[0045] Hotel reservations

[0046] When a user searches for accommodations to attend an event, the server suggests the most suitable accommodations based on the user's dates and location information. The user then checks the suggested accommodations and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends confirmation information to the user.

[0047] Suggestions and reservations for tourist attractions and restaurants

[0048] The server suggests tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's profile and preferences. The user selects the spots and restaurants that interest them and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends a notification to the user with detailed information.

[0049] Specific examples

[0050] For example, consider the case where User A travels from Tokyo to attend an idol concert in Osaka. User A creates an account and purchases a "specific pass." He selects the concert on the event search page, and the server suggests the most suitable ticket. User A purchases the ticket and selects the Shinkansen as his means of transportation. The server reserves the Shinkansen ticket and suggests a hotel in Osaka as his accommodation. User A reserves the hotel, selects Osaka Castle as a tourist spot, and reserves an okonomiyaki restaurant as his dining option. This saves User A the trouble of making detailed plans, and allows him to fully enjoy his favorite idol's activities.

[0159] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0160] Attending modern events requires users to individually complete a series of procedures, including purchasing tickets, arranging transportation, finding accommodations, and making reservations for sightseeing and meals, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, ensuring these procedures go smoothly requires quickly obtaining the latest information and processing it appropriately. However, doing this manually is extremely cumbersome, making it difficult to secure tickets, especially for popular events. Another problem is that it is difficult to make suggestions that reflect the user's individual preferences and location information. To solve these issues, a system is needed that can centrally support and automate these procedures.

[0161] 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.

[0162] In this invention, the server includes: means for a user to create an account via a terminal and transmit information; means for the server to store the received user information in a storage device and create an account; means for the user to purchase a "specific pass"; means for the server to check the purchase information and link benefits to the user account; means for the user to select an event they wish to attend on their terminal; means for the server to collect event information and suggest the most suitable ticket; means for the user to check the proposed ticket and complete the purchase procedure; means for the server to purchase the ticket and add the electronic ticket to the user account; means for the server to suggest the most suitable means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information; means for the user to check the proposed means of transportation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the transportation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest the most suitable accommodation based on the user's event dates; means for the user to check the proposed accommodation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the accommodation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's preferences and assist the reservation procedure; and means for analyzing the user's prompt sentence using a generative AI model and automating the procedures necessary to participate in the event. This allows users to smoothly go through all the procedures required to participate in the event.

[0163] A "terminal" is an electronic device that a user uses to input and check information.

[0164] A "server" is a computer system that receives requests from users, processes them, and returns the necessary information.

[0165] A "storage device" is a database or storage device for storing received user information.

[0166] A "user" is someone who uses the system to complete procedures and make reservations for participating in an event.

[0167] An "account" is a collection of data associated with an identity for a user to access a system.

[0168] A "special pass" is a paid service that a user can purchase to receive special benefits.

[0169] A "prompt sentence" is a text-based command sentence used to input instructions to a generative AI model.

[0170] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes a user's prompt and generates appropriate responses or suggestions.

[0171] A "Ticket" is an admission ticket to participate in an Event.

[0172] "Electronic ticket" means an admission ticket provided in digital format in lieu of a paper ticket.

[0173] "Transportation" refers to the means of transportation used by a user to participate in an event.

[0174] "Accommodation" refers to a place where a user stays when participating in an event.

[0175] "Tourist spots" are tourist destinations and famous places that users would like to visit.

[0176] A "restaurant" is a store such as a restaurant or cafe that a user visits to eat.

[0177] A "reservation procedure" is a procedure that a user must follow in advance to reserve a service.

[0178] This invention relates to a system that efficiently automates the series of procedures required for users to participate in an event. Information is exchanged between the user's terminal and a server, and ticket purchases, transportation suggestions and reservations, accommodation suggestions and reservations, and sightseeing spots and restaurants suggestions and reservations are automatically performed.

[0179] Creating an account and purchasing a "specific pass"

[0180] A user launches the application via their device and accesses the account creation page. The user enters the required information, such as their name, email address, and password, and sends it to the server. The server stores the received information in a storage device and creates an account. In addition, the user can purchase a "special pass," which gives them VIP benefits. The server verifies the payment information and associates the benefits with the user's account.

[0181] Get event information and book tickets

[0182] The user opens the event search page on their device and selects the event they wish to attend. The server collects event information and suggests the most suitable ticket. The user checks the suggested ticket and proceeds with the purchase. The server proceeds with the ticket purchase, and if successful, issues an electronic ticket and adds it to the user's account.

[0183] Transportation suggestions and reservations

[0184] The server analyzes the optimal means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information. The analyzed information is displayed on the user's device, and the user can select their preferred means of transportation. The selected information is sent to the server, which assists in reserving the transportation means and sends reservation confirmation information to the user.

[0185] Hotel reservations

[0186] When a user searches for accommodation, the server suggests the most suitable accommodation based on the user's dates and location information. The user checks the suggested accommodation and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends a confirmation to the user.

[0187] Suggestions and reservations for tourist attractions and restaurants

[0188] The server suggests tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's profile and preferences. The user selects the spots and restaurants that interest them and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends a notification to the user with detailed information.

[0189] Specific examples

[0190] For example, if user A travels from Tokyo to attend an event being held in Osaka, he or she can follow the procedure below.

[0191] 1. User A creates an account and purchases a "specific pass."

[0192] 2. Select a concert on the event search page and the server will suggest the best tickets.

[0193] 3. User A purchases a ticket and selects the Shinkansen as their means of transportation. The server reserves the Shinkansen ticket.

[0194] 4. User A selects a hotel in Osaka as the accommodation, and the server completes the reservation process.

[0195] 5. User A selects Osaka Castle as a tourist spot and an okonomiyaki restaurant as a restaurant, and the server assists with the reservation process.

[0196] The system also uses a generative AI model to analyze the user's prompt and automate the process required to participate in the event. Below are some examples of prompts:

[0197] "Automate a system that allows users to purchase tickets to attend a specific event, book transportation, arrange accommodations, and make reservations at local attractions and restaurants all in one place."

[0198] The above is an embodiment of the present invention. This system allows users to seamlessly complete all procedures required to participate in an event.

[0199] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0200] Creating an account and purchasing a "specific pass"

[0201] Step 1:

[0202] The user launches the application via a terminal and accesses the account creation page. The user enters the required information such as name, email address, and password. The entered information (name, email address, password) is stored on the terminal as user-entered data.

[0203] Specific actions

[0204] The user enters "Yamada Taro", "taro@example.com", and "password123".

[0205] Step 2:

[0206] The device sends the user-input data to the server. The input data is sent to the server as an API request. The server saves the received information in a storage device. If the data is successfully saved in the storage device, it generates a success message and sends it to the device.

[0207] Input and Output

[0208] Input: User-entered data (name, email address, password)

[0209] Output: Account creation successful message

[0210] Specific actions

[0211] The server stores "Yamada Taro", "taro@example.com", and "password123" in a memory device and sends a message saying "Account created successfully."

[0212] Step 3:

[0213] The user accesses the "Specific Pass" purchase page on their device and presses the purchase button. The user then enters the necessary payment information. The entered payment information is stored on the device.

[0214] Specific actions

[0215] The user enters "credit card information."

[0216] Step 4:

[0317] 12. "Supporting activities" are activities to support a particular artist or event, and are activities that give users a sense of fulfillment.

[0318] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0319] This invention provides a system that supports users in completing the procedures required to participate in events, making support activities more convenient. This system exchanges information between the user's terminal and a server in a virtual space, automatically purchasing tickets, suggesting and reserving transportation options, accommodations, tourist spots, and restaurants.

[0320] Creating an account and purchasing a "specific pass"

[0321] A user launches the app via their device and opens the account creation page. They enter the required information, such as their name, email address, and password, and send it to the server. The server stores the received information in a database and creates an account. Users can also purchase a "special pass" to enjoy VIP benefits. When purchasing this special pass, the server verifies the payment information and associates the benefits with the user's account.

[0322] Get event information and book tickets

[0323] The user opens an event search page in the virtual space via their device and selects the event they wish to attend. The server collects event information and suggests the most suitable ticket. The user then checks the suggested ticket and completes the purchase procedure. The server then proceeds with the ticket purchase, and if successful, issues an electronic ticket and adds it to the user's account.

[0324] Transportation suggestions and reservations

[0325] The server analyzes the optimal means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information. The information about transportation methods is displayed on the user's device, and the user can select their preferred means of transportation. The selected information is sent to the server, which assists in reserving the transportation method and sends reservation confirmation information to the user.

[0326] Hotel reservations

[0327] When a user searches for accommodations to attend an event, the server will suggest the most suitable accommodations based on the user's dates and location information. The user can then confirm the suggested accommodations and make a reservation. The server will assist with the reservation process and send confirmation information to the user.

[0328] Suggestions and reservations for tourist attractions and restaurants

[0329] The server suggests tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's profile and preferences. The user selects the spots and restaurants that interest them and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends a notification to the user with detailed information.

[0330] Centralizing procedures in a virtual space

[0331] In the virtual space, all of the above procedures can be carried out in one place. Users can seamlessly complete all procedures while experiencing the event in a virtual environment. For example, they can obtain tickets at a ticket counter in the virtual space and make reservations at a virtual hotel. This allows users to enjoy their favorite activities more efficiently, just like in the real world.

[0332] Specific examples

[0333] For example, consider the case where User A travels from Tokyo to Osaka in a virtual space to attend an idol concert. User A creates an account in the virtual environment and purchases a "specific pass." He selects the concert on the event search page, and the server suggests the most suitable ticket. User A purchases the ticket and selects the Shinkansen as his means of transportation. The server reserves the Shinkansen ticket and suggests a hotel in Osaka as his accommodation. User A reserves the hotel, selects Osaka Castle as a tourist spot, and reserves an okonomiyaki restaurant as his dining option. This saves User A the trouble of making detailed plans, and allows him to fully enjoy his favorite idol's activities.

[0708] In modern society, when users use food delivery services, they need a system that suggests the most suitable food and beverage based on the user's emotional state, which changes in real time, rather than always offering the same food and beverage. Conventional food delivery services do not take the user's emotional state into consideration and do not provide a fully personalized service. As a result, if the food and beverage offered does not suit the user's mood, satisfaction may decrease. Another problem is the effort and time required for users to make the optimal order selection based on their emotions.

[0709] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: means for a user to create an account via a terminal and send information to the server; means for the server to store the received user information in a database and create an account; means for the user to purchase a "specific pass"; means for the server to check the purchase information and link benefits to the user account; means for the user to select an event they wish to attend on their terminal; means for the server to collect event information and suggest the most suitable ticket; means for the user to check the suggested ticket and complete the purchase procedure; means for the server to purchase the ticket and add the electronic ticket to the user account; means for the server to suggest the most suitable means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information; means for the user to check the suggested means of transportation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the transportation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest the most suitable accommodation based on the user's event dates; means for the user to check the suggested accommodation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the accommodation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's preferences and assist the reservation procedure; and means for using a sentiment analysis engine to recognize the user's emotional state and suggest food and drink based on the emotional state. This makes it possible to suggest optimal food and drink options that reflect the user's emotional state in real time.

[0710] A "terminal" is an electronic device through which a user inputs information and communicates with a server.

[0711] A "server" is a computer system that receives information sent by a user, stores it in a database, and performs appropriate processing.

[0713] An "account" is an individual ID created on the server for a user to use the service.

[0714] A "special pass" is a type of service that gives users benefits when they purchase it.

[0715] An "event" is any type of performance or event in which a user wishes to participate.

[0716] A "ticket" is an admission ticket or participation ticket required for a user to participate in an event.

[0717] "Location information" refers to information about the user's current location or a specified location.

[0718] "Transportation" refers to the means of transportation that users use to travel to event venues, accommodations, etc.

[0719] "Accommodation facilities" are facilities such as hotels and inns where users can stay.

[0720] "Suggestion" means that the system presents the best options to the user.

[0721] "Reservation" is the process by which a user secures proposed transportation, accommodation, restaurants, etc. in advance.

[0722] An "emotion analysis engine" is a system that analyzes a user's emotional state and makes optimal suggestions based on that.

[0723] "Food and drink" refers to food and drink provided to the user.

[0724] The present invention relates to a food delivery system that recognizes a user's emotional state in real time and suggests optimal food and beverage options based on that state. This system is comprised of a user terminal, a server, and an emotion analysis engine, and aims to individually optimize the user's ordering experience.

[0725] User devices and applications

[0726] First, a user creates an account via a device (such as a smartphone) and enters the necessary information. The device sends the entered information to the server, which then saves the information in a database and creates the account. Next, the user purchases a "specific pass" through the application, and the server verifies the purchase information and associates the benefits with the user's account.

[0727] Recognition of emotional states

[0728] When a user attempts to order food or drink, their facial expressions are captured in real time using their smartphone camera. This data is then passed through an emotion analysis engine (e.g., a common facial recognition API) to analyze the user's emotional state. The analysis results are evaluated as an emotional state, such as stressed, relaxed, or excited.

[0729] Server roles and proposed methods

[0730] The server will suggest the most suitable food and drink options based on the user's emotional state, location information, past order history, and preferences. The server will analyze the data in real time and generate a list of food and drink options according to the user's emotional state. The list of suggested food and drink options will be displayed on the user's device.

[0731] Furthermore, once the user confirms the proposed food and drink options and completes the purchase procedure, the server assists in the food and drink reservation procedure and sends reservation confirmation information to the user, allowing the user to quickly and easily select and reserve the most suitable food and drink options.

[0732] Hardware and Software Used

[0733] User device: Smartphone or tablet

[0734] Sentiment analysis engine: General facial recognition API (e.g. Microsoft Azure Face API)

[0735] Server: A cloud-based computer system (e.g., AWS Lambda)

[0736] Database: Digital Data Management System (e.g. Amazon RDS)

[0737] Search and Suggestion: Real-time search engines (e.g. ElasticSearch)

[0738] Component Details

[0739] User Interface: A smartphone application will be built using React Native to provide an interface for users to input information and select suggested foods and drinks.

[0740] Emotional state collection: The smartphone camera is used to capture the user's facial expressions and the emotional data is analyzed through an emotion analysis engine.

[0741] Data transmission and analysis: The collected emotion data is transmitted from the smartphone to a server (AWS Lambda) and analyzed on the server side using Python scripts and the Scikit-learn library.

[0742] Suggestion generation: Based on the emotional state, a list of food and beverage suggestions is generated that takes into account the user's past ordering history and preferences, and is displayed on the smartphone app.

[0743] Specific examples

[0744] For example, if a user is feeling stressed, the system analyzes this in real time and suggests relaxing foods and drinks (such as herbal tea or sweets). When the user selects one and taps "Order" through the application, the server sends reservation confirmation information to the user.

[0745] Example of input prompt for generative AI model

[0746] "The user is currently feeling stressed. Please suggest foods and drinks that will help them relax."

[0747] ---

[0748] In this way, the present invention can analyze the user's emotional state in real time and recommend the most suitable food and beverages, providing a more personalized experience and improving user satisfaction.

[0749] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0750] Step 1:

[0751] A user creates an account via a device (such as a smartphone). The user enters information such as their name, email address, and password, and the device sends this data to the server. Based on the information entered, the server stores the data for account creation and sends the user a confirmation message confirming account creation.

[0752] Step 2:

[0753] The user purchases a "specific pass" using a terminal. The user selects the desired plan and completes the payment procedure. The server receives and processes the payment information, and once the purchase is complete, the benefits are linked to the user's account. The user receives a notification confirming the purchase.

[0754] Step 3:

[0755] The user uses a device to open an event search page and select the event they wish to attend. The selected event information is sent to the server, which collects information about the event and proposes the best ticket. The ticket proposal from the server is displayed on the device, and the user can confirm it.

[0756] Step 4:

[0757] The user reviews the proposed ticket and completes the purchase process. When the user taps the purchase button, a ticket purchase request is sent to the server. The server completes the ticket purchase, issues an e-ticket, and adds it to the user's account. The user then checks the e-ticket on their device.

[0758] Step 5:

[0759] When a user orders food or drink, their facial expressions are captured using the device's camera. The captured data is sent to a sentiment analysis engine in real time. The sentiment analysis engine (e.g., a general facial recognition API) analyzes the emotional data and outputs an emotional state such as stressed, relaxed, or excited.

[0760] Step 6:

[0761] Emotional data is sent to the server, which analyzes the data to suggest optimal food and drink options based on the user's emotional state, location, past order history, and preferences. The server generates a list of food and drink options and sends the suggestions to the user's device.

[0762] Step 7:

[0763] A list of suggested foods and drinks according to the user's emotional state is displayed on the user's device. The user checks the suggested foods and drinks and selects the desired food or drink. When the user taps the order button, the order data is sent to the server.

[0764] Step 8:

[0765] The server assists with the food and beverage reservation process and generates reservation confirmation information. The reservation confirmation information is sent to the user's device, and the user receives a reservation confirmation notification. This allows the user to easily select and reserve optimized food and beverages in real time.

[0766] ---

[0767] By dividing the process into steps in this way, a personalized food delivery service based on user behavior and emotions can be realized.

[0768] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0769] 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.

The user enters the required information, such as their name, email address, and password, and sends it to the server. The server stores the received information in a database and creates an account. The user can also purchase a "special pass" to enjoy VIP benefits. When purchasing this special pass, the server verifies the payment information and associates the benefits with the user's account.

[0787] Get event information and book tickets

[0788] The user opens the event search page via their device and selects the event they wish to attend. The server collects event information and suggests the most suitable ticket. The user checks the suggested ticket and completes the purchase procedure. The server proceeds with the ticket purchase, and if successful, issues an electronic ticket and adds it to the user's account.

[0789] Transportation suggestions and reservations

[0790] The server analyzes the optimal means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information. The information about transportation methods is displayed on the user's device, and the user can select their preferred means of transportation. The selected information is sent to the server, which assists in reserving the transportation method and sends reservation confirmation information to the user.

[0791] Hotel reservations

[0792] When a user searches for accommodations to attend an event, the server suggests the most suitable accommodations based on the user's dates and location information. The user then checks the suggested accommodations and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends confirmation information to the user.

[0793] Suggestions and reservations for tourist attractions and restaurants

[0794] The server suggests tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's profile and preferences. The user selects the spots and restaurants that interest them and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends a notification to the user with detailed information.

[0795] Specific examples

[0796] For example, consider the case where User A travels from Tokyo to attend an idol concert in Osaka. User A creates an account and purchases a "specific pass." He selects the concert on the event search page, and the server suggests the most suitable ticket. User A purchases the ticket and selects the Shinkansen as his means of transportation. The server reserves the Shinkansen ticket and suggests a hotel in Osaka as his accommodation. User A reserves the hotel, selects Osaka Castle as a tourist spot, and reserves an okonomiyaki restaurant as his dining option. This saves User A the trouble of making detailed plans, and allows him to fully enjoy his favorite idol's activities.

[0905] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0906] Attending modern events requires users to individually complete a series of procedures, including purchasing tickets, arranging transportation, finding accommodations, and making reservations for sightseeing and meals, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, ensuring these procedures go smoothly requires quickly obtaining the latest information and processing it appropriately. However, doing this manually is extremely cumbersome, making it difficult to secure tickets, especially for popular events. Another problem is that it is difficult to make suggestions that reflect the user's individual preferences and location information. To solve these issues, a system is needed that can centrally support and automate these procedures.

[0907] 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.

[0908] In this invention, the server includes: means for a user to create an account via a terminal and transmit information; means for the server to store the received user information in a storage device and create an account; means for the user to purchase a "specific pass"; means for the server to check the purchase information and link benefits to the user account; means for the user to select an event they wish to attend on their terminal; means for the server to collect event information and suggest the most suitable ticket; means for the user to check the proposed ticket and complete the purchase procedure; means for the server to purchase the ticket and add the electronic ticket to the user account; means for the server to suggest the most suitable means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information; means for the user to check the proposed means of transportation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the transportation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest the most suitable accommodation based on the user's event dates; means for the user to check the proposed accommodation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the accommodation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's preferences and assist the reservation procedure; and means for analyzing the user's prompt sentence using a generative AI model and automating the procedures necessary to participate in the event. This allows users to smoothly go through all the procedures required to participate in the event.

[1064] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[1065] This invention provides a system that supports users in completing the procedures required to participate in events, making support activities more convenient. This system exchanges information between the user's terminal and a server in a virtual space, automatically purchasing tickets, suggesting and reserving transportation options, accommodations, tourist spots, and restaurants.

[1066] Creating an account and purchasing a "specific pass"

[1067] A user launches the app via their device and opens the account creation page. They enter the required information, such as their name, email address, and password, and send it to the server. The server stores the received information in a database and creates an account. Users can also purchase a "special pass" to enjoy VIP benefits. When purchasing this special pass, the server verifies the payment information and associates the benefits with the user's account.

[1068] Get event information and book tickets

[1069] The user opens an event search page in the virtual space via their device and selects the event they wish to attend. The server collects event information and suggests the most suitable ticket. The user then checks the suggested ticket and completes the purchase procedure. The server then proceeds with the ticket purchase, and if successful, issues an electronic ticket and adds it to the user's account.

[1070] Transportation suggestions and reservations

[1071] The server analyzes the optimal means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information.

[1075] The server suggests tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's profile and preferences. The user selects the spots and restaurants that interest them and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends a notification to the user with detailed information.

[1076] Centralizing procedures in a virtual space

[1077] In the virtual space, all of the above procedures can be carried out in one place. Users can seamlessly complete all procedures while experiencing the event in a virtual environment. For example, they can obtain tickets at a ticket counter in the virtual space and make reservations at a virtual hotel. This allows users to enjoy their favorite activities more efficiently, just like in the real world.

[1078] Specific examples

[1079] For example, consider the case where User A travels from Tokyo to Osaka in a virtual space to attend an idol concert. User A creates an account in the virtual environment and purchases a "specific pass." He selects the concert on the event search page, and the server suggests the most suitable ticket. User A purchases the ticket and selects the Shinkansen as his means of transportation. The server reserves the Shinkansen ticket and suggests a hotel in Osaka as his accommodation. User A reserves the hotel, selects Osaka Castle as a tourist spot, and reserves an okonomiyaki restaurant as his dining option. This saves User A the trouble of making detailed plans, and allows him to fully enjoy his favorite idol's activities.

[1431] 3. The server assists with the reservation process and notifies the details.

[1432] Input and Output

[1433] Input: Profile information, search history, emotional data

[1434] Output: Reservation confirmation information for tourist attractions and restaurants

[1435] Specific actions

[1436] The server suggests a "quiet park" and a "relaxing cafe."

[1437] The user clicks the "Book this cafe" button.

[1438] The server sends a notification that the reservation is complete.

[1439] Step 7: Use the Emotion Engine

[1440] procedure

[1441] 1. The emotion engine collects emotion data from the device in real time.

[1442] 2. The device sends the collected emotion data to the server.

[1443] 3. The server analyzes the emotional data and makes suggestions based on the user's emotional state.

[1444] Input and Output

[1445] Input: Emotion data

[1446] Output: Recommendations based on the user's emotional state

[1447] Specific actions

[1448] The emotion engine detects "stress states."

[1449] The server will suggest a "relaxing hot spring inn."

[1450] The user clicks the "Book a Hot Springs Hotel" button, and the server sends a reservation confirmation.

[1451] The above describes the processing steps of the system and their specific operations. This system allows users to receive optimal suggestions based on their emotional state.

[1452] (Application example 2)

[1453] 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."

[1454] In modern society, when users use food delivery services, they need a system that suggests the most suitable food and beverage based on the user's emotional state, which changes in real time, rather than always offering the same food and beverage. Conventional food delivery services do not take the user's emotional state into consideration and do not provide a fully personalized service. As a result, if the food and beverage offered does not suit the user's mood, satisfaction may decrease. Another problem is the effort and time required for users to make the optimal order selection based on their emotions.

[1455] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: means for a user to create an account via a terminal and send information to the server; means for the server to store the received user information in a database and create an account; means for the user to purchase a "specific pass"; means for the server to check the purchase information and link benefits to the user account; means for the user to select an event they wish to attend on their terminal; means for the server to collect event information and suggest the most suitable ticket; means for the user to check the suggested ticket and complete the purchase procedure; means for the server to purchase the ticket and add the electronic ticket to the user account; means for the server to suggest the most suitable means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information; means for the user to check the suggested means of transportation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the transportation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest the most suitable accommodation based on the user's event dates; means for the user to check the suggested accommodation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the accommodation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's preferences and assist the reservation procedure; and means for using a sentiment analysis engine to recognize the user's emotional state and suggest food and drink based on the emotional state. This makes it possible to suggest optimal food and drink options that reflect the user's emotional state in real time.

[1456] A "terminal" is an electronic device through which a user inputs information and communicates with a server.

[1457] A "server" is a computer system that receives information sent by a user, stores it in a database, and performs appropriate processing.

[1458] A "database" is a collection of digital data stored by a server for organizing and managing user information and purchase information.

[1459] An "account" is an individual ID created on the server for a user to use the service.

[1460] A "special pass" is a type of service that gives users benefits when they purchase it.

[1461] An "event" is any type of performance or event in which a user wishes to participate.

[1462] A "ticket" is an admission ticket or participation ticket required for a user to participate in an event.

[1463] "Location information" refers to information about the user's current location or a specified location.

[1464] "Transportation" refers to the means of transportation that users use to travel to event venues, accommodations, etc.

[1465] "Accommodation facilities" are facilities such as hotels and inns where users can stay.

[1466] "Suggestion" means that the system presents the best options to the user.

[1467] "Reservation" is the process by which a user secures proposed transportation, accommodation, restaurants, etc. in advance.

[1468] An "emotion analysis engine" is a system that analyzes a user's emotional state and makes optimal suggestions based on that.

[1469] "Food and drink" refers to food and drink provided to the user.

[1470] The present invention relates to a food delivery system that recognizes a user's emotional state in real time and suggests optimal food and beverage options based on that state. This system is comprised of a user terminal, a server, and an emotion analysis engine, and aims to individually optimize the user's ordering experience.

[1471] User devices and applications

[1472] First, a user creates an account via a device (such as a smartphone) and enters the necessary information. The device sends the entered information to the server, which then saves the information in a database and creates the account. Next, the user purchases a "specific pass" through the application, and the server verifies the purchase information and associates the benefits with the user's account.

[1473] Recognition of emotional states

[1474] When a user attempts to order food or drink, their facial expressions are captured in real time using their smartphone camera. This data is then passed through an emotion analysis engine (e.g., a common facial recognition API) to analyze the user's emotional state. The analysis results are evaluated as an emotional state, such as stressed, relaxed, or excited.

[1475] Server roles and proposed methods

[1476] The server will suggest the most suitable food and drink options based on the user's emotional state, location information, past order history, and preferences. The server will analyze the data in real time and generate a list of food and drink options according to the user's emotional state. The list of suggested food and drink options will be displayed on the user's device.

[1477] Furthermore, once the user confirms the proposed food and drink options and completes the purchase procedure, the server assists in the food and drink reservation procedure and sends reservation confirmation information to the user, allowing the user to quickly and easily select and reserve the most suitable food and drink options.

[1478] Hardware and Software Used

[1479] User device: Smartphone or tablet

[1480] Sentiment analysis engine: General facial recognition API (e.g. Microsoft Azure Face API)

[1481] Server: A cloud-based computer system (e.g., AWS Lambda)

[1482] Database: Digital Data Management System (e.g. Amazon RDS)

[1483] Search and Suggestion: Real-time search engines (e.g. ElasticSearch)

[1484] Component Details

[1485] User Interface: A smartphone application will be built using React Native to provide an interface for users to input information and select suggested foods and drinks.

[1486] Emotional state collection: The smartphone camera is used to capture the user's facial expressions and the emotional data is analyzed through an emotion analysis engine.

[1487] Data transmission and analysis: The collected emotion data is transmitted from the smartphone to a server (AWS Lambda) and analyzed on the server side using Python scripts and the Scikit-learn library.

[1488] Suggestion generation: Based on the emotional state, a list of food and beverage suggestions is generated that takes into account the user's past ordering history and preferences, and is displayed on the smartphone app.

[1489] Specific examples

[1490] For example, if a user is feeling stressed, the system analyzes this in real time and suggests relaxing foods and drinks (such as herbal tea or sweets). When the user selects one and taps "Order" through the application, the server sends reservation confirmation information to the user.

[1491] Example of input prompt for generative AI model

[1492] "The user is currently feeling stressed. Please suggest foods and drinks that will help them relax."

[1493] ---

[1494] In this way, the present invention can analyze the user's emotional state in real time and recommend the most suitable food and beverages, providing a more personalized experience and improving user satisfaction.

[1495] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1496] Step 1:

[1497] A user creates an account via a device (such as a smartphone). The user enters information such as their name, email address, and password, and the device sends this data to the server. Based on the information entered, the server stores the data for account creation and sends the user a confirmation message confirming account creation.

[1498] Step 2:

[1499] The user purchases a "specific pass" using a terminal. The user selects the desired plan and completes the payment procedure. The server receives and processes the payment information, and once the purchase is complete, the benefits are linked to the user's account. The user receives a notification confirming the purchase.

[1500] Step 3:

[1501] The user uses a device to open an event search page and select the event they wish to attend. The selected event information is sent to the server, which collects information about the event and proposes the best ticket. The ticket proposal from the server is displayed on the device, and the user can confirm it.

[1502] Step 4:

[1503] The user reviews the proposed ticket and completes the purchase process. When the user taps the purchase button, a ticket purchase request is sent to the server. The server completes the ticket purchase, issues an e-ticket, and adds it to the user's account. The user then checks the e-ticket on their device.

[1504] Step 5:

[1505] When a user orders food or drink, their facial expressions are captured using the device's camera. The captured data is sent to a sentiment analysis engine in real time. The sentiment analysis engine (e.g., a general facial recognition API) analyzes the emotional data and outputs an emotional state such as stressed, relaxed, or excited.

[1506] Step 6:

[1507] Emotional data is sent to the server, which analyzes the data to suggest optimal food and drink options based on the user's emotional state, location, past order history, and preferences. The server generates a list of food and drink options and sends the suggestions to the user's device.

[1508] Step 7:

[1509] A list of suggested foods and drinks according to the user's emotional state is displayed on the user's device. The user checks the suggested foods and drinks and selects the desired food or drink. When the user taps the order button, the order data is sent to the server.

[1510] Step 8:

[1511] The server assists with the food and beverage reservation process and generates reservation confirmation information. The reservation confirmation information is sent to the user's device, and the user receives a reservation confirmation notification. This allows the user to easily select and reserve optimized food and beverages in real time.

[1512] ---

[1513] By dividing the process into steps in this way, a personalized food delivery service based on user behavior and emotions can be realized.

[1514] 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.

[1515] 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.

[1652] Attending modern events requires users to individually complete a series of procedures, including purchasing tickets, arranging transportation, finding accommodations, and making reservations for sightseeing and meals, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, ensuring these procedures go smoothly requires quickly obtaining the latest information and processing it appropriately. However, doing this manually is extremely cumbersome, making it difficult to secure tickets, especially for popular events. Another problem is that it is difficult to make suggestions that reflect the user's individual preferences and location information. To solve these issues, a system is needed that can centrally support and automate these procedures.

[1653] 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.

Information is exchanged between the user's terminal and a server, and ticket purchases, transportation suggestions and reservations, accommodation suggestions and reservations, and sightseeing spots and restaurants suggestions and reservations are automatically performed.

[1671] Creating an account and purchasing a "specific pass"

[1672] A user launches the application via their device and accesses the account creation page. The user enters the required information, such as their name, email address, and password, and sends it to the server. The server stores the received information in a storage device and creates an account. In addition, the user can purchase a "special pass," which gives them VIP benefits. The server verifies the payment information and associates the benefits with the user's account.

[1673] Get event information and book tickets

[1674] The user opens the event search page on their device and selects the event they wish to attend. The server collects event information and suggests the most suitable ticket. The user checks the suggested ticket and proceeds with the purchase. The server proceeds with the ticket purchase, and if successful, issues an electronic ticket and adds it to the user's account.

[1675] Transportation suggestions and reservations

[1676] The server analyzes the optimal means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information. The analyzed information is displayed on the user's device, and the user can select their preferred means of transportation. The selected information is sent to the server, which assists in reserving the transportation means and sends reservation confirmation information to the user.

[1677] Hotel reservations

[1678] When a user searches for accommodation, the server suggests the most suitable accommodation based on the user's dates and location information. The user checks the suggested accommodation and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends a confirmation to the user.

[1679] Suggestions and reservations for tourist attractions and restaurants

[1680] The server suggests tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's profile and preferences. The user selects the spots and restaurants that interest them and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends a notification to the user with detailed information.

[1681] Specific examples

[1682] For example, if user A travels from Tokyo to attend an event being held in Osaka, he or she can follow the procedure below.

[1683] 1. User A creates an account and purchases a "specific pass."

[1684] 2. Select a concert on the event search page and the server will suggest the best tickets.

[1685] 3. User A purchases a ticket and selects the Shinkansen as their means of transportation. The server reserves the Shinkansen ticket.

[2200] In modern society, when users use food delivery services, they need a system that suggests the most suitable food and beverage based on the user's emotional state, which changes in real time, rather than always offering the same food and beverage. Conventional food delivery services do not take the user's emotional state into consideration and do not provide a fully personalized service. As a result, if the food and beverage offered does not suit the user's mood, satisfaction may decrease. Another problem is the effort and time required for users to make the optimal order selection based on their emotions.

[2201] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: means for a user to create an account via a terminal and send information to the server; means for the server to store the received user information in a database and create an account; means for the user to purchase a "specific pass"; means for the server to check the purchase information and link benefits to the user account; means for the user to select an event they wish to attend on their terminal; means for the server to collect event information and suggest the most suitable ticket; means for the user to check the suggested ticket and complete the purchase procedure; means for the server to purchase the ticket and add the electronic ticket to the user account; means for the server to suggest the most suitable means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information; means for the user to check the suggested means of transportation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the transportation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest the most suitable accommodation based on the user's event dates; means for the user to check the suggested accommodation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the accommodation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's preferences and assist the reservation procedure; and means for using a sentiment analysis engine to recognize the user's emotional state and suggest food and drink based on the emotional state. This makes it possible to suggest optimal food and drink options that reflect the user's emotional state in real time.

[2202] A "terminal" is an electronic device through which a user inputs information and communicates with a server.

[2203] A "server" is a computer system that receives information sent by a user, stores it in a database, and performs appropriate processing.

[2204] A "database" is a collection of digital data stored by a server for organizing and managing user information and purchase information.

[2205] An "account" is an individual ID created on the server for a user to use the service.

[2206] A "special pass" is a type of service that gives users benefits when they purchase it.

[2207] An "event" is any type of performance or event in which a user wishes to participate.

[2208] A "ticket" is an admission ticket or participation ticket required for a user to participate in an event.

[2209] "Location information" refers to information about the user's current location or a specified location.

[2210] "Transportation" refers to the means of transportation that users use to travel to event venues, accommodations, etc.

[2211] "Accommodation facilities" are facilities such as hotels and inns where users can stay.

[2212] "Suggestion" means that the system presents the best options to the user.

[2213] "Reservation" is the process by which a user secures proposed transportation, accommodation, restaurants, etc. in advance.

[2214] An "emotion analysis engine" is a system that analyzes a user's emotional state and makes optimal suggestions based on that.

[2215] "Food and drink" refers to food and drink provided to the user.

[2216] The present invention relates to a food delivery system that recognizes a user's emotional state in real time and suggests optimal food and beverage options based on that state. This system is comprised of a user terminal, a server, and an emotion analysis engine, and aims to individually optimize the user's ordering experience.

[2217] User devices and applications

[2218] First, a user creates an account via a device (such as a smartphone) and enters the necessary information. The device sends the entered information to the server, which then saves the information in a database and creates the account. Next, the user purchases a "specific pass" through the application, and the server verifies the purchase information and associates the benefits with the user's account.

[2219] Recognition of emotional states

[2220] When a user attempts to order food or drink, their facial expressions are captured in real time using their smartphone camera. This data is then passed through an emotion analysis engine (e.g., a common facial recognition API) to analyze the user's emotional state. The analysis results are evaluated as an emotional state, such as stressed, relaxed, or excited.

[2221] Server roles and proposed methods

[2222] The server will suggest the most suitable food and drink options based on the user's emotional state, location information, past order history, and preferences. The server will analyze the data in real time and generate a list of food and drink options according to the user's emotional state. The list of suggested food and drink options will be displayed on the user's device.

[2223] Furthermore, once the user confirms the proposed food and drink options and completes the purchase procedure, the server assists in the food and drink reservation procedure and sends reservation confirmation information to the user, allowing the user to quickly and easily select and reserve the most suitable food and drink options.

[2224] Hardware and Software Used

[2225] User device: Smartphone or tablet

[2226] Sentiment analysis engine: General facial recognition API (e.g. Microsoft Azure Face API)

[2227] Server: A cloud-based computer system (e.g., AWS Lambda)

[2228] Database: Digital Data Management System (e.g. Amazon RDS)

[2229] Search and Suggestion: Real-time search engines (e.g. ElasticSearch)

[2230] Component Details

[2231] User Interface: A smartphone application will be built using React Native to provide an interface for users to input information and select suggested foods and drinks.

[2232] Emotional state collection: The smartphone camera is used to capture the user's facial expressions and the emotional data is analyzed through an emotion analysis engine.

[2233] Data transmission and analysis: The collected emotion data is transmitted from the smartphone to a server (AWS Lambda) and analyzed on the server side using Python scripts and the Scikit-learn library.

[2234] Suggestion generation: Based on the emotional state, a list of food and beverage suggestions is generated that takes into account the user's past ordering history and preferences, and is displayed on the smartphone app.

[2235] Specific examples

[2236] For example, if a user is feeling stressed, the system analyzes this in real time and suggests relaxing foods and drinks (such as herbal tea or sweets). When the user selects one and taps "Order" through the application, the server sends reservation confirmation information to the user.

[2237] Example of input prompt for generative AI model

[2238] "The user is currently feeling stressed. Please suggest foods and drinks that will help them relax."

[2239] ---

[2240] In this way, the present invention can analyze the user's emotional state in real time and recommend the most suitable food and beverages, providing a more personalized experience and improving user satisfaction.

[2241] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[2242] Step 1:

[2243] A user creates an account via a device (such as a smartphone). The user enters information such as their name, email address, and password, and the device sends this data to the server. Based on the information entered, the server stores the data for account creation and sends the user a confirmation message confirming account creation.

[2244] Step 2:

[2245] The user purchases a "specific pass" using a terminal. The user selects the desired plan and completes the payment procedure. The server receives and processes the payment information, and once the purchase is complete, the benefits are linked to the user's account. The user receives a notification confirming the purchase.

[2246] Step 3:

[2247] The user uses a device to open an event search page and select the event they wish to attend. The selected event information is sent to the server, which collects information about the event and proposes the best ticket. The ticket proposal from the server is displayed on the device, and the user can confirm it.

[2248] Step 4:

[2249] The user reviews the proposed ticket and completes the purchase process. When the user taps the purchase button, a ticket purchase request is sent to the server. The server completes the ticket purchase, issues an e-ticket, and adds it to the user's account. The user then checks the e-ticket on their device.

[2250] Step 5:

[2251] When a user orders food or drink, their facial expressions are captured using the device's camera. The captured data is sent to a sentiment analysis engine in real time. The sentiment analysis engine (e.g., a general facial recognition API) analyzes the emotional data and outputs an emotional state such as stressed, relaxed, or excited.

[2252] Step 6:

[2253] Emotional data is sent to the server, which analyzes the data to suggest optimal food and drink options based on the user's emotional state, location, past order history, and preferences. The server generates a list of food and drink options and sends the suggestions to the user's device.

[2254] Step 7:

[2255] A list of suggested foods and drinks according to the user's emotional state is displayed on the user's device. The user checks the suggested foods and drinks and selects the desired food or drink. When the user taps the order button, the order data is sent to the server.

[2256] Step 8:

[2257] The server assists with the food and beverage reservation process and generates reservation confirmation information. The reservation confirmation information is sent to the user's device, and the user receives a reservation confirmation notification. This allows the user to easily select and reserve optimized food and beverages in real time.

[2258] ---

[2259] By dividing the process into steps in this way, a personalized food delivery service based on user behavior and emotions can be realized.

[2260] 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.

[2261] 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.

[2398] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[2399] Attending modern events requires users to individually complete a series of procedures, including purchasing tickets, arranging transportation, finding accommodations, and making reservations for sightseeing and meals, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, ensuring these procedures go smoothly requires quickly obtaining the latest information and processing it appropriately. However, doing this manually is extremely cumbersome, making it difficult to secure tickets, especially for popular events. Another problem is that it is difficult to make suggestions that reflect the user's individual preferences and location information. To solve these issues, a system is needed that can centrally support and automate these procedures.

[2400] 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.

[2401] In this invention, the server includes: means for a user to create an account via a terminal and transmit information; means for the server to store the received user information in a storage device and create an account; means for the user to purchase a "specific pass"; means for the server to check the purchase information and link benefits to the user account; means for the user to select an event they wish to attend on their terminal; means for the server to collect event information and suggest the most suitable ticket; means for the user to check the proposed ticket and complete the purchase procedure; means for the server to purchase the ticket and add the electronic ticket to the user account; means for the server to suggest the most suitable means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information; means for the user to check the proposed means of transportation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the transportation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest the most suitable accommodation based on the user's event dates; means for the user to check the proposed accommodation and make a reservation; means for the server to assist the accommodation reservation procedure and send reservation confirmation information to the user; means for the server to suggest tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's preferences and assist the reservation procedure; and means for analyzing the user's prompt sentence using a generative AI model and automating the procedures necessary to participate in the event. This allows users to smoothly go through all the procedures required to participate in the event.

[2402] A "terminal" is an electronic device that a user uses to input and check information.

[2403] A "server" is a computer system that receives requests from users, processes them, and returns the necessary information.

[2404] A "storage device" is a database or storage device for storing received user information.

[2408] A "prompt sentence" is a text-based command sentence used to input instructions to a generative AI model.

[2409] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes a user's prompt and generates appropriate responses or suggestions.

[2410] A "Ticket" is an admission ticket to participate in an Event.

[2411] "Electronic ticket" means an admission ticket provided in digital format in lieu of a paper ticket.

[2412] "Transportation" refers to the means of transportation used by a user to participate in an event.

[2413] "Accommodation" refers to a place where a user stays when participating in an event.

[2414] "Tourist spots" are tourist destinations and famous places that users would like to visit.

[2415] A "restaurant" is a store such as a restaurant or cafe that a user visits to eat.

[2416] A "reservation procedure" is a procedure that a user must follow in advance to reserve a service.

[2417] This invention relates to a system that efficiently automates the series of procedures required for users to participate in an event. Information is exchanged between the user's terminal and a server, and ticket purchases, transportation suggestions and reservations, accommodation suggestions and reservations, and sightseeing spots and restaurants suggestions and reservations are automatically performed.

[2418] Creating an account and purchasing a "specific pass"

[2419] A user launches the application via their device and accesses the account creation page. The user enters the required information, such as their name, email address, and password, and sends it to the server. The server stores the received information in a storage device and creates an account. In addition, the user can purchase a "special pass," which gives them VIP benefits. The server verifies the payment information and associates the benefits with the user's account.

[2420] Get event information and book tickets

[2421] The user opens the event search page on their device and selects the event they wish to attend. The server collects event information and suggests the most suitable ticket. The user checks the suggested ticket and proceeds with the purchase. The server proceeds with the ticket purchase, and if successful, issues an electronic ticket and adds it to the user's account.

[2422] Transportation suggestions and reservations

[2423] The server analyzes the optimal means of transportation based on the user's event information and location information. The analyzed information is displayed on the user's device, and the user can select their preferred means of transportation. The selected information is sent to the server, which assists in reserving the transportation means and sends reservation confirmation information to the user.

[2424] Hotel reservations

[2425] When a user searches for accommodation, the server suggests the most suitable accommodation based on the user's dates and location information. The user checks the suggested accommodation and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends a confirmation to the user.

[2426] Suggestions and reservations for tourist attractions and restaurants

[2427] The server suggests tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's profile and preferences. The user selects the spots and restaurants that interest them and makes a reservation. The server assists the reservation process and sends a notification to the user with detailed information.

[2428] Specific examples

[2429] For example, if user A travels from Tokyo to attend an event being held in Osaka, he or she can follow the procedure below.

[2430] 1. User A creates an account and purchases a "specific pass."

[2431] 2. Select a concert on the event search page and the server will suggest the best tickets.

[2432] 3. User A purchases a ticket and selects the Shinkansen as their means of transportation. The server reserves the Shinkansen ticket.

[2433] 4. User A selects a hotel in Osaka as the accommodation, and the server completes the reservation process.

[2434] 5. User A selects Osaka Castle as a tourist spot and an okonomiyaki restaurant as a restaurant, and the server assists with the reservation process.

[2435] The system also uses a generative AI model to analyze the user's prompt and automate the process required to participate in the event. Below are some examples of prompts:

[2436] "Automate a system that allows users to purchase tickets to attend a specific event, book transportation, arrange accommodations, and make reservations at local attractions and restaurants all in one place."

[2437] The above is an embodiment of the present invention. This system allows users to seamlessly complete all procedures required to participate in an event.
