[0110] Example 1

[0111] 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."

[0112] In recent years, users have been seeking quick and easy access to information they need in their daily lives and work, while also reducing physical stress. Conventional information provision systems and devices require users to operate them manually, resulting in low convenience and making it difficult to obtain information and manage body posture, especially while on the move. Furthermore, voice control is insufficient, and feedback to users is limited. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can provide appropriate information based on the user's location information and perform advanced voice control and posture management.

[0113] 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.

[0114] In this invention, the server includes: means for acquiring user location information using a wearable device worn by the user and providing information based on the location information; means for acquiring user voice commands using a voice recognition module and updating information based on the voice commands; means for monitoring the user's posture using a sensor and notifying the user of posture abnormalities; means for the server to receive the location information, analyze related information, and transmit the information to the wearable device; means for the wearable device to provide information using a display and provide feedback using voice output; and means for providing the user with necessary information and reducing physical stress by analyzing prompt sentences and providing appropriate information. This allows the user to quickly and easily obtain necessary information even while on the move, and enables advanced voice operation and posture management, thereby improving user convenience and health management.

[0115] A "wearable device" is an electronic device that is worn by the user and includes devices such as smart glasses and smart watches.

[0116] "Location information" is data indicating a user's current geographic location obtained using GPS or other location-determining means.

[0117] "Means for providing information" refers to a system configuration in which the wearable device has the function of displaying or notifying the user of relevant information based on the user's location information.

[0118] A "voice recognition module" is an electronic circuit or software program that captures the user's voice, analyzes it, and converts it into text data.

[0119] A "voice command" is a voice-based operation instruction, including verbal instructions or questions, that a user issues to a wearable device.

[0120] A "sensor" is a device for detecting the state of the user's body or the environment, and includes a gyro sensor, an accelerometer, and the like.

[0121] The "posture monitoring means" is a system configuration that uses sensors to detect the user's posture and movements and monitors changes and abnormalities in posture.

[0122] A "display" is a screen installed on a wearable device that displays visual information to the user.

[0123] "Audio output" is a function for providing information to the user by voice using a speaker or other audio playback device.

[0124] A "generative AI model" is an algorithm or program that uses artificial intelligence to analyze prompts and generate useful information for users.

[0125] A "prompt" is text data that is input into a generative AI model, and is the sentence or instruction that serves as the basis for generating relevant information through analysis.

[0126] This invention relates to a system that uses a wearable device to provide information to a user and further supports user convenience and health management through voice control and posture management. The details of this system are described below.

[0127] Initial Setup

[0128] First, the user puts on the wearable device and pairs it with their smartphone. This is done using a dedicated smartphone app. Through the app, the user performs initial setup such as Wi-Fi connection settings, consent to location sharing, and notification settings. Once the setup is complete, the device (wearable device) displays a "Ready" notification to the user. Visual notifications are provided on the display, and audio notifications are provided using audio output.

[0129] Information Acquisition and Distribution

[0130] When a user moves into a specific area, the terminal (wearable device) acquires the user's current location using the built-in GPS. The acquired location information is sent to a server, which analyzes relevant information based on the location information. The server then sends the analysis results back to the terminal, which then provides the information to the user. For example, when a user enters a shopping mall, information such as "Today's Sale: 20% off all items" is displayed on the wearable device's display. Audio output is also possible.

[0131] Voice control

[0132] A user can issue a voice command to the wearable device. For example, "Tell me the latest offers." The device's built-in microphone captures this voice and sends the voice data to the server. The server uses a generative AI model to analyze the voice data and derive appropriate information. This information is then sent back to the device and presented to the user. Specifically, it displays "Today's special offer: All shoes 50% off."

[0133] Posture correction feedback

[0134] The terminal (wearable device) is equipped with a gyro sensor and an accelerometer, which constantly monitor the user's posture. If the user's posture deteriorates, the terminal will notify the user by saying "Please correct your posture." This notification is conveyed to the user by displaying a message on the screen or by audio output.

[0244] (Application example 1)

[0245] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0246] In recent years, shopping has become increasingly difficult and physically stressful. Particularly in large commercial facilities, it can take a long time to find a product, or people often have to wander around searching for a specific item. In addition, in-store sales and offers change frequently, making it difficult to keep up with them. Furthermore, long wait times at the cash register can make shopping less enjoyable. To solve these issues and provide a more comfortable shopping experience, a system that provides real-time information using the user's location and voice commands is needed.

[0247] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0248] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring location information of the user using smart glasses and providing directions to a specific product, a means for acquiring real-time offer information in the store and providing it to the user, and a means for displaying the congestion status of cash registers in real time and guiding the user to the most suitable cash register. This allows the user to easily check product information and sale information through the smart glasses, enabling comfortable and efficient shopping.

[0249] "Smart glasses" are head-mounted display devices worn by users that display information and acquire data using sensors.

[0250] "Location information" is data used to identify a user's current location using GPS or other positioning systems.

[0251] A "voice recognition module" is a system that analyzes the user's voice and converts it into text or commands.

[0252] A "posture sensor" is a device that uses a gyro sensor, accelerometer, or the like to detect the posture of a user's body.

[0253] "Directions" are a means of providing directions and routes for a user to get to a particular location.

[0254] "Real-time offer information" is the latest information about current sales and special offers.

[0255] "Cashier congestion status" is real-time data on waiting times and number of people at cash registers in stores.

[0256] A "server" is a central information processing device that receives and analyzes user location information, voice commands, and the like to provide information.

[0257] A "voice command" is an instruction or command that a user inputs using voice.

[0258] A "display" is a screen or projection device for displaying visual information.

[0259] The present invention relates to a wearable information distribution system that uses smart glasses to provide necessary information to a user and reduce physical stress. A specific embodiment of this system will be described below.

[0260] System configuration

[0261] The system consists of smart glasses, a smartphone, a server, a voice recognition module, and a posture sensor.

[0262] Smart glasses: Devices worn by the user that provide visual displays and audio feedback.

[0263] Smartphone: A device that pairs with smart glasses to connect via Wi-Fi and share location information.

[0264] Server: A central information processing device that analyzes location information and voice commands and provides related information.

[0265] Speech Recognition Module: A system that recognizes the user's voice commands and converts them into text or instructions.

[0266] Posture sensor: A device for monitoring the user's posture and detecting abnormalities in posture.

[0267] Initial Setup

[0268] First, the user puts on the smart glasses and pairs them with their smartphone. This setup is done through a dedicated smartphone app. Once the user has completed the Wi-Fi connection, location sharing, and notification settings, the smart glasses will display a notification that they are ready.

[0269] Information Acquisition and Distribution

[0270] When a user moves to a specific area, the smart glasses use GPS to obtain location information. The server receives this location information and analyzes the relevant information. The analyzed information is sent to the smart glasses and provided to the user. For example, when a user enters a store, information such as "Today's Sale: 20% off all items" is displayed on the smart glasses.

[0271] Directions function

[0272] When a user selects a specific product by voice, the smart glasses provide directions to the specific product. The server calculates the optimal route based on the user's location information and displays the route information in real time.

[0273] Real-time offer notifications

[0274] When a user approaches a specific product shelf while walking around the store, the smart glasses will display a pop-up with information about discounts and special offers for that product. The server constantly updates information about current sales and special offers, providing appropriate information based on the user's location.

[0275] Reduced waiting time at the register

[0276] The smart glasses display the queue status of cash registers in real time. When a user approaches a cash register, the server guides them to the most suitable cash register based on the current waiting time. The glasses also support electronic payment, allowing users to complete payments in advance through the smart glasses.

[0277] Posture correction feedback

[0278] The smart glasses' posture sensors constantly monitor the user's posture. If their posture deteriorates, they will be notified to "correct their posture." This notification is provided through both visual and audio feedback.

[0279] Specific examples

[0280] For example, if a user issues a voice command such as "Tell me the latest offers" in the electronics section of a shopping mall, the smart glasses will send the location information and the voice command to the server. The server will then analyze the information and send it to the smart glasses, displaying it as "Special Offer: All TVs 50% off."

[0281] Example prompt for a generative AI model:

[0282] "Show your current location in a shopping mall. When you enter a specific area, show offers relevant to that area. For example, in the electronics section, show all TVs for 50% off."

[0283] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0284] Step 1:

[0285] The user puts on the smart glasses and pairs them with a smartphone. The smartphone app is launched and initial settings such as Wi-Fi connection, location sharing, and notification settings are performed. The input is user operation, and the output is a notification that the smart glasses are ready.

[0286] Step 2:

[0287] The device (smart glasses) acquires the user's location information using GPS. It receives GPS data as input and generates coordinate information of the current location as output. This coordinate information is sent to the server.

[0288] Step 3:

[0289] The server analyzes the received location information and identifies information available in the user's vicinity. It analyzes the location information as input and generates related information (e.g., sales information for a specific store) as output.

[0290] Step 4:

[0291] The server sends the analyzed information to the device (smart glasses). It receives the analyzed data as input and delivers the information displayed to the user as output.

[0292] Step 5:

[0293] When a user specifies a specific product through a voice command, the device (smart glasses) converts the voice data into text data using a voice recognition module. The device receives the voice command as input and generates text data as output.

[0294] Step 6:

[0295] The server analyzes the received text data and calculates the optimal route based on the location of the product the user is looking for. It receives text data and location information as input and generates route information as output.

[0296] Step 7:

[0297] The server sends route information to the device (smart glasses). It receives route information as input and delivers route guidance to be displayed to the user as output.

[0298] Step 8:

[0299] The device (smart glasses) displays real-time offer information as a pop-up when the user approaches a product shelf in a store. It receives the user's location information and real-time offer information as input, and generates the offer information to be displayed as output.

[0300] Step 9:

[0301] The terminal (smart glasses) displays the congestion status of the cash registers in real time and guides the customer to the most suitable cash register based on data obtained from the server. It receives congestion status data as input and generates cash register guidance information as output.

[0302] Step 10:

[0303] The device (smart glasses) uses a posture sensor to monitor the user's posture and notify them if their posture deteriorates. As input, it monitors posture data and as output, it generates a notification to correct posture.

[0304] Step 11:

[0305] A generative AI model is used to create prompts for information presentation when a user asks a specific question (e.g., "What are the latest offers?"). The model takes the user's question as input and generates a prompt as output.

[0306] 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.

[0307] This invention is a wearable information distribution system that uses smart glasses to provide necessary information to users and reduce physical stress. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine, which analyzes the user's emotional state in real time and adds the function of adjusting display content and notification content based on the results. Specific embodiments are described below.

[0311] When a user moves to a specific area, the device (smart glasses) acquires location information using GPS. The server receives this location information and analyzes the relevant information. The analyzed information is sent to the device (smart glasses) and provided to the user. For example, when a user enters a shopping mall, information such as "Today's Sale: 20% off all items" is displayed on the smart glasses display.

[0312] Voice control

[0313] Users can issue voice commands to the smart glasses. For example, if they say, "Tell me the latest offers," the built-in microphone in the device (smart glasses) captures the voice, which is then analyzed by the voice recognition module. The analysis results are sent to the server, which provides appropriate information based on the command. The analyzed information is then returned to the device (smart glasses) and displayed, for example, "Today's special offer: All shoes 50% off."

[0314] Posture correction feedback

[0315] The device (smart glasses) is equipped with sensors (gyro sensor and accelerometer) to monitor the user's posture. This allows the device to constantly monitor the user's current posture. If the device determines that the user's posture has deteriorated, it will notify the user to "correct their posture." This notification is not only displayed visually, but in some cases is also provided as audio.

[0316] emotion recognition

[0317] Smart glasses are equipped with a built-in camera that can capture the user's facial expressions. The captured facial expression data is sent to the emotion engine in the device (smart glasses). The emotion engine analyzes this data and understands the user's emotional state.

[0318] Emotion-based information provision

[0319] The device (smart glasses) sends the analysis results to a server. The server then adjusts the relevant information based on the user's emotional state and sends it to the smart glasses. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it will provide relaxing music or scenery information. If the user is excited, it will display a guide to calm down or a notification encouraging deep breathing.

[0502] Smart glasses are equipped with gyro sensors and accelerometers to constantly monitor the user's posture. The device analyzes these sensor data and determines whether the user's posture has deteriorated. The input is sensor data, and the output is posture feedback. Specifically, if the smart glasses determine that the user's posture is poor, they will display a message saying, "Please correct your posture."

[0503] Step 8:

[0504] Providing postural feedback

[0505] If it determines that posture has deteriorated, the device will notify the user to "correct their posture." The notification is displayed as a visual message on the display and, in some cases, an audio alert. The input is the result of analyzing the sensor data, and the output is a visual and audio notification. Specifically, the smart glasses will notify the user to "correct their posture."

[0506] Step 9:

[0507] Capturing emotions

[0508] The smart glasses' built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions. The facial expression data is analyzed by the device's emotion engine. The input is facial expression data, and the output is the analysis results. Specifically, the smart glasses capture the user's facial expressions with the camera, and the message "Analyzing emotional state" is displayed.

[0509] Step 10:

[0510] Emotion analysis and response

[0511] The emotion engine analyzes the facial expression data and determines the user's emotional state. The analysis results are sent to the server, which then generates appropriate information based on the user's emotional state and sends it to the smart glasses. The input is the analysis results of the facial expression data, and the output is appropriate feedback information. Specifically, the smart glasses notify the user, "Stress has been detected. Relaxing music will be played," and then play music.

[0512] (Application example 2)

[0513] 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."

[0514] Conventional information distribution systems using smart glasses were limited to providing information based on the user's location information or voice commands. As a result, they were unable to take into account the user's emotional state and were insufficiently effective in reducing mental stress. Furthermore, in the field of security services, there is a demand for systems that can monitor the surrounding situation in real time and respond quickly, but this demand has not been fully met by conventional technology.

[0515] 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.

[0516] In this invention, the server includes means for providing information based on the user's location information, means for updating information based on the user's voice commands, and means for capturing the user's facial expressions using a built-in camera and analyzing them with an emotion engine to adjust notifications and information based on the user's emotional state. This enables appropriate feedback according to the user's emotional state, reduces mental stress, and enables quick and appropriate responses in the field of security services.

[0517] "Smart glasses" are a type of wearable device, a pair of glasses equipped with a display, camera, and sensors.

[0518] "Location information" refers to the user's current geographical location, and is data primarily obtained using GPS.

[0519] A "voice recognition module" is a piece of software or hardware that analyzes a user's voice commands, converts them into text data, and enables system operation.

[0520] A "posture sensor" is a sensor fusion device that includes a gyro sensor and an accelerometer, and is used to detect the tilt and movement of the user's body and monitor their posture.

[0521] The "built-in camera" is a camera built into smart glasses, a device that has the function of capturing the user's facial expressions and the surrounding environment.

[0522] The "emotion engine" is an analytics engine that analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice data to estimate their emotional state in real time.

[0523] "Notifications" refer to alerts or information directed to the user, which are communicated through the smart glasses' display or audio output.

[0524] "Feedback" refers to the response that the system gives to the user, and is information provided through audio or visual displays.

[0525] This invention realizes a wearable smart glasses-type system for security services that obtains a user's location information, voice commands, posture, and emotional state in real time and provides feedback based on this information. To implement this system, the following elements must be included:

[0534] 3. Data processing and calculation:

[0535] Location information acquisition: The smart glasses acquire the user's location information using the GPS sensor and send this data to the server.

[0536] Voice command analysis: The user speaks a voice command into the built-in microphone, which is then converted into text data by the voice recognition module. The server then analyzes the text data and sends the appropriate information to the smart glasses.

[0537] Posture monitoring: Uses gyro sensors and accelerometers to capture user posture data and provide feedback if an abnormality is detected.

[0538] Emotion analysis: The built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions, which are then analyzed by the emotion engine to estimate their emotional state. The server then uses this emotional data to tailor appropriate feedback and information.

[0539] 4. Example:

[0540] Initial Setup: A user puts on the smart glasses and pairs them with their smartphone. For example, "Sato" sets up the device and it's ready to go.

[0541] Information Acquisition and Distribution: When a user enters a shopping mall, the smart glasses detect their location and retrieve relevant store information from the server and display it. For example, they can display information such as "Welcome to the shopping mall. Today's special offer: 20% off all items."

[0542] Voice control: When a user issues a voice command such as "Tell me about dangerous areas," relevant safety information will be displayed on the smart glasses.

[0543] Posture correction feedback: Smart glasses monitor the user's posture and notify them to "correct their posture" if their posture deteriorates.

[0544] Emotion recognition and feedback: The built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions, and if the emotional state is determined to be "high stress," it provides feedback such as "take a break."

[0545] Example prompt sentence:

[0546] "Simulate how a user responds when approaching a dangerous area in a shopping mall, their posture worsens, and stress levels rise."

[0547] This configuration and operating procedure provides appropriate feedback according to the user's emotional state and surrounding circumstances, making it possible to improve security and reduce the user's mental stress.

[0548] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0567] Data processing / calculation: Analyzes data obtained from the gyro sensor and accelerometer to determine whether the user's posture is abnormal.

[0568] Output: Notification when an abnormality is detected (e.g. "Please correct your posture")

[0569] Step 5: Analyze emotional state

[0570] The built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions, and the emotion engine analyzes the data to estimate their emotional state. The server then tailors the feedback and information based on this data.

[0571] Input: Facial expression data (camera capture)

[0572] Data processing / calculation: The emotion engine analyzes facial expression data and estimates the user's emotional state (e.g., stress level).

[0573] Output: Feedback based on emotional state (e.g., "Relax")

[0574] Step 6: Real-time feedback and adjustments

[0575] Based on the analytical data, the server generates appropriate feedback related to emotional state and location information and sends it to the smart glasses.

[0576] Input: Analysis results (location information, voice commands, posture data, emotional state)

[0577] Data processing / calculation: Based on comprehensive analysis on the server, optimal feedback and information is generated and sent to the smart glasses.

[0578] Output: Tailored information and notifications displayed in real time (e.g. "Relaxing music is playing")

[0579] Through these steps, users can receive seamless, real-time information and feedback.

[0580] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14.

[0671] 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."

[0672] In recent years, users have been seeking quick and easy access to information they need in their daily lives and work, while also reducing physical stress. Conventional information provision systems and devices require users to operate them manually, resulting in low convenience and making it difficult to obtain information and manage body posture, especially while on the move. Furthermore, voice control is insufficient, and feedback to users is limited. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can provide appropriate information based on the user's location information and perform advanced voice control and posture management.

[0673] 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.

[0674] In this invention, the server includes: means for acquiring user location information using a wearable device worn by the user and providing information based on the location information; means for acquiring user voice commands using a voice recognition module and updating information based on the voice commands; means for monitoring the user's posture using a sensor and notifying the user of posture abnormalities; means for the server to receive the location information, analyze related information, and transmit the information to the wearable device; means for the wearable device to provide information using a display and provide feedback using voice output; and means for providing the user with necessary information and reducing physical stress by analyzing prompt sentences and providing appropriate information. This allows the user to quickly and easily obtain necessary information even while on the move, and enables advanced voice operation and posture management, thereby improving user convenience and health management.

[0675] A "wearable device" is an electronic device that is worn by the user and includes devices such as smart glasses and smart watches.

[0676] "Location information" is data indicating a user's current geographic location obtained using GPS or other location-determining means.

[0677] "Means for providing information" refers to a system configuration in which the wearable device has the function of displaying or notifying the user of relevant information based on the user's location information.

[0678] A "voice recognition module" is an electronic circuit or software program that captures the user's voice, analyzes it, and converts it into text data.

[0679] A "voice command" is a voice-based operation instruction, including verbal instructions or questions, that a user issues to a wearable device.

[0680] A "sensor" is a device for detecting the state of the user's body or the environment, and includes a gyro sensor, an accelerometer, and the like.

[0681] The "posture monitoring means" is a system configuration that uses sensors to detect the user's posture and movements and monitors changes and abnormalities in posture.

[0682] A "display" is a screen installed on a wearable device that displays visual information to the user.

[0683] "Audio output" is a function for providing information to the user by voice using a speaker or other audio playback device.

[0684] A "generative AI model" is an algorithm or program that uses artificial intelligence to analyze prompts and generate useful information for users.

[0685] A "prompt" is text data that is input into a generative AI model, and is the sentence or instruction that serves as the basis for generating relevant information through analysis.

[0686] This invention relates to a system that uses a wearable device to provide information to a user and further supports user convenience and health management through voice control and posture management. The details of this system are described below.

[0687] Initial Setup

[0688] First, the user puts on the wearable device and pairs it with their smartphone. This is done using a dedicated smartphone app. Through the app, the user performs initial setup such as Wi-Fi connection settings, consent to location sharing, and notification settings. Once the setup is complete, the device (wearable device) displays a "Ready" notification to the user. Visual notifications are provided on the display, and audio notifications are provided using audio output.

[0689] Information Acquisition and Distribution

[0690] When a user moves into a specific area, the terminal (wearable device) acquires the user's current location using the built-in GPS. The acquired location information is sent to a server, which analyzes relevant information based on the location information. The server then sends the analysis results back to the terminal, which then provides the information to the user. For example, when a user enters a shopping mall, information such as "Today's Sale: 20% off all items" is displayed on the wearable device's display. Audio output is also possible.

[0691] Voice control

[0692] A user can issue a voice command to the wearable device. For example, "Tell me the latest offers." The device's built-in microphone captures this voice and sends the voice data to the server. The server uses a generative AI model to analyze the voice data and derive appropriate information. This information is then sent back to the device and presented to the user. Specifically, it displays "Today's special offer: All shoes 50% off."

[0693] Posture correction feedback

[0694] The terminal (wearable device) is equipped with a gyro sensor and an accelerometer, which constantly monitor the user's posture. If the user's posture deteriorates, the terminal will notify the user by saying "Please correct your posture." This notification is conveyed to the user by displaying a message on the screen or by audio output.

[0805] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0806] In recent years, shopping has become increasingly difficult and physically stressful. Particularly in large commercial facilities, it can take a long time to find a product, or people often have to wander around searching for a specific item. In addition, in-store sales and offers change frequently, making it difficult to keep up with them. Furthermore, long wait times at the cash register can make shopping less enjoyable. To solve these issues and provide a more comfortable shopping experience, a system that provides real-time information using the user's location and voice commands is needed.

[0807] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0808] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring location information of the user using smart glasses and providing directions to a specific product, a means for acquiring real-time offer information in the store and providing it to the user, and a means for displaying the congestion status of cash registers in real time and guiding the user to the most suitable cash register. This allows the user to easily check product information and sale information through the smart glasses, enabling comfortable and efficient shopping.

[0809] "Smart glasses" are head-mounted display devices worn by users that display information and acquire data using sensors.

[0810] "Location information" is data used to identify a user's current location using GPS or other positioning systems.

[0811] A "voice recognition module" is a system that analyzes the user's voice and converts it into text or commands.

[0812] A "posture sensor" is a device that uses a gyro sensor, accelerometer, or the like to detect the posture of a user's body.

[0813] "Directions" are a means of providing directions and routes for a user to get to a particular location.

[0814] "Real-time offer information" is the latest information about current sales and special offers.

[0815] "Cashier congestion status" is real-time data on waiting times and number of people at cash registers in stores.

[0816] A "server" is a central information processing device that receives and analyzes user location information, voice commands, and the like to provide information.

[0817] A "voice command" is an instruction or command that a user inputs using voice.

[0818] A "display" is a screen or projection device for displaying visual information.

[0819] The present invention relates to a wearable information distribution system that uses smart glasses to provide necessary information to a user and reduce physical stress. A specific embodiment of this system will be described below.

[0820] System configuration

[0821] The system consists of smart glasses, a smartphone, a server, a voice recognition module, and a posture sensor.

[0822] Smart glasses: Devices worn by the user that provide visual displays and audio feedback.

[0823] Smartphone: A device that pairs with smart glasses to connect via Wi-Fi and share location information.

[0824] Server: A central information processing device that analyzes location information and voice commands and provides related information.

[0825] Speech Recognition Module: A system that recognizes the user's voice commands and converts them into text or instructions.

[0826] Posture sensor: A device for monitoring the user's posture and detecting abnormalities in posture.

[0827] Initial Setup

[0828] First, the user puts on the smart glasses and pairs them with their smartphone. This setup is done through a dedicated smartphone app. Once the user has completed the Wi-Fi connection, location sharing, and notification settings, the smart glasses will display a notification that they are ready.

[0829] Information Acquisition and Distribution

[0830] When a user moves to a specific area, the smart glasses use GPS to obtain location information. The server receives this location information and analyzes the relevant information. The analyzed information is sent to the smart glasses and provided to the user. For example, when a user enters a store, information such as "Today's Sale: 20% off all items" is displayed on the smart glasses.

[0831] Directions function

[0832] When a user selects a specific product by voice, the smart glasses provide directions to the specific product. The server calculates the optimal route based on the user's location information and displays the route information in real time.

[0833] Real-time offer notifications

[0834] When a user approaches a specific product shelf while walking around the store, the smart glasses will display a pop-up with information about discounts and special offers for that product. The server constantly updates information about current sales and special offers, providing appropriate information based on the user's location.

[0835] Reduced waiting time at the register

[0836] The smart glasses display the queue status of cash registers in real time. When a user approaches a cash register, the server guides them to the most suitable cash register based on the current waiting time. The glasses also support electronic payment, allowing users to complete payments in advance through the smart glasses.

[0837] Posture correction feedback

[0838] The smart glasses' posture sensors constantly monitor the user's posture. If their posture deteriorates, they will be notified to "correct their posture." This notification is provided through both visual and audio feedback.

[0839] Specific examples

[0840] For example, if a user issues a voice command such as "Tell me the latest offers" in the electronics section of a shopping mall, the smart glasses will send the location information and the voice command to the server. The server will then analyze the information and send it to the smart glasses, displaying it as "Special Offer: All TVs 50% off."

[0841] Example prompt for a generative AI model:

[0842] "Show your current location in a shopping mall. When you enter a specific area, show offers relevant to that area. For example, in the electronics section, show all TVs for 50% off."

[0843] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0844] Step 1:

[0845] The user puts on the smart glasses and pairs them with a smartphone. The smartphone app is launched and initial settings such as Wi-Fi connection, location sharing, and notification settings are performed. The input is user operation, and the output is a notification that the smart glasses are ready.

[0846] Step 2:

[0847] The device (smart glasses) acquires the user's location information using GPS. It receives GPS data as input and generates coordinate information of the current location as output. This coordinate information is sent to the server.

[0848] Step 3:

[0849] The server analyzes the received location information and identifies information available in the user's vicinity. It analyzes the location information as input and generates related information (e.g., sales information for a specific store) as output.

[0850] Step 4:

[0851] The server sends the analyzed information to the device (smart glasses). It receives the analyzed data as input and delivers the information displayed to the user as output.

[0852] Step 5:

[0853] When a user specifies a specific product through a voice command, the device (smart glasses) converts the voice data into text data using a voice recognition module. The device receives the voice command as input and generates text data as output.

[0854] Step 6:

[0855] The server analyzes the received text data and calculates the optimal route based on the location of the product the user is looking for. It receives text data and location information as input and generates route information as output.

[0856] Step 7:

[0857] The server sends route information to the device (smart glasses). It receives route information as input and delivers route guidance to be displayed to the user as output.

[0858] Step 8:

[0859] The device (smart glasses) displays real-time offer information as a pop-up when the user approaches a product shelf in a store. It receives the user's location information and real-time offer information as input, and generates the offer information to be displayed as output.

[0860] Step 9:

[0861] The terminal (smart glasses) displays the congestion status of the cash registers in real time and guides the customer to the most suitable cash register based on data obtained from the server. It receives congestion status data as input and generates cash register guidance information as output.

[0862] Step 10:

[0863] The device (smart glasses) uses a posture sensor to monitor the user's posture and notify them if their posture deteriorates. As input, it monitors posture data and as output, it generates a notification to correct posture.

[0864] Step 11:

[0865] A generative AI model is used to create prompts for information presentation when a user asks a specific question (e.g., "What are the latest offers?"). The model takes the user's question as input and generates a prompt as output.

[0866] 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.

[0867] This invention is a wearable information distribution system that uses smart glasses to provide necessary information to users and reduce physical stress. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine, which analyzes the user's emotional state in real time and adds the function of adjusting display content and notification content based on the results. Specific embodiments are described below.

[0871] When a user moves to a specific area, the device (smart glasses) acquires location information using GPS. The server receives this location information and analyzes the relevant information. The analyzed information is sent to the device (smart glasses) and provided to the user. For example, when a user enters a shopping mall, information such as "Today's Sale: 20% off all items" is displayed on the smart glasses display.

[0872] Voice control

[0873] Users can issue voice commands to the smart glasses. For example, if they say, "Tell me the latest offers," the built-in microphone in the device (smart glasses) captures the voice, which is then analyzed by the voice recognition module. The analysis results are sent to the server, which provides appropriate information based on the command. The analyzed information is then returned to the device (smart glasses) and displayed, for example, "Today's special offer: All shoes 50% off."

[0874] Posture correction feedback

[0875] The device (smart glasses) is equipped with sensors (gyro sensor and accelerometer) to monitor the user's posture. This allows the device to constantly monitor the user's current posture. If the device determines that the user's posture has deteriorated, it will notify the user to "correct their posture." This notification is not only displayed visually, but in some cases is also provided as audio.

[0876] emotion recognition

[0877] Smart glasses are equipped with a built-in camera that can capture the user's facial expressions. The captured facial expression data is sent to the emotion engine in the device (smart glasses). The emotion engine analyzes this data and understands the user's emotional state.

[0878] Emotion-based information provision

[0879] The device (smart glasses) sends the analysis results to a server. The server then adjusts the relevant information based on the user's emotional state and sends it to the smart glasses.

[1030] example:

[1031] "Using voice commands"

[1032] Posture correction feedback

[1033] If the user's posture deteriorates, the smart glasses will provide feedback.

[1034] example:

[1035] Posture correction feedback

[1036] Emotion Recognition and Feedback

[1037] If the emotion engine determines that the user is under stress, the server will provide appropriate measures to deal with the situation.

[1038] example:

[1039] "Emotion Recognition and Feedback"

[1040] In this way, the present invention, which combines an emotion engine, provides a convenient and stress-free information acquisition environment for the user, and also enables appropriate feedback according to the user's emotional state.

[1041] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1042] Step 1:

[1043] Initial Setup

[1044] The user puts on the smart glasses and launches the smartphone app. The smartphone app detects the smart glasses and pairs them via Bluetooth. The input is the user's pairing operation, and the output is a notification that pairing is complete. Specifically, the user allows the Bluetooth connection on the smartphone screen, and once pairing is complete, the smart glasses display "Ready."

[1045] Step 2:

[1046] Basic settings

[1047] The user configures basic settings such as Wi-Fi settings, consent to location sharing, and notification settings on the smartphone app. The smartphone then sends the settings to the device (smart glasses). The input is the basic setting operation, and the output is a notification that the settings are complete. Specifically, the user enters the settings on the smartphone app screen, and the message "Settings complete" is displayed.

[1048] Step 3:

[1049] Obtaining location information

[1050] When a user moves into a specific area, the smart glasses use the built-in GPS sensor to obtain their current location. The device then transmits this location information to the server in real time. The input is the current location information, and the output is a notification that transmission to the server has been completed. Specifically, the smart glasses automatically capture the location information and display the message "Sending location information."

[1051] Step 4:

[1052] Information analysis and distribution

[1053] The server analyzes the location information it receives and generates appropriate information (e.g., information about nearby stores or special offers). The analyzed information is then sent back to the smart glasses and displayed on the user's screen. The input is location information, and the output is the analyzed information. Specifically, the server analyzes the location information, generates matching data, and displays the "analyzed information" on the smart glasses.

[1054] Step 5:

[1055] Speak voice commands

[1056] The user issues a voice command to the smart glasses (e.g., "Tell me the latest offers"). The smart glasses' built-in microphone captures the voice. The input is the user's voice command, and the output is the captured voice data. Specifically, the user says "Tell me the latest offers," and the smart glasses capture the voice and send it to the server.

[1057] Step 6:

[1058] Voice analysis and information provision

[1059] The device analyzes the command using a voice recognition module. The analysis results are sent to the server, which then generates appropriate information based on the command and sends it to the smart glasses. The analysis results are then displayed to the user on the screen. The input is the captured voice data, and the output is the analyzed information. Specifically, the server analyzes the voice data into the "latest offers" and displays them on the smart glasses.

[1060] Step 7:

[1061] Posture monitoring

[1062] Smart glasses are equipped with gyro sensors and accelerometers to constantly monitor the user's posture. The device analyzes these sensor data and determines whether the user's posture has deteriorated. The input is sensor data, and the output is posture feedback. Specifically, if the smart glasses determine that the user's posture is poor, they will display a message saying, "Please correct your posture."

[1063] Step 8:

[1064] Providing postural feedback

[1065] If it determines that posture has deteriorated, the device will notify the user to "correct their posture." The notification is displayed as a visual message on the display and, in some cases, an audio alert. The input is the result of analyzing the sensor data, and the output is a visual and audio notification. Specifically, the smart glasses will notify the user to "correct their posture."

[1066] Step 9:

[1067] Capturing emotions

[1068] The smart glasses' built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions. The facial expression data is analyzed by the device's emotion engine. The input is facial expression data, and the output is the analysis results. Specifically, the smart glasses capture the user's facial expressions with the camera, and the message "Analyzing emotional state" is displayed.

[1069] Step 10:

[1070] Emotion analysis and response

[1071] The emotion engine analyzes the facial expression data and determines the user's emotional state. The analysis results are sent to the server, which then generates appropriate information based on the user's emotional state and sends it to the smart glasses. The input is the analysis results of the facial expression data, and the output is appropriate feedback information. Specifically, the smart glasses notify the user, "Stress has been detected. Relaxing music will be played," and then play music.

[1072] (Application example 2)

[1073] 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."

[1074] Conventional information distribution systems using smart glasses were limited to providing information based on the user's location information or voice commands. As a result, they were unable to take into account the user's emotional state and were insufficiently effective in reducing mental stress. Furthermore, in the field of security services, there is a demand for systems that can monitor the surrounding situation in real time and respond quickly, but this demand has not been fully met by conventional technology.

[1075] 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.

[1076] In this invention, the server includes means for providing information based on the user's location information, means for updating information based on the user's voice commands, and means for capturing the user's facial expressions using a built-in camera and analyzing them with an emotion engine to adjust notifications and information based on the user's emotional state. This enables appropriate feedback according to the user's emotional state, reduces mental stress, and enables quick and appropriate responses in the field of security services.

[1077] "Smart glasses" are a type of wearable device, a pair of glasses equipped with a display, camera, and sensors.

[1078] "Location information" refers to the user's current geographical location, and is data primarily obtained using GPS.

[1097] Posture monitoring: Uses gyro sensors and accelerometers to capture user posture data and provide feedback if an abnormality is detected.

[1098] Emotion analysis: The built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions, which are then analyzed by the emotion engine to estimate their emotional state. The server then uses this emotional data to tailor appropriate feedback and information.

[1099] 4. Example:

[1100] Initial Setup: A user puts on the smart glasses and pairs them with their smartphone. For example, "Sato" sets up the device and it's ready to go.

[1101] Information Acquisition and Distribution: When a user enters a shopping mall, the smart glasses detect their location and retrieve relevant store information from the server and display it. For example, they can display information such as "Welcome to the shopping mall. Today's special offer: 20% off all items."

[1102] Voice control: When a user issues a voice command such as "Tell me about dangerous areas," relevant safety information will be displayed on the smart glasses.

[1103] Posture correction feedback: Smart glasses monitor the user's posture and notify them to "correct their posture" if their posture deteriorates.

[1104] Emotion recognition and feedback: The built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions, and if the emotional state is determined to be "high stress," it provides feedback such as "take a break."

[1105] Example prompt sentence:

[1106] "Simulate how a user responds when approaching a dangerous area in a shopping mall, their posture worsens, and stress levels rise."

[1107] This configuration and operating procedure provides appropriate feedback according to the user's emotional state and surrounding circumstances, making it possible to improve security and reduce the user's mental stress.

[1108] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1239] A "voice command" is a voice-based operation instruction, including verbal instructions or questions, that a user issues to a wearable device.

[1240] A "sensor" is a device for detecting the state of the user's body or the environment, and includes a gyro sensor, an accelerometer, and the like.

[1241] The "posture monitoring means" is a system configuration that uses sensors to detect the user's posture and movements and monitors changes and abnormalities in posture.

[1242] A "display" is a screen installed on a wearable device that displays visual information to the user.

[1243] "Audio output" is a function for providing information to the user by voice using a speaker or other audio playback device.

[1244] A "generative AI model" is an algorithm or program that uses artificial intelligence to analyze prompts and generate useful information for users.

[1245] A "prompt" is text data that is input into a generative AI model, and is the sentence or instruction that serves as the basis for generating relevant information through analysis.

[1246] This invention relates to a system that uses a wearable device to provide information to a user and further supports user convenience and health management through voice control and posture management. The details of this system are described below.

[1247] Initial Setup

[1248] First, the user puts on the wearable device and pairs it with their smartphone. This is done using a dedicated smartphone app. Through the app, the user performs initial setup such as Wi-Fi connection settings, consent to location sharing, and notification settings. Once the setup is complete, the device (wearable device) displays a "Ready" notification to the user. Visual notifications are provided on the display, and audio notifications are provided using audio output.

[1249] Information Acquisition and Distribution

[1250] When a user moves into a specific area, the terminal (wearable device) acquires the user's current location using the built-in GPS. The acquired location information is sent to a server, which analyzes relevant information based on the location information. The server then sends the analysis results back to the terminal, which then provides the information to the user. For example, when a user enters a shopping mall, information such as "Today's Sale: 20% off all items" is displayed on the wearable device's display. Audio output is also possible.

[1251] Voice control

[1252] A user can issue a voice command to the wearable device. For example, "Tell me the latest offers." The device's built-in microphone captures this voice and sends the voice data to the server. The server uses a generative AI model to analyze the voice data and derive appropriate information. This information is then sent back to the device and presented to the user. Specifically, it displays "Today's special offer: All shoes 50% off."

[1253] Posture correction feedback

[1254] The terminal (wearable device) is equipped with a gyro sensor and an accelerometer, which constantly monitor the user's posture. If the user's posture deteriorates, the terminal will notify the user by saying "Please correct your posture." This notification is conveyed to the user by displaying a message on the screen or by audio output.

[1366] In recent years, shopping has become increasingly difficult and physically stressful. Particularly in large commercial facilities, it can take a long time to find a product, or people often have to wander around searching for a specific item. In addition, in-store sales and offers change frequently, making it difficult to keep up with them. Furthermore, long wait times at the cash register can make shopping less enjoyable. To solve these issues and provide a more comfortable shopping experience, a system that provides real-time information using the user's location and voice commands is needed.

[1367] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[1368] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring location information of the user using smart glasses and providing directions to a specific product, a means for acquiring real-time offer information in the store and providing it to the user, and a means for displaying the congestion status of cash registers in real time and guiding the user to the most suitable cash register. This allows the user to easily check product information and sale information through the smart glasses, enabling comfortable and efficient shopping.

[1369] "Smart glasses" are head-mounted display devices worn by users that display information and acquire data using sensors.

[1370] "Location information" is data used to identify a user's current location using GPS or other positioning systems.

[1371] A "voice recognition module" is a system that analyzes the user's voice and converts it into text or commands.

[1372] A "posture sensor" is a device that uses a gyro sensor, accelerometer, or the like to detect the posture of a user's body.

[1373] "Directions" are a means of providing directions and routes for a user to get to a particular location.

[1374] "Real-time offer information" is the latest information about current sales and special offers.

[1375] "Cashier congestion status" is real-time data on waiting times and number of people at cash registers in stores.

[1376] A "server" is a central information processing device that receives and analyzes user location information, voice commands, and the like to provide information.

[1377] A "voice command" is an instruction or command that a user inputs using voice.

[1378] A "display" is a screen or projection device for displaying visual information.

[1379] The present invention relates to a wearable information distribution system that uses smart glasses to provide necessary information to a user and reduce physical stress. A specific embodiment of this system will be described below.

[1380] System configuration

[1381] The system consists of smart glasses, a smartphone, a server, a voice recognition module, and a posture sensor.

[1414] Step 6:

[1415] The server analyzes the received text data and calculates the optimal route based on the location of the product the user is looking for. It receives text data and location information as input and generates route information as output.

[1416] Step 7:

[1417] The server sends route information to the device (smart glasses). It receives route information as input and delivers route guidance to be displayed to the user as output.

[1418] Step 8:

[1419] The device (smart glasses) displays real-time offer information as a pop-up when the user approaches a product shelf in a store. It receives the user's location information and real-time offer information as input, and generates the offer information to be displayed as output.

[1420] Step 9:

[1421] The terminal (smart glasses) displays the congestion status of the cash registers in real time and guides the customer to the most suitable cash register based on data obtained from the server. It receives congestion status data as input and generates cash register guidance information as output.

[1422] Step 10:

[1423] The device (smart glasses) uses a posture sensor to monitor the user's posture and notify them if their posture deteriorates. As input, it monitors posture data and as output, it generates a notification to correct posture.

[1424] Step 11:

[1425] A generative AI model is used to create prompts for information presentation when a user asks a specific question (e.g., "What are the latest offers?"). The model takes the user's question as input and generates a prompt as output.

[1426] 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.

[1427] This invention is a wearable information distribution system that uses smart glasses to provide necessary information to users and reduce physical stress. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine, which analyzes the user's emotional state in real time and adds the function of adjusting display content and notification content based on the results.

[1433] Users can issue voice commands to the smart glasses. For example, if they say, "Tell me the latest offers," the built-in microphone in the device (smart glasses) captures the voice, which is then analyzed by the voice recognition module. The analysis results are sent to the server, which provides appropriate information based on the command. The analyzed information is then returned to the device (smart glasses) and displayed, for example, "Today's special offer: All shoes 50% off."

[1434] Posture correction feedback

[1435] The device (smart glasses) is equipped with sensors (gyro sensor and accelerometer) to monitor the user's posture. This allows the device to constantly monitor the user's current posture. If the device determines that the user's posture has deteriorated, it will notify the user to "correct their posture." This notification is not only displayed visually, but in some cases is also provided as audio.

[1436] emotion recognition

[1437] Smart glasses are equipped with a built-in camera that can capture the user's facial expressions. The captured facial expression data is sent to the emotion engine in the device (smart glasses). The emotion engine analyzes this data and understands the user's emotional state.

[1438] Emotion-based information provision

[1439] The device (smart glasses) sends the analysis results to a server. The server then adjusts the relevant information based on the user's emotional state and sends it to the smart glasses.

This allows the user to acquire and operate information appropriately without feeling stressed, and by providing feedback according to posture and emotional state, it is possible to reduce physical and mental strain.

[1558] "Smart glasses" are wearable devices that can be worn by users and have built-in displays, sensors, cameras, etc., and are capable of displaying and acquiring information.

[1559] "Location Information" refers to the geographic location of a user's current location, and is data obtained using GPS sensors or other location-determining technologies.

[1560] A "voice recognition module" is a software or hardware feature that captures voice commands spoken by a user, analyzes them, and converts them into a form that a computer can understand.

[1561] A "posture sensor" is a sensor used to monitor the posture and movement of a user's body, and includes a gyro sensor and an accelerometer.

[1562] An "emotion engine" is a software or hardware function that analyzes data such as a user's facial expressions and voice, and determines their emotional state in real time.

[1563] "Display content" refers to all information such as text, images, and videos displayed on the smart glasses screen.

[1564] The "notification content" is the content that visually or audibly conveys information such as feedback or alerts to the user.

[1565] "Real-time" refers to data acquisition and analysis occurring in the present moment with little or no delay.

[1566] This invention is a wearable information distribution system that uses smart glasses to provide users with necessary information and reduce physical stress. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine that analyzes the user's emotional state in real time and adds the ability to adjust display and notification content based on the results.

[1567] Initial Setup

[1568] First, the user puts on the smart glasses and pairs them with their smartphone. This setup is done through a smartphone app, where the user configures basic settings such as Wi-Fi connection, location sharing consent, and notification settings. Once the setup is complete, the device (smart glasses) displays a notification to the user that they are ready.

[1569] Information Acquisition and Distribution

[1570] When a user moves to a specific area, the device (smart glasses) acquires location information using GPS. The server receives this location information and analyzes the relevant information. The analyzed information is sent to the device (smart glasses) and provided to the user. For example, when a user enters a shopping mall, information such as "Today's Sale: 20% off all items" is displayed on the smart glasses display.

[1571] Voice control

[1572] Users can issue voice commands to the smart glasses. For example, if they say, "Tell me the latest offers," the built-in microphone in the device (smart glasses) captures the voice, which is then analyzed by the voice recognition module. The analysis results are sent to the server, which provides appropriate information based on the command. The analyzed information is then returned to the device (smart glasses) and displayed, for example, "Today's special offer: All shoes 50% off."

[1573] Posture correction feedback

[1574] The device (smart glasses) is equipped with sensors (gyro sensor and accelerometer) to monitor the user's posture. This allows the device to constantly monitor the user's current posture. If the device determines that the user's posture has deteriorated, it will notify the user to "correct their posture." This notification is not only displayed visually, but in some cases is also provided as audio.

[1575] emotion recognition

[1576] Smart glasses are equipped with a built-in camera that can capture the user's facial expressions. The captured facial expression data is sent to the emotion engine in the device (smart glasses). The emotion engine analyzes this data and understands the user's emotional state.

[1577] Emotion-based information provision

[1578] The device (smart glasses) sends the analysis results to a server. The server then adjusts the relevant information based on the user's emotional state and sends it to the smart glasses. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it will provide relaxing music or scenery information. If the user is excited, it will display a guide to calm down or a notification encouraging deep breathing.

[1579] Specific operation examples

[1580] Initial Setup

[1581] The user wears the smart glasses and pairs them with their smartphone.

[1582] example:

[1583] "Smartglasses setup"

[1584] Information Acquisition and Distribution

[1597] If the emotion engine determines that the user is under stress, the server will provide appropriate measures to deal with the situation.

[1598] example:

[1599] "Emotion Recognition and Feedback"

[1600] In this way, the present invention, which combines an emotion engine, provides a convenient and stress-free information acquisition environment for the user, and also enables appropriate feedback according to the user's emotional state.

[1601] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1602] Step 1:

[1603] Initial Setup

[1604] The user puts on the smart glasses and launches the smartphone app. The smartphone app detects the smart glasses and pairs them via Bluetooth. The input is the user's pairing operation, and the output is a notification that pairing is complete. Specifically, the user allows the Bluetooth connection on the smartphone screen, and once pairing is complete, the smart glasses display "Ready."

[1605] Step 2:

[1606] Basic settings

[1607] The user configures basic settings such as Wi-Fi settings, consent to location sharing, and notification settings on the smartphone app. The smartphone then sends the settings to the device (smart glasses). The input is the basic setting operation, and the output is a notification that the settings are complete. Specifically, the user enters the settings on the smartphone app screen, and the message "Settings complete" is displayed.

[1608] Step 3:

[1609] Obtaining location information

[1610] When a user moves into a specific area, the smart glasses use the built-in GPS sensor to obtain their current location. The device then transmits this location information to the server in real time. The input is the current location information, and the output is a notification that transmission to the server has been completed. Specifically, the smart glasses automatically capture the location information and display the message "Sending location information."

[1611] Step 4:

[1612] Information analysis and distribution

[1613] The server analyzes the location information it receives and generates appropriate information (e.g., information about nearby stores or special offers). The analyzed information is then sent back to the smart glasses and displayed on the user's screen. The input is location information, and the output is the analyzed information. Specifically, the server analyzes the location information, generates matching data, and displays the "analyzed information" on the smart glasses.

[1614] Step 5:

[1615] Speak voice commands

[1616] The user issues a voice command to the smart glasses (e.g., "Tell me the latest offers"). The smart glasses' built-in microphone captures the voice. The input is the user's voice command, and the output is the captured voice data. Specifically, the user says "Tell me the latest offers," and the smart glasses capture the voice and send it to the server.

[1617] Step 6:

[1618] Voice analysis and information provision

[1619] The device analyzes the command using a voice recognition module. The analysis results are sent to the server, which then generates appropriate information based on the command and sends it to the smart glasses. The analysis results are then displayed to the user on the screen. The input is the captured voice data, and the output is the analyzed information. Specifically, the server analyzes the voice data into the "latest offers" and displays them on the smart glasses.

[1620] Step 7:

[1621] Posture monitoring

[1622] Smart glasses are equipped with gyro sensors and accelerometers to constantly monitor the user's posture. The device analyzes these sensor data and determines whether the user's posture has deteriorated. The input is sensor data, and the output is posture feedback. Specifically, if the smart glasses determine that the user's posture is poor, they will display a message saying, "Please correct your posture."

[1623] Step 8:

[1624] Providing postural feedback

[1625] If it determines that posture has deteriorated, the device will notify the user to "correct their posture." The notification is displayed as a visual message on the display and, in some cases, an audio alert. The input is the result of analyzing the sensor data, and the output is a visual and audio notification. Specifically, the smart glasses will notify the user to "correct their posture."

[1626] Step 9:

[1627] Capturing emotions

[1628] The smart glasses' built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions. The facial expression data is analyzed by the device's emotion engine. The input is facial expression data, and the output is the analysis results. Specifically, the smart glasses capture the user's facial expressions with the camera, and the message "Analyzing emotional state" is displayed.

[1629] Step 10:

[1630] Emotion analysis and response

[1631] The emotion engine analyzes the facial expression data and determines the user's emotional state. The analysis results are sent to the server, which then generates appropriate information based on the user's emotional state and sends it to the smart glasses. The input is the analysis results of the facial expression data, and the output is appropriate feedback information. Specifically, the smart glasses notify the user, "Stress has been detected. Relaxing music will be played," and then play music.

[1632] (Application example 2)

[1633] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1634] Conventional information distribution systems using smart glasses were limited to providing information based on the user's location information or voice commands. As a result, they were unable to take into account the user's emotional state and were insufficiently effective in reducing mental stress. Furthermore, in the field of security services, there is a demand for systems that can monitor the surrounding situation in real time and respond quickly, but this demand has not been fully met by conventional technology.

[1635] 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.

[1636] In this invention, the server includes means for providing information based on the user's location information, means for updating information based on the user's voice commands, and means for capturing the user's facial expressions using a built-in camera and analyzing them with an emotion engine to adjust notifications and information based on the user's emotional state. This enables appropriate feedback according to the user's emotional state, reduces mental stress, and enables quick and appropriate responses in the field of security services.

[1637] "Smart glasses" are a type of wearable device, a pair of glasses equipped with a display, camera, and sensors.

[1638] "Location information" refers to the user's current geographical location, and is data primarily obtained using GPS.

[1639] A "voice recognition module" is a piece of software or hardware that analyzes a user's voice commands, converts them into text data, and enables system operation.

[1640] A "posture sensor" is a sensor fusion device that includes a gyro sensor and an accelerometer, and is used to detect the tilt and movement of the user's body and monitor their posture.

[1641] The "built-in camera" is a camera built into smart glasses, a device that has the function of capturing the user's facial expressions and the surrounding environment.

[1642] The "emotion engine" is an analytics engine that analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice data to estimate their emotional state in real time.

[1643] "Notifications" refer to alerts or information directed to the user, which are communicated through the smart glasses' display or audio output.

[1644] "Feedback" refers to the response that the system gives to the user, and is information provided through audio or visual displays.

[1645] This invention realizes a wearable smart glasses-type system for security services that obtains a user's location information, voice commands, posture, and emotional state in real time and provides feedback based on this information.

[1791] Example 1

[1792] 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."

[1793] In recent years, users have been seeking quick and easy access to information they need in their daily lives and work, while also reducing physical stress. Conventional information provision systems and devices require users to operate them manually, resulting in low convenience and making it difficult to obtain information and manage body posture, especially while on the move. Furthermore, voice control is insufficient, and feedback to users is limited. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can provide appropriate information based on the user's location information and perform advanced voice control and posture management.

[1794] 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.

[1795] In this invention, the server includes: means for acquiring user location information using a wearable device worn by the user and providing information based on the location information; means for acquiring user voice commands using a voice recognition module and updating information based on the voice commands; means for monitoring the user's posture using a sensor and notifying the user of posture abnormalities; means for the server to receive the location information, analyze related information, and transmit the information to the wearable device; means for the wearable device to provide information using a display and provide feedback using voice output; and means for providing the user with necessary information and reducing physical stress by analyzing prompt sentences and providing appropriate information. This allows the user to quickly and easily obtain necessary information even while on the move, and enables advanced voice operation and posture management, thereby improving user convenience and health management.

[1796] A "wearable device" is an electronic device that is worn by the user and includes devices such as smart glasses and smart watches.

[1797] "Location information" is data indicating a user's current geographic location obtained using GPS or other location-determining means.

[1798] "Means for providing information" refers to a system configuration in which the wearable device has the function of displaying or notifying the user of relevant information based on the user's location information.

[1799] A "voice recognition module" is an electronic circuit or software program that captures the user's voice, analyzes it, and converts it into text data.

[1800] A "voice command" is a voice-based operation instruction, including verbal instructions or questions, that a user issues to a wearable device.

[1801] A "sensor" is a device for detecting the state of the user's body or the environment, and includes a gyro sensor, an accelerometer, and the like.

[1802] The "posture monitoring means" is a system configuration that uses sensors to detect the user's posture and movements and monitors changes and abnormalities in posture.

[1803] A "display" is a screen installed on a wearable device that displays visual information to the user.

[1804] "Audio output" is a function for providing information to the user by voice using a speaker or other audio playback device.

[1805] A "generative AI model" is an algorithm or program that uses artificial intelligence to analyze prompts and generate useful information for users.

[1806] A "prompt" is text data that is input into a generative AI model, and is the sentence or instruction that serves as the basis for generating relevant information through analysis.

[1810] Information Acquisition and Distribution

[1811] When a user moves into a specific area, the terminal (wearable device) acquires the user's current location using the built-in GPS. The acquired location information is sent to a server, which analyzes relevant information based on the location information. The server then sends the analysis results back to the terminal, which then provides the information to the user. For example, when a user enters a shopping mall, information such as "Today's Sale: 20% off all items" is displayed on the wearable device's display. Audio output is also possible.

[1812] Voice control

[1813] A user can issue a voice command to the wearable device. For example, "Tell me the latest offers." The device's built-in microphone captures this voice and sends the voice data to the server. The server uses a generative AI model to analyze the voice data and derive appropriate information. This information is then sent back to the device and presented to the user. Specifically, it displays "Today's special offer: All shoes 50% off."

[1814] Posture correction feedback

[1815] The terminal (wearable device) is equipped with a gyro sensor and an accelerometer, which constantly monitor the user's posture.

[1993] Voice control

[1994] Users can issue voice commands to the smart glasses. For example, if they say, "Tell me the latest offers," the built-in microphone in the device (smart glasses) captures the voice, which is then analyzed by the voice recognition module. The analysis results are sent to the server, which provides appropriate information based on the command. The analyzed information is then returned to the device (smart glasses) and displayed, for example, "Today's special offer: All shoes 50% off."

[1995] Posture correction feedback

[1996] The device (smart glasses) is equipped with sensors (gyro sensor and accelerometer) to monitor the user's posture. This allows the device to constantly monitor the user's current posture. If the device determines that the user's posture has deteriorated, it will notify the user to "correct their posture." This notification is not only displayed visually, but in some cases is also provided as audio.

[1997] emotion recognition

[1998] Smart glasses are equipped with a built-in camera that can capture the user's facial expressions. The captured facial expression data is sent to the emotion engine in the device (smart glasses). The emotion engine analyzes this data and understands the user's emotional state.

[1999] Emotion-based information provision

[2000] The device (smart glasses) sends the analysis results to a server. The server then adjusts the relevant information based on the user's emotional state and sends it to the smart glasses.

[2076] Step 3:

[2077] The device (smart glasses) sends the analysis results to the server in real time.

[2078] Emotion-based information provision

[2079] Step 1:

[2080] The server adjusts relevant information based on the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it recommends relaxing content (e.g., natural scenery, relaxation music).

[2081] Step 2:

[2082] The server sends relevant information to the smart glasses.

[2083] Step 3:

[2084] The device (smart glasses) displays or notifies the user of the received information. For example, if the user is excited, the device will provide a voice prompt saying, "Take a deep breath."

[2085] Specific operation examples

[2086] Initial Setup

[2087] User "Sato" puts on the smart glasses and pairs them with his smartphone.

[2088] python

[2089] setup_device("sato")

[2090] Output: "Ready"

[2091] Information Acquisition and Distribution

[2092] When Sato enters a shopping mall, the smart glasses detect his location and retrieve relevant store information from the server and display it.

[2093] python

[2094] location = "shopping_mall"

[2095] info = fetch_information(location)

[2096] deliver_information_to_glasses("sato", info)

[2097] Example output: "Welcome to the shopping mall. Specials today: 20% off electronics."

[2098] Voice control

[2099] If Sato wants to know information about a specific store, he can issue a voice command such as, "Tell me the latest offers."

[2100] python

[2101] process_voice_command("sato", "Tell me the latest offers")

[2102] Example output: "Today's special offer: 50% off on all footwear."

[2103] Posture correction feedback

[2104] If Sato's posture worsens, the smart glasses will provide feedback.

[2105] python

[2106] monitor_posture("sato")

[2107] Output (example): "Please correct your posture"

[2108] Emotion Recognition and Feedback

[2109] If the emotion engine determines that Sato is stressed, the server will provide appropriate solutions, such as playing relaxing music.

[2110] python

[2111] analyze_emotion_and_respond("sato")

[2112] Output (example): "Playing relaxing music to help improve your mood."

[2113] In this way, the present invention, which combines an emotion engine, provides a convenient and stress-free information acquisition environment for the user, and also enables appropriate feedback according to the user's emotional state.

[2114] Example 2

[2115] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[2116] Conventional wearable information distribution systems can only provide simple location information and voice command operation, and cannot respond to complex conditions such as the user's emotional state or poor posture, which can lead to stressful usage environments for users. Another problem is that the physical strain on the user is not reduced due to inadequate feedback.

[2117] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[2118] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring user location information using smart glasses and providing information based on the location information, means for acquiring user voice commands using a voice recognition module and updating information based on the voice commands, means for monitoring the user's posture using a posture sensor and notifying the user of posture abnormalities, and means for analyzing the user's emotional state in real time using an emotion engine and adjusting display and notification content based on the results. This allows the user to acquire and operate information appropriately without feeling stressed, and by providing feedback according to posture and emotional state, it is possible to reduce physical and mental strain.

[2119] "Smart glasses" are wearable devices that can be worn by users and have built-in displays, sensors, cameras, etc., and are capable of displaying and acquiring information.

[2120] "Location Information" refers to the geographic location of a user's current location, and is data obtained using GPS sensors or other location-determining technologies.

[2121] A "voice recognition module" is a software or hardware feature that captures voice commands spoken by a user, analyzes them, and converts them into a form that a computer can understand.

[2122] A "posture sensor" is a sensor used to monitor the posture and movement of a user's body, and includes a gyro sensor and an accelerometer.

[2123] An "emotion engine" is a software or hardware function that analyzes data such as a user's facial expressions and voice, and determines their emotional state in real time.

[2124] "Display content" refers to all information such as text, images, and videos displayed on the smart glasses screen.

[2125] The "notification content" is the content that visually or audibly conveys information such as feedback or alerts to the user.

[2126] "Real-time" refers to data acquisition and analysis occurring in the present moment with little or no delay.

[2127] This invention is a wearable information distribution system that uses smart glasses to provide users with necessary information and reduce physical stress. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine that analyzes the user's emotional state in real time and adds the ability to adjust display and notification content based on the results.

[2128] Initial Setup

[2129] First, the user puts on the smart glasses and pairs them with their smartphone. This setup is done through a smartphone app, where the user configures basic settings such as Wi-Fi connection, location sharing consent, and notification settings. Once the setup is complete, the device (smart glasses) displays a notification to the user that they are ready.

[2130] Information Acquisition and Distribution

[2131] When a user moves to a specific area, the device (smart glasses) acquires location information using GPS. The server receives this location information and analyzes the relevant information. The analyzed information is sent to the device (smart glasses) and provided to the user. For example, when a user enters a shopping mall, information such as "Today's Sale: 20% off all items" is displayed on the smart glasses display.

[2132] Voice control

[2133] Users can issue voice commands to the smart glasses. For example, if they say, "Tell me the latest offers," the built-in microphone in the device (smart glasses) captures the voice, which is then analyzed by the voice recognition module. The analysis results are sent to the server, which provides appropriate information based on the command. The analyzed information is then returned to the device (smart glasses) and displayed, for example, "Today's special offer: All shoes 50% off."

[2134] Posture correction feedback

[2135] The device (smart glasses) is equipped with sensors (gyro sensor and accelerometer) to monitor the user's posture. This allows the device to constantly monitor the user's current posture. If the device determines that the user's posture has deteriorated, it will notify the user to "correct their posture." This notification is not only displayed visually, but in some cases is also provided as audio.

[2136] emotion recognition

[2137] Smart glasses are equipped with a built-in camera that can capture the user's facial expressions. The captured facial expression data is sent to the emotion engine in the device (smart glasses). The emotion engine analyzes this data and understands the user's emotional state.

[2138] Emotion-based information provision

[2139] The device (smart glasses) sends the analysis results to a server. The server then adjusts the relevant information based on the user's emotional state and sends it to the smart glasses. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it will provide relaxing music or scenery information. If the user is excited, it will display a guide to calm down or a notification encouraging deep breathing.

[2140] Specific operation examples

[2141] Initial Setup

[2142] The user wears the smart glasses and pairs them with their smartphone.

[2143] example:

[2144] "Smartglasses setup"

[2145] Information Acquisition and Distribution

[2146] When a user enters a shopping mall, the smart glasses detect the user's location and retrieve relevant store information from the server and display it.

[2147] example:

[2148] "Information distribution at shopping malls"

[2149] Voice control

[2150] The user issues the voice command "Tell me the latest offers."

[2151] example:

[2152] "Using voice commands"

[2153] Posture correction feedback

[2154] If the user's posture deteriorates, the smart glasses will provide feedback.

[2155] example:

[2156] Posture correction feedback

[2157] Emotion Recognition and Feedback

[2158] If the emotion engine determines that the user is under stress, the server will provide appropriate measures to deal with the situation.

[2159] example:

[2160] "Emotion Recognition and Feedback"

[2161] In this way, the present invention, which combines an emotion engine, provides a convenient and stress-free information acquisition environment for the user, and also enables appropriate feedback according to the user's emotional state.

[2162] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[2163] Step 1:

[2164] Initial Setup

[2165] The user puts on the smart glasses and launches the smartphone app. The smartphone app detects the smart glasses and pairs them via Bluetooth. The input is the user's pairing operation, and the output is a notification that pairing is complete. Specifically, the user allows the Bluetooth connection on the smartphone screen, and once pairing is complete, the smart glasses display "Ready."

[2166] Step 2:

[2167] Basic settings

[2168] The user configures basic settings such as Wi-Fi settings, consent to location sharing, and notification settings on the smartphone app. The smartphone then sends the settings to the device (smart glasses). The input is the basic setting operation, and the output is a notification that the settings are complete. Specifically, the user enters the settings on the smartphone app screen, and the message "Settings complete" is displayed.

[2169] Step 3:

[2170] Obtaining location information

[2171] When a user moves into a specific area, the smart glasses use the built-in GPS sensor to obtain their current location. The device then transmits this location information to the server in real time. The input is the current location information, and the output is a notification that transmission to the server has been completed. Specifically, the smart glasses automatically capture the location information and display the message "Sending location information."

[2172] Step 4:

[2173] Information analysis and distribution

[2174] The server analyzes the location information it receives and generates appropriate information (e.g., information about nearby stores or special offers). The analyzed information is then sent back to the smart glasses and displayed on the user's screen. The input is location information, and the output is the analyzed information. Specifically, the server analyzes the location information, generates matching data, and displays the "analyzed information" on the smart glasses.

[2175] Step 5:

[2176] Speak voice commands

[2177] The user issues a voice command to the smart glasses (e.g., "Tell me the latest offers"). The smart glasses' built-in microphone captures the voice. The input is the user's voice command, and the output is the captured voice data. Specifically, the user says "Tell me the latest offers," and the smart glasses capture the voice and send it to the server.

[2178] Step 6:

[2179] Voice analysis and information provision

[2180] The device analyzes the command using a voice recognition module. The analysis results are sent to the server, which then generates appropriate information based on the command and sends it to the smart glasses. The analysis results are then displayed to the user on the screen. The input is the captured voice data, and the output is the analyzed information. Specifically, the server analyzes the voice data into the "latest offers" and displays them on the smart glasses.

[2181] Step 7:

[2182] Posture monitoring

[2183] Smart glasses are equipped with gyro sensors and accelerometers to constantly monitor the user's posture. The device analyzes these sensor data and determines whether the user's posture has deteriorated. The input is sensor data, and the output is posture feedback. Specifically, if the smart glasses determine that the user's posture is poor, they will display a message saying, "Please correct your posture."

[2184] Step 8:

[2185] Providing postural feedback

[2186] If it determines that posture has deteriorated, the device will notify the user to "correct their posture." The notification is displayed as a visual message on the display and, in some cases, an audio alert. The input is the result of analyzing the sensor data, and the output is a visual and audio notification. Specifically, the smart glasses will notify the user to "correct their posture."

[2187] Step 9:

[2188] Capturing emotions

[2189] The smart glasses' built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions. The facial expression data is analyzed by the device's emotion engine. The input is facial expression data, and the output is the analysis results. Specifically, the smart glasses capture the user's facial expressions with the camera, and the message "Analyzing emotional state" is displayed.

[2190] Step 10:

[2191] Emotion analysis and response

[2192] The emotion engine analyzes the facial expression data and determines the user's emotional state. The analysis results are sent to the server, which then generates appropriate information based on the user's emotional state and sends it to the smart glasses. The input is the analysis results of the facial expression data, and the output is appropriate feedback information. Specifically, the smart glasses notify the user, "Stress has been detected. Relaxing music will be played," and then play music.

[2193] (Application example 2)

[2194] 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."

[2195] Conventional information distribution systems using smart glasses were limited to providing information based on the user's location information or voice commands. As a result, they were unable to take into account the user's emotional state and were insufficiently effective in reducing mental stress. Furthermore, in the field of security services, there is a demand for systems that can monitor the surrounding situation in real time and respond quickly, but this demand has not been fully met by conventional technology.

[2196] 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.

[2197] In this invention, the server includes means for providing information based on the user's location information, means for updating information based on the user's voice commands, and means for capturing the user's facial expressions using a built-in camera and analyzing them with an emotion engine to adjust notifications and information based on the user's emotional state. This enables appropriate feedback according to the user's emotional state, reduces mental stress, and enables quick and appropriate responses in the field of security services.

[2198] "Smart glasses" are a type of wearable device, a pair of glasses equipped with a display, camera, and sensors.

[2199] "Location information" refers to the user's current geographical location, and is data primarily obtained using GPS.

[2200] A "voice recognition module" is a piece of software or hardware that analyzes a user's voice commands, converts them into text data, and enables system operation.

[2201] A "posture sensor" is a sensor fusion device that includes a gyro sensor and an accelerometer, and is used to detect the tilt and movement of the user's body and monitor their posture.

[2202] The "built-in camera" is a camera built into smart glasses, a device that has the function of capturing the user's facial expressions and the surrounding environment.

[2203] The "emotion engine" is an analytics engine that analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice data to estimate their emotional state in real time.

[2204] "Notifications" refer to alerts or information directed to the user, which are communicated through the smart glasses' display or audio output.

[2205] "Feedback" refers to the response that the system gives to the user, and is information provided through audio or visual displays.

[2206] This invention realizes a wearable smart glasses-type system for security services that obtains a user's location information, voice commands, posture, and emotional state in real time and provides feedback based on this information. To implement this system, the following elements must be included:

[2207] 1. Hardware configuration:

[2208] Smart glasses: Includes a display, built-in camera, gyro sensor, accelerometer, and built-in microphone.

[2209] Server: Has the function of receiving the user's location information, analyzing the relevant information, and sending it to the smart glasses.

[2210] Smartphone: Used to pair with smart glasses for initial setup and communication.

[2211] 2. Software configuration:

[2212] Speech Recognition Module: Parses the user's voice commands and retrieves or updates the appropriate information.

[2213] Emotion engine: Analyzes the user's facial expressions captured by the built-in camera and estimates their emotional state.

[2214] Analysis engine: Analyzes relevant information based on location and emotion data on the server side.

[2215] 3. Data processing and calculation:

[2216] Location information acquisition: The smart glasses acquire the user's location information using the GPS sensor and send this data to the server.

[2217] Voice command analysis: The user speaks a voice command into the built-in microphone, which is then converted into text data by the voice recognition module. The server then analyzes the text data and sends the appropriate information to the smart glasses.

[2218] Posture monitoring: Uses gyro sensors and accelerometers to capture user posture data and provide feedback if an abnormality is detected.

[2219] Emotion analysis: The built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions, which are then analyzed by the emotion engine to estimate their emotional state. The server then uses this emotional data to tailor appropriate feedback and information.

[2220] 4. Example:

[2221] Initial Setup: A user puts on the smart glasses and pairs them with their smartphone. For example, "Sato" sets up the device and it's ready to go.

[2222] Information Acquisition and Distribution: When a user enters a shopping mall, the smart glasses detect their location and retrieve relevant store information from the server and display it. For example, they can display information such as "Welcome to the shopping mall. Today's special offer: 20% off all items."

[2223] Voice control: When a user issues a voice command such as "Tell me about dangerous areas," relevant safety information will be displayed on the smart glasses.

[2224] Posture correction feedback: Smart glasses monitor the user's posture and notify them to "correct their posture" if their posture deteriorates.

[2225] Emotion recognition and feedback: The built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions, and if the emotional state is determined to be "high stress," it provides feedback such as "take a break."

[2226] Example prompt sentence:

[2227] "Simulate how a user responds when approaching a dangerous area in a shopping mall, their posture worsens, and stress levels rise."

[2228] This configuration and operating procedure provides appropriate feedback according to the user's emotional state and surrounding circumstances, making it possible to improve security and reduce the user's mental stress.

[2229] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[2230] Step 1: Initial Setup

[2231] The user wears the smart glasses and pairs them with their smartphone.

[2232] Input: Smartglasses and smartphone pairing request

[2233] Data processing / calculation: The smartphone app performs pairing using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and sends initial settings (location information, notification settings, etc.) to the server.

[2234] Output: Device pairing complete and ready notification

[2235] Step 2: Obtaining and distributing location information

[2236] The smart glasses use GPS to acquire the user's location information and send it to the server. The server analyzes the relevant information based on the location information and sends it to the smart glasses.

[2237] Input: User's current location (GPS data)

[2238] Data processing / calculation: The server analyzes the location information and extracts relevant real-time information (e.g., dangerous areas, special offers, etc.).

[2239] Output: Display relevant information (e.g. "Welcome to the mall. Today's special: 20% off all items")

[2240] Step 3: Parsing voice commands

[2241] Users speak voice commands into the built-in microphone, and the smart glasses' voice recognition module converts the voice into text data, which is then sent to the server to retrieve the appropriate information.

[2242] Input: User's voice command (e.g., "Tell me about dangerous areas")

[2243] Data processing / calculation: The speech recognition module converts the speech into text data, and the server analyzes the text data to obtain relevant information.

[2244] Output: Display appropriate feedback (e.g. "Approaching a dangerous area")

[2245] Step 4: Posture monitoring

[2246] The smart glasses use gyro sensors and accelerometers to collect the user's posture data and notify the user if an abnormality is detected.

[2247] Input: User posture data

[2248] Data processing / calculation: Analyzes data obtained from the gyro sensor and accelerometer to determine whether the user's posture is abnormal.

[2249] Output: Notification when an abnormality is detected (e.g. "Please correct your posture")

[2250] Step 5: Analyze emotional state

[2251] The built-in camera captures the user's facial expressions, and the emotion engine analyzes the data to estimate their emotional state. The server then tailors the feedback and information based on this data.

[2252] Input: Facial expression data (camera capture)

[2253] Data processing / calculation: The emotion engine analyzes facial expression data and estimates the user's emotional state (e.g., stress level).

[2254] Output: Feedback based on emotional state (e.g., "Relax")

[2255] Step 6: Real-time feedback and adjustments

[2256] Based on the analytical data, the server generates appropriate feedback related to emotional state and location information and sends it to the smart glasses.

[2257] Input: Analysis results (location information, voice commands, posture data, emotional state)

[2258] Data processing / calculation: Based on comprehensive analysis on the server, optimal feedback and information is generated and sent to the smart glasses.

[2259] Output: Tailored information and notifications displayed in real time (e.g. "Relaxing music is playing")

[2260] Through these steps, users can receive seamless, real-time information and feedback.

[2261] 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.

[2262] 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.

[2263] 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.

[2264] 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.

[2265] 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.

[2266] 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.

[2267] 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).

[2268] 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.

[2269] 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."

[2270] 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.

[2271] The system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, but the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. The present disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program running on a personal computer or an application running on a smartphone, etc. The method according to the present disclosure may be provided to users in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).

[2272] 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.

[2273] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.

[2274] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[2275] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.

[2276] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: An example of a processor is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. Another example of a processor is a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.
