[0145] Document upload and text analysis

[0146] User:

[0147] Users upload policy documents using a web interface, either by dragging and dropping files into the browser interface or by clicking the file chooser button.

[0148] Device:

[0149] The uploaded policy document is sent to the server via the terminal, using an HTTP POST request to send the file contents to the server in multipart format.

[0150] server:

[0151] The server temporarily stores the received document and starts a natural language processing (NLP) engine (e.g., spaCy). The server reads the document text and performs grammatical analysis, keyword extraction, and importance evaluation of each sentence. The analysis results are evaluated, and important sentences are identified and stored in a PostgreSQL database.

[0152] Generate a summary

[0153] server:

[0154] The server generates summaries based on key sentences from the analysis results of the NLP engine. It then uses algorithms such as TextRank and BERT to convert the summaries into a simple format that is easy for users to understand. The summaries are stored in a PostgreSQL database and can be quickly provided upon user request.

[0155] Customizable commentary

[0156] User:

[0157] A user types into the web interface to get information on a particular topic or keyword of interest, for example, typing "data retention period" into a text box.

[0158] Device:

[0159] The topics and keywords entered are sent to the server as an HTTP POST request.

[0160] server:

[0161] The server receives the request and generates a detailed explanation of the relevant part based on the input topic. The explanation is generated using a language model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-3). The customized explanation is stored in a database and returned to the user's device.

[0162] Regular updates

[0163] server:

[0164] The system uses a cron job or task scheduler to periodically check for changes to policy documents. When changes are detected, the new document version is automatically re-parsed with the NLP engine, and the summary and customization descriptions are automatically updated. Updates are notified to users in real time through a notification system.

[0165] User Interaction

[0166] User:

[0167] Users use a conversational interface (e.g., a chatbot) to enter questions about the policy, such as "How does this policy protect my personal information?"

[0168] Device:

[0169] The user's question is sent directly to the server, and the input content is constructed as an HTTP request in natural language format and sent.

[0170] server:

[0171] The server receives the question, again using an NLP engine or language model to identify the relevant section, generates an answer to the question, and returns the result to the device, where the generated answer is provided to the user in real time.

[0172] Specific examples

[0173] For example, a specific flow will be described below when a user requests detailed information about the "data storage period."

[0174] User:

[0175] Upload your privacy policy document via the web interface, enter "Data Retention Period" as the topic of interest, and submit.

[0176] Device:

[0177] Submit the document and topic of interest information to the server as an HTTP POST request.

[0178] server:

[0179] The policy document is analyzed using spaCy, key sentences are extracted, and a summary is generated. The section regarding "data retention period" is then analyzed again, and a detailed explanation is generated using the OpenAI GPT-3 model. The generated summary and customized explanation are stored in a PostgreSQL database and sent to the device as an HTTP response.

[0180] Device:

[0181] Receives the response from the server and displays a summary and customized explanation to the user.

[0182] User:

[0183] Review the information provided to deepen your understanding of the policy. Depending on the topic, you may have more detailed questions or request information on a different topic.

[0184] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0185] "Please extract key statements from the uploaded policy document, generate a summary, and provide a detailed explanation of the 'data retention period'."

[0186] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0187] Step 1:

[0188] User:

[0189] Users upload policy documents through a web interface. Specifically, they can click the file chooser button in their browser to select a local file, or they can drag and drop a file into the interface. The input is the policy document (e.g., a text file or a PDF file). The output is the uploaded file information.

[0190] Step 2:

[0191] Device:

[0192] The uploaded policy document is sent from the terminal to the server. The file contents are sent to the server in multipart format using an HTTP POST request. The input is the local file path, and the output is a successful transfer to the server.

[0193] Step 3:

[0194] server:

[0195] The server temporarily stores the received document and starts a natural language processing (NLP) engine. The server reads the file contents, performs grammatical analysis, extracts keywords, and evaluates the importance of each sentence. The input is the uploaded file contents, and the output is the analysis results (a list of important sentences and their importance). Specifically, it uses the Python-based spaCy to perform grammatical analysis, extracts important keywords, and evaluates the importance of each sentence using the TextRank algorithm.

[0196] Step 4:

[0197] server:

[0198] A summary is generated based on important sentences from the analysis results. Algorithms such as TextRank and BERT are used to generate the summary. The generated summary is stored in a PostgreSQL database. The input is a list of important sentences, and the output is the generated summary. Specifically, it selects important sentences and converts them into a simple format to create a summary.

[0199] Step 5:

[0200] User:

[0201] A user enters information about a particular topic or keyword into a web interface. The input is typing the topic or keyword (e.g., "data retention period") into a text box. The output is sending that information to a server.

[0202] Step 6:

[0203] Device:

[0204] The topics and keywords entered by the user are sent to the server as an HTTP POST request. The input is the topic or keyword entered by the user, and the output is the completion of sending the request to the server.

[0205] Step 7:

[0206] server:

[0207] The server receives a request from the user and re-analyzes the relevant document portion based on the input topic. It uses a language model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-3) to generate a detailed explanation and stores the result in a database. The input is the topic, keywords, and the analysis result of the stored document, and the output is a customized detailed explanation. Specifically, it re-analyzes the relevant text and uses a generative AI model to create appropriate and detailed information for the user.

[0208] Step 8:

[0209] server:

[0210] The system uses a cron job or task scheduler to periodically check for changes to policy documents. When changes are detected, the new document version is automatically re-analyzed by the NLP engine and the summary and customized commentary are updated. The input is the latest version of the document, which is periodically retrieved, and the output is the updated summary and commentary. Specifically, the system manages document versions, and if any changes occur, the latest data is retrieved and re-analyzed.

[0211] Step 9:

[0212] User:

[0213] Users use a conversational interface to enter questions about the policy. The input is a question entered through an interface such as a chatbot (e.g., "How does this policy protect my personal information?"), and the output is the entered question being sent to the server.

[0214] Step 10:

[0215] Device:

[0216] The user's question is sent from the terminal to the server. The input is the question entered by the user, and the output is the completion of sending the request to the server.

[0217] Step 11:

[0218] server:

[0219] The server receives the question and again uses an NLP engine or language model to identify relevant sections. It generates an answer to the question and returns the result to the device. The input is the question content and the analysis result of the relevant document parts, and the output is the generated answer. Specifically, it re-analyzes the relevant text and generates an appropriate answer to the user's question.

[0220] (Application example 1)

[0221] 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."

[0222] In physical stores, employee training and customer support require rapid understanding and response to policy documents, but this requires employees to quickly grasp the vast amount of content. However, with conventional methods, this process is cumbersome, and it is difficult to update information or respond quickly to specific questions. To solve these issues, it is necessary to develop a system that can summarize policy documents, provide customized explanations, and provide optimal answers to user questions.

[0223] 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.

[0224] In this invention, the server includes: a means for inputting a policy document; a means for analyzing the input policy document using natural language processing technology and extracting important points; a means for summarizing the extracted important points; a means for selecting specific parts based on a user's interest and providing a detailed explanation; a means for detecting changes in the policy document and updating the summary and explanation; a means for a user to ask questions and have the questions answered through an interactive interface; and a means for providing a summary and customized explanation of the policy document as an application to be installed on a mobile device or wearable device so that store employees can quickly understand the information and receive necessary training. This enables store employees to quickly understand the policy document, stay up to date with the latest information, and obtain accurate answers to specific questions.

[0225] A "policy document" is a document that deals with important policies and procedures such as laws, regulations, and guidelines.

[0226] An "input means" is an interface or device that allows a user to provide information to a system.

[0227] "Natural language processing technology" is a technology that enables computers to understand and process the language that humans use on a daily basis.

[0228] "Key points" are parts of a policy document that have particularly important content or meaning.

[0229] A "summary" is a short, concise summary of the original content.

[0230] "User interests" refer to specific topics or themes that a user is particularly interested in.

[0231] A "detailed explanation" is a specific and detailed explanation intended to provide a deeper understanding of the specific content.

[0232] The "means for detecting changes" is a function that automatically detects changes when the contents of a policy document are updated.

[0233] An "interactive interface" is an interface that allows a user to directly interact with a system and ask questions or give instructions.

[0234] A "mobile device" is a portable electronic device such as a smartphone or tablet.

[0235] A "wearable device" is an electronic device that is worn by the user.

[0236] The following describes a mode for realizing the present invention: The present invention provides a series of configurations and means as an application for mobile devices or wearable devices that enables employees of brick-and-mortar stores to quickly understand policy documents and receive the necessary training.

[0237] First, a user (employee) uses a mobile or wearable device such as a smartphone, tablet, or smart glasses. A dedicated application is installed on this device, and the user can input a policy document through its interface. The device then sends the input policy document to the server.

[0238] When the server receives the policy document, it uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to analyze the document. The NLP technology used includes specific software components such as SpaCy and Transformers (Hugging Face). The NLP engine on the server analyzes the grammar of each sentence and extracts keywords to evaluate and extract key points. The extracted key sentences are stored in a database.

[0239] The server then generates a summary based on the extracted key sentences. This summary is provided to the user in a simple, easy-to-understand format and can be viewed on their device. If the user requests further elaboration on a specific topic or keyword, the server uses a generative AI model, such as a BERT-based question-answering model, to generate a customized explanation based on the user's interests.

[0240] Additionally, the server periodically checks for changes to the policy document and automatically updates the summary and customized description according to any detected changes. This updated information is then posted back to the user's device.

[0241] When a user has a specific question, they send it to the server through a conversational interface. The server then analyzes the policy document again based on the question and generates the best answer. This process also leverages the generative AI model, generating prompts such as:

[0242] Input document:

[0243] "Our stores adhere to the following security policies: First, protecting customer information... (omitted)"

[0244] question:

[0245] "Please explain in more detail how you protect customer information."

[0246] This allows associates to quickly understand information, stay up-to-date on the latest policies, and get instant answers to specific questions, leading to efficient and effective operations in the physical store.

[0247] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0248] Step 1:

[0249] A user inputs a policy document using a mobile or wearable device such as a smartphone, tablet, or smart glasses. The policy document uploaded by the user through the application interface is then sent from the device to the server.

[0250] Input: Policy document (text file)

[0251] Output: Data sent to the server (policy document)

[0252] Step 2:

[0253] The server analyzes the received policy document using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, specifically using SpaCy and Transformers to perform grammatical analysis and keyword extraction, evaluate the importance of each sentence, and extract key points.

[0254] Input: Policy document

[0255] Data processing / data calculation: grammatical analysis, keyword extraction, importance evaluation

[0256] Output: Extracted important sentences (text data)

[0257] Step 3:

[0258] The server generates a summary based on the extracted key sentences, provides the summary in a simple format that is easy for users to understand, and stores it in a database.

[0259] Input: Extracted important sentences

[0260] Data processing / data calculation: Execution of summary generation algorithms

[0261] Output: Summary (text data)

[0262] Step 4:

[0263] When a user wants to get more information about a particular topic or keyword, they enter it through the application interface, and this information is sent from the device to the server.

[0264] Input: Topic or keyword

[0265] Output: Data sent to the server (topics and keywords)

[0266] Step 5:

[0267] The server generates detailed explanations of relevant parts based on topics and keywords provided by the user. It uses a generative AI model (e.g., a BERT-based question-answering model) to generate customized explanations and stores them in a database.

[0268] Input: Topics, keywords, policy documents

[0269] Data processing / data calculation: Generating detailed explanations (generating responses from generative AI models)

[0270] Output: Detailed explanation (text data)

[0271] Step 6:

[0272] When a user has a specific question, they send it to the server through the interactive interface, which then analyzes the question, generates an appropriate prompt, and parses the policy document again.

[0273] Input: User question

[0274] Data processing / data calculation: prompt generation, document re-analysis

[0275] Output: Prompt statement, part of analysis result

[0276] Step 7:

[0277] The server generates the best answer to the user's question and sends it to the device, where the user can check the answer on the application.

[0278] Input: prompt statement, analysis result

[0279] Data processing / data calculation: Answer generation (response generation for generative AI models)

[0280] Output: Answer (text data)

[0281] Step 8:

[0282] The server periodically checks for changes to the policy document, and if a change is detected, it parses the new version and automatically updates the summary and customization description. The updated information is notified to the user.

[0283] Input: Modified version of the policy document

[0284] Data processing / data calculations: difference checks, reanalysis, updating summaries and commentary

[0285] Output: Updated summary and commentary (text data)

[0286] Through these steps, the program helps store associates quickly understand policy documents and receive necessary training, while also providing immediate, targeted answers to specific questions.

[0287] 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.

[0288] The system of the present invention efficiently analyzes, summarizes, customizes, updates, and answers user questions about policy documents combined with an emotion engine. An embodiment of the system is described in detail below.

[0289] System configuration and functions

[0290] 1. Document upload and text analysis

[0291] User:

[0292] Users can upload policy documents through a web interface.

[0293] Device:

[0294] The policy document uploaded by the user is sent from the terminal to the server.

[0317] 5. User Interaction and Emotion Recognition

[0318] User:

[0319] A user can enter a question through an interactive interface.

[0320] For example, you could ask, "How does this policy protect my personal information?"

[0321] Device:

[0322] Based on the user's questions and usage, the device monitors the user's emotions through an emotion engine.

[0323] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotional state and sends the results to the server.

[0324] server:

[0325] The server adjusts the tone and level of detail of its explanations and responses based on the emotional data it receives from the emotion engine. For example, if it detects that the user is confused or stressed, it will provide a more detailed and understandable explanation.

[0326] Specific examples

[0327] For example, a user may request a summary of the privacy policy and would like more information regarding "data retention periods."

[0328] User:

[0329] Upload your privacy policy document via the web interface and enter "data retention period" as a topic of interest.

[0330] Device:

[0331] The document and topic of interest information are sent to the server, and the user's emotional state is also monitored through the emotion engine.

[0332] server:

[0333] Analyzes privacy policy documents, extracts key sentences, and generates summaries.

[0334] Re-analyze the section on "Data Retention Period" and generate a detailed explanation.

[0335] The summaries and customized commentary are stored in a database and are presented to the user in an optimized format based on the results of the sentiment engine.

[0336] Device:

[0337] A summary and customized explanation are displayed to the user. When the user enters a question in the interactive interface, the server generates an answer that takes into account the user's emotional state.

[0338] server:

[0339] Answers to questions are generated and adjusted based on the user's emotional state.

[0340] Device:

[0341] The adjusted answer is displayed to the user.

[0342] This system not only enables users to quickly understand complex policy documents and access the information they need, but also enables them to respond appropriately according to their emotional state, further improving user convenience and understanding and reducing stress.

[0343] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0344] Step 1:

[0345] Users upload policy documents through a web interface.

[0346] Step 2:

[0347] The device receives the uploaded policy document and sends this data to the server.

[0348] Step 3:

[0349] The server inputs the received policy document into a natural language processing (NLP) engine and begins parsing it.

[0350] Step 4:

[0351] The server's NLP engine parses the policy document to extract keywords, then applies a model that evaluates the importance of each sentence to select the most important sentences.

[0352] Step 5:

[0353] The server generates a summary based on the selected key sentences, and the summary is constructed in a concise and easy-to-understand format.

[0354] Step 6:

[0355] The summarized results are stored in a database on the server for quick access later.

[0356] Step 7:

[0357] Users enter specific topics or keywords through a web interface, such as "data retention period."

[0358] Step 8:

[0359] The device sends the topics and keywords entered by the user to the server.

[0360] Step 9:

[0361] Based on the received topics and keywords, the server reparses the relevant sections in the policy document, extracts the necessary information, and generates a detailed explanation.

[0362] Step 10:

[0363] The generated customized explanations are stored in a database on the server, allowing users to access them at any time.

[0364] Step 11:

[0365] The server periodically checks for updates to the policy document, and if there are any changes, it reparses the new document and updates the summary and customization description.

[0366] Step 12:

[0367] When there is an update, the server notifies the user, who can then access the latest information.

[0368] Step 13:

[0369] Users can enter questions through a conversational interface, such as "How is my personal information protected?"

[0370] Step 14:

[0371] The device sends the user's question to the server.

[0372] Step 15:

[0373] The server reparses the policy document based on the question, extracts relevant information, and generates an answer.

[0374] Step 16:

[0375] When generating an answer, the emotion engine acquires emotion data from the user's device, allowing it to understand the emotional state of the user when they asked the question.

[0376] Step 17:

[0377] The server adjusts the tone and level of detail of the answer based on the emotional data. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it will provide a more detailed and understandable explanation.

[0378] Step 18:

[0379] The generated answer is sent from the server to the device.

[0380] Step 19:

[0381] The device receives the answer from the server and displays it to the user.

[0382] Step 20:

[0383] Users can review the displayed answers and gain a deeper understanding of the policy content.

[0384] The above are the specific operations performed at each processing step in this system. This not only enables users to quickly understand complex policy documents and access the information they need, but also enables them to respond appropriately according to their emotional state. This further improves user convenience and understanding, and reduces stress.

[0386] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0387] Conventional policy document analysis systems not only take time to understand complex documents and extract important information, but also have difficulty reducing user stress because they do not take into account the user's emotional state. Furthermore, when the content of a policy document is changed, updates are not automatically reflected, making it difficult to access the latest information. These problems need to be solved.

[0388] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: a means for inputting a policy document; a means for analyzing the input policy document using natural language processing technology and extracting important points; a means for summarizing the extracted important points; a means for selecting specific parts based on the user's interest and providing detailed explanations; a means for detecting changes to the policy document and updating the summaries and explanations; a means for the user to ask questions through an interactive interface and answer those questions; and a means for monitoring the user's emotional state through an emotion engine and adjusting the tone and level of detail of explanations and answers. This not only allows the user to quickly understand important information and easily access the latest information, but also enables polite responses according to the user's emotional state, thereby reducing stress for the user.

[0740] Device:

[0741] The uploaded policy document is sent to the server via the terminal, using an HTTP POST request to send the file contents to the server in multipart format.

[0742] server:

[0743] The server temporarily stores the received document and starts a natural language processing (NLP) engine (e.g., spaCy). The server reads the document text and performs grammatical analysis, keyword extraction, and importance evaluation of each sentence. The analysis results are evaluated, and important sentences are identified and stored in a PostgreSQL database.

[0744] Generate a summary

[0745] server:

[0746] The server generates summaries based on key sentences from the analysis results of the NLP engine. It then uses algorithms such as TextRank and BERT to convert the summaries into a simple format that is easy for users to understand. The summaries are stored in a PostgreSQL database and can be quickly provided upon user request.

[0747] Customizable commentary

[0748] User:

[0749] A user types into the web interface to get information on a particular topic or keyword of interest, for example, typing "data retention period" into a text box.

[0750] Device:

[0751] The topics and keywords entered are sent to the server as an HTTP POST request.

[0752] server:

[0753] The server receives the request and generates a detailed explanation of the relevant part based on the input topic. The explanation is generated using a language model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-3). The customized explanation is stored in a database and returned to the user's device.

[0754] Regular updates

[0755] server:

[0756] The system uses a cron job or task scheduler to periodically check for changes to policy documents. When changes are detected, the new document version is automatically re-parsed with the NLP engine, and the summary and customization descriptions are automatically updated. Updates are notified to users in real time through a notification system.

[0757] User Interaction

[0758] User:

[0759] Users use a conversational interface (e.g., a chatbot) to enter questions about the policy, such as "How does this policy protect my personal information?"

[0760] Device:

[0761] The user's question is sent directly to the server, and the input content is constructed as an HTTP request in natural language format and sent.

[0762] server:

[0763] The server receives the question, again using an NLP engine or language model to identify the relevant section, generates an answer to the question, and returns the result to the device, where the generated answer is provided to the user in real time.

[0764] Specific examples

[0765] For example, a specific flow will be described below when a user requests detailed information about the "data storage period."

[0766] User:

[0768] Device:

[0769] Submit the document and topic of interest information to the server as an HTTP POST request.

[0770] server:

[0771] The policy document is analyzed using spaCy, key sentences are extracted, and a summary is generated. The section regarding "data retention period" is then analyzed again, and a detailed explanation is generated using the OpenAI GPT-3 model. The generated summary and customized explanation are stored in a PostgreSQL database and sent to the device as an HTTP response.

[0772] Device:

[0773] Receives the response from the server and displays a summary and customized explanation to the user.

[0774] User:

[0775] Review the information provided to deepen your understanding of the policy. Depending on the topic, you may have more detailed questions or request information on a different topic.

[0776] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0777] "Please extract key statements from the uploaded policy document, generate a summary, and provide a detailed explanation of the 'data retention period'."

[0778] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0779] Step 1:

[0780] User:

[0781] Users upload policy documents through a web interface. Specifically, they can click the file chooser button in their browser to select a local file, or they can drag and drop a file into the interface. The input is the policy document (e.g., a text file or a PDF file). The output is the uploaded file information.

[0782] Step 2:

[0783] Device:

[0784] The uploaded policy document is sent from the terminal to the server. The file contents are sent to the server in multipart format using an HTTP POST request. The input is the local file path, and the output is a successful transfer to the server.

[0785] Step 3:

[0786] server:

[0787] The server temporarily stores the received document and starts a natural language processing (NLP) engine. The server reads the file contents, performs grammatical analysis, extracts keywords, and evaluates the importance of each sentence. The input is the uploaded file contents, and the output is the analysis results (a list of important sentences and their importance). Specifically, it uses the Python-based spaCy to perform grammatical analysis, extracts important keywords, and evaluates the importance of each sentence using the TextRank algorithm.

[0788] Step 4:

[0789] server:

[0790] A summary is generated based on important sentences from the analysis results. Algorithms such as TextRank and BERT are used to generate the summary. The generated summary is stored in a PostgreSQL database. The input is a list of important sentences, and the output is the generated summary. Specifically, it selects important sentences and converts them into a simple format to create a summary.

[0791] Step 5:

[0792] User:

[0793] A user enters information about a particular topic or keyword into a web interface. The input is typing the topic or keyword (e.g., "data retention period") into a text box. The output is sending that information to a server.

[0794] Step 6:

[0795] Device:

[0796] The topics and keywords entered by the user are sent to the server as an HTTP POST request. The input is the topic or keyword entered by the user, and the output is the completion of sending the request to the server.

[0797] Step 7:

[0798] server:

[0799] The server receives a request from the user and re-analyzes the relevant document portion based on the input topic. It uses a language model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-3) to generate a detailed explanation and stores the result in a database. The input is the topic, keywords, and the analysis result of the stored document, and the output is a customized detailed explanation. Specifically, it re-analyzes the relevant text and uses a generative AI model to create appropriate and detailed information for the user.

[0800] Step 8:

[0801] server:

[0802] The system uses a cron job or task scheduler to periodically check for changes to policy documents. When changes are detected, the new document version is automatically re-analyzed by the NLP engine and the summary and customized commentary are updated. The input is the latest version of the document, which is periodically retrieved, and the output is the updated summary and commentary. Specifically, the system manages document versions, and if any changes occur, the latest data is retrieved and re-analyzed.

[0803] Step 9:

[0804] User:

[0805] Users use a conversational interface to enter questions about the policy. The input is a question entered through an interface such as a chatbot (e.g., "How does this policy protect my personal information?"), and the output is the entered question being sent to the server.

[0806] Step 10:

[0807] Device:

[0808] The user's question is sent from the terminal to the server. The input is the question entered by the user, and the output is the completion of sending the request to the server.

[0809] Step 11:

[0810] server:

[0811] The server receives the question and again uses an NLP engine or language model to identify relevant sections. It generates an answer to the question and returns the result to the device. The input is the question content and the analysis result of the relevant document parts, and the output is the generated answer. Specifically, it re-analyzes the relevant text and generates an appropriate answer to the user's question.

[0812] (Application example 1)

[0813] 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."

[0814] In physical stores, employee training and customer support require rapid understanding and response to policy documents, but this requires employees to quickly grasp the vast amount of content. However, with conventional methods, this process is cumbersome, and it is difficult to update information or respond quickly to specific questions. To solve these issues, it is necessary to develop a system that can summarize policy documents, provide customized explanations, and provide optimal answers to user questions.

[0815] 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.

[0816] In this invention, the server includes: a means for inputting a policy document; a means for analyzing the input policy document using natural language processing technology and extracting important points; a means for summarizing the extracted important points; a means for selecting specific parts based on a user's interest and providing a detailed explanation; a means for detecting changes in the policy document and updating the summary and explanation; a means for a user to ask questions and have the questions answered through an interactive interface; and a means for providing a summary and customized explanation of the policy document as an application to be installed on a mobile device or wearable device so that store employees can quickly understand the information and receive necessary training. This enables store employees to quickly understand the policy document, stay up to date with the latest information, and obtain accurate answers to specific questions.

[0817] A "policy document" is a document that deals with important policies and procedures such as laws, regulations, and guidelines.

[0818] An "input means" is an interface or device that allows a user to provide information to a system.

[0819] "Natural language processing technology" is a technology that enables computers to understand and process the language that humans use on a daily basis.

[0820] "Key points" are parts of a policy document that have particularly important content or meaning.

[0821] A "summary" is a short, concise summary of the original content.

[0822] "User interests" refer to specific topics or themes that a user is particularly interested in.

[0823] A "detailed explanation" is a specific and detailed explanation intended to provide a deeper understanding of the specific content.

[0824] The "means for detecting changes" is a function that automatically detects changes when the contents of a policy document are updated.

[0825] An "interactive interface" is an interface that allows a user to directly interact with a system and ask questions or give instructions.

[0826] A "mobile device" is a portable electronic device such as a smartphone or tablet.

[0827] A "wearable device" is an electronic device that is worn by the user.

[0828] The following describes a mode for realizing the present invention: The present invention provides a series of configurations and means as an application for mobile devices or wearable devices that enables employees of brick-and-mortar stores to quickly understand policy documents and receive the necessary training.

[0829] First, a user (employee) uses a mobile or wearable device such as a smartphone, tablet, or smart glasses. A dedicated application is installed on this device, and the user can input a policy document through its interface. The device then sends the input policy document to the server.

[0830] When the server receives the policy document, it uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to analyze the document. The NLP technology used includes specific software components such as SpaCy and Transformers (Hugging Face). The NLP engine on the server analyzes the grammar of each sentence and extracts keywords to evaluate and extract key points. The extracted key sentences are stored in a database.

[0831] The server then generates a summary based on the extracted key sentences. This summary is provided to the user in a simple, easy-to-understand format and can be viewed on their device. If the user requests further elaboration on a specific topic or keyword, the server uses a generative AI model, such as a BERT-based question-answering model, to generate a customized explanation based on the user's interests.

[0832] Additionally, the server periodically checks for changes to the policy document and automatically updates the summary and customized description according to any detected changes. This updated information is then posted back to the user's device.

[0833] When a user has a specific question, they send it to the server through a conversational interface. The server then analyzes the policy document again based on the question and generates the best answer. This process also leverages the generative AI model, generating prompts such as:

[0834] Input document:

[0835] "Our stores adhere to the following security policies: First, protecting customer information... (omitted)"

[0836] question:

[0837] "Please explain in more detail how you protect customer information."

[0838] This allows associates to quickly understand information, stay up-to-date on the latest policies, and get instant answers to specific questions, leading to efficient and effective operations in the physical store.

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

[0840] Step 1:

[0841] A user inputs a policy document using a mobile or wearable device such as a smartphone, tablet, or smart glasses. The policy document uploaded by the user through the application interface is then sent from the device to the server.

[0842] Input: Policy document (text file)

[0843] Output: Data sent to the server (policy document)

[0844] Step 2:

[0845] The server analyzes the received policy document using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, specifically using SpaCy and Transformers to perform grammatical analysis and keyword extraction, evaluate the importance of each sentence, and extract key points.

[0846] Input: Policy document

[0847] Data processing / data calculation: grammatical analysis, keyword extraction, importance evaluation

[0848] Output: Extracted important sentences (text data)

[0849] Step 3:

[0850] The server generates a summary based on the extracted key sentences, provides the summary in a simple format that is easy for users to understand, and stores it in a database.

[0851] Input: Extracted important sentences

[0852] Data processing / data calculation: Execution of summary generation algorithms

[0853] Output: Summary (text data)

[0854] Step 4:

[0855] When a user wants to get more information about a particular topic or keyword, they enter it through the application interface, and this information is sent from the device to the server.

[0856] Input: Topic or keyword

[0857] Output: Data sent to the server (topics and keywords)

[0858] Step 5:

[0859] The server generates detailed explanations of relevant parts based on topics and keywords provided by the user. It uses a generative AI model (e.g., a BERT-based question-answering model) to generate customized explanations and stores them in a database.

[0860] Input: Topics, keywords, policy documents

[0861] Data processing / data calculation: Generating detailed explanations (generating responses from generative AI models)

[0862] Output: Detailed explanation (text data)

[0863] Step 6:

[0864] When a user has a specific question, they send it to the server through the interactive interface, which then analyzes the question, generates an appropriate prompt, and parses the policy document again.

[0865] Input: User question

[0866] Data processing / data calculation: prompt generation, document re-analysis

[0867] Output: Prompt statement, part of analysis result

[0868] Step 7:

[0869] The server generates the best answer to the user's question and sends it to the device, where the user can check the answer on the application.

[0870] Input: prompt statement, analysis result

[0871] Data processing / data calculation: Answer generation (response generation for generative AI models)

[0872] Output: Answer (text data)

[0873] Step 8:

[0874] The server periodically checks for changes to the policy document, and if a change is detected, it parses the new version and automatically updates the summary and customization description. The updated information is notified to the user.

[0875] Input: Modified version of the policy document

[0876] Data processing / data calculations: difference checks, reanalysis, updating summaries and commentary

[0877] Output: Updated summary and commentary (text data)

[0878] Through these steps, the program helps store associates quickly understand policy documents and receive necessary training, while also providing immediate, targeted answers to specific questions.

[0879] 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.

[0880] The system of the present invention efficiently analyzes, summarizes, customizes, updates, and answers user questions about policy documents combined with an emotion engine. An embodiment of the system is described in detail below.

[0881] System configuration and functions

[0882] 1. Document upload and text analysis

[0883] User:

[0884] Users can upload policy documents through a web interface.

[0885] Device:

[0886] The policy document uploaded by the user is sent from the terminal to the server.

[0887] server:

[0888] The server runs a natural language processing (NLP) engine to parse the policy document.

[0909] 5. User Interaction and Emotion Recognition

[0910] User:

[0911] A user can enter a question through an interactive interface.

[0912] For example, you could ask, "How does this policy protect my personal information?"

[0913] Device:

[0914] Based on the user's questions and usage, the device monitors the user's emotions through an emotion engine.

[0915] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotional state and sends the results to the server.

[0916] server:

[0917] The server adjusts the tone and level of detail of its explanations and responses based on the emotional data it receives from the emotion engine. For example, if it detects that the user is confused or stressed, it will provide a more detailed and understandable explanation.

[0918] Specific examples

[0919] For example, a user may request a summary of the privacy policy and would like more information regarding "data retention periods."

[0920] User:

[0921] Upload your privacy policy document via the web interface and enter "data retention period" as a topic of interest.

[0922] Device:

[0923] The document and topic of interest information are sent to the server, and the user's emotional state is also monitored through the emotion engine.

[0924] server:

[0925] Analyzes privacy policy documents, extracts key sentences, and generates summaries.

[0926] Re-analyze the section on "Data Retention Period" and generate a detailed explanation.

[0927] The summaries and customized commentary are stored in a database and are presented to the user in an optimized format based on the results of the sentiment engine.

[0928] Device:

[0929] A summary and customized explanation are displayed to the user. When the user enters a question in the interactive interface, the server generates an answer that takes into account the user's emotional state.

[0930] server:

[0931] Answers to questions are generated and adjusted based on the user's emotional state.

[0932] Device:

[0933] The adjusted answer is displayed to the user.

[0934] This system not only enables users to quickly understand complex policy documents and access the information they need, but also enables them to respond appropriately according to their emotional state, further improving user convenience and understanding and reducing stress.

[0935] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0936] Step 1:

[0937] Users upload policy documents through a web interface.

[0938] Step 2:

[0939] The device receives the uploaded policy document and sends this data to the server.

[0940] Step 3:

[0941] The server inputs the received policy document into a natural language processing (NLP) engine and begins parsing it.

[0942] Step 4:

[0943] The server's NLP engine parses the policy document to extract keywords, then applies a model that evaluates the importance of each sentence to select the most important sentences.

[0944] Step 5:

[0945] The server generates a summary based on the selected key sentences, and the summary is constructed in a concise and easy-to-understand format.

[0946] Step 6:

[0947] The summarized results are stored in a database on the server for quick access later.

[0948] Step 7:

[0949] Users enter specific topics or keywords through a web interface, such as "data retention period."

[0950] Step 8:

[0951] The device sends the topics and keywords entered by the user to the server.

[0952] Step 9:

[0953] Based on the received topics and keywords, the server reparses the relevant sections in the policy document, extracts the necessary information, and generates a detailed explanation.

[0954] Step 10:

[0955] The generated customized explanations are stored in a database on the server, allowing users to access them at any time.

[0956] Step 11:

[0957] The server periodically checks for updates to the policy document, and if there are any changes, it reparses the new document and updates the summary and customization description.

[0958] Step 12:

[0959] When there is an update, the server notifies the user, who can then access the latest information.

[0960] Step 13:

[0961] Users can enter questions through a conversational interface, such as "How is my personal information protected?"

[0962] Step 14:

[0963] The device sends the user's question to the server.

[0964] Step 15:

[0965] The server reparses the policy document based on the question, extracts relevant information, and generates an answer.

[0966] Step 16:

[0967] When generating an answer, the emotion engine acquires emotion data from the user's device, allowing it to understand the emotional state of the user when they asked the question.

[0968] Step 17:

[0969] The server adjusts the tone and level of detail of the answer based on the emotional data. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it will provide a more detailed and understandable explanation.

[0970] Step 18:

[0971] The generated answer is sent from the server to the device.

[0972] Step 19:

[0973] The device receives the answer from the server and displays it to the user.

[0974] Step 20:

[0975] Users can review the displayed answers and gain a deeper understanding of the policy content.

[0976] The above are the specific operations performed at each processing step in this system. This not only enables users to quickly understand complex policy documents and access the information they need, but also enables them to respond appropriately according to their emotional state. This further improves user convenience and understanding, and reduces stress.

[0977] Example 2

[0978] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0979] Conventional policy document analysis systems not only take time to understand complex documents and extract important information, but also have difficulty reducing user stress because they do not take into account the user's emotional state. Furthermore, when the content of a policy document is changed, updates are not automatically reflected, making it difficult to access the latest information. These problems need to be solved.

[0980] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: a means for inputting a policy document; a means for analyzing the input policy document using natural language processing technology and extracting important points; a means for summarizing the extracted important points; a means for selecting specific parts based on the user's interest and providing detailed explanations; a means for detecting changes to the policy document and updating the summaries and explanations; a means for the user to ask questions through an interactive interface and answer those questions; and a means for monitoring the user's emotional state through an emotion engine and adjusting the tone and level of detail of explanations and answers. This not only allows the user to quickly understand important information and easily access the latest information, but also enables polite responses according to the user's emotional state, thereby reducing stress for the user.

The generated summary and customized explanation are stored in a PostgreSQL database and sent to the device as an HTTP response.

[1364] Device:

[1365] Receives the response from the server and displays a summary and customized explanation to the user.

[1366] User:

[1367] Review the information provided to deepen your understanding of the policy. Depending on the topic, you may have more detailed questions or request information on a different topic.

[1368] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1369] "Please extract key statements from the uploaded policy document, generate a summary, and provide a detailed explanation of the 'data retention period'."

[1370] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1371] Step 1:

[1372] User:

[1373] Users upload policy documents through a web interface. Specifically, they can click the file chooser button in their browser to select a local file, or they can drag and drop a file into the interface. The input is the policy document (e.g., a text file or a PDF file). The output is the uploaded file information.

[1374] Step 2:

[1375] Device:

[1376] The uploaded policy document is sent from the terminal to the server. The file contents are sent to the server in multipart format using an HTTP POST request. The input is the local file path, and the output is a successful transfer to the server.

[1377] Step 3:

[1378] server:

[1379] The server temporarily stores the received document and starts a natural language processing (NLP) engine. The server reads the file contents, performs grammatical analysis, extracts keywords, and evaluates the importance of each sentence. The input is the uploaded file contents, and the output is the analysis results (a list of important sentences and their importance). Specifically, it uses the Python-based spaCy to perform grammatical analysis, extracts important keywords, and evaluates the importance of each sentence using the TextRank algorithm.

[1380] Step 4:

[1381] server:

[1382] A summary is generated based on important sentences from the analysis results. Algorithms such as TextRank and BERT are used to generate the summary. The generated summary is stored in a PostgreSQL database. The input is a list of important sentences, and the output is the generated summary. Specifically, it selects important sentences and converts them into a simple format to create a summary.

[1383] Step 5:

[1384] User:

[1385] A user enters information about a particular topic or keyword into a web interface. The input is typing the topic or keyword (e.g., "data retention period") into a text box. The output is sending that information to a server.

[1386] Step 6:

[1387] Device:

[1388] The topics and keywords entered by the user are sent to the server as an HTTP POST request. The input is the topic or keyword entered by the user, and the output is the completion of sending the request to the server.

[1389] Step 7:

[1390] server:

[1391] The server receives a request from the user and re-analyzes the relevant document portion based on the input topic. It uses a language model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-3) to generate a detailed explanation and stores the result in a database. The input is the topic, keywords, and the analysis result of the stored document, and the output is a customized detailed explanation. Specifically, it re-analyzes the relevant text and uses a generative AI model to create appropriate and detailed information for the user.

[1392] Step 8:

[1393] server:

[1394] The system uses a cron job or task scheduler to periodically check for changes to policy documents. When changes are detected, the new document version is automatically re-analyzed by the NLP engine and the summary and customized commentary are updated. The input is the latest version of the document, which is periodically retrieved, and the output is the updated summary and commentary. Specifically, the system manages document versions, and if any changes occur, the latest data is retrieved and re-analyzed.

[1395] Step 9:

[1396] User:

[1397] Users use a conversational interface to enter questions about the policy. The input is a question entered through an interface such as a chatbot (e.g., "How does this policy protect my personal information?"), and the output is the entered question being sent to the server.

[1398] Step 10:

[1399] Device:

[1400] The user's question is sent from the terminal to the server. The input is the question entered by the user, and the output is the completion of sending the request to the server.

[1401] Step 11:

[1402] server:

[1403] The server receives the question and again uses an NLP engine or language model to identify relevant sections. It generates an answer to the question and returns the result to the device. The input is the question content and the analysis result of the relevant document parts, and the output is the generated answer. Specifically, it re-analyzes the relevant text and generates an appropriate answer to the user's question.

[1404] (Application example 1)

[1405] 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."

[1406] In physical stores, employee training and customer support require rapid understanding and response to policy documents, but this requires employees to quickly grasp the vast amount of content. However, with conventional methods, this process is cumbersome, and it is difficult to update information or respond quickly to specific questions. To solve these issues, it is necessary to develop a system that can summarize policy documents, provide customized explanations, and provide optimal answers to user questions.

[1407] 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.

[1408] In this invention, the server includes: a means for inputting a policy document; a means for analyzing the input policy document using natural language processing technology and extracting important points; a means for summarizing the extracted important points; a means for selecting specific parts based on a user's interest and providing a detailed explanation; a means for detecting changes in the policy document and updating the summary and explanation; a means for a user to ask questions and have the questions answered through an interactive interface; and a means for providing a summary and customized explanation of the policy document as an application to be installed on a mobile device or wearable device so that store employees can quickly understand the information and receive necessary training. This enables store employees to quickly understand the policy document, stay up to date with the latest information, and obtain accurate answers to specific questions.

[1409] A "policy document" is a document that deals with important policies and procedures such as laws, regulations, and guidelines.

[1410] An "input means" is an interface or device that allows a user to provide information to a system.

[1411] "Natural language processing technology" is a technology that enables computers to understand and process the language that humans use on a daily basis.

[1412] "Key points" are parts of a policy document that have particularly important content or meaning.

[1413] A "summary" is a short, concise summary of the original content.

[1414] "User interests" refer to specific topics or themes that a user is particularly interested in.

[1415] A "detailed explanation" is a specific and detailed explanation intended to provide a deeper understanding of the specific content.

[1416] The "means for detecting changes" is a function that automatically detects changes when the contents of a policy document are updated.

[1417] An "interactive interface" is an interface that allows a user to directly interact with a system and ask questions or give instructions.

[1418] A "mobile device" is a portable electronic device such as a smartphone or tablet.

[1419] A "wearable device" is an electronic device that is worn by the user.

[1420] The following describes a mode for realizing the present invention: The present invention provides a series of configurations and means as an application for mobile devices or wearable devices that enables employees of brick-and-mortar stores to quickly understand policy documents and receive the necessary training.

[1421] First, a user (employee) uses a mobile or wearable device such as a smartphone, tablet, or smart glasses. A dedicated application is installed on this device, and the user can input a policy document through its interface. The device then sends the input policy document to the server.

[1422] When the server receives the policy document, it uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to analyze the document. The NLP technology used includes specific software components such as SpaCy and Transformers (Hugging Face). The NLP engine on the server analyzes the grammar of each sentence and extracts keywords to evaluate and extract key points. The extracted key sentences are stored in a database.

[1423] The server then generates a summary based on the extracted key sentences. This summary is provided to the user in a simple, easy-to-understand format and can be viewed on their device. If the user requests further elaboration on a specific topic or keyword, the server uses a generative AI model, such as a BERT-based question-answering model, to generate a customized explanation based on the user's interests.

[1424] Additionally, the server periodically checks for changes to the policy document and automatically updates the summary and customized description according to any detected changes. This updated information is then posted back to the user's device.

[1425] When a user has a specific question, they send it to the server through a conversational interface. The server then analyzes the policy document again based on the question and generates the best answer. This process also leverages the generative AI model, generating prompts such as:

[1426] Input document:

[1427] "Our stores adhere to the following security policies: First, protecting customer information... (omitted)"

[1428] question:

[1429] "Please explain in more detail how you protect customer information."

[1430] This allows associates to quickly understand information, stay up-to-date on the latest policies, and get instant answers to specific questions, leading to efficient and effective operations in the physical store.

[1431] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1432] Step 1:

[1433] A user inputs a policy document using a mobile or wearable device such as a smartphone, tablet, or smart glasses. The policy document uploaded by the user through the application interface is then sent from the device to the server.

[1434] Input: Policy document (text file)

[1435] Output: Data sent to the server (policy document)

[1436] Step 2:

[1437] The server analyzes the received policy document using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, specifically using SpaCy and Transformers to perform grammatical analysis and keyword extraction, evaluate the importance of each sentence, and extract key points.

[1438] Input: Policy document

[1439] Data processing / data calculation: grammatical analysis, keyword extraction, importance evaluation

[1440] Output: Extracted important sentences (text data)

[1441] Step 3:

[1442] The server generates a summary based on the extracted key sentences, provides the summary in a simple format that is easy for users to understand, and stores it in a database.

[1443] Input: Extracted important sentences

[1444] Data processing / data calculation: Execution of summary generation algorithms

[1445] Output: Summary (text data)

[1446] Step 4:

[1447] When a user wants to get more information about a particular topic or keyword, they enter it through the application interface, and this information is sent from the device to the server.

[1448] Input: Topic or keyword

[1449] Output: Data sent to the server (topics and keywords)

[1450] Step 5:

[1451] The server generates detailed explanations of relevant parts based on topics and keywords provided by the user. It uses a generative AI model (e.g., a BERT-based question-answering model) to generate customized explanations and stores them in a database.

[1452] Input: Topics, keywords, policy documents

[1453] Data processing / data calculation: Generating detailed explanations (generating responses from generative AI models)

[1454] Output: Detailed explanation (text data)

[1455] Step 6:

[1456] When a user has a specific question, they send it to the server through the interactive interface, which then analyzes the question, generates an appropriate prompt, and parses the policy document again.

[1457] Input: User question

[1458] Data processing / data calculation: prompt generation, document re-analysis

[1459] Output: Prompt statement, part of analysis result

[1460] Step 7:

[1461] The server generates the best answer to the user's question and sends it to the device, where the user can check the answer on the application.

[1462] Input: prompt statement, analysis result

[1463] Data processing / data calculation: Answer generation (response generation for generative AI models)

[1464] Output: Answer (text data)

[1465] Step 8:

[1466] The server periodically checks for changes to the policy document, and if a change is detected, it parses the new version and automatically updates the summary and customization description. The updated information is notified to the user.

[1467] Input: Modified version of the policy document

[1468] Data processing / data calculations: difference checks, reanalysis, updating summaries and commentary

[1469] Output: Updated summary and commentary (text data)

[1470] Through these steps, the program helps store associates quickly understand policy documents and receive necessary training, while also providing immediate, targeted answers to specific questions.

[1471] 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.

[1472] The system of the present invention efficiently analyzes, summarizes, customizes, updates, and answers user questions about policy documents combined with an emotion engine. An embodiment of the system is described in detail below.

[1473] System configuration and functions

[1474] 1. Document upload and text analysis

[1475] User:

[1476] Users can upload policy documents through a web interface.

[1477] Device:

[1478] The policy document uploaded by the user is sent from the terminal to the server.

[1479] server:

[1480] The server runs a natural language processing (NLP) engine to parse the policy document.

[1481] The NLP engine performs grammatical analysis and keyword extraction, applies a model that evaluates the importance of each sentence, and selects the most important sentences.

[1482] Important sentences are selected and stored in a database on the server.

[1483] 2. Summary Generation

[1484] server:

[1485] A summary is generated based on important sentences from the analysis results.

[1486] The generated summary is presented in a simple format that is easy for the user to understand.

[1501] 5. User Interaction and Emotion Recognition

[1502] User:

[1503] A user can enter a question through an interactive interface.

[1504] For example, you could ask, "How does this policy protect my personal information?"

[1505] Device:

[1506] Based on the user's questions and usage, the device monitors the user's emotions through an emotion engine.

[1507] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotional state and sends the results to the server.

[1508] server:

[1509] The server adjusts the tone and level of detail of its explanations and responses based on the emotional data it receives from the emotion engine. For example, if it detects that the user is confused or stressed, it will provide a more detailed and understandable explanation.

[1510] Specific examples

[1511] For example, a user may request a summary of the privacy policy and would like more information regarding "data retention periods."

[1512] User:

[1513] Upload your privacy policy document via the web interface and enter "data retention period" as a topic of interest.

[1514] Device:

[1515] The document and topic of interest information are sent to the server, and the user's emotional state is also monitored through the emotion engine.

[1516] server:

[1517] Analyzes privacy policy documents, extracts key sentences, and generates summaries.

[1518] Re-analyze the section on "Data Retention Period" and generate a detailed explanation.

[1519] The summaries and customized commentary are stored in a database and are presented to the user in an optimized format based on the results of the sentiment engine.

[1520] Device:

[1521] A summary and customized explanation are displayed to the user. When the user enters a question in the interactive interface, the server generates an answer that takes into account the user's emotional state.

[1522] server:

[1523] Answers to questions are generated and adjusted based on the user's emotional state.

[1524] Device:

[1525] The adjusted answer is displayed to the user.

[1526] This system not only enables users to quickly understand complex policy documents and access the information they need, but also enables them to respond appropriately according to their emotional state, further improving user convenience and understanding and reducing stress.

[1527] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1528] Step 1:

[1529] Users upload policy documents through a web interface.

[1530] Step 2:

[1531] The device receives the uploaded policy document and sends this data to the server.

[1532] Step 3:

[1533] The server inputs the received policy document into a natural language processing (NLP) engine and begins parsing it.

[1534] Step 4:

[1535] The server's NLP engine parses the policy document to extract keywords, then applies a model that evaluates the importance of each sentence to select the most important sentences.

[1536] Step 5:

[1537] The server generates a summary based on the selected key sentences, and the summary is constructed in a concise and easy-to-understand format.

[1538] Step 6:

[1539] The summarized results are stored in a database on the server for quick access later.

[1540] Step 7:

[1541] Users enter specific topics or keywords through a web interface, such as "data retention period."

[1542] Step 8:

[1543] The device sends the topics and keywords entered by the user to the server.

[1544] Step 9:

[1545] Based on the received topics and keywords, the server re-parses the relevant sections in the policy document, extracts the necessary information, and generates a detailed explanation.

[1546] Step 10:

[1547] The generated customized explanations are stored in a database on the server, allowing users to access them at any time.

[1548] Step 11:

[1549] The server periodically checks for updates to the policy document, and if there are any changes, it reparses the new document and updates the summary and customization description.

[1550] Step 12:

[1551] When there is an update, the server notifies the user, who can then access the latest information.

[1552] Step 13:

[1553] Users can enter questions through a conversational interface, such as "How is my personal information protected?"

[1554] Step 14:

[1555] The device sends the user's question to the server.

[1556] Step 15:

[1557] The server reparses the policy document based on the question, extracts relevant information, and generates an answer.

[1558] Step 16:

[1559] When generating an answer, the emotion engine acquires emotion data from the user's device, allowing it to understand the emotional state of the user when they asked the question.

[1560] Step 17:

[1561] The server adjusts the tone and level of detail of the answer based on the emotional data. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it will provide a more detailed and understandable explanation.

[1562] Step 18:

[1563] The generated answer is sent from the server to the device.

[1564] Step 19:

[1565] The device receives the answer from the server and displays it to the user.

[1566] Step 20:

[1567] Users can review the displayed answers and gain a deeper understanding of the policy content.

[1568] The above are the specific operations performed at each processing step in this system. This not only enables users to quickly understand complex policy documents and access the information they need, but also enables them to respond appropriately according to their emotional state. This further improves user convenience and understanding, and reduces stress.

[1569] Example 2

[1570] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1571] Conventional policy document analysis systems not only take time to understand complex documents and extract important information, but also have difficulty reducing user stress because they do not take into account the user's emotional state. Furthermore, when the content of a policy document is changed, updates are not automatically reflected, making it difficult to access the latest information. These problems need to be solved.

[1572] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: a means for inputting a policy document; a means for analyzing the input policy document using natural language processing technology and extracting important points; a means for summarizing the extracted important points; a means for selecting specific parts based on the user's interest and providing detailed explanations; a means for detecting changes to the policy document and updating the summaries and explanations; a means for the user to ask questions through an interactive interface and answer those questions; and a means for monitoring the user's emotional state through an emotion engine and adjusting the tone and level of detail of explanations and answers. This not only allows the user to quickly understand important information and easily access the latest information, but also enables polite responses according to the user's emotional state, thereby reducing stress for the user.

[1573] A "policy document" is a document that describes the policies, rules, and procedures of a company or organization.

[1574] "Natural language processing technology" refers to technology that allows computers to analyze, understand, and generate human language.

[1575] "Key Points" refers to information or elements within a policy document that deserve special attention.

[1576] "Extraction" refers to the process of extracting necessary information from documents or data.

[1577] An "abstract" is a brief description of the overall content of a document.

[1578] "User interests" refers to information or topics that are of particular interest or concern to a user.

[1579] "Specific portion" refers to a specific section or paragraph within a policy document.

[1580] A "detailed description" is a detailed and thorough description of a particular piece of information or topic.

[1581] "Change detection" refers to the ability to automatically identify content changes in policy documents.

[1582] "Updating" refers to the act of modifying data or descriptions to reflect new information or changes.

[1583] An "interactive interface" refers to an interface that allows a user to interact with a system to obtain information.

[1584] An "emotion engine" refers to a technology or system that analyzes a user's emotional state from their input and behavior and evaluates that state.

[1585] "Tone and detail adjustment" refers to the ability to appropriately change the wording and detail of explanations and answers provided depending on the user's emotional state.

[1586] The system of the present invention efficiently analyzes, summarizes, customizes, updates, and answers user questions about policy documents, and an embodiment of the system is described in detail below.

[1933] User:

[1934] A user types into the web interface to get information on a particular topic or keyword of interest, for example, typing "data retention period" into a text box.

[1935] Device:

[1936] The topics and keywords entered are sent to the server as an HTTP POST request.

[1937] server:

[1938] The server receives the request and generates a detailed explanation of the relevant part based on the input topic. The explanation is generated using a language model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-3). The customized explanation is stored in a database and returned to the user's device.

[1939] Regular updates

[1940] server:

[1941] The system uses a cron job or task scheduler to periodically check for changes to policy documents. When changes are detected, the new document version is automatically re-parsed with the NLP engine, and the summary and customization descriptions are automatically updated. Updates are notified to users in real time through a notification system.

[1942] User Interaction

[1943] User:

[1944] Users use a conversational interface (e.g., a chatbot) to enter questions about the policy, such as "How does this policy protect my personal information?"

[1945] Device:

[1946] The user's question is sent directly to the server, and the input content is constructed as an HTTP request in natural language format and sent.

[1947] server:

[1948] The server receives the question, again using an NLP engine or language model to identify the relevant section, generates an answer to the question, and returns the result to the device, where the generated answer is provided to the user in real time.

[1949] Specific examples

[1950] For example, a specific flow will be described below when a user requests detailed information about the "data storage period."

[1951] User:

[1952] Upload your privacy policy document via the web interface, enter "Data Retention Period" as the topic of interest, and submit.

[1953] Device:

[1954] Submit the document and topic of interest information to the server as an HTTP POST request.

[1955] server:

[1956] The policy document is analyzed using spaCy, key sentences are extracted, and a summary is generated. The section regarding "data retention period" is then analyzed again, and a detailed explanation is generated using the OpenAI GPT-3 model. The generated summary and customized explanation are stored in a PostgreSQL database and sent to the device as an HTTP response.

[1957] Device:

[1958] Receives the response from the server and displays a summary and customized explanation to the user.

[1959] User:

[1960] Review the information provided to deepen your understanding of the policy. Depending on the topic, you may have more detailed questions or request information on a different topic.

[1961] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1962] "Please extract key statements from the uploaded policy document, generate a summary, and provide a detailed explanation of the 'data retention period'."

[1963] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1964] Step 1:

[1965] User:

[1966] Users upload policy documents through a web interface. Specifically, they can click the file chooser button in their browser to select a local file, or they can drag and drop a file into the interface. The input is the policy document (e.g., a text file or a PDF file). The output is the uploaded file information.

[1967] Step 2:

[1968] Device:

[1969] The uploaded policy document is sent from the terminal to the server. The file contents are sent to the server in multipart format using an HTTP POST request. The input is the local file path, and the output is a successful transfer to the server.

[1970] Step 3:

[1971] server:

[1972] The server temporarily stores the received document and starts a natural language processing (NLP) engine. The server reads the file contents, performs grammatical analysis, extracts keywords, and evaluates the importance of each sentence. The input is the uploaded file contents, and the output is the analysis results (a list of important sentences and their importance). Specifically, it uses the Python-based spaCy to perform grammatical analysis, extracts important keywords, and evaluates the importance of each sentence using the TextRank algorithm.

[1973] Step 4:

[1974] server:

[1975] A summary is generated based on important sentences from the analysis results. Algorithms such as TextRank and BERT are used to generate the summary. The generated summary is stored in a PostgreSQL database. The input is a list of important sentences, and the output is the generated summary. Specifically, it selects important sentences and converts them into a simple format to create a summary.

[1976] Step 5:

[1977] User:

[1978] A user enters information about a particular topic or keyword into a web interface. The input is typing the topic or keyword (e.g., "data retention period") into a text box. The output is sending that information to a server.

[1979] Step 6:

[1980] Device:

[1981] The topics and keywords entered by the user are sent to the server as an HTTP POST request. The input is the topic or keyword entered by the user, and the output is the completion of sending the request to the server.

[1982] Step 7:

[1983] server:

[1984] The server receives a request from the user and re-analyzes the relevant document portion based on the input topic. It uses a language model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-3) to generate a detailed explanation and stores the result in a database. The input is the topic, keywords, and the analysis result of the stored document, and the output is a customized detailed explanation. Specifically, it re-analyzes the relevant text and uses a generative AI model to create appropriate and detailed information for the user.

[1985] Step 8:

[1986] server:

[1987] The system uses a cron job or task scheduler to periodically check for changes to policy documents. When changes are detected, the new document version is automatically re-analyzed by the NLP engine and the summary and customized commentary are updated. The input is the latest version of the document, which is periodically retrieved, and the output is the updated summary and commentary. Specifically, the system manages document versions, and if any changes occur, the latest data is retrieved and re-analyzed.

[1988] Step 9:

[1989] User:

[1990] Users use a conversational interface to enter questions about the policy. The input is a question entered through an interface such as a chatbot (e.g., "How does this policy protect my personal information?"), and the output is the entered question being sent to the server.

[1991] Step 10:

[1992] Device:

[1993] The user's question is sent from the terminal to the server. The input is the question entered by the user, and the output is the completion of sending the request to the server.

[1994] Step 11:

[1995] server:

[1996] The server receives the question and again uses an NLP engine or language model to identify relevant sections. It generates an answer to the question and returns the result to the device. The input is the question content and the analysis result of the relevant document parts, and the output is the generated answer. Specifically, it re-analyzes the relevant text and generates an appropriate answer to the user's question.

[1997] (Application example 1)

[1998] 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."

[1999] In physical stores, employee training and customer support require rapid understanding and response to policy documents, but this requires employees to quickly grasp the vast amount of content. However, with conventional methods, this process is cumbersome, and it is difficult to update information or respond quickly to specific questions. To solve these issues, it is necessary to develop a system that can summarize policy documents, provide customized explanations, and provide optimal answers to user questions.

[2000] 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.

[2001] In this invention, the server includes: a means for inputting a policy document; a means for analyzing the input policy document using natural language processing technology and extracting important points; a means for summarizing the extracted important points; a means for selecting specific parts based on a user's interest and providing a detailed explanation; a means for detecting changes in the policy document and updating the summary and explanation; a means for a user to ask questions and have the questions answered through an interactive interface; and a means for providing a summary and customized explanation of the policy document as an application to be installed on a mobile device or wearable device so that store employees can quickly understand the information and receive necessary training. This enables store employees to quickly understand the policy document, stay up to date with the latest information, and obtain accurate answers to specific questions.

[2002] A "policy document" is a document that deals with important policies and procedures such as laws, regulations, and guidelines.

[2003] An "input means" is an interface or device that allows a user to provide information to a system.

[2004] "Natural language processing technology" is a technology that enables computers to understand and process the language that humans use on a daily basis.

[2005] "Key points" are parts of a policy document that have particularly important content or meaning.

[2006] A "summary" is a short, concise summary of the original content.

[2007] "User interests" refer to specific topics or themes that a user is particularly interested in.

[2008] A "detailed explanation" is a specific and detailed explanation intended to provide a deeper understanding of the specific content.

[2009] The "means for detecting changes" is a function that automatically detects changes when the contents of a policy document are updated.

[2010] An "interactive interface" is an interface that allows a user to directly interact with a system and ask questions or give instructions.

[2011] A "mobile device" is a portable electronic device such as a smartphone or tablet.

[2012] A "wearable device" is an electronic device that is worn by the user.

[2013] The following describes a mode for realizing the present invention: The present invention provides a series of configurations and means as an application for mobile devices or wearable devices that enables employees of brick-and-mortar stores to quickly understand policy documents and receive the necessary training.

[2014] First, a user (employee) uses a mobile or wearable device such as a smartphone, tablet, or smart glasses. A dedicated application is installed on this device, and the user can input a policy document through its interface. The device then sends the input policy document to the server.

[2015] When the server receives the policy document, it uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to analyze the document. The NLP technology used includes specific software components such as SpaCy and Transformers (Hugging Face). The NLP engine on the server analyzes the grammar of each sentence and extracts keywords to evaluate and extract key points. The extracted key sentences are stored in a database.

[2016] The server then generates a summary based on the extracted key sentences. This summary is provided to the user in a simple, easy-to-understand format and can be viewed on their device. If the user requests further elaboration on a specific topic or keyword, the server uses a generative AI model, such as a BERT-based question-answering model, to generate a customized explanation based on the user's interests.

[2017] Additionally, the server periodically checks for changes to the policy document and automatically updates the summary and customized description according to any detected changes. This updated information is then posted back to the user's device.

[2018] When a user has a specific question, they send it to the server through a conversational interface. The server then analyzes the policy document again based on the question and generates the best answer. This process also leverages the generative AI model, generating prompts such as:

[2019] Input document:

[2020] "Our stores adhere to the following security policies: First, protecting customer information... (omitted)"

[2021] question:

[2022] "Please explain in more detail how you protect customer information."

[2023] This allows associates to quickly understand information, stay up-to-date on the latest policies, and get instant answers to specific questions, leading to efficient and effective operations in the physical store.

[2024] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[2025] Step 1:

[2026] A user inputs a policy document using a mobile or wearable device such as a smartphone, tablet, or smart glasses. The policy document uploaded by the user through the application interface is then sent from the device to the server.

[2027] Input: Policy document (text file)

[2028] Output: Data sent to the server (policy document)

[2029] Step 2:

[2030] The server analyzes the received policy document using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, specifically using SpaCy and Transformers to perform grammatical analysis and keyword extraction, evaluate the importance of each sentence, and extract key points.

[2031] Input: Policy document

[2032] Data processing / data calculation: grammatical analysis, keyword extraction, importance evaluation

[2033] Output: Extracted important sentences (text data)

[2034] Step 3:

[2035] The server generates a summary based on the extracted key sentences, provides the summary in a simple format that is easy for users to understand, and stores it in a database.

[2036] Input: Extracted important sentences

[2037] Data processing / data calculation: Execution of summary generation algorithms

[2038] Output: Summary (text data)

[2039] Step 4:

[2040] When a user wants to get more information about a particular topic or keyword, they enter it through the application interface, and this information is sent from the device to the server.

[2041] Input: Topic or keyword

[2042] Output: Data sent to the server (topics and keywords)

[2043] Step 5:

[2044] The server generates detailed explanations of relevant parts based on topics and keywords provided by the user. It uses a generative AI model (e.g., a BERT-based question-answering model) to generate customized explanations and stores them in a database.

[2045] Input: Topics, keywords, policy documents

[2046] Data processing / data calculation: Generating detailed explanations (generating responses from generative AI models)

[2047] Output: Detailed explanation (text data)

[2048] Step 6:

[2049] When a user has a specific question, they send it to the server through the interactive interface, which then analyzes the question, generates an appropriate prompt, and parses the policy document again.

[2050] Input: User question

[2051] Data processing / data calculation: prompt generation, document re-analysis

[2052] Output: Prompt statement, part of analysis result

[2053] Step 7:

[2054] The server generates the best answer to the user's question and sends it to the device, where the user can check the answer on the application.

[2055] Input: prompt statement, analysis result

[2056] Data processing / data calculation: Answer generation (response generation for generative AI models)

[2057] Output: Answer (text data)

[2058] Step 8:

[2059] The server periodically checks for changes to the policy document, and if a change is detected, it parses the new version and automatically updates the summary and customization description. The updated information is notified to the user.

[2060] Input: Modified version of the policy document

[2061] Data processing / data calculations: difference checks, reanalysis, updating summaries and commentary

[2062] Output: Updated summary and commentary (text data)

[2063] Through these steps, the program helps store associates quickly understand policy documents and receive necessary training, while also providing immediate, targeted answers to specific questions.

[2064] 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.

[2065] The system of the present invention efficiently analyzes, summarizes, customizes, updates, and answers user questions about policy documents combined with an emotion engine. An embodiment of the system is described in detail below.

[2066] System configuration and functions

[2067] 1. Document upload and text analysis

[2068] User:

[2069] Users can upload policy documents through a web interface.

[2070] Device:

[2071] The policy document uploaded by the user is sent from the terminal to the server.

[2072] server:

[2073] The server runs a natural language processing (NLP) engine to parse the policy document.

[2074] The NLP engine performs grammatical analysis and keyword extraction, applies a model that evaluates the importance of each sentence, and selects the most important sentences.

[2075] Important sentences are selected and stored in a database on the server.

[2076] 2. Summary Generation

[2077] server:

[2078] A summary is generated based on important sentences from the analysis results.

[2079] The generated summary is presented in a simple format that is easy for the user to understand.

[2080] The summaries are stored in a database for quick access at all times.

[2081] 3. Customizable commentary

[2092] When a change is detected, the new version is automatically parsed and the summary and customization description are updated.

[2093] The user is notified of any updated information, so they can always keep up to date with the latest information.

[2094] 5. User Interaction and Emotion Recognition

[2095] User:

[2096] A user can enter a question through an interactive interface.

[2097] For example, you could ask, "How does this policy protect my personal information?"

[2098] Device:

[2099] Based on the user's questions and usage, the device monitors the user's emotions through an emotion engine.

[2100] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotional state and sends the results to the server.

[2101] server:

[2102] The server adjusts the tone and level of detail of its explanations and responses based on the emotional data it receives from the emotion engine. For example, if it detects that the user is confused or stressed, it will provide a more detailed and understandable explanation.

[2103] Specific examples

[2104] For example, a user may request a summary of the privacy policy and would like more information regarding "data retention periods."

[2105] User:

[2106] Upload your privacy policy document via the web interface and enter "data retention period" as a topic of interest.

[2107] Device:

[2108] The document and topic of interest information are sent to the server, and the user's emotional state is also monitored through the emotion engine.

[2109] server:

[2110] Analyzes privacy policy documents, extracts key sentences, and generates summaries.

[2111] Re-analyze the section on "Data Retention Period" and generate a detailed explanation.

[2112] The summaries and customized commentary are stored in a database and are presented to the user in an optimized format based on the results of the sentiment engine.

[2113] Device:

[2114] A summary and customized explanation are displayed to the user. When the user enters a question in the interactive interface, the server generates an answer that takes into account the user's emotional state.

[2115] server:

[2116] Answers to questions are generated and adjusted based on the user's emotional state.

[2117] Device:

[2118] The adjusted answer is displayed to the user.

[2119] This system not only enables users to quickly understand complex policy documents and access the information they need, but also enables them to respond appropriately according to their emotional state, further improving user convenience and understanding and reducing stress.

[2120] The processing flow will be explained below.

[2121] Step 1:

[2122] Users upload policy documents through a web interface.

[2123] Step 2:

[2124] The device receives the uploaded policy document and sends this data to the server.

[2125] Step 3:

[2126] The server inputs the received policy document into a natural language processing (NLP) engine and begins parsing it.

[2127] Step 4:

[2128] The server's NLP engine parses the policy document to extract keywords, then applies a model that evaluates the importance of each sentence to select the most important sentences.

[2129] Step 5:

[2130] The server generates a summary based on the selected key sentences, and the summary is constructed in a concise and easy-to-understand format.

[2131] Step 6:

[2132] The summarized results are stored in a database on the server for quick access later.

[2133] Step 7:

[2134] Users enter specific topics or keywords through a web interface, such as "data retention period."

[2135] Step 8:

[2136] The device sends the topics and keywords entered by the user to the server.

[2137] Step 9:

[2138] Based on the received topics and keywords, the server re-parses the relevant sections in the policy document, extracts the necessary information, and generates a detailed explanation.

[2139] Step 10:

[2140] The generated customized explanations are stored in a database on the server, allowing users to access them at any time.

[2141] Step 11:

[2142] The server periodically checks for updates to the policy document, and if there are any changes, it reparses the new document and updates the summary and customization description.

[2143] Step 12:

[2144] When there is an update, the server notifies the user, who can then access the latest information.

[2145] Step 13:

[2146] Users can enter questions through a conversational interface, such as "How is my personal information protected?"

[2147] Step 14:

[2148] The device sends the user's question to the server.

[2149] Step 15:

[2150] The server reparses the policy document based on the question, extracts relevant information, and generates an answer.

[2151] Step 16:

[2152] When generating an answer, the emotion engine acquires emotion data from the user's device, allowing it to understand the emotional state of the user when they asked the question.

[2153] Step 17:

[2154] The server adjusts the tone and level of detail of the answer based on the emotional data. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it will provide a more detailed and understandable explanation.

[2155] Step 18:

[2156] The generated answer is sent from the server to the device.

[2157] Step 19:

[2158] The device receives the answer from the server and displays it to the user.

[2159] Step 20:

[2160] Users can review the displayed answers and gain a deeper understanding of the policy content.

[2161] The above are the specific operations performed at each processing step in this system. This not only enables users to quickly understand complex policy documents and access the information they need, but also enables them to respond appropriately according to their emotional state. This further improves user convenience and understanding, and reduces stress.

[2162] Example 2

[2163] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[2164] Conventional policy document analysis systems not only take time to understand complex documents and extract important information, but also have difficulty reducing user stress because they do not take into account the user's emotional state. Furthermore, when the content of a policy document is changed, updates are not automatically reflected, making it difficult to access the latest information. These problems need to be solved.

[2165] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: a means for inputting a policy document; a means for analyzing the input policy document using natural language processing technology and extracting important points; a means for summarizing the extracted important points; a means for selecting specific parts based on the user's interest and providing detailed explanations; a means for detecting changes to the policy document and updating the summaries and explanations; a means for the user to ask questions through an interactive interface and answer those questions; and a means for monitoring the user's emotional state through an emotion engine and adjusting the tone and level of detail of explanations and answers. This not only allows the user to quickly understand important information and easily access the latest information, but also enables polite responses according to the user's emotional state, thereby reducing stress for the user.

[2168] "Key Points" refers to information or elements within a policy document that deserve special attention.

[2169] "Extraction" refers to the process of extracting necessary information from documents or data.

[2170] An "abstract" is a brief description of the overall content of a document.

[2171] "User interests" refers to information or topics that are of particular interest or concern to a user.

[2172] "Specific portion" refers to a specific section or paragraph within a policy document.

[2173] A "detailed description" is a detailed and thorough description of a particular piece of information or topic.

[2174] "Change detection" refers to the ability to automatically identify content changes in policy documents.

[2175] "Updating" refers to the act of modifying data or descriptions to reflect new information or changes.

[2176] An "interactive interface" refers to an interface that allows a user to interact with a system to obtain information.

[2177] An "emotion engine" refers to a technology or system that analyzes a user's emotional state from their input and behavior and evaluates that state.

[2178] "Tone and detail adjustment" refers to the ability to appropriately change the wording and detail of explanations and answers provided depending on the user's emotional state.

[2179] The system of the present invention efficiently analyzes, summarizes, customizes, updates, and answers user questions about policy documents, and an embodiment of the system is described in detail below.

[2180] System configuration and functions

[2181] 1. Document upload and text analysis

[2198] Terminal: Display the adjusted answer to the user. This process is repeated each time the user enters a new question.

[2199] Specific examples

[2200] For example, a user may upload a privacy policy document and request more information about "data retention period."

[2201] User: Uploads a privacy policy document via the web interface and fills in the form field with the topic "Data Retention Period".

[2202] Terminal: Sends document and topic information to the server. The user's emotional state is also monitored through the emotion engine.

[2203] Server: Analyzes the privacy policy document, extracts key sentences, and generates a summary. For example, selects the sentence "Data will be stored for a minimum of five years" as a key sentence. Re-analyzes the section on "Data storage period" and generates a detailed explanation, for example, "Data will be stored for a minimum of five years and then deleted." The summary and customized explanation are stored in a database and provided to the user in an optimized format based on the results of the sentiment engine.

[2204] Device: Display a summary and customized explanation to the user. For example, a dashboard displays a summary and detailed explanation.

[2205] Users: Check if it contains the information they want to know.

[2206] Server: Generates answers to questions as users enter follow-up questions in the conversational interface. Based on the analysis results of the emotion engine, the server adjusts the tone of the answers. For example, if the user is confused, it provides more detailed and polite explanations.

[2207] Terminal: Display the adjusted answer to the user.

[2208] Prompt Sentence Examples

[2209] An example of a prompt to input to a generative AI model could be, "Please summarize the privacy policy document you uploaded and provide detailed information about data retention periods."

[2210] This system allows users to quickly understand complex policy documents and efficiently access the information they need, while also minimizing user stress and confusion through the use of an emotion engine.

[2294] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[2295] In autonomous vehicles, instruction manuals and operating instructions are complex, making it difficult for users to quickly and accurately obtain information. This often leads to confusion and stress. Furthermore, operating errors in such situations could lead to serious accidents. Therefore, there is a need for real-time, customized explanations and question responses that take users' emotions into consideration.

[2296] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[2297] In this invention, the server includes: a means for inputting a policy document; a means for analyzing the input policy document using natural language processing technology and extracting important points; a means for summarizing the extracted important points; a means for selecting specific parts based on the user's interest and providing a detailed explanation; a means for detecting changes to the policy document and updating the summary and explanation; a means for the user to ask questions through an interactive interface and have the questions answered; a means for analyzing the document, extracting important sentences, and generating a summary; and a means for analyzing the user's emotions using an emotion engine and providing a detailed explanation according to the user's emotional state. This allows the user to quickly and accurately understand the instruction manual or operating manual for the autonomous vehicle and receive detailed explanations according to their emotional state, reducing confusion and stress and enabling safe and effective operation.

[2298] "Policy Document" refers to a document regarding various policies and regulations provided to users.

[2299] An "input means" is a device or interface for sending a policy document to a server.

[2300] "Natural language processing technology" is a computer technology for analyzing text data and understanding its meaning.

[2301] "Key Points" are information that is considered particularly important in a policy document.

[2302] An "extraction means" is a mechanism for selecting information from within a document based on certain criteria.

[2303] A "summarizing tool" is a method for concisely summarizing the extracted important points.

[2304] "User interests" are information that a user is particularly interested in or wants to know about.

[2305] "Detailed Description" refers to a detailed explanation of information provided based on the user's interest.

[2306] "Means for detecting changes" refers to the ability to automatically recognize changes to policy documents when they occur.

[2307] An "interactive interface" is a user interface that allows users to directly input questions and instructions into the system.

[2308] An "emotion engine" is a system for analyzing and understanding a user's emotional state.

[2309] "Emotional state" refers to the state of mind that a user feels in a particular situation.

[2310] The system of the present invention is designed to analyze, summarize, customize, and update policy documents, and to answer user questions. In this embodiment, the system is particularly applied to instruction manuals and operation manuals for autonomous vehicles.

[2311] System configuration and functions

[2312] 1. Document upload and text analysis

[2313] Users upload policy documents through input means such as smartphones or smart glasses.

[2314] The terminal transmits the uploaded policy document to the server.

[2315] The server uses natural language processing techniques to parse the policy document and extract key points, including grammar analysis, keyword extraction, and weighting each sentence.

[2316] The extracted important sentences are stored in a database.

[2317] 2. Summary Generation

[2318] The server generates a summary based on key sentences from the analysis results and provides it in a simple format that is easy for users to understand.

[2319] The generated summaries are stored in a database for quick access.

[2320] 3. Customizable commentary

[2321] Users enter topics or keywords of interest into an interactive interface.

[2322] The terminal sends this to the server.

[2323] Based on the topic entered, the server generates a detailed explanation of the relevant parts, including information on specific features and procedures.

[2324] 4. Regular updates

[2325] The server periodically checks for changes to the policy document and automatically parses the new version to update the summary and customization description.

[2326] The updated information will be notified to the user.

[2327] 5. User Interaction and Emotion Recognition

[2328] A user inputs a question through an interactive interface.

[2329] Example: "What are the conditions for airbag deployment?"

[2330] The device monitors the user's emotions through an emotion engine, which analyzes the user's emotional state and sends the results to the server.

[2331] The server adjusts the tone and level of detail of its explanations and responses based on the emotional data it receives from the emotion engine. For example, if it detects that the user is confused or stressed, it will provide a more detailed and understandable explanation.

[2332] Specific examples

[2333] For example, if a user uploads a driverless vehicle instruction manual to their smart glasses and requests detailed information about "airbag deployment conditions," if the emotion engine recognizes "confusion," it will provide a polite response like this:

[2334] Example prompt sentence:

[2335] What are the conditions for airbag deployment?

[2336] Example answer:

[2337] Regarding the conditions for airbag deployment, the airbag system must first detect an emergency situation. It will deploy at a specific speed and angle of impact. Shall I explain this in more detail?

[2338] In this way, the emotion engine adjusts responses according to the user's emotional state, allowing the user to obtain more appropriate and reliable information, preventing operational errors and improving safety.

[2339] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[2340] Step 1:

[2341] Users upload policy documents using their smartphones or smart glasses.

[2342] Input: Policy document

[2343] Output: The policy document is sent to the server.

[2344] Specific operation: The user selects a file through the device interface and clicks the upload button.

[2372] Input: Topics or keywords sent to the server

[2373] Output: Detailed explanation generated

[2374] What happens: The server uses natural language processing techniques to re-parse the relevant section and generate a detailed explanation.

[2375] Step 8:

[2376] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and provide detailed explanations according to their emotional state.

[2377] Input: User emotion data

[2378] Output: Detailed explanation according to emotional state

[2379] Specific operation: The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotional data and adjusts the content and tone of the commentary based on the results.

[2380] Step 9:

[2381] The server periodically checks for changes to the policy document and updates the summary and customization description.

[2382] Input: New policy document

[2383] Output: Updated summary and customization commentary

[2384] What it does: The server periodically reparses the document and updates the summary and detailed description if it detects any changes.

[2385] Step 10:

[2386] A user enters a question through an interactive interface and receives an answer to that question.

[2387] Input: User question

[2388] Output: The answer provided to the user

[2389] Specific operation: The user enters a question into a text box on the interface, clicks the submit button, and the server generates and displays the answer.

[2390] 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.

[2391] 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.

[2392] 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.

[2393] 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.

[2394] 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.

[2395] 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.

[2396] 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).

[2397] 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.

[2398] 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."

[2399] 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.

[2400] 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).

[2401] 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.

[2402] 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.

[2403] 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.

[2404] 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.

[2405] 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.

[2406] 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...
