[0121] Example 1

[0122] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0123] In the past, it was often time-consuming and required specialized knowledge for users to obtain the perfect profile picture for use in online meetings or emails. In particular, when editing images themselves, it was often difficult to adjust the appropriate brightness, background color, contrast, etc., resulting in a lack of a professional impression. An effective and easy-to-use system to solve these problems is needed.

[0124] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0125] In this invention, the server includes a means for users to upload their own electronic images, a means for users to input their occupation, job title, and age, and a means for the generative AI model to process the electronic images based on these parameters, thereby enabling users to easily generate their own profile pictures in an optimal form.

[0126] A "user" is a person who uses the system and uploads an electronic image of himself or herself and enters his or her occupation, job title, and age.

[0127] "Server" means a computing device that processes information received from users, stores it in a data storage device, and utilizes generative AI models to manipulate electronic images.

[0128] "Electronic images" refer to photographic data uploaded by users to the system and used as profile images for online meeting tools and email.

[0129] "Occupation" refers to information that indicates the industry or occupation in which the user is engaged.

[0130] "Position" refers to information that indicates a user's job position or title.

[0131] "Age" refers to information indicating the user's age.

[0132] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that performs optimal image processing based on uploaded electronic images and user input.

[0133] "Image processing parameters" are the settings or conditions used by a generative AI model to process an electronic image, including brightness, background color, contrast, etc.

[0134] "Data storage device" means storage for electronic images and input information received from users, and electronic images processed by generative AI models.

[0135] This invention is a system in which a user uploads their own digital image and inputs their occupation, job title, and age, and a generative AI model generates and provides the most suitable image. This system is mainly composed of three parties: a server, a terminal, and the user.

[0136] First, a user logs in to the system and uploads their own electronic image. The user can easily perform operations through the system interface. The terminal provides an interface for uploading photos and sends the electronic image selected by the user to the server. The server validates the received electronic image and stores it in a data storage device.

[0137] Next, the terminal provides the user with an input form for information such as occupation, position, age, etc. The user enters this information and submits it. The terminal then transmits the input information to the server, which stores it in a data storage device.

[0138] The server retrieves the user's digital image and input information from the data storage device and determines image processing parameters based on the user's occupation, position, and age. For example, if the occupation is "sales," the position is "person in charge," and the age is "30," the parameters set are "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast."

[0139] The server then inputs the digital image along with the determined parameters into a generative AI model, which then performs image analysis and processing using libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. This includes adjusting brightness, changing background colors, and enhancing contrast.

[0140] The server receives the electronic images processed by the generative AI model and stores them again in the data storage device. The user can log in to the system again and check the processed electronic images. The terminal displays the processed images to the user and provides a download function. The user can download the images as needed and use them in online meeting tools or email.

[0141] Specific examples

[0142] For example, a sales user (30 years old) logs in to the system and uploads three photos. The user enters their occupation as "sales," their position as "responsible," and their age as "30." The server stores this information in a data storage device and determines the parameters for "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast" based on the industry, position, and age information. The generative AI model processes the photos based on these settings, generating an image with, for example, increased brightness, a bright background, and enhanced facial contrast. The server then stores the processed electronic images in a data storage device, and the user can log in again to review the images and download them if necessary.

[0143] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0144] "Improve your sales profile photo. I have three photos. I'm 30 years old. Safely adjust the brightness, background, and contrast accordingly."

[0145] The system allows users to easily get the best profile picture possible, creating a professional impression in online meetings and emails.

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

[0147] Step 1: The user logs in to the system and accesses the photo upload screen. The terminal displays a file input field and provides an interface for the user to select a photo. When the user selects a photo and presses the "Upload" button, the terminal sends the photo data to the server. The input is the user's photo file, and the output is the transmission result to the server. The server validates the received photo and saves it in the data storage device.

[0148] Step 2: The user accesses a screen to input occupation, position, and age information. The terminal displays a form for inputting this information, allowing the user to enter data. The terminal sends the input information to the server. The input is occupation, position, and age information, and the output is the transmission result to the server. The server saves the received information in a data storage device.

[0149] Step 3: The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the data storage device. Using SQL queries or similar, the server retrieves the stored photo and information on occupation, position, and age. The input is the stored data record, and the output is the retrieved data. The server determines the image processing parameters based on this information. For example, for a sales representative (age 30), the parameters set are "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast."

[0150] Step 4: The server inputs the determined image processing parameters and the user's photo into the generative AI model. The generative AI model analyzes and processes the photo based on these parameters. The input is the image processing parameters and photo data, and the output is the processed photo data. Specifically, the generative AI model adjusts brightness, changes the background color, and enhances contrast.

[0151] Step 5: The server receives the processed photo returned by the generative AI model and stores it in the data storage device. The server re-encodes the processed photo data, stores it in cloud storage, and adds its URL to the data record. The input is the processed photo data, and the output is the result of the storage completion.

[0152] Step 6: The user logs in to the system again to view the edited photo. The device requests the edited photo data from the server and displays it. The user can download the photo if needed. The input is the user request, and the output is the edited photo data. The device generates a download link, allowing the user to download the photo.

[0176] The server determines image processing parameters (brightness, background, contrast, etc.) based on the user's industry, job title, and age information, which is obtained from a database.

[0177] 4. AI-based image analysis and processing functions

[0178] The server inputs the determined parameters and the photo into the AI ​​model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and performs optimal processing based on the parameters.

[0179] 5. Image provision function

[0180] The processed photos are stored on a server and can be accessed by users via their devices to view and download them.

[0181] Promotional images can also be provided for display on smart displays in physical stores.

[0182] Hardware and software used

[0183] 1. Server: Stores, processes, and analyzes data. For processing functions, we use cloud computing services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS).

[0184] 2. Device: Use an internet-enabled device such as a smartphone or tablet to upload photos and enter information.

[0185] 3. AI model: For image analysis and processing, we use machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, which allow us to properly analyze the input image and generate the optimal promotional image.

[0186] Examples and prompts

[0187] For example, suppose a 25-year-old salesperson working at an apparel store wants to generate promotional images for the store's smart displays. In this case, the user would follow the steps below:

[0188] 1. Users take a photo of themselves using their smartphone and upload it to the system.

[0189] 2. The user enters the industry as "apparel," the job title as "store clerk," and the age as "25."

[0190] 3. Based on the input information, the server determines that the brightness should be set to 1.2 times, the background to a fashion-themed image, and the contrast to 1.5 times.

[0191] 4. The AI ​​model runs these settings and generates the edited photo.

[0192] 5. The user can review the edited photo and download it to display on their smart display.

[0193] Example prompt sentence:

[0194] "Based on the photo uploaded by the user, the industry "Apparel", job title "Store Clerk", and age "25", set a bright background image and adjust the photo brightness by 1.2 times and the contrast by 1.5 times."

[0195] This makes it possible to quickly generate and use effective promotional images even in physical stores.

[0196] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0197] Step 1:

[0198] The user takes and uploads their own photo using the device. The device provides a photo upload interface and sends the photo selected by the user to the server. The input is the user's photo, and the output is a photo file stored on the server.

[0199] Step 2:

[0200] The user inputs their industry, job title, and age through the terminal. The terminal displays an input form for industry, job title, and age, and when the user enters the information, it sends the data to the server. The input is the user's industry, job title, and age information, and the output is that information saved on the server.

[0201] Step 3:

[0202] The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the database. The server loads the necessary data into memory based on the saved photo file and input information. The input is the photo and input information from the database, and the output is the related data stored in memory.

[0203] Step 4:

[0204] The server determines image processing parameters (brightness, background, contrast, etc.) based on the user's industry, job title, and age information. The server calculates the parameters using pre-set rules and models. The input is the user's information, and the output is the determined image processing parameters.

[0205] Step 5:

[0206] The server inputs the determined parameters and photo into the AI ​​model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and performs optimal processing based on the parameters. The input is the processing parameters and photo file, and the output is the processed image data.

[0207] Step 6:

[0208] The server stores the processed photos in a database and provides them to the user. The processed images are stored on the server and can be accessed by the user through the system. The input is the processed image data, and the output is the processed image stored in the database.

[0209] Step 7:

[0210] The user checks the edited photo on their device and downloads it if necessary. The device displays the edited photo to the user and provides a download option. The input is the edited image retrieved from the database, and the output is an image file saved on the user's device.

[0211] These specific processing steps enable users to quickly and efficiently generate optimal promotional images without the need for specialized knowledge or tools, and to immediately use them in physical stores, etc.

[0212] 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.

[0213] The present invention is a system in which users not only upload their own photos and input their industry, job title, and age, but also recognize the user's emotions using an emotion engine, and AI generates the optimal image. The detailed configuration and processing flow of the system based on the present invention are described below.

[0267] The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the database.

[0268] Step 10:

[0269] The server inputs the uploaded photos into an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions.

[0270] Step 11:

[0271] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and quantifies the corresponding emotion from a range of emotions (e.g., joy, sadness, anger, etc.).

[0272] Step 12:

[0273] The server determines image processing parameters based on the user's industry, job title, age and recognized emotion.

[0274] Step 13:

[0275] The server inputs the determined parameters and photo data into the AI ​​model and instructs it on image analysis and processing.

[0276] Step 14:

[0283] The device will then display the edited photo to the user and offer the option to download it.

[0284] Step 18:

[0285] Users can view the edited photos and download them if necessary.

[0286] Set the photos downloaded by the user as icons for online meeting tools and emails.

[0287] Example 2

[0288] 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."

[0289] In online communication and business, there is a demand for effective use of users' photos to improve the image of individuals and companies. However, it is difficult for users to create the optimal image on their own, requiring specialized knowledge and skills. Furthermore, conventional image processing tools have the problem of making it difficult to create the optimal image that reflects the user's emotion or occupation.

[0290] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a means for a user to upload his / her own image, a means for a user to input his / her occupation, role, and age, and a means for inputting the user's image into an emotion engine and recognizing emotions.

[0332] 7. User: Log back in to the system to check the edited photo, download it if necessary, and set the downloaded photo as an icon for online communication tools or emails.

[0333] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0334] Here is an example of a prompt to input to a generative AI model:

[0335] "A 30-year-old salesperson has uploaded three photos with the emotion Happy. For these photos, we want to increase the brightness, add a lighter background, and increase the contrast of the face."

[0336] In this way, by combining an emotion engine and a generative AI model, the present invention automatically generates and provides optimal images according to the user's emotions and occupation, thereby contributing to improving the online image of individuals and companies.

[0337] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0338] Step 1:

[0339] A user logs in to the system. They enter their username and password on the login screen and click "Login". The server authenticates the entered username and password, and if authentication is successful, displays the homepage. Specifically, a Python framework (e.g., Django) is used for user authentication. The input is the username and password, and the output is the login status (success or failure).

[0340] Step 2:

[0341] After logging in, the user uploads their own image. The device displays an interface for uploading photos. The user selects a photo and clicks the upload button. The device sends the selected photo to the server via an AJAX request. The server stores the received photo in a MySQL database. The input is the selected image file, and the output is a message that the image was successfully saved to the database.

[0342] Step 3:

[0343] The user enters their occupation, role, and age. The terminal displays an input form for occupation, role, age, etc. The user enters this information and clicks the submit button. The terminal sends the input information to the server via an AJAX request. The server receives the input information and saves it in a MySQL database. The input is text data for occupation, role, and age, and the output is a message that the information was successfully saved to the database.

[0344] Step 4:

[0345] The server sends the uploaded photo to the emotion engine to recognize the user's emotion. The photo data is sent to the emotion engine (for example, Azure Face API) to obtain emotion data. Specifically, the server calls the API, and the emotion engine analyzes the photo and returns emotion data. The input is photo data, and the output is emotion data (numeric values ​​such as joy, sadness, anger, etc.).

[0346] Step 5:

[0347] The server determines image processing parameters based on the user's occupation, role, age, and recognized emotion. A Python script is used to analyze the input information and emotion data, and set image processing parameters such as "brightness," "background color," and "contrast." The input is occupation, role, age, and emotion data, and the output is image processing parameters.

[0348] Step 6:

[0349] The server inputs the determined parameters and the photo into the generative AI model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The generative AI model (such as TensorFlow or PyTorch) analyzes the photo data and processes the image based on the parameters. The input is the photo data and image processing parameters, and the output is the processed photo data.

[0350] Step 7:

[0351] The server saves the processed photo to the database. Using a Python script, the processed photo data is stored in the MySQL database. The input is the processed photo data, and the output is a message that the data was successfully saved to the database.

[0352] Step 8:

[0353] The user re-logins into the system and accesses the confirmation page for the processed image. The user logs in again and is directed to a dedicated confirmation page. The terminal displays the processed image to the user and provides a downloadable link. The input is the user's re-login information, and the output is the processed image and download link displayed on the confirmation page.

[0403] React Native: A framework used to build user interfaces.

[0404] In this way, the system of the present invention combines an emotion engine and a generative AI model to automatically generate optimal advertising visuals based on the emotions and profiles of target users, enabling clients to quickly create effective advertising visuals and maximize marketing effectiveness.

[0405] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0406] Step 1:

[0407] Terminal: The client logs in to the system. The client's authentication information (username, password) is entered and authentication is performed using Firebase Authentication. If authentication is successful, the client's account information is obtained and the system proceeds to the next step.

[0408] Step 2:

[0409] Device: After logging in, the client uploads a photo of the target user. The client selects the photo file using the device's UI and clicks the upload button. Once the photo file is selected, the device sends the photo data to Firebase Storage.

[0410] Step 3:

[0411] Server: Retrieve the photo data stored in Firebase Storage and save it to the database. The server saves the photo file URL and metadata such as the upload date and time to Firebase Firestore. Once saving is complete, proceed to the next step.

[0412] Step 4:

[0413] Terminal: Provides a form for entering profile information (industry, job title, age) of the target user. The client enters information in each field and clicks the submit button. The entered information is sent from the terminal to the server.

[0414] Step 5:

[0415] Server: Receives the profile information sent from the client and saves it to the database. The profile information is stored in Firebase Firestore and associated with the photo data. Once saved, proceed to the next step.

[0416] Step 6:

[0417] Server: Sends photo data to the Google Cloud Vision API and performs emotion recognition. Receives emotion data (e.g., joy, sadness, anger, etc.) returned from the API. Analyzes and quantifies the received emotion data. Stores the analysis results in a database and proceeds to the next step.

[0418] Step 7:

[0419] Server: Determines image processing parameters (brightness, background color, contrast, etc.) based on profile information and emotion data. Sets these parameters and prepares them as input data for the AI ​​model.

[0420] Step 8:

[0421] Server and AI model: Using TensorFlow, the photo is processed based on the set image processing parameters. A specific prompt is input to the generation AI model. For example, the following prompt is used to generate an image:

[0422] Please generate the best advertising visual for a 30-year-old salesperson. The emotion of the photo is recognized as "joy." Please use a light background, high brightness, and strong contrast settings.

[0423] The AI ​​model processes the photo according to the prompt, generates the optimal advertising visual, and returns the generated image to the server.

[0424] Step 9:

[0425] Server: Saves the generated ad visuals to the database. Once saved, sends a notification to the client to let them know the image has been generated.

[0426] Step 10:

[0427] Terminal: The client accesses the UI to view the generated ad visuals. The generated images are displayed on the terminal, and the client can view them and download them if necessary.

[0428] By following these steps, clients can automatically generate optimal advertising visuals based on the emotions and profiles of their target users, thereby enhancing their marketing effectiveness.

[0429] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14.

[0527] Example 1

[0528] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0529] In the past, it was often time-consuming and required specialized knowledge for users to obtain the perfect profile picture for use in online meetings or emails. In particular, when editing images themselves, it was often difficult to adjust the appropriate brightness, background color, contrast, etc., resulting in a lack of a professional impression. An effective and easy-to-use system to solve these problems is needed.

[0530] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0531] In this invention, the server includes a means for users to upload their own electronic images, a means for users to input their occupation, job title, and age, and a means for the generative AI model to process the electronic images based on these parameters, thereby enabling users to easily generate their own profile pictures in an optimal form.

[0532] A "user" is a person who uses the system and uploads an electronic image of himself or herself and enters his or her occupation, job title, and age.

[0533] "Server" means a computing device that processes information received from users, stores it in a data storage device, and utilizes generative AI models to manipulate electronic images.

[0534] "Electronic images" refer to photographic data uploaded by users to the system and used as profile images for online meeting tools and email.

[0535] "Occupation" refers to information that indicates the industry or occupation in which the user is engaged.

[0536] "Position" refers to information that indicates a user's job position or title.

[0537] "Age" refers to information indicating the user's age.

[0538] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that performs optimal image processing based on uploaded electronic images and user input.

[0539] "Image processing parameters" are the settings or conditions used by a generative AI model to process an electronic image, including brightness, background color, contrast, etc.

[0540] "Data storage device" means storage for electronic images and input information received from users, and electronic images processed by generative AI models.

[0541] This invention is a system in which a user uploads their own digital image and inputs their occupation, job title, and age, and a generative AI model generates and provides the most suitable image. This system is mainly composed of three parties: a server, a terminal, and the user.

[0542] First, a user logs in to the system and uploads their own electronic image. The user can easily perform operations through the system interface. The terminal provides an interface for uploading photos and sends the electronic image selected by the user to the server. The server validates the received electronic image and stores it in a data storage device.

[0543] Next, the terminal provides the user with an input form for information such as occupation, position, age, etc. The user enters this information and submits it. The terminal then transmits the input information to the server, which stores it in a data storage device.

[0544] The server retrieves the user's digital image and input information from the data storage device and determines image processing parameters based on the user's occupation, position, and age. For example, if the occupation is "sales," the position is "person in charge," and the age is "30," the parameters set are "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast."

[0545] The server then inputs the digital image along with the determined parameters into a generative AI model, which then performs image analysis and processing using libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. This includes adjusting brightness, changing background colors, and enhancing contrast.

[0546] The server receives the electronic images processed by the generative AI model and stores them again in the data storage device. The user can log in to the system again and check the processed electronic images. The terminal displays the processed images to the user and provides a download function. The user can download the images as needed and use them in online meeting tools or email.

[0547] Specific examples

[0548] For example, a sales user (30 years old) logs in to the system and uploads three photos. The user enters their occupation as "sales," their position as "responsible," and their age as "30." The server stores this information in a data storage device and determines the parameters for "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast" based on the industry, position, and age information. The generative AI model processes the photos based on these settings, generating an image with, for example, increased brightness, a bright background, and enhanced facial contrast. The server then stores the processed electronic images in a data storage device, and the user can log in again to review the images and download them if necessary.

[0549] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0550] "Improve your sales profile photo. I have three photos. I'm 30 years old. Safely adjust the brightness, background, and contrast accordingly."

[0551] The system allows users to easily get the best profile picture possible, creating a professional impression in online meetings and emails.

[0552] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0553] Step 1: The user logs in to the system and accesses the photo upload screen. The terminal displays a file input field and provides an interface for the user to select a photo. When the user selects a photo and presses the "Upload" button, the terminal sends the photo data to the server. The input is the user's photo file, and the output is the transmission result to the server. The server validates the received photo and saves it in the data storage device.

[0554] Step 2: The user accesses a screen to input occupation, position, and age information. The terminal displays a form for inputting this information, allowing the user to enter data. The terminal sends the input information to the server. The input is occupation, position, and age information, and the output is the transmission result to the server. The server saves the received information in a data storage device.

[0555] Step 3: The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the data storage device. Using SQL queries or similar, the server retrieves the stored photo and information on occupation, position, and age. The input is the stored data record, and the output is the retrieved data. The server determines the image processing parameters based on this information. For example, for a sales representative (age 30), the parameters set are "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast."

[0556] Step 4: The server inputs the determined image processing parameters and the user's photo into the generative AI model. The generative AI model analyzes and processes the photo based on these parameters. The input is the image processing parameters and photo data, and the output is the processed photo data. Specifically, the generative AI model adjusts brightness, changes the background color, and enhances contrast.

[0557] Step 5: The server receives the processed photo returned by the generative AI model and stores it in the data storage device. The server re-encodes the processed photo data, stores it in cloud storage, and adds its URL to the data record. The input is the processed photo data, and the output is the result of the storage completion.

[0558] Step 6: The user logs in to the system again to view the edited photo. The device requests the edited photo data from the server and displays it. The user can download the photo if needed. The input is the user request, and the output is the edited photo data. The device generates a download link, allowing the user to download the photo.

[0559] (Application example 1)

[0561] Conventional photo editing systems require specialized knowledge and highly accurate tools for users to edit their own photos optimally, and the process requires a lot of time and effort. Furthermore, they lack the functionality to automatically generate promotional images for use in physical stores, and creating them manually is time-consuming. Therefore, there was a demand for a system that could easily and quickly generate and provide optimal promotional images.

[0562] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

This allows users to quickly and efficiently generate optimal promotional images without the need for specialized knowledge or tools, and to immediately use them in physical stores, etc.

[0564] "Server" means a computer system that receives, stores, processes, and analyzes data entered by users.

[0565] "User" refers to a person or organization that uses this system to upload their own photo, enter their industry, job title, and age, and obtain the most suitable edited photo.

[0568] "Image processing parameters" refer to adjustment elements such as brightness, background, and contrast required for processing a photograph.

[0569] An "AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm and system that analyzes and processes input data.

[0570] "Promotional images" are images used for promotional and advertising purposes, such as on smart displays in physical stores.

[0571] A "smart display" is an electronic display device such as digital signage that is used to provide information and display advertisements in stores, events, etc.

[0572] An "edited photo" is a photo after brightness, background, and contrast have been adjusted based on image processing parameters specified by the AI ​​model.

[0573] A "database" is a storage device or medium for systematically organizing and storing information within a system.

[0574] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0575] This system for implementing the invention allows users to upload their own photos and input their industry, job title, and age, and then AI generates and provides the most suitable image.The system can also automatically generate promotional images for smart displays in physical stores based on user input.

[0576] System configuration

[0577] 1. Photo upload function

[0578] The server provides a means for users to upload their own photos via their devices, which are then sent to the server and stored in a database.

[0579] 2. Input function for industry, job title, and age

[0580] Users have the means to input their industry, job title, and age through the terminal, and the input information is sent to the server and stored in a database.

[0581] 3. Image processing parameter determination function

[0582] The server determines image processing parameters (brightness, background, contrast, etc.) based on the user's industry, job title, and age information, which is obtained from a database.

[0583] 4. AI-based image analysis and processing functions

[0584] The server inputs the determined parameters and the photo into the AI ​​model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and performs optimal processing based on the parameters.

[0585] 5. Image provision function

[0586] The processed photos are stored on a server and can be accessed by users via their devices to view and download them.

[0587] Promotional images can also be provided for display on smart displays in physical stores.

[0588] Hardware and software used

[0589] 1. Server: Stores, processes, and analyzes data. For processing functions, we use cloud computing services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS).

[0590] 2. Device: Use an internet-enabled device such as a smartphone or tablet to upload photos and enter information.

[0591] 3. AI model: For image analysis and processing, we use machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, which allow us to properly analyze the input image and generate the optimal promotional image.

[0592] Examples and prompts

[0593] For example, suppose a 25-year-old salesperson working at an apparel store wants to generate promotional images for the store's smart displays. In this case, the user would follow the steps below:

[0594] 1. Users take a photo of themselves using their smartphone and upload it to the system.

[0595] 2. The user enters the industry as "apparel," the job title as "store clerk," and the age as "25."

[0596] 3. Based on the input information, the server determines that the brightness should be set to 1.2 times, the background to a fashion-themed image, and the contrast to 1.5 times.

[0597] 4. The AI ​​model runs these settings and generates the edited photo.

[0598] 5. The user can review the edited photo and download it to display on their smart display.

[0599] Example prompt sentence:

[0600] "Based on the photo uploaded by the user, the industry "Apparel", job title "Store Clerk", and age "25", set a bright background image and adjust the photo brightness by 1.2 times and the contrast by 1.5 times."

[0601] This makes it possible to quickly generate and use effective promotional images even in physical stores.

[0602] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0603] Step 1:

[0604] The user takes and uploads their own photo using the device. The device provides a photo upload interface and sends the photo selected by the user to the server. The input is the user's photo, and the output is a photo file stored on the server.

[0605] Step 2:

[0606] The user inputs their industry, job title, and age through the terminal. The terminal displays an input form for industry, job title, and age, and when the user enters the information, it sends the data to the server. The input is the user's industry, job title, and age information, and the output is that information saved on the server.

[0607] Step 3:

[0608] The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the database. The server loads the necessary data into memory based on the saved photo file and input information. The input is the photo and input information from the database, and the output is the related data stored in memory.

[0609] Step 4:

[0610] The server determines image processing parameters (brightness, background, contrast, etc.) based on the user's industry, job title, and age information. The server calculates the parameters using pre-set rules and models. The input is the user's information, and the output is the determined image processing parameters.

[0611] Step 5:

[0612] The server inputs the determined parameters and photo into the AI ​​model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and performs optimal processing based on the parameters. The input is the processing parameters and photo file, and the output is the processed image data.

[0613] Step 6:

[0614] The server stores the processed photos in a database and provides them to the user. The processed images are stored on the server and can be accessed by the user through the system. The input is the processed image data, and the output is the processed image stored in the database.

[0615] Step 7:

[0616] The user checks the edited photo on their device and downloads it if necessary. The device displays the edited photo to the user and provides a download option. The input is the edited image retrieved from the database, and the output is an image file saved on the user's device.

[0617] These specific processing steps enable users to quickly and efficiently generate optimal promotional images without the need for specialized knowledge or tools, and to immediately use them in physical stores, etc.

[0618] 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.

[0619] The present invention is a system in which users not only upload their own photos and input their industry, job title, and age, but also recognize the user's emotions using an emotion engine, and AI generates the optimal image. The detailed configuration and processing flow of the system based on the present invention are described below.

[0653] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0654] Step 1:

[0655] A user logs into the system and accesses the photo upload page.

[0656] Step 2:

[0657] The device will display a photo upload interface, where users can click the file selection button and select up to three of their own photos.

[0658] Step 3:

[0659] The user selects a photo and presses the upload button.

[0660] Step 4:

[0661] The terminal transmits the selected photo file to the server.

[0662] Step 5:

[0663] The server analyzes the received photo data and verifies whether it has been uploaded correctly.

[0664] After the server verifies it, it stores the photo data in a database.

[0665] Step 6:

[0666] The device displays a form for entering industry, job title, and age.

[0667] Step 7:

[0668] The user enters the industry (e.g., sales), job title (e.g., person in charge), and age (e.g., 30 years old), and presses the send button.

[0669] Step 8:

[0670] The terminal transmits the input information to the server.

[0673] The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the database.

[0674] Step 10:

[0675] The server inputs the uploaded photos into an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions.

[0676] Step 11:

[0677] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and quantifies the corresponding emotion from a range of emotions (e.g., joy, sadness, anger, etc.).

[0678] Step 12:

[0679] The server determines image processing parameters based on the user's industry, job title, age and recognized emotion.

[0680] Step 13:

[0681] The server inputs the determined parameters and photo data into the AI ​​model and instructs it on image analysis and processing.

[0682] Step 14:

[0683] The AI ​​model analyzes the photo and performs optimal processing based on the parameters (e.g., adjusting brightness, changing the background, adjusting contrast, etc.).

[0684] Step 15:

[0685] The server retrieves the processed photo data and stores it in a database.

[0686] Step 16:

[0687] The user logs back into the system and accesses the confirmation page for the processed image.

[0688] Step 17:

[0689] The device will then display the edited photo to the user and offer the option to download it.

[0693] Example 2

[0694] 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 glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0695] In online communication and business, there is a demand for effective use of users' photos to improve the image of individuals and companies. However, it is difficult for users to create the optimal image on their own, requiring specialized knowledge and skills. Furthermore, conventional image processing tools have the problem of making it difficult to create the optimal image that reflects the user's emotion or occupation.

[0696] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a means for a user to upload his / her own image, a means for a user to input his / her occupation, role, and age, and a means for inputting the user's image into an emotion engine and recognizing emotions. This makes it possible to automatically generate and provide an optimal image according to the user's emotion and occupation.

[0739] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0740] Here is an example of a prompt to input to a generative AI model:

[0741] "A 30-year-old salesperson has uploaded three photos with the emotion Happy. For these photos, we want to increase the brightness, add a lighter background, and increase the contrast of the face."

[0742] In this way, by combining an emotion engine and a generative AI model, the present invention automatically generates and provides optimal images according to the user's emotions and occupation, thereby contributing to improving the online image of individuals and companies.

[0743] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0744] Step 1:

[0745] A user logs in to the system. They enter their username and password on the login screen and click "Login". The server authenticates the entered username and password, and if authentication is successful, displays the homepage. Specifically, a Python framework (e.g., Django) is used for user authentication. The input is the username and password, and the output is the login status (success or failure).

[0746] Step 2:

[0747] After logging in, the user uploads their own image. The device displays an interface for uploading photos. The user selects a photo and clicks the upload button. The device sends the selected photo to the server via an AJAX request. The server stores the received photo in a MySQL database. The input is the selected image file, and the output is a message that the image was successfully saved to the database.

[0748] Step 3:

[0749] The user enters their occupation, role, and age. The terminal displays an input form for occupation, role, age, etc. The user enters this information and clicks the submit button. The terminal sends the input information to the server via an AJAX request. The server receives the input information and saves it in a MySQL database. The input is text data for occupation, role, and age, and the output is a message that the information was successfully saved to the database.

[0750] Step 4:

[0751] The server sends the uploaded photo to the emotion engine to recognize the user's emotion. The photo data is sent to the emotion engine (for example, Azure Face API) to obtain emotion data. Specifically, the server calls the API, and the emotion engine analyzes the photo and returns emotion data. The input is photo data, and the output is emotion data (numeric values ​​such as joy, sadness, anger, etc.).

[0752] Step 5:

[0753] The server determines image processing parameters based on the user's occupation, role, age, and recognized emotion. A Python script is used to analyze the input information and emotion data, and set image processing parameters such as "brightness," "background color," and "contrast." The input is occupation, role, age, and emotion data, and the output is image processing parameters.

[0754] Step 6:

[0755] The server inputs the determined parameters and the photo into the generative AI model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The generative AI model (such as TensorFlow or PyTorch) analyzes the photo data and processes the image based on the parameters. The input is the photo data and image processing parameters, and the output is the processed photo data.

[0756] Step 7:

[0757] The server saves the processed photo to the database. Using a Python script, the processed photo data is stored in the MySQL database. The input is the processed photo data, and the output is a message that the data was successfully saved to the database.

[0758] Step 8:

[0759] The user re-logins into the system and accesses the confirmation page for the processed image. The user logs in again and is directed to a dedicated confirmation page. The terminal displays the processed image to the user and provides a downloadable link. The input is the user's re-login information, and the output is the processed image and download link displayed on the confirmation page.

[0891] The user (sales representative) logs into the system, uploads three photos, and enters the industry as "sales," the job title as "responsible person," and the age as "30 years old."

[0892] The server stores the photos and information in a database and determines the parameters of "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast" based on industry, job title, and age.

[0893] The AI ​​model analyzes the photo and applies specified effects based on the parameters, such as increasing the brightness of the photo, setting a bright background, and increasing the contrast of the face.

[0894] The server stores the edited photos in a database, and users can log in to view and download the photos.

[0895] In this way, the present invention uses AI technology to automatically generate optimal images based on user information, providing photos suitable for use in online meetings and emails.

[0896] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0897] Step 1:

[0898] A user logs into the system and accesses the photo upload page.

[0899] Step 2:

[0932] Set the photos downloaded by the user as icons for online meeting tools and emails.

[0933] Example 1

[0934] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0935] In the past, it was often time-consuming and required specialized knowledge for users to obtain the perfect profile picture for use in online meetings or emails. In particular, when editing images themselves, it was often difficult to adjust the appropriate brightness, background color, contrast, etc., resulting in a lack of a professional impression. An effective and easy-to-use system to solve these problems is needed.

[0936] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0937] In this invention, the server includes a means for users to upload their own electronic images, a means for users to input their occupation, job title, and age, and a means for the generative AI model to process the electronic images based on these parameters, thereby enabling users to easily generate their own profile pictures in an optimal form.

[0938] A "user" is a person who uses the system and uploads an electronic image of himself or herself and enters his or her occupation, job title, and age.

[0939] "Server" means a computing device that processes information received from users, stores it in a data storage device, and utilizes generative AI models to manipulate electronic images.

[0940] "Electronic images" refer to photographic data uploaded by users to the system and used as profile images for online meeting tools and email.

[0941] "Occupation" refers to information that indicates the industry or occupation in which the user is engaged.

[0942] "Position" refers to information that indicates a user's job position or title.

[0943] "Age" refers to information indicating the user's age.

[0944] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that performs optimal image processing based on uploaded electronic images and user input.

[0945] "Image processing parameters" are the settings or conditions used by a generative AI model to process an electronic image, including brightness, background color, contrast, etc.

[0946] "Data storage device" means storage for electronic images and input information received from users, and electronic images processed by generative AI models.

[0947] This invention is a system in which a user uploads their own digital image and inputs their occupation, job title, and age, and a generative AI model generates and provides the most suitable image. This system is mainly composed of three parties: a server, a terminal, and the user.

[0948] First, a user logs in to the system and uploads their own electronic image. The user can easily perform operations through the system interface. The terminal provides an interface for uploading photos and sends the electronic image selected by the user to the server. The server validates the received electronic image and stores it in a data storage device.

[0949] Next, the terminal provides the user with an input form for information such as occupation, position, age, etc. The user enters this information and submits it. The terminal then transmits the input information to the server, which stores it in a data storage device.

[0950] The server retrieves the user's digital image and input information from the data storage device and determines image processing parameters based on the user's occupation, position, and age. For example, if the occupation is "sales," the position is "person in charge," and the age is "30," the parameters set are "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast."

[0951] The server then inputs the digital image along with the determined parameters into a generative AI model, which then performs image analysis and processing using libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. This includes adjusting brightness, changing background colors, and enhancing contrast.

[0952] The server receives the electronic images processed by the generative AI model and stores them again in the data storage device. The user can log in to the system again and check the processed electronic images. The terminal displays the processed images to the user and provides a download function. The user can download the images as needed and use them in online meeting tools or email.

[0953] Specific examples

[0954] For example, a sales user (30 years old) logs in to the system and uploads three photos. The user enters their occupation as "sales," their position as "responsible," and their age as "30." The server stores this information in a data storage device and determines the parameters for "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast" based on the industry, position, and age information. The generative AI model processes the photos based on these settings, generating an image with, for example, increased brightness, a bright background, and enhanced facial contrast. The server then stores the processed electronic images in a data storage device, and the user can log in again to review the images and download them if necessary.

[0955] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0956] "Improve your sales profile photo. I have three photos. I'm 30 years old. Safely adjust the brightness, background, and contrast accordingly."

[0957] The system allows users to easily get the best profile picture possible, creating a professional impression in online meetings and emails.

[0958] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0959] Step 1: The user logs in to the system and accesses the photo upload screen. The terminal displays a file input field and provides an interface for the user to select a photo. When the user selects a photo and presses the "Upload" button, the terminal sends the photo data to the server. The input is the user's photo file, and the output is the transmission result to the server. The server validates the received photo and saves it in the data storage device.

[0960] Step 2: The user accesses a screen to input occupation, position, and age information. The terminal displays a form for inputting this information, allowing the user to enter data. The terminal sends the input information to the server. The input is occupation, position, and age information, and the output is the transmission result to the server. The server saves the received information in a data storage device.

[0961] Step 3: The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the data storage device. Using SQL queries or similar, the server retrieves the stored photo and information on occupation, position, and age. The input is the stored data record, and the output is the retrieved data. The server determines the image processing parameters based on this information. For example, for a sales representative (age 30), the parameters set are "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast."

[0962] Step 4: The server inputs the determined image processing parameters and the user's photo into the generative AI model. The generative AI model analyzes and processes the photo based on these parameters. The input is the image processing parameters and photo data, and the output is the processed photo data. Specifically, the generative AI model adjusts brightness, changes the background color, and enhances contrast.

[0963] Step 5: The server receives the processed photo returned by the generative AI model and stores it in the data storage device. The server re-encodes the processed photo data, stores it in cloud storage, and adds its URL to the data record. The input is the processed photo data, and the output is the result of the storage completion.

[0964] Step 6: The user logs in to the system again to view the edited photo. The device requests the edited photo data from the server and displays it. The user can download the photo if needed. The input is the user request, and the output is the edited photo data. The device generates a download link, allowing the user to download the photo.

[0965] (Application example 1)

[0966] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0967] Conventional photo editing systems require specialized knowledge and highly accurate tools for users to edit their own photos optimally, and the process requires a lot of time and effort. Furthermore, they lack the functionality to automatically generate promotional images for use in physical stores, and creating them manually is time-consuming. Therefore, there was a demand for a system that could easily and quickly generate and provide optimal promotional images.

[0968] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

This allows users to quickly and efficiently generate optimal promotional images without the need for specialized knowledge or tools, and to immediately use them in physical stores, etc.

[0970] "Server" means a computer system that receives, stores, processes, and analyzes data entered by users.

[0971] "User" refers to a person or organization that uses this system to upload their own photo, enter their industry, job title, and age, and obtain the most suitable edited photo.

[0973] "Means for inputting industry, job title, and age" refers to the functions and interfaces that allow a user to provide information about their industry, job title, and age to the system.

[0974] "Image processing parameters" refer to adjustment elements such as brightness, background, and contrast required for processing a photograph.

[0975] An "AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm and system that analyzes and processes input data.

[0976] "Promotional images" are images used for promotional and advertising purposes, such as on smart displays in physical stores.

[0977] A "smart display" is an electronic display device such as digital signage that is used to provide information and display advertisements in stores, events, etc.

[0978] An "edited photo" is a photo after brightness, background, and contrast have been adjusted based on image processing parameters specified by the AI ​​model.

[0979] A "database" is a storage device or medium for systematically organizing and storing information within a system.

[0980] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0981] This system for implementing the invention allows users to upload their own photos and input their industry, job title, and age, and then AI generates and provides the most suitable image.The system can also automatically generate promotional images for smart displays in physical stores based on user input.

[0982] System configuration

[0983] 1. Photo upload function

[0984] The server provides a means for users to upload their own photos via their devices, which are then sent to the server and stored in a database.

[0985] 2. Input function for industry, job title, and age

[0986] Users have the means to input their industry, job title, and age through the terminal, and the input information is sent to the server and stored in a database.

[0987] 3. Image processing parameter determination function

[0988] The server determines image processing parameters (brightness, background, contrast, etc.) based on the user's industry, job title, and age information, which is obtained from a database.

[0989] 4. AI-based image analysis and processing functions

[0990] The server inputs the determined parameters and the photo into the AI ​​model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and performs optimal processing based on the parameters.

[0991] 5. Image provision function

[0992] The processed photos are stored on a server and can be accessed by users via their devices to view and download them.

[0993] Promotional images can also be provided for display on smart displays in physical stores.

[0994] Hardware and software used

[0995] 1. Server: Stores, processes, and analyzes data. For processing functions, we use cloud computing services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS).

[0996] 2. Device: Use an internet-enabled device such as a smartphone or tablet to upload photos and enter information.

[0997] 3. AI model: For image analysis and processing, we use machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, which allow us to properly analyze the input image and generate the optimal promotional image.

[0998] Examples and prompts

[0999] For example, suppose a 25-year-old salesperson working at an apparel store wants to generate promotional images for the store's smart displays. In this case, the user would follow the steps below:

[1000] 1. Users take a photo of themselves using their smartphone and upload it to the system.

[1001] 2. The user enters the industry as "apparel," the job title as "store clerk," and the age as "25."

[1002] 3. Based on the input information, the server determines that the brightness should be set to 1.2 times, the background to a fashion-themed image, and the contrast to 1.5 times.

[1003] 4. The AI ​​model runs these settings and generates the edited photo.

[1004] 5. The user can review the edited photo and download it to display on their smart display.

[1005] Example prompt sentence:

[1006] "Based on the photo uploaded by the user, the industry "Apparel", job title "Store Clerk", and age "25", set a bright background image and adjust the photo brightness by 1.2 times and the contrast by 1.5 times."

[1007] This makes it possible to quickly generate and use effective promotional images even in physical stores.

[1008] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1009] Step 1:

[1010] The user takes and uploads their own photo using the device. The device provides a photo upload interface and sends the photo selected by the user to the server. The input is the user's photo, and the output is a photo file stored on the server.

[1011] Step 2:

[1012] The user inputs their industry, job title, and age through the terminal. The terminal displays an input form for industry, job title, and age, and when the user enters the information, it sends the data to the server. The input is the user's industry, job title, and age information, and the output is that information saved on the server.

[1013] Step 3:

[1014] The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the database. The server loads the necessary data into memory based on the saved photo file and input information. The input is the photo and input information from the database, and the output is the related data stored in memory.

[1015] Step 4:

[1016] The server determines image processing parameters (brightness, background, contrast, etc.) based on the user's industry, job title, and age information. The server calculates the parameters using pre-set rules and models. The input is the user's information, and the output is the determined image processing parameters.

[1017] Step 5:

[1018] The server inputs the determined parameters and photo into the AI ​​model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and performs optimal processing based on the parameters. The input is the processing parameters and photo file, and the output is the processed image data.

[1019] Step 6:

[1020] The server stores the processed photos in a database and provides them to the user. The processed images are stored on the server and can be accessed by the user through the system. The input is the processed image data, and the output is the processed image stored in the database.

[1021] Step 7:

[1022] The user checks the edited photo on their device and downloads it if necessary. The device displays the edited photo to the user and provides a download option. The input is the edited image retrieved from the database, and the output is an image file saved on the user's device.

[1023] These specific processing steps enable users to quickly and efficiently generate optimal promotional images without the need for specialized knowledge or tools, and to immediately use them in physical stores, etc.

[1024] 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.

[1025] The present invention is a system in which users not only upload their own photos and input their industry, job title, and age, but also recognize the user's emotions using an emotion engine, and AI generates the optimal image. The detailed configuration and processing flow of the system based on the present invention are described below.

[1079] The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the database.

[1080] Step 10:

[1081] The server inputs the uploaded photos into an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions.

[1082] Step 11:

[1083] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and quantifies the corresponding emotion from a range of emotions (e.g., joy, sadness, anger, etc.).

[1084] Step 12:

[1085] The server determines image processing parameters based on the user's industry, job title, age and recognized emotion.

[1086] Step 13:

[1087] The server inputs the determined parameters and photo data into the AI ​​model and instructs it on image analysis and processing.

[1088] Step 14:

[1100] 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."

[1101] In online communication and business, there is a demand for effective use of users' photos to improve the image of individuals and companies. However, it is difficult for users to create the optimal image on their own, requiring specialized knowledge and skills. Furthermore, conventional image processing tools have the problem of making it difficult to create the optimal image that reflects the user's emotion or occupation.

[1102] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a means for a user to upload his / her own image, a means for a user to input his / her occupation, role, and age, and a means for inputting the user's image into an emotion engine and recognizing emotions. This makes it possible to automatically generate and provide an optimal image according to the user's emotion and occupation.

[1107] "Age" refers to the number of years calculated from the user's date of birth.

[1108] "Server" refers to a computer system that receives photos and information from users, stores them in a database, and performs various processing.

[1109] An "emotion engine" refers to software or algorithms that analyze a user's image and quantify their emotions.

[1110] "Image processing parameters" refer to adjustment values ​​such as image brightness, background color, and contrast that are determined based on the user's emotions and occupation.

[1111] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence system that analyzes and processes images based on specific parameters.

[1112] "Database" refers to a collection of digital data for storing user photos and information.

[1113] "Online communication tools" refers to software and services that allow users to communicate with each other via the Internet.

[1114] The present invention is a system in which users not only upload their own images and input their occupation, role, and age, but also recognize the user's emotions using an emotion engine, and a generative AI model generates an optimal image.

[1145] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1146] Here is an example of a prompt to input to a generative AI model:

[1147] "A 30-year-old salesperson has uploaded three photos with the emotion Happy. For these photos, we want to increase the brightness, add a lighter background, and increase the contrast of the face."

[1148] In this way, by combining an emotion engine and a generative AI model, the present invention automatically generates and provides optimal images according to the user's emotions and occupation, thereby contributing to improving the online image of individuals and companies.

[1149] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1150] Step 1:

[1151] A user logs in to the system. They enter their username and password on the login screen and click "Login". The server authenticates the entered username and password, and if authentication is successful, displays the homepage. Specifically, a Python framework (e.g., Django) is used for user authentication. The input is the username and password, and the output is the login status (success or failure).

[1152] Step 2:

[1153] After logging in, the user uploads their own image. The device displays an interface for uploading photos. The user selects a photo and clicks the upload button. The device sends the selected photo to the server via an AJAX request. The server stores the received photo in a MySQL database. The input is the selected image file, and the output is a message that the image was successfully saved to the database.

[1154] Step 3:

[1155] The user enters their occupation, role, and age. The terminal displays an input form for occupation, role, age, etc. The user enters this information and clicks the submit button. The terminal sends the input information to the server via an AJAX request. The server receives the input information and saves it in a MySQL database. The input is text data for occupation, role, and age, and the output is a message that the information was successfully saved to the database.

[1156] Step 4:

[1157] The server sends the uploaded photo to the emotion engine to recognize the user's emotion. The photo data is sent to the emotion engine (for example, Azure Face API) to obtain emotion data. Specifically, the server calls the API, and the emotion engine analyzes the photo and returns emotion data. The input is photo data, and the output is emotion data (numeric values ​​such as joy, sadness, anger, etc.).

[1158] Step 5:

[1159] The server determines image processing parameters based on the user's occupation, role, age, and recognized emotion. A Python script is used to analyze the input information and emotion data, and set image processing parameters such as "brightness," "background color," and "contrast." The input is occupation, role, age, and emotion data, and the output is image processing parameters.

[1160] Step 6:

[1161] The server inputs the determined parameters and the photo into the generative AI model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The generative AI model (such as TensorFlow or PyTorch) analyzes the photo data and processes the image based on the parameters. The input is the photo data and image processing parameters, and the output is the processed photo data.

[1162] Step 7:

[1163] The server saves the processed photo to the database. Using a Python script, the processed photo data is stored in the MySQL database. The input is the processed photo data, and the output is a message that the data was successfully saved to the database.

[1164] Step 8:

[1165] The user re-logins into the system and accesses the confirmation page for the processed image. The user logs in again and is directed to a dedicated confirmation page. The terminal displays the processed image to the user and provides a downloadable link. The input is the user's re-login information, and the output is the processed image and download link displayed on the confirmation page.

[1340] Example 1

[1341] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1342] In the past, it was often time-consuming and required specialized knowledge for users to obtain the perfect profile picture for use in online meetings or emails. In particular, when editing images themselves, it was often difficult to adjust the appropriate brightness, background color, contrast, etc., resulting in a lack of a professional impression. An effective and easy-to-use system to solve these problems is needed.

[1343] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1344] In this invention, the server includes a means for users to upload their own electronic images, a means for users to input their occupation, job title, and age, and a means for the generative AI model to process the electronic images based on these parameters, thereby enabling users to easily generate their own profile pictures in an optimal form.

[1345] A "user" is a person who uses the system and uploads an electronic image of himself or herself and enters his or her occupation, job title, and age.

[1346] "Server" means a computing device that processes information received from users, stores it in a data storage device, and utilizes generative AI models to manipulate electronic images.

[1347] "Electronic images" refer to photographic data uploaded by users to the system and used as profile images for online meeting tools and email.

[1348] "Occupation" refers to information that indicates the industry or occupation in which the user is engaged.

[1349] "Position" refers to information that indicates a user's job position or title.

[1350] "Age" refers to information indicating the user's age.

[1351] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that performs optimal image processing based on uploaded electronic images and user input.

[1352] "Image processing parameters" are the settings or conditions used by a generative AI model to process an electronic image, including brightness, background color, contrast, etc.

[1353] "Data storage device" means storage for electronic images and input information received from users, and electronic images processed by generative AI models.

[1354] This invention is a system in which a user uploads their own digital image and inputs their occupation, job title, and age, and a generative AI model generates and provides the most suitable image. This system is mainly composed of three parties: a server, a terminal, and the user.

[1355] First, a user logs in to the system and uploads their own electronic image. The user can easily perform operations through the system interface. The terminal provides an interface for uploading photos and sends the electronic image selected by the user to the server. The server validates the received electronic image and stores it in a data storage device.

[1356] Next, the terminal provides the user with an input form for information such as occupation, position, age, etc. The user enters this information and submits it. The terminal then transmits the input information to the server, which stores it in a data storage device.

[1357] The server retrieves the user's digital image and input information from the data storage device and determines image processing parameters based on the user's occupation, position, and age. For example, if the occupation is "sales," the position is "person in charge," and the age is "30," the parameters set are "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast."

[1358] The server then inputs the digital image along with the determined parameters into a generative AI model, which then performs image analysis and processing using libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. This includes adjusting brightness, changing background colors, and enhancing contrast.

[1359] The server receives the electronic images processed by the generative AI model and stores them again in the data storage device. The user can log in to the system again and check the processed electronic images. The terminal displays the processed images to the user and provides a download function. The user can download the images as needed and use them in online meeting tools or email.

[1360] Specific examples

[1361] For example, a sales user (30 years old) logs in to the system and uploads three photos. The user enters their occupation as "sales," their position as "responsible," and their age as "30." The server stores this information in a data storage device and determines the parameters for "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast" based on the industry, position, and age information. The generative AI model processes the photos based on these settings, generating an image with, for example, increased brightness, a bright background, and enhanced facial contrast. The server then stores the processed electronic images in a data storage device, and the user can log in again to review the images and download them if necessary.

[1362] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1363] "Improve your sales profile photo. I have three photos. I'm 30 years old. Safely adjust the brightness, background, and contrast accordingly."

[1364] The system allows users to easily get the best profile picture possible, creating a professional impression in online meetings and emails.

[1365] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1366] Step 1: The user logs in to the system and accesses the photo upload screen. The terminal displays a file input field and provides an interface for the user to select a photo. When the user selects a photo and presses the "Upload" button, the terminal sends the photo data to the server. The input is the user's photo file, and the output is the transmission result to the server. The server validates the received photo and saves it in the data storage device.

[1367] Step 2: The user accesses a screen to input occupation, position, and age information. The terminal displays a form for inputting this information, allowing the user to enter data. The terminal sends the input information to the server. The input is occupation, position, and age information, and the output is the transmission result to the server. The server saves the received information in a data storage device.

[1368] Step 3: The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the data storage device. Using SQL queries or similar, the server retrieves the stored photo and information on occupation, position, and age. The input is the stored data record, and the output is the retrieved data. The server determines the image processing parameters based on this information. For example, for a sales representative (age 30), the parameters set are "light background," "high brightness," and "strong contrast."

[1369] Step 4: The server inputs the determined image processing parameters and the user's photo into the generative AI model. The generative AI model analyzes and processes the photo based on these parameters. The input is the image processing parameters and photo data, and the output is the processed photo data. Specifically, the generative AI model adjusts brightness, changes the background color, and enhances contrast.

[1370] Step 5: The server receives the processed photo returned by the generative AI model and stores it in the data storage device. The server re-encodes the processed photo data, stores it in cloud storage, and adds its URL to the data record. The input is the processed photo data, and the output is the result of the storage completion.

[1371] Step 6: The user logs in to the system again to view the edited photo. The device requests the edited photo data from the server and displays it. The user can download the photo if needed. The input is the user request, and the output is the edited photo data. The device generates a download link, allowing the user to download the photo.

[1372] (Application example 1)

[1373] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1374] Conventional photo editing systems require specialized knowledge and highly accurate tools for users to edit their own photos optimally, and the process requires a lot of time and effort. Furthermore, they lack the functionality to automatically generate promotional images for use in physical stores, and creating them manually is time-consuming. Therefore, there was a demand for a system that could easily and quickly generate and provide optimal promotional images.

[1375] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[1376] In this invention, the server includes: a means for users to upload their own photos; a means for users to input their industry, job title, and age; a means for the server to save these photos and input information in a database; a means for the server to determine image processing parameters based on the user's information; a means for an AI model to edit the photos based on these parameters; a means for the server to save the edited photos in a database and provide them to users; a means for users to check and download the edited photos; and a means for the AI ​​to generate optimal promotional images by users inputting their own photos and store information (industry, job title, age) and provide the promotional images to be displayed on smart displays in physical stores. This allows users to quickly and efficiently generate optimal promotional images without the need for specialized knowledge or tools, and to immediately use them in physical stores, etc.

[1377] "Server" means a computer system that receives, stores, processes, and analyzes data entered by users.

[1378] "User" refers to a person or organization that uses this system to upload their own photo, enter their industry, job title, and age, and obtain the most suitable edited photo.

[1379] "Photo Uploader" means the functionality or interface that allows a User to provide their photo to the System.

[1380] "Means for inputting industry, job title, and age" refers to the functions and interfaces that allow a user to provide information about their industry, job title, and age to the system.

[1381] "Image processing parameters" refer to adjustment elements such as brightness, background, and contrast required for processing a photograph.

[1382] An "AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm and system that analyzes and processes input data.

[1383] "Promotional images" are images used for promotional and advertising purposes, such as on smart displays in physical stores.

[1384] A "smart display" is an electronic display device such as digital signage that is used to provide information and display advertisements in stores, events, etc.

[1385] An "edited photo" is a photo after brightness, background, and contrast have been adjusted based on image processing parameters specified by the AI ​​model.

[1386] A "database" is a storage device or medium for systematically organizing and storing information within a system.

[1387] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[1388] This system for implementing the invention allows users to upload their own photos and input their industry, job title, and age, and then AI generates and provides the most suitable image.The system can also automatically generate promotional images for smart displays in physical stores based on user input.

[1389] System configuration

[1390] 1. Photo upload function

[1391] The server provides a means for users to upload their own photos via their devices, which are then sent to the server and stored in a database.

[1392] 2. Input function for industry, job title, and age

[1393] Users have the means to input their industry, job title, and age through the terminal, and the input information is sent to the server and stored in a database.

[1394] 3. Image processing parameter determination function

[1395] The server determines image processing parameters (brightness, background, contrast, etc.) based on the user's industry, job title, and age information, which is obtained from a database.

[1396] 4. AI-based image analysis and processing functions

[1397] The server inputs the determined parameters and the photo into the AI ​​model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and performs optimal processing based on the parameters.

[1398] 5. Image provision function

[1399] The processed photos are stored on a server and can be accessed by users via their devices to view and download them.

[1400] Promotional images can also be provided for display on smart displays in physical stores.

[1401] Hardware and software used

[1402] 1. Server: Stores, processes, and analyzes data. For processing functions, we use cloud computing services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS).

[1403] 2. Device: Use an internet-enabled device such as a smartphone or tablet to upload photos and enter information.

[1404] 3. AI model: For image analysis and processing, we use machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, which allow us to properly analyze the input image and generate the optimal promotional image.

[1405] Examples and prompts

[1406] For example, suppose a 25-year-old salesperson working at an apparel store wants to generate promotional images for the store's smart displays. In this case, the user would follow the steps below:

[1407] 1. Users take a photo of themselves using their smartphone and upload it to the system.

[1408] 2. The user enters the industry as "apparel," the job title as "store clerk," and the age as "25."

[1409] 3. Based on the input information, the server determines that the brightness should be set to 1.2 times, the background to a fashion-themed image, and the contrast to 1.5 times.

[1410] 4. The AI ​​model runs these settings and generates the edited photo.

[1411] 5. The user can review the edited photo and download it to display on their smart display.

[1412] Example prompt sentence:

[1413] "Based on the photo uploaded by the user, the industry "Apparel", job title "Store Clerk", and age "25", set a bright background image and adjust the photo brightness by 1.2 times and the contrast by 1.5 times."

[1414] This makes it possible to quickly generate and use effective promotional images even in physical stores.

[1415] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1416] Step 1:

[1417] The user takes and uploads their own photo using the device. The device provides a photo upload interface and sends the photo selected by the user to the server. The input is the user's photo, and the output is a photo file stored on the server.

[1418] Step 2:

[1419] The user inputs their industry, job title, and age through the terminal. The terminal displays an input form for industry, job title, and age, and when the user enters the information, it sends the data to the server. The input is the user's industry, job title, and age information, and the output is that information saved on the server.

[1420] Step 3:

[1421] The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the database. The server loads the necessary data into memory based on the saved photo file and input information. The input is the photo and input information from the database, and the output is the related data stored in memory.

[1422] Step 4:

[1423] The server determines image processing parameters (brightness, background, contrast, etc.) based on the user's industry, job title, and age information. The server calculates the parameters using pre-set rules and models. The input is the user's information, and the output is the determined image processing parameters.

[1424] Step 5:

[1425] The server inputs the determined parameters and photo into the AI ​​model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The AI ​​model analyzes the image and performs optimal processing based on the parameters. The input is the processing parameters and photo file, and the output is the processed image data.

[1426] Step 6:

[1427] The server stores the processed photos in a database and provides them to the user. The processed images are stored on the server and can be accessed by the user through the system. The input is the processed image data, and the output is the processed image stored in the database.

[1428] Step 7:

[1429] The user checks the edited photo on their device and downloads it if necessary. The device displays the edited photo to the user and provides a download option. The input is the edited image retrieved from the database, and the output is an image file saved on the user's device.

[1430] These specific processing steps enable users to quickly and efficiently generate optimal promotional images without the need for specialized knowledge or tools, and to immediately use them in physical stores, etc.

[1431] 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.

[1432] The present invention is a system in which users not only upload their own photos and input their industry, job title, and age, but also recognize the user's emotions using an emotion engine, and AI generates the optimal image. The detailed configuration and processing flow of the system based on the present invention are described below.

[1465] In this way, by combining emotion engines, the present invention realizes a system that automatically generates optimal images according to the user's emotions, and further contributes to improving the image of individuals and companies online.

[1466] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1467] Step 1:

[1468] A user logs into the system and accesses the photo upload page.

[1469] Step 2:

[1470] The device will display a photo upload interface, where users can click the file selection button and select up to three of their own photos.

[1471] Step 3:

[1472] The user selects a photo and presses the upload button.

[1473] Step 4:

[1474] The terminal transmits the selected photo file to the server.

[1486] The server retrieves the user's photo and input information from the database.

[1487] Step 10:

[1488] The server inputs the uploaded photos into an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions.

[1489] Step 11:

[1490] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and quantifies the corresponding emotion from a range of emotions (e.g., joy, sadness, anger, etc.).

[1491] Step 12:

[1492] The server determines image processing parameters based on the user's industry, job title, age and recognized emotion.

[1493] Step 13:

[1494] The server inputs the determined parameters and photo data into the AI ​​model and instructs it on image analysis and processing.

[1495] Step 14:

[1551] 7. User: Log back in to the system to check the edited photo, download it if necessary, and set the downloaded photo as an icon for online communication tools or emails.

[1552] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1553] Here is an example of a prompt to input to a generative AI model:

[1554] "A 30-year-old salesperson has uploaded three photos with the emotion Happy. For these photos, we want to increase the brightness, add a lighter background, and increase the contrast of the face."

[1555] In this way, by combining an emotion engine and a generative AI model, the present invention automatically generates and provides optimal images according to the user's emotions and occupation, thereby contributing to improving the online image of individuals and companies.

[1556] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1557] Step 1:

[1558] A user logs in to the system. They enter their username and password on the login screen and click "Login". The server authenticates the entered username and password, and if authentication is successful, displays the homepage. Specifically, a Python framework (e.g., Django) is used for user authentication. The input is the username and password, and the output is the login status (success or failure).

[1559] Step 2:

[1560] After logging in, the user uploads their own image. The device displays an interface for uploading photos. The user selects a photo and clicks the upload button. The device sends the selected photo to the server via an AJAX request. The server stores the received photo in a MySQL database. The input is the selected image file, and the output is a message that the image was successfully saved to the database.

[1561] Step 3:

[1562] The user enters their occupation, role, and age. The terminal displays an input form for occupation, role, age, etc. The user enters this information and clicks the submit button. The terminal sends the input information to the server via an AJAX request. The server receives the input information and saves it in a MySQL database. The input is text data for occupation, role, and age, and the output is a message that the information was successfully saved to the database.

[1563] Step 4:

[1564] The server sends the uploaded photo to the emotion engine to recognize the user's emotion. The photo data is sent to the emotion engine (for example, Azure Face API) to obtain emotion data. Specifically, the server calls the API, and the emotion engine analyzes the photo and returns emotion data. The input is photo data, and the output is emotion data (numeric values ​​such as joy, sadness, anger, etc.).

[1565] Step 5:

[1566] The server determines image processing parameters based on the user's occupation, role, age, and recognized emotion. A Python script is used to analyze the input information and emotion data, and set image processing parameters such as "brightness," "background color," and "contrast." The input is occupation, role, age, and emotion data, and the output is image processing parameters.

[1567] Step 6:

[1568] The server inputs the determined parameters and the photo into the generative AI model and instructs it to analyze and process the image. The generative AI model (such as TensorFlow or PyTorch) analyzes the photo data and processes the image based on the parameters. The input is the photo data and image processing parameters, and the output is the processed photo data.

[1569] Step 7:

[1570] The server saves the processed photo to the database. Using a Python script, the processed photo data is stored in the MySQL database. The input is the processed photo data, and the output is a message that the data was successfully saved to the database.

[1571] Step 8:

[1572] The user re-logins into the system and accesses the confirmation page for the processed image. The user logs in again and is directed to a dedicated confirmation page. The terminal displays the processed image to the user and provides a downloadable link. The input is the user's re-login information, and the output is the processed image and download link displayed on the confirmation page.

[1573] (Application example 2)

[1574] 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."

[1575] Conventional advertising visual generation systems have difficulty generating optimal images based on the target user's emotions and profile. Furthermore, new technology is needed to enable advertising agencies to quickly create effective advertising visuals that meet their clients' needs. Furthermore, if the generated visuals do not match the target user's emotions, the effectiveness of the advertisement decreases.

[1576] The identification processing 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 a user to upload their own photo, means for the user to input their industry, job title, and age, means for the server to save these photos and input information in a database, means for the server to recognize the user's emotion from the uploaded photo using an emotion engine, means for the server to determine image processing parameters based on the user's information and the recognized emotion, means for the AI ​​model to edit the photo based on these parameters, means for the server to save the edited photo in a database and provide it to the user, and means for the user to check and download the edited photo. This enables the automatic generation of optimal advertising visuals based on the emotions and profile of target users.

[1609] 6. Image confirmation and download function

[1610] Terminal: Provides a UI where clients can view and download the generated ad visuals.

[1611] Server: Stores the generated advertising visuals in a database and provides them to clients.

[1612] Specific examples

[1613] For example, to generate advertising visuals for a 30-year-old salesperson, the client uploads a photo and profile of the salesperson (industry: sales, job title: responsible, age: 30). The system provides the following prompt sentence to the generative AI model:

[1614] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1615] Please generate the best advertising visual for a 30-year-old salesperson. The emotion of the photo is recognized as "joy." Please use a light background, high brightness, and strong contrast settings.

[1616] Hardware and software used

[1617] Firebase Authentication: A platform for managing authentication.

[1618] Firebase Firestore: A cloud database for storing and managing data.

[1619] Firebase Storage: Cloud storage for saving photos.

[1620] Google Cloud Vision API: A cloud-based image analysis service for emotion recognition.

[1621] TensorFlow: A platform for image generation and processing using machine learning models.

[1622] React Native: A framework used to build user interfaces.

[1623] In this way, the system of the present invention combines an emotion engine and a generative AI model to automatically generate optimal advertising visuals based on the emotions and profiles of target users, enabling clients to quickly create effective advertising visuals and maximize marketing effectiveness.

[1624] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1625] Step 1:

[1626] Terminal: The client logs in to the system. The client's authentication information (username, password) is entered and authentication is performed using Firebase Authentication. If authentication is successful, the client's account information is obtained and the system proceeds to the next step.

[1627] Step 2:

[1628] Device: After logging in, the client uploads a photo of the target user. The client selects the photo file using the device's UI and clicks the upload button. Once the photo file is selected, the device sends the photo data to Firebase Storage.

[1629] Step 3:

[1630] Server: Retrieve the photo data stored in Firebase Storage and save it to the database. The server saves the photo file URL and metadata such as the upload date and time to Firebase Firestore. Once saving is complete, proceed to the next step.

[1631] Step 4:

[1632] Terminal: Provides a form for entering profile information (industry, job title, age) of the target user. The client enters information in each field and clicks the submit button. The entered information is sent from the terminal to the server.

[1633] Step 5:

[1634] Server: Receives the profile information sent from the client and saves it to the database. The profile information is stored in Firebase Firestore and associated with the photo data. Once saved, proceed to the next step.

[1635] Step 6:

[1636] Server: Sends photo data to the Google Cloud Vision API and performs emotion recognition. Receives emotion data (e.g., joy, sadness, anger, etc.) returned from the API. Analyzes and quantifies the received emotion data. Stores the analysis results in a database and proceeds to the next step.

[1637] Step 7:

[1638] Server: Determines image processing parameters (brightness, background color, contrast, etc.) based on profile information and emotion data. Sets these parameters and prepares them as input data for the AI ​​model.

[1639] Step 8:

[1640] Server and AI model: Using TensorFlow, the photo is processed based on the set image processing parameters. A specific prompt is input to the generation AI model. For example, the following prompt is used to generate an image:

[1641] Please generate the best advertising visual for a 30-year-old salesperson. The emotion of the photo is recognized as "joy." Please use a light background, high brightness, and strong contrast settings.

[1642] The AI ​​model processes the photo according to the prompt, generates the optimal advertising visual, and returns the generated image to the server.

[1643] Step 9:

[1644] Server: Saves the generated ad visuals to the database. Once saved, sends a notification to the client to let them know the image has been generated.

[1645] Step 10:

[1646] Terminal: The client accesses the UI to view the generated ad visuals. The generated images are displayed on the terminal, and the client can view them and download them if necessary.

[1647] By following these steps, clients can automatically generate optimal advertising visuals based on the emotions and profiles of their target users, thereby enhancing their marketing effectiveness.

[1648] 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.

[1649] 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.

[1650] 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.

[1651] 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.

[1652] 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.

[1653] 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.

[1654] 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).

[1655] 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.

[1656] 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."

[1657] 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.

[1658] 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).

[1659] 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.

[1660] 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.

[1661] 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.

[1662] 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.

[1663] 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.

[1664] 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.

[1665] 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.

[1666] 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.
