[0117] Example 1

[0118] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0119] There is a need for a method to provide specific, individualized career advice quickly and accurately to high school students struggling with career choices. Traditional career guidance relies on the experience and subjectivity of teachers and counselors, and can lack consistency for all students. Another problem is that it is difficult to customize advice to reflect the characteristics of a specific school or feedback from the career guidance office. Furthermore, there is a lack of a way to incorporate student feedback in real time and improve the accuracy of career advice.

[0120] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0121] In this invention, the server includes a means for receiving user data and storing it in a database, a means for converting the received data into an analyzable format and providing it to the generative AI model, and a means for receiving advice generated by the generative AI model and customizing it based on the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office. This allows high school students to receive specific and personalized career advice, significantly reducing the burden of career choice. Customization based on feedback from the career guidance office is also possible, reducing the burden on teachers and counselors. Furthermore, by reflecting student feedback in real time and updating the learning data of the generative AI model, the accuracy of advice can be improved.

[0122] "Users" refers to those who use the system to receive career advice, such as high school students.

[0123] "Interests" refer to the academic subjects or fields of activity in which a user is particularly interested.

[0124] "Academic ability" refers to an indicator that shows a user's academic performance and level of knowledge.

[0129] "Server" refers to the computer system that receives, analyzes, and provides data submitted by users to the generative AI model.

[0130] "Database" refers to a storage device for storing user input data, generated advice, feedback, etc.

[0131] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates optimal career advice based on data such as a user's interests and academic ability.

[0132] "Advice" refers to the advisory information generated by the generative AI model regarding the user's best future career, further education, expected annual income, points to note, etc.

[0133] "Feedback" refers to opinions and requests made by users in response to advice provided.

[0134] "Customization" refers to adjusting the generated advice to take into account the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office.

[0135] "Display" refers to visually presenting the customized advice on the device screen.

[0136] This invention relates to a digital career guidance system that helps high school students resolve their concerns about their career choices. This system uses a generative AI model to provide optimal career advice based on user (high school student) inputs of their interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and requirements for further education and employment, and improves the accuracy of the system based on feedback.

[0137] First, a user uses a device such as a smartphone or PC to input their interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and conditions regarding further education and employment. For example, User A inputs his / her interests as "biology," academic ability as "high," special skills as "experiment," personality as "curious," and desired education as "medical school."

[0138] Next, the device receives input data from the user, converts it into the required format (e.g., JSON format), and sends it to the server, which receives the data and stores it in a database. The server then formats the data into an analyzable format and provides it to the generative AI model.

[0139] The generative AI model analyzes a user's interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and conditions to generate optimal career advice. For example, it analyzes User A's data and generates the following advice: "Future occupation: doctor or researcher," "Expected annual income: 5 million yen or more from the first year," and "Caution: Be careful of long working hours and excessive stress."

[0140] The generated advice is returned to the server and customized based on the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office. For example, advice optimized for User A is created based on the school's designated recommendation quota and local characteristics.

[0141] The server sends the customized advice to the user's terminal, which displays the advice, allowing the user to review the advice and use it to help them choose their own path.

[0142] The user can also input feedback on the advice provided, for example, "I would like information on scholarships related to this occupation." The terminal then sends this feedback back to the server, which then stores it in a database.

[0143] Finally, the generative AI model retrains based on new feedback data to improve the accuracy of future advice. In this way, the system of the present invention enables high school students to receive specific and realistic career advice optimized for their individual characteristics, significantly reducing the stress of career choice. It also reduces the burden on career guidance offices, enabling more students to receive highly accurate individualized guidance.

[0144] (Example of a prompt)

[0145] As a concrete example, let's use the following prompt: "If User A enters interests: biology, academic ability: high, special skills: experimentation, personality: curious, and educational aspirations: medical school, provide the best career advice."

[0146] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0147] Step 1:

[0468] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0469] In factories and industrial sites, improving employees' skills and choosing career paths is important, but providing individual advice that takes into account the characteristics and feelings of each employee is difficult. Furthermore, there are currently no effective ways to provide advice on the skills and careers that employees need. To solve these issues, a system is needed that can accurately grasp employees' interests, current skills, desired career paths, and motivation for skill improvement, and provide optimal advice.

[0470] 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.

[0471] In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting a user's interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, emotions, and hopes and requirements regarding further education and employment; means for transmitting the input data to the server; means for the server to receive the data and store it in a database; means for providing the data to a generation AI and generating advice on the user's optimal future career, future education, expected annual income, points to note, etc.; means for the server to receive the generated advice and customize it to suit the characteristics of each organization; means for transmitting the customized advice to a terminal and displaying it to the user; means for transmitting user feedback on the advice back to the server and reflecting it in the learning data of the generation AI; means for the user to input and provide the feedback using a smart terminal; and means for installing the system on a robot to provide career advice to factory employees. This enables personalized advice that takes into account the characteristics and emotions of each employee.

[0472] A "user" is a person or employee who uses the system to input information about interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, emotions, and hopes and conditions regarding further education or employment.

[0473] "Interests" refers to information about areas or activities in which a user is particularly interested.

[0474] "Academic ability" refers to information indicating the user's current educational level and learning progress.

[0475] "Special skills" refers to information about skills or abilities that a user excels at compared to others.

[0476] "Personality" refers to internal characteristics that indicate a user's tendencies in behavior and reactions.

[0477] "Emotion" refers to information that indicates the user's psychological state or sensation at that time.

[0478] "Aspirations and conditions regarding further education and employment" refers to the desired educational destination or employment destination of the user and related conditions (such as work location and working hours).

[0479] "Server" means a computer system that receives, stores, and analyzes data submitted by users and provides customized generated advice.

[0480] "Database" refers to an information storage system for storing and managing user data and feedback data received by the server.

[0481] "Generative AI" refers to an artificial intelligence model that generates optimal advice based on user data.

[0482] "Customizing" means optimizing the generated advice based on the characteristics of each organization and user feedback.

[0483] A "user interface" is a screen or device through which a user inputs data, receives advice, and provides feedback.

[0484] "Feedback" refers to information that a user sends to the server, such as their thoughts on the advice provided and suggestions for improvement.

[0485] "Robots" are automated machines that install and provide information on career advice systems.

[0486] This invention relates to a career consulting system for factory employees that applies a digital career guidance system. This system uses generative AI and an emotion engine to provide optimal career advice based on the interests, skills, desired career path, and emotional state input by the user (employee).

[0487] First, a user inputs their interests, current skills, special abilities, personality, emotions, and career aspirations and requirements from a smart terminal or interface device. For example, they might enter data such as "I want to improve my welding skills" or "I have a high motivation to work hard." The terminal then stores this data locally, formats it into a transmission format, and sends it to the server.

[0488] The server receives the data sent from the device, analyzes the data format, and stores it in a database. The received data is converted into an analytical format and provided to the emotion engine and generation AI. The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions from the received data and provides the results to the generation AI. As a specific example, the emotion engine extracts the emotional state of "high motivation to make an effort" as the analysis result.

[0489] The AI ​​begins its analysis based on the user's interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotional analysis results, and career aspirations and requirements. The AI ​​generates optimal career advice and sends it back to the server. For example, it might suggest a curriculum or course to improve specific skills to become a senior welding engineer.

[0490] The server analyzes the advice data received from the AI ​​generator and customizes the advice based on each organization's characteristics and past feedback. Specifically, it adds appropriate training programs and learning resources. This customized advice is then sent back to the device and displayed in the user interface.

[0491] Users can input feedback on the advice provided, adding information such as "I would like to know about internships related to this occupation." This feedback is sent from the device to the server and stored in a database. The AI ​​then retrains itself based on the new feedback data, improving the accuracy of its advice generation from the next time onwards.

[0492] The hardware used includes smart devices and tablets used by each user, and server systems that perform analysis and calculation processing, while the software used includes databases (e.g., MySQL or PostgreSQL), emotion engines (e.g., Google Cloud Natural Language API), and generative AI (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4).

[0493] Examples of specific prompts include:

[0494] "Interests: Welding, Current Skills: Intermediate, Desired Career Path: Senior Welder, Emotions: Highly motivated to work hard."

[0495] In this way, the system of the present invention provides optimal career advice to factory employees that takes their emotions into consideration, helping users improve their skills. Furthermore, by incorporating user feedback, the system can continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its services.

[0496] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0497] Step 1:

[0498] Users input their interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotions, and career aspirations and requirements using a smart terminal or interface device. Examples of input data include "Interests: Welding," "Skills: Intermediate," "Desired career path: Senior welding engineer," and "Emotions: Highly motivated to work hard."

[0499] Step 2:

[0500] The terminal locally stores the information entered by the user. After saving, the data is formatted for transmission and sent to the server. Here, the input is the user's information and the output is the formatted data.

[0501] Step 3:

[0502] The server receives data sent from the terminal and analyzes the data format. The analyzed data is stored in a database. The input is the received data, and the output is the data stored in the database.

[0503] Step 4:

[0504] The server converts the data stored in the database into an analytical format and provides it to the emotion engine and generation AI. The input is the data in the database, and the output is the data in the analytical format.

[0505] Step 5:

[0506] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions from the data in the analysis format. For example, it extracts the emotional state of "high motivation to make an effort." The input is the data in the analysis format, and the output is the emotion analysis result.

[0507] Step 6:

[0508] The generation AI begins analysis based on the user's interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotional analysis results, and career-related aspirations and requirements. The generation AI generates optimal career advice and sends it back to the server. For example, it might suggest "curriculum and courses for becoming a senior welding engineer." The input is user data and the results of emotional analysis, and the output is career advice.

[0509] Step 7:

[0510] The server analyzes the advice data received from the generative AI and customizes the advice based on each organization's characteristics and past feedback. For example, it adds specific training programs and learning resources. The input is career advice from the generative AI, and the output is customized advice.

[0511] Step 8:

[0512] The server sends the customized advice to the terminal and displays it to the user. The input is the customized advice, and the output is the advice displayed on the user terminal.

[0513] Step 9:

[0514] The user inputs feedback for the provided advice. For example, the user adds a comment such as, "I would like to know about internship information related to this occupation." The input is the user's feedback, and the output is the transmission of the feedback data by the terminal.

[0515] Step 10:

[0516] The terminal sends the user's feedback to the server and stores it in a database. The input is the feedback data, and the output is the storage in the database.

[0517] Step 11:

[0518] The server provides feedback data to the AI ​​generator, which then retrains based on the new data. This improves the accuracy of advice generation from the next time onwards. The input is the feedback data, and the output is an improved algorithm of the AI ​​generator.

[0519] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0520] 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.

[0603] In this way, the system provides users with specific, personalized career advice and incorporates feedback to continuously improve the service.

[0604] Example 1

[0605] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0606] There is a need for a method to provide specific, individualized career advice quickly and accurately to high school students struggling with career choices. Traditional career guidance relies on the experience and subjectivity of teachers and counselors, and can lack consistency for all students. Another problem is that it is difficult to customize advice to reflect the characteristics of a specific school or feedback from the career guidance office. Furthermore, there is a lack of a way to incorporate student feedback in real time and improve the accuracy of career advice.

[0607] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0608] In this invention, the server includes a means for receiving user data and storing it in a database, a means for converting the received data into an analyzable format and providing it to the generative AI model, and a means for receiving advice generated by the generative AI model and customizing it based on the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office. This allows high school students to receive specific and personalized career advice, significantly reducing the burden of career choice. Customization based on feedback from the career guidance office is also possible, reducing the burden on teachers and counselors. Furthermore, by reflecting student feedback in real time and updating the learning data of the generative AI model, the accuracy of advice can be improved.

[0609] "Users" refers to those who use the system to receive career advice, such as high school students.

[0610] "Interests" refer to the academic subjects or fields of activity in which a user is particularly interested.

[0611] "Academic ability" refers to an indicator that shows a user's academic performance and level of knowledge.

[0612] "Special skills" refer to skills or abilities that a user has that are particularly superior to others.

[0613] "Personality" refers to a user's personal characteristics and behavioral traits.

[0614] "Hope and conditions" refers to the hopes and constraints that the user has regarding future education or employment.

[0615] "Terminal" refers to a device such as a smartphone or computer that a user uses to input data and communicate with a server or generative AI model.

[0616] "Server" refers to the computer system that receives, analyzes, and provides data submitted by users to the generative AI model.

[0617] "Database" refers to a storage device for storing user input data, generated advice, feedback, etc.

[0618] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates optimal career advice based on data such as a user's interests and academic ability.

[0619] "Advice" refers to the advisory information generated by the generative AI model regarding the user's best future career, further education, expected annual income, points to note, etc.

[0620] "Feedback" refers to opinions and requests made by users in response to advice provided.

[0621] "Customization" refers to adjusting the generated advice to take into account the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office.

[0622] "Display" refers to visually presenting the customized advice on the device screen.

[0623] This invention relates to a digital career guidance system that helps high school students resolve their concerns about their career choices. This system uses a generative AI model to provide optimal career advice based on user (high school student) inputs of their interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and requirements for further education and employment, and improves the accuracy of the system based on feedback.

[0624] First, a user uses a device such as a smartphone or PC to input their interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and conditions regarding further education and employment. For example, User A inputs his / her interests as "biology," academic ability as "high," special skills as "experiment," personality as "curious," and desired education as "medical school."

[0625] Next, the device receives input data from the user, converts it into the required format (e.g., JSON format), and sends it to the server, which receives the data and stores it in a database. The server then formats the data into an analyzable format and provides it to the generative AI model.

[0626] The generative AI model analyzes a user's interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and conditions to generate optimal career advice. For example, it analyzes User A's data and generates the following advice: "Future occupation: doctor or researcher," "Expected annual income: 5 million yen or more from the first year," and "Caution: Be careful of long working hours and excessive stress."

[0627] The generated advice is returned to the server and customized based on the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office. For example, advice optimized for User A is created based on the school's designated recommendation quota and local characteristics.

[0628] The server sends the customized advice to the user's terminal, which displays the advice, allowing the user to review the advice and use it to help them choose their own path.

[0629] The user can also input feedback on the advice provided, for example, "I would like information on scholarships related to this occupation." The terminal then sends this feedback back to the server, which then stores it in a database.

[0630] Finally, the generative AI model retrains based on new feedback data to improve the accuracy of future advice. In this way, the system of the present invention enables high school students to receive specific and realistic career advice optimized for their individual characteristics, significantly reducing the stress of career choice. It also reduces the burden on career guidance offices, enabling more students to receive highly accurate individualized guidance.

[0631] (Example of a prompt)

[0632] As a concrete example, let's use the following prompt: "If User A enters interests: biology, academic ability: high, special skills: experimentation, personality: curious, and educational aspirations: medical school, provide the best career advice."

[0633] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0634] Step 1:

[0638] Output: Input data formatted on the terminal

[0639] Step 2:

[0640] Data transmission by the terminal

[0641] The device internally converts the collected user data into an appropriate format (for example, JSON format). After conversion, the device sends this data to a server via the Internet. As a specific example, User A's data is converted into a JSON-formatted string and sent as "{"interest": "biology", "academic_level": "high", "skills": "experiment", "personality": "curious", "education_wish": "medical school"}".

[0642] Input: formatted user data

[0643] Output: JSON format data sent to the server

[0644] Step 3:

[0645] Data reception by the server

[0646] The server receives the data sent from the device. Specifically, the server's data reception API is called and the received data is saved in the appropriate database.

[0647] Input: User data in JSON format

[0648] Output: User data stored in the database

[0649] Step 4:

[0650] Data formatting and provision by the server

[0651] The server then formats the received data into an analyzable format, extracting it from the database, splitting it into fields, and cleansing the data as needed.Then, it provides the formatted data to the generative AI model.

[0652] Input: User data in the database

[0653] Output: The formatted data that is fed into the generative AI model.

[0654] Step 5:

[0655] Advice generation using generative AI models

[0656] The generative AI model analyzes the provided user data and generates optimal career advice. Specifically, it analyzes information such as interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and educational aspirations, and generates specific advice such as "Future occupation: doctor or researcher," "Expected annual income: 5 million yen or more from the first year," and "Points to note: be careful of long working hours and excessive stress."

[0657] Input: formatted user data

[0658] Output: Generated career advice

[0659] Step 6:

[0660] Server-customized advice

[0661] The server receives advice from the generative AI model and customizes it based on the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office. For example, it creates advice optimized for User A, taking into account the school's specific recommendation quotas and the local job market.

[0662] Input: Advice from a generative AI model

[0663] Output: Customized advice

[0664] Step 7:

[0665] Server-based advice sending

[0666] The server transmits the customized advice to the user's terminal. Specifically, the server converts the customized advice into an appropriate format and transmits it to the user's terminal.

[0667] Input: Customized Advice

[0668] Output: Advice sent to the user's terminal

[0669] Step 8:

[0670] Advice display on the device

[0671] The user's device displays the advice received from the server. Specifically, the advice is displayed in a list or card format, providing an interface that the user can understand visually.

[0672] Input: Customized advice sent by the server

[0673] Output: Advice displayed on the screen

[0674] Step 9:

[0954] (Application example 2)

[0955] 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."

[0956] In factories and industrial sites, improving employees' skills and choosing career paths is important, but providing individual advice that takes into account the characteristics and feelings of each employee is difficult. Furthermore, there are currently no effective ways to provide advice on the skills and careers that employees need. To solve these issues, a system is needed that can accurately grasp employees' interests, current skills, desired career paths, and motivation for skill improvement, and provide optimal advice.

[0957] 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.

[0958] In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting a user's interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, emotions, and hopes and requirements regarding further education and employment; means for transmitting the input data to the server; means for the server to receive the data and store it in a database; means for providing the data to a generation AI and generating advice on the user's optimal future career, future education, expected annual income, points to note, etc.; means for the server to receive the generated advice and customize it to suit the characteristics of each organization; means for transmitting the customized advice to a terminal and displaying it to the user; means for transmitting user feedback on the advice back to the server and reflecting it in the learning data of the generation AI; means for the user to input and provide the feedback using a smart terminal; and means for installing the system on a robot to provide career advice to factory employees. This enables personalized advice that takes into account the characteristics and emotions of each employee.

[0959] A "user" is a person or employee who uses the system to input information about interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, emotions, and hopes and conditions regarding further education or employment.

[0960] "Interests" refers to information about areas or activities in which a user is particularly interested.

[0961] "Academic ability" refers to information indicating the user's current educational level and learning progress.

[0962] "Special skills" refers to information about skills or abilities that a user excels at compared to others.

[0963] "Personality" refers to internal characteristics that indicate a user's tendencies in behavior and reactions.

[0964] "Emotion" refers to information that indicates the user's psychological state or sensation at that time.

[0965] "Aspirations and conditions regarding further education and employment" refers to the desired educational destination or employment destination of the user and related conditions (such as work location and working hours).

[0966] "Server" means a computer system that receives, stores, and analyzes data submitted by users and provides customized generated advice.

[0967] "Database" refers to an information storage system for storing and managing user data and feedback data received by the server.

[0968] "Generative AI" refers to an artificial intelligence model that generates optimal advice based on user data.

[0969] "Customizing" means optimizing the generated advice based on the characteristics of each organization and user feedback.

[0970] A "user interface" is a screen or device through which a user inputs data, receives advice, and provides feedback.

[0971] "Feedback" refers to information that a user sends to the server, such as their thoughts on the advice provided and suggestions for improvement.

[0972] "Robots" are automated machines that install and provide information on career advice systems.

[0973] This invention relates to a career consulting system for factory employees that applies a digital career guidance system. This system uses generative AI and an emotion engine to provide optimal career advice based on the interests, skills, desired career path, and emotional state input by the user (employee).

[0974] First, a user inputs their interests, current skills, special abilities, personality, emotions, and career aspirations and requirements from a smart terminal or interface device. For example, they might enter data such as "I want to improve my welding skills" or "I have a high motivation to work hard." The terminal then stores this data locally, formats it into a transmission format, and sends it to the server.

[0975] The server receives the data sent from the device, analyzes the data format, and stores it in a database. The received data is converted into an analytical format and provided to the emotion engine and generation AI. The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions from the received data and provides the results to the generation AI. As a specific example, the emotion engine extracts the emotional state of "high motivation to make an effort" as the analysis result.

[0976] The AI ​​begins its analysis based on the user's interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotional analysis results, and career aspirations and requirements. The AI ​​generates optimal career advice and sends it back to the server. For example, it might suggest a curriculum or course to improve specific skills to become a senior welding engineer.

[0977] The server analyzes the advice data received from the AI ​​generator and customizes the advice based on each organization's characteristics and past feedback. Specifically, it adds appropriate training programs and learning resources. This customized advice is then sent back to the device and displayed in the user interface.

[0978] Users can input feedback on the advice provided, adding information such as "I would like to know about internships related to this occupation." This feedback is sent from the device to the server and stored in a database. The AI ​​then retrains itself based on the new feedback data, improving the accuracy of its advice generation from the next time onwards.

[0979] The hardware used includes smart devices and tablets used by each user, and server systems that perform analysis and calculation processing, while the software used includes databases (e.g., MySQL or PostgreSQL), emotion engines (e.g., Google Cloud Natural Language API), and generative AI (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4).

[0980] Examples of specific prompts include:

[0981] "Interests: Welding, Current Skills: Intermediate, Desired Career Path: Senior Welder, Emotions: Highly motivated to work hard."

[0982] In this way, the system of the present invention provides optimal career advice to factory employees that takes their emotions into consideration, helping users improve their skills. Furthermore, by incorporating user feedback, the system can continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its services.

[0983] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0984] Step 1:

[0985] Users input their interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotions, and career aspirations and requirements using a smart terminal or interface device. Examples of input data include "Interests: Welding," "Skills: Intermediate," "Desired career path: Senior welding engineer," and "Emotions: Highly motivated to work hard."

[0986] Step 2:

[0987] The terminal locally stores the information entered by the user. After saving, the data is formatted for transmission and sent to the server. Here, the input is the user's information and the output is the formatted data.

[0988] Step 3:

[0989] The server receives data sent from the terminal and analyzes the data format. The analyzed data is stored in a database. The input is the received data, and the output is the data stored in the database.

[0990] Step 4:

[0991] The server converts the data stored in the database into an analytical format and provides it to the emotion engine and generation AI. The input is the data in the database, and the output is the data in the analytical format.

[0992] Step 5:

[0993] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions from the data in the analysis format. For example, it extracts the emotional state of "high motivation to make an effort." The input is the data in the analysis format, and the output is the emotion analysis result.

[0994] Step 6:

[0995] The generation AI begins analysis based on the user's interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotional analysis results, and career-related aspirations and requirements. The generation AI generates optimal career advice and sends it back to the server. For example, it might suggest "curriculum and courses for becoming a senior welding engineer." The input is user data and the results of emotional analysis, and the output is career advice.

[0996] Step 7:

[0997] The server analyzes the advice data received from the generative AI and customizes the advice based on each organization's characteristics and past feedback. For example, it adds specific training programs and learning resources. The input is career advice from the generative AI, and the output is customized advice.

[0998] Step 8:

[0999] The server sends the customized advice to the terminal and displays it to the user. The input is the customized advice, and the output is the advice displayed on the user terminal.

[1000] Step 9:

[1001] The user inputs feedback for the provided advice. For example, the user adds a comment such as, "I would like to know about internship information related to this occupation." The input is the user's feedback, and the output is the transmission of the feedback data by the terminal.

[1002] Step 10:

[1003] The terminal sends the user's feedback to the server and stores it in a database. The input is the feedback data, and the output is the storage in the database.

[1004] Step 11:

[1005] The server provides feedback data to the AI ​​generator, which then retrains based on the new data. This improves the accuracy of advice generation from the next time onwards. The input is the feedback data, and the output is an improved algorithm of the AI ​​generator.

[1006] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[1007] 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.

[1008] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the smart glasses 214.

[1090] In this way, the system provides users with specific, personalized career advice and incorporates feedback to continuously improve the service.

[1091] Example 1

[1092] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1093] There is a need for a method to provide specific, individualized career advice quickly and accurately to high school students struggling with career choices. Traditional career guidance relies on the experience and subjectivity of teachers and counselors, and can lack consistency for all students. Another problem is that it is difficult to customize advice to reflect the characteristics of a specific school or feedback from the career guidance office. Furthermore, there is a lack of a way to incorporate student feedback in real time and improve the accuracy of career advice.

[1094] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1095] In this invention, the server includes a means for receiving user data and storing it in a database, a means for converting the received data into an analyzable format and providing it to the generative AI model, and a means for receiving advice generated by the generative AI model and customizing it based on the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office. This allows high school students to receive specific and personalized career advice, significantly reducing the burden of career choice. Customization based on feedback from the career guidance office is also possible, reducing the burden on teachers and counselors. Furthermore, by reflecting student feedback in real time and updating the learning data of the generative AI model, the accuracy of advice can be improved.

[1096] "Users" refers to those who use the system to receive career advice, such as high school students.

[1097] "Interests" refer to the academic subjects or fields of activity in which a user is particularly interested.

[1098] "Academic ability" refers to an indicator that shows a user's academic performance and level of knowledge.

[1099] "Special skills" refer to skills or abilities that a user has that are particularly superior to others.

[1100] "Personality" refers to a user's personal characteristics and behavioral traits.

[1101] "Hope and conditions" refers to the hopes and constraints that the user has regarding future education or employment.

[1102] "Terminal" refers to a device such as a smartphone or computer that a user uses to input data and communicate with a server or generative AI model.

[1103] "Server" refers to the computer system that receives, analyzes, and provides data submitted by users to the generative AI model.

[1104] "Database" refers to a storage device for storing user input data, generated advice, feedback, etc.

[1105] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates optimal career advice based on data such as a user's interests and academic ability.

[1106] "Advice" refers to the advisory information generated by the generative AI model regarding the user's best future career, further education, expected annual income, points to note, etc.

[1107] "Feedback" refers to opinions and requests made by users in response to advice provided.

[1108] "Customization" refers to adjusting the generated advice to take into account the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office.

[1109] "Display" refers to visually presenting the customized advice on the device screen.

[1110] This invention relates to a digital career guidance system that helps high school students resolve their concerns about their career choices. This system uses a generative AI model to provide optimal career advice based on user (high school student) inputs of their interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and requirements for further education and employment, and improves the accuracy of the system based on feedback.

[1111] First, a user uses a device such as a smartphone or PC to input their interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and conditions regarding further education and employment. For example, User A inputs his / her interests as "biology," academic ability as "high," special skills as "experiment," personality as "curious," and desired education as "medical school."

[1112] Next, the device receives input data from the user, converts it into the required format (e.g., JSON format), and sends it to the server, which receives the data and stores it in a database. The server then formats the data into an analyzable format and provides it to the generative AI model.

[1113] The generative AI model analyzes a user's interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and conditions to generate optimal career advice. For example, it analyzes User A's data and generates the following advice: "Future occupation: doctor or researcher," "Expected annual income: 5 million yen or more from the first year," and "Caution: Be careful of long working hours and excessive stress."

[1114] The generated advice is returned to the server and customized based on the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office. For example, advice optimized for User A is created based on the school's designated recommendation quota and local characteristics.

[1115] The server sends the customized advice to the user's terminal, which displays the advice, allowing the user to review the advice and use it to help them choose their own path.

[1116] The user can also input feedback on the advice provided, for example, "I would like information on scholarships related to this occupation." The terminal then sends this feedback back to the server, which then stores it in a database.

[1117] Finally, the generative AI model retrains based on new feedback data to improve the accuracy of future advice. In this way, the system of the present invention enables high school students to receive specific and realistic career advice optimized for their individual characteristics, significantly reducing the stress of career choice. It also reduces the burden on career guidance offices, enabling more students to receive highly accurate individualized guidance.

[1118] (Example of a prompt)

[1119] As a concrete example, let's use the following prompt: "If User A enters interests: biology, academic ability: high, special skills: experimentation, personality: curious, and educational aspirations: medical school, provide the best career advice."

[1120] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1121] Step 1:

[1122] User data entry

[1123] Using a device (such as a smartphone or PC), the user inputs their interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and requirements regarding further education and employment. Specifically, the user inputs information such as "Interests: Biology," "Academic ability: High," "Special skills: Experiments," "Personality: Very curious," and "Aspirations for further education: Medical school" into the device's input form. The input data is entered in "text format," for example.

[1124] Input: Data such as user interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and educational aspirations

[1125] Output: Input data formatted on the terminal

[1126] Step 2:

[1127] Data transmission by the terminal

[1128] The device internally converts the collected user data into an appropriate format (for example, JSON format). After conversion, the device sends this data to a server via the Internet. As a specific example, User A's data is converted into a JSON-formatted string and sent as "{"interest": "biology", "academic_level": "high", "skills": "experiment", "personality": "curious", "education_wish": "medical school"}".

[1129] Input: formatted user data

[1130] Output: JSON format data sent to the server

[1131] Step 3:

[1132] Data reception by the server

[1133] The server receives the data sent from the device. Specifically, the server's data reception API is called and the received data is saved in the appropriate database.

[1134] Input: User data in JSON format

[1135] Output: User data stored in the database

[1136] Step 4:

[1137] Data formatting and provision by the server

[1138] The server then formats the received data into an analyzable format, extracting it from the database, splitting it into fields, and cleansing the data as needed.Then, it provides the formatted data to the generative AI model.

[1139] Input: User data in the database

[1140] Output: The formatted data that is fed into the generative AI model.

[1141] Step 5:

[1142] Advice generation using generative AI models

[1143] The generative AI model analyzes the provided user data and generates optimal career advice. Specifically, it analyzes information such as interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and educational aspirations, and generates specific advice such as "Future occupation: doctor or researcher," "Expected annual income: 5 million yen or more from the first year," and "Points to note: be careful of long working hours and excessive stress."

[1144] Input: formatted user data

[1145] Output: Generated career advice

[1146] Step 6:

[1147] Server-customized advice

[1148] The server receives advice from the generative AI model and customizes it based on the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office. For example, it creates advice optimized for User A, taking into account the school's specific recommendation quotas and the local job market.

[1149] Input: Advice from a generative AI model

[1150] Output: Customized advice

[1441] (Application example 2)

[1442] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1443] In factories and industrial sites, improving employees' skills and choosing career paths is important, but providing individual advice that takes into account the characteristics and feelings of each employee is difficult. Furthermore, there are currently no effective ways to provide advice on the skills and careers that employees need. To solve these issues, a system is needed that can accurately grasp employees' interests, current skills, desired career paths, and motivation for skill improvement, and provide optimal advice.

[1444] 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.

[1445] In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting a user's interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, emotions, and hopes and requirements regarding further education and employment; means for transmitting the input data to the server; means for the server to receive the data and store it in a database; means for providing the data to a generation AI and generating advice on the user's optimal future career, future education, expected annual income, points to note, etc.; means for the server to receive the generated advice and customize it to suit the characteristics of each organization; means for transmitting the customized advice to a terminal and displaying it to the user; means for transmitting user feedback on the advice back to the server and reflecting it in the learning data of the generation AI; means for the user to input and provide the feedback using a smart terminal; and means for installing the system on a robot to provide career advice to factory employees. This enables personalized advice that takes into account the characteristics and emotions of each employee.

[1446] A "user" is a person or employee who uses the system to input information about interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, emotions, and hopes and conditions regarding further education or employment.

[1447] "Interests" refers to information about areas or activities in which a user is particularly interested.

[1448] "Academic ability" refers to information indicating the user's current educational level and learning progress.

[1449] "Special skills" refers to information about skills or abilities that a user excels at compared to others.

[1450] "Personality" refers to internal characteristics that indicate a user's tendencies in behavior and reactions.

[1451] "Emotion" refers to information that indicates the user's psychological state or sensation at that time.

[1452] "Aspirations and conditions regarding further education and employment" refers to the desired educational destination or employment destination of the user and related conditions (such as work location and working hours).

[1453] "Server" means a computer system that receives, stores, and analyzes data submitted by users and provides customized generated advice.

[1454] "Database" refers to an information storage system for storing and managing user data and feedback data received by the server.

[1455] "Generative AI" refers to an artificial intelligence model that generates optimal advice based on user data.

[1456] "Customizing" means optimizing the generated advice based on the characteristics of each organization and user feedback.

[1457] A "user interface" is a screen or device through which a user inputs data, receives advice, and provides feedback.

[1458] "Feedback" refers to information that a user sends to the server, such as their thoughts on the advice provided and suggestions for improvement.

[1459] "Robots" are automated machines that install and provide information on career advice systems.

[1460] This invention relates to a career consulting system for factory employees that applies a digital career guidance system. This system uses generative AI and an emotion engine to provide optimal career advice based on the interests, skills, desired career path, and emotional state input by the user (employee).

[1461] First, a user inputs their interests, current skills, special abilities, personality, emotions, and career aspirations and requirements from a smart terminal or interface device. For example, they might enter data such as "I want to improve my welding skills" or "I have a high motivation to work hard." The terminal then stores this data locally, formats it into a transmission format, and sends it to the server.

[1462] The server receives the data sent from the device, analyzes the data format, and stores it in a database. The received data is converted into an analytical format and provided to the emotion engine and generation AI. The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions from the received data and provides the results to the generation AI. As a specific example, the emotion engine extracts the emotional state of "high motivation to make an effort" as the analysis result.

[1463] The AI ​​begins its analysis based on the user's interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotional analysis results, and career aspirations and requirements. The AI ​​generates optimal career advice and sends it back to the server. For example, it might suggest a curriculum or course to improve specific skills to become a senior welding engineer.

[1464] The server analyzes the advice data received from the AI ​​generator and customizes the advice based on each organization's characteristics and past feedback. Specifically, it adds appropriate training programs and learning resources. This customized advice is then sent back to the device and displayed in the user interface.

[1465] Users can input feedback on the advice provided, adding information such as "I would like to know about internships related to this occupation." This feedback is sent from the device to the server and stored in a database. The AI ​​then retrains itself based on the new feedback data, improving the accuracy of its advice generation from the next time onwards.

[1466] The hardware used includes smart devices and tablets used by each user, and server systems that perform analysis and calculation processing, while the software used includes databases (e.g., MySQL or PostgreSQL), emotion engines (e.g., Google Cloud Natural Language API), and generative AI (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4).

[1467] Examples of specific prompts include:

[1468] "Interests: Welding, Current Skills: Intermediate, Desired Career Path: Senior Welder, Emotions: Highly motivated to work hard."

[1469] In this way, the system of the present invention provides optimal career advice to factory employees that takes their emotions into consideration, helping users improve their skills. Furthermore, by incorporating user feedback, the system can continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its services.

[1470] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1471] Step 1:

[1472] Users input their interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotions, and career aspirations and requirements using a smart terminal or interface device. Examples of input data include "Interests: Welding," "Skills: Intermediate," "Desired career path: Senior welding engineer," and "Emotions: Highly motivated to work hard."

[1473] Step 2:

[1474] The terminal locally stores the information entered by the user. After saving, the data is formatted for transmission and sent to the server. Here, the input is the user's information and the output is the formatted data.

[1475] Step 3:

[1476] The server receives data sent from the terminal and analyzes the data format. The analyzed data is stored in a database. The input is the received data, and the output is the data stored in the database.

[1477] Step 4:

[1478] The server converts the data stored in the database into an analytical format and provides it to the emotion engine and generation AI. The input is the data in the database, and the output is the data in the analytical format.

[1479] Step 5:

[1480] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions from the data in the analysis format. For example, it extracts the emotional state of "high motivation to make an effort." The input is the data in the analysis format, and the output is the emotion analysis result.

[1481] Step 6:

[1482] The generation AI begins analysis based on the user's interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotional analysis results, and career-related aspirations and requirements. The generation AI generates optimal career advice and sends it back to the server. For example, it might suggest "curriculum and courses for becoming a senior welding engineer." The input is user data and the results of emotional analysis, and the output is career advice.

[1483] Step 7:

[1484] The server analyzes the advice data received from the generative AI and customizes the advice based on each organization's characteristics and past feedback. For example, it adds specific training programs and learning resources. The input is career advice from the generative AI, and the output is customized advice.

[1485] Step 8:

[1486] The server sends the customized advice to the terminal and displays it to the user. The input is the customized advice, and the output is the advice displayed on the user terminal.

[1487] Step 9:

[1488] The user inputs feedback for the provided advice. For example, the user adds a comment such as, "I would like to know about internship information related to this occupation." The input is the user's feedback, and the output is the transmission of the feedback data by the terminal.

[1489] Step 10:

[1490] The terminal sends the user's feedback to the server and stores it in a database. The input is the feedback data, and the output is the storage in the database.

[1491] Step 11:

[1492] The server provides feedback data to the AI ​​generator, which then retrains based on the new data. This improves the accuracy of advice generation from the next time onwards. The input is the feedback data, and the output is an improved algorithm of the AI ​​generator.

[1493] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[1494] 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.

[1495] 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 headset type terminal 314.

[1578] In this way, the system provides users with specific, personalized career advice and incorporates feedback to continuously improve the service.

[1579] Example 1

[1580] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1581] There is a need for a method to provide specific, individualized career advice quickly and accurately to high school students struggling with career choices. Traditional career guidance relies on the experience and subjectivity of teachers and counselors, and can lack consistency for all students. Another problem is that it is difficult to customize advice to reflect the characteristics of a specific school or feedback from the career guidance office. Furthermore, there is a lack of a way to incorporate student feedback in real time and improve the accuracy of career advice.

[1582] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1583] In this invention, the server includes a means for receiving user data and storing it in a database, a means for converting the received data into an analyzable format and providing it to the generative AI model, and a means for receiving advice generated by the generative AI model and customizing it based on the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office. This allows high school students to receive specific and personalized career advice, significantly reducing the burden of career choice. Customization based on feedback from the career guidance office is also possible, reducing the burden on teachers and counselors. Furthermore, by reflecting student feedback in real time and updating the learning data of the generative AI model, the accuracy of advice can be improved.

[1584] "Users" refers to those who use the system to receive career advice, such as high school students.

[1585] "Interests" refer to the academic subjects or fields of activity in which a user is particularly interested.

[1586] "Academic ability" refers to an indicator that shows a user's academic performance and level of knowledge.

[1587] "Special skills" refer to skills or abilities that a user has that are particularly superior to others.

[1588] "Personality" refers to a user's personal characteristics and behavioral traits.

[1589] "Hope and conditions" refers to the hopes and constraints that the user has regarding future education or employment.

[1590] "Terminal" refers to a device such as a smartphone or computer that a user uses to input data and communicate with a server or generative AI model.

[1591] "Server" refers to the computer system that receives, analyzes, and provides data submitted by users to the generative AI model.

[1592] "Database" refers to a storage device for storing user input data, generated advice, feedback, etc.

[1593] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates optimal career advice based on data such as a user's interests and academic ability.

[1594] "Advice" refers to the advisory information generated by the generative AI model regarding the user's best future career, further education, expected annual income, points to note, etc.

[1595] "Feedback" refers to opinions and requests made by users in response to advice provided.

[1596] "Customization" refers to adjusting the generated advice to take into account the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office.

[1597] "Display" refers to visually presenting the customized advice on the device screen.

[1598] This invention relates to a digital career guidance system that helps high school students resolve their concerns about their career choices. This system uses a generative AI model to provide optimal career advice based on user (high school student) inputs of their interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and requirements for further education and employment, and improves the accuracy of the system based on feedback.

[1599] First, a user uses a device such as a smartphone or PC to input their interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and conditions regarding further education and employment. For example, User A inputs his / her interests as "biology," academic ability as "high," special skills as "experiment," personality as "curious," and desired education as "medical school."

[1600] Next, the device receives input data from the user, converts it into the required format (e.g., JSON format), and sends it to the server, which receives the data and stores it in a database. The server then formats the data into an analyzable format and provides it to the generative AI model.

[1601] The generative AI model analyzes a user's interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and conditions to generate optimal career advice. For example, it analyzes User A's data and generates the following advice: "Future occupation: doctor or researcher," "Expected annual income: 5 million yen or more from the first year," and "Caution: Be careful of long working hours and excessive stress."

[1602] The generated advice is returned to the server and customized based on the characteristics of the school and feedback from the career guidance office. For example, advice optimized for User A is created based on the school's designated recommendation quota and local characteristics.

[1603] The server sends the customized advice to the user's terminal, which displays the advice, allowing the user to review the advice and use it to help them choose their own path.

[1604] The user can also input feedback on the advice provided, for example, "I would like information on scholarships related to this occupation." The terminal then sends this feedback back to the server, which then stores it in a database.

[1605] Finally, the generative AI model retrains based on new feedback data to improve the accuracy of future advice. In this way, the system of the present invention enables high school students to receive specific and realistic career advice optimized for their individual characteristics, significantly reducing the stress of career choice. It also reduces the burden on career guidance offices, enabling more students to receive highly accurate individualized guidance.

[1606] (Example of a prompt)

[1607] As a concrete example, let's use the following prompt: "If User A enters interests: biology, academic ability: high, special skills: experimentation, personality: curious, and educational aspirations: medical school, provide the best career advice."

[1608] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1609] Step 1:

[1610] User data entry

[1611] Using a device (such as a smartphone or PC), the user inputs their interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and hopes and requirements regarding further education and employment. Specifically, the user inputs information such as "Interests: Biology," "Academic ability: High," "Special skills: Experiments," "Personality: Very curious," and "Aspirations for further education: Medical school" into the device's input form. The input data is entered in "text format," for example.

[1612] Input: Data such as user interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, and educational aspirations

[1613] Output: Input data formatted on the terminal

[1614] Step 2:

[1615] Data transmission by the terminal

[1616] The device internally converts the collected user data into an appropriate format (for example, JSON format). After conversion, the device sends this data to a server via the Internet. As a specific example, User A's data is converted into a JSON-formatted string and sent as "{"interest": "biology", "academic_level": "high", "skills": "experiment", "personality": "curious", "education_wish": "medical school"}".

[1617] Input: formatted user data

[1618] Output: JSON format data sent to the server

[1619] Step 3:

[1620] Data reception by the server

[1621] The server receives the data sent from the device. Specifically, the server's data reception API is called and the received data is saved in the appropriate database.

[1622] Input: User data in JSON format

[1623] Output: User data stored in the database

[1624] Step 4:

[1625] Data formatting and provision by the server

[1626] The server then formats the received data into an analyzable format, extracting it from the database, splitting it into fields, and cleansing the data as needed.Then, it provides the formatted data to the generative AI model.

[1627] Input: User data in the database

For example, it suggests a career path such as "software engineer" to User B and generates advice including expected annual salary and points to note. This generated advice is then sent back to the server.

[1897] Input: Emotion data provided by the emotion engine, other user data provided by the server.

[1898] Output: The generated career advice data.

[1899] Step 7:

[1900] Server behavior:

[1901] The server analyzes and customizes the career advice data received from the generation AI. Specifically, it adjusts the advice content to match feedback from the career guidance office and the characteristics of the university. For example, it adds information about specific university recommendation programs and regional specializations. This customized advice data is then sent to the device.

[1902] Input: Career advice data received from the generation AI.

[1903] Output: Customized career advice data.

[1904] Step 8:

[1905] Terminal behavior:

[1906] The device receives the customized advice data sent from the server and displays it in a user interface. Specifically, it uses a responsive design, displaying advice content according to the screen size of a smartphone or PC. Graphics and charts may be used to make the advice easier for users to understand intuitively.

[1907] Input: Customized advice data sent from the server.

[1908] Output: Career advice displayed in the user interface.

[1909] Step 9:

[1910] User Action:

[1911] The user inputs feedback on the advice provided, for example, a request or opinion such as "I would like to know more about internships related to this occupation."

[1912] Input: Feedback on career advice provided.

[1913] Output: The feedback data is saved to the device.

[1914] Step 10:

[1915] Terminal behavior:

[1916] The terminal formats the user's feedback data and sends it back to the server, where the feedback data is an important factor for subsequent advice generation.

[1917] Input: User feedback data.

[1918] Output: The formatted feedback data is sent to the server.

[1919] Step 11:

[1920] Server behavior:

[1921] The server receives the feedback data, stores it in a database, and provides it to the generation AI to update the advice generation algorithm.

[1922] Input: Formatted feedback data.

[1923] Output: Feedback data stored in a database, providing feedback to the generative AI.

[1924] Step 12:

[1925] Generative AI behavior:

[1926] The AI ​​will retrain based on new feedback data to improve the accuracy of future career advice generation. For example, based on the feedback, it will be able to include internship information in the next advice.

[1927] Input: Feedback data provided by the server.

[1928] Output: The updated advice generation algorithm.

[1929] (Application example 2)

[1930] 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."

[1931] In factories and industrial sites, improving employees' skills and choosing career paths is important, but providing individual advice that takes into account the characteristics and feelings of each employee is difficult. Furthermore, there are currently no effective ways to provide advice on the skills and careers that employees need. To solve these issues, a system is needed that can accurately grasp employees' interests, current skills, desired career paths, and motivation for skill improvement, and provide optimal advice.

[1932] 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.

[1933] In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting a user's interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, emotions, and hopes and requirements regarding further education and employment; means for transmitting the input data to the server; means for the server to receive the data and store it in a database; means for providing the data to a generation AI and generating advice on the user's optimal future career, future education, expected annual income, points to note, etc.; means for the server to receive the generated advice and customize it to suit the characteristics of each organization; means for transmitting the customized advice to a terminal and displaying it to the user; means for transmitting user feedback on the advice back to the server and reflecting it in the learning data of the generation AI; means for the user to input and provide the feedback using a smart terminal; and means for installing the system on a robot to provide career advice to factory employees. This enables personalized advice that takes into account the characteristics and emotions of each employee.

[1934] A "user" is a person or employee who uses the system to input information about interests, academic ability, special skills, personality, emotions, and hopes and conditions regarding further education or employment.

[1935] "Interests" refers to information about areas or activities in which a user is particularly interested.

[1936] "Academic ability" refers to information indicating the user's current educational level and learning progress.

[1937] "Special skills" refers to information about skills or abilities that a user excels at compared to others.

[1938] "Personality" refers to internal characteristics that indicate a user's tendencies in behavior and reactions.

[1939] "Emotion" refers to information that indicates the user's psychological state or sensation at that time.

[1940] "Aspirations and conditions regarding further education and employment" refers to the desired educational destination or employment destination of the user and related conditions (such as work location and working hours).

[1941] "Server" means a computer system that receives, stores, and analyzes data submitted by users and provides customized generated advice.

[1942] "Database" refers to an information storage system for storing and managing user data and feedback data received by the server.

[1943] "Generative AI" refers to an artificial intelligence model that generates optimal advice based on user data.

[1944] "Customizing" means optimizing the generated advice based on the characteristics of each organization and user feedback.

[1945] A "user interface" is a screen or device through which a user inputs data, receives advice, and provides feedback.

[1946] "Feedback" refers to information that a user sends to the server, such as their thoughts on the advice provided and suggestions for improvement.

[1947] "Robots" are automated machines that install and provide information on career advice systems.

[1948] This invention relates to a career consulting system for factory employees that applies a digital career guidance system. This system uses generative AI and an emotion engine to provide optimal career advice based on the interests, skills, desired career path, and emotional state input by the user (employee).

[1949] First, a user inputs their interests, current skills, special abilities, personality, emotions, and career aspirations and requirements from a smart terminal or interface device. For example, they might enter data such as "I want to improve my welding skills" or "I have a high motivation to work hard." The terminal then stores this data locally, formats it into a transmission format, and sends it to the server.

[1950] The server receives the data sent from the device, analyzes the data format, and stores it in a database. The received data is converted into an analytical format and provided to the emotion engine and generation AI. The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions from the received data and provides the results to the generation AI. As a specific example, the emotion engine extracts the emotional state of "high motivation to make an effort" as the analysis result.

[1951] The AI ​​begins its analysis based on the user's interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotional analysis results, and career aspirations and requirements. The AI ​​generates optimal career advice and sends it back to the server. For example, it might suggest a curriculum or course to improve specific skills to become a senior welding engineer.

[1952] The server analyzes the advice data received from the AI ​​generator and customizes the advice based on each organization's characteristics and past feedback. Specifically, it adds appropriate training programs and learning resources. This customized advice is then sent back to the device and displayed in the user interface.

[1953] Users can input feedback on the advice provided, adding information such as "I would like to know about internships related to this occupation." This feedback is sent from the device to the server and stored in a database. The AI ​​then retrains itself based on the new feedback data, improving the accuracy of its advice generation from the next time onwards.

[1954] The hardware used includes smart devices and tablets used by each user, and server systems that perform analysis and calculation processing, while the software used includes databases (e.g., MySQL or PostgreSQL), emotion engines (e.g., Google Cloud Natural Language API), and generative AI (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4).

[1955] Examples of specific prompts include:

[1956] "Interests: Welding, Current Skills: Intermediate, Desired Career Path: Senior Welder, Emotions: Highly motivated to work hard."

[1957] In this way, the system of the present invention provides optimal career advice to factory employees that takes their emotions into consideration, helping users improve their skills. Furthermore, by incorporating user feedback, the system can continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its services.

[1958] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1959] Step 1:

[1960] Users input their interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotions, and career aspirations and requirements using a smart terminal or interface device. Examples of input data include "Interests: Welding," "Skills: Intermediate," "Desired career path: Senior welding engineer," and "Emotions: Highly motivated to work hard."

[1961] Step 2:

[1962] The terminal locally stores the information entered by the user. After saving, the data is formatted for transmission and sent to the server. Here, the input is the user's information and the output is the formatted data.

[1963] Step 3:

[1964] The server receives data sent from the terminal and analyzes the data format. The analyzed data is stored in a database. The input is the received data, and the output is the data stored in the database.

[1965] Step 4:

[1966] The server converts the data stored in the database into an analytical format and provides it to the emotion engine and generation AI. The input is the data in the database, and the output is the data in the analytical format.

[1967] Step 5:

[1968] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions from the data in the analysis format. For example, it extracts the emotional state of "high motivation to make an effort." The input is the data in the analysis format, and the output is the emotion analysis result.

[1969] Step 6:

[1970] The generation AI begins analysis based on the user's interests, skills, special abilities, personality, emotional analysis results, and career-related aspirations and requirements. The generation AI generates optimal career advice and sends it back to the server. For example, it might suggest "curriculum and courses for becoming a senior welding engineer." The input is user data and the results of emotional analysis, and the output is career advice.

[1971] Step 7:

[1972] The server analyzes the advice data received from the generative AI and customizes the advice based on each organization's characteristics and past feedback. For example, it adds specific training programs and learning resources. The input is career advice from the generative AI, and the output is customized advice.

[1973] Step 8:

[1974] The server sends the customized advice to the terminal and displays it to the user. The input is the customized advice, and the output is the advice displayed on the user terminal.

[1975] Step 9:

[1976] The user inputs feedback for the provided advice. For example, the user adds a comment such as, "I would like to know about internship information related to this occupation." The input is the user's feedback, and the output is the transmission of the feedback data by the terminal.

[1977] Step 10:

[1978] The terminal sends the user's feedback to the server and stores it in a database. The input is the feedback data, and the output is the storage in the database.

[1979] Step 11:

[1980] The server provides feedback data to the AI ​​generator, which then retrains based on the new data. This improves the accuracy of advice generation from the next time onwards. The input is the feedback data, and the output is an improved algorithm of the AI ​​generator.

[1981] 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.

[1982] 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.

[1983] 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.

[1984] 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.

[1985] 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.

[1986] 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.

[1987] 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).

[1988] 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.

[1989] 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."

[1990] 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.

[1991] 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).

[1992] 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.

[1993] 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.

[1994] 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.

[1995] 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.

[1996] 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.

[1997] 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.

[1998] 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.

[1999] 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 steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
