provides a system that acquires and displays surrounding facility information in real time using a visual device worn by a user. This system is composed of an image capture device, a preprocessing module, a generative AI model, a communication device, and a display device mounted on the visual device.

[0454] The vision device is equipped with a camera for capturing images in real time. The camera captures the image of the user's field of view and sends it to a pre-processing module, where processing such as noise reduction and resolution adjustment of the image data is performed. This pre-processing improves the accuracy of subsequent image analysis.

[0455] The preprocessed video data is then input into a generative AI model, which uses pattern recognition technology to identify facilities within the video. Specifically, the model analyzes the facility's exterior, signage, logo, and other features to identify the facility's category and specific name. A prompt is then generated to assist the AI ​​model in the identification process.

[0456] The communication device is responsible for transmitting the identified facility information to the server. The server receives this information and searches a database to obtain detailed information about the facility, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then sends these details back to the visual device via the communication device.

[0457] Finally, the display device displays the information returned from the server to the user. Specifically, detailed facility information is overlaid on the display of the visual device, allowing the user to check detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device.

[0458] As a specific example, consider the flow from when a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view, to when a camera captures video of the cafe. The preprocessing module preprocesses this video and inputs it into the generative AI model. The generative AI model identifies the cafe, and the communication device sends this information to the server. The server receives the returned detailed information about the cafe (opening hours, ratings, special offers), which it then overlays on the display of the visual device.

[0459] The following are examples of prompt statements:

[0460] User looks at "Cafe" and gets real-time information overlay showing operation hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and a special coupon (10% off).

[0461] The above is a specific description of the embodiment of the present invention, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0462] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0463] Step 1:

[0464] When a user walks around town, the camera of the vision device captures the image that comes into the user's field of view in real time. The input is the user's field of view, and the output is the captured image data.

[0465] Step 2:

[0466] The captured video data is processed by the pre-processing module. Specifically, noise removal and resolution adjustment are performed. The input is the captured video data, and the output is pre-processed video data that has been subjected to noise removal and resolution adjustment.

[0467] Step 3:

[0468] The preprocessed video data is input into the generative AI model to identify the facility. Specifically, the model analyzes the facility's exterior, signage, logo, and other features, and identifies the facility's category and specific name using prompt text. The input is the preprocessed video data, and the output is the facility's identification information (facility name, category).

[0469] Step 4:

[0470] The identified facility information is sent to the server by the communication device. Specifically, the facility name and category information are constructed as an HTTP request and sent to the server. The input at this time is the facility identification information, and the output is a request to the server.

[0471] Step 5:

[0472] The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility (such as opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc.) The input is the request to the server, and the output is the detailed information about the facility.

[0473] Step 6:

[0474] The server returns the acquired facility details to the visual device via the communication device. Specifically, the facility details are constructed as an HTTP response and sent to the visual device. The input at this time is the facility details, and the output is the response from the server.

[0475] Step 7:

[0476] The display device of the visual device overlays the detailed facility information received from the server. Specifically, the detailed facility information is displayed on the display in an appropriate position according to the user's field of view. The input at this time is the response from the server, and the output is the detailed facility information overlaid on the user's field of view.

[0477] The above is a description of the specific processing steps in the system for implementing the present invention, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0478] 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.

[0479] The present invention is a system that allows a user to wear a visual device and acquire and display information about surrounding facilities in real time, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. The specific processing content of the program and concrete examples are explained below.

[0480] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time. This image is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0481] The device then begins preprocessing the video data, which includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, to improve the clarity of the image and subsequent analysis.

[0482] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo.

[0483] The visual device is equipped with an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state by analyzing the user's voice, facial expressions, and biometric information (heart rate, skin galvanic response, etc.). For example, it can detect when the user is feeling stressed or curious.

[0484] The device sends a request to the server based on the facility information and emotion information. The request includes the name and category of the identified facility and the user's emotion information.

[0485] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from the database, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then considers the user's emotional information and selects the information that best suits the user's current emotional state and returns it to the terminal.

[0486] The device analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through their visual device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, highly rated menu items and special offers will be highlighted. If the user is feeling stressed, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information will be displayed.

[0487] Specific examples are given below.

[0488] Imagine a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view. The vision device's camera captures the image, and the device pre-processes the image. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Café Delight." The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotion and determines that the emotional state is positive, for example. The device sends the facility information and emotion information to the server, which then returns detailed information about "Café Delight" along with recommended menu items and special offers. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display, allowing the user to obtain the most relevant information in real time.

[0489] In this way, the present invention is a system that allows users to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and provides optimal information based on their emotions, improving the user experience and providing more meaningful information.

[0490] The above is a specific description of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0491] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0492] Step 1:

[0493] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of the user's field of view in real time. This image data is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0494] Step 2:

[0495] The device begins pre-processing the captured video data, which includes noise removal and resolution adjustment, making the video clearer and easier for AI to analyze.

[0496] Step 3:

[0497] After preprocessing, the device inputs the video data into an artificial intelligence model, which then analyzes the images and identifies the facility based on its exterior, signage, logo, and other features contained in the video.

[0498] Step 4:

[0499] To recognize the user's emotions, the emotion engine of the vision device analyzes voice, facial expressions, and biometric information (e.g., heart rate, galvanic skin response). The emotion engine identifies the user's current emotional state.

[0500] Step 5:

[0501] The terminal sends a request to the server based on the facility information and the user's emotion information. The request includes the facility name, category, and emotion information.

[0502] Step 6:

[0503] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility (e.g., opening hours, ratings, special offers) from the database. The server also selects the most appropriate additional information based on the emotional information.

[0504] Step 7:

[0505] The server returns the acquired detailed information and selected additional information to the terminal as a response.

[0506] Step 8:

[0507] The device analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can perceive through their visual device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, highly rated menu items and special offers will be highlighted, and if the user is showing signs of stress, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information will be displayed.

[0508] Step 9:

[0509] The user can check the detailed information of the facility and additional emotional information displayed on the visual device and take the necessary action. For example, when information about the cafe "Café Delight" is displayed, the user can check the opening hours and special offers and decide whether to visit.

[0510] The above is a detailed description of the specific processing steps of the program and the operations at each step.

[0511] Example 2

[0513] Conventional information acquisition systems using visual devices have difficulty providing optimal information according to the user's emotional state and environment. Furthermore, the acquired information is merely mechanical, which is insufficient for improving the user experience. Specifically, there is a lack of information presentation tailored to the user's stressful state or positive feelings toward a particular facility.

[0514] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0603] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0604] Conventional information provision systems using visual devices only allow users to visually obtain information about surrounding facilities, and have the problem of not being able to provide optimal information based on the user's current emotional state. Specifically, even if a user is feeling stressed, for example, they may not be provided with information about facilities where they can relax or special offers, which could result in a less meaningful shopping experience.

[0605] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0606] In this invention, the server includes means for selecting and returning optimal information taking into consideration the user's emotional information, means for preprocessing video data acquired by a camera attached to the visual device, and means for performing image analysis using an artificial intelligence model that identifies facilities based on the preprocessed video data. This allows the user to obtain recommended information based on their emotional state while obtaining information about surrounding facilities through the visual device in real time.

[0607] A "visual device" is a device equipped with a display and camera worn by the user, and has the function of capturing images within the user's field of vision and displaying the information.

[0608] A "camera" is an image capturing device attached to a visual device that captures images in the user's field of view in real time.

[0609] "Preprocessing" refers to processes such as removing noise from acquired video data and adjusting resolution to improve the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[0610] An "artificial intelligence model" is a system that uses pattern recognition technology to identify facilities based on their exterior appearance, signage, logo, and other characteristics.

[0611] "Image analysis" refers to the process of identifying facilities using artificial intelligence models based on pre-processed video data.

[0612] "Emotional information" refers to data relating to the user's emotional state obtained by analyzing the user's voice, facial expression, and biometric information.

[0613] The "server" is a computer system that retrieves detailed facility information and recommended information from a database, and selects and returns the most appropriate information to the user, taking into account emotional information.

[0614] "Detailed information" refers to specific information about a facility, such as the facility's opening hours, ratings, and special offers.

[0616] "Recommended information" refers to information on products, services, locations, etc. that are optimal for a user and are selected with consideration given to emotional information.

[0617] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0618] The present invention is a system in which a user wears a visual device and acquires and displays information about surrounding facilities in real time, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. A specific embodiment of this system will be described.

[0619] A user wears a visual device such as smart glasses, and a camera attached to the visual device captures images of what the user sees in real time. The video data captured by the camera is temporarily stored in the visual device. The device then begins preprocessing the video data. Preprocessing includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, which improves the clarity of the image and the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[0620] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo.

[0621] Meanwhile, the visual device is equipped with an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state by analyzing the user's voice, facial expressions, and biometric information (heart rate, skin galvanic response, etc.). For example, it can detect when the user is feeling stressed or curious.

[0622] Facility information and emotional information are sent from the device to the server as a request. The request includes the name and category of the identified facility, as well as the user's emotional information. The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from its database. This information includes opening hours, ratings, and special offers. The server then takes the emotional information into consideration and selects the information that best suits the user's current emotional state, which it then sends back to the device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, the facility's highly rated menu items and special offers are highlighted. If the user is feeling stressed, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information are also displayed.

[0623] As a specific example of use, imagine a user is walking through a shopping mall and the camera captures a sign for "Bookstore A." TensorFlow Lite identifies "Bookstore A" and performs sentiment analysis on the audio data. If it determines the sentiment is "positive," it sends "Bookstore A" and "positive" to the server. Information returned from the server, such as "discount information for bestselling books," is displayed on the smart glasses, and the user can see a pop-up that says "20% off bestselling books."

[0624] The following hardware and software are used to realize this system.

[0625] Hardware: Smart glasses (with camera), user device (smartphone, etc.)

[0626] Software: OpenCV (preprocessing), TensorFlow Lite (image analysis), Amazon Comprehend (sentiment analysis)

[0627] An example of a prompt is as follows:

[0628] example:

[0629] As the user walks through a shopping mall, the camera captures a sign for "Bookstore A." "Bookstore A" is identified using TensorFlow Lite. Sentiment analysis is performed on the audio data, and the result is determined to be "positive." "Bookstore A" and "positive" are sent to the server. The server returns "discount information for best-selling books." A pop-up message saying "20% off best-selling books" appears on the smart glasses.

[0630] As described above, the present invention is a system that allows users to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and provides optimal information based on their emotions, thereby improving the user experience and providing more meaningful information.

[0631] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0632] Step 1:

[0633] The user wears a visual device. The camera of this visual device captures the image of the user's field of view in real time. The input is the image of the user's field of view, and the output is raw image data temporarily stored in the visual device. Specifically, the camera constantly follows the user's field of view and continuously captures the image.

[0634] Step 2:

[0635] The device performs preprocessing on the captured video data. This preprocessing includes noise removal and resolution adjustment. The input is the captured raw video data, and the output is clear video data with noise removed and resolution adjusted. Specifically, the OpenCV library is used to filter noise and optimize resolution.

[0636] Step 3:

[0637] The preprocessed video data is input into an artificial intelligence model (generative AI model) installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. The input is the preprocessed video data, and the output is the name and category of the identified facility. Specifically, TensorFlow Lite is used to perform pattern recognition based on the facility's exterior, sign, and logo.

[0638] Step 4:

[0639] The device uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice, facial expression, and biometric information (such as heart rate and galvanic skin response). The input is the user's voice, facial expression, and biometric information, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state. Specifically, it collects and analyzes data from Amazon Comprehend and biometric sensors.

[0640] Step 5:

[0641] The device sends facility information and emotion information as a request to the server. The input is the name and category of the identified facility and the user's emotion information, and the output is the request data sent to the server. Specifically, the data is communicated to the server using a RESTful API.

[0642] Step 6:

[0643] The server analyzes the request data it receives. The server retrieves detailed information about the facility (such as opening hours, ratings, and special offers) from the database and selects the most appropriate recommendation information taking into account emotional information. The input is the request data sent to the server, and the output is detailed information about the facility and the most appropriate information for the user. Specifically, it extracts data from AWS RDS and filters the information as needed.

[0644] Step 7:

[0645] The server returns the selected optimal information to the terminal. The input is detailed information and recommended information about the selected facility, and the output is the response data sent to the terminal. Specifically, the data is sent to the terminal again using the RESTful API.

[0646] Step 8:

[0647] The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through the visual device. The input is detailed facility information and recommended information returned from the server, and the output is the information displayed on the visual device's display. Specifically, the information is displayed visually using the Unity engine, etc.

[0648] Through the above processing steps, the user can obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device, and can obtain optimal information based on their emotions.

[0649] 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.

[0650] 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.

[0651] 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 smart glasses 214.

[0657] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user 20 by receiving voice uttered by the user 20. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user 20, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio in accordance with instructions from the processor 46.

[0658] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the surroundings of user 20 (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0659] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 control the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0660] Fig. 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset type terminal 314. As shown in Fig. 6, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0664] Next, a description will be given of the identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0665] The present invention aims to enable a user wearing a visual device to acquire and display information about surrounding facilities in real time. The specific processing content of the program and specific examples are described below.

[0666] First, the user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time. This image is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0667] The device then begins preprocessing the video data, which includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, to improve the clarity of the image and subsequent analysis.

[0668] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo.

[0669] Once the device identifies the facility information, it sends a request to the server based on that information. The request includes identification information such as the facility name and category.

[0670] The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then sends this information back to the terminal as a response.

[0671] The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that can be understood by the user through the visual device. Specifically, detailed facility information is overlaid on the visual device's display, allowing the user to grasp detailed facility information in real time on-site.

[0672] Specific examples are given below.

[0673] Imagine a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view. At this time, the camera in the vision device captures video of the cafe. The device preprocesses the video and inputs it into the AI ​​model. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Café Delight." The device sends the identified information to the server, which retrieves "Café Delight's" business hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and special offers (10% off coupon available) from its database and sends them back to the device. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display.

[0674] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows a user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0675] The above is a specific description of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0676] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0677] Step 1:

[0678] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of the user's field of view in real time. The image data is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0679] Step 2:

[0680] The device begins pre-processing the captured video data, performing processes such as noise removal and resolution adjustment to make it easier for AI to analyze. This makes the video clearer and highlights the facility's unique features.

[0681] Step 3:

[0682] After preprocessing, the device inputs the video data into an artificial intelligence model. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and identifies the facility based on features such as the facility's exterior, sign, and logo contained in the video. For example, if a sign reads "Café Delight," it will perform character recognition.

[0683] Step 4:

[0684] The terminal sends a request to the server based on the identified facility information. The request includes information such as the name and category of the identified facility.

[0685] Step 5:

[0686] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from the database, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The retrieved information is then sent back to the terminal as a response.

[0687] Step 6:

[0688] The device analyzes the detailed facility information received from the server and displays it on the visual device's display. Specifically, the facility's name, opening hours, ratings, and special offer information are overlaid in the user's field of vision.

[0689] Step 7:

[0690] The user can check the detailed information of the facility displayed on the visual device and take the necessary action. For example, when information about the cafe "Café Delight" is displayed, the user can check the opening hours and special offers and decide whether to visit.

[0691] The above is a detailed description of the specific processing steps of the program and the operations at each step.

[0692] Example 1

[0693] 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."

[0694] Conventional technologies lack a means for users to quickly and easily obtain detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time. This requires users to perform manual searches, which is not only inconvenient but also inefficient. Furthermore, conventional approaches are difficult to implement in situations where instantaneous on-site information is required. To address these issues, the present invention aims to provide a system that allows users to obtain facility information in real time using a visual device and instantly display detailed information.

[0695] 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.

[0696] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring images of the user's field of view using a camera attached to a visual device worn by the user, means for preprocessing the acquired image data, means for performing image analysis using an artificial intelligence model for identifying facilities based on the preprocessed image data, means for requesting facility information acquired based on the image analysis from the server, and means for overlaying the detailed facility information returned from the server on the display of the visual device, thereby enabling the user to quickly acquire detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device and efficiently utilize it.

[0697] A "user" is a person who utilizes the system of the present invention by wearing a visual device.

[0698] A "visual device" is a device worn by a user that includes a display and camera that displays to the field of view.

[0699] A "camera" is a photographing device attached to a visual device for capturing images within the user's field of vision.

[0700] "Video data" refers to digital data of images and videos captured by a camera.

[0701] "Preprocessing" refers to the step of performing processes such as noise removal and resolution adjustment on the video data.

[0702] An "artificial intelligence model" is an AI algorithm that uses pattern recognition technology to identify facilities contained within video footage.

[0703] "Image analysis" is the process of using artificial intelligence models to identify facility information from video data.

[0704] "Facility information" refers to data such as the name, category, and detailed information of the identified facility.

[0705] A "server" is a computer system that searches a database based on a request, obtains detailed facility information, and returns a response.

[0706] A "database" is an information aggregation system owned by a server that stores detailed facility information.

[0707] "Overlay display" refers to a function that displays information superimposed on the image displayed on the display of a visual device.

[0708] The present invention is a system that acquires information about surrounding facilities in real time while the user is wearing a visual device, and displays the details on the visual device. The processing contents of the program will be specifically described below.

[0709] First, the user wears a visual device. The device is equipped with a camera that captures images of the user's field of vision in real time. This image data is temporarily stored in the device.

[0710] Next, the device begins preprocessing the video data. This includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment. This makes the video clearer and improves the accuracy of subsequent analysis. This preprocessing typically uses an image processing library such as OpenCV.

[0711] Once preprocessed, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo. Frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch are used for the AI ​​model.

[0712] Once the device identifies the facility information, it sends a request to the server based on that information. The request includes identifying information such as the facility's name and category. The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility. This detailed information includes opening hours, ratings, special offers, and more. The server uses cloud services such as AWS and Google Cloud, and databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.

[0713] The acquired detailed facility information is sent back to the terminal as a response from the server. The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through the visual device. Specifically, the detailed facility information is overlaid on the display of the visual device. This allows the user to grasp detailed facility information in real time on-site.

[0714] Here's a specific example: When a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view, the camera in the vision device captures video of the cafe. The device preprocesses the video and inputs it into an AI model. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Cafe Delight." The device sends the identified information to a server, which retrieves Cafe Delight's opening hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and special offers (10% off coupon available) from a database and sends them back to the device. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display.

[0715] An example prompt is, "A user wears a visual device, and a camera captures video of the surroundings in real time. The video is preprocessed, and an AI model identifies the facility. Based on this facility information, a server provides detailed information, which is displayed on the visual device. As a specific example, please explain how detailed information about the cafe "Cafe Delight" is obtained and displayed to the user."

[0716] The above is a specific description of the embodiment of the present invention. With this system, a user can obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0717] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0718] Step 1:

[0719] The user wears a visual device, and a camera attached to the device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time.

[0720] Input: The image that the user sees.

[0721] Specific operation: The user wears the visual device on their head, and the camera continuously captures objects within their field of view.

[0722] Output: Captured video data.

[0723] Step 2:

[0724] The device pre-processes the captured video data, removing noise and adjusting the resolution to make the video clearer.

[0725] Input: The captured video data that is the output of step 1.

[0726] Data processing: Use an image processing library such as OpenCV to remove noise from the video data and improve its resolution.

[0727] Specific operation: The device filters the video data to reduce noise and adjust the image resolution appropriately.

[0728] Output: Pre-processed video data.

[0729] Step 3:

[0730] The device performs image analysis using artificial intelligence models to identify facilities based on pre-processed video data.

[0731] Input: The preprocessed video data that is the output of step 2.

[0732] Data Computing: Using AI frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, facilities are identified from video data.

[0733] Specific operation: Preprocessed video is input into the AI ​​model, and the facility's exterior, signs, logos, etc. are analyzed using a pattern recognition algorithm.

[0734] Output: Data with facility names and categories identified.

[0735] Step 4:

[0736] The device sends a request to the server based on the facility information it has identified, including identification information such as the facility name and category.

[0737] Input: Identified facility information, which is the output of Step 3.

[0738] Data processing: The facility identification information is converted into a data format for sending to the server as an HTTP request.

[0739] Specific operation: The terminal generates a request message containing facility information such as "Cafe Delight" and sends it to the server.

[0740] Output: The request data sent.

[0741] Step 5:

[0742] The server searches the database based on the received request and obtains detailed information about the facility.

[0743] Input: The request data sent in step 4.

[0744] Data Computation: Querying database systems such as MySQL or PostgreSQL to retrieve the requested facility details.

[0745] What happens: The server queries the database to get information about Cafe Delight, such as its hours of operation, ratings, and special offers.

[0746] Output: Detailed information about the retrieved facilities.

[0747] Step 6:

[0748] The terminal receives the detailed facility information returned from the server and displays it as an overlay on the display of the visual device.

[0749] Input: The retrieved facility details, which is the output of step 5.

[0750] Data processing: Preparing information in a format suitable for display on visual devices.

[0751] Specific operation: Detailed facility information (e.g., business hours 8:00-20:00, rating 4.5 / 5, 10% off coupon available) is sent to the user's visual device and overlaid on the screen.

[0752] Output: Facility details displayed on a visual aid.

[0753] The above are the specific processing steps of the program of this system, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0754] (Application example 1)

[0755] 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."

[0756] In modern society, users need to quickly and easily obtain information about nearby facilities while on the move. However, conventional methods require searching on a smartphone to obtain facility information, which is time-consuming and lacks real-time information. Furthermore, integrating information from different sources increases the burden on users, making it difficult to obtain information efficiently. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient system that allows users to instantly obtain detailed facility information on the spot using a visual device.

[0757] 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.

[0758] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring video within the user's field of view using a camera attached to a visual device worn by the user, means for preprocessing the acquired video data, means for performing image analysis using a generative AI model for identifying facilities based on the preprocessed video data, means for requesting facility information acquired based on the image analysis from the server via a communication device, and means for overlaying and displaying detailed facility information returned from the server on the display device of the visual device, thereby enabling the user to acquire information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check the detailed information.

[0759] A "visual device" is a device that can display visual information on a display when worn by a user.

[0760] A "camera" is a device that is attached to a visual device and has the function of capturing images that come into the user's field of vision.

[0761] "Preprocessing" refers to processing such as removing noise from acquired video data and adjusting resolution to improve the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[0762] "Generative AI model" means an artificial intelligence model used to analyze video data and identify the category and specific name of a facility.

[0763] A "communication device" is a device for transmitting identified facility information to a server and receiving a response from the server.

[0764] The "display device" is a display that is mounted on the visual device and has the function of overlaying detailed facility information to the user.

[0765] A "prompt sentence" is an instruction sentence used by the generative AI model to identify a facility.

[0766] The present invention provides a system that acquires and displays surrounding facility information in real time using a visual device worn by a user. This system is composed of an image capture device, a preprocessing module, a generative AI model, a communication device, and a display device mounted on the visual device.

[0767] The vision device is equipped with a camera for capturing images in real time. The camera captures the image of the user's field of view and sends it to a pre-processing module, where processing such as noise reduction and resolution adjustment of the image data is performed. This pre-processing improves the accuracy of subsequent image analysis.

[0768] The preprocessed video data is then input into a generative AI model, which uses pattern recognition technology to identify facilities within the video. Specifically, the model analyzes the facility's exterior, signage, logo, and other features to identify the facility's category and specific name. A prompt is then generated to assist the AI ​​model in the identification process.

[0769] The communication device is responsible for transmitting the identified facility information to the server. The server receives this information and searches a database to obtain detailed information about the facility, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then sends these details back to the visual device via the communication device.

[0770] Finally, the display device displays the information returned from the server to the user. Specifically, detailed facility information is overlaid on the display of the visual device, allowing the user to check detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device.

[0771] As a specific example, consider the flow from when a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view, to when a camera captures video of the cafe. The preprocessing module preprocesses this video and inputs it into the generative AI model. The generative AI model identifies the cafe, and the communication device sends this information to the server. The server receives the returned detailed information about the cafe (opening hours, ratings, special offers), which it then overlays on the display of the visual device.

[0772] The following are examples of prompt statements:

[0773] User looks at "Cafe" and gets real-time information overlay showing operation hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and a special coupon (10% off).

[0774] The above is a specific description of the embodiment of the present invention, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0775] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0776] Step 1:

[0777] When a user walks around town, the camera of the vision device captures the image that comes into the user's field of view in real time. The input is the user's field of view, and the output is the captured image data.

[0778] Step 2:

[0779] The captured video data is processed by the pre-processing module. Specifically, noise removal and resolution adjustment are performed. The input is the captured video data, and the output is pre-processed video data that has been subjected to noise removal and resolution adjustment.

[0780] Step 3:

[0781] The preprocessed video data is input into the generative AI model to identify the facility. Specifically, the model analyzes the facility's exterior, signage, logo, and other features, and identifies the facility's category and specific name using prompt text. The input is the preprocessed video data, and the output is the facility's identification information (facility name, category).

[0782] Step 4:

[0783] The identified facility information is sent to the server by the communication device. Specifically, the facility name and category information are constructed as an HTTP request and sent to the server. The input at this time is the facility identification information, and the output is a request to the server.

[0784] Step 5:

[0785] The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility (such as opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc.) The input is the request to the server, and the output is the detailed information about the facility.

[0786] Step 6:

[0787] The server returns the acquired facility details to the visual device via the communication device. Specifically, the facility details are constructed as an HTTP response and sent to the visual device. The input at this time is the facility details, and the output is the response from the server.

[0788] Step 7:

[0789] The display device of the visual device overlays the detailed facility information received from the server. Specifically, the detailed facility information is displayed on the display in an appropriate position according to the user's field of view. The input at this time is the response from the server, and the output is the detailed facility information overlaid on the user's field of view.

[0790] The above is a description of the specific processing steps in the system for implementing the present invention, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0791] 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.

[0792] The present invention is a system that allows a user to wear a visual device and acquire and display information about surrounding facilities in real time, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. The specific processing content of the program and concrete examples are explained below.

[0793] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time. This image is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0794] The device then begins preprocessing the video data, which includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, to improve the clarity of the image and subsequent analysis.

[0795] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo.

[0796] The visual device is equipped with an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state by analyzing the user's voice, facial expressions, and biometric information (heart rate, skin galvanic response, etc.). For example, it can detect when the user is feeling stressed or curious.

[0797] The device sends a request to the server based on the facility information and emotion information. The request includes the name and category of the identified facility and the user's emotion information.

[0798] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from the database, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then considers the user's emotional information and selects the information that best suits the user's current emotional state and returns it to the terminal.

[0799] The device analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through their visual device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, highly rated menu items and special offers will be highlighted. If the user is feeling stressed, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information will be displayed.

[0800] Specific examples are given below.

[0801] Imagine a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view. The vision device's camera captures the image, and the device pre-processes the image. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Café Delight." The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotion and determines that the emotional state is positive, for example. The device sends the facility information and emotion information to the server, which then returns detailed information about "Café Delight" along with recommended menu items and special offers. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display, allowing the user to obtain the most relevant information in real time.

[0802] In this way, the present invention is a system that allows users to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and provides optimal information based on their emotions, improving the user experience and providing more meaningful information.

[0803] The above is a specific description of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0804] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0805] Step 1:

[0806] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of the user's field of view in real time. This image data is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0807] Step 2:

[0808] The device begins pre-processing the captured video data, which includes noise removal and resolution adjustment, making the video clearer and easier for AI to analyze.

[0809] Step 3:

[0810] After preprocessing, the device inputs the video data into an artificial intelligence model, which then analyzes the images and identifies the facility based on its exterior, signage, logo, and other features contained in the video.

[0811] Step 4:

[0812] To recognize the user's emotions, the emotion engine of the vision device analyzes voice, facial expressions, and biometric information (e.g., heart rate, galvanic skin response). The emotion engine identifies the user's current emotional state.

[0813] Step 5:

[0814] The terminal sends a request to the server based on the facility information and the user's emotion information. The request includes the facility name, category, and emotion information.

[0815] Step 6:

[0816] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility (e.g., opening hours, ratings, special offers) from the database. The server also selects the most appropriate additional information based on the emotional information.

[0817] Step 7:

[0818] The server returns the acquired detailed information and selected additional information to the terminal as a response.

[0819] Step 8:

[0820] The device analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can perceive through their visual device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, highly rated menu items and special offers will be highlighted, and if the user is showing signs of stress, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information will be displayed.

[0821] Step 9:

[0822] The user can check the detailed information of the facility and additional emotional information displayed on the visual device and take the necessary action. For example, when information about the cafe "Café Delight" is displayed, the user can check the opening hours and special offers and decide whether to visit.

[0823] The above is a detailed description of the specific processing steps of the program and the operations at each step.

[0826] Conventional information acquisition systems using visual devices have difficulty providing optimal information according to the user's emotional state and environment. Furthermore, the acquired information is merely mechanical, which is insufficient for improving the user experience. Specifically, there is a lack of information presentation tailored to the user's stressful state or positive feelings toward a particular facility.

[0827] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0931] The present invention is a system in which a user wears a visual device and acquires and displays information about surrounding facilities in real time, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. A specific embodiment of this system will be described.

[0932] A user wears a visual device such as smart glasses, and a camera attached to the visual device captures images of what the user sees in real time. The video data captured by the camera is temporarily stored in the visual device. The device then begins preprocessing the video data. Preprocessing includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, which improves the clarity of the image and the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[0933] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video.

For example, it can detect when the user is feeling stressed or curious.

[0935] Facility information and emotional information are sent from the device to the server as a request. The request includes the name and category of the identified facility, as well as the user's emotional information. The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from its database. This information includes opening hours, ratings, and special offers. The server then takes the emotional information into consideration and selects the information that best suits the user's current emotional state, which it then sends back to the device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, the facility's highly rated menu items and special offers are highlighted. If the user is feeling stressed, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information are also displayed.

[0936] As a specific example of use, imagine a user is walking through a shopping mall and the camera captures a sign for "Bookstore A." TensorFlow Lite identifies "Bookstore A" and performs sentiment analysis on the audio data. If it determines the sentiment is "positive," it sends "Bookstore A" and "positive" to the server. Information returned from the server, such as "discount information for bestselling books," is displayed on the smart glasses, and the user can see a pop-up that says "20% off bestselling books."

[0937] The following hardware and software are used to realize this system.

[0938] Hardware: Smart glasses (with camera), user device (smartphone, etc.)

[0939] Software: OpenCV (preprocessing), TensorFlow Lite (image analysis), Amazon Comprehend (sentiment analysis)

[0940] An example of a prompt is as follows:

[0941] example:

[0942] As the user walks through a shopping mall, the camera captures a sign for "Bookstore A." "Bookstore A" is identified using TensorFlow Lite. Sentiment analysis is performed on the audio data, and the result is determined to be "positive." "Bookstore A" and "positive" are sent to the server. The server returns "discount information for best-selling books." A pop-up message saying "20% off best-selling books" appears on the smart glasses.

[0943] As described above, the present invention is a system that allows users to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and provides optimal information based on their emotions, thereby improving the user experience and providing more meaningful information.

[0944] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0945] Step 1:

[0946] The user wears a visual device. The camera of this visual device captures the image of the user's field of view in real time. The input is the image of the user's field of view, and the output is raw image data temporarily stored in the visual device. Specifically, the camera constantly follows the user's field of view and continuously captures the image.

[0947] Step 2:

[0948] The device performs preprocessing on the captured video data. This preprocessing includes noise removal and resolution adjustment. The input is the captured raw video data, and the output is clear video data with noise removed and resolution adjusted. Specifically, the OpenCV library is used to filter noise and optimize resolution.

[0949] Step 3:

[0950] The preprocessed video data is input into an artificial intelligence model (generative AI model) installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. The input is the preprocessed video data, and the output is the name and category of the identified facility. Specifically, TensorFlow Lite is used to perform pattern recognition based on the facility's exterior, sign, and logo.

[0951] Step 4:

[0952] The device uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice, facial expression, and biometric information (such as heart rate and galvanic skin response). The input is the user's voice, facial expression, and biometric information, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state. Specifically, it collects and analyzes data from Amazon Comprehend and biometric sensors.

[0953] Step 5:

[0954] The device sends facility information and emotion information as a request to the server. The input is the name and category of the identified facility and the user's emotion information, and the output is the request data sent to the server. Specifically, the data is communicated to the server using a RESTful API.

[0955] Step 6:

[0956] The server analyzes the request data it receives. The server retrieves detailed information about the facility (such as opening hours, ratings, and special offers) from the database and selects the most appropriate recommendation information taking into account emotional information. The input is the request data sent to the server, and the output is detailed information about the facility and the most appropriate information for the user. Specifically, it extracts data from AWS RDS and filters the information as needed.

[0957] Step 7:

[0958] The server returns the selected optimal information to the terminal. The input is detailed information and recommended information about the selected facility, and the output is the response data sent to the terminal. Specifically, the data is sent to the terminal again using the RESTful API.

[0959] Step 8:

[0960] The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through the visual device. The input is detailed facility information and recommended information returned from the server, and the output is the information displayed on the visual device's display. Specifically, the information is displayed visually using the Unity engine, etc.

[0961] Through the above processing steps, the user can obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device, and can obtain optimal information based on their emotions.

[0962] 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.

[0963] 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.

[0964] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the headset type terminal 314.

[0970] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user 20 by receiving voice uttered by the user 20. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user 20, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio in accordance with instructions from the processor 46.

[0971] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the surroundings of user 20 (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0972] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 control the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0973] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors for driving the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0974] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

The reception output process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the reception output program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[0978] Next, a description will be given of the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. 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."

[0979] The present invention aims to enable a user wearing a visual device to acquire and display information about surrounding facilities in real time. The specific processing content of the program and specific examples are described below.

[0980] First, the user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time. This image is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0981] The device then begins preprocessing the video data, which includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, to improve the clarity of the image and subsequent analysis.

[0982] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo.

[0983] Once the device identifies the facility information, it sends a request to the server based on that information. The request includes identification information such as the facility name and category.

[0984] The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then sends this information back to the terminal as a response.

[0985] The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that can be understood by the user through the visual device. Specifically, detailed facility information is overlaid on the visual device's display, allowing the user to grasp detailed facility information in real time on-site.

[0986] Specific examples are given below.

[0987] Imagine a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view. At this time, the camera in the vision device captures video of the cafe. The device preprocesses the video and inputs it into the AI ​​model. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Café Delight." The device sends the identified information to the server, which retrieves "Café Delight's" business hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and special offers (10% off coupon available) from its database and sends them back to the device. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display.

[0988] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows a user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[0989] The above is a specific description of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0990] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0991] Step 1:

[0992] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of the user's field of view in real time. The image data is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[0993] Step 2:

[0994] The device begins pre-processing the captured video data, performing processes such as noise removal and resolution adjustment to make it easier for AI to analyze. This makes the video clearer and highlights the facility's unique features.

[0995] Step 3:

[0996] After preprocessing, the device inputs the video data into an artificial intelligence model. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and identifies the facility based on features such as the facility's exterior, sign, and logo contained in the video. For example, if a sign reads "Café Delight," it will perform character recognition.

[0997] Step 4:

[0998] The terminal sends a request to the server based on the identified facility information. The request includes information such as the name and category of the identified facility.

[0999] Step 5:

[1000] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from the database, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The retrieved information is then sent back to the terminal as a response.

[1001] Step 6:

[1002] The device analyzes the detailed facility information received from the server and displays it on the visual device's display. Specifically, the facility's name, opening hours, ratings, and special offer information are overlaid in the user's field of vision.

[1003] Step 7:

[1004] The user can check the detailed information of the facility displayed on the visual device and take the necessary action. For example, when information about the cafe "Café Delight" is displayed, the user can check the opening hours and special offers and decide whether to visit.

[1005] The above is a detailed description of the specific processing steps of the program and the operations at each step.

[1006] Example 1

[1007] 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."

[1008] Conventional technologies lack a means for users to quickly and easily obtain detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time. This requires users to perform manual searches, which is not only inconvenient but also inefficient. Furthermore, conventional approaches are difficult to implement in situations where instantaneous on-site information is required. To address these issues, the present invention aims to provide a system that allows users to obtain facility information in real time using a visual device and instantly display detailed information.

[1009] 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.

[1010] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring images of the user's field of view using a camera attached to a visual device worn by the user, means for preprocessing the acquired image data, means for performing image analysis using an artificial intelligence model for identifying facilities based on the preprocessed image data, means for requesting facility information acquired based on the image analysis from the server, and means for overlaying the detailed facility information returned from the server on the display of the visual device, thereby enabling the user to quickly acquire detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device and efficiently utilize it.

[1011] A "user" is a person who utilizes the system of the present invention by wearing a visual device.

[1012] A "visual device" is a device worn by a user that includes a display and camera that displays to the field of view.

[1013] A "camera" is a photographing device attached to a visual device for capturing images within the user's field of vision.

[1014] "Video data" refers to digital data of images and videos captured by a camera.

[1015] "Preprocessing" refers to the step of performing processes such as noise removal and resolution adjustment on the video data.

[1016] An "artificial intelligence model" is an AI algorithm that uses pattern recognition technology to identify facilities contained within video footage.

[1017] "Image analysis" is the process of using artificial intelligence models to identify facility information from video data.

[1018] "Facility information" refers to data such as the name, category, and detailed information of the identified facility.

[1019] A "server" is a computer system that searches a database based on a request, obtains detailed facility information, and returns a response.

[1020] A "database" is an information aggregation system owned by a server that stores detailed facility information.

[1021] "Overlay display" refers to a function that displays information superimposed on the image displayed on the display of a visual device.

[1022] The present invention is a system that acquires information about surrounding facilities in real time while the user is wearing a visual device, and displays the details on the visual device. The processing contents of the program will be specifically described below.

[1023] First, the user wears a visual device. The device is equipped with a camera that captures images of the user's field of vision in real time. This image data is temporarily stored in the device.

[1024] Next, the device begins preprocessing the video data. This includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment. This makes the video clearer and improves the accuracy of subsequent analysis. This preprocessing typically uses an image processing library such as OpenCV.

[1025] Once preprocessed, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo. Frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch are used for the AI ​​model.

[1026] Once the device identifies the facility information, it sends a request to the server based on that information. The request includes identifying information such as the facility's name and category. The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility. This detailed information includes opening hours, ratings, special offers, and more. The server uses cloud services such as AWS and Google Cloud, and databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.

[1027] The acquired detailed facility information is sent back to the terminal as a response from the server. The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through the visual device. Specifically, the detailed facility information is overlaid on the display of the visual device. This allows the user to grasp detailed facility information in real time on-site.

[1028] Here's a specific example: When a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view, the camera in the vision device captures video of the cafe. The device preprocesses the video and inputs it into an AI model. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Cafe Delight." The device sends the identified information to a server, which retrieves Cafe Delight's opening hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and special offers (10% off coupon available) from a database and sends them back to the device. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display.

[1029] An example prompt is, "A user wears a visual device, and a camera captures video of the surroundings in real time. The video is preprocessed, and an AI model identifies the facility. Based on this facility information, a server provides detailed information, which is displayed on the visual device. As a specific example, please explain how detailed information about the cafe "Cafe Delight" is obtained and displayed to the user."

[1030] The above is a specific description of the embodiment of the present invention. With this system, a user can obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[1031] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1032] Step 1:

[1033] The user wears a visual device, and a camera attached to the device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time.

[1034] Input: The image that the user sees.

[1035] Specific operation: The user wears the visual device on their head, and the camera continuously captures objects within their field of view.

[1036] Output: Captured video data.

[1037] Step 2:

[1038] The device pre-processes the captured video data, removing noise and adjusting the resolution to make the video clearer.

[1039] Input: The captured video data that is the output of step 1.

[1040] Data processing: Use an image processing library such as OpenCV to remove noise from the video data and improve its resolution.

[1041] Specific operation: The device filters the video data to reduce noise and adjust the image resolution appropriately.

[1042] Output: Pre-processed video data.

[1043] Step 3:

[1044] The device performs image analysis using artificial intelligence models to identify facilities based on pre-processed video data.

[1045] Input: The preprocessed video data that is the output of step 2.

[1046] Data Computing: Using AI frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, facilities are identified from video data.

[1047] Specific operation: Preprocessed video is input into the AI ​​model, and the facility's exterior, signs, logos, etc. are analyzed using a pattern recognition algorithm.

[1048] Output: Data with facility names and categories identified.

[1049] Step 4:

[1050] The device sends a request to the server based on the facility information it has identified, including identification information such as the facility name and category.

[1051] Input: Identified facility information, which is the output of Step 3.

[1052] Data processing: The facility identification information is converted into a data format for sending to the server as an HTTP request.

[1053] Specific operation: The terminal generates a request message containing facility information such as "Cafe Delight" and sends it to the server.

[1054] Output: The request data sent.

[1055] Step 5:

[1056] The server searches the database based on the received request and obtains detailed information about the facility.

[1057] Input: The request data sent in step 4.

[1058] Data Computation: Querying database systems such as MySQL or PostgreSQL to retrieve the requested facility details.

[1059] What happens: The server queries the database to get information about Cafe Delight, such as its hours of operation, ratings, and special offers.

[1060] Output: Detailed information about the retrieved facilities.

[1061] Step 6:

[1062] The terminal receives the detailed facility information returned from the server and displays it as an overlay on the display of the visual device.

[1063] Input: The retrieved facility details, which is the output of step 5.

[1064] Data processing: Preparing information in a format suitable for display on visual devices.

[1065] Specific operation: Detailed facility information (e.g., business hours 8:00-20:00, rating 4.5 / 5, 10% off coupon available) is sent to the user's visual device and overlaid on the screen.

[1066] Output: Facility details displayed on a visual aid.

[1067] The above are the specific processing steps of the program of this system, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[1068] (Application example 1)

[1069] 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."

[1070] In modern society, users need to quickly and easily obtain information about nearby facilities while on the move. However, conventional methods require searching on a smartphone to obtain facility information, which is time-consuming and lacks real-time information. Furthermore, integrating information from different sources increases the burden on users, making it difficult to obtain information efficiently. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient system that allows users to instantly obtain detailed facility information on the spot using a visual device.

[1071] 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.

[1072] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring video within the user's field of view using a camera attached to a visual device worn by the user, means for preprocessing the acquired video data, means for performing image analysis using a generative AI model for identifying facilities based on the preprocessed video data, means for requesting facility information acquired based on the image analysis from the server via a communication device, and means for overlaying and displaying detailed facility information returned from the server on the display device of the visual device, thereby enabling the user to acquire information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check the detailed information.

[1073] A "visual device" is a device that can display visual information on a display when worn by a user.

[1074] A "camera" is a device that is attached to a visual device and has the function of capturing images that come into the user's field of vision.

[1075] "Preprocessing" refers to processing such as removing noise from acquired video data and adjusting resolution to improve the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[1076] "Generative AI model" means an artificial intelligence model used to analyze video data and identify the category and specific name of a facility.

[1077] A "communication device" is a device for transmitting identified facility information to a server and receiving a response from the server.

[1078] The "display device" is a display that is mounted on the visual device and has the function of overlaying detailed facility information to the user.

[1079] A "prompt sentence" is an instruction sentence used by the generative AI model to identify a facility.

[1080] The present invention provides a system that acquires and displays surrounding facility information in real time using a visual device worn by a user. This system is composed of an image capture device, a preprocessing module, a generative AI model, a communication device, and a display device mounted on the visual device.

[1081] The vision device is equipped with a camera for capturing images in real time. The camera captures the image of the user's field of view and sends it to a pre-processing module, where processing such as noise reduction and resolution adjustment of the image data is performed. This pre-processing improves the accuracy of subsequent image analysis.

[1082] The preprocessed video data is then input into a generative AI model, which uses pattern recognition technology to identify facilities within the video. Specifically, the model analyzes the facility's exterior, signage, logo, and other features to identify the facility's category and specific name. A prompt is then generated to assist the AI ​​model in the identification process.

[1083] The communication device is responsible for transmitting the identified facility information to the server. The server receives this information and searches a database to obtain detailed information about the facility, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then sends these details back to the visual device via the communication device.

[1084] Finally, the display device displays the information returned from the server to the user. Specifically, detailed facility information is overlaid on the display of the visual device, allowing the user to check detailed information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device.

[1085] As a specific example, consider the flow from when a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view, to when a camera captures video of the cafe. The preprocessing module preprocesses this video and inputs it into the generative AI model. The generative AI model identifies the cafe, and the communication device sends this information to the server. The server receives the returned detailed information about the cafe (opening hours, ratings, special offers), which it then overlays on the display of the visual device.

[1086] The following are examples of prompt statements:

[1087] User looks at "Cafe" and gets real-time information overlay showing operation hours (8:00-20:00), rating (4.5 / 5), and a special coupon (10% off).

[1088] The above is a specific description of the embodiment of the present invention, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[1089] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1090] Step 1:

[1091] When a user walks around town, the camera of the vision device captures the image that comes into the user's field of view in real time. The input is the user's field of view, and the output is the captured image data.

[1092] Step 2:

[1093] The captured video data is processed by the pre-processing module. Specifically, noise removal and resolution adjustment are performed. The input is the captured video data, and the output is pre-processed video data that has been subjected to noise removal and resolution adjustment.

[1094] Step 3:

[1095] The preprocessed video data is input into the generative AI model to identify the facility. Specifically, the model analyzes the facility's exterior, signage, logo, and other features, and identifies the facility's category and specific name using prompt text. The input is the preprocessed video data, and the output is the facility's identification information (facility name, category).

[1096] Step 4:

[1097] The identified facility information is sent to the server by the communication device. Specifically, the facility name and category information are constructed as an HTTP request and sent to the server. The input at this time is the facility identification information, and the output is a request to the server.

[1098] Step 5:

[1099] The server searches the database based on the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility (such as opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc.) The input is the request to the server, and the output is the detailed information about the facility.

[1100] Step 6:

[1101] The server returns the acquired facility details to the visual device via the communication device. Specifically, the facility details are constructed as an HTTP response and sent to the visual device. The input at this time is the facility details, and the output is the response from the server.

[1102] Step 7:

[1103] The display device of the visual device overlays the detailed facility information received from the server. Specifically, the detailed facility information is displayed on the display in an appropriate position according to the user's field of view. The input at this time is the response from the server, and the output is the detailed facility information overlaid on the user's field of view.

[1104] The above is a description of the specific processing steps in the system for implementing the present invention, which allows the user to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and efficiently check detailed information.

[1105] 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.

[1106] The present invention is a system that allows a user to wear a visual device and acquire and display information about surrounding facilities in real time, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. The specific processing content of the program and concrete examples are explained below.

[1107] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of what is in the user's field of view in real time. This image is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[1108] The device then begins preprocessing the video data, which includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, to improve the clarity of the image and subsequent analysis.

[1109] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo.

[1110] The visual device is equipped with an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state by analyzing the user's voice, facial expressions, and biometric information (heart rate, skin galvanic response, etc.). For example, it can detect when the user is feeling stressed or curious.

[1111] The device sends a request to the server based on the facility information and emotion information. The request includes the name and category of the identified facility and the user's emotion information.

[1112] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from the database, including opening hours, ratings, special offers, etc. The server then considers the user's emotional information and selects the information that best suits the user's current emotional state and returns it to the terminal.

[1113] The device analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through their visual device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, highly rated menu items and special offers will be highlighted. If the user is feeling stressed, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information will be displayed.

[1114] Specific examples are given below.

[1115] Imagine a user is walking down the street and a cafe comes into view. The vision device's camera captures the image, and the device pre-processes the image. The AI ​​model identifies the name of the cafe as "Café Delight." The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotion and determines that the emotional state is positive, for example. The device sends the facility information and emotion information to the server, which then returns detailed information about "Café Delight" along with recommended menu items and special offers. Finally, the device displays this information on the vision device's display, allowing the user to obtain the most relevant information in real time.

[1116] In this way, the present invention is a system that allows users to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and provides optimal information based on their emotions, improving the user experience and providing more meaningful information.

[1117] The above is a specific description of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[1118] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1119] Step 1:

[1120] The user wears the vision device. The camera in the vision device captures images of the user's field of view in real time. This image data is temporarily stored in the vision device.

[1121] Step 2:

[1122] The device begins pre-processing the captured video data, which includes noise removal and resolution adjustment, making the video clearer and easier for AI to analyze.

[1123] Step 3:

[1124] After preprocessing, the device inputs the video data into an artificial intelligence model, which then analyzes the images and identifies the facility based on its exterior, signage, logo, and other features contained in the video.

[1125] Step 4:

[1126] To recognize the user's emotions, the emotion engine of the vision device analyzes voice, facial expressions, and biometric information (e.g., heart rate, galvanic skin response). The emotion engine identifies the user's current emotional state.

[1127] Step 5:

[1128] The terminal sends a request to the server based on the facility information and the user's emotion information. The request includes the facility name, category, and emotion information.

[1129] Step 6:

[1130] The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility (e.g., opening hours, ratings, special offers) from the database. The server also selects the most appropriate additional information based on the emotional information.

[1131] Step 7:

[1132] The server returns the acquired detailed information and selected additional information to the terminal as a response.

[1133] Step 8:

[1134] The device analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can perceive through their visual device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, highly rated menu items and special offers will be highlighted, and if the user is showing signs of stress, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information will be displayed.

[1135] Step 9:

[1136] The user can check the detailed information of the facility and additional emotional information displayed on the visual device and take the necessary action. For example, when information about the cafe "Café Delight" is displayed, the user can check the opening hours and special offers and decide whether to visit.

[1137] The above is a detailed description of the specific processing steps of the program and the operations at each step.

[1229] (Application example 2)

[1230] 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."

[1231] Conventional information provision systems using visual devices only allow users to visually obtain information about surrounding facilities, and have the problem of not being able to provide optimal information based on the user's current emotional state. Specifically, even if a user is feeling stressed, for example, they may not be provided with information about facilities where they can relax or special offers, which could result in a less meaningful shopping experience.

[1232] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1233] In this invention, the server includes means for selecting and returning optimal information taking into consideration the user's emotional information, means for preprocessing video data acquired by a camera attached to the visual device, and means for performing image analysis using an artificial intelligence model that identifies facilities based on the preprocessed video data. This allows the user to obtain recommended information based on their emotional state while obtaining information about surrounding facilities through the visual device in real time.

[1234] A "visual device" is a device equipped with a display and camera worn by the user, and has the function of capturing images within the user's field of vision and displaying the information.

[1235] A "camera" is an image capturing device attached to a visual device that captures images in the user's field of view in real time.

[1236] "Preprocessing" refers to processes such as removing noise from acquired video data and adjusting resolution to improve the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[1243] "Recommended information" refers to information on products, services, locations, etc. that are optimal for a user and are selected with consideration given to emotional information.

[1244] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[1245] The present invention is a system in which a user wears a visual device and acquires and displays information about surrounding facilities in real time, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. A specific embodiment of this system will be described.

[1246] A user wears a visual device such as smart glasses, and a camera attached to the visual device captures images of what the user sees in real time. The video data captured by the camera is temporarily stored in the visual device. The device then begins preprocessing the video data. Preprocessing includes noise reduction and resolution adjustment, which improves the clarity of the image and the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[1247] After preprocessing, the video data is input into an artificial intelligence model installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. This identification is achieved using pattern recognition technology based on features such as the facility's exterior, signage, and logo.

[1248] Meanwhile, the visual device is equipped with an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state by analyzing the user's voice, facial expressions, and biometric information (heart rate, skin galvanic response, etc.). For example, it can detect when the user is feeling stressed or curious.

[1249] Facility information and emotional information are sent from the device to the server as a request. The request includes the name and category of the identified facility, as well as the user's emotional information. The server analyzes the received request and retrieves detailed information about the facility from its database. This information includes opening hours, ratings, and special offers. The server then takes the emotional information into consideration and selects the information that best suits the user's current emotional state, which it then sends back to the device. For example, if the user's emotions are positive, the facility's highly rated menu items and special offers are highlighted. If the user is feeling stressed, suggestions for relaxation spots and coupon information are also displayed.

[1250] As a specific example of use, imagine a user is walking through a shopping mall and the camera captures a sign for "Bookstore A." TensorFlow Lite identifies "Bookstore A" and performs sentiment analysis on the audio data. If it determines the sentiment is "positive," it sends "Bookstore A" and "positive" to the server. Information returned from the server, such as "discount information for bestselling books," is displayed on the smart glasses, and the user can see a pop-up that says "20% off bestselling books."

[1251] The following hardware and software are used to realize this system.

[1252] Hardware: Smart glasses (with camera), user device (smartphone, etc.)

[1253] Software: OpenCV (preprocessing), TensorFlow Lite (image analysis), Amazon Comprehend (sentiment analysis)

[1254] An example of a prompt is as follows:

[1255] example:

[1256] As the user walks through a shopping mall, the camera captures a sign for "Bookstore A." "Bookstore A" is identified using TensorFlow Lite. Sentiment analysis is performed on the audio data, and the result is determined to be "positive." "Bookstore A" and "positive" are sent to the server. The server returns "discount information for best-selling books." A pop-up message saying "20% off best-selling books" appears on the smart glasses.

[1257] As described above, the present invention is a system that allows users to obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time and provides optimal information based on their emotions, thereby improving the user experience and providing more meaningful information.

[1258] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1259] Step 1:

[1260] The user wears a visual device. The camera of this visual device captures the image of the user's field of view in real time. The input is the image of the user's field of view, and the output is raw image data temporarily stored in the visual device. Specifically, the camera constantly follows the user's field of view and continuously captures the image.

[1261] Step 2:

[1262] The device performs preprocessing on the captured video data. This preprocessing includes noise removal and resolution adjustment. The input is the captured raw video data, and the output is clear video data with noise removed and resolution adjusted. Specifically, the OpenCV library is used to filter noise and optimize resolution.

[1263] Step 3:

[1264] The preprocessed video data is input into an artificial intelligence model (generative AI model) installed on the device. The AI ​​model performs image analysis and identifies facilities contained within the video. The input is the preprocessed video data, and the output is the name and category of the identified facility. Specifically, TensorFlow Lite is used to perform pattern recognition based on the facility's exterior, sign, and logo.

[1265] Step 4:

[1266] The device uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice, facial expression, and biometric information (such as heart rate and galvanic skin response). The input is the user's voice, facial expression, and biometric information, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state. Specifically, it collects and analyzes data from Amazon Comprehend and biometric sensors.

[1267] Step 5:

[1268] The device sends facility information and emotion information as a request to the server. The input is the name and category of the identified facility and the user's emotion information, and the output is the request data sent to the server. Specifically, the data is communicated to the server using a RESTful API.

[1269] Step 6:

[1270] The server analyzes the request data it receives. The server retrieves detailed information about the facility (such as opening hours, ratings, and special offers) from the database and selects the most appropriate recommendation information taking into account emotional information. The input is the request data sent to the server, and the output is detailed information about the facility and the most appropriate information for the user. Specifically, it extracts data from AWS RDS and filters the information as needed.

[1271] Step 7:

[1272] The server returns the selected optimal information to the terminal. The input is detailed information and recommended information about the selected facility, and the output is the response data sent to the terminal. Specifically, the data is sent to the terminal again using the RESTful API.

[1273] Step 8:

[1274] The terminal analyzes the information received from the server and displays it in a format that the user can understand through the visual device. The input is detailed facility information and recommended information returned from the server, and the output is the information displayed on the visual device's display. Specifically, the information is displayed visually using the Unity engine, etc.

[1275] Through the above processing steps, the user can obtain information about surrounding facilities in real time through the visual device, and can obtain optimal information based on their emotions.

[1276] 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.

[1277] 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.

[1278] 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.

[1279] 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.

[1280] 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.

[1281] 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.

[1282] 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).

[1283] 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.

[1284] 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."

[1285] 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.

[1286] 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).

[1287] 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.

[1288] 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.

[1289] 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.

[1290] 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.

[1291] 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.

[1292] 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.

[1293] 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.

[1294] 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.
