[0037] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[0038] Server Operation

[0039] The server processes the audio and video data received from the source of online classes and lectures. First, the audio data is acquired in real time and converted into text data using a speech recognition engine. At the same time, text written on a whiteboard or blackboard is extracted from the video data using image analysis. This allows the content of the class or lecture to be organized as text data.

[0040] Next, the acquired text data is translated using generative AI into the user's desired language. The translation results include both the content obtained through speech recognition and the characters extracted through image analysis. New video data is generated based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on this video data.

[0041] Finally, the server sends the new translated video data to the user's device for real-time streaming, allowing the user to watch the lecture or presentation in their preferred language.

[0042] Device behavior

[0043] The terminal (user device) connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data of classes and lectures. The user operates the terminal to select the desired lecture or presentation and make the necessary settings. The video data sent from the server is received in real time and the video is displayed on the terminal screen.

[0044] The device also has the ability to adjust the video quality and volume based on the user's settings, and also supports the user's choice of translation language, sending this information along with the connection request to the server.

[0045] User operations

[0046] Users can participate in online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. First, they access the website and select the lecture or presentation they want. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[0047] At the start of a class or lecture, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then view the video with the translated content overlaid. The playback speed and volume can also be adjusted as needed.

[0048] Specific examples

[0049] Example 1: Watching online lectures from a Japanese university translated into English

[0050] 1. User A accesses a website to participate in an online lecture at a Japanese university, selects the lecture, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[0051] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the lecture. The server recognizes the voice data in real time and extracts the characters written on the whiteboard.

[0052] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User A's device in real time.

[0053] 4. User A watches the lecture translated into English in real time through his / her terminal.

[0054] Example 2: Translating a Korean business seminar into Spanish and watching it

[0055] 1. User B accesses the dedicated application to select a seminar to participate in an online business seminar in Korea, and selects Spanish as the desired translation language.

[0056] 2. User B's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the seminar streaming data. The server performs real-time speech recognition and extracts the text displayed on the slides and whiteboard.

[0057] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Korean audio and text into Spanish and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User B's device in real time.

[0058] 4. User B watches the seminar translated into Spanish in real time through his terminal.

[0059] This allows users to overcome language barriers and access high-quality education and information from around the world in real time.

[0060] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0061] Server Processing

[0062] Step 1:

[0063] The server receives a connection request from a user for an online class or lecture. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[0064] Step 2:

[0065] The server receives live video and audio data of classes and lectures from the source, and converts the received data into a format that can be processed in real time.

[0066] Step 3:

[0067] The server activates an AI engine and performs real-time speech recognition on the voice data, converting the recognized content into text data.

[0068] Step 4:

[0069] The server uses image analysis to extract text written on the whiteboard or blackboard from the video data, and this text data is also saved as text.

[0070] Step 5:

[0071] The server's AI translates the speech recognition results and extracted characters into the specified language. The translation process is performed in real time, and the converted text is generated.

[0072] Step 6:

[0073] The server generates new video data using the translated text, which includes a process of overlaying the translation results onto the video.

[0074] Step 7:

[0075] The server streams the translated video data to the viewer in real time, controlling the data transmission to the user's device to minimize delays.

[0076] Terminal handling

[0077] Step 1:

[0078] The terminal (user device) sends a connection request to the server in response to a user's operation. The request includes the user ID, the class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[0079] Step 2:

[0080] The device receives real-time streaming data sent from the server, which is then instantly decoded and converted into a playable format.

[0081] Step 3:

[0082] The device plays the video data and displays it for the user to view, with the translated text overlaid on the video.

[0083] Step 4:

[0084] The device has the ability to adjust video quality, volume, etc. based on user settings. Users can adjust these parameters through the settings menu.

[0085] User operations

[0086] Step 1:

[0087] Users access online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. Users select the lecture or lecture they want.

[0088] Step 2:

[0089] The user selects the translation language and other settings (image quality, volume, etc.) that are included in the request sent to the server.

[0090] Step 3:

[0091] Users can watch the live stream through their devices and adjust the playback speed and volume as needed while watching.

[0092] Step 4:

[0093] Users can check the translation results in the video to understand the content of the class or lecture, and can also perform other operations on the screen as needed.

[0094] At each step, the server, terminal, and user work together to create a system that provides translated video in real time.

[0095] Example 1

[0096] 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."

[0097] In modern society, online classes and lectures are becoming more and more common, creating a demand for systems that allow users to watch classes and lectures in different languages. However, existing systems often only support a limited number of languages ​​and lack real-time translation capabilities. Furthermore, few systems offer the ability to translate text information contained in videos or provide easy user settings. This presents a challenge for users, making it difficult to smoothly understand the content of classes and lectures in their own language.

[0098] 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.

[0099] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving voice data and performing voice recognition in real time, image analysis means for extracting characters from video data, artificial intelligence means for translating the voice recognition results and the extracted characters into a desired language, means for generating new video data including the translated voice recognition results and characters, a terminal for displaying the video data reflecting the user's desired settings, and means for streaming the translated video data to viewers in real time. This allows users to view classes and lectures in their desired language in real time, making it easy to acquire education and information beyond language barriers.

[0113] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[0114] Server Operation

[0115] The server processes audio and video data from the source of online classes and lectures. First, the server acquires the audio data received from the source in real time and converts it into text data using a speech recognition engine (e.g., cloud speech recognition API). At the same time, the server extracts the text written on the slab from the video data using image analysis (e.g., image analysis library). This allows the content of the class or lecture to be organized as text data.

[0116] The server then uses a generative AI model (e.g., a generative AI engine) to translate the acquired text data into the user's desired language. The translation results include both the content obtained through speech recognition and the characters extracted through image analysis. The server then generates new video data based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on the video data.

[0117] Finally, the server sends the new translated video data to the user's device for real-time streaming, allowing the user to watch the lecture or presentation in their preferred language.

[0118] Device behavior

[0119] The terminal (user device) connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data of classes and lectures. The user operates the terminal to select the desired class or lecture and make the necessary settings. The terminal receives the video data sent from the server in real time and displays the video on the terminal screen. The terminal also has the function to adjust the video quality and volume based on the user's settings, and supports the selection of the user's preferred translation language. This information is sent along with the connection request to the server.

[0120] User operations

[0121] Users can participate in online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. First, users access the system and select the class or lecture they want to attend. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[0122] When a class or lecture begins, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then view the video with the translated content overlaid. The user can also adjust the playback speed and volume as needed.

[0123] Specific examples

[0124] Example 1: Watching online lectures from a Japanese university translated into English

[0125] 1. User A accesses a website to participate in an online lecture at a Japanese university, selects the lecture, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[0126] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the lecture. The server recognizes the audio data in real time and extracts the characters written on the board.

[0127] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User A's device in real time.

[0128] 4. User A watches the lecture translated into English in real time through his / her terminal.

[0129] Example 2: Translating a Korean business seminar into Spanish and watching it

[0130] 1. User B accesses the dedicated application to select a seminar to participate in an online business seminar in Korea, and selects Spanish as the desired translation language.

[0131] 2. User B's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the seminar. The server performs real-time speech recognition and extracts the characters displayed on the slides and boards.

[0132] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Korean audio and text into Spanish and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User B's device in real time.

[0133] 4. User B watches the seminar translated into Spanish in real time through his terminal.

[0134] This allows users to overcome language barriers and access high-quality education and information from around the world in real time. An example of a translation prompt is "Translate the following Japanese text into English: 'Hello, everyone. Today's math class will begin.'"

[0135] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0136] Step 1:

[0137] The server receives the audio and video data.

[0138] Specifically, the server receives audio and video data in real time from the source of online classes and lectures. At this time, the audio and video data are sent in streaming format through a specific port on the server (e.g., TCP port 8000). The server receives the data using WebSocket and temporarily stores it in a buffer.

[0139] Input: Audio and video data from the source

[0140] Output: Audio and video buffers

[0141] Step 2:

[0142] The server converts the voice data into text data.

[0143] The server sends the received voice data to a cloud speech recognition API, which converts the voice data into text data in real time. The speech recognition engine analyzes the voice signal and converts the content into appropriate text.

[0144] Input: Audio data buffer

[0145] Output: Text data

[0146] Step 3:

[0147] The server extracts the text from the video data.

[0148] The server analyzes the video data using an image analysis library and extracts characters written on a board (whiteboard or blackboard). An image processing algorithm is used to detect character regions and perform character recognition. The character information extracted from the video data is then saved as text data.

[0149] Input: Video data buffer

[0150] Output: Text data of extracted characters

[0151] Step 4:

[0152] The server translates the text data.

[0153] The server uses a generative AI model (e.g., a generative AI engine) to translate text data obtained through speech recognition and image analysis into the user's desired language. The text data is translated by inputting the specified prompt into the generative AI model.

[0154] Input: Text data obtained through voice recognition and image analysis, translation language desired by the user

[0155] Output: Translated text data

[0156] Example prompt: "Translate the following Japanese text into English: 'Hello everyone. Today we will begin our math class.'"

[0157] Step 5:

[0158] The server generates the translated text as new video data.

[0159] The server overlays the translated text data onto the video data to generate new video data. To do this, the server performs text overlay processing on the video frames and performs rendering.

[0160] Input: translated text data, original video data

[0161] Output: New video data

[0162] Step 6:

[0163] The server transmits new video data to the terminal.

[0164] The server then streams the newly generated video data to the device in real time using a protocol such as RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol).

[0165] Input: New video data

[0166] Output: Streaming video data

[0167] Step 7:

[0168] The terminal displays the video data.

[0169] The device receives new video data from the server and displays it in real time. The device's browser or dedicated application decodes the video and displays it on the screen.

[0170] Input: New video data in streaming format

[0171] Output: The image the user sees

[0172] Step 8:

[0173] The user performs the necessary settings and operations.

[0174] While watching a class or lecture, users can change settings and perform other operations on their devices, such as changing the playback speed, adjusting the volume, or changing the translation language. These setting changes may be resent to the server as requests.

[0175] Input: User actions

[0176] Output: Updated configuration information and its reflection

[0177] (Application example 1)

[0178] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0179] When it comes to work procedures and maintenance operations within factories, language barriers can lead to reduced efficiency and increased risk of operational errors. This issue is particularly pronounced in environments with multinational workers or when introducing new machinery. Furthermore, traditional methods lack a means to simultaneously provide real-time translation and instructions, making it difficult to improve work efficiency.

[0192] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[0193] Server Operation

[0194] The server is connected to the factory's automation system. First, it captures audio and video data received from microphones and cameras in real time. The audio data is converted into text data by a voice recognition engine. Image analysis software is used to detect characters and objects in the video data and extract information about them.

[0195] Next, the generative AI system translates the acquired text data and image analysis results into the user's desired language. This translation includes both the content obtained through voice recognition and the content extracted through image analysis. An audio guide is generated based on the translated text data and overlaid on the new video data.

[0196] Finally, the server streams the new translated video data and audio guide in real time using libraries such as OpenCV, Pytesseract, SpeechRecognition, Google Trans, and gTTS. The server also sends the translation results to the factory's automation systems, which output the audio guide and video.

[0197] Device behavior

[0198] The terminal (user's device) connects to the server and receives translated video data and audio guidance in real time. The user operates the terminal to select the desired work procedure or maintenance instructions and make the necessary settings. The video data and audio guidance sent from the server are received in real time and provided to the user through the terminal's screen and speaker.

[0199] The device also has the ability to adjust the video quality and volume based on the user's settings, and also supports the user's choice of translation language, sending this information along with the connection request to the server.

[0200] User operations

[0201] Users access the automated systems in factories using a website or dedicated application to receive work procedures and maintenance instructions. First, they access the system and select the desired work procedures or instructions. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[0202] At the start of the work, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then view the video and audio guide with the translated content overlaid in real time. The user can also adjust the playback speed and volume as needed.

[0203] Specific examples

[0204] Example 1: Translating and watching the operating procedures for a new machine in a Japanese factory

[0205] 1. User A accesses a dedicated application to learn the operating procedures for a new machine in the factory, selects the operating procedures, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[0206] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the audio and video data in real time. The server recognizes the audio data and extracts text information from the video data.

[0207] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data and audio guide. The translated data is streamed to User A's device in real time.

[0208] 4. User A can watch and listen to the operating procedures translated into English in real time through the terminal.

[0209] Prompt example

[0210] Capture Japanese audio and video, translate it into English in real time, and display it.

[0211] The most accurate translation possible

[0212] Ability to overlay text on video

[0213] Function that also provides audio output

[0214] In this way, the present invention enables real-time multilingual instructions and translation within a factory, thereby improving work efficiency and safety.

[0215] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0216] Step 1:

[0217] The server captures audio and video data in real time from microphones and cameras in the factory. The audio data input includes audio instructions and work procedures in the factory, while the video data input includes images of workers and machines.

[0218] Step 2:

[0219] The server analyzes the acquired voice data using a voice recognition engine and converts it into text data. In this process, SpeechRecognition is used as the voice recognition engine, which analyzes the voice waveform data and outputs the corresponding text.

[0220] Step 3:

[0221] The server analyzes the video data using image analysis software (Pytesseract and OpenCV) and extracts text information. In this step, it detects characters and signs in the video and outputs them as text data.

[0222] Step 4:

[0223] The server converts the text data obtained from voice recognition and image analysis into the specified translation language using a generative AI system. This process uses Google Trans as the translation engine and outputs the text data translated from Japanese to the desired language, such as English.

[0224] Step 5:

[0225] The server generates new video data based on the translated text data and overlays the translated text information on the video data. It also generates an audio guide and creates audio data based on the text information. gTTS is used to generate the audio guide. The output of this step is the translated video data and audio guide.

[0226] Step 6:

[0227] The server streams the generated translated video data and audio guide in real time. The device receives this data and allows the user to view instructions for the desired work procedure or maintenance guide. The device receives the data sent from the server as input and provides the user with visual and audio information as output.

[0228] Step 7:

[0229] The user operates the device to adjust settings such as video quality, volume, and translation language. Based on the user's input, the device sends a request to the server to make the necessary adjustments. The user can then view the video with the translated content overlaid and a real-time audio guide as they work.

[0230] In this way, specific data processing and calculations are performed at each step of the server, terminal, and user, and real-time multilingual work instructions are provided.

[0231] 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.

[0232] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[0233] Server Operation

[0234] The server processes the audio and video data received from the source of online classes and lectures. First, the audio data is acquired in real time and converted into text data using a speech recognition engine. At the same time, text written on a whiteboard or blackboard is extracted from the video data using image analysis. This allows the content of the class or lecture to be organized as text data.

[0235] Next, the acquired text data is translated using generative AI into the user's desired language. The translation results include both the content obtained through speech recognition and the characters extracted through image analysis. New video data is generated based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on this video data.

[0236] Furthermore, the server uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions in real time from their facial expressions, tone of voice, and other factors. Based on the recognized emotion data, the translation results are processed to adapt to the user's emotions. The server then transmits the new translated video data to the user's device for streaming in real time. This allows users to watch classes and lectures in their preferred language and receive the optimal expressions based on their emotions.

[0237] Device behavior

[0238] The terminal (user device) connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data of classes and lectures. The user operates the terminal to select the desired lecture or presentation and make the necessary settings. The video data sent from the server is received in real time and the video is displayed on the terminal screen.

[0239] The device is equipped with a camera and microphone to recognize the user's emotions, detecting the user's facial expressions and tone of voice and sending the data to the emotion engine. The emotion engine then analyzes this data and sends the recognition results to the server. The device also has the ability to adjust the image quality and volume based on the user's settings. It also supports the user's choice of translation language, and sends this information along with the connection request to the server.

[0240] User operations

[0241] Users can participate in online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. First, they access the website and select the lecture or presentation they want. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[0242] At the start of a class or lecture, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then watch the video with the translated content overlaid on it. As the user watches, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions, and the server adjusts the translation results and video presentation accordingly. Settings such as playback speed and volume can also be adjusted as needed.

[0243] Specific examples

[0244] Example 1: Translating online lectures from a Japanese university into English and viewing them according to your emotions

[0245] 1. User A accesses a website to participate in an online lecture at a Japanese university, selects the lecture, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[0246] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the lecture. The server recognizes the audio data in real time and extracts the characters written on the whiteboard.

[0247] 3. The AI ​​translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User A's device in real time. The emotion engine recognizes User A's emotions and adjusts the translation results accordingly.

[0248] 4. User A watches the lecture in real time through the device, which is translated into English and presented in the most appropriate expression according to the user's emotions.

[0249] Example 2: Translating a Korean business seminar into Spanish and viewing it according to your emotions

[0250] 1. User B accesses the dedicated application to select a seminar to participate in an online business seminar in Korea, and selects Spanish as the desired translation language.

[0251] 2. User B's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the seminar streaming data. The server performs real-time speech recognition and extracts the text displayed on the slides and whiteboard.

[0252] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Korean audio and text into Spanish and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User B's device in real time. The emotion engine recognizes User B's emotions and adjusts the translation results accordingly.

[0253] 4. User B watches the seminar in real time through their device, which is translated into Spanish and presented in the most appropriate expressions according to their emotions.

[0254] This allows users to overcome language barriers and obtain high-quality education and information in real time in a way that best suits their own emotions.

[0255] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0256] Server Processing

[0257] Step 1:

[0258] The server receives a connection request from a user for an online class or lecture. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[0259] Step 2:

[0260] The server receives live video and audio data of classes and lectures from the source, and converts the received data into a format that can be processed in real time.

[0261] Step 3:

[0262] The server's speech recognition engine analyzes the received voice data and converts it into text data, which is then transcribed in real time.

[0263] Step 4:

[0264] The server's image analysis engine detects text written on the whiteboard and blackboard in the video data and converts it into text data, allowing the entire lecture content to be organized as text information.

[0265] Step 5:

[0266] The server's AI converts the voice recognition results and characters extracted through image analysis into the specified translation language. The translation results are generated in real time and saved as new text data.

[0267] Step 6:

[0268] The server's video generation engine generates new video data based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on the generated video data.

[0269] Step 7:

[0270] The server's emotion engine receives and analyzes the user's emotion data (facial expressions, tone of voice, etc.), and adjusts the way the translation results are expressed based on the emotion data.

[0271] Step 8:

[0272] The server streams the new translated and emotion-adapted video data to the device in real time, providing the data to the viewer without delay.

[0273] Terminal handling

[0274] Step 1:

[0275] The terminal (user device) sends a connection request to the server through a website or application. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[0276] Step 2:

[0277] The device receives real-time streaming data sent from the server, and the received video data is immediately decoded and converted into a playable format.

[0278] Step 3:

[0279] The device displays the video data on the screen and plays it for the user to view, with the translated text appropriately overlaid on the video.

[0280] Step 4:

[0281] The device is equipped with a camera and microphone to recognize the user's emotions in real time, and this data is sent to the emotion engine.

[0282] Step 5:

[0283] The device receives feedback from the emotion engine and adjusts the way the image is displayed and the translation results as needed.

[0284] Step 6:

[0285] The device provides the ability to adjust video quality, volume, playback speed, etc. based on user settings.

[0286] User operations

[0287] Step 1:

[0288] Users access online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application and select the lecture or lecture they want.

[0289] Step 2:

[0290] The user selects the translation language and other settings (quality, volume, playback speed, etc.) that are included in the connection request to the server.

[0291] Step 3:

[0292] Users watch the live stream through their devices. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions while watching, and the server adjusts the translation results and visual expressions accordingly.

[0293] Step 4:

[0294] Users can watch the video in real time, adjust the playback speed and volume as needed, and check that the translation results are optimized for emotion.

[0295] In this way, the server, terminal, and user work together at each step to create a system that provides translated and emotion-adapted video in real time.

[0296] Example 2

[0297] 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."

[0298] Conventional online classes and lecture systems make it difficult for users who speak different languages ​​to understand the content in real time. Furthermore, they are unable to provide appropriate expressions based on the user's emotions, making it difficult to improve the user's understanding and satisfaction. Furthermore, they lack emotion recognition functionality that uses the user's facial expressions and tone of voice, making it impossible to provide information in an optimal format for each individual user. This invention solves the problem of improving the user experience by removing language barriers and providing appropriate expressions based on the user's emotions in online classes and lecture systems.

[0299] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

At the same time, it extracts text from video data related to store product information using image analysis (e.g., the OpenCV and Pytesseract libraries). Based on this data, it translates the customer's question into the desired language using generative AI (e.g., the MarianMTModel in the Transformers library).

[0433] Furthermore, the server uses an emotion estimation engine (e.g., the deepface library) to recognize the customer's emotions in real time from their facial expressions and voice tone. Based on the recognized emotion data, the generative AI adapts the translation results and generates new video data, overlaid with a response including the translation results. This translation result is also adjusted based on the context. The generated video data is streamed to the customer's device in real time.

[0434] Device behavior

[0435] The terminal (user's device) connects to the server and receives real-time data on online commercial transactions. The user operates the terminal to select the desired commercial transaction or product information and make the necessary settings. The video and audio data sent from the server is received in real time and the video is displayed on the terminal screen. The terminal is equipped with a camera and microphone to recognize the user's emotions, and through these, the user's facial expressions and tone of voice are detected and the data is sent to the emotion estimation engine. The emotion estimation engine analyzes this data and sends the recognition results to the server. The terminal also has the function to adjust the video quality, volume, etc. based on the user's settings. It also supports the user's selection of the translation language they prefer, and sends this information along with the connection request to the server.

[0436] User operations

[0437] Users participate in online commerce in virtual stores using websites or dedicated applications. First, they access the store and select the desired products or services. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface. When a transaction begins, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can interact in real time with the translated content overlaid on the video. While viewing, an emotion estimation engine recognizes the user's emotions, and the server adjusts the translation results and video presentation accordingly. Settings such as playback speed and volume can also be adjusted as needed.

[0458] The above is a detailed description of the embodiment of the present invention. Through this application example, users can overcome language barriers and receive high-quality services in real time in an optimal manner according to their own emotions.

[0459] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0460] Step 1:

[0461] The server receives voice data from the user terminal in real time. This voice data is a voice signal acquired through a microphone. This voice data is input to a voice recognition engine (for example, the speech_recognition library) and converted into text data. The output is text data of the voice recognition results.

[0462] Step 2:

[0463] The server analyzes the video data received from the device. The video data includes text written on product tags and signboards. This video data is input into an image analysis engine (e.g., OpenCV and Pytesseract libraries) to extract the text from the image. The output is the extracted text data.

[0464] Step 3:

[0465] The server inputs the speech recognition results and extracted text data into a generation AI (e.g., MarianMTModel from the transformers library), which translates the text data into the desired language. The output is the translated text data.

[0466] Step 4:

[0467] The server receives data on the user's facial expressions and tone of voice captured in real time from the device's camera and microphone. This data is input into an emotion estimation engine (e.g., the deepface library) to analyze and recognize the user's emotions. The output is the user's emotion data.

[0468] Step 5:

[0469] The server uses a generation AI to generate new video data based on the translated text data and the user's emotional data. This generation AI creates new video data based on the translation results and overlays the translation results on the new video data. The output is new video data with the translation results overlaid.

[0470] Step 6:

[0471] The server then streams the newly generated video data to the user's device in real time, allowing the user to view the video with the translated content on their device.

[0472] Step 7:

[0473] Users can ask additional questions or change settings while watching the streaming video data on their device, allowing for continuous and smooth business transactions.

[0474] Through the above steps, a system is realized in which the server, terminal, and user work together to provide multilingual support and emotional adaptation in real time.

[0475] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0476] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence).

[0491] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[0492] Server Operation

[0493] The server processes the audio and video data received from the source of online classes and lectures. First, the audio data is acquired in real time and converted into text data using a speech recognition engine. At the same time, text written on a whiteboard or blackboard is extracted from the video data using image analysis. This allows the content of the class or lecture to be organized as text data.

[0494] Next, the acquired text data is translated using generative AI into the user's desired language. The translation results include both the content obtained through speech recognition and the characters extracted through image analysis.

[0507] 4. User A watches the lecture translated into English in real time through his / her terminal.

[0508] Example 2: Translating a Korean business seminar into Spanish and watching it

[0509] 1. User B accesses the dedicated application to select a seminar to participate in an online business seminar in Korea, and selects Spanish as the desired translation language.

[0510] 2. User B's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the seminar streaming data. The server performs real-time speech recognition and extracts the text displayed on the slides and whiteboard.

[0511] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Korean audio and text into Spanish and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User B's device in real time.

[0512] 4. User B watches the seminar translated into Spanish in real time through his terminal.

[0513] This allows users to overcome language barriers and access high-quality education and information from around the world in real time.

[0514] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0515] Server Processing

[0516] Step 1:

[0517] The server receives a connection request from a user for an online class or lecture. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[0518] Step 2:

[0519] The server receives live video and audio data of classes and lectures from the source, and converts the received data into a format that can be processed in real time.

[0520] Step 3:

[0521] The server activates an AI engine and performs real-time speech recognition on the voice data, converting the recognized content into text data.

[0522] Step 4:

[0523] The server uses image analysis to extract text written on the whiteboard or blackboard from the video data, and this text data is also saved as text.

[0524] Step 5:

[0525] The server's AI translates the speech recognition results and extracted characters into the specified language. The translation process is performed in real time, and the converted text is generated.

[0526] Step 6:

[0527] The server generates new video data using the translated text, which includes a process of overlaying the translation results onto the video.

[0528] Step 7:

[0529] The server streams the translated video data to the viewer in real time, controlling the data transmission to the user's device to minimize delays.

[0530] Terminal handling

[0531] Step 1:

[0532] The terminal (user device) sends a connection request to the server in response to a user's operation. The request includes the user ID, the class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[0533] Step 2:

[0534] The device receives real-time streaming data sent from the server, which is then instantly decoded and converted into a playable format.

[0535] Step 3:

[0536] The device plays the video data and displays it for the user to view, with the translated text overlaid on the video.

[0537] Step 4:

[0538] The device has the ability to adjust video quality, volume, etc. based on user settings. Users can adjust these parameters through the settings menu.

[0539] User operations

[0540] Step 1:

[0541] Users access online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. Users select the lecture or lecture they want.

[0542] Step 2:

[0543] The user selects the translation language and other settings (image quality, volume, etc.) that are included in the request sent to the server.

[0544] Step 3:

[0545] Users can watch the live stream through their devices and adjust the playback speed and volume as needed while watching.

[0546] Step 4:

[0547] Users can check the translation results in the video to understand the content of the class or lecture, and can also perform other operations on the screen as needed.

[0548] At each step, the server, terminal, and user work together to create a system that provides translated video in real time.

[0549] Example 1

[0550] 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."

[0551] In modern society, online classes and lectures are becoming more and more common, creating a demand for systems that allow users to watch classes and lectures in different languages. However, existing systems often only support a limited number of languages ​​and lack real-time translation capabilities. Furthermore, few systems offer the ability to translate text information contained in videos or provide easy user settings. This presents a challenge for users, making it difficult to smoothly understand the content of classes and lectures in their own language.

[0552] 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.

[0553] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving voice data and performing voice recognition in real time, image analysis means for extracting characters from video data, artificial intelligence means for translating the voice recognition results and the extracted characters into a desired language, means for generating new video data including the translated voice recognition results and characters, a terminal for displaying the video data reflecting the user's desired settings, and means for streaming the translated video data to viewers in real time. This allows users to view classes and lectures in their desired language in real time, making it easy to acquire education and information beyond language barriers.

[0567] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[0568] Server Operation

[0569] The server processes audio and video data from the source of online classes and lectures. First, the server acquires the audio data received from the source in real time and converts it into text data using a speech recognition engine (e.g., cloud speech recognition API). At the same time, the server extracts the text written on the slab from the video data using image analysis (e.g., image analysis library). This allows the content of the class or lecture to be organized as text data.

[0570] The server then uses a generative AI model (e.g., a generative AI engine) to translate the acquired text data into the user's desired language. The translation results include both the content obtained through speech recognition and the characters extracted through image analysis. The server then generates new video data based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on the video data.

[0571] Finally, the server sends the new translated video data to the user's device for real-time streaming, allowing the user to watch the lecture or presentation in their preferred language.

[0572] Device behavior

[0573] The terminal (user device) connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data of classes and lectures. The user operates the terminal to select the desired class or lecture and make the necessary settings. The terminal receives the video data sent from the server in real time and displays the video on the terminal screen. The terminal also has the function to adjust the video quality and volume based on the user's settings, and supports the selection of the user's preferred translation language. This information is sent along with the connection request to the server.

[0574] User operations

[0575] Users can participate in online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. First, users access the system and select the class or lecture they want to attend. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[0576] When a class or lecture begins, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then view the video with the translated content overlaid. The user can also adjust the playback speed and volume as needed.

[0577] Specific examples

[0578] Example 1: Watching online lectures from a Japanese university translated into English

[0579] 1. User A accesses a website to participate in an online lecture at a Japanese university, selects the lecture, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[0580] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the lecture. The server recognizes the audio data in real time and extracts the characters written on the board.

[0581] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User A's device in real time.

[0582] 4. User A watches the lecture translated into English in real time through his / her terminal.

[0583] Example 2: Translating a Korean business seminar into Spanish and watching it

[0584] 1. User B accesses the dedicated application to select a seminar to participate in an online business seminar in Korea, and selects Spanish as the desired translation language.

[0585] 2. User B's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the seminar. The server performs real-time speech recognition and extracts the characters displayed on the slides and boards.

[0586] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Korean audio and text into Spanish and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User B's device in real time.

[0587] 4. User B watches the seminar translated into Spanish in real time through his terminal.

[0588] This allows users to overcome language barriers and access high-quality education and information from around the world in real time. An example of a translation prompt is "Translate the following Japanese text into English: 'Hello, everyone. Today's math class will begin.'"

[0589] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0590] Step 1:

[0591] The server receives the audio and video data.

[0592] Specifically, the server receives audio and video data in real time from the source of online classes and lectures. At this time, the audio and video data are sent in streaming format through a specific port on the server (e.g., TCP port 8000). The server receives the data using WebSocket and temporarily stores it in a buffer.

[0593] Input: Audio and video data from the source

[0594] Output: Audio and video buffers

[0595] Step 2:

[0596] The server converts the voice data into text data.

[0597] The server sends the received voice data to a cloud speech recognition API, which converts the voice data into text data in real time. The speech recognition engine analyzes the voice signal and converts the content into appropriate text.

[0598] Input: Audio data buffer

[0599] Output: Text data

[0600] Step 3:

[0601] The server extracts the text from the video data.

[0602] The server analyzes the video data using an image analysis library and extracts characters written on a board (whiteboard or blackboard). An image processing algorithm is used to detect character regions and perform character recognition. The character information extracted from the video data is then saved as text data.

[0603] Input: Video data buffer

[0604] Output: Text data of extracted characters

[0605] Step 4:

[0606] The server translates the text data.

[0607] The server uses a generative AI model (e.g., a generative AI engine) to translate text data obtained through speech recognition and image analysis into the user's desired language. The text data is translated by inputting the specified prompt into the generative AI model.

[0608] Input: Text data obtained through voice recognition and image analysis, translation language desired by the user

[0609] Output: Translated text data

[0610] Example prompt: "Translate the following Japanese text into English: 'Hello everyone. Today we will begin our math class.'"

[0611] Step 5:

[0612] The server generates the translated text as new video data.

[0613] The server overlays the translated text data onto the video data to generate new video data. To do this, the server performs text overlay processing on the video frames and performs rendering.

[0614] Input: translated text data, original video data

[0615] Output: New video data

[0616] Step 6:

[0617] The server transmits new video data to the terminal.

[0618] The server then streams the newly generated video data to the device in real time using a protocol such as RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol).

[0619] Input: New video data

[0620] Output: Streaming video data

[0621] Step 7:

[0622] The terminal displays the video data.

[0623] The device receives new video data from the server and displays it in real time. The device's browser or dedicated application decodes the video and displays it on the screen.

[0624] Input: New video data in streaming format

[0625] Output: The image the user sees

[0626] Step 8:

[0627] The user performs the necessary settings and operations.

[0628] While watching a class or lecture, users can change settings and perform other operations on their devices, such as changing the playback speed, adjusting the volume, or changing the translation language. These setting changes may be resent to the server as requests.

[0629] Input: User actions

[0630] Output: Updated configuration information and its reflection

[0631] (Application example 1)

[0632] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0633] When it comes to work procedures and maintenance operations within factories, language barriers can lead to reduced efficiency and increased risk of operational errors. This issue is particularly pronounced in environments with multinational workers or when introducing new machinery. Furthermore, traditional methods lack a means to simultaneously provide real-time translation and instructions, making it difficult to improve work efficiency.

[0634] 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.

[0635] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving voice data and performing voice recognition in real time, image analysis means for extracting characters from video data, generation AI means for translating the voice recognition results and extracted characters into a desired language, means for generating new video data including the translated voice recognition results and characters, means for streaming the translated video data to viewers in real time, means for generating and outputting voice guidance in real time, and means for presenting the voice guidance and translation results to an automation system.

[0645] An "automation system" is a configuration of equipment and software that performs a specific task or process automatically.

[0646] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[0647] Server Operation

[0648] The server is connected to the factory's automation system. First, it captures audio and video data received from microphones and cameras in real time. The audio data is converted into text data by a voice recognition engine. Image analysis software is used to detect characters and objects in the video data and extract information about them.

[0649] Next, the generative AI system translates the acquired text data and image analysis results into the user's desired language. This translation includes both the content obtained through voice recognition and the content extracted through image analysis. An audio guide is generated based on the translated text data and overlaid on the new video data.

[0650] Finally, the server streams the new translated video data and audio guide in real time using libraries such as OpenCV, Pytesseract, SpeechRecognition, Google Trans, and gTTS. The server also sends the translation results to the factory's automation systems, which output the audio guide and video.

[0651] Device behavior

[0652] The terminal (user's device) connects to the server and receives translated video data and audio guidance in real time. The user operates the terminal to select the desired work procedure or maintenance instructions and make the necessary settings. The video data and audio guidance sent from the server are received in real time and provided to the user through the terminal's screen and speaker.

[0653] The device also has the ability to adjust the video quality and volume based on the user's settings, and also supports the user's choice of translation language, sending this information along with the connection request to the server.

[0654] User operations

[0655] Users access the automated systems in factories using a website or dedicated application to receive work procedures and maintenance instructions. First, they access the system and select the desired work procedures or instructions. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[0656] At the start of the work, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then view the video and audio guide with the translated content overlaid in real time. The user can also adjust the playback speed and volume as needed.

[0657] Specific examples

[0658] Example 1: Translating and watching the operating procedures for a new machine in a Japanese factory

[0659] 1. User A accesses a dedicated application to learn the operating procedures for a new machine in the factory, selects the operating procedures, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[0660] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the audio and video data in real time. The server recognizes the audio data and extracts text information from the video data.

[0661] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data and audio guide. The translated data is streamed to User A's device in real time.

[0662] 4. User A can watch and listen to the operating procedures translated into English in real time through the terminal.

[0663] Prompt example

[0664] Capture Japanese audio and video, translate it into English in real time, and display it.

[0665] The most accurate translation possible

[0666] Ability to overlay text on video

[0667] Function that also provides audio output

[0668] In this way, the present invention enables real-time multilingual instructions and translation within a factory, thereby improving work efficiency and safety.

[0669] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0670] Step 1:

[0671] The server captures audio and video data in real time from microphones and cameras in the factory. The audio data input includes audio instructions and work procedures in the factory, while the video data input includes images of workers and machines.

[0672] Step 2:

[0673] The server analyzes the acquired voice data using a voice recognition engine and converts it into text data. In this process, SpeechRecognition is used as the voice recognition engine, which analyzes the voice waveform data and outputs the corresponding text.

[0674] Step 3:

[0675] The server analyzes the video data using image analysis software (Pytesseract and OpenCV) and extracts text information. In this step, it detects characters and signs in the video and outputs them as text data.

[0676] Step 4:

[0677] The server converts the text data obtained from voice recognition and image analysis into the specified translation language using a generative AI system. This process uses Google Trans as the translation engine and outputs the text data translated from Japanese to the desired language, such as English.

[0678] Step 5:

[0679] The server generates new video data based on the translated text data and overlays the translated text information on the video data. It also generates an audio guide and creates audio data based on the text information. gTTS is used to generate the audio guide. The output of this step is the translated video data and audio guide.

[0680] Step 6:

[0681] The server streams the generated translated video data and audio guide in real time. The device receives this data and allows the user to view instructions for the desired work procedure or maintenance guide. The device receives the data sent from the server as input and provides the user with visual and audio information as output.

[0682] Step 7:

[0683] The user operates the device to adjust settings such as video quality, volume, and translation language. Based on the user's input, the device sends a request to the server to make the necessary adjustments. The user can then view the video with the translated content overlaid and a real-time audio guide as they work.

[0684] In this way, specific data processing and calculations are performed at each step of the server, terminal, and user, and real-time multilingual work instructions are provided.

[0685] 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.

[0686] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[0687] Server Operation

[0688] The server processes the audio and video data received from the source of online classes and lectures. First, the audio data is acquired in real time and converted into text data using a speech recognition engine. At the same time, text written on a whiteboard or blackboard is extracted from the video data using image analysis. This allows the content of the class or lecture to be organized as text data.

[0689] Next, the acquired text data is translated using generative AI into the user's desired language. The translation results include both the content obtained through speech recognition and the characters extracted through image analysis. New video data is generated based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on this video data.

[0690] Furthermore, the server uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions in real time from their facial expressions, tone of voice, and other factors. Based on the recognized emotion data, the translation results are processed to adapt to the user's emotions. The server then transmits the new translated video data to the user's device for streaming in real time. This allows users to watch classes and lectures in their preferred language and receive the optimal expressions based on their emotions.

[0691] Device behavior

[0692] The terminal (user device) connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data of classes and lectures. The user operates the terminal to select the desired lecture or presentation and make the necessary settings. The video data sent from the server is received in real time and the video is displayed on the terminal screen.

[0693] The device is equipped with a camera and microphone to recognize the user's emotions, detecting the user's facial expressions and tone of voice and sending the data to the emotion engine. The emotion engine then analyzes this data and sends the recognition results to the server. The device also has the ability to adjust the image quality and volume based on the user's settings. It also supports the user's choice of translation language, and sends this information along with the connection request to the server.

[0694] User operations

[0695] Users can participate in online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. First, they access the website and select the lecture or presentation they want. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[0696] At the start of a class or lecture, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then watch the video with the translated content overlaid on it. As the user watches, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions, and the server adjusts the translation results and video presentation accordingly. Settings such as playback speed and volume can also be adjusted as needed.

[0697] Specific examples

[0698] Example 1: Translating online lectures from a Japanese university into English and viewing them according to your emotions

[0699] 1. User A accesses a website to participate in an online lecture at a Japanese university, selects the lecture, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[0700] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the lecture. The server recognizes the audio data in real time and extracts the characters written on the whiteboard.

[0701] 3. The AI ​​translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User A's device in real time. The emotion engine recognizes User A's emotions and adjusts the translation results accordingly.

[0702] 4. User A watches the lecture in real time through the device, which is translated into English and presented in the most appropriate expression according to the user's emotions.

[0703] Example 2: Translating a Korean business seminar into Spanish and viewing it according to your emotions

[0704] 1. User B accesses the dedicated application to select a seminar to participate in an online business seminar in Korea, and selects Spanish as the desired translation language.

[0705] 2. User B's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the seminar streaming data. The server performs real-time speech recognition and extracts the text displayed on the slides and whiteboard.

[0706] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Korean audio and text into Spanish and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User B's device in real time. The emotion engine recognizes User B's emotions and adjusts the translation results accordingly.

[0707] 4. User B watches the seminar in real time through their device, which is translated into Spanish and presented in the most appropriate expressions according to their emotions.

[0708] This allows users to overcome language barriers and obtain high-quality education and information in real time in a way that best suits their own emotions.

[0709] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0710] Server Processing

[0711] Step 1:

[0712] The server receives a connection request from a user for an online class or lecture. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[0713] Step 2:

[0714] The server receives live video and audio data of classes and lectures from the source, and converts the received data into a format that can be processed in real time.

[0715] Step 3:

[0716] The server's speech recognition engine analyzes the received voice data and converts it into text data, which is then transcribed in real time.

[0717] Step 4:

[0718] The server's image analysis engine detects text written on the whiteboard and blackboard in the video data and converts it into text data, allowing the entire lecture content to be organized as text information.

[0719] Step 5:

[0720] The server's AI converts the voice recognition results and characters extracted through image analysis into the specified translation language. The translation results are generated in real time and saved as new text data.

[0721] Step 6:

[0722] The server's video generation engine generates new video data based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on the generated video data.

[0723] Step 7:

[0724] The server's emotion engine receives and analyzes the user's emotion data (facial expressions, tone of voice, etc.), and adjusts the way the translation results are expressed based on the emotion data.

[0725] Step 8:

[0726] The server streams the new translated and emotion-adapted video data to the device in real time, providing the data to the viewer without delay.

[0727] Terminal handling

[0728] Step 1:

[0729] The terminal (user device) sends a connection request to the server through a website or application. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[0730] Step 2:

[0731] The device receives real-time streaming data sent from the server, and the received video data is immediately decoded and converted into a playable format.

[0732] Step 3:

[0733] The device displays the video data on the screen and plays it for the user to view, with the translated text appropriately overlaid on the video.

[0734] Step 4:

[0735] The device is equipped with a camera and microphone to recognize the user's emotions in real time, and this data is sent to the emotion engine.

[0736] Step 5:

[0737] The device receives feedback from the emotion engine and adjusts the way the image is displayed and the translation results as needed.

[0738] Step 6:

[0739] The device provides the ability to adjust video quality, volume, playback speed, etc. based on user settings.

[0740] User operations

[0741] Step 1:

[0742] Users access online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application and select the lecture or lecture they want.

[0743] Step 2:

[0744] The user selects the translation language and other settings (quality, volume, playback speed, etc.) that are included in the connection request to the server.

[0745] Step 3:

[0746] Users watch the live stream through their devices. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions while watching, and the server adjusts the translation results and visual expressions accordingly.

[0747] Step 4:

[0748] Users can watch the video in real time, adjust the playback speed and volume as needed, and check that the translation results are optimized for emotion.

[0749] In this way, the server, terminal, and user work together at each step to create a system that provides translated and emotion-adapted video in real time.

[0750] Example 2

[0751] 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."

[0752] Conventional online classes and lecture systems make it difficult for users who speak different languages ​​to understand the content in real time. Furthermore, they are unable to provide appropriate expressions based on the user's emotions, making it difficult to improve the user's understanding and satisfaction. Furthermore, they lack emotion recognition functionality that uses the user's facial expressions and tone of voice, making it impossible to provide information in an optimal format for each individual user. This invention solves the problem of improving the user experience by removing language barriers and providing appropriate expressions based on the user's emotions in online classes and lecture systems.

[0753] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0754] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving voice data and performing voice recognition in real time, image analysis means for extracting characters from video data, generation AI means for translating the voice recognition results and the extracted characters into a desired language, means for adapting the translation results based on the user's emotions, and means for streaming the translated video data to viewers in real time. This makes it possible to provide understandable information in real time to users who speak different languages ​​and to optimally express themselves based on their emotions.

[0885] Server Operation

[0886] The server combines multiple technologies to support communication between customers and store staff during online transactions. First, the server captures voice data in real time and converts it into text using a speech recognition engine (e.g., the speech_recognition library). At the same time, it extracts text from video data related to store product information using image analysis (e.g., the OpenCV and Pytesseract libraries). Based on this data, it translates the customer's question into the desired language using generative AI (e.g., the MarianMTModel in the Transformers library).

[0887] Furthermore, the server uses an emotion estimation engine (e.g., the deepface library) to recognize the customer's emotions in real time from their facial expressions and voice tone. Based on the recognized emotion data, the generative AI adapts the translation results and generates new video data, overlaid with a response including the translation results. This translation result is also adjusted based on the context. The generated video data is streamed to the customer's device in real time.

[0888] Device behavior

[0889] The terminal (user's device) connects to the server and receives real-time data on online commercial transactions. The user operates the terminal to select the desired commercial transaction or product information and make the necessary settings.

[0912] The above is a detailed description of the embodiment of the present invention. Through this application example, users can overcome language barriers and receive high-quality services in real time in an optimal manner according to their own emotions.

[0913] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0914] Step 1:

[0915] The server receives voice data from the user terminal in real time. This voice data is a voice signal acquired through a microphone. This voice data is input to a voice recognition engine (for example, the speech_recognition library) and converted into text data. The output is text data of the voice recognition results.

[0916] Step 2:

[0917] The server analyzes the video data received from the device. The video data includes text written on product tags and signboards. This video data is input into an image analysis engine (e.g., OpenCV and Pytesseract libraries) to extract the text from the image. The output is the extracted text data.

[0918] Step 3:

[0919] The server inputs the speech recognition results and extracted text data into a generation AI (e.g., MarianMTModel from the transformers library), which translates the text data into the desired language. The output is the translated text data.

[0920] Step 4:

[0921] The server receives data on the user's facial expressions and tone of voice captured in real time from the device's camera and microphone. This data is input into an emotion estimation engine (e.g., the deepface library) to analyze and recognize the user's emotions. The output is the user's emotion data.

[0922] Step 5:

[0923] The server uses a generation AI to generate new video data based on the translated text data and the user's emotional data. This generation AI creates new video data based on the translation results and overlays the translation results on the new video data. The output is new video data with the translation results overlaid.

[0924] Step 6:

[0925] The server then streams the newly generated video data to the user's device in real time, allowing the user to view the video with the translated content on their device.

[0926] Step 7:

[0927] Users can ask additional questions or change settings while watching the streaming video data on their device, allowing for continuous and smooth business transactions.

[0928] Through the above steps, a system is realized in which the server, terminal, and user work together to provide multilingual support and emotional adaptation in real time.

[0929] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0930] 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.

[0966] 4. User B watches the seminar translated into Spanish in real time through his terminal.

[0967] This allows users to overcome language barriers and access high-quality education and information from around the world in real time.

[0968] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0969] Server Processing

[0970] Step 1:

[0971] The server receives a connection request from a user for an online class or lecture. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[0972] Step 2:

[0973] The server receives live video and audio data of classes and lectures from the source, and converts the received data into a format that can be processed in real time.

[0974] Step 3:

[0975] The server activates an AI engine and performs real-time speech recognition on the voice data, converting the recognized content into text data.

[0976] Step 4:

[0977] The server uses image analysis to extract text written on the whiteboard or blackboard from the video data, and this text data is also saved as text.

[0978] Step 5:

[0979] The server's AI translates the speech recognition results and extracted characters into the specified language. The translation process is performed in real time, and the converted text is generated.

[0980] Step 6:

[0981] The server generates new video data using the translated text, which includes a process of overlaying the translation results onto the video.

[0982] Step 7:

[0983] The server streams the translated video data to the viewer in real time, controlling the data transmission to the user's device to minimize delays.

[0984] Terminal handling

[0985] Step 1:

[0986] The terminal (user device) sends a connection request to the server in response to a user's operation. The request includes the user ID, the class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[0987] Step 2:

[0988] The device receives real-time streaming data sent from the server, which is then instantly decoded and converted into a playable format.

[0989] Step 3:

[0990] The device plays the video data and displays it for the user to view, with the translated text overlaid on the video.

[0991] Step 4:

[0992] The device has the ability to adjust video quality, volume, etc. based on user settings. Users can adjust these parameters through the settings menu.

[0993] User operations

[0996] Step 2:

[0997] The user selects the translation language and other settings (image quality, volume, etc.) that are included in the request sent to the server.

[0998] Step 3:

[0999] Users can watch the live stream through their devices and adjust the playback speed and volume as needed while watching.

[1000] Step 4:

[1001] Users can check the translation results in the video to understand the content of the class or lecture, and can also perform other operations on the screen as needed.

[1002] At each step, the server, terminal, and user work together to create a system that provides translated video in real time.

[1003] Example 1

[1004] 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."

[1005] In modern society, online classes and lectures are becoming more and more common, creating a demand for systems that allow users to watch classes and lectures in different languages. However, existing systems often only support a limited number of languages ​​and lack real-time translation capabilities. Furthermore, few systems offer the ability to translate text information contained in videos or provide easy user settings. This presents a challenge for users, making it difficult to smoothly understand the content of classes and lectures in their own language.

[1006] 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.

[1007] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving voice data and performing voice recognition in real time, image analysis means for extracting characters from video data, artificial intelligence means for translating the voice recognition results and the extracted characters into a desired language, means for generating new video data including the translated voice recognition results and characters, a terminal for displaying the video data reflecting the user's desired settings, and means for streaming the translated video data to viewers in real time. This allows users to view classes and lectures in their desired language in real time, making it easy to acquire education and information beyond language barriers.

[1021] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[1022] Server Operation

[1023] The server processes audio and video data from the source of online classes and lectures. First, the server acquires the audio data received from the source in real time and converts it into text data using a speech recognition engine (e.g., cloud speech recognition API). At the same time, the server extracts the text written on the slab from the video data using image analysis (e.g., image analysis library). This allows the content of the class or lecture to be organized as text data.

[1024] The server then uses a generative AI model (e.g., a generative AI engine) to translate the acquired text data into the user's desired language. The translation results include both the content obtained through speech recognition and the characters extracted through image analysis. The server then generates new video data based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on the video data.

[1025] Finally, the server sends the new translated video data to the user's device for real-time streaming, allowing the user to watch the lecture or presentation in their preferred language.

[1026] Device behavior

[1027] The terminal (user device) connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data of classes and lectures. The user operates the terminal to select the desired class or lecture and make the necessary settings. The terminal receives the video data sent from the server in real time and displays the video on the terminal screen. The terminal also has the function to adjust the video quality and volume based on the user's settings, and supports the selection of the user's preferred translation language. This information is sent along with the connection request to the server.

[1028] User operations

[1029] Users can participate in online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. First, users access the system and select the class or lecture they want to attend. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[1030] When a class or lecture begins, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then view the video with the translated content overlaid. The user can also adjust the playback speed and volume as needed.

[1031] Specific examples

[1032] Example 1: Watching online lectures from a Japanese university translated into English

[1033] 1. User A accesses a website to participate in an online lecture at a Japanese university, selects the lecture, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[1034] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the lecture. The server recognizes the audio data in real time and extracts the characters written on the board.

[1035] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User A's device in real time.

[1036] 4. User A watches the lecture translated into English in real time through his / her terminal.

[1037] Example 2: Translating a Korean business seminar into Spanish and watching it

[1038] 1. User B accesses the dedicated application to select a seminar to participate in an online business seminar in Korea, and selects Spanish as the desired translation language.

[1039] 2. User B's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the seminar. The server performs real-time speech recognition and extracts the characters displayed on the slides and boards.

[1040] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Korean audio and text into Spanish and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User B's device in real time.

[1041] 4. User B watches the seminar translated into Spanish in real time through his terminal.

[1042] This allows users to overcome language barriers and access high-quality education and information from around the world in real time. An example of a translation prompt is "Translate the following Japanese text into English: 'Hello, everyone. Today's math class will begin.'"

[1043] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1044] Step 1:

[1045] The server receives the audio and video data.

[1046] Specifically, the server receives audio and video data in real time from the source of online classes and lectures. At this time, the audio and video data are sent in streaming format through a specific port on the server (e.g., TCP port 8000). The server receives the data using WebSocket and temporarily stores it in a buffer.

[1047] Input: Audio and video data from the source

[1048] Output: Audio and video buffers

[1049] Step 2:

[1050] The server converts the voice data into text data.

[1051] The server sends the received voice data to a cloud speech recognition API, which converts the voice data into text data in real time. The speech recognition engine analyzes the voice signal and converts the content into appropriate text.

[1052] Input: Audio data buffer

[1053] Output: Text data

[1054] Step 3:

[1055] The server extracts the text from the video data.

[1056] The server analyzes the video data using an image analysis library and extracts characters written on a board (whiteboard or blackboard). An image processing algorithm is used to detect character regions and perform character recognition. The character information extracted from the video data is then saved as text data.

[1057] Input: Video data buffer

[1058] Output: Text data of extracted characters

[1059] Step 4:

[1060] The server translates the text data.

[1061] The server uses a generative AI model (e.g., a generative AI engine) to translate text data obtained through speech recognition and image analysis into the user's desired language. The text data is translated by inputting the specified prompt into the generative AI model.

[1062] Input: Text data obtained through voice recognition and image analysis, translation language desired by the user

[1063] Output: Translated text data

[1064] Example prompt: "Translate the following Japanese text into English: 'Hello everyone. Today we will begin our math class.'"

[1065] Step 5:

[1066] The server generates the translated text as new video data.

[1067] The server overlays the translated text data onto the video data to generate new video data. To do this, the server performs text overlay processing on the video frames and performs rendering.

[1068] Input: translated text data, original video data

[1069] Output: New video data

[1070] Step 6:

[1071] The server transmits new video data to the terminal.

[1072] The server then streams the newly generated video data to the device in real time using a protocol such as RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol).

[1073] Input: New video data

[1074] Output: Streaming video data

[1075] Step 7:

[1076] The terminal displays the video data.

[1077] The device receives new video data from the server and displays it in real time. The device's browser or dedicated application decodes the video and displays it on the screen.

[1078] Input: New video data in streaming format

[1079] Output: The image the user sees

[1080] Step 8:

[1081] The user performs the necessary settings and operations.

[1082] While watching a class or lecture, users can change settings and perform other operations on their devices, such as changing the playback speed, adjusting the volume, or changing the translation language. These setting changes may be resent to the server as requests.

[1083] Input: User actions

[1084] Output: Updated configuration information and its reflection

[1085] (Application example 1)

[1086] 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."

[1087] When it comes to work procedures and maintenance operations within factories, language barriers can lead to reduced efficiency and increased risk of operational errors. This issue is particularly pronounced in environments with multinational workers or when introducing new machinery. Furthermore, traditional methods lack a means to simultaneously provide real-time translation and instructions, making it difficult to improve work efficiency.

[1088] 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.

[1089] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving voice data and performing voice recognition in real time, image analysis means for extracting characters from video data, generation AI means for translating the voice recognition results and extracted characters into a desired language, means for generating new video data including the translated voice recognition results and characters, means for streaming the translated video data to viewers in real time, means for generating and outputting voice guidance in real time, and means for presenting the voice guidance and translation results to an automation system. This enables real-time multilingual instructions and translation within the factory, improving work efficiency and safety.

[1096] "Real-time" means processing occurs immediately with little delay.

[1097] "Streaming delivery" is a technology that transmits data continuously and makes it available to the recipient immediately.

[1098] "Audio description" refers to technology that provides specific information or instructions in audio form.

[1099] An "automation system" is a configuration of equipment and software that performs a specific task or process automatically.

[1100] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[1101] Server Operation

[1102] The server is connected to the factory's automation system. First, it captures audio and video data received from microphones and cameras in real time. The audio data is converted into text data by a voice recognition engine. Image analysis software is used to detect characters and objects in the video data and extract information about them.

[1103] Next, the generative AI system translates the acquired text data and image analysis results into the user's desired language. This translation includes both the content obtained through voice recognition and the content extracted through image analysis. An audio guide is generated based on the translated text data and overlaid on the new video data.

[1104] Finally, the server streams the new translated video data and audio guide in real time using libraries such as OpenCV, Pytesseract, SpeechRecognition, Google Trans, and gTTS. The server also sends the translation results to the factory's automation systems, which output the audio guide and video.

[1105] Device behavior

[1106] The terminal (user's device) connects to the server and receives translated video data and audio guidance in real time. The user operates the terminal to select the desired work procedure or maintenance instructions and make the necessary settings. The video data and audio guidance sent from the server are received in real time and provided to the user through the terminal's screen and speaker.

[1107] The device also has the ability to adjust the video quality and volume based on the user's settings, and also supports the user's choice of translation language, sending this information along with the connection request to the server.

[1108] User operations

[1109] Users access the automated systems in factories using a website or dedicated application to receive work procedures and maintenance instructions. First, they access the system and select the desired work procedures or instructions. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[1110] At the start of the work, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then view the video and audio guide with the translated content overlaid in real time. The user can also adjust the playback speed and volume as needed.

[1111] Specific examples

[1112] Example 1: Translating and watching the operating procedures for a new machine in a Japanese factory

[1113] 1. User A accesses a dedicated application to learn the operating procedures for a new machine in the factory, selects the operating procedures, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[1114] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the audio and video data in real time. The server recognizes the audio data and extracts text information from the video data.

[1115] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data and audio guide. The translated data is streamed to User A's device in real time.

[1116] 4. User A can watch and listen to the operating procedures translated into English in real time through the terminal.

[1117] Prompt example

[1118] Capture Japanese audio and video, translate it into English in real time, and display it.

[1119] The most accurate translation possible

[1120] Ability to overlay text on video

[1121] Function that also provides audio output

[1122] In this way, the present invention enables real-time multilingual instructions and translation within a factory, thereby improving work efficiency and safety.

[1123] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1124] Step 1:

[1125] The server captures audio and video data in real time from microphones and cameras in the factory. The audio data input includes audio instructions and work procedures in the factory, while the video data input includes images of workers and machines.

[1126] Step 2:

[1127] The server analyzes the acquired voice data using a voice recognition engine and converts it into text data. In this process, SpeechRecognition is used as the voice recognition engine, which analyzes the voice waveform data and outputs the corresponding text.

[1128] Step 3:

[1129] The server analyzes the video data using image analysis software (Pytesseract and OpenCV) and extracts text information. In this step, it detects characters and signs in the video and outputs them as text data.

[1130] Step 4:

[1131] The server converts the text data obtained from voice recognition and image analysis into the specified translation language using a generative AI system. This process uses Google Trans as the translation engine and outputs the text data translated from Japanese to the desired language, such as English.

[1132] Step 5:

[1133] The server generates new video data based on the translated text data and overlays the translated text information on the video data. It also generates an audio guide and creates audio data based on the text information. gTTS is used to generate the audio guide. The output of this step is the translated video data and audio guide.

[1134] Step 6:

[1135] The server streams the generated translated video data and audio guide in real time. The device receives this data and allows the user to view instructions for the desired work procedure or maintenance guide. The device receives the data sent from the server as input and provides the user with visual and audio information as output.

[1136] Step 7:

[1137] The user operates the device to adjust settings such as video quality, volume, and translation language. Based on the user's input, the device sends a request to the server to make the necessary adjustments. The user can then view the video with the translated content overlaid and a real-time audio guide as they work.

[1138] In this way, specific data processing and calculations are performed at each step of the server, terminal, and user, and real-time multilingual work instructions are provided.

[1139] 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.

[1140] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[1141] Server Operation

[1142] The server processes the audio and video data received from the source of online classes and lectures. First, the audio data is acquired in real time and converted into text data using a speech recognition engine. At the same time, text written on a whiteboard or blackboard is extracted from the video data using image analysis. This allows the content of the class or lecture to be organized as text data.

[1143] Next, the acquired text data is translated using generative AI into the user's desired language. The translation results include both the content obtained through speech recognition and the characters extracted through image analysis. New video data is generated based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on this video data.

[1144] Furthermore, the server uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions in real time from their facial expressions, tone of voice, and other factors. Based on the recognized emotion data, the translation results are processed to adapt to the user's emotions. The server then transmits the new translated video data to the user's device for streaming in real time. This allows users to watch classes and lectures in their preferred language and receive the optimal expressions based on their emotions.

[1145] Device behavior

[1146] The terminal (user device) connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data of classes and lectures. The user operates the terminal to select the desired lecture or presentation and make the necessary settings. The video data sent from the server is received in real time and the video is displayed on the terminal screen.

[1147] The device is equipped with a camera and microphone to recognize the user's emotions, detecting the user's facial expressions and tone of voice and sending the data to the emotion engine. The emotion engine then analyzes this data and sends the recognition results to the server. The device also has the ability to adjust the image quality and volume based on the user's settings. It also supports the user's choice of translation language, and sends this information along with the connection request to the server.

[1148] User operations

[1149] Users can participate in online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. First, they access the website and select the lecture or presentation they want. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[1150] At the start of a class or lecture, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then watch the video with the translated content overlaid on it. As the user watches, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions, and the server adjusts the translation results and video presentation accordingly. Settings such as playback speed and volume can also be adjusted as needed.

[1151] Specific examples

[1152] Example 1: Translating online lectures from a Japanese university into English and viewing them according to your emotions

[1153] 1. User A accesses a website to participate in an online lecture at a Japanese university, selects the lecture, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[1154] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the lecture. The server recognizes the audio data in real time and extracts the characters written on the whiteboard.

[1155] 3. The AI ​​translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User A's device in real time. The emotion engine recognizes User A's emotions and adjusts the translation results accordingly.

[1156] 4. User A watches the lecture in real time through the device, which is translated into English and presented in the most appropriate expression according to the user's emotions.

[1157] Example 2: Translating a Korean business seminar into Spanish and viewing it according to your emotions

[1158] 1. User B accesses the dedicated application to select a seminar to participate in an online business seminar in Korea, and selects Spanish as the desired translation language.

[1159] 2. User B's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the seminar streaming data. The server performs real-time speech recognition and extracts the text displayed on the slides and whiteboard.

[1160] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Korean audio and text into Spanish and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User B's device in real time. The emotion engine recognizes User B's emotions and adjusts the translation results accordingly.

[1161] 4. User B watches the seminar in real time through their device, which is translated into Spanish and presented in the most appropriate expressions according to their emotions.

[1162] This allows users to overcome language barriers and obtain high-quality education and information in real time in a way that best suits their own emotions.

[1163] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1164] Server Processing

[1165] Step 1:

[1166] The server receives a connection request from a user for an online class or lecture. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[1167] Step 2:

[1168] The server receives live video and audio data of classes and lectures from the source, and converts the received data into a format that can be processed in real time.

[1169] Step 3:

[1170] The server's speech recognition engine analyzes the received voice data and converts it into text data, which is then transcribed in real time.

[1171] Step 4:

[1172] The server's image analysis engine detects text written on the whiteboard and blackboard in the video data and converts it into text data, allowing the entire lecture content to be organized as text information.

[1173] Step 5:

[1174] The server's AI converts the voice recognition results and characters extracted through image analysis into the specified translation language. The translation results are generated in real time and saved as new text data.

[1175] Step 6:

[1176] The server's video generation engine generates new video data based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on the generated video data.

[1177] Step 7:

[1178] The server's emotion engine receives and analyzes the user's emotion data (facial expressions, tone of voice, etc.), and adjusts the way the translation results are expressed based on the emotion data.

[1179] Step 8:

[1180] The server streams the new translated and emotion-adapted video data to the device in real time, providing the data to the viewer without delay.

[1181] Terminal handling

[1182] Step 1:

[1183] The terminal (user device) sends a connection request to the server through a website or application. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[1184] Step 2:

[1185] The device receives real-time streaming data sent from the server, and the received video data is immediately decoded and converted into a playable format.

[1186] Step 3:

[1187] The device displays the video data on the screen and plays it for the user to view, with the translated text appropriately overlaid on the video.

[1188] Step 4:

[1189] The device is equipped with a camera and microphone to recognize the user's emotions in real time, and this data is sent to the emotion engine.

[1190] Step 5:

[1191] The device receives feedback from the emotion engine and adjusts the way the image is displayed and the translation results as needed.

[1192] Step 6:

[1193] The device provides the ability to adjust video quality, volume, playback speed, etc. based on user settings.

[1194] User operations

[1195] Step 1:

[1196] Users access online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application and select the lecture or lecture they want.

[1197] Step 2:

[1198] The user selects the translation language and other settings (quality, volume, playback speed, etc.) that are included in the connection request to the server.

[1199] Step 3:

[1200] Users watch the live stream through their devices. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions while watching, and the server adjusts the translation results and visual expressions accordingly.

[1201] Step 4:

[1202] Users can watch the video in real time, adjust the playback speed and volume as needed, and check that the translation results are optimized for emotion.

[1203] In this way, the server, terminal, and user work together at each step to create a system that provides translated and emotion-adapted video in real time.

[1204] Example 2

[1205] 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."

[1206] Conventional online classes and lecture systems make it difficult for users who speak different languages ​​to understand the content in real time. Furthermore, they are unable to provide appropriate expressions based on the user's emotions, making it difficult to improve the user's understanding and satisfaction. Furthermore, they lack emotion recognition functionality that uses the user's facial expressions and tone of voice, making it impossible to provide information in an optimal format for each individual user. This invention solves the problem of improving the user experience by removing language barriers and providing appropriate expressions based on the user's emotions in online classes and lecture systems.

[1207] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1208] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving voice data and performing voice recognition in real time, image analysis means for extracting characters from video data, generation AI means for translating the voice recognition results and the extracted characters into a desired language, means for adapting the translation results based on the user's emotions, and means for streaming the translated video data to viewers in real time. This makes it possible to provide understandable information in real time to users who speak different languages ​​and to optimally express themselves based on their emotions.

[1338] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[1339] Server Operation

[1340] The server combines multiple technologies to support communication between customers and store staff during online transactions. First, the server captures voice data in real time and converts it into text using a speech recognition engine (e.g., the speech_recognition library). At the same time, it extracts text from video data related to store product information using image analysis (e.g., the OpenCV and Pytesseract libraries). Based on this data, it translates the customer's question into the desired language using generative AI (e.g., the MarianMTModel in the Transformers library).

[1341] Furthermore, the server uses an emotion estimation engine (e.g., the deepface library) to recognize the customer's emotions in real time from their facial expressions and voice tone. Based on the recognized emotion data, the generative AI adapts the translation results and generates new video data, overlaid with a response including the translation results. This translation result is also adjusted based on the context. The generated video data is streamed to the customer's device in real time.

[1342] Device behavior

[1343] The terminal (user's device) connects to the server and receives real-time data on online commercial transactions. The user operates the terminal to select the desired commercial transaction or product information and make the necessary settings. The video and audio data sent from the server is received in real time and the video is displayed on the terminal screen. The terminal is equipped with a camera and microphone to recognize the user's emotions, and through these, the user's facial expressions and tone of voice are detected and the data is sent to the emotion estimation engine. The emotion estimation engine analyzes this data and sends the recognition results to the server. The terminal also has the function to adjust the video quality, volume, etc. based on the user's settings.

[1366] The above is a detailed description of the embodiment of the present invention. Through this application example, users can overcome language barriers and receive high-quality services in real time in an optimal manner according to their own emotions.

[1367] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1368] Step 1:

[1369] The server receives voice data from the user terminal in real time. This voice data is a voice signal acquired through a microphone. This voice data is input to a voice recognition engine (for example, the speech_recognition library) and converted into text data. The output is text data of the voice recognition results.

[1370] Step 2:

[1371] The server analyzes the video data received from the device. The video data includes text written on product tags and signboards. This video data is input into an image analysis engine (e.g., OpenCV and Pytesseract libraries) to extract the text from the image. The output is the extracted text data.

[1372] Step 3:

[1373] The server inputs the speech recognition results and extracted text data into a generation AI (e.g., MarianMTModel from the transformers library), which translates the text data into the desired language. The output is the translated text data.

[1374] Step 4:

[1375] The server receives data on the user's facial expressions and tone of voice captured in real time from the device's camera and microphone. This data is input into an emotion estimation engine (e.g., the deepface library) to analyze and recognize the user's emotions. The output is the user's emotion data.

[1376] Step 5:

[1377] The server uses a generation AI to generate new video data based on the translated text data and the user's emotional data. This generation AI creates new video data based on the translation results and overlays the translation results on the new video data. The output is new video data with the translation results overlaid.

[1378] Step 6:

[1379] The server then streams the newly generated video data to the user's device in real time, allowing the user to view the video with the translated content on their device.

[1380] Step 7:

[1381] Users can ask additional questions or change settings while watching the streaming video data on their device, allowing for continuous and smooth business transactions.

[1382] Through the above steps, a system is realized in which the server, terminal, and user work together to provide multilingual support and emotional adaptation in real time.

[1383] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314.

[1401] Server Operation

[1402] The server processes the audio and video data received from the source of online classes and lectures. First, the audio data is acquired in real time and converted into text data using a speech recognition engine. At the same time, text written on a whiteboard or blackboard is extracted from the video data using image analysis. This allows the content of the class or lecture to be organized as text data.

[1403] Next, the acquired text data is translated using generative AI into the user's desired language. The translation results include both the content obtained through speech recognition and the characters extracted through image analysis. New video data is generated based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on this video data.

[1404] Finally, the server sends the new translated video data to the user's device for real-time streaming, allowing the user to watch the lecture or presentation in their preferred language.

[1405] Device behavior

[1406] The terminal (user device) connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data of classes and lectures. The user operates the terminal to select the desired lecture or presentation and make the necessary settings.

[1408] User operations

[1409] Users can participate in online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. First, they access the website and select the lecture or presentation they want. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[1410] At the start of a class or lecture, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then view the video with the translated content overlaid. The playback speed and volume can also be adjusted as needed.

[1411] Specific examples

[1412] Example 1: Watching online lectures from a Japanese university translated into English

[1413] 1. User A accesses a website to participate in an online lecture at a Japanese university, selects the lecture, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[1414] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the lecture. The server recognizes the voice data in real time and extracts the characters written on the whiteboard.

[1415] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User A's device in real time.

[1416] 4. User A watches the lecture translated into English in real time through his / her terminal.

[1417] Example 2: Translating a Korean business seminar into Spanish and watching it

[1418] 1. User B accesses the dedicated application to select a seminar to participate in an online business seminar in Korea, and selects Spanish as the desired translation language.

[1419] 2. User B's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the seminar streaming data. The server performs real-time speech recognition and extracts the text displayed on the slides and whiteboard.

[1420] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Korean audio and text into Spanish and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User B's device in real time.

[1421] 4. User B watches the seminar translated into Spanish in real time through his terminal.

[1422] This allows users to overcome language barriers and access high-quality education and information from around the world in real time.

[1423] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1424] Server Processing

[1425] Step 1:

[1426] The server receives a connection request from a user for an online class or lecture. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[1427] Step 2:

[1428] The server receives live video and audio data of classes and lectures from the source, and converts the received data into a format that can be processed in real time.

[1429] Step 3:

[1430] The server activates an AI engine and performs real-time speech recognition on the voice data, converting the recognized content into text data.

[1431] Step 4:

[1432] The server uses image analysis to extract text written on the whiteboard or blackboard from the video data, and this text data is also saved as text.

[1433] Step 5:

[1434] The server's AI translates the speech recognition results and extracted characters into the specified language. The translation process is performed in real time, and the converted text is generated.

[1435] Step 6:

[1436] The server generates new video data using the translated text, which includes a process of overlaying the translation results onto the video.

[1437] Step 7:

[1438] The server streams the translated video data to the viewer in real time, controlling the data transmission to the user's device to minimize delays.

[1439] Terminal handling

[1440] Step 1:

[1441] The terminal (user device) sends a connection request to the server in response to a user's operation. The request includes the user ID, the class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[1442] Step 2:

[1443] The device receives real-time streaming data sent from the server, which is then instantly decoded and converted into a playable format.

[1444] Step 3:

[1445] The device plays the video data and displays it for the user to view, with the translated text overlaid on the video.

[1446] Step 4:

[1447] The device has the ability to adjust video quality, volume, etc. based on user settings. Users can adjust these parameters through the settings menu.

[1448] User operations

[1449] Step 1:

[1450] Users access online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. Users select the lecture or lecture they want.

[1451] Step 2:

[1452] The user selects the translation language and other settings (image quality, volume, etc.) that are included in the request sent to the server.

[1453] Step 3:

[1454] Users can watch the live stream through their devices and adjust the playback speed and volume as needed while watching.

[1455] Step 4:

[1456] Users can check the translation results in the video to understand the content of the class or lecture, and can also perform other operations on the screen as needed.

[1457] At each step, the server, terminal, and user work together to create a system that provides translated video in real time.

[1458] Example 1

[1459] 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."

[1460] In modern society, online classes and lectures are becoming more and more common, creating a demand for systems that allow users to watch classes and lectures in different languages. However, existing systems often only support a limited number of languages ​​and lack real-time translation capabilities. Furthermore, few systems offer the ability to translate text information contained in videos or provide easy user settings. This presents a challenge for users, making it difficult to smoothly understand the content of classes and lectures in their own language.

[1461] 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.

[1462] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving voice data and performing voice recognition in real time, image analysis means for extracting characters from video data, artificial intelligence means for translating the voice recognition results and the extracted characters into a desired language, means for generating new video data including the translated voice recognition results and characters, a terminal for displaying the video data reflecting the user's desired settings, and means for streaming the translated video data to viewers in real time. This allows users to view classes and lectures in their desired language in real time, making it easy to acquire education and information beyond language barriers.

[1476] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[1477] Server Operation

[1478] The server processes audio and video data from the source of online classes and lectures. First, the server acquires the audio data received from the source in real time and converts it into text data using a speech recognition engine (e.g., cloud speech recognition API). At the same time, the server extracts the text written on the slab from the video data using image analysis (e.g., image analysis library). This allows the content of the class or lecture to be organized as text data.

[1479] The server then uses a generative AI model (e.g., a generative AI engine) to translate the acquired text data into the user's desired language. The translation results include both the content obtained through speech recognition and the characters extracted through image analysis. The server then generates new video data based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on the video data.

[1480] Finally, the server sends the new translated video data to the user's device for real-time streaming, allowing the user to watch the lecture or presentation in their preferred language.

[1481] Device behavior

[1482] The terminal (user device) connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data of classes and lectures. The user operates the terminal to select the desired class or lecture and make the necessary settings. The terminal receives the video data sent from the server in real time and displays the video on the terminal screen. The terminal also has the function to adjust the video quality and volume based on the user's settings, and supports the selection of the user's preferred translation language. This information is sent along with the connection request to the server.

[1483] User operations

[1484] Users can participate in online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. First, users access the system and select the class or lecture they want to attend. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[1485] When a class or lecture begins, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then view the video with the translated content overlaid. The user can also adjust the playback speed and volume as needed.

[1486] Specific examples

[1487] Example 1: Watching online lectures from a Japanese university translated into English

[1488] 1. User A accesses a website to participate in an online lecture at a Japanese university, selects the lecture, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[1489] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the lecture. The server recognizes the audio data in real time and extracts the characters written on the board.

[1490] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User A's device in real time.

[1491] 4. User A watches the lecture translated into English in real time through his / her terminal.

[1492] Example 2: Translating a Korean business seminar into Spanish and watching it

[1493] 1. User B accesses the dedicated application to select a seminar to participate in an online business seminar in Korea, and selects Spanish as the desired translation language.

[1494] 2. User B's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the seminar. The server performs real-time speech recognition and extracts the characters displayed on the slides and boards.

[1495] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Korean audio and text into Spanish and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User B's device in real time.

[1496] 4. User B watches the seminar translated into Spanish in real time through his terminal.

[1497] This allows users to overcome language barriers and access high-quality education and information from around the world in real time. An example of a translation prompt is "Translate the following Japanese text into English: 'Hello, everyone. Today's math class will begin.'"

[1498] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1499] Step 1:

[1500] The server receives the audio and video data.

[1501] Specifically, the server receives audio and video data in real time from the source of online classes and lectures. At this time, the audio and video data are sent in streaming format through a specific port on the server (e.g., TCP port 8000). The server receives the data using WebSocket and temporarily stores it in a buffer.

[1502] Input: Audio and video data from the source

[1503] Output: Audio and video buffers

[1504] Step 2:

[1505] The server converts the voice data into text data.

[1506] The server sends the received voice data to a cloud speech recognition API, which converts the voice data into text data in real time. The speech recognition engine analyzes the voice signal and converts the content into appropriate text.

[1507] Input: Audio data buffer

[1508] Output: Text data

[1509] Step 3:

[1510] The server extracts the text from the video data.

[1511] The server analyzes the video data using an image analysis library and extracts characters written on a board (whiteboard or blackboard). An image processing algorithm is used to detect character regions and perform character recognition. The character information extracted from the video data is then saved as text data.

[1512] Input: Video data buffer

[1513] Output: Text data of extracted characters

[1514] Step 4:

[1515] The server translates the text data.

[1516] The server uses a generative AI model (e.g., a generative AI engine) to translate text data obtained through speech recognition and image analysis into the user's desired language. The text data is translated by inputting the specified prompt into the generative AI model.

[1517] Input: Text data obtained through voice recognition and image analysis, translation language desired by the user

[1518] Output: Translated text data

[1519] Example prompt: "Translate the following Japanese text into English: 'Hello everyone. Today we will begin our math class.'"

[1520] Step 5:

[1521] The server generates the translated text as new video data.

[1522] The server overlays the translated text data onto the video data to generate new video data. To do this, the server performs text overlay processing on the video frames and performs rendering.

[1523] Input: translated text data, original video data

[1524] Output: New video data

[1525] Step 6:

[1526] The server transmits new video data to the terminal.

[1527] The server then streams the newly generated video data to the device in real time using a protocol such as RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol).

[1528] Input: New video data

[1529] Output: Streaming video data

[1530] Step 7:

[1531] The terminal displays the video data.

[1532] The device receives new video data from the server and displays it in real time. The device's browser or dedicated application decodes the video and displays it on the screen.

[1533] Input: New video data in streaming format

[1534] Output: The image the user sees

[1535] Step 8:

[1536] The user performs the necessary settings and operations.

[1537] While watching a class or lecture, users can change settings and perform other operations on their devices, such as changing the playback speed, adjusting the volume, or changing the translation language. These setting changes may be resent to the server as requests.

[1538] Input: User actions

[1539] Output: Updated configuration information and its reflection

[1540] (Application example 1)

[1541] 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."

[1542] When it comes to work procedures and maintenance operations within factories, language barriers can lead to reduced efficiency and increased risk of operational errors. This issue is particularly pronounced in environments with multinational workers or when introducing new machinery. Furthermore, traditional methods lack a means to simultaneously provide real-time translation and instructions, making it difficult to improve work efficiency.

[1543] 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.

[1544] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving voice data and performing voice recognition in real time, image analysis means for extracting characters from video data, generation AI means for translating the voice recognition results and extracted characters into a desired language, means for generating new video data including the translated voice recognition results and characters, means for streaming the translated video data to viewers in real time, means for generating and outputting voice guidance in real time, and means for presenting the voice guidance and translation results to an automation system. This enables real-time multilingual instructions and translation within the factory, improving work efficiency and safety.

[1552] "Streaming delivery" is a technology that transmits data continuously and makes it available to the recipient immediately.

[1553] "Audio description" refers to technology that provides specific information or instructions in audio form.

[1554] An "automation system" is a configuration of equipment and software that performs a specific task or process automatically.

[1555] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[1556] Server Operation

[1557] The server is connected to the factory's automation system. First, it captures audio and video data received from microphones and cameras in real time. The audio data is converted into text data by a voice recognition engine. Image analysis software is used to detect characters and objects in the video data and extract information about them.

[1558] Next, the generative AI system translates the acquired text data and image analysis results into the user's desired language. This translation includes both the content obtained through voice recognition and the content extracted through image analysis. An audio guide is generated based on the translated text data and overlaid on the new video data.

[1559] Finally, the server streams the new translated video data and audio guide in real time using libraries such as OpenCV, Pytesseract, SpeechRecognition, Google Trans, and gTTS. The server also sends the translation results to the factory's automation systems, which output the audio guide and video.

[1560] Device behavior

[1561] The terminal (user's device) connects to the server and receives translated video data and audio guidance in real time. The user operates the terminal to select the desired work procedure or maintenance instructions and make the necessary settings. The video data and audio guidance sent from the server are received in real time and provided to the user through the terminal's screen and speaker.

[1562] The device also has the ability to adjust the video quality and volume based on the user's settings, and also supports the user's choice of translation language, sending this information along with the connection request to the server.

[1563] User operations

[1564] Users access the automated systems in factories using a website or dedicated application to receive work procedures and maintenance instructions. First, they access the system and select the desired work procedures or instructions. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[1565] At the start of the work, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then view the video and audio guide with the translated content overlaid in real time. The user can also adjust the playback speed and volume as needed.

[1566] Specific examples

[1567] Example 1: Translating and watching the operating procedures for a new machine in a Japanese factory

[1568] 1. User A accesses a dedicated application to learn the operating procedures for a new machine in the factory, selects the operating procedures, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[1569] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the audio and video data in real time. The server recognizes the audio data and extracts text information from the video data.

[1570] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data and audio guide. The translated data is streamed to User A's device in real time.

[1571] 4. User A can watch and listen to the operating procedures translated into English in real time through the terminal.

[1572] Prompt example

[1573] Capture Japanese audio and video, translate it into English in real time, and display it.

[1574] The most accurate translation possible

[1575] Ability to overlay text on video

[1576] Function that also provides audio output

[1577] In this way, the present invention enables real-time multilingual instructions and translation within a factory, thereby improving work efficiency and safety.

[1578] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1579] Step 1:

[1580] The server captures audio and video data in real time from microphones and cameras in the factory. The audio data input includes audio instructions and work procedures in the factory, while the video data input includes images of workers and machines.

[1581] Step 2:

[1582] The server analyzes the acquired voice data using a voice recognition engine and converts it into text data. In this process, SpeechRecognition is used as the voice recognition engine, which analyzes the voice waveform data and outputs the corresponding text.

[1583] Step 3:

[1584] The server analyzes the video data using image analysis software (Pytesseract and OpenCV) and extracts text information. In this step, it detects characters and signs in the video and outputs them as text data.

[1585] Step 4:

[1586] The server converts the text data obtained from voice recognition and image analysis into the specified translation language using a generative AI system. This process uses Google Trans as the translation engine and outputs the text data translated from Japanese to the desired language, such as English.

[1587] Step 5:

[1588] The server generates new video data based on the translated text data and overlays the translated text information on the video data. It also generates an audio guide and creates audio data based on the text information. gTTS is used to generate the audio guide. The output of this step is the translated video data and audio guide.

[1589] Step 6:

[1590] The server streams the generated translated video data and audio guide in real time. The device receives this data and allows the user to view instructions for the desired work procedure or maintenance guide. The device receives the data sent from the server as input and provides the user with visual and audio information as output.

[1591] Step 7:

[1592] The user operates the device to adjust settings such as video quality, volume, and translation language. Based on the user's input, the device sends a request to the server to make the necessary adjustments. The user can then view the video with the translated content overlaid and a real-time audio guide as they work.

[1593] In this way, specific data processing and calculations are performed at each step of the server, terminal, and user, and real-time multilingual work instructions are provided.

[1594] 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.

[1595] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[1596] Server Operation

[1597] The server processes the audio and video data received from the source of online classes and lectures. First, the audio data is acquired in real time and converted into text data using a speech recognition engine. At the same time, text written on a whiteboard or blackboard is extracted from the video data using image analysis. This allows the content of the class or lecture to be organized as text data.

[1598] Next, the acquired text data is translated using generative AI into the user's desired language. The translation results include both the content obtained through speech recognition and the characters extracted through image analysis. New video data is generated based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on this video data.

[1599] Furthermore, the server uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions in real time from their facial expressions, tone of voice, and other factors. Based on the recognized emotion data, the translation results are processed to adapt to the user's emotions. The server then transmits the new translated video data to the user's device for streaming in real time. This allows users to watch classes and lectures in their preferred language and receive the optimal expressions based on their emotions.

[1600] Device behavior

[1601] The terminal (user device) connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data of classes and lectures. The user operates the terminal to select the desired lecture or presentation and make the necessary settings. The video data sent from the server is received in real time and the video is displayed on the terminal screen.

[1602] The device is equipped with a camera and microphone to recognize the user's emotions, detecting the user's facial expressions and tone of voice and sending the data to the emotion engine. The emotion engine then analyzes this data and sends the recognition results to the server. The device also has the ability to adjust the image quality and volume based on the user's settings. It also supports the user's choice of translation language, and sends this information along with the connection request to the server.

[1603] User operations

[1604] Users can participate in online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application. First, they access the website and select the lecture or presentation they want. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface.

[1605] At the start of a class or lecture, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can then watch the video with the translated content overlaid on it. As the user watches, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions, and the server adjusts the translation results and video presentation accordingly. Settings such as playback speed and volume can also be adjusted as needed.

[1606] Specific examples

[1607] Example 1: Translating online lectures from a Japanese university into English and viewing them according to your emotions

[1608] 1. User A accesses a website to participate in an online lecture at a Japanese university, selects the lecture, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[1609] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the streaming data of the lecture. The server recognizes the audio data in real time and extracts the characters written on the whiteboard.

[1610] 3. The AI ​​translates the Japanese audio and text into English and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User A's device in real time. The emotion engine recognizes User A's emotions and adjusts the translation results accordingly.

[1611] 4. User A watches the lecture in real time through the device, which is translated into English and presented in the most appropriate expression according to the user's emotions.

[1612] Example 2: Translating a Korean business seminar into Spanish and viewing it according to your emotions

[1613] 1. User B accesses the dedicated application to select a seminar to participate in an online business seminar in Korea, and selects Spanish as the desired translation language.

[1614] 2. User B's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives the seminar streaming data. The server performs real-time speech recognition and extracts the text displayed on the slides and whiteboard.

[1615] 3. The server's generation AI translates the Korean audio and text into Spanish and generates new video data. The translated video data is streamed to User B's device in real time. The emotion engine recognizes User B's emotions and adjusts the translation results accordingly.

[1616] 4. User B watches the seminar in real time through their device, which is translated into Spanish and presented in the most appropriate expressions according to their emotions.

[1617] This allows users to overcome language barriers and obtain high-quality education and information in real time in a way that best suits their own emotions.

[1618] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1619] Server Processing

[1620] Step 1:

[1621] The server receives a connection request from a user for an online class or lecture. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[1622] Step 2:

[1623] The server receives live video and audio data of classes and lectures from the source, and converts the received data into a format that can be processed in real time.

[1624] Step 3:

[1625] The server's speech recognition engine analyzes the received voice data and converts it into text data, which is then transcribed in real time.

[1626] Step 4:

[1627] The server's image analysis engine detects text written on the whiteboard and blackboard in the video data and converts it into text data, allowing the entire lecture content to be organized as text information.

[1628] Step 5:

[1629] The server's AI converts the voice recognition results and characters extracted through image analysis into the specified translation language. The translation results are generated in real time and saved as new text data.

[1630] Step 6:

[1631] The server's video generation engine generates new video data based on the translated text data, and the translation results are overlaid on the generated video data.

[1632] Step 7:

[1633] The server's emotion engine receives and analyzes the user's emotion data (facial expressions, tone of voice, etc.), and adjusts the way the translation results are expressed based on the emotion data.

[1634] Step 8:

[1635] The server streams the new translated and emotion-adapted video data to the device in real time, providing the data to the viewer without delay.

[1636] Terminal handling

[1637] Step 1:

[1638] The terminal (user device) sends a connection request to the server through a website or application. The request includes the user ID, the desired class / lecture ID, and the desired translation language.

[1639] Step 2:

[1640] The device receives real-time streaming data sent from the server, and the received video data is immediately decoded and converted into a playable format.

[1641] Step 3:

[1642] The device displays the video data on the screen and plays it for the user to view, with the translated text appropriately overlaid on the video.

[1643] Step 4:

[1644] The device is equipped with a camera and microphone to recognize the user's emotions in real time, and this data is sent to the emotion engine.

[1645] Step 5:

[1646] The device receives feedback from the emotion engine and adjusts the way the image is displayed and the translation results as needed.

[1647] Step 6:

[1648] The device provides the ability to adjust video quality, volume, playback speed, etc. based on user settings.

[1649] User operations

[1650] Step 1:

[1651] Users access online classes or lectures using a website or dedicated application and select the lecture or lecture they want.

[1652] Step 2:

[1653] The user selects the translation language and other settings (quality, volume, playback speed, etc.) that are included in the connection request to the server.

[1654] Step 3:

[1655] Users watch the live stream through their devices. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions while watching, and the server adjusts the translation results and visual expressions accordingly.

[1656] Step 4:

[1657] Users can watch the video in real time, adjust the playback speed and volume as needed, and check that the translation results are optimized for emotion.

[1658] In this way, the server, terminal, and user work together at each step to create a system that provides translated and emotion-adapted video in real time.

[1659] Example 2

[1660] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1661] Conventional online classes and lecture systems make it difficult for users who speak different languages ​​to understand the content in real time. Furthermore, they are unable to provide appropriate expressions based on the user's emotions, making it difficult to improve the user's understanding and satisfaction. Furthermore, they lack emotion recognition functionality that uses the user's facial expressions and tone of voice, making it impossible to provide information in an optimal format for each individual user. This invention solves the problem of improving the user experience by removing language barriers and providing appropriate expressions based on the user's emotions in online classes and lecture systems.

[1662] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1663] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving voice data and performing voice recognition in real time, image analysis means for extracting characters from video data, generation AI means for translating the voice recognition results and the extracted characters into a desired language, means for adapting the translation results based on the user's emotions, and means for streaming the translated video data to viewers in real time. This makes it possible to provide understandable information in real time to users who speak different languages ​​and to optimally express themselves based on their emotions.

[1793] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained mainly from the viewpoints of the server, the terminal, and the user.

[1794] Server Operation

[1795] The server combines multiple technologies to support communication between customers and store staff during online transactions. First, the server captures voice data in real time and converts it into text using a speech recognition engine (e.g., the speech_recognition library). At the same time, it extracts text from video data related to store product information using image analysis (e.g., the OpenCV and Pytesseract libraries). Based on this data, it translates the customer's question into the desired language using generative AI (e.g., the MarianMTModel in the Transformers library).

[1796] Furthermore, the server uses an emotion estimation engine (e.g., the deepface library) to recognize the customer's emotions in real time from their facial expressions and voice tone. Based on the recognized emotion data, the generative AI adapts the translation results and generates new video data, overlaid with a response including the translation results. This translation result is also adjusted based on the context. The generated video data is streamed to the customer's device in real time.

[1797] Device behavior

[1798] The terminal (user's device) connects to the server and receives real-time data on online commercial transactions. The user operates the terminal to select the desired commercial transaction or product information and make the necessary settings. The video and audio data sent from the server is received in real time and the video is displayed on the terminal screen. The terminal is equipped with a camera and microphone to recognize the user's emotions, and through these, the user's facial expressions and tone of voice are detected and the data is sent to the emotion estimation engine. The emotion estimation engine analyzes this data and sends the recognition results to the server. The terminal also has the function to adjust the video quality, volume, etc. based on the user's settings. It also supports the user's selection of the translation language they prefer, and sends this information along with the connection request to the server.

[1800] Users participate in online commerce in virtual stores using websites or dedicated applications. First, they access the store and select the desired products or services. Other settings (e.g., translation language, image quality settings, etc.) are also configured through the user interface. When a transaction begins, the user's device connects to the server and receives real-time streaming data. The user can interact in real time with the translated content overlaid on the video. While viewing, an emotion estimation engine recognizes the user's emotions, and the server adjusts the translation results and video presentation accordingly. Settings such as playback speed and volume can also be adjusted as needed.

[1801] Specific examples

[1802] Example 1: Translating a purchase on a Japanese e-commerce site into English and viewing it in a way that responds to emotions

[1803] 1. User A visits a website to purchase a high-quality Japanese home appliance, selects the product, and selects English as the desired translation language.

[1804] 2. User A's device sends a connection request to the server, and the server receives streaming data of product information. The server recognizes the voice data in real time and extracts information about the product.

[1805] 3. The generative AI translates the Japanese audio and text into English, and the translated video data is streamed in real time to User A's device. The emotion estimation engine recognizes User A's emotions and adjusts the translation results accordingly.

[1806] 4. User A receives product information in real time through their device, translated into English and presented in the most appropriate language based on their emotions.

[1807] Example 2: Translating a purchase from a Korean online fashion store into Spanish and providing emotionally relevant content

[1812] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1813] markdown

[1814] User says: "What is this product?"

[1815] Product tag information: "Product name: XYZ, Price: 2000 yen, Description: Clothing made with high-quality materials."

[1816] User Sentiment: "Excited"

[1817] Abstract

[1818] The user is asking about a product. Generate an appropriate answer by taking into account the information in the product tags and the user's sentiment. Please keep your answer in a friendly tone.

[1819] answer

[1820] Hello! This is the XYZ product, priced at 2000 yen. It's made with high-quality materials and is very popular!

[1821] The above is a detailed description of the embodiment of the present invention. Through this application example, users can overcome language barriers and receive high-quality services in real time in an optimal manner according to their own emotions.

[1822] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1823] Step 1:

[1824] The server receives voice data from the user terminal in real time. This voice data is a voice signal acquired through a microphone. This voice data is input to a voice recognition engine (for example, the speech_recognition library) and converted into text data. The output is text data of the voice recognition results.

[1825] Step 2:

[1826] The server analyzes the video data received from the device. The video data includes text written on product tags and signboards. This video data is input into an image analysis engine (e.g., OpenCV and Pytesseract libraries) to extract the text from the image. The output is the extracted text data.

[1827] Step 3:

[1828] The server inputs the speech recognition results and extracted text data into a generation AI (e.g., MarianMTModel from the transformers library), which translates the text data into the desired language. The output is the translated text data.

[1829] Step 4:

[1830] The server receives data on the user's facial expressions and tone of voice captured in real time from the device's camera and microphone. This data is input into an emotion estimation engine (e.g., the deepface library) to analyze and recognize the user's emotions. The output is the user's emotion data.

[1831] Step 5:

[1832] The server uses a generation AI to generate new video data based on the translated text data and the user's emotional data. This generation AI creates new video data based on the translation results and overlays the translation results on the new video data. The output is new video data with the translation results overlaid.

[1833] Step 6:

[1834] The server then streams the newly generated video data to the user's device in real time, allowing the user to view the video with the translated content on their device.

[1835] Step 7:

[1836] Users can ask additional questions or change settings while watching the streaming video data on their device, allowing for continuous and smooth business transactions.

[1837] Through the above steps, a system is realized in which the server, terminal, and user work together to provide multilingual support and emotional adaptation in real time.

[1838] 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.

[1839] 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.

[1840] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.

[1841] 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.

[1842] 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.

[1843] 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.

[1844] 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).

[1845] 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.

[1846] 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."

[1847] 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.

[1848] 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).

[1849] 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.

[1850] 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.

[1851] 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.

[1852] 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.

[1853] 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.

[1854] 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.

[1855] 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.

[1856] 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.

[1857] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
