[0037] The present invention relates to a system that uses a wearable device to automatically detect changes in a user's emotions and record those moments in a diary.
[0038] composition
[0039] The system includes the following elements:
[0040] 1. Wearable devices: Collect biometric data such as pulse rate and brain waves.
[0041] 2. Server: Analyzes biometric data and detects changes in emotions.
[0042] 3. Recording device: Collects audio data and sends it to the server.
[0043] 4. Automatic summarization system: Extracts important information from audio data and converts it into text.
[0044] 5. Smart glasses (optional): Capture images and videos within the user's field of view and send them to a server.
[0045] 6. User interface: displays the diary and notifies the user.
[0046] Operation explanation
[0047] Data collection and emotion detection
[0048] The wearable device constantly monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect moments of significant emotional change, such as excitement at seeing a particular painting in an art museum. When the wearable device detects a change in emotion, it sends that data to a server.
[0049] Audio recording and summarization
[0050] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the most recent voice data and sends it to the server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract key content. For example, a user's expression of emotion, such as "This painting is truly amazing!", can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[0051] Automatic diary generation
[0052] The server creates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text. If necessary, images and videos taken with the smart glasses are also sent to the server, and they are placed at relevant points in the diary entry. For example, in the example above, an image of a painting that moved the user is attached to the diary entry.
[0053] Diary notifications and confirmation
[0054] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or PC, allowing the user to view the diary entry and easily reminisce about special moments from that day.
[0055] Specific examples
[0056] As a practical example, consider the case where a user visits an art museum and experiences a sudden increase in pulse rate upon viewing a particular painting. At this time, the wearable device detects this sudden increase in pulse rate and sends the data to a server. At the same time, the wearable device records the user's emotional words and sends these to the server. The server analyzes these emotional changes and automatically generates a diary entry along with a summarized text. If the user is wearing smart glasses, photos and videos of the painting are also taken and attached to the diary entry. The server then notifies the user that the diary entry is complete, allowing the user to easily check the completed entry.
[0057] In this way, the system of the present invention is a very convenient tool that allows users to effortlessly record special moments in their daily lives and look back on them later.
[0058] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0059] Step 1:
[0060] The device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect a sudden increase in pulse rate when encountering a particular painting in an art museum.
[0061] Step 2:
[0062] When the device detects a change in emotion based on biometric data, it sends the data to a server, indicating that the pulse rate has increased by more than 30% above the normal average.
[0063] Step 3:
[0064] The device records audio data for a certain period of time immediately after detecting a change in emotion, and then transmits this audio data to a server.
[0065] Step 4:
[0066] The server analyzes the received biometric data and voice data, and determines that the user is emotional.
[0067] Step 5:
[0068] The server then runs the recorded audio through an automatic summarization system to extract important content. For example, audio data such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized as "I was moved by the painting."
[0069] Step 6:
[0070] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text and associated metadata, such as a sentence like "Today I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[0071] Step 7:
[0072] If the device includes smart glasses, the device will capture images and videos of the user's field of view the moment a change in emotion is detected, and this data will also be sent to the server.
[0073] Step 8:
[0074] The server places the sent images and videos in the relevant parts of the diary, specifically attaching "photos of paintings that moved you" to the diary.
[0075] Step 9:
[0076] Once the diary creation is complete, the server notifies the user by sending a message to their smartphone or PC.
[0077] Step 10:
[0078] Users can check their diary entries by receiving notifications and easily reread the diary entries created on their smartphones or PCs to relive special moments from that day.

It is also difficult to integrate various information, such as biometric data and voice data, to create a diary based on emotional changes. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can appropriately record changes in a user's emotions and easily review them later.
[0082] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0083] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting biometric data, means for analyzing the biometric data and detecting changes in emotions, means for recording voice data when a change in emotion is detected and transmitting the voice data to the server, means for summarizing the voice data and converting it into concise text on the server, means for automatically generating a diary based on the summarized text, and means for notifying the user of the generated diary. This allows the user to automatically and effortlessly create a diary based on changes in emotions, and easily record and look back on special moments.

[0115] For example, applications for smartphones and tablets are used.
[0116] Operation explanation
[0117] Data collection and emotion detection
[0118] The wearable device constantly monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect moments of significant emotional change, such as excitement at seeing a particular painting in an art museum. When the wearable device detects a change in emotion, it sends that data to a server.
[0119] Audio recording and summarization
[0120] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the most recent voice data and sends it to the server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract key content. For example, a user's expression of emotion, such as "This painting is truly amazing!", can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[0121] Automatic diary generation
[0122] The server creates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text. If necessary, images and videos taken with the smart glasses are also sent to the server, and they are placed at relevant points in the diary entry. For example, in the example above, an image of a painting that moved the user is attached to the diary entry.
[0123] Diary notifications and confirmation
[0124] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or PC, allowing the user to view the diary entry and easily reminisce about special moments from that day.
[0125] Specific examples
[0126] As a practical example, consider the case where a user visits an art museum and sees a particular painting, causing their pulse rate to spike. At this time, the wearable device detects this spike and sends the data to the server. At the same time, the user's words of appreciation, such as "This painting is truly amazing!", are recorded by the recording device and sent to the server.
[0127] The server analyzes the received pulse data and detects changes in emotions. It then runs the audio data through an automatic summarization system, generating text such as "I saw a moving painting at the art museum." The server combines this text with an image of the painting captured by the smart glasses to create a diary entry, and sends a notification to the user's device indicating that the diary entry has been created. The user can easily reminisce about special moments from that day by clicking the notification and viewing the created diary entry.
[0128] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0199] Data collection and emotion detection
[0200] The wearable device constantly monitors the user's biometric data and transmits the data to a server. For example, if a user's pulse rate spikes when they look at a particular product in a physical store, the server can detect this change and determine their emotional state.
[0201] Audio recording and summarization
[0202] When a change in emotion is detected, the voice recorder records the most recent voice data and sends it to the server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract key content. For example, a user's expression of excitement, such as "These new clothes are amazing!", can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I was impressed by my new clothes in the fitting room."
[0203] Automatic diary generation and notifications
[0204] The server automatically generates a diary entry based on the summarized text. If necessary, product images and videos captured by the smart glasses are also sent to the server, and they are placed at relevant points in the diary entry. Furthermore, the server provides relevant product information to the user and records their preferences for those products.
[0205] Specific examples
[0206] Imagine a user visiting a physical store and trying on new clothes, and their pulse rate suddenly rises. At this time, a wearable device detects this change and sends the data to a server. A voice recorder records the user's emotional words and sends them to the server. The server analyzes this data and automatically generates a diary entry based on the summarized text. If the user is wearing smart glasses, they also take photos and videos of the new clothes and attach them to the diary entry. The server then notifies the user of detailed product information along with the diary entry, improving the user's purchasing experience.

[0270] 7. User interface: A function to display and notify the user of the automatically generated diary.
[0271] Operation explanation
[0272] Data collection and emotion recognition
[0273] The wearable device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can record the moment of a significant emotional reaction, such as a sudden spike in pulse rate upon encountering a particular painting in an art museum. The biometric data collected by the device is immediately sent to a server.
[0274] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the received biometric data and determine changes in the user's emotions. For example, the emotion engine may determine that the user is excited based on a sudden increase in pulse rate.
[0275] Audio recording and summarization
[0276] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the voice data at that moment. This recorded voice data is sent to a server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract the key content. For example, a user's statement such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I was moved by the painting."
[0277] Automatic diary generation
[0278] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text, related metadata, and the emotion engine's emotion assessment results. For example, a sentence such as "Today I was excited to see the moving paintings at the art museum."
[0279] Media Data Integration
[0280] If the smart glasses are worn, the wearable device captures images and videos of what is in the user's field of vision and sends them to a server, which then places these media data in relevant sections of the diary. For example, a photo or video of a painting that inspires the user can be added to the diary.
[0281] Diary notifications and confirmation
[0282] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or PC, allowing the user to easily check the diary entry and reminisce about special moments from that day.
[0283] Specific examples
[0284] As a concrete example, consider a case where a user visits an art museum and their pulse rate spikes when they see a particular painting. At this time, the wearable device detects this pulse rate spike and sends the data to the server. The emotion engine analyzes the pulse rate spike and determines that the user is moved. At the same time, the wearable device records the user's words of emotion and sends this audio data to the server. The server analyzes the emotional changes, summarizes the audio data, and automatically generates a diary entry along with related media data. Finally, the server notifies the user that the diary entry is complete, allowing the user to easily view the completed entry.
[0285] In this way, the system of the present invention is a very convenient tool that allows users to effortlessly record special moments in their daily lives and look back on them later.
[0286] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0287] Step 1:
[0288] The device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect a sudden increase in pulse rate when encountering a particular painting in an art museum.
[0289] Step 2:
[0290] When the device detects a change in emotion based on biometric data, it sends the data to a server, indicating that the pulse rate has increased by more than 30% above the normal average.
[0291] Step 3:
[0292] The server analyzes the received biometric data using an emotion engine to determine changes in emotion. For example, the emotion engine may determine that the user is excited based on a sudden increase in pulse rate.
[0293] Step 4:
[0294] The device records voice data for a certain period of time immediately after detecting a change in emotion, and transmits this recorded voice data to a server.
[0295] Step 5:
[0296] The server then runs the recorded audio through an automatic summarization system to extract important content. For example, audio data such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized as "I was moved by the painting."
[0297] Step 6:
[0298] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text, related metadata, and the emotion engine's emotion assessment results. For example, it creates a sentence such as, "Today, I was excited to see a moving painting at the art museum."
[0299] Step 7:
[0300] If the device includes smart glasses, the device will capture images and videos of the user's field of view the moment a change in emotion is detected, and this data will also be sent to the server.
[0301] Step 8:
[0302] The server places the sent images and videos in the relevant parts of the diary. Specifically, photos and videos of paintings that impressed the user are attached to the diary.
[0303] Step 9:
[0304] Once the diary creation is complete, the server notifies the user by sending a message to their smartphone or PC.
[0305] Step 10:
[0306] Users can check their diary entries by receiving notifications and easily reread the diary entries created using their smartphones or PCs to reminisce about special moments from that day.

[0424] A specific embodiment for carrying out the present invention is described below. This embodiment includes the configuration and operation of a specific wearable device, server, and software.
[0425] Data collection and emotion recognition
[0426] Wearable devices collect the user's biometric data (e.g., pulse rate and brain waves) in real time. Specifically, they use pulse sensors and brain wave sensors to monitor changes in the user's emotions and send the data to a server.
[0427] The server analyzes the received biometric data using a specific software module (e.g., BioSignalProcessing library), and then determines the user's emotional changes using an emotion engine (e.g., EmotionEngine library).
[0428] Audio recording and summarization
[0429] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records and transmits the audio data to a server, where it is analyzed using the AutoSummary library to extract key information and convert it into concise text.
[0430] Automatic diary generation
[0431] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text and the emotion determined by the emotion engine. This diary entry contains content such as "I was moved by the climax scene of the movie today." This process is carried out using a content management system.
[0432] Content recommendations
[0433] Based on the generated diary entries and the user's emotional data, personalized content is recommended. For example, new movies or songs are recommended based on past viewing history and emotional data. This system utilizes an AI model and a recommendation engine. The following is an example of a prompt:
[0434] "Recommend new movies that contain elements of movies that have moved the user in the past. Analyze collected biometric and audio data to identify moving moments, and use associated text data and emotion assessment results."

[0436] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or tablet. The user can then review the diary entry and reminisce about special moments from that day. The notification also includes personalized content recommendations.
[0437] Specific examples
[0438] For example, consider the case where a user encounters a moving scene while watching a movie and their pulse rate suddenly rises. At this time, the wearable device detects the sudden rise in pulse rate and sends the data to the server. The server uses an emotion engine to determine the change in emotion and records and summarizes the audio data. Next, a diary entry is generated based on this data, and recommendations for content related to the diary entry are sent to the user's smartphone.
[0439] This allows users to relive special moments and enjoy new emotionally-driven content.
[0440] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0441] Step 1: Collect data
[0442] The wearable device collects the user's biometric data (pulse rate and brain waves) in real time. The collected biometric data is stored in the wearable device's internal memory from the sensor and then periodically sent to a server. The input is the user's pulse rate and brain wave data, and the output is the biometric data sent to the server.
[0443] Step 2: Analyze the data
[0444] The server analyzes the received biometric data using a specific software module (e.g., BioSignalProcessing library). This analysis extracts pulse rate fluctuations and brain wave patterns. The input is the biometric data sent from the wearable device, and the output is the analyzed data. Specifically, this includes pulse rate spikes and specific brain wave patterns.
[0445] Step 3: Determine the emotion
[0446] The server analyzes the analyzed biometric data using an emotion engine (e.g., EmotionEngine library) to determine changes in the user's emotions. The input is the analyzed biometric data, and the output is a judgment result indicating changes in emotions. A specific example of the operation is determining a sudden increase in pulse rate as "joy."
[0447] Step 4: Recording audio data
[0448] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the audio data at that moment, which is then sent to a server. The input is the specific emotion change and its timing, and the output is the recorded audio data.
[0449] Step 5: Summarizing the audio data
[0450] The server analyzes the recorded audio data using the AutoSummary library, extracts important information, and converts it into short text. The input is the recorded audio data, and the output is the summarized text. Specifically, it summarizes the user's words, "This movie is really great!", as "I was moved by the movie."
[0451] Step 6: Automatic generation of diary entries
[0452] The server automatically generates a diary entry based on the summarized text and the emotion determination results from the emotion engine. A text generation algorithm is used for the specific generation. The input is the summarized text and the emotion determination results, and the output is the automatically generated diary entry text. For example, a diary entry such as "Today I was moved by the climax scene of the movie" is generated.
[0453] Step 7: Content Recommendations
[0454] The server recommends personalized content based on the generated diary content and the user's emotional data. Utilizing an AI model and recommendation engine, it can recommend new movies, for example, based on past viewing history and emotional moments. The input is the generated diary and emotional data, and the output is the recommended content.
[0455] Step 8: Notification and confirmation
[0456] When the diary generation is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or tablet. The user can then check the generated diary, reminisce about special moments from that day, and view recommended content. The input is the notification information that the diary has been generated, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's device.
[0457] Through these steps, it becomes possible to accurately capture changes in a user's emotions and automatically recommend individual content based on the results. It also makes it possible to automatically record emotional moments as a diary, allowing users to look back on special moments.

[0474] The present invention relates to a system that uses a wearable device to automatically detect changes in a user's emotions and record those moments in a diary.
[0475] composition
[0476] The system includes the following elements:
[0477] 1. Wearable devices: Collect biometric data such as pulse rate and brain waves.
[0478] 2. Server: Analyzes biometric data and detects changes in emotions.
[0479] 3. Recording device: Collects audio data and sends it to the server.
[0480] 4. Automatic summarization system: Extracts important information from audio data and converts it into text.
[0481] 5. Smart glasses (optional): Capture images and videos within the user's field of view and send them to a server.
[0482] 6. User interface: displays the diary and notifies the user.
[0483] Operation explanation
[0484] Data collection and emotion detection
[0485] The wearable device constantly monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect moments of significant emotional change, such as excitement at seeing a particular painting in an art museum. When the wearable device detects a change in emotion, it sends that data to a server.
[0486] Audio recording and summarization
[0487] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the most recent voice data and sends it to the server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract key content. For example, a user's expression of emotion, such as "This painting is truly amazing!", can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[0488] Automatic diary generation
[0489] The server creates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text. If necessary, images and videos taken with the smart glasses are also sent to the server, and they are placed at relevant points in the diary entry. For example, in the example above, an image of a painting that moved the user is attached to the diary entry.
[0490] Diary notifications and confirmation
[0491] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or PC, allowing the user to view the diary entry and easily reminisce about special moments from that day.
[0492] Specific examples
[0493] As a practical example, consider the case where a user visits an art museum and experiences a sudden increase in pulse rate upon viewing a particular painting. At this time, the wearable device detects this sudden increase in pulse rate and sends the data to a server. At the same time, the wearable device records the user's emotional words and sends these to the server. The server analyzes these emotional changes and automatically generates a diary entry along with a summarized text. If the user is wearing smart glasses, photos and videos of the painting are also taken and attached to the diary entry. The server then notifies the user that the diary entry is complete, allowing the user to easily check the completed entry.
[0494] In this way, the system of the present invention is a very convenient tool that allows users to effortlessly record special moments in their daily lives and look back on them later.
[0495] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0496] Step 1:
[0497] The device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect a sudden increase in pulse rate when encountering a particular painting in an art museum.
[0498] Step 2:
[0499] When the device detects a change in emotion based on biometric data, it sends the data to a server, indicating that the pulse rate has increased by more than 30% above the normal average.
[0500] Step 3:
[0501] The device records audio data for a certain period of time immediately after detecting a change in emotion, and then transmits this audio data to a server.
[0502] Step 4:
[0503] The server analyzes the received biometric data and voice data, and determines that the user is emotional.
[0504] Step 5:
[0505] The server then runs the recorded audio through an automatic summarization system to extract important content. For example, audio data such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized as "I was moved by the painting."
[0506] Step 6:
[0507] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text and associated metadata, such as a sentence like "Today I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[0508] Step 7:
[0509] If the device includes smart glasses, the device will capture images and videos of the user's field of view the moment a change in emotion is detected, and this data will also be sent to the server.
[0510] Step 8:
[0511] The server places the sent images and videos in the relevant parts of the diary, specifically attaching "photos of paintings that moved you" to the diary.
[0512] Step 9:
[0513] Once the diary creation is complete, the server notifies the user by sending a message to their smartphone or PC.
[0514] Step 10:
[0515] Users can check their diary entries by receiving notifications and easily reread the diary entries created on their smartphones or PCs to relive special moments from that day.

[0708] Operation explanation
[0709] Data collection and emotion recognition
[0710] The wearable device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can record the moment of a significant emotional reaction, such as a sudden spike in pulse rate upon encountering a particular painting in an art museum. The biometric data collected by the device is immediately sent to a server.
[0711] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the received biometric data and determine changes in the user's emotions. For example, the emotion engine may determine that the user is excited based on a sudden increase in pulse rate.
[0712] Audio recording and summarization
[0713] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the voice data at that moment. This recorded voice data is sent to a server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract the key content. For example, a user's statement such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I was moved by the painting."
[0714] Automatic diary generation
[0715] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text, related metadata, and the emotion engine's emotion assessment results. For example, a sentence such as "Today I was excited to see the moving paintings at the art museum."
[0716] Media Data Integration
[0717] If the smart glasses are worn, the wearable device captures images and videos of what is in the user's field of vision and sends them to the server, which then places these media data in the relevant parts of the diary. For example, a photo or video of a painting that inspires the user can be pasted into the diary.
[0718] Diary notifications and confirmation
[0719] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or PC, allowing the user to easily check the diary entry and reminisce about special moments from that day.
[0720] Specific examples
[0721] As a concrete example, consider a case where a user visits an art museum and their pulse rate spikes when they see a particular painting. At this time, the wearable device detects this pulse rate spike and sends the data to the server. The emotion engine analyzes the pulse rate spike and determines that the user is moved. At the same time, the wearable device records the user's words of emotion and sends this audio data to the server. The server analyzes the emotional changes, summarizes the audio data, and automatically generates a diary entry along with related media data. Finally, the server notifies the user that the diary entry is complete, allowing the user to easily view the completed entry.
[0722] In this way, the system of the present invention is a very convenient tool that allows users to effortlessly record special moments in their daily lives and look back on them later.
[0723] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0724] Step 1:
[0725] The device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect a sudden increase in pulse rate when encountering a particular painting in an art museum.
[0726] Step 2:
[0727] When the device detects a change in emotion based on biometric data, it sends the data to a server, indicating that the pulse rate has increased by more than 30% above the normal average.
[0728] Step 3:
[0729] The server analyzes the received biometric data using an emotion engine to determine changes in emotion. For example, the emotion engine may determine that the user is excited based on a sudden increase in pulse rate.
[0730] Step 4:
[0731] The device records voice data for a certain period of time immediately after detecting a change in emotion, and transmits this recorded voice data to a server.
[0732] Step 5:
[0733] The server then runs the recorded audio through an automatic summarization system to extract important content. For example, audio data such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized as "I was moved by the painting."
[0734] Step 6:
[0735] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text, related metadata, and the emotion engine's emotion assessment results. For example, it creates a sentence such as, "Today, I was excited to see a moving painting at the art museum."
[0736] Step 7:
[0737] If the device includes smart glasses, the device will capture images and videos of the user's field of view the moment a change in emotion is detected, and this data will also be sent to the server.
[0738] Step 8:
[0739] The server places the sent images and videos in the relevant parts of the diary. Specifically, photos and videos of paintings that impressed the user are attached to the diary.
[0740] Step 9:
[0741] Once the diary creation is complete, the server notifies the user by sending a message to their smartphone or PC.
[0742] Step 10:
[0743] Users can check their diary entries by receiving notifications and easily reread the diary entries created using their smartphones or PCs to reminisce about special moments from that day.

[0852] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0853] The problems with systems that can accurately grasp changes in people's emotions and automatically recommend personalized content based on them are that they require cumbersome manual configuration and detailed log management. Furthermore, there are not enough methods to automatically record intimate moments and special feelings and look back on them as a diary. Furthermore, there are many technical challenges to implementing such emotion-based content recommendation systems.
[0854] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting biometric data using a wearable device, means for determining emotional changes detected by the wearable device, means for recording and summarizing audio related to the emotional changes, means for automatically generating a diary based on the summarized audio data, means for using the automatically generated diary to recommend personalized content, and means for notifying the user of the personalized content. This makes it possible to accurately capture changes in the user's emotions and automatically recommend individual content based on the results. Furthermore, by automatically recording emotional moments as a diary, it becomes possible to look back on special moments.
[0855] A "wearable device" is a device that collects biometric data such as pulse rate and brain waves in real time and transmits it to a server.
[0856] "Changes in emotion" refers to changes in the user's emotional state determined by analyzing biological data such as pulse rate and brain waves.
[0857] The "means for recording and summarizing audio" refers to a means in which the wearable device records audio data the moment a change in emotion is detected, and the server analyzes the audio data to extract important information and convert it into concise text.
[0858] The "means for automatically generating a diary" is a system that automatically generates text about a user's special moments based on summarized voice data and emotion assessment results.

[0860] The "notification means" is a means for notifying the user by sending information about the created diary entry or recommended content to the user's smartphone or tablet.
[0861] A specific embodiment for carrying out the present invention is described below. This embodiment includes the configuration and operation of a specific wearable device, server, and software.
[0862] Data collection and emotion recognition
[0863] Wearable devices collect the user's biometric data (e.g., pulse rate and brain waves) in real time. Specifically, they use pulse sensors and brain wave sensors to monitor changes in the user's emotions and send the data to a server.
[0864] The server analyzes the received biometric data using a specific software module (e.g., BioSignalProcessing library), and then determines the user's emotional changes using an emotion engine (e.g., EmotionEngine library).
[0865] Audio recording and summarization
[0866] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records and transmits the audio data to a server, where it is analyzed using the AutoSummary library to extract key information and convert it into concise text.
[0867] Automatic diary generation
[0868] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text and the emotion determined by the emotion engine. This diary entry contains content such as "I was moved by the climax scene of the movie today." This process is carried out using a content management system.
[0869] Content recommendations
[0870] Based on the generated diary entries and the user's emotional data, personalized content is recommended. For example, new movies or songs are recommended based on past viewing history and emotional data. This system utilizes an AI model and a recommendation engine. The following is an example of a prompt:
[0871] "Recommend new movies that contain elements of movies that have moved the user in the past. Analyze collected biometric and audio data to identify moving moments, and use associated text data and emotion assessment results."
[0872] Notification and confirmation
[0873] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or tablet. The user can then review the diary entry and reminisce about special moments from that day. The notification also includes personalized content recommendations.
[0874] Specific examples
[0875] For example, consider the case where a user encounters a moving scene while watching a movie and their pulse rate suddenly rises. At this time, the wearable device detects the sudden rise in pulse rate and sends the data to the server. The server uses an emotion engine to determine the change in emotion and records and summarizes the audio data. Next, a diary entry is generated based on this data, and recommendations for content related to the diary entry are sent to the user's smartphone.
[0876] This allows users to relive special moments and enjoy new emotionally-driven content.
[0877] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0878] Step 1: Collect data
[0879] The wearable device collects the user's biometric data (pulse rate and brain waves) in real time. The collected biometric data is stored in the wearable device's internal memory from the sensor and then periodically sent to a server. The input is the user's pulse rate and brain wave data, and the output is the biometric data sent to the server.
[0880] Step 2: Analyze the data
[0881] The server analyzes the received biometric data using a specific software module (e.g., BioSignalProcessing library). This analysis extracts pulse rate fluctuations and brain wave patterns. The input is the biometric data sent from the wearable device, and the output is the analyzed data. Specifically, this includes pulse rate spikes and specific brain wave patterns.
[0882] Step 3: Determine the emotion
[0883] The server analyzes the analyzed biometric data using an emotion engine (e.g., EmotionEngine library) to determine changes in the user's emotions. The input is the analyzed biometric data, and the output is a judgment result indicating changes in emotions. A specific example of the operation is determining a sudden increase in pulse rate as "joy."
[0884] Step 4: Recording audio data
[0885] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the audio data at that moment, which is then sent to a server. The input is the specific emotion change and its timing, and the output is the recorded audio data.
[0886] Step 5: Summarizing the audio data
[0887] The server analyzes the recorded audio data using the AutoSummary library, extracts important information, and converts it into short text. The input is the recorded audio data, and the output is the summarized text. Specifically, it summarizes the user's words, "This movie is really great!", as "I was moved by the movie."
[0888] Step 6: Automatic generation of diary entries
[0889] The server automatically generates a diary entry based on the summarized text and the emotion determination results from the emotion engine. A text generation algorithm is used for the specific generation. The input is the summarized text and the emotion determination results, and the output is the automatically generated diary entry text. For example, a diary entry such as "Today I was moved by the climax scene of the movie" is generated.
[0890] Step 7: Content Recommendations
[0891] The server recommends personalized content based on the generated diary content and the user's emotional data. Utilizing an AI model and recommendation engine, it can recommend new movies, for example, based on past viewing history and emotional moments. The input is the generated diary and emotional data, and the output is the recommended content.
[0892] Step 8: Notification and confirmation
[0893] When the diary generation is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or tablet. The user can then check the generated diary, reminisce about special moments from that day, and view recommended content. The input is the notification information that the diary has been generated, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's device.
[0894] Through these steps, it becomes possible to accurately capture changes in a user's emotions and automatically recommend individual content based on the results. It also makes it possible to automatically record emotional moments as a diary, allowing users to look back on special moments.
[0895] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0896] 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.

[0924] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the most recent voice data and sends it to the server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract key content. For example, a user's expression of emotion, such as "This painting is truly amazing!", can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[0925] Automatic diary generation
[0926] The server creates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text. If necessary, images and videos taken with the smart glasses are also sent to the server, and they are placed at relevant points in the diary entry. For example, in the example above, an image of a painting that moved the user is attached to the diary entry.
[0927] Diary notifications and confirmation
[0928] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or PC, allowing the user to view the diary entry and easily reminisce about special moments from that day.
[0929] Specific examples
[0930] As a practical example, consider the case where a user visits an art museum and experiences a sudden increase in pulse rate upon viewing a particular painting. At this time, the wearable device detects this sudden increase in pulse rate and sends the data to a server. At the same time, the wearable device records the user's emotional words and sends these to the server. The server analyzes these emotional changes and automatically generates a diary entry along with a summarized text. If the user is wearing smart glasses, photos and videos of the painting are also taken and attached to the diary entry. The server then notifies the user that the diary entry is complete, allowing the user to easily check the completed entry.
[0931] In this way, the system of the present invention is a very convenient tool that allows users to effortlessly record special moments in their daily lives and look back on them later.
[0932] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0933] Step 1:
[0934] The device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect a sudden increase in pulse rate when encountering a particular painting in an art museum.
[0935] Step 2:
[0936] When the device detects a change in emotion based on biometric data, it sends the data to a server, indicating that the pulse rate has increased by more than 30% above the normal average.
[0937] Step 3:
[0938] The device records audio data for a certain period of time immediately after detecting a change in emotion, and then transmits this audio data to a server.
[0939] Step 4:
[0940] The server analyzes the received biometric data and voice data, and determines that the user is emotional.
[0941] Step 5:
[0942] The server then runs the recorded audio through an automatic summarization system to extract important content. For example, audio data such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized as "I was moved by the painting."
[0943] Step 6:
[0944] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text and associated metadata, such as a sentence like "Today I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[0945] Step 7:
[0946] If the device includes smart glasses, the device will capture images and videos of the user's field of view the moment a change in emotion is detected, and this data will also be sent to the server.
[0947] Step 8:
[0948] The server places the sent images and videos in the relevant parts of the diary, specifically attaching "photos of paintings that moved you" to the diary.
[0949] Step 9:
[0950] Once the diary creation is complete, the server notifies the user by sending a message to their smartphone or PC.
[0951] Step 10:
[0952] Users can check their diary entries by receiving notifications and easily reread the diary entries created on their smartphones or PCs to relive special moments from that day.

For example, it can detect moments of significant emotional change, such as excitement at seeing a particular painting in an art museum. When the wearable device detects a change in emotion, it sends that data to a server.
[0993] Audio recording and summarization
[0994] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the most recent voice data and sends it to the server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract key content. For example, a user's expression of emotion, such as "This painting is truly amazing!", can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[0995] Automatic diary generation
[0996] The server creates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text. If necessary, images and videos taken with the smart glasses are also sent to the server, and they are placed at relevant points in the diary entry. For example, in the example above, an image of a painting that moved the user is attached to the diary entry.
[0997] Diary notifications and confirmation
[0998] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or PC, allowing the user to view the diary entry and easily reminisce about special moments from that day.
[0999] Specific examples
[1000] As a practical example, consider the case where a user visits an art museum and sees a particular painting, causing their pulse rate to spike. At this time, the wearable device detects this spike and sends the data to the server. At the same time, the user's words of appreciation, such as "This painting is truly amazing!", are recorded by the recording device and sent to the server.
[1001] The server analyzes the received pulse data and detects changes in emotions. It then runs the audio data through an automatic summarization system, generating text such as "I saw a moving painting at the art museum." The server combines this text with an image of the painting captured by the smart glasses to create a diary entry, and sends a notification to the user's device indicating that the diary entry has been created. The user can easily reminisce about special moments from that day by clicking the notification and viewing the created diary entry.

[1145] Operation explanation
[1146] Data collection and emotion recognition
[1147] The wearable device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can record the moment of a significant emotional reaction, such as a sudden spike in pulse rate upon encountering a particular painting in an art museum. The biometric data collected by the device is immediately sent to a server.
[1148] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the received biometric data and determine changes in the user's emotions. For example, the emotion engine may determine that the user is excited based on a sudden increase in pulse rate.
[1149] Audio recording and summarization
[1150] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the voice data at that moment. This recorded voice data is sent to a server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract the key content. For example, a user's statement such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I was moved by the painting."
[1151] Automatic diary generation
[1152] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text, related metadata, and the emotion engine's emotion assessment results. For example, a sentence such as "Today I was excited to see the moving paintings at the art museum."
[1153] Media Data Integration
[1154] If the smart glasses are worn, the wearable device captures images and videos of what is in the user's field of vision and sends them to a server, which then places these media data in relevant sections of the diary. For example, a photo or video of a painting that inspires the user can be added to the diary.
[1155] Diary notifications and confirmation
[1156] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or PC, allowing the user to easily check the diary entry and reminisce about special moments from that day.
[1157] Specific examples
[1158] As a concrete example, consider a case where a user visits an art museum and their pulse rate spikes when they see a particular painting. At this time, the wearable device detects this pulse rate spike and sends the data to the server. The emotion engine analyzes the pulse rate spike and determines that the user is moved. At the same time, the wearable device records the user's words of emotion and sends this audio data to the server. The server analyzes the emotional changes, summarizes the audio data, and automatically generates a diary entry along with related media data. Finally, the server notifies the user that the diary entry is complete, allowing the user to easily view the completed entry.
[1159] In this way, the system of the present invention is a very convenient tool that allows users to effortlessly record special moments in their daily lives and look back on them later.
[1160] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1161] Step 1:
[1162] The device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect a sudden increase in pulse rate when encountering a particular painting in an art museum.
[1163] Step 2:
[1164] When the device detects a change in emotion based on biometric data, it sends the data to a server, indicating that the pulse rate has increased by more than 30% above the normal average.
[1165] Step 3:
[1166] The server analyzes the received biometric data using an emotion engine to determine changes in emotion. For example, the emotion engine may determine that the user is excited based on a sudden increase in pulse rate.
[1167] Step 4:
[1168] The device records voice data for a certain period of time immediately after detecting a change in emotion, and transmits this recorded voice data to a server.
[1169] Step 5:
[1170] The server then runs the recorded audio through an automatic summarization system to extract important content. For example, audio data such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized as "I was moved by the painting."
[1171] Step 6:
[1172] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text, related metadata, and the emotion engine's emotion assessment results. For example, it creates a sentence such as, "Today, I was excited to see a moving painting at the art museum."
[1173] Step 7:
[1174] If the device includes smart glasses, the device will capture images and videos of the user's field of view the moment a change in emotion is detected, and this data will also be sent to the server.
[1175] Step 8:
[1176] The server places the sent images and videos in the relevant parts of the diary. Specifically, photos and videos of paintings that impressed the user are attached to the diary.
[1177] Step 9:
[1178] Once the diary creation is complete, the server notifies the user by sending a message to their smartphone or PC.
[1179] Step 10:
[1180] Users can check their diary entries by receiving notifications and easily reread the diary entries created using their smartphones or PCs to reminisce about special moments from that day.

[1288] (Application example 2)
[1289] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1290] The problems with systems that can accurately grasp changes in people's emotions and automatically recommend personalized content based on them are that they require cumbersome manual configuration and detailed log management. Furthermore, there are not enough methods to automatically record intimate moments and special feelings and look back on them as a diary. Furthermore, there are many technical challenges to implementing such emotion-based content recommendation systems.
[1291] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting biometric data using a wearable device, means for determining emotional changes detected by the wearable device, means for recording and summarizing audio related to the emotional changes, means for automatically generating a diary based on the summarized audio data, means for using the automatically generated diary to recommend personalized content, and means for notifying the user of the personalized content. This makes it possible to accurately capture changes in the user's emotions and automatically recommend individual content based on the results. Furthermore, by automatically recording emotional moments as a diary, it becomes possible to look back on special moments.
[1292] A "wearable device" is a device that collects biometric data such as pulse rate and brain waves in real time and transmits it to a server.
[1293] "Changes in emotion" refers to changes in the user's emotional state determined by analyzing biological data such as pulse rate and brain waves.
[1294] The "means for recording and summarizing audio" refers to a means in which the wearable device records audio data the moment a change in emotion is detected, and the server analyzes the audio data to extract important information and convert it into concise text.
[1295] The "means for automatically generating a diary" is a system that automatically generates text about a user's special moments based on summarized voice data and emotion assessment results.
[1296] The "means used for personalized content recommendation" is a system that selects and recommends individually appropriate content to users based on the contents of the generated diary and the user's emotional data.
[1297] The "notification means" is a means for notifying the user by sending information about the created diary entry or recommended content to the user's smartphone or tablet.
[1298] A specific embodiment for carrying out the present invention is described below. This embodiment includes the configuration and operation of a specific wearable device, server, and software.
[1299] Data collection and emotion recognition
[1300] Wearable devices collect the user's biometric data (e.g., pulse rate and brain waves) in real time. Specifically, they use pulse sensors and brain wave sensors to monitor changes in the user's emotions and send the data to a server.
[1301] The server analyzes the received biometric data using a specific software module (e.g., BioSignalProcessing library), and then determines the user's emotional changes using an emotion engine (e.g., EmotionEngine library).
[1302] Audio recording and summarization
[1303] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records and transmits the audio data to a server, where it is analyzed using the AutoSummary library to extract key information and convert it into concise text.
[1304] Automatic diary generation
[1305] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text and the emotion determined by the emotion engine. This diary entry contains content such as "I was moved by the climax scene of the movie today." This process is carried out using a content management system.
[1306] Content recommendations
[1307] Based on the generated diary entries and the user's emotional data, personalized content is recommended. For example, new movies or songs are recommended based on past viewing history and emotional data. This system utilizes an AI model and a recommendation engine. The following is an example of a prompt:
[1308] "Recommend new movies that contain elements of movies that have moved the user in the past. Analyze collected biometric and audio data to identify moving moments, and use associated text data and emotion assessment results."
[1309] Notification and confirmation
[1310] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or tablet. The user can then review the diary entry and reminisce about special moments from that day. The notification also includes personalized content recommendations.
[1311] Specific examples
[1312] For example, consider the case where a user encounters a moving scene while watching a movie and their pulse rate suddenly rises. At this time, the wearable device detects the sudden rise in pulse rate and sends the data to the server. The server uses an emotion engine to determine the change in emotion and records and summarizes the audio data. Next, a diary entry is generated based on this data, and recommendations for content related to the diary entry are sent to the user's smartphone.
[1313] This allows users to relive special moments and enjoy new emotionally-driven content.
[1314] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1315] Step 1: Collect data
[1316] The wearable device collects the user's biometric data (pulse rate and brain waves) in real time. The collected biometric data is stored in the wearable device's internal memory from the sensor and then periodically sent to a server. The input is the user's pulse rate and brain wave data, and the output is the biometric data sent to the server.
[1317] Step 2: Analyze the data
[1318] The server analyzes the received biometric data using a specific software module (e.g., BioSignalProcessing library). This analysis extracts pulse rate fluctuations and brain wave patterns. The input is the biometric data sent from the wearable device, and the output is the analyzed data. Specifically, this includes pulse rate spikes and specific brain wave patterns.
[1319] Step 3: Determine the emotion
[1320] The server analyzes the analyzed biometric data using an emotion engine (e.g., EmotionEngine library) to determine changes in the user's emotions. The input is the analyzed biometric data, and the output is a judgment result indicating changes in emotions. A specific example of the operation is determining a sudden increase in pulse rate as "joy."
[1321] Step 4: Recording audio data
[1322] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the audio data at that moment, which is then sent to a server. The input is the specific emotion change and its timing, and the output is the recorded audio data.
[1323] Step 5: Summarizing the audio data
[1324] The server analyzes the recorded audio data using the AutoSummary library, extracts important information, and converts it into short text. The input is the recorded audio data, and the output is the summarized text. Specifically, it summarizes the user's words, "This movie is really great!", as "I was moved by the movie."
[1325] Step 6: Automatic generation of diary entries
[1326] The server automatically generates a diary entry based on the summarized text and the emotion determination results from the emotion engine. A text generation algorithm is used for the specific generation. The input is the summarized text and the emotion determination results, and the output is the automatically generated diary entry text. For example, a diary entry such as "Today I was moved by the climax scene of the movie" is generated.
[1327] Step 7: Content Recommendations
[1328] The server recommends personalized content based on the generated diary content and the user's emotional data. Utilizing an AI model and recommendation engine, it can recommend new movies, for example, based on past viewing history and emotional moments. The input is the generated diary and emotional data, and the output is the recommended content.
[1329] Step 8: Notification and confirmation
[1330] When the diary generation is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or tablet. The user can then check the generated diary, reminisce about special moments from that day, and view recommended content. The input is the notification information that the diary has been generated, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's device.
[1331] Through these steps, it becomes possible to accurately capture changes in a user's emotions and automatically recommend individual content based on the results. It also makes it possible to automatically record emotional moments as a diary, allowing users to look back on special moments.
[1332] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1333] 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.

[1349] The present invention relates to a system that uses a wearable device to automatically detect changes in a user's emotions and record those moments in a diary.
[1350] composition
[1351] The system includes the following elements:
[1352] 1. Wearable devices: Collect biometric data such as pulse rate and brain waves.
[1353] 2. Server: Analyzes biometric data and detects changes in emotions.
[1354] 3. Recording device: Collects audio data and sends it to the server.
[1355] 4. Automatic summarization system: Extracts important information from audio data and converts it into text.
[1356] 5. Smart glasses (optional): Capture images and videos within the user's field of view and send them to a server.
[1357] 6. User interface: displays the diary and notifies the user.
[1358] Operation explanation
[1359] Data collection and emotion detection
[1360] The wearable device constantly monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect moments of significant emotional change, such as excitement at seeing a particular painting in an art museum. When the wearable device detects a change in emotion, it sends that data to a server.
[1361] Audio recording and summarization
[1362] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the most recent voice data and sends it to the server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract key content. For example, a user's expression of emotion, such as "This painting is truly amazing!", can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[1363] Automatic diary generation
[1364] The server creates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text. If necessary, images and videos taken with the smart glasses are also sent to the server, and they are placed at relevant points in the diary entry. For example, in the example above, an image of a painting that moved the user is attached to the diary entry.
[1365] Diary notifications and confirmation
[1366] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or PC, allowing the user to view the diary entry and easily reminisce about special moments from that day.
[1367] Specific examples
[1368] As a practical example, consider the case where a user visits an art museum and experiences a sudden increase in pulse rate upon viewing a particular painting. At this time, the wearable device detects this sudden increase in pulse rate and sends the data to a server. At the same time, the wearable device records the user's emotional words and sends these to the server. The server analyzes these emotional changes and automatically generates a diary entry along with a summarized text. If the user is wearing smart glasses, photos and videos of the painting are also taken and attached to the diary entry. The server then notifies the user that the diary entry is complete, allowing the user to easily check the completed entry.
[1369] In this way, the system of the present invention is a very convenient tool that allows users to effortlessly record special moments in their daily lives and look back on them later.
[1370] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1371] Step 1:
[1372] The device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect a sudden increase in pulse rate when encountering a particular painting in an art museum.
[1373] Step 2:
[1374] When the device detects a change in emotion based on biometric data, it sends the data to a server, indicating that the pulse rate has increased by more than 30% above the normal average.
[1375] Step 3:
[1376] The device records audio data for a certain period of time immediately after detecting a change in emotion, and then transmits this audio data to a server.
[1377] Step 4:
[1378] The server analyzes the received biometric data and voice data, and determines that the user is emotional.
[1379] Step 5:
[1380] The server then runs the recorded audio through an automatic summarization system to extract important content. For example, audio data such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized as "I was moved by the painting."
[1381] Step 6:
[1382] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text and associated metadata, such as a sentence like "Today I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[1383] Step 7:
[1384] If the device includes smart glasses, the device will capture images and videos of the user's field of view the moment a change in emotion is detected, and this data will also be sent to the server.
[1385] Step 8:
[1386] The server places the sent images and videos in the relevant parts of the diary, specifically attaching "photos of paintings that moved you" to the diary.
[1387] Step 9:
[1388] Once the diary creation is complete, the server notifies the user by sending a message to their smartphone or PC.
[1389] Step 10:
[1390] Users can check their diary entries by receiving notifications and easily reread the diary entries created on their smartphones or PCs to relive special moments from that day.

[1425] 6. User Interface
[1426] Display the diary and notify the user.
[1427] For example, applications for smartphones and tablets are used.
[1428] Operation explanation
[1429] Data collection and emotion detection
[1430] The wearable device constantly monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect moments of significant emotional change, such as excitement at seeing a particular painting in an art museum. When the wearable device detects a change in emotion, it sends that data to a server.
[1431] Audio recording and summarization
[1432] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the most recent voice data and sends it to the server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract key content. For example, a user's expression of emotion, such as "This painting is truly amazing!", can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[1433] Automatic diary generation
[1434] The server creates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text. If necessary, images and videos taken with the smart glasses are also sent to the server, and they are placed at relevant points in the diary entry. For example, in the example above, an image of a painting that moved the user is attached to the diary entry.
[1435] Diary notifications and confirmation
[1436] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or PC, allowing the user to view the diary entry and easily reminisce about special moments from that day.
[1437] Specific examples
[1438] As a practical example, consider the case where a user visits an art museum and sees a particular painting, causing their pulse rate to spike. At this time, the wearable device detects this spike and sends the data to the server. At the same time, the user's words of appreciation, such as "This painting is truly amazing!", are recorded by the recording device and sent to the server.
[1439] The server analyzes the received pulse data and detects changes in emotions. It then runs the audio data through an automatic summarization system, generating text such as "I saw a moving painting at the art museum." The server combines this text with an image of the painting captured by the smart glasses to create a diary entry, and sends a notification to the user's device indicating that the diary entry has been created. The user can easily reminisce about special moments from that day by clicking the notification and viewing the created diary entry.
[1440] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1441] "Enter the following prompt into the generative AI model: 'Summarize the voice data when changes in emotion are detected and generate a diary. As a concrete example, we will provide voice data and pulse rate data from when the user saw a painting that moved them in an art museum.'"

[1452] Output: Flag indicating change in emotion
[1453] Specific actions
[1454] The server analyzes the received biometric data and uses a specific algorithm to detect changes in emotions. For example, if the pulse rate rises above a certain threshold, it recognizes this as a change in emotion. A flag indicating a change in emotion is then raised, and the system proceeds to the next processing step.
[1455] Step 3:
[1456] Recording and transmitting audio data
[1457] Input: Flag indicating change in emotion
[1458] Output: Sending recorded audio data to the server
[1459] Specific actions
[1460] When a flag indicating a change in emotion is raised, the wearable device or recording device will record the most recent voice data. The recorded voice data will be sent to the server. For example, the user's voice saying, "This painting is really amazing!" will be recorded.
[1461] Step 4:
[1462] Summarizing audio data
[1463] Input: Audio data sent to the server
[1464] Output: Summarized text
[1465] Specific actions
[1466] The server then runs the received audio data through an automatic summarization system, extracting key information and converting it into concise text. Using a generative AI model, the server analyzes the audio data, such as "This painting is truly amazing!", and generates the summary text, "I saw a moving painting at the art museum."
[1467] Step 5:
[1468] Diary generation
[1469] Input: Summarized text, images and videos taken with smart glasses (optional)
[1470] Output: Generated diary

[1472] The server uses the summarized text to create a draft diary entry, and simultaneously completes the diary entry by placing any images or videos taken with the smart glasses in relevant places. For example, an image of a painting that moved the user can be attached to the diary entry.
[1473] Step 6:
[1474] Diary notifications
[1475] Input: Generated diary
[1476] Output: Notification to the user interface
[1477] Specific actions
[1478] When the diary is completed, the server notifies the user's device (smartphone or PC) that the diary has been created. The user receives this notification and knows that the diary is complete.
[1479] Step 7:
[1480] Checking the diary
[1481] Input: Notification from the user interface
[1482] Output: User confirms diary entry
[1483] Specific actions

[1581] 6. Smart glasses (optional): Capture images and videos within the user's field of view and send them to a server.
[1582] 7. User interface: A function to display and notify the user of the automatically generated diary.
[1583] Operation explanation
[1584] Data collection and emotion recognition
[1585] The wearable device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can record the moment of a significant emotional reaction, such as a sudden spike in pulse rate upon encountering a particular painting in an art museum. The biometric data collected by the device is immediately sent to a server.
[1586] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the received biometric data and determine changes in the user's emotions. For example, the emotion engine may determine that the user is excited based on a sudden increase in pulse rate.
[1587] Audio recording and summarization
[1588] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the voice data at that moment. This recorded voice data is sent to a server. The server then uses an automatic summarization system to extract the key content. For example, a user's statement such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized and converted into a concise text such as "I was moved by the painting."
[1589] Automatic diary generation
[1590] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text, related metadata, and the emotion engine's emotion assessment results. For example, a sentence such as "Today I was excited to see the moving paintings at the art museum."
[1591] Media Data Integration
[1592] If the smart glasses are worn, the wearable device captures images and videos of what is in the user's field of vision and sends them to the server, which then places these media data in the relevant parts of the diary. For example, a photo or video of a painting that inspires the user can be pasted into the diary.
[1593] Diary notifications and confirmation
[1594] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or PC, allowing the user to easily check the diary entry and reminisce about special moments from that day.
[1595] Specific examples
[1596] As a concrete example, consider a case where a user visits an art museum and their pulse rate spikes when they see a particular painting. At this time, the wearable device detects this pulse rate spike and sends the data to the server. The emotion engine analyzes the pulse rate spike and determines that the user is moved. At the same time, the wearable device records the user's words of emotion and sends this audio data to the server. The server analyzes the emotional changes, summarizes the audio data, and automatically generates a diary entry along with related media data. Finally, the server notifies the user that the diary entry is complete, allowing the user to easily view the completed entry.
[1597] In this way, the system of the present invention is a very convenient tool that allows users to effortlessly record special moments in their daily lives and look back on them later.
[1598] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1599] Step 1:
[1600] The device monitors the user's biometric data, such as pulse rate and brain waves, in real time. For example, it can detect a sudden increase in pulse rate when encountering a particular painting in an art museum.
[1601] Step 2:
[1602] When the device detects a change in emotion based on biometric data, it sends the data to a server, indicating that the pulse rate has increased by more than 30% above the normal average.
[1603] Step 3:
[1604] The server analyzes the received biometric data using an emotion engine to determine changes in emotion. For example, the emotion engine may determine that the user is excited based on a sudden increase in pulse rate.
[1605] Step 4:
[1606] The device records voice data for a certain period of time immediately after detecting a change in emotion, and transmits this recorded voice data to a server.
[1607] Step 5:
[1608] The server then runs the recorded audio through an automatic summarization system to extract important content. For example, audio data such as "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized as "I was moved by the painting."
[1609] Step 6:
[1610] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text, related metadata, and the emotion engine's emotion assessment results. For example, it creates a sentence such as, "Today, I was excited to see a moving painting at the art museum."
[1611] Step 7:
[1612] If the device includes smart glasses, the device will capture images and videos of the user's field of view the moment a change in emotion is detected, and this data will also be sent to the server.
[1613] Step 8:
[1614] The server places the sent images and videos in the relevant parts of the diary. Specifically, photos and videos of paintings that impressed the user are attached to the diary.
[1615] Step 9:
[1616] Once the diary creation is complete, the server notifies the user by sending a message to their smartphone or PC.
[1617] Step 10:
[1618] Users can check their diary entries by receiving notifications and easily reread the diary entries created using their smartphones or PCs to reminisce about special moments from that day.

[1696] Step 4:
[1697] emotion judgment
[1698] The server uses the emotion engine to determine changes in emotions based on the analysis results. For example, if the pulse rate suddenly increases, the emotion engine will determine this as "excitement" or "emotion."
[1699] Input: Analysis results (e.g., sudden increase in pulse rate)
[1700] Output: Emotional judgment result (e.g. excitement, emotion)
[1701] Step 5:
[1702] Audio recording
[1703] When a change in emotion is detected, the device records the audio at that moment. For example, if the user says, "This painting is so beautiful!", the audio data will be recorded.
[1704] Input: Emotion determination result (e.g., excitement, emotion)
[1705] Output: Recorded audio data
[1706] Step 6:
[1707] Audio Summary
[1708] The recorded voice data is sent to a server, which then converts the voice data into text using an automatic summarization system. For example, the voice data "This painting is truly amazing!" can be summarized as "I was moved by the painting."
[1709] Input: Recorded audio data
[1710] Output: Summarized text data
[1711] Step 7:
[1712] diary generation
[1713] The server automatically generates a diary entry based on the summarized text data, the analysis of biometric data, and the emotion determination results. For example, a sentence such as "Today I was excited to see a moving painting at the art museum."
[1714] Input: Summarized text data, biometric data analysis results, emotion determination results
[1715] Output: Auto-generated diary entry
[1716] Step 8:
[1717] Media Data Integration
[1718] When the smart glasses are worn, they capture images and videos of the user's field of vision and send them to a server, which then places them in the appropriate section of the diary. For example, a photo of a painting that moved the user might be attached to the diary.
[1719] Input: Image and video data captured by smart glasses
[1720] Output: Diary entries with integrated image and video data
[1721] Step 9:
[1722] Diary notification and display
[1723] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification of the entry to the user's smartphone or PC. The user receives the notification and can check the entry.
[1724] Input: Auto-generated diary entry
[1725] Output: Notifications and diary entries on the user's device
[1726] (Application example 2)
[1727] 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."
[1728] The problems with systems that can accurately grasp changes in people's emotions and automatically recommend personalized content based on them are that they require cumbersome manual configuration and detailed log management. Furthermore, there are not enough methods to automatically record intimate moments and special feelings and look back on them as a diary. Furthermore, there are many technical challenges to implementing such emotion-based content recommendation systems.
[1729] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting biometric data using a wearable device, means for determining emotional changes detected by the wearable device, means for recording and summarizing audio related to the emotional changes, means for automatically generating a diary based on the summarized audio data, means for using the automatically generated diary to recommend personalized content, and means for notifying the user of the personalized content. This makes it possible to accurately capture changes in the user's emotions and automatically recommend individual content based on the results. Furthermore, by automatically recording emotional moments as a diary, it becomes possible to look back on special moments.
[1730] A "wearable device" is a device that collects biometric data such as pulse rate and brain waves in real time and transmits it to a server.
[1731] "Changes in emotion" refers to changes in the user's emotional state determined by analyzing biological data such as pulse rate and brain waves.
[1732] The "means for recording and summarizing audio" refers to a means in which the wearable device records audio data the moment a change in emotion is detected, and the server analyzes the audio data to extract important information and convert it into concise text.
[1733] The "means for automatically generating a diary" is a system that automatically generates text about a user's special moments based on summarized voice data and emotion assessment results.
[1734] The "means used for personalized content recommendation" is a system that selects and recommends individually appropriate content to users based on the contents of the generated diary and the user's emotional data.
[1735] The "notification means" is a means for notifying the user by sending information about the created diary entry or recommended content to the user's smartphone or tablet.
[1736] A specific embodiment for carrying out the present invention is described below. This embodiment includes the configuration and operation of a specific wearable device, server, and software.
[1737] Data collection and emotion recognition
[1738] Wearable devices collect the user's biometric data (e.g., pulse rate and brain waves) in real time. Specifically, they use pulse sensors and brain wave sensors to monitor changes in the user's emotions and send the data to a server.
[1739] The server analyzes the received biometric data using a specific software module (e.g., BioSignalProcessing library), and then determines the user's emotional changes using an emotion engine (e.g., EmotionEngine library).
[1740] Audio recording and summarization
[1741] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records and transmits the audio data to a server, where it is analyzed using the AutoSummary library to extract key information and convert it into concise text.
[1742] Automatic diary generation
[1743] The server automatically generates a draft diary entry based on the summarized text and the emotion determined by the emotion engine. This diary entry contains content such as "I was moved by the climax scene of the movie today." This process is carried out using a content management system.
[1744] Content recommendations
[1745] Based on the generated diary entries and the user's emotional data, personalized content is recommended. For example, new movies or songs are recommended based on past viewing history and emotional data. This system utilizes an AI model and a recommendation engine. The following is an example of a prompt:
[1746] "Recommend new movies that contain elements of movies that have moved the user in the past. Analyze collected biometric and audio data to identify moving moments, and use associated text data and emotion assessment results."
[1747] Notification and confirmation
[1748] Once the diary entry is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or tablet. The user can then review the diary entry and reminisce about special moments from that day. The notification also includes personalized content recommendations.
[1749] Specific examples
[1750] For example, consider the case where a user encounters a moving scene while watching a movie and their pulse rate suddenly rises. At this time, the wearable device detects the sudden rise in pulse rate and sends the data to the server. The server uses an emotion engine to determine the change in emotion and records and summarizes the audio data. Next, a diary entry is generated based on this data, and recommendations for content related to the diary entry are sent to the user's smartphone.
[1751] This allows users to relive special moments and enjoy new emotionally-driven content.
[1752] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1753] Step 1: Collect data
[1754] The wearable device collects the user's biometric data (pulse rate and brain waves) in real time. The collected biometric data is stored in the wearable device's internal memory from the sensor and then periodically sent to a server. The input is the user's pulse rate and brain wave data, and the output is the biometric data sent to the server.
[1755] Step 2: Analyze the data
[1756] The server analyzes the received biometric data using a specific software module (e.g., BioSignalProcessing library). This analysis extracts pulse rate fluctuations and brain wave patterns. The input is the biometric data sent from the wearable device, and the output is the analyzed data. Specifically, this includes pulse rate spikes and specific brain wave patterns.
[1757] Step 3: Determine the emotion
[1758] The server analyzes the analyzed biometric data using an emotion engine (e.g., EmotionEngine library) to determine changes in the user's emotions. The input is the analyzed biometric data, and the output is a judgment result indicating changes in emotions. A specific example of the operation is determining a sudden increase in pulse rate as "joy."
[1759] Step 4: Recording audio data
[1760] When a change in emotion is detected, the wearable device records the audio data at that moment, which is then sent to a server. The input is the specific emotion change and its timing, and the output is the recorded audio data.
[1761] Step 5: Summarizing the audio data
[1762] The server analyzes the recorded audio data using the AutoSummary library, extracts important information, and converts it into short text. The input is the recorded audio data, and the output is the summarized text. Specifically, it summarizes the user's words, "This movie is really great!", as "I was moved by the movie."
[1763] Step 6: Automatic generation of diary entries
[1764] The server automatically generates a diary entry based on the summarized text and the emotion determination results from the emotion engine. A text generation algorithm is used for the specific generation. The input is the summarized text and the emotion determination results, and the output is the automatically generated diary entry text. For example, a diary entry such as "Today I was moved by the climax scene of the movie" is generated.
[1765] Step 7: Content Recommendations
[1766] The server recommends personalized content based on the generated diary content and the user's emotional data. Utilizing an AI model and recommendation engine, it can recommend new movies, for example, based on past viewing history and emotional moments. The input is the generated diary and emotional data, and the output is the recommended content.
[1767] Step 8: Notification and confirmation
[1768] When the diary generation is complete, the server sends a notification to the user's smartphone or tablet. The user can then check the generated diary, reminisce about special moments from that day, and view recommended content. The input is the notification information that the diary has been generated, and the output is a notification displayed on the user's device.
[1769] Through these steps, it becomes possible to accurately capture changes in a user's emotions and automatically recommend individual content based on the results. It also makes it possible to automatically record emotional moments as a diary, allowing users to look back on special moments.
[1770] 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.
[1771] 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.
[1772] 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.
[1773] 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.
[1774] 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.
[1775] 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.
[1776] 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).
[1777] 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.
[1778] 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."
[1779] 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.
[1780] 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).
[1781] 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.
[1782] 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.
[1783] 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.
[1784] 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.
[1785] 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.
[1786] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific processing may be a single processor.
[1787] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[1788] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices.
