[0004] In the medical field, when faced with failed or difficult-to-treat cases, doctors often find it difficult to find appropriate solutions. Furthermore, patients and their families often lack access to information about similar situations, leaving them feeling isolated and anxious. Current medical literature and textbooks only contain successful cases, and there is insufficient information on specific countermeasures and treatment methods for failed cases. This raises the possibility of similar failures being repeated, making it difficult for both doctors and patients to receive treatment with peace of mind. To solve these problems, a system is needed that systematically collects and shares information about failed cases and provides useful information for both doctors and patients. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] This invention provides a system that uses generative AI to input information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases, and then receives, stores, and optimizes that information.

[0128] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting information about failed cases, a means for receiving the input information and storing it in an information storage device, a means for using a generative AI model to optimize the stored information, a means for receiving medical history and concerns from the user and searching for similar cases from the information storage device, a means for providing the search results to the user, and a means for connecting users in similar situations through chat. This makes it possible to collect, optimize, and provide highly reliable information. Users can also share information and receive psychological support.

[0129] A "failure case" is a medical case in which a treatment did not achieve the intended result.

[0130] "Information storage device" refers to equipment or systems for storing and managing data and information.

[0131] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that analyzes large amounts of data and generates an output that is optimal for a specific task.

[0132] "Medical history" refers to information that records a patient's past illnesses and treatment history.

[0133] "Worries" refer to health-related problems or anxieties that the user currently has.

[0134] A "similar case" is a case in which the current case and a past case share similarities.

[0135] "Chat" is a form of communication in which users exchange messages in real time.

[0136] "Matching" is the process of connecting users with similar circumstances and needs.

[0137] A "chat room" is a virtual space where specific users can converse and exchange information.

[0138] This invention is a system that collects information on failed or difficult-to-treat cases, optimizes and classifies it using a generative AI model, and provides it to users. This system promotes information sharing in medical settings and makes it easier for users to exchange information.

[0139] Hardware and software used

[0140] server

[0141] The server uses a common cloud computing platform (e.g., a cloud service provider's infrastructure).

[0142] MySQL is used for database management.

[0143] A large-scale language model is used as the generative AI model.

[0144] Terminal

[0145] A terminal is a device used by a user, such as a computer or smartphone, that provides an input interface.

[0146] The front end uses an interactive web application (e.g., a JavaScript framework) that runs in a web browser.

[0147] It uses Node.js for the backend.

[0148] Program processing explanation

[0149] Data collection

[0150] The user uses the terminal to input information about failed or difficult cases (such as progress, treatment, details, and how to explain the procedure to the family). The terminal converts this information into JSON format and sends it to the server via an HTTP POST request. The server analyzes the received data and stores it in a MySQL database.

[0159] The user enters details about a failed surgery last year into the terminal, including detailed information about the patient's infection outbreak and treatment protocol.

[0160] The device converts this data into JSON format and sends it to the server.

[0161] The server inputs this information into a generative AI model and searches a database for similar cases.

[0162] Treatment and prognosis information for similar cases, such as "cases where similar surgical failures have occurred in the past," will be provided to the terminal.

[0163] Example 2: When users share information through chat

[0164] The user agrees to use the chat function and enters consent information on the device.

[0165] The terminal sends the consent information to the server, and the server searches for users in similar situations.

[0166] The server creates a chat room for the matched users and notifies the terminal.

[0167] Users join chat rooms and share information about "experiences of failed surgery" and "how to explain to family members."

[0168] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0169] An example of a prompt that the user might enter is:

[0170] "Please provide details of any infections that occurred during the patient's surgical course. Upload any relevant documentation as needed."

[0171] This system allows reliable information to be collected and optimized in the medical field, and enables users to share information effectively with each other.

[0233] 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."

[0234] Conventional medical information systems do not adequately manage or share information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases, making it difficult for both doctors and patients to select effective treatments. Furthermore, there is a lack of information about treatment costs and optimal payment methods, which can place a heavy financial burden on patients. Furthermore, there are limited opportunities for patients in the same situation to share information, and psychological support is also insufficient.

[0235] 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.

[0236] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting information about failed cases, a means for receiving the input information and storing it in a database, a means for using a generating AI to optimize the stored information, a means for receiving the user's medical history and concerns and searching the database for similar cases, a means for providing the user with the search results, a means for users with similar circumstances to connect via chat, and a means for users to select the optimal payment plan based on the treatment content and costs. This allows doctors and patients to effectively share information, enabling more appropriate treatment options, and patients to reduce their financial burden by selecting the optimal payment plan. Furthermore, patients with similar circumstances can share information and receive psychological support.

[0246] "Financial burden" refers to the financial costs incurred by the user in relation to the cost of treatment.

[0247] System Overview

[0248] This invention is a system that integrates medical information management and the proposal of optimal payment plans. The system inputs, stores, optimizes, searches, and proposes information about failed cases, and then provides users with optimal payment plans based on that information. The system can use a smartphone application and operates in conjunction with a cloud-based server. Its main components include a database, a generative AI model, and a user interface.

[0249] Data collection and storage

[0250] Users enter detailed information about their failed cases through a smartphone app. This information includes the course of treatment, the treatment methods used, case details, and a breakdown of treatment costs. The entered information is sent to a server via the Internet and stored in a database. The input interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use during this process.

[0251] Data Optimization

[0252] The server periodically retrieves the information stored in the database and uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) to analyze, optimize, and classify the information. During this process, incomplete and duplicate data is removed and processed to produce accurate and useful information. The optimized data is then used for user searches and suggestions.

[0253] Case search and suggestions

[0254] When a user enters their current medical history and concerns into the app, that information is sent to the server, which then searches the database for similar cases and uses generative AI to suggest appropriate treatments, prognoses, and necessary explanations. This information is displayed intuitively to the user.

[0255] Payment plan proposal

[0256] Furthermore, when users input the details of treatment and costs, the AI ​​generator will use that information to suggest the optimal payment plan, which may include installment payments, loans, or changing insurance plans, allowing users to choose the plan that best suits their financial situation.

[0257] Chat feature

[0258] It also provides a chat function for users to share information and support each other. If a user agrees, the server searches the database for other users in the same situation, matches them, and creates a chat room. In the chat room, users can exchange experiences and advice about treatment.

[0259] Hardware and software used

[0260] The main hardware includes smartphones (iOS, Android), cloud-based servers (AWS, Google Cloud), and software using generative AI models (GPT-3) and database management systems (SQL, NoSQL).

[0261] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0262] Examples of prompts used in this system are as follows:

[0263] "If a patient undergoing diabetes treatment has an annual treatment cost of 500,000 yen, of which 70% is covered by insurance, how would generative AI optimize the payment plan?"

[0264] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0265] Step 1:

[0266] Users enter information about failed cases through a smartphone app, including the treatment progress, treatment methods used, case details, and a breakdown of treatment costs. The information is then sent to the device via an input interface.

[0267] Step 2:

[0268] The device formats the information it receives and sends it over the Internet to a server, which stores the data and performs an initial evaluation and validation check. Correct data is then stored in a database.

[0269] Step 3:

[0270] The server periodically retrieves the information stored in the database and optimizes the data using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3). Specifically, the generative AI removes incomplete and duplicate data and converts it into accurate and useful information. This is where the data is optimized.

[0271] Step 4:

[0272] The user enters their current medical history and concerns into a smartphone app. This information includes details of symptoms and past treatment history. The entered information is then sent back to the server via the device.

[0273] Step 5:

[0274] The server analyzes the received patient information and searches the database for similar cases. During this process, the generative AI searches for relevant data, including treatment, prognosis, and explanation methods, and extracts the optimal solution. The search results are then provided to the user in an optimized form.

[0275] Step 6:

[0276] When a user enters the details of treatment and costs into the smartphone app, the information is sent to a server. The server analyzes this information and uses generative AI to propose the optimal payment plan. Proposed plans include installment payments, loans, and changes to insurance plans.

[0277] Step 7:

[0278] The server generates payment plan proposals and provides them to the user via a smartphone app, who can then select the plan that best suits their financial situation.

[0279] Step 8:

[0280] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the device sends the consent information to the server, which then searches the database for other users with similar circumstances and matches them. A chat room is then created, allowing users to share information with other users.

[0281] Step 9:

[0282] In the chat room, users exchange experiences and advice about failed cases, which allows users to receive psychological support and deepen their knowledge about better treatments and payment methods.

[0283] 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.

[0284] This invention is an integrated system that combines an emotion engine with a system that collects information on failed and difficult-to-treat cases, optimizes and classifies it using generative AI, and provides it to users. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state, provides optimal information, and optimizes the interface, improving the user experience.

The server creates a chat room for the matched user, and the device notifies the user of the chat room information. The user joins the chat room and shares information with other users, and the emotion engine analyzes the conversation content in real time to provide appropriate support and advice.

[0420] Specific examples

[0421] Example 1: When a user enters information and searches for similar cases

[0422] The user enters details about their own failed surgery into the device. The emotion engine then recognizes the user's emotions from the input. The device then sends the information to the server, which then searches the database for similar cases. Emotional data is also taken into consideration, and appropriate information is provided preferentially. Search results provide details of follow-up treatments and prognoses for past cases of similar failed surgery.

[0423] Example 2: When users share information through chat

[0424] Users agree to use the chat function, and the server matches them with other users in the same situation. The server creates a chat room and notifies the user via their device.

[0506] A "brick and mortar store" is a physical store that sells health-related products.

[0507] In order to implement the present invention, it is important to link various hardware and software components. The specific configurations and operation methods of each component will be described below.

[0508] Enter and submit information

[0509] Users use devices such as smartphones or tablets to input information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases (e.g., progression of symptoms, treatment, case details, how to explain to family members, etc.). The input interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The input information is sent from the device to the server.

[0510] Receiving and storing information

[0511] The server stores the received information in a database in an appropriate format, with some initial evaluation and consistency checks to ensure the information is consistent and accurate. This process is carried out using a database management system (DBMS).

[0512] emotion recognition

[0513] The server recognizes emotions in real time from the content and actions the user inputs into the device. This emotion recognition uses natural language processing and image analysis technologies. Specifically, it uses the Hugging Face transformers library to analyze emotions from the user's input text. This emotional data is used to provide subsequent information and optimize the interface.

[0514] Information optimization and classification

[0515] The server analyzes and optimizes all stored data using a generative AI model. Specifically, it combines natural language processing and topic modeling (e.g., using TfidfVectorizer and NMF) to classify and organize the input information. The optimized data is then re-stored in the database.

[0516] Search and Information

[0517] When a user enters their medical history and concerns into their device, the information is sent to the server. The server uses this information to search for similar cases in its database. The search results, including information on the case's treatment, prognosis, and explanation method, are provided to the user's device from the server.

[0518] Chat feature

[0519] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the server searches the database for other users in the same situation and matches them. The server then creates a chat room so that matched users can share information through chat. Within this chat room, an emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions and provides appropriate support and advice.

[0520] Use in physical stores

[0521] In physical stores, patients and medical staff can collect and share case information using smartphones or tablets. For example, pharmacies and medical equipment stores can provide advice and product information based on past treatment failures or difficult cases. An emotion engine can also simultaneously provide information to reduce users' stress and anxiety.

[0522] Examples of concrete examples and prompts

[0523] A concrete example is a smartphone application for pharmacies. When a patient purchases medicine at the pharmacy, the application searches for information on past treatment failures or difficult cases and provides the most appropriate advice and product information. In addition, an emotion engine detects the patient's anxiety or stress and provides encouraging messages and self-care information.

[0524] Example prompt sentence:

[0525] "I would like to gather detailed information about a recent treatment failure for patient XYZ and recommend the best course of action to remedy this."

[0526] In this way, the present invention can provide optimal information and support according to the user's emotional state, improving the quality of medical services in physical stores.

[0527] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0528] Step 1:

[0543] Input and Output:

[0544] Input: Formatted information

[0545] Output: Information stored in the database

[0546] Step 4:

[0547] emotion recognition

[0548] The server analyzes the input and actions of the user on the device and performs emotion recognition. This emotion recognition uses the Hugging Face transformers library for text analysis. The recognized emotion data is stored in a database.

[0549] Input and Output:

[0550] Input: User-entered text and action data

[0551] Output: Analyzed sentiment data

[0552] Step 5:

[0553] Information optimization and classification

[0554] The server analyzes the information stored in the database using a generative AI model to optimize and classify the information. Topic modeling using TfidfVectorizer and NMF is performed here. The optimized data is then stored back in the database.

[0555] Input and Output:

[0556] Input: Information stored in a database

[0557] Output: Optimized information data

[0558] Step 6:

[0559] Search and Information

[0560] When a user inputs their medical history and concerns into their device, the information is sent to the server. The server uses this information to search for similar cases in the database and selects the most appropriate information. The selected information is then provided to the user's device from the server.

[0561] Input and Output:

[0562] Input: User-entered medical history and problem information

[0563] Output: Information on similar cases is provided to the user's device.

[0564] Step 7:

[0565] Chat feature

[0566] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the server searches for other users in the same situation and matches them. The server then creates a chat room so that matched users can exchange information through chat. Within the chat room, an emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions and provides appropriate support and advice.

[0567] Input and Output:

[0568] Input: User information that you have agreed to use

[0569] Output: Matched chat room information

[0570] Step 8:

[0571] Use in physical stores

[0572] In physical stores, patients and medical staff can use smartphones and tablets to collect and share case information. For example, advice and product information based on past treatment failures or difficult cases can be provided. An emotion engine also provides information to reduce users' stress and anxiety.

[0573] Input and Output:

[0574] Input: Case information and emotion data

[0575] Output: In-store advice and product information

[0576] This allows the system to provide optimal information and support according to the user's emotional state, improving the quality of medical services in physical stores.

[0786] (Application example 1)

[0787] 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."

[0788] Conventional medical information systems do not adequately manage or share information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases, making it difficult for both doctors and patients to select effective treatments. Furthermore, there is a lack of information about treatment costs and optimal payment methods, which can place a heavy financial burden on patients. Furthermore, there are limited opportunities for patients in the same situation to share information, and psychological support is also insufficient.

[0789] 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.

[0790] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting information about failed cases, a means for receiving the input information and storing it in a database, a means for using a generating AI to optimize the stored information, a means for receiving the user's medical history and concerns and searching the database for similar cases, a means for providing the user with the search results, a means for users with similar circumstances to connect via chat, and a means for users to select the optimal payment plan based on the treatment content and costs. This allows doctors and patients to effectively share information, enabling more appropriate treatment options, and patients to reduce their financial burden by selecting the optimal payment plan. Furthermore, patients with similar circumstances can share information and receive psychological support.

[0800] "Financial burden" refers to the financial costs incurred by the user in relation to the cost of treatment.

[0801] System Overview

[0802] This invention is a system that integrates medical information management and the proposal of optimal payment plans. The system inputs, stores, optimizes, searches, and proposes information about failed cases, and then provides users with optimal payment plans based on that information. The system can use a smartphone application and operates in conjunction with a cloud-based server. Its main components include a database, a generative AI model, and a user interface.

[0803] Data collection and storage

[0804] Users enter detailed information about their failed cases through a smartphone app. This information includes the course of treatment, the treatment methods used, case details, and a breakdown of treatment costs. The entered information is sent to a server via the Internet and stored in a database. The input interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use during this process.

[0805] Data Optimization

[0806] The server periodically retrieves the information stored in the database and uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) to analyze, optimize, and classify the information. During this process, incomplete and duplicate data is removed and processed to produce accurate and useful information. The optimized data is then used for user searches and suggestions.

[0807] Case search and suggestions

[0808] When a user enters their current medical history and concerns into the app, that information is sent to the server, which then searches the database for similar cases and uses generative AI to suggest appropriate treatments, prognoses, and necessary explanations. This information is displayed intuitively to the user.

[0809] Payment plan proposal

[0810] Furthermore, when users input the details of treatment and costs, the AI ​​generator will use that information to suggest the optimal payment plan, which may include installment payments, loans, or changing insurance plans, allowing users to choose the plan that best suits their financial situation.

[0811] Chat feature

[0812] It also provides a chat function for users to share information and support each other. If a user agrees, the server searches the database for other users in the same situation, matches them, and creates a chat room. In the chat room, users can exchange experiences and advice about treatment.

[0813] Hardware and software used

[0814] The main hardware includes smartphones (iOS, Android), cloud-based servers (AWS, Google Cloud), and software using generative AI models (GPT-3) and database management systems (SQL, NoSQL).

[0815] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0816] Examples of prompts used in this system are as follows:

[0817] "If a patient undergoing diabetes treatment has an annual treatment cost of 500,000 yen, of which 70% is covered by insurance, how would generative AI optimize the payment plan?"

[0818] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0819] Step 1:

[0820] Users enter information about failed cases through a smartphone app, including the treatment progress, treatment methods used, case details, and a breakdown of treatment costs. The information is then sent to the device via an input interface.

[0821] Step 2:

[0822] The device formats the information it receives and sends it over the Internet to a server, which stores the data and performs an initial evaluation and validation check. Correct data is then stored in a database.

[0823] Step 3:

[0824] The server periodically retrieves the information stored in the database and optimizes the data using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3). Specifically, the generative AI removes incomplete and duplicate data and converts it into accurate and useful information. This is where the data is optimized.

[0825] Step 4:

[0826] The user enters their current medical history and concerns into a smartphone app. This information includes details of symptoms and past treatment history. The entered information is then sent back to the server via the device.

[0827] Step 5:

[0828] The server analyzes the received patient information and searches the database for similar cases. During this process, the generative AI searches for relevant data, including treatment, prognosis, and explanation methods, and extracts the optimal solution. The search results are then provided to the user in an optimized form.

[0829] Step 6:

[0830] When a user enters the details of treatment and costs into the smartphone app, the information is sent to a server. The server analyzes this information and uses generative AI to propose the optimal payment plan. Proposed plans include installment payments, loans, and changes to insurance plans.

[0831] Step 7:

[0832] The server generates payment plan proposals and provides them to the user via a smartphone app, who can then select the plan that best suits their financial situation.

[0833] Step 8:

[0834] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the device sends the consent information to the server, which then searches the database for other users with similar circumstances and matches them. A chat room is then created, allowing users to share information with other users.

[0835] Step 9:

[0836] In the chat room, users exchange experiences and advice about failed cases, which allows users to receive psychological support and deepen their knowledge about better treatments and payment methods.

[0837] 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.

[0838] This invention is an integrated system that combines an emotion engine with a system that collects information on failed and difficult-to-treat cases, optimizes and classifies it using generative AI, and provides it to users. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state, provides optimal information, and optimizes the interface, improving the user experience.

Specifically, it is composed of the following modules: a data collection module, an emotion engine, an interface optimization module, a database construction module, a case search module, and a chat function module.

[0962] Data Collection Module

[0963] A user uses a terminal to input information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases. The input interface should be designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The terminal formats the input information and sends it to a server via the internet. The server receives the transmitted information and stores it in an appropriate database. When storing the information, an initial evaluation and check is performed to ensure consistency and accuracy. A database management system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) is used for this process.

[0964] Emotion Engine

[0965] The server recognizes emotions in real time from the user's input and actions. This emotion recognition uses natural language processing technology (e.g., the BERT model) and image analysis technology (e.g., OpenCV, TensorFlow). The recognized emotion data is stored in a database and used for subsequent information provision and interface optimization.

[0966] Interface Optimization Module

[0967] The server searches for and provides the most appropriate information depending on the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is highly stressed, it will prioritize displaying encouraging words and success stories. The device then displays this information to the user in an appropriate format that is easy for the user to view and understand. This process uses information search technology (e.g., Elasticsearch).

[0968] Database construction module

[0969] The server periodically retrieves all data stored in the database and analyzes and classifies it using a generation AI (e.g., GPT-3, BERT). The generation AI removes incomplete and duplicate data and processes it to make it more accurate and useful information, and the optimized data is then stored back in the database.

[0970] Case Search Module

[0971] The user inputs their current medical history and concerns into the device. The input information is sent to the server, which analyzes the received information and searches for similar cases in the database. This process uses machine learning algorithms (e.g., k-NN, SVM). The server generates search results and sends them to the device, which then displays them to the user.

[0972] Chat Function Module

[0973] The user agrees to use the chat function and sends the consent information from the device to the server. The server uses the consent information to search for users in the same situation in its database and matches them. The server creates a chat room for the matched user, and the device notifies the user of the chat room information. The user joins the chat room and shares information with other users, and the emotion engine analyzes the conversation content in real time to provide appropriate support and advice.

[0974] Specific examples

[0975] Example 1: When a user enters information and searches for similar cases

[0976] The user enters details about their own failed surgery into the device. The emotion engine then recognizes the user's emotions from the input. The device then sends the information to the server, which then searches the database for similar cases. Emotional data is also taken into consideration, and appropriate information is provided preferentially. Search results provide details of follow-up treatments and prognoses for past cases of similar failed surgery.

[0977] Example 2: When users share information through chat

[0978] Users agree to use the chat function, and the server matches them with other users in the same situation. The server creates a chat room and notifies the user via their device. The user joins the chat room and shares information with other users. The emotion engine analyzes the content of the conversation and provides appropriate support and advice.

[0979] This system provides optimal information and support according to the user's psychological needs, creating an environment in which both doctors and patients can proceed with treatment with peace of mind.

[1031] Users agree to use the chat function, and the server matches users with similar circumstances based on the consent information.

[1032] Input: consent information

[1033] Output: Chat partner matching information

[1034] Specific operation: The server records the consent information in a database and uses similarity calculations (e.g., Jaccard coefficient) to match users with the same concerns or symptoms.

[1035] Step 12: Create and notify chat rooms

[1036] The server creates a chat room for the matched user, and the terminal sends a notification to the user to join the chat room.

[1037] Input: Matching information

[1038] Output: Generated chat room information

[1039] Specific operation: The server creates a chat room and sends the information to the device. The user is notified and can join the chat room.

[1040] Step 13: Chat sentiment analysis and support

[1041] The server uses an emotion engine in the chat room to analyze the user's emotions in real time and provide appropriate support.

[1042] Input: Chat content

[1043] Output: Sentiment analysis results and supporting information

[1044] Specific operation: The server analyzes chat content, generates emotional data, and provides appropriate advice and support information based on the analysis results.

[1045] (Application example 2)

[1046] 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."

[1047] Conventional medical information systems lack the ability to collect and analyze information on failed or difficult-to-treat cases, and are often unable to provide optimal information tailored to the user's emotional state. Furthermore, there are issues with utilizing information in physical stores that sell health-related products, making it difficult to receive effective support.

[1048] 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.

[1049] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting information about failed cases, a means for receiving the input information and storing it in a database, a means for using a generation AI to optimize the stored information, a means for receiving the medical history and concerns from the user and searching for similar cases from the database, a means for providing the search results to the user, a means for connecting users with similar circumstances through chat, a means for performing emotion recognition and providing information according to the user's emotional state, and a means for use in physical stores that handle health-related products.

[1060] A "brick and mortar store" is a physical store that sells health-related products.

[1061] In order to implement the present invention, it is important to link various hardware and software components. The specific configurations and operation methods of each component will be described below.

[1062] Enter and submit information

[1063] Users use devices such as smartphones or tablets to input information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases (e.g., progression of symptoms, treatment, case details, how to explain to family members, etc.). The input interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The input information is sent from the device to the server.

[1064] Receiving and storing information

[1065] The server stores the received information in a database in an appropriate format, with some initial evaluation and consistency checks to ensure the information is consistent and accurate. This process is carried out using a database management system (DBMS).

[1066] emotion recognition

[1067] The server recognizes emotions in real time from the content and actions the user inputs into the device. This emotion recognition uses natural language processing and image analysis technologies. Specifically, it uses the Hugging Face transformers library to analyze emotions from the user's input text. This emotional data is used to provide subsequent information and optimize the interface.

[1068] Information optimization and classification

[1069] The server analyzes and optimizes all stored data using a generative AI model. Specifically, it combines natural language processing and topic modeling (e.g., using TfidfVectorizer and NMF) to classify and organize the input information. The optimized data is then re-stored in the database.

[1070] Search and Information

[1071] When a user enters their medical history and concerns into their device, the information is sent to the server. The server uses this information to search for similar cases in its database. The search results, including information on the case's treatment, prognosis, and explanation method, are provided to the user's device from the server.

[1072] Chat feature

[1073] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the server searches the database for other users in the same situation and matches them. The server then creates a chat room so that matched users can share information through chat. Within this chat room, an emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions and provides appropriate support and advice.

[1074] Use in physical stores

[1075] In physical stores, patients and medical staff can collect and share case information using smartphones or tablets. For example, pharmacies and medical equipment stores can provide advice and product information based on past treatment failures or difficult cases. An emotion engine can also simultaneously provide information to reduce users' stress and anxiety.

[1076] Examples of concrete examples and prompts

[1077] A concrete example is a smartphone application for pharmacies. When a patient purchases medicine at the pharmacy, the application searches for information on past treatment failures or difficult cases and provides the most appropriate advice and product information. In addition, an emotion engine detects the patient's anxiety or stress and provides encouraging messages and self-care information.

[1078] Example prompt sentence:

[1079] "I would like to gather detailed information about a recent treatment failure for patient XYZ and recommend the best course of action to remedy this."

[1080] In this way, the present invention can provide optimal information and support according to the user's emotional state, improving the quality of medical services in physical stores.

[1081] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1082] Step 1:

[1083] Entering information

[1084] Users use the input interface on their smartphone or tablet to input information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases, such as the progression of symptoms, treatment, case details, and how to explain the case to family members. This information is then stored on the device.

[1097] Input and Output:

[1098] Input: Formatted information

[1099] Output: Information stored in the database

[1100] Step 4:

[1101] emotion recognition

[1102] The server analyzes the input and actions of the user on the device and performs emotion recognition. This emotion recognition uses the Hugging Face transformers library for text analysis. The recognized emotion data is stored in a database.

[1103] Input and Output:

[1104] Input: User-entered text and action data

[1105] Output: Analyzed sentiment data

[1106] Step 5:

[1107] Information optimization and classification

[1108] The server analyzes the information stored in the database using a generative AI model to optimize and classify the information. Topic modeling using TfidfVectorizer and NMF is performed here. The optimized data is then stored back in the database.

[1109] Input and Output:

[1110] Input: Information stored in a database

[1111] Output: Optimized information data

[1112] Step 6:

[1113] Search and Information

[1114] When a user inputs their medical history and concerns into their device, the information is sent to the server. The server uses this information to search for similar cases in the database and selects the most appropriate information. The selected information is then provided to the user's device from the server.

[1115] Input and Output:

[1116] Input: User-entered medical history and problem information

[1117] Output: Information on similar cases is provided to the user's device.

[1118] Step 7:

[1119] Chat feature

[1120] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the server searches for other users in the same situation and matches them. The server then creates a chat room so that matched users can exchange information through chat. Within the chat room, an emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions and provides appropriate support and advice.

[1121] Input and Output:

[1122] Input: User information that you have agreed to use

[1123] Output: Matched chat room information

[1124] Step 8:

[1125] Use in physical stores

[1126] In physical stores, patients and medical staff can use smartphones and tablets to collect and share case information. For example, advice and product information based on past treatment failures or difficult cases can be provided. An emotion engine also provides information to reduce users' stress and anxiety.

[1127] Input and Output:

[1128] Input: Case information and emotion data

[1129] Output: In-store advice and product information

[1130] This allows the system to provide optimal information and support according to the user's emotional state, improving the quality of medical services in physical stores.

[1340] (Application example 1)

[1341] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1342] Conventional medical information systems do not adequately manage or share information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases, making it difficult for both doctors and patients to select effective treatments. Furthermore, there is a lack of information about treatment costs and optimal payment methods, which can place a heavy financial burden on patients. Furthermore, there are limited opportunities for patients in the same situation to share information, and psychological support is also insufficient.

[1343] 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.

[1344] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting information about failed cases, a means for receiving the input information and storing it in a database, a means for using a generating AI to optimize the stored information, a means for receiving the user's medical history and concerns and searching the database for similar cases, a means for providing the user with the search results, a means for users with similar circumstances to connect via chat, and a means for users to select the optimal payment plan based on the treatment content and costs. This allows doctors and patients to effectively share information, enabling more appropriate treatment options, and patients to reduce their financial burden by selecting the optimal payment plan. Furthermore, patients with similar circumstances can share information and receive psychological support.

[1354] "Financial burden" refers to the financial costs incurred by the user in relation to the cost of treatment.

[1355] System Overview

[1356] This invention is a system that integrates medical information management and the proposal of optimal payment plans. The system inputs, stores, optimizes, searches, and proposes information about failed cases, and then provides users with optimal payment plans based on that information. The system can use a smartphone application and operates in conjunction with a cloud-based server. Its main components include a database, a generative AI model, and a user interface.

[1357] Data collection and storage

[1358] Users enter detailed information about their failed cases through a smartphone app. This information includes the course of treatment, the treatment methods used, case details, and a breakdown of treatment costs. The entered information is sent to a server via the Internet and stored in a database. The input interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use during this process.

[1359] Data Optimization

[1360] The server periodically retrieves the information stored in the database and uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) to analyze, optimize, and classify the information. During this process, incomplete and duplicate data is removed and processed to produce accurate and useful information. The optimized data is then used for user searches and suggestions.

[1361] Case search and suggestions

[1362] When a user enters their current medical history and concerns into the app, that information is sent to the server, which then searches the database for similar cases and uses generative AI to suggest appropriate treatments, prognoses, and necessary explanations. This information is displayed intuitively to the user.

[1363] Payment plan proposal

[1364] Furthermore, when users input the details of treatment and costs, the AI ​​generator will use that information to suggest the optimal payment plan, which may include installment payments, loans, or changing insurance plans, allowing users to choose the plan that best suits their financial situation.

[1365] Chat feature

[1366] It also provides a chat function for users to share information and support each other. If a user agrees, the server searches the database for other users in the same situation, matches them, and creates a chat room. In the chat room, users can exchange experiences and advice about treatment.

[1367] Hardware and software used

[1368] The main hardware includes smartphones (iOS, Android), cloud-based servers (AWS, Google Cloud), and software using generative AI models (GPT-3) and database management systems (SQL, NoSQL).

[1369] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1370] Examples of prompts used in this system are as follows:

[1371] "If a patient undergoing diabetes treatment has an annual treatment cost of 500,000 yen, of which 70% is covered by insurance, how would generative AI optimize the payment plan?"

[1372] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1373] Step 1:

[1374] Users enter information about failed cases through a smartphone app, including the treatment progress, treatment methods used, case details, and a breakdown of treatment costs. The information is then sent to the device via an input interface.

[1375] Step 2:

[1376] The device formats the information it receives and sends it over the Internet to a server, which stores the data and performs an initial evaluation and validation check. Correct data is then stored in a database.

[1377] Step 3:

[1378] The server periodically retrieves the information stored in the database and optimizes the data using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3). Specifically, the generative AI removes incomplete and duplicate data and converts it into accurate and useful information. This is where the data is optimized.

[1379] Step 4:

[1380] The user enters their current medical history and concerns into a smartphone app. This information includes details of symptoms and past treatment history. The entered information is then sent back to the server via the device.

[1381] Step 5:

[1382] The server analyzes the received patient information and searches the database for similar cases. During this process, the generative AI searches for relevant data, including treatment, prognosis, and explanation methods, and extracts the optimal solution. The search results are then provided to the user in an optimized form.

[1383] Step 6:

[1384] When a user enters the details of treatment and costs into the smartphone app, the information is sent to a server. The server analyzes this information and uses generative AI to propose the optimal payment plan. Proposed plans include installment payments, loans, and changes to insurance plans.

[1385] Step 7:

[1386] The server generates payment plan proposals and provides them to the user via a smartphone app, who can then select the plan that best suits their financial situation.

[1387] Step 8:

[1388] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the device sends the consent information to the server, which then searches the database for other users with similar circumstances and matches them. A chat room is then created, allowing users to share information with other users.

[1389] Step 9:

[1390] In the chat room, users exchange experiences and advice about failed cases, which allows users to receive psychological support and deepen their knowledge about better treatments and payment methods.

[1391] 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.

[1392] This invention is an integrated system that combines an emotion engine with a system that collects information on failed and difficult-to-treat cases, optimizes and classifies it using generative AI, and provides it to users. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state, provides optimal information, and optimizes the interface, improving the user experience.

[1514] "Means for optimizing information provision and interfaces based on emotional state" refers to a process for improving the user experience by providing optimal information and interfaces according to the user's current emotional state.

[1515] This invention is an integrated system that combines an emotion engine with a system that collects information on failed or difficult-to-treat cases, optimizes and classifies it using generative AI, and provides it to users. Specifically, it is composed of the following modules: a data collection module, an emotion engine, an interface optimization module, a database construction module, a case search module, and a chat function module.

[1516] Data Collection Module

[1517] A user uses a terminal to input information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases. The input interface should be designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The terminal formats the input information and sends it to a server via the internet. The server receives the transmitted information and stores it in an appropriate database. When storing the information, an initial evaluation and check is performed to ensure consistency and accuracy. A database management system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) is used for this process.

[1518] Emotion Engine

[1519] The server recognizes emotions in real time from the user's input and actions. This emotion recognition uses natural language processing technology (e.g., the BERT model) and image analysis technology (e.g., OpenCV, TensorFlow). The recognized emotion data is stored in a database and used for subsequent information provision and interface optimization.

[1520] Interface Optimization Module

[1521] The server searches for and provides the most appropriate information depending on the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is highly stressed, it will prioritize displaying encouraging words and success stories. The device then displays this information to the user in an appropriate format that is easy for the user to view and understand. This process uses information search technology (e.g., Elasticsearch).

[1522] Database construction module

[1523] The server periodically retrieves all data stored in the database and analyzes and classifies it using a generation AI (e.g., GPT-3, BERT). The generation AI removes incomplete and duplicate data and processes it to make it more accurate and useful information, and the optimized data is then stored back in the database.

[1524] Case Search Module

[1525] The user inputs their current medical history and concerns into the device. The input information is sent to the server, which analyzes the received information and searches for similar cases in the database. This process uses machine learning algorithms (e.g., k-NN, SVM). The server generates search results and sends them to the device, which then displays them to the user.

[1526] Chat Function Module

[1527] The user agrees to use the chat function and sends the consent information from the device to the server.

The server creates a chat room for the matched user, and the device notifies the user of the chat room information. The user joins the chat room and shares information with other users, and the emotion engine analyzes the conversation content in real time to provide appropriate support and advice.

[1528] Specific examples

[1529] Example 1: When a user enters information and searches for similar cases

[1530] The user enters details about their own failed surgery into the device. The emotion engine then recognizes the user's emotions from the input. The device then sends the information to the server, which then searches the database for similar cases. Emotional data is also taken into consideration, and appropriate information is provided preferentially. Search results provide details of follow-up treatments and prognoses for past cases of similar failed surgery.

[1531] Example 2: When users share information through chat

[1532] Users agree to use the chat function, and the server matches them with other users in the same situation. The server creates a chat room and notifies the user via their device. The user joins the chat room and shares information with other users. The emotion engine analyzes the content of the conversation and provides appropriate support and advice.

[1533] This system provides optimal information and support according to the user's psychological needs, creating an environment in which both doctors and patients can proceed with treatment with peace of mind.

[1615] In order to implement the present invention, it is important to link various hardware and software components. The specific configurations and operation methods of each component will be described below.

[1616] Enter and submit information

[1617] Users use devices such as smartphones or tablets to input information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases (e.g., progression of symptoms, treatment, case details, how to explain to family members, etc.). The input interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The input information is sent from the device to the server.

[1618] Receiving and storing information

[1619] The server stores the received information in a database in an appropriate format, with some initial evaluation and consistency checks to ensure the information is consistent and accurate. This process is carried out using a database management system (DBMS).

[1620] emotion recognition

[1621] The server recognizes emotions in real time from the content and actions the user inputs into the device. This emotion recognition uses natural language processing and image analysis technologies. Specifically, it uses the Hugging Face transformers library to analyze emotions from the user's input text. This emotional data is used to provide subsequent information and optimize the interface.

[1622] Information optimization and classification

[1623] The server analyzes and optimizes all stored data using a generative AI model. Specifically, it combines natural language processing and topic modeling (e.g., using TfidfVectorizer and NMF) to classify and organize the input information. The optimized data is then re-stored in the database.

[1624] Search and Information

[1625] When a user enters their medical history and concerns into their device, the information is sent to the server. The server uses this information to search for similar cases in its database. The search results, including information on the case's treatment, prognosis, and explanation method, are provided to the user's device from the server.

[1626] Chat feature

[1627] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the server searches the database for other users in the same situation and matches them. The server then creates a chat room so that matched users can share information through chat. Within this chat room, an emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions and provides appropriate support and advice.

[1628] Use in physical stores

[1629] In physical stores, patients and medical staff can collect and share case information using smartphones or tablets. For example, pharmacies and medical equipment stores can provide advice and product information based on past treatment failures or difficult cases. An emotion engine can also simultaneously provide information to reduce users' stress and anxiety.

[1630] Examples of concrete examples and prompts

[1631] A concrete example is a smartphone application for pharmacies. When a patient purchases medicine at the pharmacy, the application searches for information on past treatment failures or difficult cases and provides the most appropriate advice and product information. In addition, an emotion engine detects the patient's anxiety or stress and provides encouraging messages and self-care information.

[1632] Example prompt sentence:

[1633] "I would like to gather detailed information about a recent treatment failure for patient XYZ and recommend the best course of action to remedy this."

[1634] In this way, the present invention can provide optimal information and support according to the user's emotional state, improving the quality of medical services in physical stores.

[1635] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1636] Step 1:

[1651] Input and Output:

[1652] Input: Formatted information

[1653] Output: Information stored in the database

[1654] Step 4:

[1655] emotion recognition

[1656] The server analyzes the input and actions of the user on the device and performs emotion recognition. This emotion recognition uses the Hugging Face transformers library for text analysis. The recognized emotion data is stored in a database.

[1657] Input and Output:

[1658] Input: User-entered text and action data

[1659] Output: Analyzed sentiment data

[1660] Step 5:

[1661] Information optimization and classification

[1662] The server analyzes the information stored in the database using a generative AI model to optimize and classify the information. Topic modeling using TfidfVectorizer and NMF is performed here. The optimized data is then stored back in the database.

[1663] Input and Output:

[1664] Input: Information stored in a database

[1665] Output: Optimized information data

[1666] Step 6:

[1667] Search and Information

[1668] When a user inputs their medical history and concerns into their device, the information is sent to the server. The server uses this information to search for similar cases in the database and selects the most appropriate information. The selected information is then provided to the user's device from the server.

[1669] Input and Output:

[1670] Input: User-entered medical history and problem information

[1671] Output: Information on similar cases is provided to the user's device.

[1672] Step 7:

[1673] Chat feature

[1674] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the server searches for other users in the same situation and matches them. The server then creates a chat room so that matched users can exchange information through chat. Within the chat room, an emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions and provides appropriate support and advice.

[1675] Input and Output:

[1676] Input: User information that you have agreed to use

[1677] Output: Matched chat room information

[1678] Step 8:

[1679] Use in physical stores

[1680] In physical stores, patients and medical staff can use smartphones and tablets to collect and share case information. For example, advice and product information based on past treatment failures or difficult cases can be provided. An emotion engine also provides information to reduce users' stress and anxiety.

[1681] Input and Output:

[1682] Input: Case information and emotion data

[1683] Output: In-store advice and product information

[1684] This allows the system to provide optimal information and support according to the user's emotional state, improving the quality of medical services in physical stores.

[1685] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314.

[1895] (Application example 1)

[1896] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1897] Conventional medical information systems do not adequately manage or share information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases, making it difficult for both doctors and patients to select effective treatments. Furthermore, there is a lack of information about treatment costs and optimal payment methods, which can place a heavy financial burden on patients. Furthermore, there are limited opportunities for patients in the same situation to share information, and psychological support is also insufficient.

[1898] 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.

[1899] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting information about failed cases, a means for receiving the input information and storing it in a database, a means for using a generating AI to optimize the stored information, a means for receiving the user's medical history and concerns and searching the database for similar cases, a means for providing the user with the search results, a means for users with similar circumstances to connect via chat, and a means for users to select the optimal payment plan based on the treatment content and costs. This allows doctors and patients to effectively share information, enabling more appropriate treatment options, and patients to reduce their financial burden by selecting the optimal payment plan. Furthermore, patients with similar circumstances can share information and receive psychological support.

[1908] A "database" refers to a system or device that stores information in an organized manner so that it can be retrieved or accessed later.

[1909] "Financial burden" refers to the financial costs incurred by the user in relation to the cost of treatment.

[1910] System Overview

[1911] This invention is a system that integrates medical information management and the proposal of optimal payment plans. The system inputs, stores, optimizes, searches, and proposes information about failed cases, and then provides users with optimal payment plans based on that information. The system can use a smartphone application and operates in conjunction with a cloud-based server. Its main components include a database, a generative AI model, and a user interface.

[1912] Data collection and storage

[1913] Users enter detailed information about their failed cases through a smartphone app. This information includes the course of treatment, the treatment methods used, case details, and a breakdown of treatment costs. The entered information is sent to a server via the Internet and stored in a database. The input interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use during this process.

[1914] Data Optimization

[1915] The server periodically retrieves the information stored in the database and uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) to analyze, optimize, and classify the information. During this process, incomplete and duplicate data is removed and processed to produce accurate and useful information. The optimized data is then used for user searches and suggestions.

[1916] Case search and suggestions

[1917] When a user enters their current medical history and concerns into the app, that information is sent to the server, which then searches the database for similar cases and uses generative AI to suggest appropriate treatments, prognoses, and necessary explanations. This information is displayed intuitively to the user.

[1918] Payment plan proposal

[1919] Furthermore, when users input the details of treatment and costs, the AI ​​generator will use that information to suggest the optimal payment plan, which may include installment payments, loans, or changing insurance plans, allowing users to choose the plan that best suits their financial situation.

[1920] Chat feature

[1921] It also provides a chat function for users to share information and support each other. If a user agrees, the server searches the database for other users in the same situation, matches them, and creates a chat room. In the chat room, users can exchange experiences and advice about treatment.

[1922] Hardware and software used

[1923] The main hardware includes smartphones (iOS, Android), cloud-based servers (AWS, Google Cloud), and software using generative AI models (GPT-3) and database management systems (SQL, NoSQL).

[1924] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1925] Examples of prompts used in this system are as follows:

[1926] "If a patient undergoing diabetes treatment has an annual treatment cost of 500,000 yen, of which 70% is covered by insurance, how would generative AI optimize the payment plan?"

[1927] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1928] Step 1:

[1929] Users enter information about failed cases through a smartphone app, including the treatment progress, treatment methods used, case details, and a breakdown of treatment costs. The information is then sent to the device via an input interface.

[1930] Step 2:

[1931] The device formats the information it receives and sends it over the Internet to a server, which stores the data and performs an initial evaluation and validation check. Correct data is then stored in a database.

[1932] Step 3:

[1933] The server periodically retrieves the information stored in the database and optimizes the data using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3). Specifically, the generative AI removes incomplete and duplicate data and converts it into accurate and useful information. This is where the data is optimized.

[1934] Step 4:

[1935] The user enters their current medical history and concerns into a smartphone app. This information includes details of symptoms and past treatment history. The entered information is then sent back to the server via the device.

[1936] Step 5:

[1937] The server analyzes the received patient information and searches the database for similar cases. During this process, the generative AI searches for relevant data, including treatment, prognosis, and explanation methods, and extracts the optimal solution. The search results are then provided to the user in an optimized form.

[1938] Step 6:

[1939] When a user enters the details of treatment and costs into the smartphone app, the information is sent to a server. The server analyzes this information and uses generative AI to propose the optimal payment plan. Proposed plans include installment payments, loans, and changes to insurance plans.

[1940] Step 7:

[1941] The server generates payment plan proposals and provides them to the user via a smartphone app, who can then select the plan that best suits their financial situation.

[1942] Step 8:

[1943] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the device sends the consent information to the server, which then searches the database for other users with similar circumstances and matches them. A chat room is then created, allowing users to share information with other users.

[1944] Step 9:

[1945] In the chat room, users exchange experiences and advice about failed cases, which allows users to receive psychological support and deepen their knowledge about better treatments and payment methods.

[1946] 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.

[1947] This invention is an integrated system that combines an emotion engine with a system that collects information on failed and difficult-to-treat cases, optimizes and classifies it using generative AI, and provides it to users. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state, provides optimal information, and optimizes the interface, improving the user experience.

[2070] This invention is an integrated system that combines an emotion engine with a system that collects information on failed or difficult-to-treat cases, optimizes and classifies it using generative AI, and provides it to users. Specifically, it is composed of the following modules: a data collection module, an emotion engine, an interface optimization module, a database construction module, a case search module, and a chat function module.

[2071] Data Collection Module

[2072] A user uses a terminal to input information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases. The input interface should be designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The terminal formats the input information and sends it to a server via the internet. The server receives the transmitted information and stores it in an appropriate database. When storing the information, an initial evaluation and check is performed to ensure consistency and accuracy. A database management system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) is used for this process.

[2073] Emotion Engine

[2074] The server recognizes emotions in real time from the user's input and actions. This emotion recognition uses natural language processing technology (e.g., the BERT model) and image analysis technology (e.g., OpenCV, TensorFlow). The recognized emotion data is stored in a database and used for subsequent information provision and interface optimization.

[2075] Interface Optimization Module

[2076] The server searches for and provides the most appropriate information depending on the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is highly stressed, it will prioritize displaying encouraging words and success stories. The device then displays this information to the user in an appropriate format that is easy for the user to view and understand. This process uses information search technology (e.g., Elasticsearch).

[2077] Database construction module

[2078] The server periodically retrieves all data stored in the database and analyzes and classifies it using a generation AI (e.g., GPT-3, BERT). The generation AI removes incomplete and duplicate data and processes it to make it more accurate and useful information, and the optimized data is then stored back in the database.

[2079] Case Search Module

[2080] The user inputs their current medical history and concerns into the device. The input information is sent to the server, which analyzes the received information and searches for similar cases in the database. This process uses machine learning algorithms (e.g., k-NN, SVM). The server generates search results and sends them to the device, which then displays them to the user.

[2081] Chat Function Module

[2082] The user agrees to use the chat function and sends the consent information from the device to the server. The server uses the consent information to search for users in the same situation in its database and matches them. The server creates a chat room for the matched user, and the device notifies the user of the chat room information. The user joins the chat room and shares information with other users, and the emotion engine analyzes the conversation content in real time to provide appropriate support and advice.

[2083] Specific examples

[2084] Example 1: When a user enters information and searches for similar cases

[2085] The user enters details about their own failed surgery into the device. The emotion engine then recognizes the user's emotions from the input. The device then sends the information to the server, which then searches the database for similar cases. Emotional data is also taken into consideration, and appropriate information is provided preferentially. Search results provide details of follow-up treatments and prognoses for past cases of similar failed surgery.

[2086] Example 2: When users share information through chat

[2087] Users agree to use the chat function, and the server matches them with other users in the same situation. The server creates a chat room and notifies the user via their device. The user joins the chat room and shares information with other users. The emotion engine analyzes the content of the conversation and provides appropriate support and advice.

[2088] This system provides optimal information and support according to the user's psychological needs, creating an environment in which both doctors and patients can proceed with treatment with peace of mind.

[2139] Step 11: Gather consent and match for chat features

[2140] Users agree to use the chat function, and the server matches users with similar circumstances based on the consent information.

[2141] Input: consent information

[2142] Output: Chat partner matching information

[2143] Specific operation: The server records the consent information in a database and uses similarity calculations (e.g., Jaccard coefficient) to match users with the same concerns or symptoms.

[2144] Step 12: Create and notify chat rooms

[2145] The server creates a chat room for the matched user, and the terminal sends a notification to the user to join the chat room.

[2146] Input: Matching information

[2147] Output: Generated chat room information

[2148] Specific operation: The server creates a chat room and sends the information to the device. The user is notified and can join the chat room.

[2149] Step 13: Chat sentiment analysis and support

[2150] The server uses an emotion engine in the chat room to analyze the user's emotions in real time and provide appropriate support.

[2151] Input: Chat content

[2152] Output: Sentiment analysis results and supporting information

[2153] Specific operation: The server analyzes chat content, generates emotional data, and provides appropriate advice and support information based on the analysis results.

[2154] (Application example 2)

[2155] 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."

[2156] Conventional medical information systems lack the ability to collect and analyze information on failed or difficult-to-treat cases, and are often unable to provide optimal information tailored to the user's emotional state. Furthermore, there are issues with utilizing information in physical stores that sell health-related products, making it difficult to receive effective support.

[2157] 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.

[2158] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting information about failed cases, a means for receiving the input information and storing it in a database, a means for using a generation AI to optimize the stored information, a means for receiving the medical history and concerns from the user and searching for similar cases from the database, a means for providing the search results to the user, a means for connecting users with similar circumstances through chat, a means for performing emotion recognition and providing information according to the user's emotional state, and a means for use in physical stores that handle health-related products. This enables the provision of optimal information and support tailored to the user's emotional state, improving the quality of medical services in physical stores.

[2159] "Failed cases" are cases in which treatment or surgery did not produce the expected results.

[2160] "Means for inputting information" refers to an interface or device that allows a user to input information into the system.

[2161] "Means for receiving information and storing it in a database" refers to the technical means for receiving input information and storing it in a database.

[2162] "Generative AI" is an artificial intelligence technique used to analyze, optimize, and classify large amounts of data.

[2163] The "means for receiving medical history and concerns from the user" refers to an interface or device that allows the user to input their current medical history and concerns.

[2164] The "means for searching for similar cases" refers to a technical means for searching for similar cases from a database based on user input.

[2165] The "means for providing search results to the user" refers to an interface or device for displaying and providing the searched information to the user.

[2166] "A means for users in similar circumstances to connect through chat" is a technology that matches users with similar medical histories and concerns, allowing them to exchange information through chat.

[2167] "Means for emotion recognition" refers to technology for analyzing and recognizing emotions from user input and behavior.

[2168] "Means for providing information according to the user's emotional state" refers to technology that provides optimal information and advice to the user based on the results of emotion recognition.

[2169] A "brick and mortar store" is a physical store that sells health-related products.

[2170] In order to implement the present invention, it is important to link various hardware and software components. The specific configurations and operation methods of each component will be described below.

[2171] Enter and submit information

[2172] Users use devices such as smartphones or tablets to input information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases (e.g., progression of symptoms, treatment, case details, how to explain to family members, etc.). The input interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The input information is sent from the device to the server.

[2173] Receiving and storing information

[2174] The server stores the received information in a database in an appropriate format, with some initial evaluation and consistency checks to ensure the information is consistent and accurate. This process is carried out using a database management system (DBMS).

[2175] emotion recognition

[2176] The server recognizes emotions in real time from the content and actions the user inputs into the device. This emotion recognition uses natural language processing and image analysis technologies. Specifically, it uses the Hugging Face transformers library to analyze emotions from the user's input text. This emotional data is used to provide subsequent information and optimize the interface.

[2177] Information optimization and classification

[2178] The server analyzes and optimizes all stored data using a generative AI model. Specifically, it combines natural language processing and topic modeling (e.g., using TfidfVectorizer and NMF) to classify and organize the input information. The optimized data is then re-stored in the database.

[2179] Search and Information

[2180] When a user enters their medical history and concerns into their device, the information is sent to the server. The server uses this information to search for similar cases in its database. The search results, including information on the case's treatment, prognosis, and explanation method, are provided to the user's device from the server.

[2181] Chat feature

[2182] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the server searches the database for other users in the same situation and matches them. The server then creates a chat room so that matched users can share information through chat. Within this chat room, an emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions and provides appropriate support and advice.

[2183] Use in physical stores

[2184] In physical stores, patients and medical staff can collect and share case information using smartphones or tablets. For example, pharmacies and medical equipment stores can provide advice and product information based on past treatment failures or difficult cases. An emotion engine can also simultaneously provide information to reduce users' stress and anxiety.

[2185] Examples of concrete examples and prompts

[2186] A concrete example is a smartphone application for pharmacies. When a patient purchases medicine at the pharmacy, the application searches for information on past treatment failures or difficult cases and provides the most appropriate advice and product information. In addition, an emotion engine detects the patient's anxiety or stress and provides encouraging messages and self-care information.

[2187] Example prompt sentence:

[2188] "I would like to gather detailed information about a recent treatment failure for patient XYZ and recommend the best course of action to remedy this."

[2189] In this way, the present invention can provide optimal information and support according to the user's emotional state, improving the quality of medical services in physical stores.

[2190] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[2191] Step 1:

[2192] Entering information

[2193] Users use the input interface on their smartphone or tablet to input information about failed or difficult-to-treat cases, such as the progression of symptoms, treatment, case details, and how to explain the case to family members. This information is then stored on the device.

[2194] Input and Output:

[2195] Input: Detailed information about failed or difficult cases

[2196] Output: Information stored on the device

[2197] Step 2:

[2198] Sending information

[2199] The device formats the information entered by the user and transmits it over the Internet to a server, ensuring the data remains consistent and accurate.

[2200] Input and Output:

[2201] Input: Information stored on your device

[2202] Output: Formatted information is sent to the server

[2203] Step 3:

[2204] Receiving and storing information

[2205] The server receives the information sent from the device and stores it in a database in an appropriate format, with an initial evaluation and consistency check of the information before storing it.

[2206] Input and Output:

[2207] Input: Formatted information

[2208] Output: Information stored in the database

[2209] Step 4:

[2210] emotion recognition

[2211] The server analyzes the input and actions of the user on the device and performs emotion recognition. This emotion recognition uses the Hugging Face transformers library for text analysis. The recognized emotion data is stored in a database.

[2212] Input and Output:

[2213] Input: User-entered text and action data

[2214] Output: Analyzed sentiment data

[2215] Step 5:

[2216] Information optimization and classification

[2217] The server analyzes the information stored in the database using a generative AI model to optimize and classify the information. Topic modeling using TfidfVectorizer and NMF is performed here. The optimized data is then stored back in the database.

[2218] Input and Output:

[2219] Input: Information stored in a database

[2220] Output: Optimized information data

[2221] Step 6:

[2222] Search and Information

[2223] When a user inputs their medical history and concerns into their device, the information is sent to the server. The server uses this information to search for similar cases in the database and selects the most appropriate information. The selected information is then provided to the user's device from the server.

[2224] Input and Output:

[2225] Input: User-entered medical history and problem information

[2226] Output: Information on similar cases is provided to the user's device.

[2227] Step 7:

[2228] Chat feature

[2229] When a user agrees to use the chat function, the server searches for other users in the same situation and matches them. The server then creates a chat room so that matched users can exchange information through chat. Within the chat room, an emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions and provides appropriate support and advice.

[2230] Input and Output:

[2231] Input: User information that you have agreed to use

[2232] Output: Matched chat room information

[2233] Step 8:

[2234] Use in physical stores

[2235] In physical stores, patients and medical staff can use smartphones and tablets to collect and share case information. For example, advice and product information based on past treatment failures or difficult cases can be provided. An emotion engine also provides information to reduce users' stress and anxiety.

[2236] Input and Output:

[2237] Input: Case information and emotion data

[2238] Output: In-store advice and product information

[2239] This allows the system to provide optimal information and support according to the user's emotional state, improving the quality of medical services in physical stores.

[2240] 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.

[2241] 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.

[2242] 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.

[2243] 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.

[2244] 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.

[2245] 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.

[2246] 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).

[2247] 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.

[2248] 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."

[2249] 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.

[2250] 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).

[2251] 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.

[2252] 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.

[2253] 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.

[2254] 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.

[2255] 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.

[2256] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific processing may be a single processor.

[2257] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.

[2258] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example.

Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
