[0040] Users: Users collect their own past text data (e.g., diary entries, emails) and audio data (e.g., voice memos, recordings) through dedicated applications or web interfaces. Users can select and upload this data to the platform.

[0041] Device: The user's device uploads the collected data to the server in the appropriate format. The data is then formatted and compressed as necessary and securely sent to the server.

[0042] Data analysis

[0043] Server: The server analyzes the text and voice data received from the user. The text data is analyzed using natural language processing technology to extract important episodes and emotions. The voice data is converted into text using speech recognition technology. This allows for an integrated analysis of the text and voice data to extract information needed to form a moving personal story.

[0044] Story Generation

[0045] Server: Based on the analysis results, the server generates a personal narrative. The narrative generation is performed using an AI model to create a moving story that reflects the user's past experiences and emotions. This brings the user's past memories back to life in a new way, providing a visual and emotional experience.

[0046] Audio conversion

[0047] Server: The generated story is converted into audio format using text-to-speech technology, which allows the story to be delivered to the user in a natural voice. The technology used for speech conversion achieves high-quality speech synthesis, producing speech that is easily understandable to the user.

[0048] Data storage and playback

[0049] Server: The converted voice data is stored on the server and managed for user access. It identifies which data belongs to which user and sets appropriate access permissions.

[0050] Device: The user's device provides an interface for playing the generated audio data. The user can easily play the generated story through the provided link or application. By clicking the play button, the audio will start and the user can relive the past memory.

[0051] Specific examples

[0052] For example, user A wants to share his or her past growth records with his or her family. A uploads his or her diary and voice memos to a dedicated app. The app formats the data and sends it to a server. The server analyzes the data and extracts A's important episodes and emotions. Based on the analysis results, an AI model generates a personal story and converts it into audio using text-to-speech technology. The audio data is then stored on the server, and A can play back and share the generated story with his or her family via a provided link. This system brings A's memories back to life in a moving way, deepening the bond between the family.

[0053] In this way, the system of the present invention can provide a new experience to the user by reproducing personal memories and experiences as an audio story.

[0054] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0154] This invention is a system that collects and analyzes personal text and voice data to generate a personal story and deliver it in audio format. It also includes a function to provide personalized audio recommendations for products and services based on data such as the customer's past purchase history, feedback, and chat logs.

[0155] Data collection

[0156] User:

[0157] Users collect their past text data (diaries, emails, chat logs) and audio data (voice memos, recordings) through a dedicated application or web interface. Users can select and upload this data to the platform. The history of users' past purchases and feedback are also collected.

[0158] Device:

[0159] The user's device uploads the collected data to the server in the appropriate format. The data is then reshaped and compressed as necessary and sent securely to the server.

[0160] Data analysis

[0161] server:

[0162] The server analyzes the text and voice data received from the user. This is done using natural language processing and voice recognition technologies. The text data is analyzed using a Transformer-based natural language processing model (e.g., BERT or GPT-3) to extract important episodes and emotions. The voice data is converted into text format using voice recognition technology. This allows for an integrated analysis of the text and voice data, and meaningful information is extracted from the customer's behavioral history.

[0163] Narrative and recommendation generation

[0164] server:

[0165] Based on the analysis results, a personal narrative is generated using an AI model (e.g., GPT-2 or GPT-3). This creates an inspiring story that reflects the user's past experiences and emotions. Furthermore, personalized product and service recommendations are also generated using the AI ​​model based on the analyzed personal data.

[0166] Voice conversion and guidance

[0167] server:

[0168] The generated story and recommendations are converted into audio format using text-to-speech technology (e.g., gTTS), which allows the story and product recommendations to be delivered to the user in a natural voice. The technology used for speech conversion achieves high-quality speech synthesis, producing speech that is easily understandable to the user.

[0169] Data storage and playback

[0170] server:

[0171] The converted voice data is stored on a server and managed so that users can access it. The data is identified as belonging to each user, and appropriate access rights are set.

[0172] Device:

[0173] The user's device provides a playback interface for the generated audio data, and the user can easily play the generated story and recommended products through the provided links or applications, allowing the user to experience past memories in a new way or check out new products and services.

[0174] Specific examples

[0175] For example, user A wants to share his or her past growth records with his or her family. A uploads his or her diary and voice memos to a dedicated app. The app formats the data and sends it to a server. The server analyzes the data and extracts A's important episodes and emotions. Based on the analysis results, an AI model generates a personal story and converts it into audio using text-to-speech technology. The audio data is then stored on the server, and A can play back and share the story with his or her family via a provided link.

[0176] Also, when entering a virtual store, the application analyzes reviews of products the user has previously purchased and, if it is recommending new products based on those reviews, provides a prompt like this to the generative AI model:

[0177] "Product reviewed: XYZ Camera. Review: The image quality is excellent and I am very satisfied. I would buy it again. Suggestion: New product."

[0178] Based on this, a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-2) can suggest new cameras and related accessories and vocalize the suggestions to provide personalized recommendations to the user.

[0179] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0180] Step 1: Data collection

[0181] Users collect their own past text data (diaries, emails, chat logs) and voice data (voice memos, recordings) through a dedicated application or web interface. Users can select this data and upload it to the platform. The history of products purchased by users and their feedback are also collected. The input is the user's text data and voice data, and the output is that this data is formatted and sent to the server.

[0182] Step 2: Send data

[0183] The terminals then format the collected data, compress it, and upload it to the server. The data is then formatted into a format that can be understood within the system and sent to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS). The input is the formatted and compressed user text and voice data, and the output is that this data is securely sent to the server.

[0184] Step 3: Data analysis

[0185] The server analyzes the text and voice data received from the user. Natural language processing technology (e.g., BERT or GPT-3) is used to analyze the text data and extract important episodes and emotions. The voice data is converted into text format using speech recognition technology (e.g., Google Speech-to-Text). This allows for integrated analysis of the text and voice data and extracts meaningful information. The input is the user's text and voice data, and the output is analyzed episodes and emotional information.

[0186] Step 4: Narrative generation

[0187] The server uses an AI model (e.g., GPT-2 or GPT-3) based on the analysis results to generate a personal narrative. This narrative is an inspiring story that reflects the user's past experiences and emotions. Furthermore, personalized recommended products and services based on the analyzed personal data are also generated using an AI model. The input is the analysis results, and the output is the generated narrative and recommended products and services.

[0188] Step 5: Audio conversion

[0189] The server converts the generated story and recommendations into audio format using text-to-speech technology (e.g., gTTS). This allows the story and recommended products to be delivered to the user in a natural voice. The technology used for speech conversion achieves high-quality speech synthesis, producing speech that is easily understandable to the user. The input is the generated text, and the output is audio data.

[0190] Step 6: Data storage and playback

[0191] The server stores the converted voice data on the server and manages it so that users can access it. It identifies which data belongs to which user and sets appropriate access rights. The input is voice data, and the output is the stored voice data.

[0192] The device provides a playback interface for the generated audio data. The user can easily play the generated story and recommended products through the provided link or application. The input is the saved audio data, and the output is the played audio data. This allows the user to experience past memories in a new way or check out new products and services.

[0193] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0194] The present invention is a system that collects an individual's past text data and voice data, analyzes them to generate a personal story, and provides it in voice format. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, a more moving and personal story can be generated. Below, a specific description of an embodiment of the present invention is given.

[0195] Data collection

[0196] User: Using a dedicated application or web interface, the user collects their own text data (e.g., diary entries, emails) and audio data (e.g., voice memos, recordings). The user selects this data and clicks the upload button to send it to the system.

[0197] Device: The user's device formats the collected text and audio data and converts it into the appropriate format. This data is compressed if necessary and prepared for transmission to the server. The destination server URL is set and the data is uploaded to the server.

[0198] Data analysis and emotion recognition

[0199] Server: The server receives the uploaded data and stores it in storage. Text data is stored in a database, and audio data is stored in an appropriate directory. This allows data to be managed consistently within the system.

[0200] Server: The server applies natural language processing (NLP) techniques to the received text data to analyze the context and sentiment. The emotion engine participates in this analysis process, recognizing and tagging the user's sentiment from the text and voice data. Important episodes and sentiments are tagged, and the analysis results are generated.

[0201] Server: The voice data is converted into text using speech recognition technology and analyzed by the emotion engine. The emotion engine recognizes the emotion in the voice data and reflects it in the analysis results.

[0202] Story Generation

[0203] Server: Based on the analysis results, the AI ​​model generates a personal narrative. The AI ​​model combines episodes and emotions extracted from the text data and converted audio data to create a moving and personal story based especially on emotion tagging. The text of the generated narrative is generated.

[0204] Audio conversion

[0205] Server: The generated story text is converted into audio format using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, which provides the story text to the user as a natural voice. The generated audio file is stored on the server.

[0206] Data storage and playback

[0207] Server: The converted voice data is managed in a form that can be accessed by users. Voice data is identified for each user and appropriate access rights are set. Users can access the generated voice data through an individual link.

[0208] Device: The user's device provides a playback interface for the generated audio data. The user can click the provided link to play the audio data through a browser or dedicated app. The playback interface should be designed to be intuitive and easy to use.

[0209] Specific examples

[0210] For example, user B wants to share his / her past growth record with his / her family. He / she uploads his / her diary and voice memos to a dedicated app. The app formats this data and sends it to the server.

[0211] The server analyzes the data and recognizes important episodes and emotions of Mr. B. The emotion engine tags emotions that should be emphasized, and the AI ​​model generates a story based on that. This story is converted into audio using text-to-speech technology and stored on the server as audio data.

[0212] Mr. B can replay the generated story through the provided link and share it with his family. This system brings back Mr. B's memories in a moving way and deepens the bond between him and his family.

[0213] In this way, by combining emotion recognition, the system of the present invention can recreate personal memories and experiences as more moving and personal stories, providing users with a new experience.

[0214] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0215] Step 1:

[0216] User: Using a dedicated application or web interface, the user collects their own text data (e.g., diary entries, emails) and audio data (e.g., voice memos, recordings). The user selects this data and clicks the upload button to send it to the system.

[0217] Step 2:

[0218] Device: The user's device formats the collected text and audio data and converts it into the appropriate format. This data is compressed if necessary and prepared for transmission to the server. The destination server URL is set and the data is uploaded to the server.

[0219] Step 3:

[0220] Server: The server receives the uploaded data and stores it in storage. Text data is stored in a database, and audio data is stored in an appropriate directory. This allows data to be managed consistently within the system.

[0221] Step 4:

[0222] Server: Applying natural language processing (NLP) techniques to the received text data to analyze context and sentiment. The emotion engine participates in the analysis process, recognizing and tagging the user's sentiment from the text and voice data. Emotion tagging identifies important episodes and sentiments, and generates analysis results.

[0223] Step 5:

[0224] Server: The voice data is converted into text using voice recognition technology and analyzed by the emotion engine. The emotion engine recognizes the emotion in the voice data and reflects it in the analysis results.

[0225] Step 6:

[0226] Server: Based on the analyzed data, the AI ​​model generates a personal narrative. The AI ​​model combines episodes and emotions extracted from the text data and converted audio data to create a moving and personal story based especially on emotion tagging. The text of the generated narrative is generated.

[0227] Step 7:

[0228] Server: The generated story text is converted into audio format using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, which provides the story text to the user as a natural voice. The generated audio file is stored on the server.

[0229] Step 8:

[0230] Server: The converted voice data is managed in a form that can be accessed by users. Voice data is identified for each user and appropriate access rights are set. Users can access the generated voice data through an individual link.

[0231] Step 9:

[0232] Device: The user's device provides a playback interface for the generated audio data. The user can click the provided link to play the audio data through a browser or dedicated app. The playback interface should be designed to be intuitive and easy to use.

[0233] Step 10:

[0234] Users: Users can play the generated audio data and listen to their personal stories, which can bring back memories and experiences, providing new emotional experiences. Users can also share this audio data with their family and friends.

[0308] (Application example 2)

[0309] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0310] In today's world, individual users generate large amounts of digital data on a daily basis, but there are few opportunities to reuse that data as personal, moving stories. Furthermore, in electronic payment services, simply compiling and analyzing users' purchase and interaction histories makes it difficult to provide emotional value to users. This can prevent users from emotionally reflecting on their purchasing experiences and memories, potentially resulting in a decrease in satisfaction with purchasing activities.

[0311] The specific processing by the specific 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 text data and voice data of the user, means for analyzing the text data and voice data, means for generating a personal story based on the analysis results, means for converting the generated story into voice, means for saving the converted voice and providing it in a form that the user can play back, means for collecting and analyzing the user's purchase history and interaction history and recognizing emotions, and means for generating a story that includes emotions at the time of purchase and playing it back as voice. This makes it possible for the user to look back on their purchasing experiences and memories as moving stories.

[0312] "Text data" refers to digital information in the form of text, such as diary entries, emails, and messages created by users.

[0313] "Voice data" refers to digital voice information such as recorded voice memos, dialogues, and telephone conversations generated by the user.

[0314] "Analysis means" refers to a method of analyzing collected text data and audio data using natural language processing technology and speech recognition technology to understand context and emotions.

[0315] A "story generation means" is an algorithm or software that generates a story that includes the user's personal experiences and emotions based on the analysis results.

[0316] "Convert to speech" is the process of converting the generated narrative into audio format using text-to-speech technology.

[0317] "Storage means" refers to a mechanism for storing the converted audio data in a digital format and managing it in a manner that allows access by the user.

[0318] "Providing in a reproducible form" means providing an interface or platform that allows users to easily access and play the generated audio data.

[0319] "Purchase history" is data that records detailed information about products that a user has purchased using an electronic payment service.

[0320] "Dialogue history" is a log of messages and conversations exchanged between a user and the system in an electronic payment service.

[0321] "Emotion recognition means" is a technology that analyzes and understands the emotional elements contained in a user's purchasing history and interaction history.

[0322] "Narrative generation" involves the process of constructing a story that reflects the user's emotions and experiences at the time of purchase.

[0323] "Means for playing as audio" refers to a technique for converting the generated story into audio format using TTS technology and providing it to the user in a reproducible format.

[0324] This invention is a system that collects and analyzes a user's past text data and voice data, generates a personal story, and provides it in voice format. Furthermore, it aims to recognize emotions in purchase history and conversation history, and generate and provide an inspiring story based on this.

[0325] Data collection

[0326] Users use a dedicated application or web interface to collect their own text data (e.g., diary entries, emails) and audio data (e.g., voice memos, recordings). The user's purchase history and interaction history are also collected. They select this data and click the upload button to send it to the system. The user's device then formats the collected data and converts it into an appropriate format. This data is then compressed and sent to the server.

[0327] Data analysis and emotion recognition

[0328] The server receives the uploaded data and stores it in storage. The data is converted into an appropriate format and saved in a database. Natural language processing (NLP) and speech recognition technologies are used for analysis. The emotion engine recognizes and tags the user's emotions from text, voice data, purchase history, and conversation history. Important episodes and emotions are tagged in the analysis results.

[0329] Story Generation

[0330] The AI ​​model on the server generates a personal narrative based on the analysis results. The AI ​​model is a generative AI model that combines episodes and emotions extracted from the text data and converted audio data to create a moving and personal story based on emotion tagging in particular.

[0331] Audio conversion

[0332] The generated story text is converted into audio format using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, which provides the story text to the user as natural-sounding audio, and the generated audio file is stored on the server.

[0333] Data storage and playback

[0334] The converted voice data is managed in a form that can be accessed by users. Voice data is identified for each user and appropriate access rights are set. Users can access the generated voice data through individual links. The user's device provides a playback interface for the generated voice data. The playback interface has an intuitive and easy-to-use design.

[0335] Specific examples

[0336] For example, if user A wants to share his or her past purchase history as an inspiring story with his or her family, he or she uploads his or her purchase history and voice memos to a dedicated app. The app formats this data and sends it to a server. The server analyzes the data and recognizes A's important purchase episodes and emotions. An emotion engine tags emotions that should be particularly emphasized, and an AI model generates a story based on this. This story is converted into audio using text-to-speech technology and saved as audio data on the server. A can play the generated story through the provided link and share it with his or her family.

[0337] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0338] "Data entered: List of products that made you feel excited at the moment you purchased them"

[0339] "Prompt for generative AI model: Generate a story with emotions about a product the user has purchased in the past. Here is the data: [data content]"

[0340] This allows users to vividly relive their past purchasing experiences and share them with family and friends in an emotional way.

[0341] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0342] Step 1:

[0343] The user uses a dedicated application or web interface to collect their own text data (e.g., diary entries, emails) and voice data (e.g., voice memos, recordings). The user also collects purchase history and interaction history. They select this data and click the send button to send it to the system. The input to this step is various types of user data, and the output to the server is this data set.

[0344] Step 2:

[0345] The user's device formats the collected data, converts text and audio data into the appropriate format, compresses the data if necessary, sets the URL of the upload server, and then sends the data to the server. The input for this step is the various data provided by the user, and the output is the formatted data.

[0346] Step 3:

[0347] The server receives the uploaded data, stores the text data in a database, and the audio data in the appropriate directory. This step updates the database. The input is the formatted data, and the output is the stored data.

[0348] Step 4:

[0349] The server applies natural language processing (NLP) techniques to the received text data to analyze the context and sentiment. An emotion engine also participates in this analysis, recognizing and tagging the user's sentiment from the text and voice data. This stage primarily involves data analysis and tagging. The input is the stored data, and the output is the analysis results.

[0350] Step 5:

[0351] The server applies speech recognition technology to the voice data to convert it into text, which is then analyzed using an emotion engine. Emotions are also recognized from the converted text data and tagged. The input is the voice data, and the output is the converted and analyzed text data and emotion tags.

[0352] Step 6:

[0353] Based on the analyzed text data, emotion tags, and purchase history data, an AI model on the server generates a personal narrative for the user. This AI model is a generative AI model, creating a story based specifically on emotion tagging. The inputs for this step are the analysis results and purchase history data, and the output is the generated narrative text.

[0354] Step 7:

[0355] The server converts the generated story text into audio format using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology. The converted audio file is stored on the server. The input is the generated story text, and the output is the converted audio file.

[0356] Step 8:

The input is the saved audio data, and the output is the played audio data. This allows the user to experience past memories in a new way or check out new products and services.

[0532] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0533] The present invention is a system that collects an individual's past text data and voice data, analyzes them to generate a personal story, and provides it in voice format. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, a more moving and personal story can be generated. Below, a specific description of an embodiment of the present invention is given.

[0534] Data collection

[0535] User: Using a dedicated application or web interface, the user collects their own text data (e.g., diary entries, emails) and audio data (e.g., voice memos, recordings). The user selects this data and clicks the upload button to send it to the system.

[0536] Device: The user's device formats the collected text and audio data and converts it into the appropriate format. This data is compressed if necessary and prepared for transmission to the server. The destination server URL is set and the data is uploaded to the server.

[0537] Data analysis and emotion recognition

[0538] Server: The server receives the uploaded data and stores it in storage. Text data is stored in a database, and audio data is stored in an appropriate directory. This allows data to be managed consistently within the system.

[0539] Server: The server applies natural language processing (NLP) techniques to the received text data to analyze the context and sentiment. The emotion engine participates in this analysis process, recognizing and tagging the user's sentiment from the text and voice data. Important episodes and sentiments are tagged, and the analysis results are generated.

[0540] Server: The voice data is converted into text using speech recognition technology and analyzed by the emotion engine. The emotion engine recognizes the emotion in the voice data and reflects it in the analysis results.

[0541] Story Generation

[0542] Server: Based on the analysis results, the AI ​​model generates a personal narrative. The AI ​​model combines episodes and emotions extracted from the text data and converted audio data to create a moving and personal story based especially on emotion tagging. The text of the generated narrative is generated.

[0543] Audio conversion

[0544] Server: The generated story text is converted into audio format using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, which provides the story text to the user as a natural voice. The generated audio file is stored on the server.

[0545] Data storage and playback

[0546] Server: The converted voice data is managed in a form that can be accessed by users. Voice data is identified for each user and appropriate access rights are set. Users can access the generated voice data through an individual link.

[0547] Device: The user's device provides a playback interface for the generated audio data. The user can click the provided link to play the audio data through a browser or dedicated app. The playback interface should be designed to be intuitive and easy to use.

[0548] Specific examples

[0549] For example, user B wants to share his / her past growth record with his / her family. He / she uploads his / her diary and voice memos to a dedicated app. The app formats this data and sends it to the server.

[0550] The server analyzes the data and recognizes important episodes and emotions of Mr. B. The emotion engine tags emotions that should be emphasized, and the AI ​​model generates a story based on that. This story is converted into audio using text-to-speech technology and stored on the server as audio data.

[0551] Mr. B can replay the generated story through the provided link and share it with his family. This system brings back Mr. B's memories in a moving way and deepens the bond between him and his family.

[0552] In this way, by combining emotion recognition, the system of the present invention can recreate personal memories and experiences as more moving and personal stories, providing users with a new experience.

Furthermore, it aims to recognize emotions in purchase history and conversation history, and generate and provide an inspiring story based on this.

[0664] Data collection

[0665] Users use a dedicated application or web interface to collect their own text data (e.g., diary entries, emails) and audio data (e.g., voice memos, recordings). The user's purchase history and interaction history are also collected. They select this data and click the upload button to send it to the system. The user's device then formats the collected data and converts it into an appropriate format. This data is then compressed and sent to the server.

[0666] Data analysis and emotion recognition

[0667] The server receives the uploaded data and stores it in storage. The data is converted into an appropriate format and saved in a database. Natural language processing (NLP) and speech recognition technologies are used for analysis. The emotion engine recognizes and tags the user's emotions from text, voice data, purchase history, and conversation history. Important episodes and emotions are tagged in the analysis results.

[0668] Story Generation

[0669] The AI ​​model on the server generates a personal narrative based on the analysis results. The AI ​​model is a generative AI model that combines episodes and emotions extracted from the text data and converted audio data to create a moving and personal story based on emotion tagging in particular.

[0670] Audio conversion

[0671] The generated story text is converted into audio format using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, which provides the story text to the user as natural-sounding audio, and the generated audio file is stored on the server.

[0672] Data storage and playback

[0673] The converted voice data is managed in a form that can be accessed by users. Voice data is identified for each user and appropriate access rights are set. Users can access the generated voice data through individual links. The user's device provides a playback interface for the generated voice data. The playback interface has an intuitive and easy-to-use design.

[0674] Specific examples

[0675] For example, if user A wants to share his or her past purchase history as an inspiring story with his or her family, he or she uploads his or her purchase history and voice memos to a dedicated app. The app formats this data and sends it to a server. The server analyzes the data and recognizes A's important purchase episodes and emotions. An emotion engine tags emotions that should be particularly emphasized, and an AI model generates a story based on this. This story is converted into audio using text-to-speech technology and saved as audio data on the server. A can play the generated story through the provided link and share it with his or her family.

[0676] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0677] "Data entered: List of products that made you feel excited at the moment you purchased them"

[0678] "Prompt for generative AI model: Generate a story with emotions about a product the user has purchased in the past. Here is the data: [data content]"

[0679] This allows users to vividly relive their past purchasing experiences and share them with family and friends in an emotional way.

[0680] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0681] Step 1:

[0682] The user uses a dedicated application or web interface to collect their own text data (e.g., diary entries, emails) and voice data (e.g., voice memos, recordings). The user also collects purchase history and interaction history. They select this data and click the send button to send it to the system. The input to this step is various types of user data, and the output to the server is this data set.

[0683] Step 2:

[0684] The user's device formats the collected data, converts text and audio data into the appropriate format, compresses the data if necessary, sets the URL of the upload server, and then sends the data to the server. The input for this step is the various data provided by the user, and the output is the formatted data.

[0685] Step 3:

[0686] The server receives the uploaded data, stores the text data in a database, and the audio data in the appropriate directory. This step updates the database. The input is the formatted data, and the output is the stored data.

[0687] Step 4:

[0688] The server applies natural language processing (NLP) techniques to the received text data to analyze the context and sentiment. An emotion engine also participates in this analysis, recognizing and tagging the user's sentiment from the text and voice data. This stage primarily involves data analysis and tagging. The input is the stored data, and the output is the analysis results.

[0689] Step 5:

[0690] The server applies speech recognition technology to the voice data to convert it into text, which is then analyzed using an emotion engine. Emotions are also recognized from the converted text data and tagged. The input is the voice data, and the output is the converted and analyzed text data and emotion tags.

[0691] Step 6:

[0692] Based on the analyzed text data, emotion tags, and purchase history data, an AI model on the server generates a personal narrative for the user. This AI model is a generative AI model, creating a story based specifically on emotion tagging. The inputs for this step are the analysis results and purchase history data, and the output is the generated narrative text.

[0693] Step 7:

[0694] The server converts the generated story text into audio format using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology. The converted audio file is stored on the server. The input is the generated story text, and the output is the converted audio file.

[0695] Step 8:

[0696] The server manages the converted audio data in a form that allows users to access it. The audio data is stored in a folder identified for each user, and appropriate access rights are set. The input of this step is the converted audio file, and the output is audio data stored in an accessible form.

[0697] Step 9:

[0698] The user's device provides a playback interface for the generated audio data. The user accesses and plays the audio data through the provided link. The playback interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The input of this step is the access link to the audio data, and the output is the playback of the audio data.

[0699] In this way, a moving story can be generated using the user's past data and provided in audio format, which can bring back the user's purchasing experiences and memories in an emotional way.

[0700] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214.

[1013] Specific examples

[1014] For example, if user A wants to share his or her past purchase history as an inspiring story with his or her family, he or she uploads his or her purchase history and voice memos to a dedicated app. The app formats this data and sends it to a server. The server analyzes the data and recognizes A's important purchase episodes and emotions. An emotion engine tags emotions that should be particularly emphasized, and an AI model generates a story based on this. This story is converted into audio using text-to-speech technology and saved as audio data on the server. A can play the generated story through the provided link and share it with his or her family.

[1015] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1016] "Data entered: List of products that made you feel excited at the moment you purchased them"

[1017] "Prompt for generative AI model: Generate a story with emotions about a product the user has purchased in the past. Here is the data: [data content]"

[1018] This allows users to vividly relive their past purchasing experiences and share them with family and friends in an emotional way.

[1019] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1020] Step 1:

[1021] The user uses a dedicated application or web interface to collect their own text data (e.g., diary entries, emails) and voice data (e.g., voice memos, recordings). The user also collects purchase history and interaction history. They select this data and click the send button to send it to the system. The input to this step is various types of user data, and the output to the server is this data set.

[1022] Step 2:

[1023] The user's device formats the collected data, converts text and audio data into the appropriate format, compresses the data if necessary, sets the URL of the upload server, and then sends the data to the server.

[1024] Step 3:

[1025] The server receives the uploaded data, stores the text data in a database, and the audio data in the appropriate directory. This step updates the database. The input is the formatted data, and the output is the stored data.

[1026] Step 4:

[1027] The server applies natural language processing (NLP) techniques to the received text data to analyze the context and sentiment. An emotion engine also participates in this analysis, recognizing and tagging the user's sentiment from the text and voice data. This stage primarily involves data analysis and tagging. The input is the stored data, and the output is the analysis results.

[1028] Step 5:

[1029] The server applies speech recognition technology to the voice data to convert it into text, which is then analyzed using an emotion engine. Emotions are also recognized from the converted text data and tagged. The input is the voice data, and the output is the converted and analyzed text data and emotion tags.

[1030] Step 6:

[1031] Based on the analyzed text data, emotion tags, and purchase history data, an AI model on the server generates a personal narrative for the user. This AI model is a generative AI model, creating a story based specifically on emotion tagging. The inputs for this step are the analysis results and purchase history data, and the output is the generated narrative text.

[1032] Step 7:

[1033] The server converts the generated story text into audio format using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology. The converted audio file is stored on the server. The input is the generated story text, and the output is the converted audio file.

[1034] Step 8:

[1035] The server manages the converted audio data in a form that allows users to access it. The audio data is stored in a folder identified for each user, and appropriate access rights are set. The input of this step is the converted audio file, and the output is audio data stored in an accessible form.

[1036] Step 9:

[1326] (Application example 2)

[1327] 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."

[1328] In today's world, individual users generate large amounts of digital data on a daily basis, but there are few opportunities to reuse that data as personal, moving stories. Furthermore, in electronic payment services, simply compiling and analyzing users' purchase and interaction histories makes it difficult to provide emotional value to users. This can prevent users from emotionally reflecting on their purchasing experiences and memories, potentially resulting in a decrease in satisfaction with purchasing activities.

[1329] The specific processing by the specific 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 text data and voice data of the user, means for analyzing the text data and voice data, means for generating a personal story based on the analysis results, means for converting the generated story into voice, means for saving the converted voice and providing it in a form that the user can play back, means for collecting and analyzing the user's purchase history and interaction history and recognizing emotions, and means for generating a story that includes emotions at the time of purchase and playing it back as voice. This makes it possible for the user to look back on their purchasing experiences and memories as moving stories.

[1330] "Text data" refers to digital information in the form of text, such as diary entries, emails, and messages created by users.

[1331] "Voice data" refers to digital voice information such as recorded voice memos, dialogues, and telephone conversations generated by the user.

[1332] "Analysis means" refers to a method of analyzing collected text data and audio data using natural language processing technology and speech recognition technology to understand context and emotions.

[1333] A "story generation means" is an algorithm or software that generates a story that includes the user's personal experiences and emotions based on the analysis results.

[1334] "Convert to speech" is the process of converting the generated narrative into audio format using text-to-speech technology.

[1335] "Storage means" refers to a mechanism for storing the converted audio data in a digital format and managing it in a manner that allows access by the user.

[1336] "Providing in a reproducible form" means providing an interface or platform that allows users to easily access and play the generated audio data.

[1337] "Purchase history" is data that records detailed information about products that a user has purchased using an electronic payment service.

[1338] "Dialogue history" is a log of messages and conversations exchanged between a user and the system in an electronic payment service.

[1339] "Emotion recognition means" is a technology that analyzes and understands the emotional elements contained in a user's purchasing history and interaction history.

[1340] "Narrative generation" involves the process of constructing a story that reflects the user's emotions and experiences at the time of purchase.

[1341] "Means for playing as audio" refers to a technique for converting the generated story into audio format using TTS technology and providing it to the user in a reproducible format.

[1342] This invention is a system that collects and analyzes a user's past text data and voice data, generates a personal story, and provides it in voice format. Furthermore, it aims to recognize emotions in purchase history and conversation history, and generate and provide an inspiring story based on this.

[1343] Data collection

[1344] Users use a dedicated application or web interface to collect their own text data (e.g., diary entries, emails) and audio data (e.g., voice memos, recordings). The user's purchase history and interaction history are also collected. They select this data and click the upload button to send it to the system. The user's device then formats the collected data and converts it into an appropriate format. This data is then compressed and sent to the server.

[1345] Data analysis and emotion recognition

[1346] The server receives the uploaded data and stores it in storage. The data is converted into an appropriate format and saved in a database. Natural language processing (NLP) and speech recognition technologies are used for analysis. The emotion engine recognizes and tags the user's emotions from text, voice data, purchase history, and conversation history. Important episodes and emotions are tagged in the analysis results.

[1347] Story Generation

[1348] The AI ​​model on the server generates a personal narrative based on the analysis results. The AI ​​model is a generative AI model that combines episodes and emotions extracted from the text data and converted audio data to create a moving and personal story based on emotion tagging in particular.

[1349] Audio conversion

[1350] The generated story text is converted into audio format using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, which provides the story text to the user as natural-sounding audio, and the generated audio file is stored on the server.

[1351] Data storage and playback

[1352] The converted voice data is managed in a form that can be accessed by users. Voice data is identified for each user and appropriate access rights are set. Users can access the generated voice data through individual links. The user's device provides a playback interface for the generated voice data. The playback interface has an intuitive and easy-to-use design.

[1353] Specific examples

[1354] For example, if user A wants to share his or her past purchase history as an inspiring story with his or her family, he or she uploads his or her purchase history and voice memos to a dedicated app. The app formats this data and sends it to a server. The server analyzes the data and recognizes A's important purchase episodes and emotions. An emotion engine tags emotions that should be particularly emphasized, and an AI model generates a story based on this. This story is converted into audio using text-to-speech technology and saved as audio data on the server. A can play the generated story through the provided link and share it with his or her family.

[1355] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1356] "Data entered: List of products that made you feel excited at the moment you purchased them"

[1357] "Prompt for generative AI model: Generate a story with emotions about a product the user has purchased in the past. Here is the data: [data content]"

[1358] This allows users to vividly relive their past purchasing experiences and share them with family and friends in an emotional way.

[1359] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1360] Step 1:

[1361] The user uses a dedicated application or web interface to collect their own text data (e.g., diary entries, emails) and voice data (e.g., voice memos, recordings). The user also collects purchase history and interaction history. They select this data and click the send button to send it to the system. The input to this step is various types of user data, and the output to the server is this data set.

[1362] Step 2:

[1363] The user's device formats the collected data, converts text and audio data into the appropriate format, compresses the data if necessary, sets the URL of the upload server, and then sends the data to the server. The input for this step is the various data provided by the user, and the output is the formatted data.

[1364] Step 3:

[1365] The server receives the uploaded data, stores the text data in a database, and the audio data in the appropriate directory. This step updates the database. The input is the formatted data, and the output is the stored data.

[1366] Step 4:

[1367] The server applies natural language processing (NLP) techniques to the received text data to analyze the context and sentiment. An emotion engine also participates in this analysis, recognizing and tagging the user's sentiment from the text and voice data. This stage primarily involves data analysis and tagging. The input is the stored data, and the output is the analysis results.

[1368] Step 5:

[1369] The server applies speech recognition technology to the voice data to convert it into text, which is then analyzed using an emotion engine. Emotions are also recognized from the converted text data and tagged. The input is the voice data, and the output is the converted and analyzed text data and emotion tags.

[1370] Step 6:

[1371] Based on the analyzed text data, emotion tags, and purchase history data, an AI model on the server generates a personal narrative for the user. This AI model is a generative AI model, creating a story based specifically on emotion tagging. The inputs for this step are the analysis results and purchase history data, and the output is the generated narrative text.

[1372] Step 7:

[1373] The server converts the generated story text into audio format using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology. The converted audio file is stored on the server. The input is the generated story text, and the output is the converted audio file.

[1374] Step 8:

[1375] The server manages the converted audio data in a form that allows users to access it. The audio data is stored in a folder identified for each user, and appropriate access rights are set. The input of this step is the converted audio file, and the output is audio data stored in an accessible form.

[1376] Step 9:

[1377] The user's device provides a playback interface for the generated audio data. The user accesses and plays the audio data through the provided link. The playback interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The input of this step is the access link to the audio data, and the output is the playback of the audio data.

[1378] In this way, a moving story can be generated using the user's past data and provided in audio format, which can bring back the user's purchasing experiences and memories in an emotional way.

[1379] 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.

[1380] 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.

[1381] 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.

[1382] 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.

[1383] 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.

[1384] 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.

[1385] 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).

[1386] 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.

[1387] 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."

[1388] 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.

[1389] 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.

[1390] 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.

[1391] 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.
