[0139] 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."

[0140] In modern market research, it is important to efficiently generate accurate personas based on user profile information and create survey question lists based on them. However, traditional methods require manually creating personas and building survey question lists, which is time-consuming and costly. Furthermore, the process of analyzing and visualizing survey results is cumbersome, making it difficult to make quick decisions.

[0141] 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.

[0142] In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting desired user profile information; means for automatically generating a persona using a generative AI model based on the user profile information; means for automatically generating a survey question list based on the generated persona; means for providing the survey question list to a user; means for the user to conduct a survey in the form of an online questionnaire or interview; means for aggregating and analyzing the survey results using a data analysis module; and means for visualizing the data analysis results using a visualization module and presenting them to the user. This enables the server to quickly and efficiently generate a persona and survey question list from user profile information, and then analyze, visualize, and provide the results. "User profile information" refers to attribute information entered by the user, such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[0143] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm used to generate detailed personas from input user profile information.

[0144] A "persona" is a fictional user image that is automatically generated based on user profile information using a generative AI model.

[0145] A "survey question list" is a list of questions that are automatically generated based on the needs and challenges of the generated persona.

[0147] A "visualization module" is a software module for visually representing analyzed data.

[0148] An "online survey" is a form of survey conducted via the Internet.

[0149] The "interview format" is a survey format in which data is collected through interviews.

[0150] This invention is a system that automatically generates a persona using a generative AI model based on user profile information and automatically provides a survey question list based on that persona. This system can quickly and efficiently generate a persona and a survey question list from the profile information entered by the user, and then analyze and visualize the results before providing them.

[0151] Hardware and software used

[0152] The main hardware and software required to implement this system are:

[0153] 1. Server: A computer with a high-performance processor and a large amount of memory is required. For example, AWS (Amazon Web Services) or Google Cloud Platform can be used.

[0154] 2. Generative AI models: We need AI models that are specialized for natural language processing and generative tasks, such as OpenAI's GPT-4 model.

[0155] 3. Database: Used to store user profile information, generated personas, survey questions, and survey results. For example, a relational database such as PostgreSQL or MySQL can be used.

[0156] 4. Data analysis module: Survey results are compiled and analyzed using Python's Pandas library and statistical software R.

[0157] 5. Visualization module: Visualize data analysis results using tools such as Python's Matplotlib and Tableau.

[0158] Program processing overview

[0159] 1. User enters persona information

[0160] A user logs in to the system interface and accesses the persona information input screen, where they enter profile information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle, and then clicks the "Submit" button to send the information to the server.

[0161] 2. The server automatically generates personas

[0162] Based on the profile information received by the server, a detailed persona is generated using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4). This process uses the following prompt:

[0163] "We have received the following profile information from a user: Age: 30, Gender: Female, Occupation: Marketing Manager, Nationality: Japanese. Please generate a detailed persona based on this information. The persona should include name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, and challenges."

[0164] The generated personas are stored in a database.

[0165] 3. The server automatically generates a list of survey questions

[0166] Based on the personas generated by the server, a generative AI model is used to automatically generate a list of survey questions, using the following prompts in the process:

[0167] “Generate a list of research questions that will work for this persona. Create questions based on their needs and challenges.”

[0168] The generated survey question list is stored on the server side and provided to the user.

[0169] 4. Users conduct surveys

[0170] Users obtain a list of survey questions provided by the system and conduct the survey in the form of an online questionnaire (e.g., Google Forms) or an interview. After the survey results are collected, they are stored in a database.

[0171] 5. The device aggregates and analyzes the results

[0172] The survey results are analyzed using a data analysis module, such as Python's Pandas library, to clean the data and perform statistical analysis. The analysis results are then visualized in graphs and charts using a visualization module (e.g., Tableau or Matplotlib) and provided to the user.

[0173] Specific examples

[0174] For example, consider a user conducting target market research for a new product. The user logs into the system and enters the following persona information: Age: 30, Gender: Female, Occupation: Marketing Manager, Nationality: Japanese. The server uses this information to generate the following detailed persona using a generative AI model:

[0175] Name: Yamada Hanako (fictional character)

[0176] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[0177] Lifestyle: City work, active weekends

[0178] Values: Health-conscious, efficiency-oriented

[0179] Needs: Seeking efficient tools and services to balance work and personal life

[0180] Challenge: Busy work schedule and limited leisure time

[0181] The server then generates the following list of survey questions based on this persona:

[0182] “How did you learn about new health tools and services?”

[0183] "How often do you devote time to fitness?"

[0184] "What applications and devices do you use to stay healthy efficiently?"

[0185] Users conduct surveys in the form of online questionnaires and collect the results. The terminal analyzes the survey results using the data analysis module and visualizes them in graphs and charts using the visualization module. The analysis results are provided to users to gain more specific market insights.

[0186] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of this system.

[0187] The flow of the specific processing in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 11.

[0188] Step 1:

[0189] The user enters persona information. Specifically, the user logs in to the system interface, accesses the persona information input screen, and enters profile information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle into the form. After completing the input, the user clicks the "Submit" button to send the information to the server. The input data is sent to the server as the user's profile information.

[0190] Input: User persona information (age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, lifestyle, etc.)

[0191] Output: User profile information data sent to the server

[0192] Step 2:

[0193] The server automatically generates a persona. The server receives profile information sent by the user. Based on this information, the server calls the generative AI model to create a prompt sentence and input it into the AI ​​model. The generative AI model generates a detailed persona based on the user's profile information and stores the generated persona data in the server's database.

[0194] Input: User profile information data

[0195] Output: Generated persona data (name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, challenges, etc.)

[0196] Step 3:

[0197] The server automatically generates a list of survey questions. Based on the generated persona data, the server uses a generative AI model to generate a list of survey questions. This prompt sentence is created and input into the generative AI model to generate a list of questions. The generated list of survey questions is stored in the server's database.

[0198] Input: Generated persona data

[0199] Output: Generated survey questionnaire

[0200] Step 4:

[0201] The server provides the survey questionnaire to the user. The server provides a link or download option that the user can access and presents the survey questionnaire to the user. The user retrieves it and saves it in a usable form.

[0202] Input: Generated survey questionnaire list

[0203] Output: Survey questionnaire link or file provided to the user

[0204] Step 5:

[0205] The user conducts the survey. The user receives the survey question list provided by the server and conducts the survey in the form of an online questionnaire (e.g., Google Forms) or an interview. The collected data is then uploaded back to the server by the user.

[0206] Input: Survey Questionnaire

[0207] Output: Collected survey data

[0208] Step 6:

[0209] The server aggregates the survey results and performs analysis on the terminal. The server provides the survey data received from the user to the data analysis module, which aggregates and cleans the data and performs statistical analysis. The results are stored in a database.

[0210] Input: Collected survey data

[0211] Output: Aggregated and analyzed data

[0212] Step 7:

[0213] The terminal visualizes the aggregated and analyzed results, and the server presents them to the user. The terminal uses a visualization module to visualize the aggregated and analyzed data in graphs and charts, which the server presents to the user, providing the visualized results.

[0214] Input: Aggregated and analyzed data

[0215] Output: Visualized data (graphs and charts)

[0216] Based on the specific actions taken at each step and the input / output data, the system can quickly and effectively generate personas and survey question lists from user profile information, analyze and visualize the results, and provide them to users.

[0217] (Application example 1)

[0218] 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."

[0219] In recent years, formulating effective marketing and advertising strategies that take into account diverse user profiles has become difficult and requires a great deal of time and money. Furthermore, there is a lack of methods for accurately grasping the detailed needs and values ​​of target users and automatically designing optimal advertising content and formats based on that. This has led to problems such as advertisers being unable to quickly formulate appropriate strategies, resulting in reduced advertising effectiveness.

[0220] 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.

[0221] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting desired user profile information, a means for automatically generating a persona based on the user profile information, and a means for automatically generating a survey question list based on the generated persona, thereby enabling a target effect.

[0222] By building a system that includes a means for optimizing advertising content and format based on the generated personas and survey question list, it becomes possible to quickly and low-costly develop effective advertising strategies that cater to diverse user profiles.

[0223] "User profile information" is a general term for data that includes attribute information about a specific user, such as age, sex, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[0224] A "persona" is a fictional image of a user that is generated based on user profile information and that reflects in detail the user's typical needs, values, behavioral patterns, and challenges.

[0225] A "survey questionnaire" is a list of questions that includes questions that address the needs, values, and challenges of users based on the generated persona.

[0226] "Means for optimizing advertising content and formats" refers to algorithms and tools that automatically design and select the most effective advertising messages and formats for target users based on the generated personas and survey question lists.

[0227] The "data analysis module" is a software component for aggregating and analyzing survey results, and analyzes data using methods such as statistical analysis and machine learning.

[0228] The "visualization module" is a software component for visually displaying the results of the analysis performed by the data analysis module, and visualizing them in the form of graphs, charts, etc.

[0229] A "generative AI model" is an AI model that automatically generates personas and survey question lists based on user profile information, and uses technologies such as natural language processing.

[0230] An "interface" is an input means or screen that allows a user to input information to a system, or a means for receiving output.

[0231] "Database" means a data storage system for storing and managing survey questionnaires and survey results.

[0232] This invention is a system that automatically generates personas based on user profile information using generation AI and automatically provides a list of survey questions based on the personas in order to conduct user surveys efficiently and at low cost. Advertising content and format can then be optimized based on the generated personas and survey questions. The program and processing required to realize this system are described below.

[0233] First, a user accesses the system and enters user profile information through an interface that is compatible with a variety of devices, including smartphones and head-mounted displays, and allows users to enter information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[0234] The server automatically generates a persona based on the user profile information using a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3). This persona includes details such as name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, and challenges, creating a detailed image of the user.

[0235] The server then automatically generates a survey questionnaire based on the personas. This questionnaire contains specific questions that address the needs, values, and challenges of the target users. The survey questionnaire is then saved in a database for future reference.

[0236] Users can conduct surveys based on a list of survey questions provided by the server. The survey format can be selected, such as an online questionnaire or an interview. The resulting survey data is stored in a database.

[0237] The data analysis module then aggregates the survey data, and the visualization module visualizes the analyzed results, helping users gain insights into the data.

[0238] Furthermore, based on the generated personas and survey question list, the server provides a means to optimize advertising content and formats by using a generative AI model to automatically design and select the most effective advertising messages and formats.

[0239] Examples:

[0240] For example, let's say a marketer for a health food brand launching a new product uses this system to research the target market. The marketer would enter the following profile information:

[0241] Age: 30

[0242] Gender: Female

[0243] Occupation: Marketing Manager

[0244] Nationality: Japanese

[0245] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[0246] Based on this information, the generative AI model generates a persona like this:

[0247] Name: Yamada Hanako (fictional character)

[0248] Lifestyle: City work, active weekends

[0249] Values: Health-conscious, efficiency-oriented

[0250] Based on the persona, a list of survey questions is generated, such as:

[0251] “How did you learn about new health tools and services?”

[0252] "How often do you devote time to fitness?"

[0253] This information provides specific steps and results that generate optimal strategies for optimizing advertising content and formats.

[0254] Example prompt sentence:

[0255] Age: 30

[0256] Gender: Female

[0257] Occupation: Marketing Manager

[0258] Nationality: Japanese

[0259] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[0260] Based on the user profile information above, generate the following persona information:

[0261] name

[0262] hobby

[0263] Lifestyle

[0264] values

[0265] needs

[0266] assignment

[0267] In this way, by using this system, advertisers can efficiently and effectively optimize their targeted advertising.

[0268] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0269] Step 1:

[0272] Output: Retrieved user profile information

[0273] Step 2:

[0274] The server receives the acquired user profile information and passes it to a generative AI model to automatically generate a persona. The generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3) analyzes the input data and generates a persona. This persona includes a fictitious name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, challenges, etc.

[0275] Input: User profile information

[0276] Output: Generated personas

[0277] Data processing: Persona generation using generative AI models

[0278] Step 3:

[0279] The server generates a list of survey questions based on the generated persona, and automatically creates specific survey questions based on the attributes, needs, and issues of the generated persona.

[0280] Input: Generated persona

[0281] Output: Survey Question List

[0282] Data Calculation: Question List Generation Based on Persona Information

[0283] Step 4:

[0284] The server provides the user with a list of survey questions, which are then stored in a database for future reference. The user then selects the survey format (online questionnaire, interview, etc.) based on the provided list of questions.

[0285] Input: Survey Questionnaire

[0286] Output: Provided survey question list

[0287] Specific operation: The user selects the survey format

[0288] Step 5:

[0289] Users conduct surveys in the format of their choice, and the survey results are stored in a database for later analysis.

[0290] Input: Survey response

[0291] Output: Saved survey results

[0292] Specific operation: Saving to the database

[0293] Step 6:

[0294] The server uses a data analysis module to analyze the collected survey results, which extracts user behavior patterns, needs, values, etc.

[0295] Input: Saved Survey Results

[0296] Output: Analysis results

[0297] Data calculations: Analysis of survey results

[0298] Step 7:

[0299] The server visualizes the analysis results through a visualization module, allowing users to receive the analysis results in a visually easy-to-understand format.

[0300] Input: Analysis results

[0301] Output: Visualized analysis results

[0302] Specific behavior: Generating graphs and charts

[0303] Step 8:

[0304] Based on the generated personas and survey question list, the server uses methods to optimize the advertising content and format, utilizing a generative AI model to automatically design and select the optimal advertising message and format for the target.

[0305] Input: Persona, survey question list, analysis results

[0306] Output: Optimized ad content and format

[0307] Data processing: Ad optimization with generative AI models

[0308] Through the above processing steps, this system can accommodate a variety of profiles and can formulate effective advertising strategies at low cost and efficiently.

[0309] 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.

[0548] Program Generation

[0549] The server executes the system program according to the following procedure.

[0550] A natural language description of what the program does

[0551] 1. Enter your user profile information:

[0552] Users log in from a device such as a smartphone or tablet and enter profile information such as their name, age, gender, occupation, hobbies, and lifestyle. This information is accepted through the interface and sent to the server.

[0553] 2. Automatic persona generation:

[0554] Based on the received user profile information, the server uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) to automatically generate a detailed persona, which includes detailed information about the user's hobbies, lifestyle, values, and needs.

[0555] 3. Automatic generation of survey questions:

[0556] The server automatically generates a list of survey questions based on the persona. For example, if the persona is a "30-year-old woman interested in fitness," a survey list containing fitness-related questions will be generated.

[0557] 4. Leveraging the Emotion Engine:

[0558] During the survey, the server activates an emotion engine to collect real-time emotional data from the user's facial expressions and tone of voice, allowing analysis of the emotional state in which the user provided their answers.

[0559] 5. Elaboration and analysis of findings:

[0560] The server uses the collected emotional data to further refine the generated persona information. It also reflects the emotional data in the questions in the survey questionnaire to make more appropriate adjustments. Once the survey is complete, the user's responses are stored in a database and analyzed by the data analysis module.

[0561] 6. Visualizing the results:

[0562] The analysis results are visualized in the form of graphs and charts through the visualization module and provided to users, allowing them to intuitively understand the survey results.

[0563] Specific examples

[0564] For example, a user enters the following profile information:

[0565] Age: 35

[0566] Gender: Male

[0567] Occupation: Software Engineer

[0568] Hobbies: Reading, games

[0569] Lifestyle: Urban areas, many work from home

[0570] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is:

[0571] "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies include reading and gaming, lifestyle is urban, mostly working from home. Please generate a persona based on this information."

[0572] The persona generated in this way can depict a specific character, such as "an engineer who loves games and places importance on ways to relax while working from home." A list of fitness and relaxation-related survey questions is automatically generated based on this persona, and an emotion engine is used to collect and analyze emotional data in real time, allowing for a personalized experience tailored to the user.

[0573] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0574] Step 1:

[0575] A user logs in from a device such as a smartphone or tablet and enters profile information such as name, age, gender, occupation, hobbies, and lifestyle. The entered information is sent to the server through the interface, allowing the server to receive (input) the user profile information. Specifically, the user enters information into a form and presses the "Submit" button.

[0576] Step 2:

[0577] The server automatically generates a detailed persona using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) based on the received user profile information. At this time, it analyzes the input profile information and provides a prompt to the generative AI model (data processing). For example, if the profile information is "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies are reading and gaming," the prompt would be "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies are reading and gaming. Please generate a persona based on this information." The generated persona is returned to the device (output).

[0578] Step 3:

[0579] The server automatically generates a list of survey questions based on the generated persona. At this time, it analyzes the information of the generated persona and generates questions that suit the persona's tastes and needs (data calculation). For example, if the persona is a "30-year-old woman who is interested in fitness," a list including fitness-related questions will be generated. The generated list of survey questions is provided to the terminal (output).

[0580] Step 4:

[0581] The user receives a list of survey questions provided by the terminal. The user conducts the survey based on the list and answers the questions. At this time, the user's answers are sent (input) to the server through the interface. Specifically, the user answers the questions in a questionnaire format and presses the "send" button.

[0582] Step 5:

[0583] The server activates the emotion engine and collects emotional data in real time from the user's facial expressions and tone of voice. The server recognizes the user's emotional state based on the user's input information and interface operations, and stores the analysis results in a database (data calculation). For example, the server collects and analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice when answering questions using a camera or microphone.

[0584] Step 6:

[0585] The server uses the collected emotional data to further refine the generated persona information. Furthermore, it reflects the emotional data in the questions in the survey questionnaire to make more appropriate adjustments (data calculation). For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it changes the questions in the questionnaire to reflect that emotion more gently. The refined persona and the adjusted questionnaire are saved in the database (output).

[0586] Step 7:

[0587] Once the survey is complete, the server collects the responses from users and stores them in a database (input). The server then analyzes the responses using a data analysis module, analyzing the aggregated data and performing statistical processing (data calculations). For example, the response data may be aggregated and analyzed for trends and patterns.

[0588] Step 8:

[0589] The server uses a visualization module to visualize the analysis results. At this time, the analysis results are converted into visual formats such as graphs and charts and provided to the user (output). Specifically, the analysis results are converted into diagrams and charts, and dashboards and reports are generated. This allows the user to intuitively understand the investigation results.

[0590] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0591] 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.

[0592] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific process is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific process may be performed by the smart device 14.

[0709] Example 1

[0710] 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."

[0711] In modern market research, it is important to efficiently generate accurate personas based on user profile information and create survey question lists based on them. However, traditional methods require manually creating personas and building survey question lists, which is time-consuming and costly. Furthermore, the process of analyzing and visualizing survey results is cumbersome, making it difficult to make quick decisions.

[0712] 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.

[0713] In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting desired user profile information; means for automatically generating a persona using a generative AI model based on the user profile information; means for automatically generating a survey question list based on the generated persona; means for providing the survey question list to a user; means for the user to conduct a survey in the form of an online questionnaire or interview; means for aggregating and analyzing the survey results using a data analysis module; and means for visualizing the data analysis results using a visualization module and presenting them to the user. This enables the server to quickly and efficiently generate a persona and survey question list from user profile information, and then analyze, visualize, and provide the results. "User profile information" refers to attribute information entered by the user, such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[0714] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm used to generate detailed personas from input user profile information.

[0715] A "persona" is a fictional user image that is automatically generated based on user profile information using a generative AI model.

[0716] A "survey question list" is a list of questions that are automatically generated based on the needs and challenges of the generated persona.

[0717] "Data Analysis Module" means a software module for analyzing aggregated survey results.

[0718] A "visualization module" is a software module for visually representing analyzed data.

[0719] An "online survey" is a form of survey conducted via the Internet.

[0720] The "interview format" is a survey format in which data is collected through interviews.

[0721] This invention is a system that automatically generates a persona using a generative AI model based on user profile information and automatically provides a survey question list based on that persona. This system can quickly and efficiently generate a persona and a survey question list from the profile information entered by the user, and then analyze and visualize the results before providing them.

[0722] Hardware and software used

[0723] The main hardware and software required to implement this system are:

[0724] 1. Server: A computer with a high-performance processor and a large amount of memory is required. For example, AWS (Amazon Web Services) or Google Cloud Platform can be used.

[0725] 2. Generative AI models: We need AI models that are specialized for natural language processing and generative tasks, such as OpenAI's GPT-4 model.

[0726] 3. Database: Used to store user profile information, generated personas, survey questions, and survey results. For example, a relational database such as PostgreSQL or MySQL can be used.

[0727] 4. Data analysis module: Survey results are compiled and analyzed using Python's Pandas library and statistical software R.

[0728] 5. Visualization module: Visualize data analysis results using tools such as Python's Matplotlib and Tableau.

[0729] Program processing overview

[0730] 1. User enters persona information

[0731] A user logs in to the system interface and accesses the persona information input screen, where they enter profile information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle, and then clicks the "Submit" button to send the information to the server.

[0732] 2. The server automatically generates personas

[0733] Based on the profile information received by the server, a detailed persona is generated using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4). This process uses the following prompt:

[0734] "We have received the following profile information from a user: Age: 30, Gender: Female, Occupation: Marketing Manager, Nationality: Japanese. Please generate a detailed persona based on this information. The persona should include name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, and challenges."

[0735] The generated personas are stored in a database.

[0736] 3. The server automatically generates a list of survey questions

[0737] Based on the personas generated by the server, a generative AI model is used to automatically generate a list of survey questions, using the following prompts in the process:

[0738] “Generate a list of research questions that will work for this persona. Create questions based on their needs and challenges.”

[0739] The generated survey question list is stored on the server side and provided to the user.

[0740] 4. Users conduct surveys

[0741] Users obtain a list of survey questions provided by the system and conduct the survey in the form of an online questionnaire (e.g., Google Forms) or an interview. After the survey results are collected, they are stored in a database.

[0742] 5. The device aggregates and analyzes the results

[0743] The survey results are analyzed using a data analysis module, such as Python's Pandas library, to clean the data and perform statistical analysis. The analysis results are then visualized in graphs and charts using a visualization module (e.g., Tableau or Matplotlib) and provided to the user.

[0744] Specific examples

[0745] For example, consider a user conducting target market research for a new product. The user logs into the system and enters the following persona information: Age: 30, Gender: Female, Occupation: Marketing Manager, Nationality: Japanese. The server uses this information to generate the following detailed persona using a generative AI model:

[0746] Name: Yamada Hanako (fictional character)

[0747] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[0748] Lifestyle: City work, active weekends

[0749] Values: Health-conscious, efficiency-oriented

[0750] Needs: Seeking efficient tools and services to balance work and personal life

[0751] Challenge: Busy work schedule and limited leisure time

[0752] The server then generates the following list of survey questions based on this persona:

[0753] “How did you learn about new health tools and services?”

[0754] "How often do you devote time to fitness?"

[0755] "What applications and devices do you use to stay healthy efficiently?"

[0756] Users conduct surveys in the form of online questionnaires and collect the results. The terminal analyzes the survey results using the data analysis module and visualizes them in graphs and charts using the visualization module. The analysis results are provided to users to gain more specific market insights.

[0757] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of this system.

[0758] The flow of the specific processing in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 11.

[0759] Step 1:

[0760] The user enters persona information. Specifically, the user logs in to the system interface, accesses the persona information input screen, and enters profile information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle into the form. After completing the input, the user clicks the "Submit" button to send the information to the server. The input data is sent to the server as the user's profile information.

[0761] Input: User persona information (age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, lifestyle, etc.)

[0762] Output: User profile information data sent to the server

[0763] Step 2:

[0764] The server automatically generates a persona. The server receives profile information sent by the user. Based on this information, the server calls the generative AI model to create a prompt sentence and input it into the AI ​​model. The generative AI model generates a detailed persona based on the user's profile information and stores the generated persona data in the server's database.

[0765] Input: User profile information data

[0766] Output: Generated persona data (name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, challenges, etc.)

[0767] Step 3:

[0768] The server automatically generates a list of survey questions. Based on the generated persona data, the server uses a generative AI model to generate a list of survey questions. This prompt sentence is created and input into the generative AI model to generate a list of questions. The generated list of survey questions is stored in the server's database.

[0769] Input: Generated persona data

[0770] Output: Generated survey questionnaire

[0771] Step 4:

[0772] The server provides the survey questionnaire to the user. The server provides a link or download option that the user can access and presents the survey questionnaire to the user. The user retrieves it and saves it in a usable form.

[0773] Input: Generated survey questionnaire list

[0774] Output: Survey questionnaire link or file provided to the user

[0775] Step 5:

[0776] The user conducts the survey. The user receives the survey question list provided by the server and conducts the survey in the form of an online questionnaire (e.g., Google Forms) or an interview. The collected data is then uploaded back to the server by the user.

[0777] Input: Survey Questionnaire

[0778] Output: Collected survey data

[0779] Step 6:

[0780] The server aggregates the survey results and performs analysis on the terminal. The server provides the survey data received from the user to the data analysis module, which aggregates and cleans the data and performs statistical analysis. The results are stored in a database.

[0781] Input: Collected survey data

[0782] Output: Aggregated and analyzed data

[0783] Step 7:

[0784] The terminal visualizes the aggregated and analyzed results, and the server presents them to the user. The terminal uses a visualization module to visualize the aggregated and analyzed data in graphs and charts, which the server presents to the user, providing the visualized results.

[0785] Input: Aggregated and analyzed data

[0786] Output: Visualized data (graphs and charts)

[0787] Based on the specific actions taken at each step and the input / output data, the system can quickly and effectively generate personas and survey question lists from user profile information, analyze and visualize the results, and provide them to users.

[0788] (Application example 1)

[0789] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0790] In recent years, formulating effective marketing and advertising strategies that take into account diverse user profiles has become difficult and requires a great deal of time and money. Furthermore, there is a lack of methods for accurately grasping the detailed needs and values ​​of target users and automatically designing optimal advertising content and formats based on that. This has led to problems such as advertisers being unable to quickly formulate appropriate strategies, resulting in reduced advertising effectiveness.

[0791] 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.

[0792] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting desired user profile information, a means for automatically generating a persona based on the user profile information, and a means for automatically generating a survey question list based on the generated persona, thereby enabling a target effect.

[0793] By building a system that includes a means for optimizing advertising content and format based on the generated personas and survey question list, it becomes possible to quickly and low-costly develop effective advertising strategies that cater to diverse user profiles.

[0794] "User profile information" is a general term for data that includes attribute information about a specific user, such as age, sex, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[0795] A "persona" is a fictional image of a user that is generated based on user profile information and that reflects in detail the user's typical needs, values, behavioral patterns, and challenges.

[0796] A "survey questionnaire" is a list of questions that includes questions that address the needs, values, and challenges of users based on the generated persona.

[0797] "Means for optimizing advertising content and formats" refers to algorithms and tools that automatically design and select the most effective advertising messages and formats for target users based on the generated personas and survey question lists.

[0798] The "data analysis module" is a software component for aggregating and analyzing survey results, and analyzes data using methods such as statistical analysis and machine learning.

[0799] The "visualization module" is a software component for visually displaying the results of the analysis performed by the data analysis module, and visualizing them in the form of graphs, charts, etc.

[0800] A "generative AI model" is an AI model that automatically generates personas and survey question lists based on user profile information, and uses technologies such as natural language processing.

[0801] An "interface" is an input means or screen that allows a user to input information to a system, or a means for receiving output.

[0802] "Database" means a data storage system for storing and managing survey questionnaires and survey results.

[0803] This invention is a system that automatically generates personas based on user profile information using generation AI and automatically provides a list of survey questions based on the personas in order to conduct user surveys efficiently and at low cost. Advertising content and format can then be optimized based on the generated personas and survey questions. The program and processing required to realize this system are described below.

[0804] First, a user accesses the system and enters user profile information through an interface that is compatible with a variety of devices, including smartphones and head-mounted displays, and allows users to enter information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[0805] The server automatically generates a persona based on the user profile information using a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3). This persona includes details such as name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, and challenges, creating a detailed image of the user.

[0806] The server then automatically generates a survey questionnaire based on the personas. This questionnaire contains specific questions that address the needs, values, and challenges of the target users. The survey questionnaire is then saved in a database for future reference.

[0807] Users can conduct surveys based on a list of survey questions provided by the server. The survey format can be selected, such as an online questionnaire or an interview. The resulting survey data is stored in a database.

[0808] The data analysis module then aggregates the survey data, and the visualization module visualizes the analyzed results, helping users gain insights into the data.

[0809] Furthermore, based on the generated personas and survey question list, the server provides a means to optimize advertising content and formats by using a generative AI model to automatically design and select the most effective advertising messages and formats.

[0810] Examples:

[0811] For example, let's say a marketer for a health food brand launching a new product uses this system to research the target market. The marketer would enter the following profile information:

[0812] Age: 30

[0813] Gender: Female

[0814] Occupation: Marketing Manager

[0815] Nationality: Japanese

[0816] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[0817] Based on this information, the generative AI model generates a persona like this:

[0818] Name: Yamada Hanako (fictional character)

[0819] Lifestyle: City work, active weekends

[0820] Values: Health-conscious, efficiency-oriented

[0821] Based on the persona, a list of survey questions is generated, such as:

[0822] “How did you learn about new health tools and services?”

[0823] "How often do you devote time to fitness?"

[0824] This information provides specific steps and results that generate optimal strategies for optimizing advertising content and formats.

[0825] Example prompt sentence:

[0826] Age: 30

[0827] Gender: Female

[0828] Occupation: Marketing Manager

[0829] Nationality: Japanese

[0830] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[0831] Based on the user profile information above, generate the following persona information:

[0832] name

[0833] hobby

[0834] Lifestyle

[0835] values

[0836] needs

[0837] assignment

[0838] In this way, by using this system, advertisers can efficiently and effectively optimize their targeted advertising.

[0839] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0840] Step 1:

[0843] Output: Retrieved user profile information

[0844] Step 2:

[0845] The server receives the acquired user profile information and passes it to a generative AI model to automatically generate a persona. The generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3) analyzes the input data and generates a persona. This persona includes a fictitious name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, challenges, etc.

[0846] Input: User profile information

[0847] Output: Generated personas

[0848] Data processing: Persona generation using generative AI models

[0849] Step 3:

[0850] The server generates a list of survey questions based on the generated persona, and automatically creates specific survey questions based on the attributes, needs, and issues of the generated persona.

[0851] Input: Generated persona

[0852] Output: Survey Question List

[0853] Data Calculation: Question List Generation Based on Persona Information

[0854] Step 4:

[0855] The server provides the user with a list of survey questions, which are then stored in a database for future reference. The user then selects the survey format (online questionnaire, interview, etc.) based on the provided list of questions.

[0856] Input: Survey Questionnaire

[0857] Output: Provided survey question list

[0858] Specific operation: The user selects the survey format

[0859] Step 5:

[0860] Users conduct surveys in the format of their choice, and the survey results are stored in a database for later analysis.

[0861] Input: Survey response

[0862] Output: Saved survey results

[0863] Specific operation: Saving to the database

[0864] Step 6:

[0865] The server uses a data analysis module to analyze the collected survey results, which extracts user behavior patterns, needs, values, etc.

[0866] Input: Saved Survey Results

[0867] Output: Analysis results

[0868] Data calculations: Analysis of survey results

[0869] Step 7:

[0870] The server visualizes the analysis results through a visualization module, allowing users to receive the analysis results in a visually easy-to-understand format.

[0871] Input: Analysis results

[0872] Output: Visualized analysis results

[0873] Specific behavior: Generating graphs and charts

[0874] Step 8:

[0875] Based on the generated personas and survey question list, the server uses methods to optimize the advertising content and format, utilizing a generative AI model to automatically design and select the optimal advertising message and format for the target.

[0876] Input: Persona, survey question list, analysis results

[0877] Output: Optimized ad content and format

[0878] Data processing: Ad optimization with generative AI models

[0879] Through the above processing steps, this system can accommodate a variety of profiles and can formulate effective advertising strategies at low cost and efficiently.

[0880] 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.

[1126] 3. Automatic generation of survey questions:

[1127] The server automatically generates a list of survey questions based on the persona. For example, if the persona is a "30-year-old woman interested in fitness," a survey list containing fitness-related questions will be generated.

[1128] 4. Leveraging the Emotion Engine:

[1129] During the survey, the server activates an emotion engine to collect real-time emotional data from the user's facial expressions and tone of voice, allowing analysis of the emotional state in which the user provided their answers.

[1130] 5. Elaboration and analysis of findings:

[1131] The server uses the collected emotional data to further refine the generated persona information. It also reflects the emotional data in the questions in the survey questionnaire to make more appropriate adjustments. Once the survey is complete, the user's responses are stored in a database and analyzed by the data analysis module.

[1132] 6. Visualizing the results:

[1133] The analysis results are visualized in the form of graphs and charts through the visualization module and provided to users, allowing them to intuitively understand the survey results.

[1134] Specific examples

[1135] For example, a user enters the following profile information:

[1136] Age: 35

[1137] Gender: Male

[1138] Occupation: Software Engineer

[1139] Hobbies: Reading, games

[1140] Lifestyle: Urban areas, many work from home

[1141] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is:

[1142] "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies include reading and gaming, lifestyle is urban, mostly working from home. Please generate a persona based on this information."

[1143] The persona generated in this way can depict a specific character, such as "an engineer who loves games and places importance on ways to relax while working from home." A list of fitness and relaxation-related survey questions is automatically generated based on this persona, and an emotion engine is used to collect and analyze emotional data in real time, allowing for a personalized experience tailored to the user.

[1144] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1145] Step 1:

[1146] A user logs in from a device such as a smartphone or tablet and enters profile information such as name, age, gender, occupation, hobbies, and lifestyle. The entered information is sent to the server through the interface, allowing the server to receive (input) the user profile information. Specifically, the user enters information into a form and presses the "Submit" button.

[1147] Step 2:

[1148] The server automatically generates a detailed persona using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) based on the received user profile information. At this time, it analyzes the input profile information and provides a prompt to the generative AI model (data processing). For example, if the profile information is "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies are reading and gaming," the prompt would be "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies are reading and gaming. Please generate a persona based on this information." The generated persona is returned to the device (output).

[1149] Step 3:

[1150] The server automatically generates a list of survey questions based on the generated persona. At this time, it analyzes the information of the generated persona and generates questions that suit the persona's tastes and needs (data calculation). For example, if the persona is a "30-year-old woman who is interested in fitness," a list including fitness-related questions will be generated. The generated list of survey questions is provided to the terminal (output).

[1151] Step 4:

[1152] The user receives a list of survey questions provided by the terminal. The user conducts the survey based on the list and answers the questions. At this time, the user's answers are sent (input) to the server through the interface. Specifically, the user answers the questions in a questionnaire format and presses the "send" button.

[1153] Step 5:

[1154] The server activates the emotion engine and collects emotional data in real time from the user's facial expressions and tone of voice. The server recognizes the user's emotional state based on the user's input information and interface operations, and stores the analysis results in a database (data calculation). For example, the server collects and analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice when answering questions using a camera or microphone.

[1155] Step 6:

[1156] The server uses the collected emotional data to further refine the generated persona information. Furthermore, it reflects the emotional data in the questions in the survey questionnaire to make more appropriate adjustments (data calculation). For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it changes the questions in the questionnaire to reflect that emotion more gently. The refined persona and the adjusted questionnaire are saved in the database (output).

[1157] Step 7:

[1158] Once the survey is complete, the server collects the responses from users and stores them in a database (input). The server then analyzes the responses using a data analysis module, analyzing the aggregated data and performing statistical processing (data calculations). For example, the response data may be aggregated and analyzed for trends and patterns.

[1159] Step 8:

[1160] The server uses a visualization module to visualize the analysis results. At this time, the analysis results are converted into visual formats such as graphs and charts and provided to the user (output). Specifically, the analysis results are converted into diagrams and charts, and dashboards and reports are generated. This allows the user to intuitively understand the investigation results.

[1161] 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.

[1162] 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.

[1163] 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.

[1281] 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."

[1282] In modern market research, it is important to efficiently generate accurate personas based on user profile information and create survey question lists based on them. However, traditional methods require manually creating personas and building survey question lists, which is time-consuming and costly. Furthermore, the process of analyzing and visualizing survey results is cumbersome, making it difficult to make quick decisions.

[1283] 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.

[1284] In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting desired user profile information; means for automatically generating a persona using a generative AI model based on the user profile information; means for automatically generating a survey question list based on the generated persona; means for providing the survey question list to a user; means for the user to conduct a survey in the form of an online questionnaire or interview; means for aggregating and analyzing the survey results using a data analysis module; and means for visualizing the data analysis results using a visualization module and presenting them to the user. This enables the server to quickly and efficiently generate a persona and survey question list from user profile information, and then analyze, visualize, and provide the results. "User profile information" refers to attribute information entered by the user, such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[1285] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm used to generate detailed personas from input user profile information.

[1286] A "persona" is a fictional user image that is automatically generated based on user profile information using a generative AI model.

[1287] A "survey question list" is a list of questions that are automatically generated based on the needs and challenges of the generated persona.

[1288] "Data Analysis Module" means a software module for analyzing aggregated survey results.

[1289] A "visualization module" is a software module for visually representing analyzed data.

[1290] An "online survey" is a form of survey conducted via the Internet.

[1291] The "interview format" is a survey format in which data is collected through interviews.

[1292] This invention is a system that automatically generates a persona using a generative AI model based on user profile information and automatically provides a survey question list based on that persona. This system can quickly and efficiently generate a persona and a survey question list from the profile information entered by the user, and then analyze and visualize the results before providing them.

[1293] Hardware and software used

[1294] The main hardware and software required to implement this system are:

[1295] 1. Server: A computer with a high-performance processor and a large amount of memory is required. For example, AWS (Amazon Web Services) or Google Cloud Platform can be used.

[1296] 2. Generative AI models: We need AI models that are specialized for natural language processing and generative tasks, such as OpenAI's GPT-4 model.

[1297] 3. Database: Used to store user profile information, generated personas, survey questions, and survey results. For example, a relational database such as PostgreSQL or MySQL can be used.

[1298] 4. Data analysis module: Survey results are compiled and analyzed using Python's Pandas library and statistical software R.

[1299] 5. Visualization module: Visualize data analysis results using tools such as Python's Matplotlib and Tableau.

[1300] Program processing overview

[1301] 1. User enters persona information

[1302] A user logs in to the system interface and accesses the persona information input screen, where they enter profile information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle, and then clicks the "Submit" button to send the information to the server.

[1303] 2. The server automatically generates personas

[1304] Based on the profile information received by the server, a detailed persona is generated using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4). This process uses the following prompt:

[1305] "We have received the following profile information from a user: Age: 30, Gender: Female, Occupation: Marketing Manager, Nationality: Japanese. Please generate a detailed persona based on this information. The persona should include name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, and challenges."

[1306] The generated personas are stored in a database.

[1307] 3. The server automatically generates a list of survey questions

[1308] Based on the personas generated by the server, a generative AI model is used to automatically generate a list of survey questions, using the following prompts in the process:

[1309] “Generate a list of research questions that will work for this persona. Create questions based on their needs and challenges.”

[1310] The generated survey question list is stored on the server side and provided to the user.

[1311] 4. Users conduct surveys

[1312] Users obtain a list of survey questions provided by the system and conduct the survey in the form of an online questionnaire (e.g., Google Forms) or an interview. After the survey results are collected, they are stored in a database.

[1313] 5. The device aggregates and analyzes the results

[1314] The survey results are analyzed using a data analysis module, such as Python's Pandas library, to clean the data and perform statistical analysis. The analysis results are then visualized in graphs and charts using a visualization module (e.g., Tableau or Matplotlib) and provided to the user.

[1315] Specific examples

[1316] For example, consider a user conducting target market research for a new product. The user logs into the system and enters the following persona information: Age: 30, Gender: Female, Occupation: Marketing Manager, Nationality: Japanese. The server uses this information to generate the following detailed persona using a generative AI model:

[1317] Name: Yamada Hanako (fictional character)

[1318] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[1319] Lifestyle: City work, active weekends

[1320] Values: Health-conscious, efficiency-oriented

[1321] Needs: Seeking efficient tools and services to balance work and personal life

[1322] Challenge: Busy work schedule and limited leisure time

[1323] The server then generates the following list of survey questions based on this persona:

[1324] “How did you learn about new health tools and services?”

[1325] "How often do you devote time to fitness?"

[1326] "What applications and devices do you use to stay healthy efficiently?"

[1327] Users conduct surveys in the form of online questionnaires and collect the results. The terminal analyzes the survey results using the data analysis module and visualizes them in graphs and charts using the visualization module. The analysis results are provided to users to gain more specific market insights.

[1328] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of this system.

[1329] The flow of the specific processing in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 11.

[1330] Step 1:

[1331] The user enters persona information. Specifically, the user logs in to the system interface, accesses the persona information input screen, and enters profile information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle into the form. After completing the input, the user clicks the "Submit" button to send the information to the server. The input data is sent to the server as the user's profile information.

[1332] Input: User persona information (age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, lifestyle, etc.)

[1333] Output: User profile information data sent to the server

[1334] Step 2:

[1335] The server automatically generates a persona. The server receives profile information sent by the user. Based on this information, the server calls the generative AI model to create a prompt sentence and input it into the AI ​​model. The generative AI model generates a detailed persona based on the user's profile information and stores the generated persona data in the server's database.

[1336] Input: User profile information data

[1337] Output: Generated persona data (name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, challenges, etc.)

[1338] Step 3:

[1339] The server automatically generates a list of survey questions. Based on the generated persona data, the server uses a generative AI model to generate a list of survey questions. This prompt sentence is created and input into the generative AI model to generate a list of questions. The generated list of survey questions is stored in the server's database.

[1340] Input: Generated persona data

[1341] Output: Generated survey questionnaire

[1342] Step 4:

[1343] The server provides the survey questionnaire to the user. The server provides a link or download option that the user can access and presents the survey questionnaire to the user. The user retrieves it and saves it in a usable form.

[1344] Input: Generated survey questionnaire list

[1345] Output: Survey questionnaire link or file provided to the user

[1346] Step 5:

[1347] The user conducts the survey. The user receives the survey question list provided by the server and conducts the survey in the form of an online questionnaire (e.g., Google Forms) or an interview. The collected data is then uploaded back to the server by the user.

[1348] Input: Survey Questionnaire

[1349] Output: Collected survey data

[1350] Step 6:

[1351] The server aggregates the survey results and performs analysis on the terminal. The server provides the survey data received from the user to the data analysis module, which aggregates and cleans the data and performs statistical analysis. The results are stored in a database.

[1352] Input: Collected survey data

[1353] Output: Aggregated and analyzed data

[1354] Step 7:

[1355] The terminal visualizes the aggregated and analyzed results, and the server presents them to the user. The terminal uses a visualization module to visualize the aggregated and analyzed data in graphs and charts, which the server presents to the user, providing the visualized results.

[1356] Input: Aggregated and analyzed data

[1357] Output: Visualized data (graphs and charts)

[1358] Based on the specific actions taken at each step and the input / output data, the system can quickly and effectively generate personas and survey question lists from user profile information, analyze and visualize the results, and provide them to users.

[1359] (Application example 1)

[1360] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1361] In recent years, formulating effective marketing and advertising strategies that take into account diverse user profiles has become difficult and requires a great deal of time and money. Furthermore, there is a lack of methods for accurately grasping the detailed needs and values ​​of target users and automatically designing optimal advertising content and formats based on that. This has led to problems such as advertisers being unable to quickly formulate appropriate strategies, resulting in reduced advertising effectiveness.

[1362] 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.

[1363] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting desired user profile information, a means for automatically generating a persona based on the user profile information, and a means for automatically generating a survey question list based on the generated persona, thereby enabling a target effect.

[1364] By building a system that includes a means for optimizing advertising content and format based on the generated personas and survey question list, it becomes possible to quickly and low-costly develop effective advertising strategies that cater to diverse user profiles.

[1365] "User profile information" is a general term for data that includes attribute information about a specific user, such as age, sex, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[1366] A "persona" is a fictional image of a user that is generated based on user profile information and that reflects in detail the user's typical needs, values, behavioral patterns, and challenges.

[1367] A "survey questionnaire" is a list of questions that includes questions that address the needs, values, and challenges of users based on the generated persona.

[1368] "Means for optimizing advertising content and formats" refers to algorithms and tools that automatically design and select the most effective advertising messages and formats for target users based on the generated personas and survey question lists.

[1369] The "data analysis module" is a software component for aggregating and analyzing survey results, and analyzes data using methods such as statistical analysis and machine learning.

[1370] The "visualization module" is a software component for visually displaying the results of the analysis performed by the data analysis module, and visualizing them in the form of graphs, charts, etc.

[1371] A "generative AI model" is an AI model that automatically generates personas and survey question lists based on user profile information, and uses technologies such as natural language processing.

[1372] An "interface" is an input means or screen that allows a user to input information to a system, or a means for receiving output.

[1373] "Database" means a data storage system for storing and managing survey questionnaires and survey results.

[1374] This invention is a system that automatically generates personas based on user profile information using generation AI and automatically provides a list of survey questions based on the personas in order to conduct user surveys efficiently and at low cost. Advertising content and format can then be optimized based on the generated personas and survey questions. The program and processing required to realize this system are described below.

[1375] First, a user accesses the system and enters user profile information through an interface that is compatible with a variety of devices, including smartphones and head-mounted displays, and allows users to enter information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[1376] The server automatically generates a persona based on the user profile information using a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3). This persona includes details such as name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, and challenges, creating a detailed image of the user.

[1377] The server then automatically generates a survey questionnaire based on the personas. This questionnaire contains specific questions that address the needs, values, and challenges of the target users. The survey questionnaire is then saved in a database for future reference.

[1378] Users can conduct surveys based on a list of survey questions provided by the server. The survey format can be selected, such as an online questionnaire or an interview. The resulting survey data is stored in a database.

[1379] The data analysis module then aggregates the survey data, and the visualization module visualizes the analyzed results, helping users gain insights into the data.

[1380] Furthermore, based on the generated personas and survey question list, the server provides a means to optimize advertising content and formats by using a generative AI model to automatically design and select the most effective advertising messages and formats.

[1381] Examples:

[1382] For example, let's say a marketer for a health food brand launching a new product uses this system to research the target market. The marketer would enter the following profile information:

[1383] Age: 30

[1384] Gender: Female

[1385] Occupation: Marketing Manager

[1386] Nationality: Japanese

[1387] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[1388] Based on this information, the generative AI model generates a persona like this:

[1389] Name: Yamada Hanako (fictional character)

[1390] Lifestyle: City work, active weekends

[1391] Values: Health-conscious, efficiency-oriented

[1392] Based on the persona, a list of survey questions is generated, such as:

[1393] “How did you learn about new health tools and services?”

[1394] "How often do you devote time to fitness?"

[1395] This information provides specific steps and results that generate optimal strategies for optimizing advertising content and formats.

[1396] Example prompt sentence:

[1397] Age: 30

[1398] Gender: Female

[1399] Occupation: Marketing Manager

[1400] Nationality: Japanese

[1401] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[1402] Based on the user profile information above, generate the following persona information:

[1403] name

[1404] hobby

[1405] Lifestyle

[1406] values

[1407] needs

[1408] assignment

[1409] In this way, by using this system, advertisers can efficiently and effectively optimize their targeted advertising.

[1410] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1411] Step 1:

[1412] A user logs in to the system and enters user profile information through the interface, including age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, lifestyle, etc., so that the system can obtain the required profile data.

[1413] Input: User profile information (age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, lifestyle)

[1414] Output: Retrieved user profile information

[1415] Step 2:

[1416] The server receives the acquired user profile information and passes it to a generative AI model to automatically generate a persona. The generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3) analyzes the input data and generates a persona. This persona includes a fictitious name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, challenges, etc.

[1417] Input: User profile information

[1418] Output: Generated personas

[1419] Data processing: Persona generation using generative AI models

[1420] Step 3:

[1421] The server generates a list of survey questions based on the generated persona, and automatically creates specific survey questions based on the attributes, needs, and issues of the generated persona.

[1422] Input: Generated persona

[1423] Output: Survey Question List

[1424] Data Calculation: Question List Generation Based on Persona Information

[1425] Step 4:

[1426] The server provides the user with a list of survey questions, which are then stored in a database for future reference. The user then selects the survey format (online questionnaire, interview, etc.) based on the provided list of questions.

[1427] Input: Survey Questionnaire

[1428] Output: Provided survey question list

[1429] Specific operation: The user selects the survey format

[1430] Step 5:

[1431] Users conduct surveys in the format of their choice, and the survey results are stored in a database for later analysis.

[1432] Input: Survey response

[1433] Output: Saved survey results

[1434] Specific operation: Saving to the database

[1435] Step 6:

[1436] The server uses a data analysis module to analyze the collected survey results, which extracts user behavior patterns, needs, values, etc.

[1437] Input: Saved Survey Results

[1438] Output: Analysis results

[1439] Data calculations: Analysis of survey results

[1440] Step 7:

[1441] The server visualizes the analysis results through a visualization module, allowing users to receive the analysis results in a visually easy-to-understand format.

[1442] Input: Analysis results

[1443] Output: Visualized analysis results

[1444] Specific behavior: Generating graphs and charts

[1445] Step 8:

[1446] Based on the generated personas and survey question list, the server uses methods to optimize the advertising content and format, utilizing a generative AI model to automatically design and select the optimal advertising message and format for the target.

[1447] Input: Persona, survey question list, analysis results

[1448] Output: Optimized ad content and format

[1449] Data processing: Ad optimization with generative AI models

[1450] Through the above processing steps, this system can accommodate a variety of profiles and can formulate effective advertising strategies at low cost and efficiently.

[1451] 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.

[1701] 5. Elaboration and analysis of findings:

[1702] The server uses the collected emotional data to further refine the generated persona information. It also reflects the emotional data in the questions in the survey questionnaire to make more appropriate adjustments. Once the survey is complete, the user's responses are stored in a database and analyzed by the data analysis module.

[1703] 6. Visualizing the results:

[1704] The analysis results are visualized in the form of graphs and charts through the visualization module and provided to users, allowing them to intuitively understand the survey results.

[1705] Specific examples

[1706] For example, a user enters the following profile information:

[1707] Age: 35

[1708] Gender: Male

[1709] Occupation: Software Engineer

[1710] Hobbies: Reading, games

[1711] Lifestyle: Urban areas, many work from home

[1712] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is:

[1713] "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies include reading and gaming, lifestyle is urban, mostly working from home. Please generate a persona based on this information."

[1714] The persona generated in this way can depict a specific character, such as "an engineer who loves games and places importance on ways to relax while working from home." A list of fitness and relaxation-related survey questions is automatically generated based on this persona, and an emotion engine is used to collect and analyze emotional data in real time, allowing for a personalized experience tailored to the user.

[1715] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1716] Step 1:

[1717] A user logs in from a device such as a smartphone or tablet and enters profile information such as name, age, gender, occupation, hobbies, and lifestyle. The entered information is sent to the server through the interface, allowing the server to receive (input) the user profile information. Specifically, the user enters information into a form and presses the "Submit" button.

[1718] Step 2:

[1719] The server automatically generates a detailed persona using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) based on the received user profile information. At this time, it analyzes the input profile information and provides a prompt to the generative AI model (data processing). For example, if the profile information is "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies are reading and gaming," the prompt would be "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies are reading and gaming. Please generate a persona based on this information." The generated persona is returned to the device (output).

[1720] Step 3:

[1721] The server automatically generates a list of survey questions based on the generated persona. At this time, it analyzes the information of the generated persona and generates questions that suit the persona's tastes and needs (data calculation). For example, if the persona is a "30-year-old woman who is interested in fitness," a list including fitness-related questions will be generated. The generated list of survey questions is provided to the terminal (output).

[1722] Step 4:

[1723] The user receives a list of survey questions provided by the terminal. The user conducts the survey based on the list and answers the questions. At this time, the user's answers are sent (input) to the server through the interface. Specifically, the user answers the questions in a questionnaire format and presses the "send" button.

[1724] Step 5:

[1725] The server activates the emotion engine and collects emotional data in real time from the user's facial expressions and tone of voice. The server recognizes the user's emotional state based on the user's input information and interface operations, and stores the analysis results in a database (data calculation). For example, the server collects and analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice when answering questions using a camera or microphone.

[1726] Step 6:

[1727] The server uses the collected emotional data to further refine the generated persona information. Furthermore, it reflects the emotional data in the questions in the survey questionnaire to make more appropriate adjustments (data calculation). For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it changes the questions in the questionnaire to reflect that emotion more gently. The refined persona and the adjusted questionnaire are saved in the database (output).

[1728] Step 7:

[1729] Once the survey is complete, the server collects the responses from users and stores them in a database (input). The server then analyzes the responses using a data analysis module, analyzing the aggregated data and performing statistical processing (data calculations). For example, the response data may be aggregated and analyzed for trends and patterns.

[1730] Step 8:

[1731] The server uses a visualization module to visualize the analysis results. At this time, the analysis results are converted into visual formats such as graphs and charts and provided to the user (output). Specifically, the analysis results are converted into diagrams and charts, and dashboards and reports are generated. This allows the user to intuitively understand the investigation results.

[1732] 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.

[1733] 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.

[1734] 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.

[1856] In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting desired user profile information; means for automatically generating a persona using a generative AI model based on the user profile information; means for automatically generating a survey question list based on the generated persona; means for providing the survey question list to a user; means for the user to conduct a survey in the form of an online questionnaire or interview; means for aggregating and analyzing the survey results using a data analysis module; and means for visualizing the data analysis results using a visualization module and presenting them to the user. This enables the server to quickly and efficiently generate a persona and survey question list from user profile information, and then analyze, visualize, and provide the results. "User profile information" refers to attribute information entered by the user, such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[1857] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm used to generate detailed personas from input user profile information.

[1858] A "persona" is a fictional user image that is automatically generated based on user profile information using a generative AI model.

[1859] A "survey question list" is a list of questions that are automatically generated based on the needs and challenges of the generated persona.

[1860] "Data Analysis Module" means a software module for analyzing aggregated survey results.

[1861] A "visualization module" is a software module for visually representing analyzed data.

[1862] An "online survey" is a form of survey conducted via the Internet.

[1863] The "interview format" is a survey format in which data is collected through interviews.

[1864] This invention is a system that automatically generates a persona using a generative AI model based on user profile information and automatically provides a survey question list based on that persona. This system can quickly and efficiently generate a persona and a survey question list from the profile information entered by the user, and then analyze and visualize the results before providing them.

[1865] Hardware and software used

[1866] The main hardware and software required to implement this system are:

[1867] 1. Server: A computer with a high-performance processor and a large amount of memory is required. For example, AWS (Amazon Web Services) or Google Cloud Platform can be used.

[1868] 2. Generative AI models: We need AI models that are specialized for natural language processing and generative tasks, such as OpenAI's GPT-4 model.

[1869] 3. Database: Used to store user profile information, generated personas, survey questions, and survey results. For example, a relational database such as PostgreSQL or MySQL can be used.

[1870] 4. Data analysis module: Survey results are compiled and analyzed using Python's Pandas library and statistical software R.

[1871] 5. Visualization module: Visualize data analysis results using tools such as Python's Matplotlib and Tableau.

[1872] Program processing overview

[1873] 1. User enters persona information

[1874] A user logs in to the system interface and accesses the persona information input screen, where they enter profile information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle, and then clicks the "Submit" button to send the information to the server.

[1875] 2. The server automatically generates personas

[1876] Based on the profile information received by the server, a detailed persona is generated using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4). This process uses the following prompt:

[1877] "We have received the following profile information from a user: Age: 30, Gender: Female, Occupation: Marketing Manager, Nationality: Japanese. Please generate a detailed persona based on this information. The persona should include name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, and challenges."

[1878] The generated personas are stored in a database.

[1879] 3. The server automatically generates a list of survey questions

[1880] Based on the personas generated by the server, a generative AI model is used to automatically generate a list of survey questions, using the following prompts in the process:

[1881] “Generate a list of research questions that will work for this persona. Create questions based on their needs and challenges.”

[1882] The generated survey question list is stored on the server side and provided to the user.

[1883] 4. Users conduct surveys

[1884] Users obtain a list of survey questions provided by the system and conduct the survey in the form of an online questionnaire (e.g., Google Forms) or an interview. After the survey results are collected, they are stored in a database.

[1885] 5. The device aggregates and analyzes the results

[1886] The survey results are analyzed using a data analysis module, such as Python's Pandas library, to clean the data and perform statistical analysis. The analysis results are then visualized in graphs and charts using a visualization module (e.g., Tableau or Matplotlib) and provided to the user.

[1887] Specific examples

[1888] For example, consider a user conducting target market research for a new product. The user logs into the system and enters the following persona information: Age: 30, Gender: Female, Occupation: Marketing Manager, Nationality: Japanese. The server uses this information to generate the following detailed persona using a generative AI model:

[1889] Name: Yamada Hanako (fictional character)

[1890] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[1891] Lifestyle: City work, active weekends

[1892] Values: Health-conscious, efficiency-oriented

[1893] Needs: Seeking efficient tools and services to balance work and personal life

[1894] Challenge: Busy work schedule and limited leisure time

[1895] The server then generates the following list of survey questions based on this persona:

[1896] “How did you learn about new health tools and services?”

[1897] "How often do you devote time to fitness?"

[1898] "What applications and devices do you use to stay healthy efficiently?"

[1899] Users conduct surveys in the form of online questionnaires and collect the results. The terminal analyzes the survey results using the data analysis module and visualizes them in graphs and charts using the visualization module. The analysis results are provided to users to gain more specific market insights.

[1900] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of this system.

[1901] The flow of the specific processing in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 11.

[1902] Step 1:

[1903] The user enters persona information. Specifically, the user logs in to the system interface, accesses the persona information input screen, and enters profile information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle into the form. After completing the input, the user clicks the "Submit" button to send the information to the server. The input data is sent to the server as the user's profile information.

[1904] Input: User persona information (age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, lifestyle, etc.)

[1905] Output: User profile information data sent to the server

[1906] Step 2:

[1907] The server automatically generates a persona. The server receives profile information sent by the user. Based on this information, the server calls the generative AI model to create a prompt sentence and input it into the AI ​​model. The generative AI model generates a detailed persona based on the user's profile information and stores the generated persona data in the server's database.

[1908] Input: User profile information data

[1909] Output: Generated persona data (name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, challenges, etc.)

[1910] Step 3:

[1911] The server automatically generates a list of survey questions. Based on the generated persona data, the server uses a generative AI model to generate a list of survey questions. This prompt sentence is created and input into the generative AI model to generate a list of questions. The generated list of survey questions is stored in the server's database.

[1912] Input: Generated persona data

[1913] Output: Generated survey questionnaire

[1914] Step 4:

[1915] The server provides the survey questionnaire to the user. The server provides a link or download option that the user can access and presents the survey questionnaire to the user. The user retrieves it and saves it in a usable form.

[1916] Input: Generated survey questionnaire list

[1917] Output: Survey questionnaire link or file provided to the user

[1918] Step 5:

[1919] The user conducts the survey. The user receives the survey question list provided by the server and conducts the survey in the form of an online questionnaire (e.g., Google Forms) or an interview. The collected data is then uploaded back to the server by the user.

[1920] Input: Survey Questionnaire

[1921] Output: Collected survey data

[1922] Step 6:

[1923] The server aggregates the survey results and performs analysis on the terminal. The server provides the survey data received from the user to the data analysis module, which aggregates and cleans the data and performs statistical analysis. The results are stored in a database.

[1924] Input: Collected survey data

[1925] Output: Aggregated and analyzed data

[1926] Step 7:

[1927] The terminal visualizes the aggregated and analyzed results, and the server presents them to the user. The terminal uses a visualization module to visualize the aggregated and analyzed data in graphs and charts, which the server presents to the user, providing the visualized results.

[1928] Input: Aggregated and analyzed data

[1929] Output: Visualized data (graphs and charts)

[1930] Based on the specific actions taken at each step and the input / output data, the system can quickly and effectively generate personas and survey question lists from user profile information, analyze and visualize the results, and provide them to users.

[1931] (Application example 1)

[1932] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1933] In recent years, formulating effective marketing and advertising strategies that take into account diverse user profiles has become difficult and requires a great deal of time and money. Furthermore, there is a lack of methods for accurately grasping the detailed needs and values ​​of target users and automatically designing optimal advertising content and formats based on that. This has led to problems such as advertisers being unable to quickly formulate appropriate strategies, resulting in reduced advertising effectiveness.

[1934] 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.

[1935] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting desired user profile information, a means for automatically generating a persona based on the user profile information, and a means for automatically generating a survey question list based on the generated persona, thereby enabling a target effect.

[1936] By building a system that includes a means for optimizing advertising content and format based on the generated personas and survey question list, it becomes possible to quickly and low-costly develop effective advertising strategies that cater to diverse user profiles.

[1937] "User profile information" is a general term for data that includes attribute information about a specific user, such as age, sex, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[1938] A "persona" is a fictional image of a user that is generated based on user profile information and that reflects in detail the user's typical needs, values, behavioral patterns, and challenges.

[1939] A "survey questionnaire" is a list of questions that includes questions that address the needs, values, and challenges of users based on the generated persona.

[1940] "Means for optimizing advertising content and formats" refers to algorithms and tools that automatically design and select the most effective advertising messages and formats for target users based on the generated personas and survey question lists.

[1941] The "data analysis module" is a software component for aggregating and analyzing survey results, and analyzes data using methods such as statistical analysis and machine learning.

[1942] The "visualization module" is a software component for visually displaying the results of the analysis performed by the data analysis module, and visualizing them in the form of graphs, charts, etc.

[1943] A "generative AI model" is an AI model that automatically generates personas and survey question lists based on user profile information, and uses technologies such as natural language processing.

[1944] An "interface" is an input means or screen that allows a user to input information to a system, or a means for receiving output.

[1945] "Database" means a data storage system for storing and managing survey questionnaires and survey results.

[1946] This invention is a system that automatically generates personas based on user profile information using generation AI and automatically provides a list of survey questions based on the personas in order to conduct user surveys efficiently and at low cost. Advertising content and format can then be optimized based on the generated personas and survey questions. The program and processing required to realize this system are described below.

[1947] First, a user accesses the system and enters user profile information through an interface that is compatible with a variety of devices, including smartphones and head-mounted displays, and allows users to enter information such as age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, and lifestyle.

[1948] The server automatically generates a persona based on the user profile information using a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3). This persona includes details such as name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, and challenges, creating a detailed image of the user.

[1949] The server then automatically generates a survey questionnaire based on the personas. This questionnaire contains specific questions that address the needs, values, and challenges of the target users. The survey questionnaire is then saved in a database for future reference.

[1950] Users can conduct surveys based on a list of survey questions provided by the server. The survey format can be selected, such as an online questionnaire or an interview. The resulting survey data is stored in a database.

[1951] The data analysis module then aggregates the survey data, and the visualization module visualizes the analyzed results, helping users gain insights into the data.

[1952] Furthermore, based on the generated personas and survey question list, the server provides a means to optimize advertising content and formats by using a generative AI model to automatically design and select the most effective advertising messages and formats.

[1953] Examples:

[1954] For example, let's say a marketer for a health food brand launching a new product uses this system to research the target market. The marketer would enter the following profile information:

[1955] Age: 30

[1956] Gender: Female

[1957] Occupation: Marketing Manager

[1958] Nationality: Japanese

[1959] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[1960] Based on this information, the generative AI model generates a persona like this:

[1961] Name: Yamada Hanako (fictional character)

[1962] Lifestyle: City work, active weekends

[1963] Values: Health-conscious, efficiency-oriented

[1964] Based on the persona, a list of survey questions is generated, such as:

[1965] “How did you learn about new health tools and services?”

[1966] "How often do you devote time to fitness?"

[1967] This information provides specific steps and results that generate optimal strategies for optimizing advertising content and formats.

[1968] Example prompt sentence:

[1969] Age: 30

[1970] Gender: Female

[1971] Occupation: Marketing Manager

[1972] Nationality: Japanese

[1973] Hobbies: Fitness, cooking

[1974] Based on the user profile information above, generate the following persona information:

[1975] name

[1976] hobby

[1977] Lifestyle

[1978] values

[1979] needs

[1980] assignment

[1981] In this way, by using this system, advertisers can efficiently and effectively optimize their targeted advertising.

[1982] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1983] Step 1:

[1984] A user logs in to the system and enters user profile information through the interface, including age, gender, occupation, nationality, hobbies, lifestyle, etc., so that the system can obtain the required profile data.

[1986] Output: Retrieved user profile information

[1987] Step 2:

[1988] The server receives the acquired user profile information and passes it to a generative AI model to automatically generate a persona. The generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3) analyzes the input data and generates a persona. This persona includes a fictitious name, hobbies, lifestyle, values, needs, challenges, etc.

[1989] Input: User profile information

[1990] Output: Generated personas

[1991] Data processing: Persona generation using generative AI models

[1992] Step 3:

[1993] The server generates a list of survey questions based on the generated persona, and automatically creates specific survey questions based on the attributes, needs, and issues of the generated persona.

[1994] Input: Generated persona

[1995] Output: Survey Question List

[1996] Data Calculation: Question List Generation Based on Persona Information

[1997] Step 4:

[1998] The server provides the user with a list of survey questions, which are then stored in a database for future reference. The user then selects the survey format (online questionnaire, interview, etc.) based on the provided list of questions.

[1999] Input: Survey Questionnaire

[2000] Output: Provided survey question list

[2001] Specific operation: The user selects the survey format

[2002] Step 5:

[2003] Users conduct surveys in the format of their choice, and the survey results are stored in a database for later analysis.

[2004] Input: Survey response

[2005] Output: Saved survey results

[2006] Specific operation: Saving to the database

[2007] Step 6:

[2008] The server uses a data analysis module to analyze the collected survey results, which extracts user behavior patterns, needs, values, etc.

[2009] Input: Saved Survey Results

[2010] Output: Analysis results

[2011] Data calculations: Analysis of survey results

[2012] Step 7:

[2013] The server visualizes the analysis results through a visualization module, allowing users to receive the analysis results in a visually easy-to-understand format.

[2014] Input: Analysis results

[2015] Output: Visualized analysis results

[2016] Specific behavior: Generating graphs and charts

[2017] Step 8:

[2018] Based on the generated personas and survey question list, the server uses methods to optimize the advertising content and format, utilizing a generative AI model to automatically design and select the optimal advertising message and format for the target.

[2019] Input: Persona, survey question list, analysis results

[2020] Output: Optimized ad content and format

[2021] Data processing: Ad optimization with generative AI models

[2022] Through the above processing steps, this system can accommodate a variety of profiles and can formulate effective advertising strategies at low cost and efficiently.

[2023] 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.

[2274] The server uses the collected emotional data to further refine the generated persona information. It also reflects the emotional data in the questions in the survey questionnaire to make more appropriate adjustments. Once the survey is complete, the user's responses are stored in a database and analyzed by the data analysis module.

[2275] 6. Visualizing the results:

[2276] The analysis results are visualized in the form of graphs and charts through the visualization module and provided to users, allowing them to intuitively understand the survey results.

[2277] Specific examples

[2278] For example, a user enters the following profile information:

[2279] Age: 35

[2280] Gender: Male

[2281] Occupation: Software Engineer

[2282] Hobbies: Reading, games

[2283] Lifestyle: Urban areas, many work from home

[2284] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is:

[2285] "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies include reading and gaming, lifestyle is urban, mostly working from home. Please generate a persona based on this information."

[2286] The persona generated in this way can depict a specific character, such as "an engineer who loves games and places importance on ways to relax while working from home." A list of fitness and relaxation-related survey questions is automatically generated based on this persona, and an emotion engine is used to collect and analyze emotional data in real time, allowing for a personalized experience tailored to the user.

[2287] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[2288] Step 1:

[2289] A user logs in from a device such as a smartphone or tablet and enters profile information such as name, age, gender, occupation, hobbies, and lifestyle. The entered information is sent to the server through the interface, allowing the server to receive (input) the user profile information. Specifically, the user enters information into a form and presses the "Submit" button.

[2290] Step 2:

[2291] The server automatically generates a detailed persona using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) based on the received user profile information. At this time, it analyzes the input profile information and provides a prompt to the generative AI model (data processing). For example, if the profile information is "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies are reading and gaming," the prompt would be "35-year-old male, software engineer, hobbies are reading and gaming. Please generate a persona based on this information." The generated persona is returned to the device (output).

[2292] Step 3:

[2293] The server automatically generates a list of survey questions based on the generated persona. At this time, it analyzes the information of the generated persona and generates questions that suit the persona's tastes and needs (data calculation). For example, if the persona is a "30-year-old woman who is interested in fitness," a list including fitness-related questions will be generated. The generated list of survey questions is provided to the terminal (output).

[2294] Step 4:

[2295] The user receives a list of survey questions provided by the terminal. The user conducts the survey based on the list and answers the questions. At this time, the user's answers are sent (input) to the server through the interface. Specifically, the user answers the questions in a questionnaire format and presses the "send" button.

[2296] Step 5:

[2297] The server activates the emotion engine and collects emotional data in real time from the user's facial expressions and tone of voice. The server recognizes the user's emotional state based on the user's input information and interface operations, and stores the analysis results in a database (data calculation). For example, the server collects and analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice when answering questions using a camera or microphone.

[2298] Step 6:

[2299] The server uses the collected emotional data to further refine the generated persona information. Furthermore, it reflects the emotional data in the questions in the survey questionnaire to make more appropriate adjustments (data calculation). For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it changes the questions in the questionnaire to reflect that emotion more gently. The refined persona and the adjusted questionnaire are saved in the database (output).

[2300] Step 7:

[2301] Once the survey is complete, the server collects the responses from users and stores them in a database (input). The server then analyzes the responses using a data analysis module, analyzing the aggregated data and performing statistical processing (data calculations). For example, the response data may be aggregated and analyzed for trends and patterns.

[2302] Step 8:

[2303] The server uses a visualization module to visualize the analysis results. At this time, the analysis results are converted into visual formats such as graphs and charts and provided to the user (output). Specifically, the analysis results are converted into diagrams and charts, and dashboards and reports are generated. This allows the user to intuitively understand the investigation results.

[2304] 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.

[2305] 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.

[2306] 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.

[2307] 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.

[2308] 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.

[2309] 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.

[2310] 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).

[2311] 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.

[2312] 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."

[2313] 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.

[2314] 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).

[2315] 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.

[2316] 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.

[2317] 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.

[2318] 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.

[2319] 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.

[2320] 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.

[2321] 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.

[2322] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[2323] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
