[0040] System Overview
[0041] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate personalized advertisements based on user interests and improve advertising effectiveness. This system operates between a server and user devices, collecting and analyzing user behavior data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements.
[0042] Program processing flow and operation
[0043] Data collection and analysis
[0044] server:
[0045] 1. When a user visits a website, the server obtains a user identifier using cookies, and also collects behavioral data such as browsing history, click history, and search keywords.
[0046] 2. The collected data is stored in a database.
[0047] 3. The server periodically analyzes the data in batches and uses machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify user interests. For example, if a user frequently reads articles related to "health and fitness," this interest category will be added to the user profile.
[0048] Ad generation
[0049] server:
[0050] 1. Based on the identified interest information, the server requests the ad text and images from the generating AI.
[0051] 2. For example, a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) generates advertising text like, "Special Offer on the Latest Fitness Equipment!" An image-generating AI like DALL-E generates images of fitness equipment.
[0052] 3. The generated ad text and images are stored in the ad content database.
[0053] Ad serving
[0054] server:
[0055] 1. When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie.
[0056] 2. The server reads the user's interest information from the user profile database and retrieves the relevant ad creative from the ad content database.
[0057] 3. The acquired ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser.
[0058] Measurement and optimization
[0059] server:
[0060] 1. The server monitors user responses to the delivered advertisements (e.g., click-through rate and duration of visit) and records the data in real time.
[0061] 2. The recorded data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The model's performance is evaluated, and retraining and tuning are carried out as necessary to further improve advertising effectiveness.
[0062] Specific examples
[0063] If User A reads many articles about pet supplies, their behavioral data is collected and analyzed. The server identifies User A's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. For example, a text ad saying "Specially Selected Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of adorable pet food are generated. These ad creatives are incorporated in real time into the web pages visited by User A, creating ads that catch User A's interest. When an ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as effectiveness measurement data. The generation AI model is optimized based on this data and reflected in future ad generation.
[0064] In this way, the present invention is a system that generates and delivers personalized advertisements that accurately capture the user's interests, maximizing the effectiveness of the advertisements.
[0065] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0066] Step 1:
[0067] server:
[0068] Every time a user visits a website, the server obtains a user identifier using a cookie, and also records the user's browsing history, click history, search keywords, and other behavioral data in real time. This data is then stored in a database.
[0069] Step 2:
[0070] server:
[0071] Periodically, collected data is batch processed and analyzed using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify user interest categories (e.g., pets, travel, technology) and update the user profile database.
[0072] Step 3:
[0073] server:
[0074] Based on the interest information, a request is sent to a generative AI to generate ad text and images. For example, GPT-3 is used to generate ad text such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!". Furthermore, an image-generating AI (e.g., DALL-E) is used to generate attractive images of pet food.
[0075] Step 4:
[0076] server:
[0077] The generated advertisement text and images are stored in an advertisement content database.
[0078] Step 5:
[0079] server:
[0080] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads interest information from a user profile database, and retrieves relevant ad creative for that user from an ad content database.
[0081] Step 6:
[0082] server:
[0083] Ad creatives are dynamically embedded into HTML templates and displayed in the user's browser.
[0084] Step 7:
[0085] server:
[0086] It monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration of visit, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[0087] Step 8:
[0088] server:
[0089] The performance of the generative AI model is evaluated based on the collected effectiveness measurement data, and if necessary, retraining and tuning are carried out to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[0090] Step 9:
[0091] User device:
[0092] When an ad is displayed, the user's browser sends user actions such as clicks and skips to the server, which collects this data as feedback and uses it for performance measurement and optimization.
[0093] This series of steps allows personalized advertisements to be generated and delivered to users, maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[0094] Example 1
[0095] 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."
[0096] Conventional advertising systems struggled to generate and deliver personalized ads that accurately reflected user interests, resulting in a tendency for advertising effectiveness to decline. Furthermore, they lacked the functionality to measure the effectiveness of delivered ads in real time and optimize and retrain the AI model, making it difficult to improve advertising accuracy. This could lead to dissatisfaction for both advertisers and users.
[0097] 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.
[0098] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting behavioral data such as user browsing history, click history, and search keywords, means for analyzing the collected behavioral data to identify user interests, means for using a generation AI to generate advertising text and images based on the interest information, means for recording the generated advertising text and images in a database, means for acquiring a user identifier each time the user visits a web page and delivering advertisements based on the user's interest information, and means for measuring the effectiveness of the delivered advertisements and collecting feedback data for optimizing the generation AI model. This enables the generation and delivery of highly accurate personalized advertisements that accurately reflect user interests and concerns, maximizing advertising effectiveness and improving user satisfaction.

[0110] "Optimization means" refers to techniques and methods for improving the performance of generative AI models based on feedback data.
[0111] A "database" refers to a system for systematically managing stored data and retrieving data as needed.
[0112] The present invention provides a system for generating personalized advertisements based on user interests and improving advertising effectiveness. This system operates mainly between a server and a user terminal, and is realized using the following specific hardware and software.
[0113] Data collection and analysis
[0114] server:
[0115] When a user accesses a website, the server obtains a user identifier using cookies. It also collects behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time. This data is initially stored in memory and periodically written to a database. Data analysis is performed using machine learning libraries such as Python's Scikit-learn library and TensorFlow. Based on the analysis results, the user's interest categories are identified and added to the user profile.
[0116] Ad generation
[0117] server:
[0118] Based on the identified user interest information, the server requests the generation AI to generate the text and images of the advertisement. The generation AI model uses a natural language processing algorithm (e.g., GPT-3) and an image generation algorithm (e.g., image generation AI). The server sends the following prompt to the generation AI:
[0119] Generate ad text with a "Fitness Equipment" theme. Include a short catchphrase to grab users' attention.
[0120] Example: Special deals on the latest fitness equipment!
[0121] The generated advertisement text and images are recorded in an advertisement content database.
[0122] Ad serving
[0123] server:
[0124] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user's identifier using a cookie. The server reads the user's interests from the user profile database and retrieves the relevant ad creative from the ad content database. The retrieved ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser.
[0125] Measurement and optimization
[0126] server:
[0127] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads and records click information and ad viewing time in real time. The recorded data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The server periodically uses this data to retrain the generative AI model and improve the accuracy of ad generation.
[0128] Specific examples
[0129] If User A reads many articles about pet supplies, that behavioral data is collected in real time. Based on this data, the server identifies User A's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. For example, a text ad saying "Specially Selected Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of cute pet food are generated. These ad creatives are incorporated in real time into the web pages visited by User A, creating ads that catch User A's interest. When an ad is clicked, the server records the click information and uses it as optimization data for the generation AI model. The next time the user visits, a more accurate ad is delivered, improving the effectiveness of the ad.
[0130] As described above, this system generates and delivers personalized advertisements based on user interests, maximizing advertising effectiveness and improving user satisfaction.
[0131] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0132] Step 1: Data collection
[0133] When a user accesses a website, the server obtains a user identifier using a cookie. Specifically, the server reads the cookie information included in the HTTP request and extracts the user identifier. The server then collects behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords. This data is temporarily stored in the server's memory and eventually written to a database.
[0134] Input: User access information (cookies, browsing history, click history, search keywords)
[0135] Output: Behavioral data record (database)
[0136] Step 2: Data analysis
[0137] The server periodically analyzes the collected behavioral data in batches. The server uses machine learning algorithms, such as Python's Scikit-learn library and TensorFlow, to identify user interest categories. This analysis allows the server to add interest categories based on the content the user frequently accesses.
[0138] Input: Behavioral data (database)
[0139] Output: Interest categories (user profile database)
[0140] Step 3: Request Ad Generation
[0141] The server sends a prompt to the AI based on the identified interests. For example, if the user is interested in "health and fitness," the server sends the following prompt to the AI:
[0142] Generate ad text for "Fitness Equipment." Include a short catchphrase to grab users' attention.
[0143] Example: Special deals on the latest fitness equipment!
[0144] The AI generator generates ad text based on this prompt, while the image generator algorithm simultaneously generates related images.
[0145] Input: Interest information (user profile database)
[0146] Output: Ad text and images (ad content database)
[0147] Step 4: Save your ad
[0148] The generated ad text and images are stored in an ad content database by the server, which does this by performing write operations to the database. Each ad is given a unique identifier and linked to user interest information.
[0149] Input: Ad text and image
[0150] Output: Record of advertising content (advertising content database)
[0151] Step 5: Serving Ads
[0152] Each time the user visits a new web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie and looks up the user's interests in a user profile database. The server then retrieves relevant advertisements from an advertising content database and dynamically inserts them into an HTML template that is sent to the browser, where the advertisements are displayed on the user's web page.
[0153] Input: User access information (cookies), interest information (user profile database), advertising content (advertising content database)
[0154] Output: A web page with dynamically generated ads
[0155] Step 6: Measure and optimize
[0156] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads. Specifically, it records the ad click-through rate and duration in real time. This data is stored in a database and used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The server uses this data to periodically retrain the generative AI model and improve the accuracy of ad generation.
[0157] Input: Ad response data (click-through rate, duration)
[0158] Output: Feedback data (database), optimized generative AI model
[0159] This is the flow of processing in the program for this system, which enables the generation and delivery of highly accurate personalized advertisements based on user interests.

[0161] 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."
[0162] Conventional ad delivery systems have difficulty generating personalized ads that accurately capture user interests, resulting in reduced advertising effectiveness. Additionally, it is difficult to measure the effectiveness of generated ads or optimize the AI model in real time, making it difficult to maximize the effectiveness of ads.
[0163] 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.

[0185] Ad serving
[0186] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie. The server reads the user's interest information from the user profile database and retrieves relevant advertising content from the advertising content database. The retrieved advertising content is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser. This allows the user to see personalized ads in real time.
[0187] Measurement and optimization
[0188] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads (e.g., click-through rate and dwell time) and records the data in real time. This collected data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. By evaluating the model's performance and re-training or tuning as necessary, the effectiveness of the ads can be further improved.
[0189] Specific examples of technology
[0190] For example, if a user reads many articles about "pet supplies," that behavioral data is collected and analyzed. The server identifies the user's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. The generation AI model generates ad text such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!", and the image generation AI generates images of cute pet food. These ad creatives are embedded in real time into the web pages the user visits. When an ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as effectiveness measurement data. The generation AI model is optimized based on this data and reflected in future ad generation.
[0191] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0192] 1. "Create an ad for the latest pet products."
[0193] 2. "Pet supplies images"
[0194] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0195] Step 1:

[0207] Data processing: Analyzing data using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques
[0208] Output: User interest categories are identified and stored in a profile database
[0209] Step 3:
[0210] Uses generative AI to generate ad text and images based on interest information.
[0211] Specific behavior:
[0212] The server sends the specified interest information as an input prompt to a generation AI (e.g., GPT-3 and DALL-E). The generation AI generates ad text such as "Special Offer on the Latest Fitness Equipment!" and a matching image. The generated ad content is stored in an ad content database.
[0213] Input: Interest information
[0214] Data processing: Send prompts to the generative AI to generate text and images
[0215] Output: The generated ad text and images are stored in the ad content database.
[0216] Step 4:
[0217] The generated advertisement is delivered to the user's display device.
[0218] Specific behavior:
[0219] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads interest information from the profile database, retrieves relevant advertising content from the advertising content database, dynamically embeds the retrieved advertisement into an HTML template, and sends it to the user's browser.
[0220] Input: User identifier, advertising content
[0221] Data processing: Dynamically embedding advertising content into HTML templates
[0222] Output: A personalized ad is displayed in the user's browser
[0223] Step 5:
[0224] Measure the effectiveness of delivered ads and collect feedback data to optimize generative AI models.
[0225] Specific behavior:

[0227] Input: User response data
[0228] Data processing: Collect and analyze reaction data, and retrain and adjust the model
[0229] Output: An optimized generative AI model
[0230] 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.
[0231] System Overview
[0232] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate and deliver personalized advertisements based on user behavioral and emotional data. This system operates between a server and user devices, collecting and analyzing user behavioral and emotional data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements. In addition, the effectiveness of the generated advertisements is collected as feedback, and the system is optimized.
[0233] Program processing flow and operation
[0234] Data collection and analysis
[0235] server:
[0236] 1. The server obtains a user identifier using cookies each time a user visits a website, and records the user's browsing history, click history, search keywords, and other behavioral data in real time. This data is then stored in a database.
[0237] 2. The server reads the user's facial expressions through the webcam on the web page the user is viewing, and analyzes the emotional data using the emotion engine. This emotional data is also stored in the database.
[0238] Ad generation
[0239] server:
[0240] 1. Periodically collected behavioral and emotional data is batch processed and analyzed using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify the user's interest categories and emotional state.
[0241] 2. Based on the identified interests and real-time emotional state, the system sends a request to a generative AI to generate ad text and images. For example, GPT-3 is used to generate ad text such as "Specialty Pet Food Sale!", and an image-generating AI such as DALL-E is used to generate attractive images of the pet food.
[0242] 3. The emotion engine generates ads with bright colors and positive words when the user is in a positive emotional state, and conversely, generates ads with calming tones and soothing words when the user is in a negative emotional state.
[0243] Ad serving
[0244] server:
[0245] 1. When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads the user's interests and emotional state from the user profile database, and retrieves the relevant ad creative for that user from the ad content database.
[0246] 2. The acquired ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser.
[0247] Measurement and optimization
[0248] server:
[0249] 1. The server monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, length of stay, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[0250] 2. Based on the recorded data, evaluate the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine, and retrain or tune it as needed to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[0251] Specific examples
[0252] For example, suppose User B reads many articles about pet supplies. While User B is browsing a web page, the emotion engine detects that the user is relaxed from their facial expression. Based on this data, the server generates ad text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" along with an image of pet food. The generated ad is created using bright colors and positive wording to match User B's relaxed state. This ad is then embedded in real time into the web pages visited by User B, attracting User B's interest. When the ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as feedback data. Based on this data, the generative AI model and emotion engine are optimized and reflected in future ad generation.
[0253] As described above, the present invention is a system that generates and delivers personalized advertisements that accurately capture the user's interests and real-time emotional state, thereby maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[0254] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0255] Step 1:
[0256] server:
[0257] When a user visits a website, the server uses cookies to obtain a user identifier, and also obtains behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time, which are then stored in a database.
[0258] Step 2:
[0259] User device:
[0260] While a user is browsing a website, their facial expressions are captured by a webcam, and this image data is instantly sent to a server.
[0261] Step 3:
[0262] server:
[0263] Using the transmitted image data, the emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions to identify their real-time emotional state (e.g., happy, sad, surprised), which is also recorded in a database.
[0264] Step 4:
[0265] server:
[0266] It periodically analyzes behavioral and emotional data through batch processing, and uses machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify users' interest categories and emotional states, thereby revealing which categories users are interested in.
[0267] Step 5:
[0268] server:
[0269] Based on the identified interests and real-time emotional state, the system requests a generative AI (e.g., GPT-3, DALL-E) to generate ad text and images. For example, if the emotion engine determines that the user is relaxed, the generative AI will generate ad text that matches the relaxed state, such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!". DALL-E will then generate a bright, relaxing image of the pet food.
[0270] Step 6:
[0271] server:
[0272] The generated advertisement text and images are stored in an advertisement content database.
[0273] Step 7:
[0274] server:
[0275] Each time a user visits a web page, the system retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads their interests and emotional state from the user profile database, and retrieves ad creative from the ad content database based on this information.
[0276] Step 8:
[0277] server:
[0278] The resulting ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser, with the tone and color of the ad adjusted based on the user's emotional state.
[0279] Step 9:
[0280] server:
[0281] It monitors user responses to delivered ads (whether the ad was clicked or skipped, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[0282] Step 10:
[0283] server:
[0284] Based on the collected effectiveness measurement data, the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine is evaluated, and if necessary, retraining and tuning are carried out to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[0285] Step 11:
[0286] User device:
[0287] When an ad is displayed, the user's browser sends actions such as clicks or skips to the server, and this feedback data is used in the measurement and optimization process.
[0288] This series of steps allows for the generation and delivery of personalized ads that are optimized for the user's interests and emotional state, maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[0289] Example 2
[0290] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0291] Conventional personalized advertising systems generate ads based solely on user behavioral data and lack the ability to generate ads that take into account the user's real-time emotional state. This makes it difficult to optimize ads based on the user's emotional state and maximize advertising effectiveness. Furthermore, the AI model for generating ads is not adequately optimized based on the effectiveness measurement data of the generated ads, making it difficult to expect continuous improvement in advertising effectiveness.
[0292] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting behavioral data such as a user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords, means for analyzing the collected behavioral data to identify the user's interests, means for analyzing the collected facial expression data to identify the user's emotional state, means for using a generation AI to generate advertisement text and images based on the interest information and emotional state, means for delivering the generated advertisement to the user's display terminal, and means for measuring the effectiveness of the delivered advertisement and collecting feedback data for optimizing the generation AI model. This makes it possible to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are optimized in real time by integrating the user's behavioral data and emotional data.
[0293] "User browsing history" refers to historical data about the pages a user visits on a website.

[0304] "Feedback data" is data that records user responses to delivered advertisements and is used to optimize generative AI models.
[0305] "Delivery" refers to displaying the generated advertisement on the user's display device.
[0306] "Optimizing generative AI models" refers to making adjustments and improvements to improve the performance of generative AI based on collected feedback data.
[0307] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0308] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate and deliver personalized advertisements based on user behavioral and emotional data. This system operates primarily between a server and a user's device and is designed to provide a rich, personalized advertising experience.
[0309] Data collection and analysis
[0310] server:
[0311] 1. The server obtains a user identifier using a cookie each time a user visits the website. The user identifier is generated as a unique ID and stored in a database.
[0312] 2. The server then records users' browsing history, click history, search keywords, and other behavioral data in real time, which is then stored in a database such as MongoDB or MySQL along with a timestamp.
[0313] 3. The server reads the user's facial expressions through the camera installed on the user's device and analyzes the emotional data using an emotion engine (for example, Microsoft Azure's Emotion API). The resulting emotion score (for example, joy, sadness, surprise, etc.) is also stored in a database.
[0314] Ad generation
[0315] server:
[0316] 1. The server processes the collected behavioral and emotional data in batches, analyzes the data using a batch processing framework such as Apache Spark, and applies a machine learning model (e.g., a clustering algorithm using scikit-learn) to classify the user's interest categories.
[0317] 2. Send a request to a generative AI (e.g., GPT-3 and DALL-E using OpenAI APIs) to generate ad text and images based on the identified interests and real-time emotional state. Create a prompt like the following: "Generate ad copy with a light tone that corresponds to a relaxed emotional state for users interested in pet products."
[0318] 3. The emotion engine is used to appropriately adjust the tone of the generated ad: if the emotional state is positive, the ad content will be generated with bright images and positive language.
[0319] Ad serving
[0320] server:
[0321] 1. Every time a user visits a web page, the cookie information is analyzed to obtain the user identifier again, and an SQL query is issued to obtain the necessary interest information and emotional state from the user profile database.
[0322] 2. The retrieved ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser using a web server framework such as Node.js. A template engine (e.g., EJS or Handlebars) is used to embed ad data into HTML.
[0323] Measurement and optimization
[0324] server:
[0325] 1. User responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration, etc.) are monitored in real time and the data is recorded. This is done using the Google Analytics API, which collects user behavior data and stores it in a database.
[0326] 2. Evaluate the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine based on the recorded data. Use Python scripts to calculate the precision and recall of the model, and retrain or tune it as needed to improve the overall advertising effectiveness of the system.
[0327] Specific examples
[0328] For example, if User B reads many articles about pet supplies, the server will use the emotion engine to detect from User B's facial expression that he or she is relaxed while browsing the webpage. Based on this data, the server generates advertising text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of pet food. The generated advertisement is created using bright colors and positive wording to match User B's relaxed state. This advertisement is then embedded in real time into the webpages visited by User B, attracting User B's interest. When the advertisement is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as feedback data. Based on this data, the generative AI model and emotion engine are optimized and reflected in future advertisement generation.
[0329] This system makes it possible to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are optimized in real time by integrating user behavioral and emotional data.
[0330] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0331] Program processing flow
[0332] Step 1:
[0333] The server uses cookies to obtain a user identifier each time a user visits a website. It analyzes the information in the cookie (input) and extracts the user identifier (output). It stores this identifier in a database. Specifically, when an HTTP request is received, it reads the value of the HTTP cookie and records it in the database.
[0334] Step 2:
[0335] The server records user behavioral data such as browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time. First, it monitors user behavior (input), activates an event logger accordingly, and saves the behavioral data (output) in a database. Specifically, it captures user events that occur within a web page (such as clicks and page transitions) and stores that information in MongoDB or MySQL.
[0336] Step 3:
[0337] The server reads the user's facial expression through the camera installed on the user's device and analyzes the emotional data using the emotion engine. The server obtains the user's facial expression image (input), analyzes it, and generates an emotion score (output). Specifically, it sends the image data to the Emotion API in real time and stores the results in a database.
[0338] Step 4:
[0339] The server processes the collected behavioral and emotional data in batches and analyzes the data. The behavioral and emotional data (input) is processed using a batch processing framework such as Apache Spark to identify the user's interest categories (output). Specifically, the server periodically runs a batch job and clusters the data using a machine learning model.
[0340] Step 5:
[0341] The server sends a request to the generation AI to generate ad text and images based on the identified interest information and real-time emotional state. The interest information and emotional state (input) are processed, and ad creative (output) is obtained by sending a prompt to the generation AI. Specifically, the server sends a prompt to the generation AI, such as "Please generate ad copy with a bright tone that corresponds to a relaxed emotional state, targeted at users interested in pet products."
[0342] Step 6:
[0343] The server uses the emotion engine to appropriately adjust the tone of the generated advertisement. It receives the ad creative (input) and modifies the tone depending on the emotional state. Specifically, if the emotional state is positive, it generates an advertisement with bright images and positive wording.
[0344] Step 7:
[0345] The server analyzes the cookie information again each time the user visits a web page to obtain the user identifier. It receives the HTTP request (input) when the web page is visited, analyzes the cookie information, and extracts the user identifier (output). Specifically, it reads the cookie value included in the HTTP request and uses that information to retrieve it from the user profile database.
[0346] Step 8:
[0347] The server dynamically embeds the acquired ad creative into an HTML template and displays it in the user's browser. By embedding the ad creative (input) into the HTML template, an ad-embedded page (output) is generated. Specifically, it uses a template engine (EJS or Handlebars) to insert ad data into the HTML code and sends the generated HTML to the client.
[0348] Step 9:
[0349] The server monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration, etc.) in real time and records the data. It analyzes user behavior data (input) and generates response data (output). Specifically, it uses the Google Analytics API to monitor user activity and stores that data in a database.
[0350] Step 10:
[0351] The server evaluates the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine based on the recorded data. It analyzes the reaction data (input) and obtains the model evaluation results (output). Specifically, it uses a Python script to calculate the precision and recall of the model and retrain or tune the generative AI model and emotion engine as needed.
[0352] (Application example 2)
[0353] 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."
[0354] Conventional advertising systems typically generate personalized ads based on user behavior data, but they are unable to reflect the user's real-time emotional state. As a result, ads that do not match the user's emotions are sometimes displayed, making effective ad delivery difficult. Furthermore, there was no established method for collecting real-time user emotional data using mobile devices such as smart glasses and reflecting that data in ad generation. Therefore, a new system was needed to maximize the user experience and improve advertising effectiveness.
[0355] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting behavioral data such as a user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords; means for analyzing the collected behavioral data to identify the user's interests; means for using a generation AI to generate advertising text and images based on the interest information and real-time emotional state; means for reading the user's facial expressions from a mobile device such as smart glasses and analyzing the emotional data; means for delivering the generated advertisement to the user's display device; and means for measuring the effectiveness of the delivered advertisement and collecting feedback data for optimizing the generation AI model. This makes it possible to combine the user's behavioral data and real-time emotional data to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are best suited to the user's situation.

[0370] System Overview
[0371] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate and deliver personalized advertisements based on user behavioral and emotional data. This system operates between a server and user devices, collecting and analyzing user behavioral data and real-time emotional data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements. In addition, the effectiveness of the generated advertisements is collected as feedback, and the system is optimized.
[0372] Hardware and Software Configuration
[0373] The system mainly uses the following hardware and software:
[0374] Server: Hosts and processes databases, analytics engines, and ad generation AI.
[0375] Smart glasses: Captures the user's facial expressions and gaze and transmits the emotional data to a server.
[0376] Emotion Recognition Model: Recognizing emotions from facial expressions using Keras.
[0377] Face detector: Detects the user's face using dlib.
[0378] Generative AI: Generate ad text and images using GPT-3 and DALL-E.
[0379] User device: the device on which the generated advertisement is displayed (e.g. smartphone, PC, smart glasses).
[0380] Data collection and analysis
[0381] The servers collect the websites and pages you visit on the Internet (browsing history), the links and buttons you click (click history), and the words and phrases you enter into search engines (search keywords). This behavioral data is analyzed to identify your interests.
[0382] The smart glasses use built-in cameras and sensors to capture the user's facial expressions and send the data to a server, which then uses an emotion recognition model to analyze the user's emotional state in real time.
[0383] Ad generation
[0384] The server uses generative AI to generate personalized ad text and images based on the collected behavioral and emotional data. For example, if a user is interested in pet supplies and has a relaxed expression, the server generates ad text saying "Specialty pet food discount sale!" and an attractive image of pet food.
[0385] Ad serving
[0386] The generated ads are then delivered to the user's display device, such as the smart glasses display or smartphone screen, and personalized ads are presented in real time based on the user's gaze and emotional state.
[0387] Measurement and optimization
[0388] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads and collects the data. The collected data is used to evaluate the performance of the generative AI model, and retraining and tuning are performed as necessary. This allows for optimization to improve the effectiveness of the ads.
[0389] Specific examples
[0390] For example, when a user visits a pet shop, the smart glasses identify the user's gaze. If the user shows interest in pet food and has a relaxed expression, the server uses generative AI to generate advertising text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" along with an image of attractive pet food. This advertisement is displayed in real time on the smart glasses' display, hoping to attract the user's attention.
[0391] Example prompt for a generative AI model:
[0392] User behavior data:
[0393] User ID: user123
[0394] Interests: Pet supplies
[0395] Recent activity: Reading a lot of articles about pet supplies
[0396] Real-time sentiment data:
[0397] Emotion: Relaxed
[0398] Generated ad text:
[0399] Text: Special discount sale on select pet foods!
[0400] Color: Bright
[0401] In this way, ads are dynamically generated that are tailored to the user's circumstances and interests, providing an optimal advertising experience.
[0402] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0403] Step 1:
[0404] When a user visits a website on the Internet, the server obtains a user identifier using cookies. The input is the website the user visits and their activities within it, and the output is the user identifier and behavioral data. This allows the user's browsing history, click history, search keywords, etc. to be collected and stored in a database.
[0405] Step 2:
[0406] When a user wears the smart glasses, the camera and sensors in the smart glasses capture the user's facial expressions. The input is the user's real-time facial expression data, and the output is the captured facial image, which is sent to the server.
[0407] Step 3:
[0408] The server runs an emotion recognition model using the received facial expression data. The input is the captured facial expression image, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state. The emotion recognition model (Keras model) analyzes this facial expression data and identifies the user's real-time emotional state.
[0409] Step 4:
[0410] The server sends an ad generation request to the generative AI based on the collected behavioral and emotional data. The input is user interest data and real-time emotional data, and the output is ad text and images. The generative AI (GPT-3 and DALL-E) generates personalized ads based on the user's interests and emotions.
[0411] Step 5:
[0412] The generated advertisement is dynamically embedded into an HTML template by the server. The input is the advertisement text and images, and the output is an advertisement creative appropriate for the user's display device. This allows the advertisement to be displayed where the user sees it through smart glasses or a smartphone.
[0413] Step 6:
[0414] The server monitors how users respond to the displayed ads. The input is user reaction data to the ads (number of clicks, time spent, etc.), and the output is effectiveness measurement data. This allows the performance of the ads to be evaluated in real time.
[0415] Step 7:
[0416] The server retrains or tunes the generative AI model based on the collected effectiveness measurement data. The input is the advertising effectiveness measurement data, and the output is an optimized generative AI model.

[0433] System Overview
[0434] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate personalized advertisements based on user interests and improve advertising effectiveness. This system operates between a server and user devices, collecting and analyzing user behavior data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements.
[0435] Program processing flow and operation
[0436] Data collection and analysis
[0437] server:
[0438] 1. When a user visits a website, the server obtains a user identifier using cookies, and also collects behavioral data such as browsing history, click history, and search keywords.
[0439] 2. The collected data is stored in a database.
[0440] 3. The server periodically analyzes the data in batches and uses machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify user interests. For example, if a user frequently reads articles related to "health and fitness," this interest category will be added to the user profile.
[0441] Ad generation
[0442] server:
[0443] 1. Based on the identified interest information, the server requests the ad text and images from the generating AI.
[0444] 2. For example, a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) generates advertising text like, "Special Offer on the Latest Fitness Equipment!" An image-generating AI like DALL-E generates images of fitness equipment.
[0445] 3. The generated ad text and images are stored in the ad content database.
[0446] Ad serving
[0447] server:
[0448] 1. When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie.
[0449] 2. The server reads the user's interest information from the user profile database and retrieves the relevant ad creative from the ad content database.
[0450] 3. The acquired ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser.
[0451] Measurement and optimization
[0452] server:
[0453] 1. The server monitors user responses to the delivered advertisements (e.g., click-through rate and duration of visit) and records the data in real time.
[0454] 2. The recorded data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The model's performance is evaluated, and retraining and tuning are carried out as necessary to further improve advertising effectiveness.
[0455] Specific examples
[0456] If User A reads many articles about pet supplies, their behavioral data is collected and analyzed. The server identifies User A's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. For example, a text ad saying "Specially Selected Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of adorable pet food are generated. These ad creatives are incorporated in real time into the web pages visited by User A, creating ads that catch User A's interest. When an ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as effectiveness measurement data. The generation AI model is optimized based on this data and reflected in future ad generation.
[0457] In this way, the present invention is a system that generates and delivers personalized advertisements that accurately capture the user's interests, maximizing the effectiveness of the advertisements.
[0458] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0459] Step 1:
[0460] server:
[0461] Every time a user visits a website, the server obtains a user identifier using a cookie, and also records the user's browsing history, click history, search keywords, and other behavioral data in real time. This data is then stored in a database.
[0462] Step 2:
[0463] server:
[0464] Periodically, collected data is batch processed and analyzed using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify user interest categories (e.g., pets, travel, technology) and update the user profile database.
[0465] Step 3:
[0466] server:
[0467] Based on the interest information, a request is sent to a generative AI to generate ad text and images. For example, GPT-3 is used to generate ad text such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!". Furthermore, an image-generating AI (e.g., DALL-E) is used to generate attractive images of pet food.
[0468] Step 4:
[0469] server:
[0470] The generated advertisement text and images are stored in an advertisement content database.
[0471] Step 5:
[0472] server:
[0473] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads interest information from a user profile database, and retrieves relevant ad creative for that user from an ad content database.
[0474] Step 6:
[0475] server:
[0476] Ad creatives are dynamically embedded into HTML templates and displayed in the user's browser.
[0477] Step 7:
[0478] server:
[0479] It monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration of visit, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[0480] Step 8:
[0481] server:
[0482] The performance of the generative AI model is evaluated based on the collected effectiveness measurement data, and if necessary, retraining and tuning are carried out to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[0483] Step 9:
[0484] User device:
[0485] When an ad is displayed, the user's browser sends user actions such as clicks and skips to the server, which collects this data as feedback and uses it for performance measurement and optimization.
[0486] This series of steps allows personalized advertisements to be generated and delivered to users, maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[0487] Example 1
[0488] 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."
[0489] Conventional advertising systems struggled to generate and deliver personalized ads that accurately reflected user interests, resulting in a tendency for advertising effectiveness to decline. Furthermore, they lacked the functionality to measure the effectiveness of delivered ads in real time and optimize and retrain the AI model, making it difficult to improve advertising accuracy. This could lead to dissatisfaction for both advertisers and users.
[0490] 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.
[0491] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting behavioral data such as user browsing history, click history, and search keywords, means for analyzing the collected behavioral data to identify user interests, means for using a generation AI to generate advertising text and images based on the interest information, means for recording the generated advertising text and images in a database, means for acquiring a user identifier each time the user visits a web page and delivering advertisements based on the user's interest information, and means for measuring the effectiveness of the delivered advertisements and collecting feedback data for optimizing the generation AI model. This enables the generation and delivery of highly accurate personalized advertisements that accurately reflect user interests and concerns, maximizing advertising effectiveness and improving user satisfaction.

[0505] The present invention provides a system for generating personalized advertisements based on user interests and improving advertising effectiveness. This system operates mainly between a server and a user terminal, and is realized using the following specific hardware and software.
[0506] Data collection and analysis
[0507] server:
[0508] When a user accesses a website, the server obtains a user identifier using cookies. It also collects behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time. This data is initially stored in memory and periodically written to a database. Data analysis is performed using machine learning libraries such as Python's Scikit-learn library and TensorFlow. Based on the analysis results, the user's interest categories are identified and added to the user profile.
[0509] Ad generation
[0510] server:
[0511] Based on the identified user interest information, the server requests the generation AI to generate the text and images of the advertisement. The generation AI model uses a natural language processing algorithm (e.g., GPT-3) and an image generation algorithm (e.g., image generation AI). The server sends the following prompt to the generation AI:
[0512] Generate ad text with a "Fitness Equipment" theme. Include a short catchphrase to grab users' attention.
[0513] Example: Special deals on the latest fitness equipment!
[0514] The generated advertisement text and images are recorded in an advertisement content database.
[0515] Ad serving
[0516] server:
[0517] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user's identifier using a cookie. The server reads the user's interests from the user profile database and retrieves the relevant ad creative from the ad content database. The retrieved ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser.
[0518] Measurement and optimization
[0519] server:
[0520] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads and records click information and ad viewing time in real time. The recorded data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The server periodically uses this data to retrain the generative AI model and improve the accuracy of ad generation.
[0521] Specific examples
[0522] If User A reads many articles about pet supplies, that behavioral data is collected in real time. Based on this data, the server identifies User A's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. For example, a text ad saying "Specially Selected Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of cute pet food are generated. These ad creatives are incorporated in real time into the web pages visited by User A, creating ads that catch User A's interest. When an ad is clicked, the server records the click information and uses it as optimization data for the generation AI model. The next time the user visits, a more accurate ad is delivered, improving the effectiveness of the ad.
[0523] As described above, this system generates and delivers personalized advertisements based on user interests, maximizing advertising effectiveness and improving user satisfaction.
[0524] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0525] Step 1: Data collection
[0526] When a user accesses a website, the server obtains a user identifier using a cookie. Specifically, the server reads the cookie information included in the HTTP request and extracts the user identifier. The server then collects behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords. This data is temporarily stored in the server's memory and eventually written to a database.
[0527] Input: User access information (cookies, browsing history, click history, search keywords)
[0528] Output: Behavioral data record (database)
[0529] Step 2: Data analysis
[0530] The server periodically analyzes the collected behavioral data in batches. The server uses machine learning algorithms, such as Python's Scikit-learn library and TensorFlow, to identify user interest categories. This analysis allows the server to add interest categories based on the content the user frequently accesses.
[0531] Input: Behavioral data (database)
[0532] Output: Interest categories (user profile database)
[0533] Step 3: Request Ad Generation
[0534] The server sends a prompt to the AI based on the identified interests. For example, if the user is interested in "health and fitness," the server sends the following prompt to the AI:
[0535] Generate ad text for "Fitness Equipment." Include a short catchphrase to grab users' attention.
[0536] Example: Special deals on the latest fitness equipment!
[0537] The AI generator generates ad text based on this prompt, while the image generator algorithm simultaneously generates related images.
[0538] Input: Interest information (user profile database)
[0539] Output: Ad text and images (ad content database)
[0540] Step 4: Save your ad
[0541] The generated ad text and images are stored in an ad content database by the server, which does this by performing write operations to the database. Each ad is given a unique identifier and linked to user interest information.
[0542] Input: Ad text and image
[0543] Output: Record of advertising content (advertising content database)
[0544] Step 5: Serving Ads
[0545] Each time the user visits a new web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie and looks up the user's interests in a user profile database. The server then retrieves relevant advertisements from an advertising content database and dynamically inserts them into an HTML template that is sent to the browser, where the advertisements are displayed on the user's web page.
[0546] Input: User access information (cookies), interest information (user profile database), advertising content (advertising content database)
[0547] Output: A web page with dynamically generated ads
[0548] Step 6: Measure and optimize
[0549] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads. Specifically, it records the ad click-through rate and duration in real time. This data is stored in a database and used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The server uses this data to periodically retrain the generative AI model and improve the accuracy of ad generation.
[0550] Input: Ad response data (click-through rate, duration)
[0551] Output: Feedback data (database), optimized generative AI model
[0552] This is the flow of processing in the program for this system, which enables the generation and delivery of highly accurate personalized advertisements based on user interests.

The system operates between a server and user terminals, collecting and analyzing user behavior data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements. Specifically, it includes the following means and processes:
[0574] Data collection and analysis
[0575] The server obtains a user identifier using cookies when a user visits a website. It also collects behavioral data, such as browsing history, click history, and search keywords. This behavioral data is stored in a database, and the server periodically analyzes the data in batches to identify user interests using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques. For example, if a user frequently reads articles related to "health and fitness," this interest category will be added to the user profile.
[0576] Ad generation
[0577] The server requests ad text and images from the generation AI based on the identified interest information. For example, the generative AI model generates ad text such as "Special Offer on the Latest Fitness Equipment!", and the image generation AI generates images of fitness equipment. The generated ad text and images are stored in the ad content database.
[0578] Ad serving
[0579] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie. The server reads the user's interest information from the user profile database and retrieves relevant advertising content from the advertising content database. The retrieved advertising content is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser. This allows the user to see personalized ads in real time.
[0580] Measurement and optimization
[0581] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads (e.g., click-through rate and dwell time) and records the data in real time. This collected data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. By evaluating the model's performance and re-training or tuning as necessary, the effectiveness of the ads can be further improved.
[0582] Specific examples of technology
[0583] For example, if a user reads many articles about "pet supplies," that behavioral data is collected and analyzed. The server identifies the user's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. The generation AI model generates ad text such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!", and the image generation AI generates images of cute pet food. These ad creatives are embedded in real time into the web pages the user visits. When an ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as effectiveness measurement data. The generation AI model is optimized based on this data and reflected in future ad generation.

[0637] server:
[0638] 1. When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads the user's interests and emotional state from the user profile database, and retrieves the relevant ad creative for that user from the ad content database.
[0639] 2. The acquired ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser.
[0640] Measurement and optimization
[0641] server:
[0642] 1. The server monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, length of stay, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[0643] 2. Based on the recorded data, evaluate the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine, and retrain or tune it as needed to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[0644] Specific examples
[0645] For example, suppose User B reads many articles about pet supplies. While User B is browsing a web page, the emotion engine detects that the user is relaxed from their facial expression. Based on this data, the server generates ad text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" along with an image of pet food. The generated ad is created using bright colors and positive wording to match User B's relaxed state. This ad is then embedded in real time into the web pages visited by User B, attracting User B's interest. When the ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as feedback data. Based on this data, the generative AI model and emotion engine are optimized and reflected in future ad generation.
[0646] As described above, the present invention is a system that generates and delivers personalized advertisements that accurately capture the user's interests and real-time emotional state, thereby maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[0647] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0648] Step 1:
[0649] server:
[0650] When a user visits a website, the server uses cookies to obtain a user identifier, and also obtains behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time, which are then stored in a database.
[0651] Step 2:
[0652] User device:
[0653] While a user is browsing a website, their facial expressions are captured by a webcam, and this image data is instantly sent to a server.
[0654] Step 3:
[0655] server:
[0656] Using the transmitted image data, the emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions to identify their real-time emotional state (e.g., happy, sad, surprised), which is also recorded in a database.
[0657] Step 4:
[0658] server:
[0659] It periodically analyzes behavioral and emotional data through batch processing, and uses machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify users' interest categories and emotional states, thereby revealing which categories users are interested in.
[0660] Step 5:
[0661] server:
[0662] Based on the identified interests and real-time emotional state, the system requests a generative AI (e.g., GPT-3, DALL-E) to generate ad text and images. For example, if the emotion engine determines that the user is relaxed, the generative AI will generate ad text that matches the relaxed state, such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!". DALL-E will then generate a bright, relaxing image of the pet food.
[0663] Step 6:
[0664] server:
[0665] The generated advertisement text and images are stored in an advertisement content database.
[0666] Step 7:
[0667] server:
[0668] Each time a user visits a web page, the system retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads their interests and emotional state from the user profile database, and retrieves ad creative from the ad content database based on this information.
[0669] Step 8:
[0670] server:
[0671] The resulting ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser, with the tone and color of the ad adjusted based on the user's emotional state.
[0672] Step 9:
[0673] server:
[0674] It monitors user responses to delivered ads (whether the ad was clicked or skipped, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[0675] Step 10:
[0676] server:
[0677] Based on the collected effectiveness measurement data, the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine is evaluated, and if necessary, retraining and tuning are carried out to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[0678] Step 11:
[0679] User device:
[0680] When an ad is displayed, the user's browser sends actions such as clicks or skips to the server, and this feedback data is used in the measurement and optimization process.
[0681] This series of steps allows for the generation and delivery of personalized ads that are optimized for the user's interests and emotional state, maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[0682] Example 2
[0683] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0684] Conventional personalized advertising systems generate ads based solely on user behavioral data and lack the ability to generate ads that take into account the user's real-time emotional state. This makes it difficult to optimize ads based on the user's emotional state and maximize advertising effectiveness. Furthermore, the AI model for generating ads is not adequately optimized based on the effectiveness measurement data of the generated ads, making it difficult to expect continuous improvement in advertising effectiveness.
[0685] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting behavioral data such as a user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords, means for analyzing the collected behavioral data to identify the user's interests, means for analyzing the collected facial expression data to identify the user's emotional state, means for using a generation AI to generate advertisement text and images based on the interest information and emotional state, means for delivering the generated advertisement to the user's display terminal, and means for measuring the effectiveness of the delivered advertisement and collecting feedback data for optimizing the generation AI model. This makes it possible to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are optimized in real time by integrating the user's behavioral data and emotional data.

[0700] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0701] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate and deliver personalized advertisements based on user behavioral and emotional data. This system operates primarily between a server and a user's device and is designed to provide a rich, personalized advertising experience.
[0702] Data collection and analysis
[0703] server:
[0704] 1. The server obtains a user identifier using a cookie each time a user visits the website. The user identifier is generated as a unique ID and stored in a database.
[0705] 2. The server then records users' browsing history, click history, search keywords, and other behavioral data in real time, which is then stored in a database such as MongoDB or MySQL along with a timestamp.
[0706] 3. The server reads the user's facial expressions through the camera installed on the user's device and analyzes the emotional data using an emotion engine (for example, Microsoft Azure's Emotion API). The resulting emotion score (for example, joy, sadness, surprise, etc.) is also stored in a database.
[0707] Ad generation
[0708] server:
[0709] 1. The server processes the collected behavioral and emotional data in batches, analyzes the data using a batch processing framework such as Apache Spark, and applies a machine learning model (e.g., a clustering algorithm using scikit-learn) to classify the user's interest categories.
[0710] 2. Send a request to a generative AI (e.g., GPT-3 and DALL-E using OpenAI APIs) to generate ad text and images based on the identified interests and real-time emotional state. Create a prompt like the following: "Generate ad copy with a light tone that corresponds to a relaxed emotional state for users interested in pet products."
[0711] 3. The emotion engine is used to appropriately adjust the tone of the generated ad: if the emotional state is positive, the ad content will be generated with bright images and positive language.
[0712] Ad serving
[0713] server:
[0714] 1. Every time a user visits a web page, the cookie information is analyzed to obtain the user identifier again, and an SQL query is issued to obtain the necessary interest information and emotional state from the user profile database.
[0715] 2. The retrieved ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser using a web server framework such as Node.js. A template engine (e.g., EJS or Handlebars) is used to embed ad data into HTML.
[0716] Measurement and optimization
[0717] server:
[0718] 1. User responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration, etc.) are monitored in real time and the data is recorded. This is done using the Google Analytics API, which collects user behavior data and stores it in a database.
[0719] 2. Evaluate the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine based on the recorded data. Use Python scripts to calculate the precision and recall of the model, and retrain or tune it as needed to improve the overall advertising effectiveness of the system.
[0720] Specific examples
[0721] For example, if User B reads many articles about pet supplies, the server will use the emotion engine to detect from User B's facial expression that he or she is relaxed while browsing the webpage. Based on this data, the server generates advertising text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of pet food. The generated advertisement is created using bright colors and positive wording to match User B's relaxed state. This advertisement is then embedded in real time into the webpages visited by User B, attracting User B's interest. When the advertisement is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as feedback data. Based on this data, the generative AI model and emotion engine are optimized and reflected in future advertisement generation.
[0722] This system makes it possible to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are optimized in real time by integrating user behavioral and emotional data.
[0723] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0724] Program processing flow
[0725] Step 1:
[0726] The server uses cookies to obtain a user identifier each time a user visits a website. It analyzes the information in the cookie (input) and extracts the user identifier (output). It stores this identifier in a database. Specifically, when an HTTP request is received, it reads the value of the HTTP cookie and records it in the database.
[0727] Step 2:
[0728] The server records user behavioral data such as browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time. First, it monitors user behavior (input), activates an event logger accordingly, and saves the behavioral data (output) in a database. Specifically, it captures user events that occur within a web page (such as clicks and page transitions) and stores that information in MongoDB or MySQL.
[0729] Step 3:
[0730] The server reads the user's facial expression through the camera installed on the user's device and analyzes the emotional data using the emotion engine. The server obtains the user's facial expression image (input), analyzes it, and generates an emotion score (output). Specifically, it sends the image data to the Emotion API in real time and stores the results in a database.
[0731] Step 4:
[0732] The server processes the collected behavioral and emotional data in batches and analyzes the data. The behavioral and emotional data (input) is processed using a batch processing framework such as Apache Spark to identify the user's interest categories (output). Specifically, the server periodically runs a batch job and clusters the data using a machine learning model.
[0733] Step 5:
[0734] The server sends a request to the generation AI to generate ad text and images based on the identified interest information and real-time emotional state. The interest information and emotional state (input) are processed, and ad creative (output) is obtained by sending a prompt to the generation AI. Specifically, the server sends a prompt to the generation AI, such as "Please generate ad copy with a bright tone that corresponds to a relaxed emotional state, targeted at users interested in pet products."
[0735] Step 6:
[0736] The server uses the emotion engine to appropriately adjust the tone of the generated advertisement. It receives the ad creative (input) and modifies the tone depending on the emotional state. Specifically, if the emotional state is positive, it generates an advertisement with bright images and positive wording.
[0737] Step 7:
[0738] The server analyzes the cookie information again each time the user visits a web page to obtain the user identifier. It receives the HTTP request (input) when the web page is visited, analyzes the cookie information, and extracts the user identifier (output). Specifically, it reads the cookie value included in the HTTP request and uses that information to retrieve it from the user profile database.
[0739] Step 8:
[0740] The server dynamically embeds the acquired ad creative into an HTML template and displays it in the user's browser. By embedding the ad creative (input) into the HTML template, an ad-embedded page (output) is generated. Specifically, it uses a template engine (EJS or Handlebars) to insert ad data into the HTML code and sends the generated HTML to the client.
[0741] Step 9:
[0742] The server monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration, etc.) in real time and records the data. It analyzes user behavior data (input) and generates response data (output). Specifically, it uses the Google Analytics API to monitor user activity and stores that data in a database.
[0743] Step 10:
[0744] The server evaluates the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine based on the recorded data. It analyzes the reaction data (input) and obtains the model evaluation results (output). Specifically, it uses a Python script to calculate the precision and recall of the model and retrain or tune the generative AI model and emotion engine as needed.
[0745] (Application example 2)
[0746] 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."
[0747] Conventional advertising systems typically generate personalized ads based on user behavior data, but they are unable to reflect the user's real-time emotional state. As a result, ads that do not match the user's emotions are sometimes displayed, making effective ad delivery difficult. Furthermore, there was no established method for collecting real-time user emotional data using mobile devices such as smart glasses and reflecting that data in ad generation. Therefore, a new system was needed to maximize the user experience and improve advertising effectiveness.
[0748] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting behavioral data such as a user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords; means for analyzing the collected behavioral data to identify the user's interests; means for using a generation AI to generate advertising text and images based on the interest information and real-time emotional state; means for reading the user's facial expressions from a mobile device such as smart glasses and analyzing the emotional data; means for delivering the generated advertisement to the user's display device; and means for measuring the effectiveness of the delivered advertisement and collecting feedback data for optimizing the generation AI model. This makes it possible to combine the user's behavioral data and real-time emotional data to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are best suited to the user's situation.

[0763] System Overview
[0764] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate and deliver personalized advertisements based on user behavioral and emotional data. This system operates between a server and user devices, collecting and analyzing user behavioral data and real-time emotional data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements. In addition, the effectiveness of the generated advertisements is collected as feedback, and the system is optimized.
[0765] Hardware and Software Configuration
[0766] The system mainly uses the following hardware and software:
[0767] Server: Hosts and processes databases, analytics engines, and ad generation AI.
[0768] Smart glasses: Captures the user's facial expressions and gaze and transmits the emotional data to a server.
[0769] Emotion Recognition Model: Recognizing emotions from facial expressions using Keras.
[0770] Face detector: Detects the user's face using dlib.
[0771] Generative AI: Generate ad text and images using GPT-3 and DALL-E.
[0772] User device: the device on which the generated advertisement is displayed (e.g. smartphone, PC, smart glasses).
[0773] Data collection and analysis
[0774] The servers collect the websites and pages you visit on the Internet (browsing history), the links and buttons you click (click history), and the words and phrases you enter into search engines (search keywords). This behavioral data is analyzed to identify your interests.
[0775] The smart glasses use built-in cameras and sensors to capture the user's facial expressions and send the data to a server, which then uses an emotion recognition model to analyze the user's emotional state in real time.
[0776] Ad generation
[0777] The server uses generative AI to generate personalized ad text and images based on the collected behavioral and emotional data. For example, if a user is interested in pet supplies and has a relaxed expression, the server generates ad text saying "Specialty pet food discount sale!" and an attractive image of pet food.
[0778] Ad serving
[0779] The generated ads are then delivered to the user's display device, such as the smart glasses display or smartphone screen, and personalized ads are presented in real time based on the user's gaze and emotional state.
[0780] Measurement and optimization
[0781] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads and collects the data. The collected data is used to evaluate the performance of the generative AI model, and retraining and tuning are performed as necessary. This allows for optimization to improve the effectiveness of the ads.
[0782] Specific examples
[0783] For example, when a user visits a pet shop, the smart glasses identify the user's gaze. If the user shows interest in pet food and has a relaxed expression, the server uses generative AI to generate advertising text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" along with an image of attractive pet food. This advertisement is displayed in real time on the smart glasses' display, hoping to attract the user's attention.
[0784] Example prompt for a generative AI model:
[0785] User behavior data:
[0786] User ID: user123
[0787] Interests: Pet supplies
[0788] Recent activity: Reading a lot of articles about pet supplies
[0789] Real-time sentiment data:
[0790] Emotion: Relaxed
[0791] Generated ad text:
[0792] Text: Special discount sale on select pet foods!
[0793] Color: Bright
[0794] In this way, ads are dynamically generated that are tailored to the user's circumstances and interests, providing an optimal advertising experience.
[0795] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0796] Step 1:
[0797] When a user visits a website on the Internet, the server obtains a user identifier using cookies. The input is the website the user visits and their activities within it, and the output is the user identifier and behavioral data. This allows the user's browsing history, click history, search keywords, etc. to be collected and stored in a database.
[0798] Step 2:
[0799] When a user wears the smart glasses, the camera and sensors in the smart glasses capture the user's facial expressions. The input is the user's real-time facial expression data, and the output is the captured facial image, which is sent to the server.
[0800] Step 3:
[0801] The server runs an emotion recognition model using the received facial expression data. The input is the captured facial expression image, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state. The emotion recognition model (Keras model) analyzes this facial expression data and identifies the user's real-time emotional state.
[0802] Step 4:
[0803] The server sends an ad generation request to the generative AI based on the collected behavioral and emotional data. The input is user interest data and real-time emotional data, and the output is ad text and images. The generative AI (GPT-3 and DALL-E) generates personalized ads based on the user's interests and emotions.
[0804] Step 5:
[0805] The generated advertisement is dynamically embedded into an HTML template by the server. The input is the advertisement text and images, and the output is an advertisement creative appropriate for the user's display device. This allows the advertisement to be displayed where the user sees it through smart glasses or a smartphone.
[0806] Step 6:
[0807] The server monitors how users respond to the displayed ads. The input is user reaction data to the ads (number of clicks, time spent, etc.), and the output is effectiveness measurement data. This allows the performance of the ads to be evaluated in real time.
[0808] Step 7:
[0809] The server retrains or tunes the generative AI model based on the collected effectiveness measurement data. The input is the advertising effectiveness measurement data, and the output is an optimized generative AI model. This allows for optimization that can be expected to produce even greater effectiveness in the next ad generation.
[0810] 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.
[0811] 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.
[0812] 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.

[0819] 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).
[0820] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for 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.
[0821] 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.
[0822] The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure.

The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0823] 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.
[0824] In the headset type terminal 314, a reception output process is performed by the processor 46. 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.
[0825] 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."
[0826] System Overview
[0827] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate personalized advertisements based on user interests and improve advertising effectiveness. This system operates between a server and user devices, collecting and analyzing user behavior data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements.
[0828] Program processing flow and operation
[0829] Data collection and analysis

[0832] 2. The collected data is stored in a database.
[0833] 3. The server periodically analyzes the data in batches and uses machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify user interests. For example, if a user frequently reads articles related to "health and fitness," this interest category will be added to the user profile.
[0834] Ad generation
[0835] server:
[0836] 1. Based on the identified interest information, the server requests the ad text and images from the generating AI.
[0837] 2. For example, a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) generates advertising text like, "Special Offer on the Latest Fitness Equipment!" An image-generating AI like DALL-E generates images of fitness equipment.
[0838] 3. The generated ad text and images are stored in the ad content database.
[0839] Ad serving
[0840] server:
[0841] 1. When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie.
[0842] 2. The server reads the user's interest information from the user profile database and retrieves the relevant ad creative from the ad content database.
[0843] 3. The acquired ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser.
[0844] Measurement and optimization
[0845] server:
[0846] 1. The server monitors user responses to the delivered advertisements (e.g., click-through rate and duration of visit) and records the data in real time.
[0847] 2. The recorded data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The model's performance is evaluated, and retraining and tuning are carried out as necessary to further improve advertising effectiveness.
[0848] Specific examples
[0849] If User A reads many articles about pet supplies, their behavioral data is collected and analyzed. The server identifies User A's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. For example, a text ad saying "Specially Selected Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of adorable pet food are generated. These ad creatives are incorporated in real time into the web pages visited by User A, creating ads that catch User A's interest. When an ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as effectiveness measurement data. The generation AI model is optimized based on this data and reflected in future ad generation.
[0850] In this way, the present invention is a system that generates and delivers personalized advertisements that accurately capture the user's interests, maximizing the effectiveness of the advertisements.
[0851] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0852] Step 1:
[0853] server:
[0854] Every time a user visits a website, the server obtains a user identifier using a cookie, and also records the user's browsing history, click history, search keywords, and other behavioral data in real time. This data is then stored in a database.
[0855] Step 2:
[0856] server:
[0857] Periodically, collected data is batch processed and analyzed using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify user interest categories (e.g., pets, travel, technology) and update the user profile database.
[0858] Step 3:
[0859] server:
[0860] Based on the interest information, a request is sent to a generative AI to generate ad text and images. For example, GPT-3 is used to generate ad text such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!". Furthermore, an image-generating AI (e.g., DALL-E) is used to generate attractive images of pet food.
[0861] Step 4:
[0862] server:
[0863] The generated advertisement text and images are stored in an advertisement content database.
[0864] Step 5:
[0865] server:
[0866] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads interest information from a user profile database, and retrieves relevant ad creative for that user from an ad content database.
[0867] Step 6:
[0868] server:
[0869] Ad creatives are dynamically embedded into HTML templates and displayed in the user's browser.
[0870] Step 7:
[0871] server:
[0872] It monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration of visit, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[0873] Step 8:
[0874] server:
[0875] The performance of the generative AI model is evaluated based on the collected effectiveness measurement data, and if necessary, retraining and tuning are carried out to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[0876] Step 9:
[0877] User device:
[0878] When an ad is displayed, the user's browser sends user actions such as clicks and skips to the server, which collects this data as feedback and uses it for performance measurement and optimization.
[0879] This series of steps allows personalized advertisements to be generated and delivered to users, maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[0880] Example 1
[0881] 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."
[0882] Conventional advertising systems struggled to generate and deliver personalized ads that accurately reflected user interests, resulting in a tendency for advertising effectiveness to decline. Furthermore, they lacked the functionality to measure the effectiveness of delivered ads in real time and optimize and retrain the AI model, making it difficult to improve advertising accuracy. This could lead to dissatisfaction for both advertisers and users.
[0883] 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.
[0884] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting behavioral data such as user browsing history, click history, and search keywords, means for analyzing the collected behavioral data to identify user interests, means for using a generation AI to generate advertising text and images based on the interest information, means for recording the generated advertising text and images in a database, means for acquiring a user identifier each time the user visits a web page and delivering advertisements based on the user's interest information, and means for measuring the effectiveness of the delivered advertisements and collecting feedback data for optimizing the generation AI model. This enables the generation and delivery of highly accurate personalized advertisements that accurately reflect user interests and concerns, maximizing advertising effectiveness and improving user satisfaction.

[0898] The present invention provides a system for generating personalized advertisements based on user interests and improving advertising effectiveness. This system operates mainly between a server and a user terminal, and is realized using the following specific hardware and software.
[0899] Data collection and analysis
[0900] server:
[0901] When a user accesses a website, the server obtains a user identifier using cookies. It also collects behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time. This data is initially stored in memory and periodically written to a database. Data analysis is performed using machine learning libraries such as Python's Scikit-learn library and TensorFlow. Based on the analysis results, the user's interest categories are identified and added to the user profile.
[0902] Ad generation
[0903] server:
[0904] Based on the identified user interest information, the server requests the generation AI to generate the text and images of the advertisement. The generation AI model uses a natural language processing algorithm (e.g., GPT-3) and an image generation algorithm (e.g., image generation AI). The server sends the following prompt to the generation AI:
[0905] Generate ad text with a "Fitness Equipment" theme. Include a short catchphrase to grab users' attention.
[0906] Example: Special deals on the latest fitness equipment!
[0907] The generated advertisement text and images are recorded in an advertisement content database.
[0908] Ad serving
[0909] server:
[0910] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user's identifier using a cookie. The server reads the user's interests from the user profile database and retrieves the relevant ad creative from the ad content database. The retrieved ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser.
[0911] Measurement and optimization
[0912] server:
[0913] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads and records click information and ad viewing time in real time. The recorded data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The server periodically uses this data to retrain the generative AI model and improve the accuracy of ad generation.
[0914] Specific examples
[0915] If User A reads many articles about pet supplies, that behavioral data is collected in real time. Based on this data, the server identifies User A's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. For example, a text ad saying "Specially Selected Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of cute pet food are generated. These ad creatives are incorporated in real time into the web pages visited by User A, creating ads that catch User A's interest. When an ad is clicked, the server records the click information and uses it as optimization data for the generation AI model. The next time the user visits, a more accurate ad is delivered, improving the effectiveness of the ad.
[0916] As described above, this system generates and delivers personalized advertisements based on user interests, maximizing advertising effectiveness and improving user satisfaction.
[0917] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0918] Step 1: Data collection
[0919] When a user accesses a website, the server obtains a user identifier using a cookie. Specifically, the server reads the cookie information included in the HTTP request and extracts the user identifier. The server then collects behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords. This data is temporarily stored in the server's memory and eventually written to a database.
[0920] Input: User access information (cookies, browsing history, click history, search keywords)
[0921] Output: Behavioral data record (database)
[0922] Step 2: Data analysis
[0923] The server periodically analyzes the collected behavioral data in batches. The server uses machine learning algorithms, such as Python's Scikit-learn library and TensorFlow, to identify user interest categories. This analysis allows the server to add interest categories based on the content the user frequently accesses.
[0924] Input: Behavioral data (database)
[0925] Output: Interest categories (user profile database)
[0926] Step 3: Request Ad Generation
[0927] The server sends a prompt to the AI based on the identified interests. For example, if the user is interested in "health and fitness," the server sends the following prompt to the AI:
[0928] Generate ad text for "Fitness Equipment." Include a short catchphrase to grab users' attention.
[0929] Example: Special deals on the latest fitness equipment!
[0930] The AI generator generates ad text based on this prompt, while the image generator algorithm simultaneously generates related images.
[0931] Input: Interest information (user profile database)
[0932] Output: Ad text and images (ad content database)
[0933] Step 4: Save your ad
[0934] The generated ad text and images are stored in an ad content database by the server, which does this by performing write operations to the database. Each ad is given a unique identifier and linked to user interest information.
[0935] Input: Ad text and image
[0936] Output: Record of advertising content (advertising content database)
[0937] Step 5: Serving Ads
[0938] Each time the user visits a new web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie and looks up the user's interests in a user profile database. The server then retrieves relevant advertisements from an advertising content database and dynamically inserts them into an HTML template that is sent to the browser, where the advertisements are displayed on the user's web page.
[0939] Input: User access information (cookies), interest information (user profile database), advertising content (advertising content database)
[0940] Output: A web page with dynamically generated ads
[0941] Step 6: Measure and optimize
[0942] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads. Specifically, it records the ad click-through rate and duration in real time. This data is stored in a database and used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The server uses this data to periodically retrain the generative AI model and improve the accuracy of ad generation.
[0943] Input: Ad response data (click-through rate, duration)
[0944] Output: Feedback data (database), optimized generative AI model
[0945] This is the flow of processing in the program for this system, which enables the generation and delivery of highly accurate personalized advertisements based on user interests.

[0965] System Overview
[0966] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate personalized advertisements based on user interests and improve advertising effectiveness. The system operates between a server and user terminals, collecting and analyzing user behavior data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements. Specifically, it includes the following means and processes:
[0967] Data collection and analysis
[0968] The server obtains a user identifier using cookies when a user visits a website. It also collects behavioral data, such as browsing history, click history, and search keywords. This behavioral data is stored in a database, and the server periodically analyzes the data in batches to identify user interests using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques. For example, if a user frequently reads articles related to "health and fitness," this interest category will be added to the user profile.
[0969] Ad generation
[0970] The server requests ad text and images from the generation AI based on the identified interest information. For example, the generative AI model generates ad text such as "Special Offer on the Latest Fitness Equipment!", and the image generation AI generates images of fitness equipment. The generated ad text and images are stored in the ad content database.
[0971] Ad serving
[0972] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie. The server reads the user's interest information from the user profile database and retrieves relevant advertising content from the advertising content database. The retrieved advertising content is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser. This allows the user to see personalized ads in real time.
[0973] Measurement and optimization
[0974] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads (e.g., click-through rate and dwell time) and records the data in real time. This collected data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. By evaluating the model's performance and re-training or tuning as necessary, the effectiveness of the ads can be further improved.
[0975] Specific examples of technology
[0976] For example, if a user reads many articles about "pet supplies," that behavioral data is collected and analyzed. The server identifies the user's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. The generation AI model generates ad text such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!", and the image generation AI generates images of cute pet food. These ad creatives are embedded in real time into the web pages the user visits. When an ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as effectiveness measurement data. The generation AI model is optimized based on this data and reflected in future ad generation.
[0977] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1017] System Overview
[1018] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate and deliver personalized advertisements based on user behavioral and emotional data. This system operates between a server and user devices, collecting and analyzing user behavioral and emotional data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements. In addition, the effectiveness of the generated advertisements is collected as feedback, and the system is optimized.
[1019] Program processing flow and operation
[1020] Data collection and analysis
[1021] server:
[1022] 1. The server obtains a user identifier using cookies each time a user visits a website, and records the user's browsing history, click history, search keywords, and other behavioral data in real time. This data is then stored in a database.
[1023] 2. The server reads the user's facial expressions through the webcam on the web page the user is viewing, and analyzes the emotional data using the emotion engine. This emotional data is also stored in the database.
[1024] Ad generation
[1025] server:
[1026] 1. Periodically collected behavioral and emotional data is batch processed and analyzed using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify the user's interest categories and emotional state.
[1027] 2. Based on the identified interests and real-time emotional state, the system sends a request to a generative AI to generate ad text and images. For example, GPT-3 is used to generate ad text such as "Specialty Pet Food Sale!", and an image-generating AI such as DALL-E is used to generate attractive images of the pet food.
[1028] 3. The emotion engine generates ads with bright colors and positive words when the user is in a positive emotional state, and conversely, generates ads with calming tones and soothing words when the user is in a negative emotional state.
[1029] Ad serving
[1030] server:
[1031] 1. When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads the user's interests and emotional state from the user profile database, and retrieves the relevant ad creative for that user from the ad content database.
[1032] 2. The acquired ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser.
[1033] Measurement and optimization
[1034] server:
[1035] 1. The server monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, length of stay, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[1036] 2. Based on the recorded data, evaluate the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine, and retrain or tune it as needed to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[1037] Specific examples
[1038] For example, suppose User B reads many articles about pet supplies. While User B is browsing a web page, the emotion engine detects that the user is relaxed from their facial expression. Based on this data, the server generates ad text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" along with an image of pet food. The generated ad is created using bright colors and positive wording to match User B's relaxed state. This ad is then embedded in real time into the web pages visited by User B, attracting User B's interest. When the ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as feedback data. Based on this data, the generative AI model and emotion engine are optimized and reflected in future ad generation.
[1039] As described above, the present invention is a system that generates and delivers personalized advertisements that accurately capture the user's interests and real-time emotional state, thereby maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[1040] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1041] Step 1:
[1042] server:
[1043] When a user visits a website, the server uses cookies to obtain a user identifier, and also obtains behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time, which are then stored in a database.
[1044] Step 2:
[1045] User device:
[1046] While a user is browsing a website, their facial expressions are captured by a webcam, and this image data is instantly sent to a server.
[1047] Step 3:
[1048] server:
[1049] Using the transmitted image data, the emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions to identify their real-time emotional state (e.g., happy, sad, surprised), which is also recorded in a database.
[1050] Step 4:
[1051] server:
[1052] It periodically analyzes behavioral and emotional data through batch processing, and uses machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify users' interest categories and emotional states, thereby revealing which categories users are interested in.
[1053] Step 5:
[1054] server:
[1055] Based on the identified interests and real-time emotional state, the system requests a generative AI (e.g., GPT-3, DALL-E) to generate ad text and images. For example, if the emotion engine determines that the user is relaxed, the generative AI will generate ad text that matches the relaxed state, such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!". DALL-E will then generate a bright, relaxing image of the pet food.
[1056] Step 6:
[1057] server:
[1058] The generated advertisement text and images are stored in an advertisement content database.
[1059] Step 7:
[1060] server:
[1061] Each time a user visits a web page, the system retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads their interests and emotional state from the user profile database, and retrieves ad creative from the ad content database based on this information.
[1062] Step 8:
[1063] server:
[1064] The resulting ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser, with the tone and color of the ad adjusted based on the user's emotional state.
[1065] Step 9:
[1066] server:
[1067] It monitors user responses to delivered ads (whether the ad was clicked or skipped, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[1068] Step 10:
[1069] server:
[1070] Based on the collected effectiveness measurement data, the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine is evaluated, and if necessary, retraining and tuning are carried out to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[1071] Step 11:
[1072] User device:
[1073] When an ad is displayed, the user's browser sends actions such as clicks or skips to the server, and this feedback data is used in the measurement and optimization process.
[1074] This series of steps allows for the generation and delivery of personalized ads that are optimized for the user's interests and emotional state, maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[1075] Example 2
[1076] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1077] Conventional personalized advertising systems generate ads based solely on user behavioral data and lack the ability to generate ads that take into account the user's real-time emotional state. This makes it difficult to optimize ads based on the user's emotional state and maximize advertising effectiveness. Furthermore, the AI model for generating ads is not adequately optimized based on the effectiveness measurement data of the generated ads, making it difficult to expect continuous improvement in advertising effectiveness.
[1078] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting behavioral data such as a user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords, means for analyzing the collected behavioral data to identify the user's interests, means for analyzing the collected facial expression data to identify the user's emotional state, means for using a generation AI to generate advertisement text and images based on the interest information and emotional state, means for delivering the generated advertisement to the user's display terminal, and means for measuring the effectiveness of the delivered advertisement and collecting feedback data for optimizing the generation AI model. This makes it possible to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are optimized in real time by integrating the user's behavioral data and emotional data.
[1079] "User browsing history" refers to historical data about the pages a user visits on a website.

[1093] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[1094] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate and deliver personalized advertisements based on user behavioral and emotional data. This system operates primarily between a server and a user's device and is designed to provide a rich, personalized advertising experience.
[1095] Data collection and analysis
[1096] server:
[1097] 1. The server obtains a user identifier using a cookie each time a user visits the website. The user identifier is generated as a unique ID and stored in a database.
[1098] 2. The server then records users' browsing history, click history, search keywords, and other behavioral data in real time, which is then stored in a database such as MongoDB or MySQL along with a timestamp.
[1099] 3. The server reads the user's facial expressions through the camera installed on the user's device and analyzes the emotional data using an emotion engine (for example, Microsoft Azure's Emotion API). The resulting emotion score (for example, joy, sadness, surprise, etc.) is also stored in a database.
[1100] Ad generation
[1101] server:
[1102] 1. The server processes the collected behavioral and emotional data in batches, analyzes the data using a batch processing framework such as Apache Spark, and applies a machine learning model (e.g., a clustering algorithm using scikit-learn) to classify the user's interest categories.
[1103] 2. Send a request to a generative AI (e.g., GPT-3 and DALL-E using OpenAI APIs) to generate ad text and images based on the identified interests and real-time emotional state. Create a prompt like the following: "Generate ad copy with a light tone that corresponds to a relaxed emotional state for users interested in pet products."
[1104] 3. The emotion engine is used to appropriately adjust the tone of the generated ad: if the emotional state is positive, the ad content will be generated with bright images and positive language.
[1105] Ad serving
[1106] server:
[1107] 1. Every time a user visits a web page, the cookie information is analyzed to obtain the user identifier again, and an SQL query is issued to obtain the necessary interest information and emotional state from the user profile database.
[1108] 2. The retrieved ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser using a web server framework such as Node.js. A template engine (e.g., EJS or Handlebars) is used to embed ad data into HTML.
[1109] Measurement and optimization
[1110] server:
[1111] 1. User responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration, etc.) are monitored in real time and the data is recorded. This is done using the Google Analytics API, which collects user behavior data and stores it in a database.
[1112] 2. Evaluate the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine based on the recorded data. Use Python scripts to calculate the precision and recall of the model, and retrain or tune it as needed to improve the overall advertising effectiveness of the system.
[1113] Specific examples
[1114] For example, if User B reads many articles about pet supplies, the server will use the emotion engine to detect from User B's facial expression that he or she is relaxed while browsing the webpage. Based on this data, the server generates advertising text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of pet food. The generated advertisement is created using bright colors and positive wording to match User B's relaxed state. This advertisement is then embedded in real time into the webpages visited by User B, attracting User B's interest. When the advertisement is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as feedback data. Based on this data, the generative AI model and emotion engine are optimized and reflected in future advertisement generation.
[1115] This system makes it possible to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are optimized in real time by integrating user behavioral and emotional data.
[1116] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1117] Program processing flow
[1118] Step 1:
[1119] The server uses cookies to obtain a user identifier each time a user visits a website. It analyzes the information in the cookie (input) and extracts the user identifier (output). It stores this identifier in a database. Specifically, when an HTTP request is received, it reads the value of the HTTP cookie and records it in the database.
[1120] Step 2:
[1121] The server records user behavioral data such as browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time. First, it monitors user behavior (input), activates an event logger accordingly, and saves the behavioral data (output) in a database. Specifically, it captures user events that occur within a web page (such as clicks and page transitions) and stores that information in MongoDB or MySQL.
[1122] Step 3:
[1123] The server reads the user's facial expression through the camera installed on the user's device and analyzes the emotional data using the emotion engine. The server obtains the user's facial expression image (input), analyzes it, and generates an emotion score (output). Specifically, it sends the image data to the Emotion API in real time and stores the results in a database.
[1124] Step 4:
[1125] The server processes the collected behavioral and emotional data in batches and analyzes the data. The behavioral and emotional data (input) is processed using a batch processing framework such as Apache Spark to identify the user's interest categories (output). Specifically, the server periodically runs a batch job and clusters the data using a machine learning model.
[1126] Step 5:
[1127] The server sends a request to the generation AI to generate ad text and images based on the identified interest information and real-time emotional state. The interest information and emotional state (input) are processed, and ad creative (output) is obtained by sending a prompt to the generation AI. Specifically, the server sends a prompt to the generation AI, such as "Please generate ad copy with a bright tone that corresponds to a relaxed emotional state, targeted at users interested in pet products."
[1128] Step 6:
[1129] The server uses the emotion engine to appropriately adjust the tone of the generated advertisement. It receives the ad creative (input) and modifies the tone depending on the emotional state. Specifically, if the emotional state is positive, it generates an advertisement with bright images and positive wording.
[1130] Step 7:
[1131] The server analyzes the cookie information again each time the user visits a web page to obtain the user identifier. It receives the HTTP request (input) when the web page is visited, analyzes the cookie information, and extracts the user identifier (output). Specifically, it reads the cookie value included in the HTTP request and uses that information to retrieve it from the user profile database.
[1132] Step 8:
[1133] The server dynamically embeds the acquired ad creative into an HTML template and displays it in the user's browser. By embedding the ad creative (input) into the HTML template, an ad-embedded page (output) is generated. Specifically, it uses a template engine (EJS or Handlebars) to insert ad data into the HTML code and sends the generated HTML to the client.
[1134] Step 9:
[1135] The server monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration, etc.) in real time and records the data. It analyzes user behavior data (input) and generates response data (output). Specifically, it uses the Google Analytics API to monitor user activity and stores that data in a database.
[1136] Step 10:
[1137] The server evaluates the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine based on the recorded data. It analyzes the reaction data (input) and obtains the model evaluation results (output). Specifically, it uses a Python script to calculate the precision and recall of the model and retrain or tune the generative AI model and emotion engine as needed.
[1138] (Application example 2)
[1139] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1140] Conventional advertising systems typically generate personalized ads based on user behavior data, but they are unable to reflect the user's real-time emotional state. As a result, ads that do not match the user's emotions are sometimes displayed, making effective ad delivery difficult. Furthermore, there was no established method for collecting real-time user emotional data using mobile devices such as smart glasses and reflecting that data in ad generation. Therefore, a new system was needed to maximize the user experience and improve advertising effectiveness.
[1141] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting behavioral data such as a user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords; means for analyzing the collected behavioral data to identify the user's interests; means for using a generation AI to generate advertising text and images based on the interest information and real-time emotional state; means for reading the user's facial expressions from a mobile device such as smart glasses and analyzing the emotional data; means for delivering the generated advertisement to the user's display device; and means for measuring the effectiveness of the delivered advertisement and collecting feedback data for optimizing the generation AI model. This makes it possible to combine the user's behavioral data and real-time emotional data to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are best suited to the user's situation.

[1156] System Overview
[1157] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate and deliver personalized advertisements based on user behavioral and emotional data. This system operates between a server and user devices, collecting and analyzing user behavioral data and real-time emotional data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements. In addition, the effectiveness of the generated advertisements is collected as feedback, and the system is optimized.
[1158] Hardware and Software Configuration
[1159] The system mainly uses the following hardware and software:
[1160] Server: Hosts and processes databases, analytics engines, and ad generation AI.
[1161] Smart glasses: Captures the user's facial expressions and gaze and transmits the emotional data to a server.
[1162] Emotion Recognition Model: Recognizing emotions from facial expressions using Keras.
[1163] Face detector: Detects the user's face using dlib.
[1164] Generative AI: Generate ad text and images using GPT-3 and DALL-E.
[1165] User device: the device on which the generated advertisement is displayed (e.g. smartphone, PC, smart glasses).
[1166] Data collection and analysis
[1167] The servers collect the websites and pages you visit on the Internet (browsing history), the links and buttons you click (click history), and the words and phrases you enter into search engines (search keywords). This behavioral data is analyzed to identify your interests.
[1168] The smart glasses use built-in cameras and sensors to capture the user's facial expressions and send the data to a server, which then uses an emotion recognition model to analyze the user's emotional state in real time.
[1169] Ad generation
[1170] The server uses generative AI to generate personalized ad text and images based on the collected behavioral and emotional data. For example, if a user is interested in pet supplies and has a relaxed expression, the server generates ad text saying "Specialty pet food discount sale!" and an attractive image of pet food.
[1171] Ad serving
[1172] The generated ads are then delivered to the user's display device, such as the smart glasses display or smartphone screen, and personalized ads are presented in real time based on the user's gaze and emotional state.
[1173] Measurement and optimization
[1174] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads and collects the data. The collected data is used to evaluate the performance of the generative AI model, and retraining and tuning are performed as necessary. This allows for optimization to improve the effectiveness of the ads.
[1175] Specific examples
[1176] For example, when a user visits a pet shop, the smart glasses identify the user's gaze. If the user shows interest in pet food and has a relaxed expression, the server uses generative AI to generate advertising text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" along with an image of attractive pet food. This advertisement is displayed in real time on the smart glasses' display, hoping to attract the user's attention.
[1177] Example prompt for a generative AI model:
[1178] User behavior data:
[1179] User ID: user123
[1180] Interests: Pet supplies
[1181] Recent activity: Reading a lot of articles about pet supplies
[1182] Real-time sentiment data:
[1183] Emotion: Relaxed
[1184] Generated ad text:
[1185] Text: Special discount sale on select pet foods!
[1186] Color: Bright
[1187] In this way, ads are dynamically generated that are tailored to the user's circumstances and interests, providing an optimal advertising experience.
[1188] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1189] Step 1:
[1190] When a user visits a website on the Internet, the server obtains a user identifier using cookies. The input is the website the user visits and their activities within it, and the output is the user identifier and behavioral data. This allows the user's browsing history, click history, search keywords, etc. to be collected and stored in a database.
[1191] Step 2:
[1192] When a user wears the smart glasses, the camera and sensors in the smart glasses capture the user's facial expressions. The input is the user's real-time facial expression data, and the output is the captured facial image, which is sent to the server.
[1193] Step 3:
[1194] The server runs an emotion recognition model using the received facial expression data. The input is the captured facial expression image, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state. The emotion recognition model (Keras model) analyzes this facial expression data and identifies the user's real-time emotional state.
[1195] Step 4:
[1196] The server sends an ad generation request to the generative AI based on the collected behavioral and emotional data. The input is user interest data and real-time emotional data, and the output is ad text and images. The generative AI (GPT-3 and DALL-E) generates personalized ads based on the user's interests and emotions.
[1197] Step 5:
[1198] The generated advertisement is dynamically embedded into an HTML template by the server. The input is the advertisement text and images, and the output is an advertisement creative appropriate for the user's display device. This allows the advertisement to be displayed where the user sees it through smart glasses or a smartphone.
[1199] Step 6:
[1200] The server monitors how users respond to the displayed ads. The input is user reaction data to the ads (number of clicks, time spent, etc.), and the output is effectiveness measurement data. This allows the performance of the ads to be evaluated in real time.
[1201] Step 7:
[1202] The server retrains or tunes the generative AI model based on the collected effectiveness measurement data. The input is the advertising effectiveness measurement data, and the output is an optimized generative AI model. This allows for optimization that can be expected to produce even greater effectiveness in the next ad generation.
[1203] 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.
[1204] 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.
[1205] 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.

[1213] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for 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.
[1214] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors for driving the arms, hands, and feet.

[1219] 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."
[1220] System Overview
[1221] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate personalized advertisements based on user interests and improve advertising effectiveness. This system operates between a server and user devices, collecting and analyzing user behavior data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements.
[1222] Program processing flow and operation
[1223] Data collection and analysis
[1224] server:
[1225] 1. When a user visits a website, the server obtains a user identifier using cookies, and also collects behavioral data such as browsing history, click history, and search keywords.
[1226] 2. The collected data is stored in a database.
[1227] 3. The server periodically analyzes the data in batches and uses machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify user interests. For example, if a user frequently reads articles related to "health and fitness," this interest category will be added to the user profile.
[1228] Ad generation
[1229] server:
[1230] 1. Based on the identified interest information, the server requests the ad text and images from the generating AI.
[1231] 2. For example, a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) generates advertising text like, "Special Offer on the Latest Fitness Equipment!" An image-generating AI like DALL-E generates images of fitness equipment.
[1232] 3. The generated ad text and images are stored in the ad content database.
[1233] Ad serving
[1234] server:
[1235] 1. When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie.
[1236] 2. The server reads the user's interest information from the user profile database and retrieves the relevant ad creative from the ad content database.
[1237] 3. The acquired ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser.
[1238] Measurement and optimization
[1239] server:
[1240] 1. The server monitors user responses to the delivered advertisements (e.g., click-through rate and duration of visit) and records the data in real time.
[1241] 2. The recorded data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The model's performance is evaluated, and retraining and tuning are carried out as necessary to further improve advertising effectiveness.
[1242] Specific examples
[1243] If User A reads many articles about pet supplies, their behavioral data is collected and analyzed. The server identifies User A's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. For example, a text ad saying "Specially Selected Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of adorable pet food are generated. These ad creatives are incorporated in real time into the web pages visited by User A, creating ads that catch User A's interest. When an ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as effectiveness measurement data. The generation AI model is optimized based on this data and reflected in future ad generation.
[1244] In this way, the present invention is a system that generates and delivers personalized advertisements that accurately capture the user's interests, maximizing the effectiveness of the advertisements.
[1245] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1246] Step 1:
[1247] server:
[1248] Every time a user visits a website, the server obtains a user identifier using a cookie, and also records the user's browsing history, click history, search keywords, and other behavioral data in real time. This data is then stored in a database.
[1249] Step 2:
[1250] server:
[1251] Periodically, collected data is batch processed and analyzed using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify user interest categories (e.g., pets, travel, technology) and update the user profile database.
[1252] Step 3:
[1253] server:
[1254] Based on the interest information, a request is sent to a generative AI to generate ad text and images. For example, GPT-3 is used to generate ad text such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!". Furthermore, an image-generating AI (e.g., DALL-E) is used to generate attractive images of pet food.
[1255] Step 4:
[1256] server:
[1257] The generated advertisement text and images are stored in an advertisement content database.
[1258] Step 5:
[1259] server:
[1260] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads interest information from a user profile database, and retrieves relevant ad creative for that user from an ad content database.
[1261] Step 6:
[1262] server:
[1263] Ad creatives are dynamically embedded into HTML templates and displayed in the user's browser.
[1264] Step 7:
[1265] server:
[1266] It monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration of visit, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[1267] Step 8:
[1268] server:
[1269] The performance of the generative AI model is evaluated based on the collected effectiveness measurement data, and if necessary, retraining and tuning are carried out to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[1270] Step 9:
[1271] User device:
[1272] When an ad is displayed, the user's browser sends user actions such as clicks and skips to the server, which collects this data as feedback and uses it for performance measurement and optimization.
[1273] This series of steps allows personalized advertisements to be generated and delivered to users, maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[1274] Example 1
[1275] 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."
[1276] Conventional advertising systems struggled to generate and deliver personalized ads that accurately reflected user interests, resulting in a tendency for advertising effectiveness to decline. Furthermore, they lacked the functionality to measure the effectiveness of delivered ads in real time and optimize and retrain the AI model, making it difficult to improve advertising accuracy. This could lead to dissatisfaction for both advertisers and users.

[1292] The present invention provides a system for generating personalized advertisements based on user interests and improving advertising effectiveness. This system operates mainly between a server and a user terminal, and is realized using the following specific hardware and software.
[1293] Data collection and analysis
[1294] server:
[1295] When a user accesses a website, the server obtains a user identifier using cookies. It also collects behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time. This data is initially stored in memory and periodically written to a database. Data analysis is performed using machine learning libraries such as Python's Scikit-learn library and TensorFlow. Based on the analysis results, the user's interest categories are identified and added to the user profile.
[1296] Ad generation
[1297] server:
[1298] Based on the identified user interest information, the server requests the generation AI to generate the text and images of the advertisement. The generation AI model uses a natural language processing algorithm (e.g., GPT-3) and an image generation algorithm (e.g., image generation AI). The server sends the following prompt to the generation AI:
[1299] Generate ad text with a "Fitness Equipment" theme. Include a short catchphrase to grab users' attention.
[1300] Example: Special deals on the latest fitness equipment!
[1301] The generated advertisement text and images are recorded in an advertisement content database.
[1302] Ad serving
[1303] server:
[1304] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user's identifier using a cookie. The server reads the user's interests from the user profile database and retrieves the relevant ad creative from the ad content database. The retrieved ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser.
[1305] Measurement and optimization
[1306] server:
[1307] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads and records click information and ad viewing time in real time. The recorded data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The server periodically uses this data to retrain the generative AI model and improve the accuracy of ad generation.
[1308] Specific examples
[1309] If User A reads many articles about pet supplies, that behavioral data is collected in real time. Based on this data, the server identifies User A's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. For example, a text ad saying "Specially Selected Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of cute pet food are generated. These ad creatives are incorporated in real time into the web pages visited by User A, creating ads that catch User A's interest. When an ad is clicked, the server records the click information and uses it as optimization data for the generation AI model. The next time the user visits, a more accurate ad is delivered, improving the effectiveness of the ad.
[1310] As described above, this system generates and delivers personalized advertisements based on user interests, maximizing advertising effectiveness and improving user satisfaction.
[1311] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1312] Step 1: Data collection
[1313] When a user accesses a website, the server obtains a user identifier using a cookie. Specifically, the server reads the cookie information included in the HTTP request and extracts the user identifier. The server then collects behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords. This data is temporarily stored in the server's memory and eventually written to a database.
[1314] Input: User access information (cookies, browsing history, click history, search keywords)
[1315] Output: Behavioral data record (database)
[1316] Step 2: Data analysis
[1317] The server periodically analyzes the collected behavioral data in batches. The server uses machine learning algorithms, such as Python's Scikit-learn library and TensorFlow, to identify user interest categories. This analysis allows the server to add interest categories based on the content the user frequently accesses.
[1318] Input: Behavioral data (database)
[1319] Output: Interest categories (user profile database)
[1320] Step 3: Request Ad Generation
[1321] The server sends a prompt to the AI based on the identified interests. For example, if the user is interested in "health and fitness," the server sends the following prompt to the AI:
[1322] Generate ad text for "Fitness Equipment." Include a short catchphrase to grab users' attention.
[1323] Example: Special deals on the latest fitness equipment!
[1324] The AI generator generates ad text based on this prompt, while the image generator algorithm simultaneously generates related images.
[1325] Input: Interest information (user profile database)
[1326] Output: Ad text and images (ad content database)
[1327] Step 4: Save your ad
[1328] The generated ad text and images are stored in an ad content database by the server, which does this by performing write operations to the database. Each ad is given a unique identifier and linked to user interest information.
[1329] Input: Ad text and image
[1330] Output: Record of advertising content (advertising content database)
[1331] Step 5: Serving Ads
[1332] Each time the user visits a new web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie and looks up the user's interests in a user profile database. The server then retrieves relevant advertisements from an advertising content database and dynamically inserts them into an HTML template that is sent to the browser, where the advertisements are displayed on the user's web page.
[1333] Input: User access information (cookies), interest information (user profile database), advertising content (advertising content database)
[1334] Output: A web page with dynamically generated ads
[1335] Step 6: Measure and optimize
[1336] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads. Specifically, it records the ad click-through rate and duration in real time. This data is stored in a database and used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The server uses this data to periodically retrain the generative AI model and improve the accuracy of ad generation.
[1337] Input: Ad response data (click-through rate, duration)
[1338] Output: Feedback data (database), optimized generative AI model
[1339] This is the flow of processing in the program for this system, which enables the generation and delivery of highly accurate personalized advertisements based on user interests.

[1359] System Overview
[1360] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate personalized advertisements based on user interests and improve advertising effectiveness. The system operates between a server and user terminals, collecting and analyzing user behavior data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements. Specifically, it includes the following means and processes:
[1361] Data collection and analysis
[1362] The server obtains a user identifier using cookies when a user visits a website. It also collects behavioral data, such as browsing history, click history, and search keywords. This behavioral data is stored in a database, and the server periodically analyzes the data in batches to identify user interests using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques. For example, if a user frequently reads articles related to "health and fitness," this interest category will be added to the user profile.
[1363] Ad generation
[1364] The server requests ad text and images from the generation AI based on the identified interest information. For example, the generative AI model generates ad text such as "Special Offer on the Latest Fitness Equipment!", and the image generation AI generates images of fitness equipment. The generated ad text and images are stored in the ad content database.
[1365] Ad serving
[1366] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie. The server reads the user's interest information from the user profile database and retrieves relevant advertising content from the advertising content database. The retrieved advertising content is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and sent to the user's browser. This allows the user to see personalized ads in real time.
[1367] Measurement and optimization
[1368] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads (e.g., click-through rate and dwell time) and records the data in real time. This collected data is used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. By evaluating the model's performance and re-training or tuning as necessary, the effectiveness of the ads can be further improved.
[1369] Specific examples of technology
[1370] For example, if a user reads many articles about "pet supplies," that behavioral data is collected and analyzed. The server identifies the user's interest category as "pets" and requests the generation AI to generate an ad. The generation AI model generates ad text such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!", and the image generation AI generates images of cute pet food. These ad creatives are embedded in real time into the web pages the user visits. When an ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as effectiveness measurement data. The generation AI model is optimized based on this data and reflected in future ad generation.
[1371] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1372] 1. "Create an ad for the latest pet products."
[1373] 2. "Pet supplies images"

[1386] Input: Behavioral data stored in a database
[1387] Data processing: Analyzing data using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques
[1388] Output: User interest categories are identified and stored in a profile database
[1389] Step 3:
[1390] Uses generative AI to generate ad text and images based on interest information.
[1391] Specific behavior:
[1392] The server sends the specified interest information as an input prompt to a generation AI (e.g., GPT-3 and DALL-E). The generation AI generates ad text such as "Special Offer on the Latest Fitness Equipment!" and a matching image. The generated ad content is stored in an ad content database.
[1393] Input: Interest information
[1394] Data processing: Send prompts to the generative AI to generate text and images
[1395] Output: The generated ad text and images are stored in the ad content database.
[1396] Step 4:
[1397] The generated advertisement is delivered to the user's display device.
[1398] Specific behavior:
[1399] When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads interest information from the profile database, retrieves relevant advertising content from the advertising content database, dynamically embeds the retrieved advertisement into an HTML template, and sends it to the user's browser.
[1400] Input: User identifier, advertising content
[1401] Data processing: Dynamically embedding advertising content into HTML templates
[1402] Output: A personalized ad is displayed in the user's browser
[1403] Step 5:
[1404] Measure the effectiveness of delivered ads and collect feedback data to optimize generative AI models.
[1405] Specific behavior:
[1406] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads, such as click-through rates and browser dwell times. The collected data is stored as feedback data and used to evaluate and optimize the generative AI model. The model's performance is analyzed and retrained or adjusted as necessary.
[1407] Input: User response data
[1408] Data processing: Collect and analyze reaction data, and retrain and adjust the model
[1409] Output: An optimized generative AI model
[1410] 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.
[1411] System Overview
[1412] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate and deliver personalized advertisements based on user behavioral and emotional data. This system operates between a server and user devices, collecting and analyzing user behavioral and emotional data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements. In addition, the effectiveness of the generated advertisements is collected as feedback, and the system is optimized.
[1413] Program processing flow and operation
[1414] Data collection and analysis
[1415] server:
[1416] 1. The server obtains a user identifier using cookies each time a user visits a website, and records the user's browsing history, click history, search keywords, and other behavioral data in real time. This data is then stored in a database.
[1417] 2. The server reads the user's facial expressions through the webcam on the web page the user is viewing, and analyzes the emotional data using the emotion engine. This emotional data is also stored in the database.
[1418] Ad generation
[1419] server:
[1420] 1. Periodically collected behavioral and emotional data is batch processed and analyzed using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify the user's interest categories and emotional state.
[1421] 2. Based on the identified interests and real-time emotional state, the system sends a request to a generative AI to generate ad text and images. For example, GPT-3 is used to generate ad text such as "Specialty Pet Food Sale!", and an image-generating AI such as DALL-E is used to generate attractive images of the pet food.
[1422] 3. The emotion engine generates ads with bright colors and positive words when the user is in a positive emotional state, and conversely, generates ads with calming tones and soothing words when the user is in a negative emotional state.
[1423] Ad serving
[1424] server:
[1425] 1. When a user visits a web page, the server retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads the user's interests and emotional state from the user profile database, and retrieves the relevant ad creative for that user from the ad content database.
[1426] 2. The acquired ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser.
[1427] Measurement and optimization
[1428] server:
[1429] 1. The server monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, length of stay, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[1430] 2. Based on the recorded data, evaluate the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine, and retrain or tune it as needed to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[1431] Specific examples
[1432] For example, suppose User B reads many articles about pet supplies. While User B is browsing a web page, the emotion engine detects that the user is relaxed from their facial expression. Based on this data, the server generates ad text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" along with an image of pet food. The generated ad is created using bright colors and positive wording to match User B's relaxed state. This ad is then embedded in real time into the web pages visited by User B, attracting User B's interest. When the ad is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as feedback data. Based on this data, the generative AI model and emotion engine are optimized and reflected in future ad generation.
[1433] As described above, the present invention is a system that generates and delivers personalized advertisements that accurately capture the user's interests and real-time emotional state, thereby maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[1434] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1435] Step 1:
[1436] server:
[1437] When a user visits a website, the server uses cookies to obtain a user identifier, and also obtains behavioral data such as the user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time, which are then stored in a database.
[1438] Step 2:
[1439] User device:
[1440] While a user is browsing a website, their facial expressions are captured by a webcam, and this image data is instantly sent to a server.
[1441] Step 3:
[1442] server:
[1443] Using the transmitted image data, the emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions to identify their real-time emotional state (e.g., happy, sad, surprised), which is also recorded in a database.
[1444] Step 4:
[1445] server:
[1446] It periodically analyzes behavioral and emotional data through batch processing, and uses machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to identify users' interest categories and emotional states, thereby revealing which categories users are interested in.
[1447] Step 5:
[1448] server:
[1449] Based on the identified interests and real-time emotional state, the system requests a generative AI (e.g., GPT-3, DALL-E) to generate ad text and images. For example, if the emotion engine determines that the user is relaxed, the generative AI will generate ad text that matches the relaxed state, such as "Specialty pet food discount sale!". DALL-E will then generate a bright, relaxing image of the pet food.
[1450] Step 6:
[1451] server:
[1452] The generated advertisement text and images are stored in an advertisement content database.
[1453] Step 7:
[1454] server:
[1455] Each time a user visits a web page, the system retrieves the user identifier from the cookie, reads their interests and emotional state from the user profile database, and retrieves ad creative from the ad content database based on this information.
[1456] Step 8:
[1457] server:
[1458] The resulting ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser, with the tone and color of the ad adjusted based on the user's emotional state.
[1459] Step 9:
[1460] server:
[1461] It monitors user responses to delivered ads (whether the ad was clicked or skipped, etc.) in real time and records the data.
[1462] Step 10:
[1463] server:
[1464] Based on the collected effectiveness measurement data, the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine is evaluated, and if necessary, retraining and tuning are carried out to further improve the effectiveness of advertising.
[1465] Step 11:
[1466] User device:
[1467] When an ad is displayed, the user's browser sends actions such as clicks or skips to the server, and this feedback data is used in the measurement and optimization process.
[1468] This series of steps allows for the generation and delivery of personalized ads that are optimized for the user's interests and emotional state, maximizing advertising effectiveness.
[1469] Example 2
[1470] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1471] Conventional personalized advertising systems generate ads based solely on user behavioral data and lack the ability to generate ads that take into account the user's real-time emotional state. This makes it difficult to optimize ads based on the user's emotional state and maximize advertising effectiveness. Furthermore, the AI model for generating ads is not adequately optimized based on the effectiveness measurement data of the generated ads, making it difficult to expect continuous improvement in advertising effectiveness.
[1472] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting behavioral data such as a user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords, means for analyzing the collected behavioral data to identify the user's interests, means for analyzing the collected facial expression data to identify the user's emotional state, means for using a generation AI to generate advertisement text and images based on the interest information and emotional state, means for delivering the generated advertisement to the user's display terminal, and means for measuring the effectiveness of the delivered advertisement and collecting feedback data for optimizing the generation AI model. This makes it possible to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are optimized in real time by integrating the user's behavioral data and emotional data.

[1486] "Optimizing generative AI models" refers to making adjustments and improvements to improve the performance of generative AI based on collected feedback data.
[1487] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[1488] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate and deliver personalized advertisements based on user behavioral and emotional data. This system operates primarily between a server and a user's device and is designed to provide a rich, personalized advertising experience.
[1489] Data collection and analysis
[1490] server:
[1491] 1. The server obtains a user identifier using a cookie each time a user visits the website. The user identifier is generated as a unique ID and stored in a database.
[1492] 2. The server then records users' browsing history, click history, search keywords, and other behavioral data in real time, which is then stored in a database such as MongoDB or MySQL along with a timestamp.
[1493] 3. The server reads the user's facial expressions through the camera installed on the user's device and analyzes the emotional data using an emotion engine (for example, Microsoft Azure's Emotion API). The resulting emotion score (for example, joy, sadness, surprise, etc.) is also stored in a database.
[1494] Ad generation
[1495] server:
[1496] 1. The server processes the collected behavioral and emotional data in batches, analyzes the data using a batch processing framework such as Apache Spark, and applies a machine learning model (e.g., a clustering algorithm using scikit-learn) to classify the user's interest categories.
[1497] 2. Send a request to a generative AI (e.g., GPT-3 and DALL-E using OpenAI APIs) to generate ad text and images based on the identified interests and real-time emotional state. Create a prompt like the following: "Generate ad copy with a light tone that corresponds to a relaxed emotional state for users interested in pet products."
[1498] 3. The emotion engine is used to appropriately adjust the tone of the generated ad: if the emotional state is positive, the ad content will be generated with bright images and positive language.
[1499] Ad serving
[1500] server:
[1501] 1. Every time a user visits a web page, the cookie information is analyzed to obtain the user identifier again, and an SQL query is issued to obtain the necessary interest information and emotional state from the user profile database.
[1502] 2. The retrieved ad creative is dynamically embedded into an HTML template and displayed in the user's browser using a web server framework such as Node.js. A template engine (e.g., EJS or Handlebars) is used to embed ad data into HTML.
[1503] Measurement and optimization
[1504] server:
[1505] 1. User responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration, etc.) are monitored in real time and the data is recorded. This is done using the Google Analytics API, which collects user behavior data and stores it in a database.
[1506] 2. Evaluate the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine based on the recorded data. Use Python scripts to calculate the precision and recall of the model, and retrain or tune it as needed to improve the overall advertising effectiveness of the system.
[1507] Specific examples
[1508] For example, if User B reads many articles about pet supplies, the server will use the emotion engine to detect from User B's facial expression that he or she is relaxed while browsing the webpage. Based on this data, the server generates advertising text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" and an image of pet food. The generated advertisement is created using bright colors and positive wording to match User B's relaxed state. This advertisement is then embedded in real time into the webpages visited by User B, attracting User B's interest. When the advertisement is clicked, the server collects click information and uses it as feedback data. Based on this data, the generative AI model and emotion engine are optimized and reflected in future advertisement generation.
[1509] This system makes it possible to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are optimized in real time by integrating user behavioral and emotional data.
[1510] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1511] Program processing flow
[1512] Step 1:
[1513] The server uses cookies to obtain a user identifier each time a user visits a website. It analyzes the information in the cookie (input) and extracts the user identifier (output). It stores this identifier in a database. Specifically, when an HTTP request is received, it reads the value of the HTTP cookie and records it in the database.
[1514] Step 2:
[1515] The server records user behavioral data such as browsing history, click history, and search keywords in real time. First, it monitors user behavior (input), activates an event logger accordingly, and saves the behavioral data (output) in a database. Specifically, it captures user events that occur within a web page (such as clicks and page transitions) and stores that information in MongoDB or MySQL.
[1516] Step 3:
[1517] The server reads the user's facial expression through the camera installed on the user's device and analyzes the emotional data using the emotion engine. The server obtains the user's facial expression image (input), analyzes it, and generates an emotion score (output). Specifically, it sends the image data to the Emotion API in real time and stores the results in a database.
[1518] Step 4:
[1519] The server processes the collected behavioral and emotional data in batches and analyzes the data. The behavioral and emotional data (input) is processed using a batch processing framework such as Apache Spark to identify the user's interest categories (output). Specifically, the server periodically runs a batch job and clusters the data using a machine learning model.
[1520] Step 5:
[1521] The server sends a request to the generation AI to generate ad text and images based on the identified interest information and real-time emotional state. The interest information and emotional state (input) are processed, and ad creative (output) is obtained by sending a prompt to the generation AI. Specifically, the server sends a prompt to the generation AI, such as "Please generate ad copy with a bright tone that corresponds to a relaxed emotional state, targeted at users interested in pet products."
[1522] Step 6:
[1523] The server uses the emotion engine to appropriately adjust the tone of the generated advertisement. It receives the ad creative (input) and modifies the tone depending on the emotional state. Specifically, if the emotional state is positive, it generates an advertisement with bright images and positive wording.
[1524] Step 7:
[1525] The server analyzes the cookie information again each time the user visits a web page to obtain the user identifier. It receives the HTTP request (input) when the web page is visited, analyzes the cookie information, and extracts the user identifier (output). Specifically, it reads the cookie value included in the HTTP request and uses that information to retrieve it from the user profile database.
[1526] Step 8:
[1527] The server dynamically embeds the acquired ad creative into an HTML template and displays it in the user's browser. By embedding the ad creative (input) into the HTML template, an ad-embedded page (output) is generated. Specifically, it uses a template engine (EJS or Handlebars) to insert ad data into the HTML code and sends the generated HTML to the client.
[1528] Step 9:
[1529] The server monitors user responses to delivered ads (click-through rate, duration, etc.) in real time and records the data. It analyzes user behavior data (input) and generates response data (output). Specifically, it uses the Google Analytics API to monitor user activity and stores that data in a database.
[1530] Step 10:
[1531] The server evaluates the performance of the generative AI model and emotion engine based on the recorded data. It analyzes the reaction data (input) and obtains the model evaluation results (output). Specifically, it uses a Python script to calculate the precision and recall of the model and retrain or tune the generative AI model and emotion engine as needed.
[1532] (Application example 2)
[1533] 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."
[1534] Conventional advertising systems typically generate personalized ads based on user behavior data, but they are unable to reflect the user's real-time emotional state. As a result, ads that do not match the user's emotions are sometimes displayed, making effective ad delivery difficult. Furthermore, there was no established method for collecting real-time user emotional data using mobile devices such as smart glasses and reflecting that data in ad generation. Therefore, a new system was needed to maximize the user experience and improve advertising effectiveness.
[1535] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting behavioral data such as a user's browsing history, click history, and search keywords; means for analyzing the collected behavioral data to identify the user's interests; means for using a generation AI to generate advertising text and images based on the interest information and real-time emotional state; means for reading the user's facial expressions from a mobile device such as smart glasses and analyzing the emotional data; means for delivering the generated advertisement to the user's display device; and means for measuring the effectiveness of the delivered advertisement and collecting feedback data for optimizing the generation AI model. This makes it possible to combine the user's behavioral data and real-time emotional data to generate and deliver personalized advertisements that are best suited to the user's situation.

[1550] System Overview
[1551] This invention is a system that uses generative AI to generate and deliver personalized advertisements based on user behavioral and emotional data. This system operates between a server and user devices, collecting and analyzing user behavioral data and real-time emotional data to generate and deliver appropriate advertisements. In addition, the effectiveness of the generated advertisements is collected as feedback, and the system is optimized.
[1552] Hardware and Software Configuration
[1553] The system mainly uses the following hardware and software:
[1554] Server: Hosts and processes databases, analytics engines, and ad generation AI.
[1555] Smart glasses: Captures the user's facial expressions and gaze and transmits the emotional data to a server.
[1556] Emotion Recognition Model: Recognizing emotions from facial expressions using Keras.
[1557] Face detector: Detects the user's face using dlib.
[1558] Generative AI: Generate ad text and images using GPT-3 and DALL-E.
[1559] User device: the device on which the generated advertisement is displayed (e.g. smartphone, PC, smart glasses).
[1560] Data collection and analysis
[1561] The servers collect the websites and pages you visit on the Internet (browsing history), the links and buttons you click (click history), and the words and phrases you enter into search engines (search keywords). This behavioral data is analyzed to identify your interests.
[1562] The smart glasses use built-in cameras and sensors to capture the user's facial expressions and send the data to a server, which then uses an emotion recognition model to analyze the user's emotional state in real time.
[1563] Ad generation
[1564] The server uses generative AI to generate personalized ad text and images based on the collected behavioral and emotional data. For example, if a user is interested in pet supplies and has a relaxed expression, the server generates ad text saying "Specialty pet food discount sale!" and an attractive image of pet food.
[1565] Ad serving
[1566] The generated ads are then delivered to the user's display device, such as the smart glasses display or smartphone screen, and personalized ads are presented in real time based on the user's gaze and emotional state.
[1567] Measurement and optimization
[1568] The server monitors user responses to the delivered ads and collects the data. The collected data is used to evaluate the performance of the generative AI model, and retraining and tuning are performed as necessary. This allows for optimization to improve the effectiveness of the ads.
[1569] Specific examples
[1570] For example, when a user visits a pet shop, the smart glasses identify the user's gaze. If the user shows interest in pet food and has a relaxed expression, the server uses generative AI to generate advertising text such as "Specialty Pet Food Discount Sale!" along with an image of attractive pet food. This advertisement is displayed in real time on the smart glasses' display, hoping to attract the user's attention.
[1571] Example prompt for a generative AI model:
[1572] User behavior data:
[1573] User ID: user123
[1574] Interests: Pet supplies
[1575] Recent activity: Reading a lot of articles about pet supplies
[1576] Real-time sentiment data:
[1577] Emotion: Relaxed
[1578] Generated ad text:
[1579] Text: Special discount sale on select pet foods!
[1580] Color: Bright
[1581] In this way, ads are dynamically generated that are tailored to the user's circumstances and interests, providing an optimal advertising experience.
[1582] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1583] Step 1:
[1584] When a user visits a website on the Internet, the server obtains a user identifier using cookies. The input is the website the user visits and their activities within it, and the output is the user identifier and behavioral data. This allows the user's browsing history, click history, search keywords, etc. to be collected and stored in a database.
[1585] Step 2:
[1586] When a user wears the smart glasses, the camera and sensors in the smart glasses capture the user's facial expressions. The input is the user's real-time facial expression data, and the output is the captured facial image, which is sent to the server.
[1587] Step 3:
[1588] The server runs an emotion recognition model using the received facial expression data. The input is the captured facial expression image, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state. The emotion recognition model (Keras model) analyzes this facial expression data and identifies the user's real-time emotional state.
[1589] Step 4:
[1590] The server sends an ad generation request to the generative AI based on the collected behavioral and emotional data. The input is user interest data and real-time emotional data, and the output is ad text and images. The generative AI (GPT-3 and DALL-E) generates personalized ads based on the user's interests and emotions.
[1591] Step 5:
[1592] The generated advertisement is dynamically embedded into an HTML template by the server. The input is the advertisement text and images, and the output is an advertisement creative appropriate for the user's display device. This allows the advertisement to be displayed where the user sees it through smart glasses or a smartphone.
[1593] Step 6:
[1594] The server monitors how users respond to the displayed ads. The input is user reaction data to the ads (number of clicks, time spent, etc.), and the output is effectiveness measurement data. This allows the performance of the ads to be evaluated in real time.
[1595] Step 7:
[1596] The server retrains or tunes the generative AI model based on the collected effectiveness measurement data. The input is the advertising effectiveness measurement data, and the output is an optimized generative AI model. This allows for optimization that can be expected to produce even greater effectiveness in the next ad generation.
[1597] 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.
[1598] 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.
[1599] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[1600] 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.
[1601] 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.
[1602] 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.
[1603] 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).
[1604] 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.
[1605] 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."
[1606] 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.
[1607] 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).
[1608] 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.
[1609] 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.
[1610] 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.
[1611] 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.
[1612] 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.
[1613] 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.
[1614] 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.
[1615] 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.
