[0213] 3. Generative Model
[0214] This model analyzes the content of the received question and creates an appropriate answer, using natural language processing technology.
[0215] For example, it generates real-time answers to food delivery questions about delivery status and order details.
[0216] 4. Database
[0217] The generated answers and questions are recorded and used to improve subsequent questions.
[0218] It acts as a database for learning whether questions and answers are appropriate.
[0219] Data processing and calculation
[0220] When a user types and sends a question into their device, the question is sent to the server as an HTTP request. The server receives the question and passes it to a generative model. This generative model analyzes the question using natural language processing technology and has the means to process inquiries about food delivery services and provide answers in real time. The generated answer is formatted by the server and sent to the user's device as an HTTP response. The user's device can receive and display this answer.
[0221] Specific examples
[0222] A user types a question into the app: "Does the salad I ordered include dressing?"
[0223] Example prompt sentence:
[0224] User: "Does the salad I ordered include dressing?"
[0225] System: "Your current order includes dressing. Depending on the salad type, French dressing is standard. If you need other options, you can add them from your order history."
[0226] In this way, users can receive appropriate answers in real time through the app, which will increase customer satisfaction and improve the reliability of food delivery services.
[0227] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0228] Step 1:
[0229] The user launches the "Delivers Assistant" app and enters a question. The entered question is displayed as text in the app.
[0230] Step 2:
[0231] When the user presses the send button, the terminal sends the question to the server as an HTTP request. The input is the user's question text, and the output is the HTTP request sent to the server.
[0232] Step 3:
[0233] The server receives an HTTP request and passes it to the generative model to analyze the question. The input is the text data received as the HTTP request, and the output is the input data to the generative model.
[0234] Step 4:
[0235] A generative model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4) analyzes the question and generates an appropriate answer. The input is the text data of the question, and the output is the text data of the generated answer.
[0236] Step 5:
[0237] The server receives the generated answer, formats it, and generates an HTTP response. The input is the answer data from the generative model, and the output is an HTTP response containing the formatted answer data.
[0238] Step 6:
[0239] The server sends an HTTP response to the terminal. The input is the formatted response data, and the output is the HTTP response sent to the terminal.
[0240] Step 7:
[0241] The terminal receives the HTTP response, parses the response, and displays it in a user interface. The input is the received HTTP response, and the output is the response text that is displayed to the user.
[0242] Step 8:
[0243] The user confirms the displayed answer. Specifically, they read the answer displayed on the smartphone screen and enter additional questions if necessary. The input is the answer text that the user confirms, and the output is the next action depending on the situation.
[0244] Through these steps, users can get quick and accurate answers to their food delivery questions.
[0245] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0246] The present invention relates to a system that allows users to input questions about smartphones and provides real-time and accurate answers to those questions. Furthermore, this system is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and generates optimal answers based on the user's emotions.
[0247] This system is composed of a device used by the user, a server that analyzes the content of the question and generates an answer, and a generative model and emotion engine at its core. The user uses the device to input a question about their smartphone. For example, they can input, "How can I extend the battery life of my iPhone?"
[0248] The device receives the question entered by the user and sends it to the server. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the question as well as the emotional data at the time of the user's input. The server passes the received question and emotional data to a generative model, which uses these to generate an appropriate answer. This generated answer is formatted by the server and sent back to the device. The device displays the received answer to the user. The emotional data recognized by the emotion engine is also recorded in a database and used to improve subsequent questions.
[0249] This will be explained with specific examples.
[0250] Example 1: iPhone battery life question
[0251] 1. A user types "How do I extend my iPhone's battery life?" into their device.

[0253] 3. The device sends the question and emotion data to the server.
[0254] 4. The server passes the question and emotion data to the generative model, which then generates an answer such as "adjust the screen brightness appropriately, prevent unnecessary apps from running in the background, and use battery optimization features."
[0255] 5. If the emotion engine detects that the user is frustrated, the generative model adjusts the tone of the response to be more toned down.
[0256] 6. The server sends the generated answer to the terminal, which displays it to the user.
[0257] 7. The user checks the displayed answers.
[0258] 8. The user's emotion data recognized by the emotion engine is recorded in a database and used to improve the accuracy of subsequent questions.

[0314] Example 2
[0315] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0316] Conventional question-answering systems provide answers without considering the user's emotions, which can result in a poor user experience. Furthermore, it is difficult to understand the relationship between the content of the question entered by the user and the user's emotions and provide an accurate answer. This leads to the problem of not being able to provide the information the user is looking for quickly and appropriately.
[0317] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0318] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting a question entered by a user, means for collecting emotion data related to the question, means for generating an appropriate answer using a generative model that analyzes the accepted question and the emotion data, means for adjusting the generated answer in accordance with the user's emotion, means for sending and displaying the adjusted answer to the user, and means for recording the emotion data in a database and using it to improve subsequent questions. This allows for the provision of an appropriate response in accordance with the user's emotion, thereby improving the user experience and satisfaction.
[0319] "Question content" refers to the specific questions or requests that the user inputs to the system.
[0320] "Emotion data" refers to data relating to the user's emotional state obtained from facial expressions, tone of voice, and the like.
[0321] A "generative model" refers to an algorithm or machine learning model that generates appropriate answers based on the input question and emotional data.
[0322] The "server" refers to a central processing unit that receives the question content and emotion data, generates an answer using a generative model, and transmits it to the user after adjustment.
[0323] "Terminal" refers to a device through which a user can enter questions and receive and display generated answers.
[0324] An "emotion engine" refers to software or hardware that analyzes a user's emotions from their facial expressions and tone of voice and outputs the results as data.
[0325] "Database" refers to an information management system that stores the generated emotional data and answers and uses them to improve the accuracy of answers to subsequent questions.
[0326] "HTTP request" refers to the communication protocol that allows a device to send question content and emotional data to a server.
[0327] "HTTP response" refers to a communication protocol that allows a server to send a generated response to a terminal.
[0328] "Formatting" refers to the process of adjusting the generated answers into a form that is easy for the user to understand.
[0329] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0330] This invention relates to a system that allows users to input questions about smartphones and provides accurate answers in real time. Furthermore, this system is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and generates optimal answers based on the user's emotions. The system is comprised of a device used by the user, a server that analyzes the question content and generates answers, and a generative model and emotion engine at its core.
[0331] A user uses a device to input a question about their smartphone. For example, they can input a question such as, "How can I extend the battery life of my iPhone?" The device receives the question input by the user and sends it to the server. At the same time, the emotion engine recognizes emotional data such as the user's facial expressions and tone of voice using the device's built-in camera and microphone. The recognized emotional data is also sent to the server.
[0332] The server receives and analyzes the emotional data along with the question content. The question content and emotional data extracted through the analysis are passed to a generative AI model. The generative AI model analyzes the question content using, for example, natural language processing (NLP) technology and generates an appropriate answer based on that analysis. Furthermore, the emotion engine refers to the emotional data analyzed and adjusts the tone and content to match the user's emotions.
[0333] The generated answer is formatted by the server and sent back to the device, where it is displayed to the user. The emotion data recognized by the emotion engine is also recorded in a database and used to improve subsequent questions.
[0334] Specific examples are shown below.
[0335] Example 1: iPhone battery life question
[0336] 1. A user types "How do I extend my iPhone's battery life?" into their device.
[0337] 2. Using the device's built-in camera and microphone, the emotion engine recognizes emotional data such as the user's facial expressions and tone of voice.
[0338] 3. The device sends the question and emotion data to the server.
[0339] 4. The server passes the question and emotion data to the generative model, which then generates an answer such as "adjust the screen brightness appropriately, prevent unnecessary apps from running in the background, and use battery optimization features."
[0340] 5. The server formats the generated response and sends it back to the terminal.
[0341] 6. The terminal displays the received answer to the user.
[0342] 7. The emotional data recognized by the emotion engine is recorded in a database and used to improve subsequent questions.
[0343] The system improves the user experience by recognizing the user's emotions using an emotion engine and providing optimal responses. The collected emotion data is also analyzed and used to improve the quality of future responses.
[0344] For example, examples of prompt sentences to input into a generative AI model include the following:
[0345] "How to extend iPhone battery life?"
[0346] "Please tell me about SoftBank's latest pricing plans."
[0347] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0348] Step 1: Ask a question
[0349] The user launches a dedicated application on the device and inputs a question. For example, they might input, "What is SoftBank's latest pricing plan?" The input question is displayed by the device's UI. The input is the user's question, and the output is the user's question displayed on a confirmation screen.
[0350] Step 2: Collecting Emotional Data
[0351] The device uses its built-in camera and microphone to detect the user's facial expressions and tone of voice. The emotion engine analyzes this data and recognizes the user's emotional state. Specifically, it uses facial expression images captured by the camera and voice recorded by the microphone as input and outputs emotional data.
[0352] Step 3: Submit your question
[0353] The device sends the question and emotion data entered by the user to the server as an HTTP request. The input is the question and emotion data, and the output is an HTTP request that includes them.
[0354] Step 4: Parse the questions and sentiment data
[0355] The server analyzes the received HTTP request and extracts the question content and emotional data. The server then passes this data to the generative AI model. Specifically, it extracts the question content and emotional data from the request and provides them to the generative AI model. The input is the HTTP request, and the output is the analysis results of the question content and emotional data.
[0356] Step 5: Answer Generation
[0357] The generative AI model generates an appropriate answer based on the question. At this time, it also takes emotional data into consideration to adjust the tone and content of the answer. For example, it generates an answer such as, "SoftBank's latest plan costs XX yen and includes XX GB of data." The input is the question and emotional data, and the output is an appropriately adjusted answer.
[0358] Step 6: Formatting your answers
[0359] The server receives the generated answer and formats it in a way that is easy for the user to understand. The tone is adjusted to a calm tone based on data from the emotion engine. The input is the answer from the generative AI model, and the output is the formatted answer.
[0360] Step 7: Submit your response
[0361] The server formats the answer and sends it to the terminal as an HTTP response, where the input is the formatted answer and the output is the generated HTTP response.
[0362] Step 8: View Answers
[0363] The terminal analyzes the response received from the server and displays it on the user interface. The user confirms the presented answer. The input is the HTTP response, and the output is the answer displayed on the user interface.
[0364] Step 9: Record and use emotional data
[0365] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion data and stores it in a database for future question answering. Specifically, the emotion data is recorded in the database and used to analyze and generate subsequent questions. The input is emotion data, and the output is a saved database entry.
[0366] (Application example 2)
[0367] 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."
[0368] In today's security services, there is a need to provide fast, accurate information in real time. However, there is a lack of means to quickly resolve the uncertainties and anxieties that security guards face while on patrol. Furthermore, systems that do not properly recognize and respond to user emotions increase the risk of misjudging the situation, resulting in increased security risks. To solve these issues, a system that takes user emotions into account and provides appropriate response instructions in real time is needed.
[0369] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for accepting a question entered by a user, means for generating an appropriate answer using a generative model that analyzes the accepted question, means for sending and displaying the generated answer to the user, and means having an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotion and adjusts the tone and content of the answer based on the emotion data. This makes it possible for security guards to receive appropriate advice in real time according to their emotions, even if they have questions or feel anxious while patrolling.
[0370] The "means for accepting the question content input by the user" is an interface for acquiring the question content input by the user through the terminal and transmitting it for subsequent processing.
[0371] A "generative model that analyzes received questions" is a machine learning model that analyzes received questions and generates appropriate answers to the questions.
[0372] The "means for transmitting and displaying the generated answer to the user" is an interface for transmitting the answer generated by the generative model to the user's terminal and displaying it.
[0373] "Means with an emotion engine that recognizes a user's emotions and adjusts the tone and content of responses based on the emotion data" refers to algorithms and functions that recognize a user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and other emotional indicators and adjust the tone and content of the generated responses based on them.
[0374] The "server that receives the question content and then transmits the question content and emotion data to the generative model" is a computer system that transmits the question content and emotion data received from the user to the generative model for analysis and answer generation.
[0375] The "terminal that displays the answer received from the server to the user" is a device that receives the answer generated by the server and displays it so that the user can confirm it visually or audibly.
[0376] "Means for recording the generated answers in a database and using them to improve answers to subsequent questions" refers to a system that stores answers generated by a generative model in a database and uses them to improve and optimize the accuracy of answers to future questions.
[0377] To implement this invention, it is necessary to build a system that accepts questions entered by users, generates appropriate answers, and transmits and displays the answers to the users. This system consists of a terminal used by the user, a server that analyzes the questions and emotion data, a generative model, and an emotion engine.
[0378] First, a user inputs a question using a device such as smart glasses. The device's camera captures the user's face, and the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion. This emotion data is then sent to the server along with the question.
[0379] The server then passes the received question and emotion data to a generative model, which then generates an appropriate answer. The generative model uses machine learning to analyze the question and generates an optimal answer. Furthermore, the tone and content of the answer are adjusted based on the user's emotion as recognized by the emotion engine.
[0380] The generated answer is formatted by the server and sent back to the user's device. The device displays the received answer to the user for confirmation. The emotion data is also recorded in a database and used to improve the accuracy of answers for subsequent questions.
[0381] As a concrete example, consider the case where a security guard using smart glasses while patrolling inputs a question such as, "If there is suspicious activity in this area, how should I respond?" The camera in the smart glasses captures the user's facial expression, and the emotion engine detects "anxiety." This question and emotion data are sent to the server, and the generative model generates the answer, "First, remain calm, immediately avoid contact with suspicious individuals, and contact backup." The emotion engine adjusts the tone of the answer, providing the user with a calm tone.
[0382] An example prompt for a generative AI model might take the form:
[0383] Question: "If there is suspicious activity in this area, how should I respond?"
[0384] Emotion data: "Impatience"
[0385] Tone of generated answer: "Calm"
[0386] In this way, the present invention realizes a system in the field of security services that provides appropriate responses in real time according to the user's emotions and supports the work of security guards.
[0387] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0388] Step 1:
[0389] The system accepts questions entered by the user. The user enters the question using the voice input function of the smart glasses. The inputs are the question text and an image of the user's facial expression.
[0390] Step 2:
[0391] The device captures the user's face and recognizes the user's emotions using an emotion engine. The input is the captured facial image, and the output is emotion data such as "impatience" or "anger." Emotion data is extracted based on an analysis of the user's facial expressions.
[0392] Step 3:
[0393] The device sends the question and emotion data to the server. The input is the question text and emotion data, which are sent to the server as an HTTP request.
[0394] Step 4:
[0395] The server receives the question content and emotion data. The input is an HTTP request sent from the device. The server analyzes this data and converts it into an input format for the generative model.
[0396] Step 5:
[0397] The server passes the received data to a generative model to generate an answer. The input is the question text and sentiment data, which the generative AI model analyzes to generate an appropriate answer. The output is the generated answer.
[0398] Step 6:
[0399] The server passes the generated answer to the emotion engine, which adjusts the tone and content of the answer based on the emotion data. The input is the generated answer and emotion data, and the output is the adjusted answer. The tone is adjusted according to the emotion.
[0400] Step 7:
[0401] The server formats the adjusted answer and sends it to the device. The input is the adjusted answer and the output is sent to the device as an HTTP response.
[0402] Step 8:
[0403] The terminal displays the answer received from the server. The input is the answer text sent from the server, and the output is displayed in a format that the user can confirm visually or audibly. The user confirms the displayed answer.
[0404] Step 9:
[0405] The emotion data collected by the emotion engine is recorded in a database. The input is the emotion data recognized by the emotion engine, and the output is the emotion data stored in the database. This is used to improve the accuracy of answers to subsequent questions.
[0406] 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.
[0407] 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.
[0408] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific process 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 process may be performed by the smart device 14.

[0712] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0713] This invention relates to a system that allows users to input questions about smartphones and provides accurate answers in real time. Furthermore, this system is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and generates optimal answers based on the user's emotions. The system is comprised of a device used by the user, a server that analyzes the question content and generates answers, and a generative model and emotion engine at its core.
[0714] A user uses a device to input a question about their smartphone. For example, they can input a question such as, "How can I extend the battery life of my iPhone?" The device receives the question input by the user and sends it to the server. At the same time, the emotion engine recognizes emotional data such as the user's facial expressions and tone of voice using the device's built-in camera and microphone. The recognized emotional data is also sent to the server.
[0715] The server receives and analyzes the emotional data along with the question content. The question content and emotional data extracted through the analysis are passed to a generative AI model. The generative AI model analyzes the question content using, for example, natural language processing (NLP) technology and generates an appropriate answer based on that analysis. Furthermore, the emotion engine refers to the emotional data analyzed and adjusts the tone and content to match the user's emotions.
[0716] The generated answer is formatted by the server and sent back to the device, where it is displayed to the user. The emotion data recognized by the emotion engine is also recorded in a database and used to improve subsequent questions.
[0717] Specific examples are shown below.
[0718] Example 1: iPhone battery life question
[0719] 1. A user types "How do I extend my iPhone's battery life?" into their device.
[0720] 2. Using the device's built-in camera and microphone, the emotion engine recognizes emotional data such as the user's facial expressions and tone of voice.
[0721] 3. The device sends the question and emotion data to the server.
[0722] 4. The server passes the question and emotion data to the generative model, which then generates an answer such as "adjust the screen brightness appropriately, prevent unnecessary apps from running in the background, and use battery optimization features."
[0723] 5. The server formats the generated response and sends it back to the terminal.
[0724] 6. The terminal displays the received answer to the user.
[0725] 7. The emotional data recognized by the emotion engine is recorded in a database and used to improve subsequent questions.
[0726] The system improves the user experience by recognizing the user's emotions using an emotion engine and providing optimal responses. The collected emotion data is also analyzed and used to improve the quality of future responses.
[0727] For example, examples of prompt sentences to input into a generative AI model include the following:
[0728] "How to extend iPhone battery life?"
[0729] "Please tell me about SoftBank's latest pricing plans."
[0730] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0731] Step 1: Ask a question
[0732] The user launches a dedicated application on the device and inputs a question. For example, they might input, "What is SoftBank's latest pricing plan?" The input question is displayed by the device's UI. The input is the user's question, and the output is the user's question displayed on a confirmation screen.
[0733] Step 2: Collecting Emotional Data
[0734] The device uses its built-in camera and microphone to detect the user's facial expressions and tone of voice. The emotion engine analyzes this data and recognizes the user's emotional state. Specifically, it uses facial expression images captured by the camera and voice recorded by the microphone as input and outputs emotional data.
[0735] Step 3: Submit your question
[0736] The device sends the question and emotion data entered by the user to the server as an HTTP request. The input is the question and emotion data, and the output is an HTTP request that includes them.
[0737] Step 4: Parse the questions and sentiment data
[0738] The server analyzes the received HTTP request and extracts the question content and emotional data. The server then passes this data to the generative AI model. Specifically, it extracts the question content and emotional data from the request and provides them to the generative AI model. The input is the HTTP request, and the output is the analysis results of the question content and emotional data.
[0739] Step 5: Answer Generation
[0740] The generative AI model generates an appropriate answer based on the question. At this time, it also takes emotional data into consideration to adjust the tone and content of the answer. For example, it generates an answer such as, "SoftBank's latest plan costs XX yen and includes XX GB of data." The input is the question and emotional data, and the output is an appropriately adjusted answer.
[0741] Step 6: Formatting your answers
[0742] The server receives the generated answer and formats it in a way that is easy for the user to understand. The tone is adjusted to a calm tone based on data from the emotion engine. The input is the answer from the generative AI model, and the output is the formatted answer.
[0743] Step 7: Submit your response
[0744] The server formats the answer and sends it to the terminal as an HTTP response, where the input is the formatted answer and the output is the generated HTTP response.
[0745] Step 8: View Answers
[0746] The terminal analyzes the response received from the server and displays it on the user interface. The user confirms the presented answer. The input is the HTTP response, and the output is the answer displayed on the user interface.
[0747] Step 9: Record and use emotional data
[0748] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion data and stores it in a database for future question answering. Specifically, the emotion data is recorded in the database and used to analyze and generate subsequent questions. The input is emotion data, and the output is a saved database entry.
[0749] (Application example 2)
[0750] 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."
[0751] In today's security services, there is a need to provide fast, accurate information in real time. However, there is a lack of means to quickly resolve the uncertainties and anxieties that security guards face while on patrol. Furthermore, systems that do not properly recognize and respond to user emotions increase the risk of misjudging the situation, resulting in increased security risks. To solve these issues, a system that takes user emotions into account and provides appropriate response instructions in real time is needed.
[0752] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for accepting a question entered by a user, means for generating an appropriate answer using a generative model that analyzes the accepted question, means for sending and displaying the generated answer to the user, and means having an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotion and adjusts the tone and content of the answer based on the emotion data. This makes it possible for security guards to receive appropriate advice in real time according to their emotions, even if they have questions or feel anxious while patrolling.
[0753] The "means for accepting the question content input by the user" is an interface for acquiring the question content input by the user through the terminal and transmitting it for subsequent processing.
[0754] A "generative model that analyzes received questions" is a machine learning model that analyzes received questions and generates appropriate answers to the questions.
[0755] The "means for transmitting and displaying the generated answer to the user" is an interface for transmitting the answer generated by the generative model to the user's terminal and displaying it.
[0756] "Means with an emotion engine that recognizes a user's emotions and adjusts the tone and content of responses based on the emotion data" refers to algorithms and functions that recognize a user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and other emotional indicators and adjust the tone and content of the generated responses based on them.
[0757] The "server that receives the question content and then transmits the question content and emotion data to the generative model" is a computer system that transmits the question content and emotion data received from the user to the generative model for analysis and answer generation.
[0758] The "terminal that displays the answer received from the server to the user" is a device that receives the answer generated by the server and displays it so that the user can confirm it visually or audibly.
[0759] "Means for recording the generated answers in a database and using them to improve answers to subsequent questions" refers to a system that stores answers generated by a generative model in a database and uses them to improve and optimize the accuracy of answers to future questions.
[0760] To implement this invention, it is necessary to build a system that accepts questions entered by users, generates appropriate answers, and transmits and displays the answers to the users. This system consists of a terminal used by the user, a server that analyzes the questions and emotion data, a generative model, and an emotion engine.
[0761] First, a user inputs a question using a device such as smart glasses. The device's camera captures the user's face, and the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion. This emotion data is then sent to the server along with the question.
[0762] The server then passes the received question and emotion data to a generative model, which then generates an appropriate answer. The generative model uses machine learning to analyze the question and generates an optimal answer. Furthermore, the tone and content of the answer are adjusted based on the user's emotion as recognized by the emotion engine.
[0763] The generated answer is formatted by the server and sent back to the user's device. The device displays the received answer to the user for confirmation. The emotion data is also recorded in a database and used to improve the accuracy of answers for subsequent questions.
[0764] As a concrete example, consider the case where a security guard using smart glasses while patrolling inputs a question such as, "If there is suspicious activity in this area, how should I respond?" The camera in the smart glasses captures the user's facial expression, and the emotion engine detects "anxiety." This question and emotion data are sent to the server, and the generative model generates the answer, "First, remain calm, immediately avoid contact with suspicious individuals, and contact backup." The emotion engine adjusts the tone of the answer, providing the user with a calm tone.
[0765] An example prompt for a generative AI model might take the form:
[0766] Question: "If there is suspicious activity in this area, how should I respond?"
[0767] Emotion data: "Impatience"
[0768] Tone of generated answer: "Calm"
[0769] In this way, the present invention realizes a system in the field of security services that provides appropriate responses in real time according to the user's emotions and supports the work of security guards.
[0770] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0771] Step 1:
[0772] The system accepts questions entered by the user. The user enters the question using the voice input function of the smart glasses. The inputs are the question text and an image of the user's facial expression.
[0773] Step 2:
[0774] The device captures the user's face and recognizes the user's emotions using an emotion engine. The input is the captured facial image, and the output is emotion data such as "impatience" or "anger." Emotion data is extracted based on an analysis of the user's facial expressions.
[0775] Step 3:
[0776] The device sends the question and emotion data to the server. The input is the question text and emotion data, which are sent to the server as an HTTP request.
[0777] Step 4:
[0778] The server receives the question content and emotion data. The input is an HTTP request sent from the device. The server analyzes this data and converts it into an input format for the generative model.
[0779] Step 5:
[0780] The server passes the received data to a generative model to generate an answer. The input is the question text and sentiment data, which the generative AI model analyzes to generate an appropriate answer. The output is the generated answer.
[0781] Step 6:
[0782] The server passes the generated answer to the emotion engine, which adjusts the tone and content of the answer based on the emotion data. The input is the generated answer and emotion data, and the output is the adjusted answer. The tone is adjusted according to the emotion.
[0783] Step 7:
[0784] The server formats the adjusted answer and sends it to the device. The input is the adjusted answer and the output is sent to the device as an HTTP response.
[0785] Step 8:
[0786] The terminal displays the answer received from the server. The input is the answer text sent from the server, and the output is displayed in a format that the user can confirm visually or audibly. The user confirms the displayed answer.
[0787] Step 9:
[0788] The emotion data collected by the emotion engine is recorded in a database. The input is the emotion data recognized by the emotion engine, and the output is the emotion data stored in the database. This is used to improve the accuracy of answers to subsequent questions.
[0789] 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.
[0790] 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.
[0791] 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.

[0998] Step 3:
[0999] The server receives an HTTP request and passes it to the generative model to analyze the question. The input is the text data received as the HTTP request, and the output is the input data to the generative model.
[1000] Step 4:
[1001] A generative model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4) analyzes the question and generates an appropriate answer. The input is the text data of the question, and the output is the text data of the generated answer.
[1002] Step 5:
[1003] The server receives the generated answer, formats it, and generates an HTTP response. The input is the answer data from the generative model, and the output is an HTTP response containing the formatted answer data.
[1004] Step 6:
[1005] The server sends an HTTP response to the terminal. The input is the formatted response data, and the output is the HTTP response sent to the terminal.
[1006] Step 7:
[1007] The terminal receives the HTTP response, parses the response, and displays it in a user interface. The input is the received HTTP response, and the output is the response text that is displayed to the user.
[1008] Step 8:
[1009] The user confirms the displayed answer. Specifically, they read the answer displayed on the smartphone screen and enter additional questions if necessary. The input is the answer text that the user confirms, and the output is the next action depending on the situation.
[1010] Through these steps, users can get quick and accurate answers to their food delivery questions.
[1011] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1012] The present invention relates to a system that allows users to input questions about smartphones and provides real-time and accurate answers to those questions. Furthermore, this system is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and generates optimal answers based on the user's emotions.
[1013] This system is composed of a device used by the user, a server that analyzes the content of the question and generates an answer, and a generative model and emotion engine at its core. The user uses the device to input a question about their smartphone. For example, they can input, "How can I extend the battery life of my iPhone?"
[1014] The device receives the question entered by the user and sends it to the server. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the question as well as the emotional data at the time of the user's input. The server passes the received question and emotional data to a generative model, which uses these to generate an appropriate answer. This generated answer is formatted by the server and sent back to the device. The device displays the received answer to the user. The emotional data recognized by the emotion engine is also recorded in a database and used to improve subsequent questions.
[1015] This will be explained with specific examples.

[1080] Example 2
[1081] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1082] Conventional question-answering systems provide answers without considering the user's emotions, which can result in a poor user experience. Furthermore, it is difficult to understand the relationship between the content of the question entered by the user and the user's emotions and provide an accurate answer. This leads to the problem of not being able to provide the information the user is looking for quickly and appropriately.
[1083] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1084] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting a question entered by a user, means for collecting emotion data related to the question, means for generating an appropriate answer using a generative model that analyzes the accepted question and the emotion data, means for adjusting the generated answer in accordance with the user's emotion, means for sending and displaying the adjusted answer to the user, and means for recording the emotion data in a database and using it to improve subsequent questions. This allows for the provision of an appropriate response in accordance with the user's emotion, thereby improving the user experience and satisfaction.

[1095] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[1096] This invention relates to a system that allows users to input questions about smartphones and provides accurate answers in real time. Furthermore, this system is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and generates optimal answers based on the user's emotions. The system is comprised of a device used by the user, a server that analyzes the question content and generates answers, and a generative model and emotion engine at its core.
[1097] A user uses a device to input a question about their smartphone. For example, they can input a question such as, "How can I extend the battery life of my iPhone?" The device receives the question input by the user and sends it to the server. At the same time, the emotion engine recognizes emotional data such as the user's facial expressions and tone of voice using the device's built-in camera and microphone. The recognized emotional data is also sent to the server.
[1098] The server receives and analyzes the emotional data along with the question content. The question content and emotional data extracted through the analysis are passed to a generative AI model. The generative AI model analyzes the question content using, for example, natural language processing (NLP) technology and generates an appropriate answer based on that analysis. Furthermore, the emotion engine refers to the emotional data analyzed and adjusts the tone and content to match the user's emotions.
[1099] The generated answer is formatted by the server and sent back to the device, where it is displayed to the user. The emotion data recognized by the emotion engine is also recorded in a database and used to improve subsequent questions.
[1100] Specific examples are shown below.
[1101] Example 1: iPhone battery life question
[1102] 1. A user types "How do I extend my iPhone's battery life?" into their device.
[1103] 2. Using the device's built-in camera and microphone, the emotion engine recognizes emotional data such as the user's facial expressions and tone of voice.
[1104] 3. The device sends the question and emotion data to the server.
[1105] 4. The server passes the question and emotion data to the generative model, which then generates an answer such as "adjust the screen brightness appropriately, prevent unnecessary apps from running in the background, and use battery optimization features."
[1106] 5. The server formats the generated response and sends it back to the terminal.
[1107] 6. The terminal displays the received answer to the user.
[1108] 7. The emotional data recognized by the emotion engine is recorded in a database and used to improve subsequent questions.
[1109] The system improves the user experience by recognizing the user's emotions using an emotion engine and providing optimal responses. The collected emotion data is also analyzed and used to improve the quality of future responses.
[1110] For example, examples of prompt sentences to input into a generative AI model include the following:
[1111] "How to extend iPhone battery life?"
[1112] "Please tell me about SoftBank's latest pricing plans."
[1113] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1114] Step 1: Ask a question
[1115] The user launches a dedicated application on the device and inputs a question. For example, they might input, "What is SoftBank's latest pricing plan?" The input question is displayed by the device's UI. The input is the user's question, and the output is the user's question displayed on a confirmation screen.
[1116] Step 2: Collecting Emotional Data
[1117] The device uses its built-in camera and microphone to detect the user's facial expressions and tone of voice. The emotion engine analyzes this data and recognizes the user's emotional state. Specifically, it uses facial expression images captured by the camera and voice recorded by the microphone as input and outputs emotional data.
[1118] Step 3: Submit your question
[1119] The device sends the question and emotion data entered by the user to the server as an HTTP request. The input is the question and emotion data, and the output is an HTTP request that includes them.
[1120] Step 4: Parse the questions and sentiment data
[1121] The server analyzes the received HTTP request and extracts the question content and emotional data. The server then passes this data to the generative AI model. Specifically, it extracts the question content and emotional data from the request and provides them to the generative AI model. The input is the HTTP request, and the output is the analysis results of the question content and emotional data.
[1122] Step 5: Answer Generation
[1123] The generative AI model generates an appropriate answer based on the question. At this time, it also takes emotional data into consideration to adjust the tone and content of the answer. For example, it generates an answer such as, "SoftBank's latest plan costs XX yen and includes XX GB of data." The input is the question and emotional data, and the output is an appropriately adjusted answer.
[1124] Step 6: Formatting your answers
[1125] The server receives the generated answer and formats it in a way that is easy for the user to understand. The tone is adjusted to a calm tone based on data from the emotion engine. The input is the answer from the generative AI model, and the output is the formatted answer.
[1126] Step 7: Submit your response
[1127] The server formats the answer and sends it to the terminal as an HTTP response, where the input is the formatted answer and the output is the generated HTTP response.
[1128] Step 8: View Answers
[1129] The terminal analyzes the response received from the server and displays it on the user interface. The user confirms the presented answer. The input is the HTTP response, and the output is the answer displayed on the user interface.
[1130] Step 9: Record and use emotional data
[1131] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion data and stores it in a database for future question answering. Specifically, the emotion data is recorded in the database and used to analyze and generate subsequent questions. The input is emotion data, and the output is a saved database entry.
[1132] (Application example 2)
[1133] 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."
[1134] In today's security services, there is a need to provide fast, accurate information in real time. However, there is a lack of means to quickly resolve the uncertainties and anxieties that security guards face while on patrol. Furthermore, systems that do not properly recognize and respond to user emotions increase the risk of misjudging the situation, resulting in increased security risks. To solve these issues, a system that takes user emotions into account and provides appropriate response instructions in real time is needed.
[1135] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for accepting a question entered by a user, means for generating an appropriate answer using a generative model that analyzes the accepted question, means for sending and displaying the generated answer to the user, and means having an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotion and adjusts the tone and content of the answer based on the emotion data. This makes it possible for security guards to receive appropriate advice in real time according to their emotions, even if they have questions or feel anxious while patrolling.
[1136] The "means for accepting the question content input by the user" is an interface for acquiring the question content input by the user through the terminal and transmitting it for subsequent processing.
[1137] A "generative model that analyzes received questions" is a machine learning model that analyzes received questions and generates appropriate answers to the questions.
[1138] The "means for transmitting and displaying the generated answer to the user" is an interface for transmitting the answer generated by the generative model to the user's terminal and displaying it.
[1139] "Means with an emotion engine that recognizes a user's emotions and adjusts the tone and content of responses based on the emotion data" refers to algorithms and functions that recognize a user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and other emotional indicators and adjust the tone and content of the generated responses based on them.
[1140] The "server that receives the question content and then transmits the question content and emotion data to the generative model" is a computer system that transmits the question content and emotion data received from the user to the generative model for analysis and answer generation.
[1141] The "terminal that displays the answer received from the server to the user" is a device that receives the answer generated by the server and displays it so that the user can confirm it visually or audibly.
[1142] "Means for recording the generated answers in a database and using them to improve answers to subsequent questions" refers to a system that stores answers generated by a generative model in a database and uses them to improve and optimize the accuracy of answers to future questions.
[1143] To implement this invention, it is necessary to build a system that accepts questions entered by users, generates appropriate answers, and transmits and displays the answers to the users. This system consists of a terminal used by the user, a server that analyzes the questions and emotion data, a generative model, and an emotion engine.
[1144] First, a user inputs a question using a device such as smart glasses. The device's camera captures the user's face, and the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion. This emotion data is then sent to the server along with the question.
[1145] The server then passes the received question and emotion data to a generative model, which then generates an appropriate answer. The generative model uses machine learning to analyze the question and generates an optimal answer. Furthermore, the tone and content of the answer are adjusted based on the user's emotion as recognized by the emotion engine.
[1146] The generated answer is formatted by the server and sent back to the user's device. The device displays the received answer to the user for confirmation. The emotion data is also recorded in a database and used to improve the accuracy of answers for subsequent questions.
[1147] As a concrete example, consider the case where a security guard using smart glasses while patrolling inputs a question such as, "If there is suspicious activity in this area, how should I respond?" The camera in the smart glasses captures the user's facial expression, and the emotion engine detects "anxiety." This question and emotion data are sent to the server, and the generative model generates the answer, "First, remain calm, immediately avoid contact with suspicious individuals, and contact backup." The emotion engine adjusts the tone of the answer, providing the user with a calm tone.
[1148] An example prompt for a generative AI model might take the form:
[1149] Question: "If there is suspicious activity in this area, how should I respond?"
[1150] Emotion data: "Impatience"
[1151] Tone of generated answer: "Calm"
[1152] In this way, the present invention realizes a system in the field of security services that provides appropriate responses in real time according to the user's emotions and supports the work of security guards.
[1153] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1154] Step 1:
[1155] The system accepts questions entered by the user. The user enters the question using the voice input function of the smart glasses. The inputs are the question text and an image of the user's facial expression.
[1156] Step 2:
[1157] The device captures the user's face and recognizes the user's emotions using an emotion engine. The input is the captured facial image, and the output is emotion data such as "impatience" or "anger." Emotion data is extracted based on an analysis of the user's facial expressions.
[1158] Step 3:
[1159] The device sends the question and emotion data to the server. The input is the question text and emotion data, which are sent to the server as an HTTP request.
[1160] Step 4:
[1161] The server receives the question content and emotion data. The input is an HTTP request sent from the device. The server analyzes this data and converts it into an input format for the generative model.
[1162] Step 5:
[1163] The server passes the received data to a generative model to generate an answer. The input is the question text and sentiment data, which the generative AI model analyzes to generate an appropriate answer. The output is the generated answer.
[1164] Step 6:
[1165] The server passes the generated answer to the emotion engine, which adjusts the tone and content of the answer based on the emotion data. The input is the generated answer and emotion data, and the output is the adjusted answer. The tone is adjusted according to the emotion.
[1166] Step 7:
[1167] The server formats the adjusted answer and sends it to the device. The input is the adjusted answer and the output is sent to the device as an HTTP response.
[1168] Step 8:
[1169] The terminal displays the answer received from the server. The input is the answer text sent from the server, and the output is displayed in a format that the user can confirm visually or audibly. The user confirms the displayed answer.
[1170] Step 9:
[1171] The emotion data collected by the emotion engine is recorded in a database. The input is the emotion data recognized by the emotion engine, and the output is the emotion data stored in the database. This is used to improve the accuracy of answers to subsequent questions.
[1172] 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.
[1173] 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.

[1383] The server receives an HTTP request and passes it to the generative model to analyze the question. The input is the text data received as the HTTP request, and the output is the input data to the generative model.
[1384] Step 4:
[1385] A generative model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4) analyzes the question and generates an appropriate answer. The input is the text data of the question, and the output is the text data of the generated answer.
[1386] Step 5:
[1387] The server receives the generated answer, formats it, and generates an HTTP response. The input is the answer data from the generative model, and the output is an HTTP response containing the formatted answer data.
[1388] Step 6:
[1389] The server sends an HTTP response to the terminal. The input is the formatted response data, and the output is the HTTP response sent to the terminal.
[1390] Step 7:
[1391] The terminal receives the HTTP response, parses the response, and displays it in a user interface. The input is the received HTTP response, and the output is the response text that is displayed to the user.
[1392] Step 8:
[1393] The user confirms the displayed answer. Specifically, they read the answer displayed on the smartphone screen and enter additional questions if necessary. The input is the answer text that the user confirms, and the output is the next action depending on the situation.
[1394] Through these steps, users can get quick and accurate answers to their food delivery questions.
[1395] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1396] The present invention relates to a system that allows users to input questions about smartphones and provides real-time and accurate answers to those questions. Furthermore, this system is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and generates optimal answers based on the user's emotions.
[1397] This system is composed of a device used by the user, a server that analyzes the content of the question and generates an answer, and a generative model and emotion engine at its core. The user uses the device to input a question about their smartphone. For example, they can input, "How can I extend the battery life of my iPhone?"
[1398] The device receives the question entered by the user and sends it to the server. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the question as well as the emotional data at the time of the user's input. The server passes the received question and emotional data to a generative model, which uses these to generate an appropriate answer. This generated answer is formatted by the server and sent back to the device. The device displays the received answer to the user. The emotional data recognized by the emotion engine is also recorded in a database and used to improve subsequent questions.
[1399] This will be explained with specific examples.
[1400] Example 1: iPhone battery life question
[1401] 1. A user types "How do I extend my iPhone's battery life?" into their device.
[1402] 2. Using the device's built-in camera and microphone, the emotion engine recognizes emotional data such as the user's facial expressions and tone of voice.
[1403] 3. The device sends the question and emotion data to the server.
[1404] 4. The server passes the question and emotion data to the generative model, which then generates an answer such as "adjust the screen brightness appropriately, prevent unnecessary apps from running in the background, and use battery optimization features."
[1405] 5. If the emotion engine detects that the user is frustrated, the generative model adjusts the tone of the response to be more toned down.
[1406] 6. The server sends the generated answer to the terminal, which displays it to the user.
[1407] 7. The user checks the displayed answers.
[1408] 8. The user's emotion data recognized by the emotion engine is recorded in a database and used to improve the accuracy of subsequent questions.

[1464] Example 2
[1465] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1466] Conventional question-answering systems provide answers without considering the user's emotions, which can result in a poor user experience. Furthermore, it is difficult to understand the relationship between the content of the question entered by the user and the user's emotions and provide an accurate answer. This leads to the problem of not being able to provide the information the user is looking for quickly and appropriately.
[1467] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1468] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting a question entered by a user, means for collecting emotion data related to the question, means for generating an appropriate answer using a generative model that analyzes the accepted question and the emotion data, means for adjusting the generated answer in accordance with the user's emotion, means for sending and displaying the adjusted answer to the user, and means for recording the emotion data in a database and using it to improve subsequent questions. This allows for the provision of an appropriate response in accordance with the user's emotion, thereby improving the user experience and satisfaction.
[1469] "Question content" refers to the specific questions or requests that the user inputs to the system.
[1470] "Emotion data" refers to data relating to the user's emotional state obtained from facial expressions, tone of voice, and the like.
[1471] A "generative model" refers to an algorithm or machine learning model that generates appropriate answers based on the input question and emotional data.
[1472] The "server" refers to a central processing unit that receives the question content and emotion data, generates an answer using a generative model, and transmits it to the user after adjustment.
[1473] "Terminal" refers to a device through which a user can enter questions and receive and display generated answers.
[1474] An "emotion engine" refers to software or hardware that analyzes a user's emotions from their facial expressions and tone of voice and outputs the results as data.
[1475] "Database" refers to an information management system that stores the generated emotional data and answers and uses them to improve the accuracy of answers to subsequent questions.
[1476] "HTTP request" refers to the communication protocol that allows a device to send question content and emotional data to a server.
[1477] "HTTP response" refers to a communication protocol that allows a server to send a generated response to a terminal.
[1478] "Formatting" refers to the process of adjusting the generated answers into a form that is easy for the user to understand.
[1479] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[1480] This invention relates to a system that allows users to input questions about smartphones and provides accurate answers in real time. Furthermore, this system is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and generates optimal answers based on the user's emotions. The system is comprised of a device used by the user, a server that analyzes the question content and generates answers, and a generative model and emotion engine at its core.
[1481] A user uses a device to input a question about their smartphone. For example, they can input a question such as, "How can I extend the battery life of my iPhone?" The device receives the question input by the user and sends it to the server. At the same time, the emotion engine recognizes emotional data such as the user's facial expressions and tone of voice using the device's built-in camera and microphone. The recognized emotional data is also sent to the server.
[1482] The server receives and analyzes the emotional data along with the question content. The question content and emotional data extracted through the analysis are passed to a generative AI model. The generative AI model analyzes the question content using, for example, natural language processing (NLP) technology and generates an appropriate answer based on that analysis. Furthermore, the emotion engine refers to the emotional data analyzed and adjusts the tone and content to match the user's emotions.
[1483] The generated answer is formatted by the server and sent back to the device, where it is displayed to the user. The emotion data recognized by the emotion engine is also recorded in a database and used to improve subsequent questions.
[1484] Specific examples are shown below.
[1485] Example 1: iPhone battery life question
[1486] 1. A user types "How do I extend my iPhone's battery life?" into their device.
[1487] 2. Using the device's built-in camera and microphone, the emotion engine recognizes emotional data such as the user's facial expressions and tone of voice.
[1488] 3. The device sends the question and emotion data to the server.
[1489] 4. The server passes the question and emotion data to the generative model, which then generates an answer such as "adjust the screen brightness appropriately, prevent unnecessary apps from running in the background, and use battery optimization features."
[1490] 5. The server formats the generated response and sends it back to the terminal.
[1491] 6. The terminal displays the received answer to the user.
[1492] 7. The emotional data recognized by the emotion engine is recorded in a database and used to improve subsequent questions.
[1493] The system improves the user experience by recognizing the user's emotions using an emotion engine and providing optimal responses. The collected emotion data is also analyzed and used to improve the quality of future responses.
[1494] For example, examples of prompt sentences to input into a generative AI model include the following:
[1495] "How to extend iPhone battery life?"
[1496] "Please tell me about SoftBank's latest pricing plans."
[1497] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1498] Step 1: Ask a question
[1499] The user launches a dedicated application on the device and inputs a question. For example, they might input, "What is SoftBank's latest pricing plan?" The input question is displayed by the device's UI. The input is the user's question, and the output is the user's question displayed on a confirmation screen.
[1500] Step 2: Collecting Emotional Data
[1501] The device uses its built-in camera and microphone to detect the user's facial expressions and tone of voice. The emotion engine analyzes this data and recognizes the user's emotional state. Specifically, it uses facial expression images captured by the camera and voice recorded by the microphone as input and outputs emotional data.
[1502] Step 3: Submit your question
[1503] The device sends the question and emotion data entered by the user to the server as an HTTP request. The input is the question and emotion data, and the output is an HTTP request that includes them.
[1504] Step 4: Parse the questions and sentiment data
[1505] The server analyzes the received HTTP request and extracts the question content and emotional data. The server then passes this data to the generative AI model. Specifically, it extracts the question content and emotional data from the request and provides them to the generative AI model. The input is the HTTP request, and the output is the analysis results of the question content and emotional data.
[1506] Step 5: Answer Generation
[1507] The generative AI model generates an appropriate answer based on the question. At this time, it also takes emotional data into consideration to adjust the tone and content of the answer. For example, it generates an answer such as, "SoftBank's latest plan costs XX yen and includes XX GB of data." The input is the question and emotional data, and the output is an appropriately adjusted answer.
[1508] Step 6: Formatting your answers
[1509] The server receives the generated answer and formats it in a way that is easy for the user to understand. The tone is adjusted to a calm tone based on data from the emotion engine. The input is the answer from the generative AI model, and the output is the formatted answer.
[1510] Step 7: Submit your response
[1511] The server formats the answer and sends it to the terminal as an HTTP response, where the input is the formatted answer and the output is the generated HTTP response.
[1512] Step 8: View Answers
[1513] The terminal analyzes the response received from the server and displays it on the user interface. The user confirms the presented answer. The input is the HTTP response, and the output is the answer displayed on the user interface.
[1514] Step 9: Record and use emotional data
[1515] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion data and stores it in a database for future question answering. Specifically, the emotion data is recorded in the database and used to analyze and generate subsequent questions. The input is emotion data, and the output is a saved database entry.
[1516] (Application example 2)
[1517] 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."
[1518] In today's security services, there is a need to provide fast, accurate information in real time. However, there is a lack of means to quickly resolve the uncertainties and anxieties that security guards face while on patrol. Furthermore, systems that do not properly recognize and respond to user emotions increase the risk of misjudging the situation, resulting in increased security risks. To solve these issues, a system that takes user emotions into account and provides appropriate response instructions in real time is needed.
[1519] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for accepting a question entered by a user, means for generating an appropriate answer using a generative model that analyzes the accepted question, means for sending and displaying the generated answer to the user, and means having an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotion and adjusts the tone and content of the answer based on the emotion data. This makes it possible for security guards to receive appropriate advice in real time according to their emotions, even if they have questions or feel anxious while patrolling.
[1520] The "means for accepting the question content input by the user" is an interface for acquiring the question content input by the user through the terminal and transmitting it for subsequent processing.
[1521] A "generative model that analyzes received questions" is a machine learning model that analyzes received questions and generates appropriate answers to the questions.
[1522] The "means for transmitting and displaying the generated answer to the user" is an interface for transmitting the answer generated by the generative model to the user's terminal and displaying it.
[1523] "Means with an emotion engine that recognizes a user's emotions and adjusts the tone and content of responses based on the emotion data" refers to algorithms and functions that recognize a user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and other emotional indicators and adjust the tone and content of the generated responses based on them.
[1524] The "server that receives the question content and then transmits the question content and emotion data to the generative model" is a computer system that transmits the question content and emotion data received from the user to the generative model for analysis and answer generation.
[1525] The "terminal that displays the answer received from the server to the user" is a device that receives the answer generated by the server and displays it so that the user can confirm it visually or audibly.
[1526] "Means for recording the generated answers in a database and using them to improve answers to subsequent questions" refers to a system that stores answers generated by a generative model in a database and uses them to improve and optimize the accuracy of answers to future questions.
[1527] To implement this invention, it is necessary to build a system that accepts questions entered by users, generates appropriate answers, and transmits and displays the answers to the users. This system consists of a terminal used by the user, a server that analyzes the questions and emotion data, a generative model, and an emotion engine.
[1528] First, a user inputs a question using a device such as smart glasses. The device's camera captures the user's face, and the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion. This emotion data is then sent to the server along with the question.
[1529] The server then passes the received question and emotion data to a generative model, which then generates an appropriate answer. The generative model uses machine learning to analyze the question and generates an optimal answer. Furthermore, the tone and content of the answer are adjusted based on the user's emotion as recognized by the emotion engine.
[1530] The generated answer is formatted by the server and sent back to the user's device. The device displays the received answer to the user for confirmation. The emotion data is also recorded in a database and used to improve the accuracy of answers for subsequent questions.
[1531] As a concrete example, consider the case where a security guard using smart glasses while patrolling inputs a question such as, "If there is suspicious activity in this area, how should I respond?" The camera in the smart glasses captures the user's facial expression, and the emotion engine detects "anxiety." This question and emotion data are sent to the server, and the generative model generates the answer, "First, remain calm, immediately avoid contact with suspicious individuals, and contact backup." The emotion engine adjusts the tone of the answer, providing the user with a calm tone.
[1532] An example prompt for a generative AI model might take the form:
[1533] Question: "If there is suspicious activity in this area, how should I respond?"
[1534] Emotion data: "Impatience"
[1535] Tone of generated answer: "Calm"
[1536] In this way, the present invention realizes a system in the field of security services that provides appropriate responses in real time according to the user's emotions and supports the work of security guards.
[1537] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1538] Step 1:
[1539] The system accepts questions entered by the user. The user enters the question using the voice input function of the smart glasses. The inputs are the question text and an image of the user's facial expression.
[1540] Step 2:
[1541] The device captures the user's face and recognizes the user's emotions using an emotion engine. The input is the captured facial image, and the output is emotion data such as "impatience" or "anger." Emotion data is extracted based on an analysis of the user's facial expressions.
[1542] Step 3:
[1543] The device sends the question and emotion data to the server. The input is the question text and emotion data, which are sent to the server as an HTTP request.
[1544] Step 4:
[1545] The server receives the question content and emotion data. The input is an HTTP request sent from the device. The server analyzes this data and converts it into an input format for the generative model.
[1546] Step 5:
[1547] The server passes the received data to a generative model to generate an answer. The input is the question text and sentiment data, which the generative AI model analyzes to generate an appropriate answer. The output is the generated answer.
[1548] Step 6:
[1549] The server passes the generated answer to the emotion engine, which adjusts the tone and content of the answer based on the emotion data. The input is the generated answer and emotion data, and the output is the adjusted answer. The tone is adjusted according to the emotion.
[1550] Step 7:
[1551] The server formats the adjusted answer and sends it to the device. The input is the adjusted answer and the output is sent to the device as an HTTP response.
[1552] Step 8:
[1553] The terminal displays the answer received from the server. The input is the answer text sent from the server, and the output is displayed in a format that the user can confirm visually or audibly. The user confirms the displayed answer.
[1554] Step 9:
[1555] The emotion data collected by the emotion engine is recorded in a database. The input is the emotion data recognized by the emotion engine, and the output is the emotion data stored in the database. This is used to improve the accuracy of answers to subsequent questions.
[1556] 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.
[1557] 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.
[1558] 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.
[1559] 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.
[1560] 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.
[1561] 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.
[1562] 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).
[1563] 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.
[1564] 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."
[1565] 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.
[1566] 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).
[1567] 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.
[1568] 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.
[1569] 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.
[1570] 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.
[1571] 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.
[1572] 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.
[1573] 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.
[1574] 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.
