[0522] (Application example 2)

[0523] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0524] With conventional systems, it was difficult to grasp the emotional state of patients and customers in real time in medical and customer service settings, making it difficult to respond appropriately and quickly. This made it difficult to provide services that met individual needs, and improving customer satisfaction was an issue.

[0525] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a means for a user to create an account and upload medical information and health history, a means for a healthcare provider to securely access and confirm patient information in advance, a means for the user and healthcare provider to share medical data online, a means for capturing a customer's facial expression using smart glasses and analyzing their emotions, and a means for storing the analyzed customer's emotional data in a database and making service suggestions. This makes it possible to grasp the customer's emotional state in real time and suggest appropriate services based on that.

[0526] A "user account" is individual identification information assigned to each user who uses the system.

[0527] "Medical information" is health-related data collected by healthcare providers, such as patient consultations and medical records.

[0528] "Health history" refers to records relating to an individual's health, including the patient's past medical examination results, medical history, and treatment history.

[0529] "Healthcare providers" are professionals who provide health care services, such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.

[0530] "Online" medical data sharing refers to the ability to view and update patient information in real time via the Internet.

[0531] "Smart glasses" are eyeglass-type wearable devices worn by users that have camera and display functions.

[0532] "Customer's facial expression" is information that indicates the emotional state through changes in facial expression.

[0533] "Emotion analysis" is the process of identifying individual emotional states from facial expressions and vocal acoustic patterns using image processing techniques and machine learning.

[0534] A "database" is a system for storing and managing data in digital form, and is a means for quickly retrieving data when needed.

[0535] A "service proposal" is a specific proposal to provide appropriate products or services based on the customer's needs and emotional state.

[0536] "Real-time" refers to instant data transmission and processing without delay, meaning that current information is reflected and processed immediately.

[0537] "Artificial intelligence (AI)" is a technology that enables computer systems to mimic human intelligence and learn, reason, perceive, and make decisions.

[0538] The present invention provides a system that efficiently shares medical information between healthcare providers and patients, recognizes patients' emotional states, and further improves the medical process. It also integrates emotion recognition and service suggestion functions using smart glasses to improve customer service in brick-and-mortar stores.

[0539] 1. Overview of the entire system

[0540] The system includes the following main measures:

[0541] A means for users to create accounts and upload medical information and health history

[0542] A means for healthcare providers to securely access and proactively review patient information

[0543] A means for users and healthcare providers to share medical data online

[0544] A method to capture customer facial expressions and analyze their emotions using smart glasses

[0545] A means of storing analyzed customer emotion data in a database and making service suggestions

[0546] 2. Hardware and Software Used

[0547] The system uses the following hardware and software:

[0548] Hardware:

[0549] Smart glasses (e.g. Google Glass)

[0550] Camera (built into smart glasses)

[0551] Server (operating database and AI model)

[0552] Devices (used by healthcare providers and store employees)

[0553] software:

[0554] OpenCV (camera operation and image processing)

[0555] Keras (emotion recognition model)

[0556] TensorFlow (deep learning such as sentiment analysis)

[0557] SQLite (database management)

[0558] 3. Data processing and calculation procedures

[0559] The server acquires facial expression data captured by the smart glasses and performs emotion analysis using natural language processing and image processing technologies. This involves camera operation and image processing using OpenCV, and deep learning models using Keras and TensorFlow. The analysis results are stored in an SQLite database, and service proposals for the customer are generated at specific times and displayed on the smart glasses display.

[0560] 4. Specific Examples

[0561] For example, while a customer is browsing products in a physical store, a salesperson wearing smart glasses can capture the customer's face and analyze their emotions in real time. If the customer is smiling, the system will display a notification on the salesperson's smart glasses saying, "Please suggest a new promotion." On the other hand, if the customer is sad, the system will suggest, "Provide special service." This entire process is appropriately carried out by the analysis of an AI model.

[0562] 5. Example prompts to be input to the generative AI model

[0563] "Develop an application that uses smart glasses to assist in customer service in brick-and-mortar stores. This application will provide optimal service to customers by capturing customer facial expressions in real time and analyzing their emotional state. Specifically, the application will take a photo of the customer's face with a camera, analyze the results with an emotion recognition model, and store the results in an SQLite database. Based on the analysis results, the application will suggest appropriate services to staff."

[0564] This system is expected to improve customer service in brick-and-mortar stores, and also to streamline medical procedures and empower patients in medical settings.

[0565] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0566] Step 1:

[0567] The server creates user accounts and uploads medical information and health history. Users access the system, create an account, enter their name, email address, and password, and receive a confirmation email to activate their account. They then upload past medical examination information and medical history data to the system. The server encrypts and stores the uploaded data, allowing secure access to healthcare providers.

[0568] Step 2:

[0569] The device inputs patient data in real time during medical examinations and sends it to a server. Healthcare providers use a dedicated app to input patient medical data (e.g., blood pressure, electrocardiogram results, findings, etc.) in real time. The input data is immediately sent to the server, which stores the data in a database and updates it promptly.

[0570] Step 3:

[0571] The server analyzes the collected data using artificial intelligence (AI) and generates a diagnostic suggestion. The server inputs the collected past and current medical data into the AI ​​system, which then analyzes the data. The AI ​​generates a diagnostic suggestion based on the latest medical guidelines and provides the results to healthcare providers.

[0572] Step 4:

[0573] The device captures the customer's facial expression through the smart glasses and sends the data to the server.The smart glasses' camera captures the customer's face and sends it to the server as image data.

[0574] Step 5:

[0575] The server analyzes the image data and determines the customer's emotional state. The received image data is preprocessed using OpenCV and analyzed using an emotion recognition model using Keras and TensorFlow. The emotional state (e.g., happy, sad, surprised, etc.) is determined.

[0576] Step 6:

[0577] The server saves the analysis results in a database and generates appropriate service proposals. The analyzed emotion data is stored in an SQLite database and appropriate service proposals are generated based on the customer's state. For example, if the customer is determined to be happy, a proposal such as "Propose a new promotion" is generated, and if the customer is determined to be sad, a proposal such as "Provide a special service" is generated.

[0578] Step 7:

[0579] The device notifies the smart glasses of the proposed service, which then displays the notification of the proposed service sent from the server, allowing store employees to provide the service to the customer at the appropriate time.

[0580] Through the above steps, the present invention realizes a system that improves medical and brick-and-mortar store services.

[0581] 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.

[0582] 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.

[0674] The "system" is a platform that includes all of the above elements and functions, enabling patients and healthcare providers to effectively share information and improve the quality of medical care.

[0675] The present invention provides a platform that allows users to centrally manage their personal health data and efficiently share information with healthcare providers. The system consists of the following four main modules:

[0676] 1. Creating a user account and uploading information

[0677] The user (patient) accesses the system's registration page using a web browser. They create an account by entering their name, email address, and password, and receive a confirmation email from the system. They click the link in the confirmation email to activate their account. After their account is activated, they upload their past health checkup information and medical history data to the system in file format. The server encrypts the received files and stores them securely in a database.

[0678] 2. Real-time data update app

[0679] The user (healthcare provider) uses a dedicated app to enter the patient's medical data during medical treatment. The input form includes fields for the patient's basic information, symptoms, and diagnosis results. The device immediately sends the entered data to the server. The server immediately analyzes the received data and updates it by linking it to the patient's account. This allows the medical data to be displayed in real time, and the user (patient) can immediately check the updated medical data by logging in to their account.

[0680] 3. AI-Supported Medical Treatment Guide

[0681] The server inputs the collected past medical data into the generative AI model system. The generative AI model generates a diagnostic proposal based on the analyzed data and the latest medical guidelines. The server stores the generated diagnostic proposal within the system and provides it to the user (healthcare provider). The healthcare provider logs in to the platform to check the diagnostic proposal and, based on it, develops an appropriate medical examination and treatment plan.

[0682] For example, you might input the following prompt into a generative AI model:

[0683] "A 40-year-old man has been diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure in the past. His current symptoms are frequent urination and mild chest pain. I would like a diagnosis based on his blood sugar and blood pressure data from the past year."

[0684] 4. Patient Empowerment App

[1084] (Application example 2)

[1085] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1086] With conventional systems, it was difficult to grasp the emotional state of patients and customers in real time in medical and customer service settings, making it difficult to respond appropriately and quickly. This made it difficult to provide services that met individual needs, and improving customer satisfaction was an issue.

[1087] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a means for a user to create an account and upload medical information and health history, a means for a healthcare provider to securely access and confirm patient information in advance, a means for the user and healthcare provider to share medical data online, a means for capturing a customer's facial expression using smart glasses and analyzing their emotions, and a means for storing the analyzed customer's emotional data in a database and making service suggestions. This makes it possible to grasp the customer's emotional state in real time and suggest appropriate services based on that.

[1088] A "user account" is individual identification information assigned to each user who uses the system.

[1089] "Medical information" is health-related data collected by healthcare providers, such as patient consultations and medical records.

[1090] "Health history" refers to records relating to an individual's health, including the patient's past medical examination results, medical history, and treatment history.

[1091] "Healthcare providers" are professionals who provide health care services, such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.

[1092] "Online" medical data sharing refers to the ability to view and update patient information in real time via the Internet.

[1093] "Smart glasses" are eyeglass-type wearable devices worn by users that have camera and display functions.

[1094] "Customer's facial expression" is information that indicates the emotional state through changes in facial expression.

[1095] "Emotion analysis" is the process of identifying individual emotional states from facial expressions and vocal acoustic patterns using image processing techniques and machine learning.

[1096] A "database" is a system for storing and managing data in digital form, and is a means for quickly retrieving data when needed.

[1097] A "service proposal" is a specific proposal to provide appropriate products or services based on the customer's needs and emotional state.

[1098] "Real-time" refers to instant data transmission and processing without delay, meaning that current information is reflected and processed immediately.

[1099] "Artificial intelligence (AI)" is a technology that enables computer systems to mimic human intelligence and learn, reason, perceive, and make decisions.

[1100] The present invention provides a system that efficiently shares medical information between healthcare providers and patients, recognizes patients' emotional states, and further improves the medical process. It also integrates emotion recognition and service suggestion functions using smart glasses to improve customer service in brick-and-mortar stores.

[1101] 1. Overview of the entire system

[1102] The system includes the following main measures:

[1103] A means for users to create accounts and upload medical information and health history

[1104] A means for healthcare providers to securely access and proactively review patient information

[1105] A means for users and healthcare providers to share medical data online

[1106] A method to capture customer facial expressions and analyze their emotions using smart glasses

[1107] A means of storing analyzed customer emotion data in a database and making service suggestions

[1108] 2. Hardware and Software Used

[1109] The system uses the following hardware and software:

[1110] Hardware:

[1111] Smart glasses (e.g. Google Glass)

[1112] Camera (built into smart glasses)

[1113] Server (operating database and AI model)

[1114] Devices (used by healthcare providers and store employees)

[1115] software:

[1116] OpenCV (camera operation and image processing)

[1117] Keras (emotion recognition model)

[1118] TensorFlow (deep learning such as sentiment analysis)

[1119] SQLite (database management)

[1120] 3. Data processing and calculation procedures

[1121] The server acquires facial expression data captured by the smart glasses and performs emotion analysis using natural language processing and image processing technologies. This involves camera operation and image processing using OpenCV, and deep learning models using Keras and TensorFlow. The analysis results are stored in an SQLite database, and service proposals for the customer are generated at specific times and displayed on the smart glasses display.

[1122] 4. Specific Examples

[1123] For example, while a customer is browsing products in a physical store, a salesperson wearing smart glasses can capture the customer's face and analyze their emotions in real time. If the customer is smiling, the system will display a notification on the salesperson's smart glasses saying, "Please suggest a new promotion." On the other hand, if the customer is sad, the system will suggest, "Provide special service." This entire process is appropriately carried out by the analysis of an AI model.

[1124] 5. Example prompts to be input to the generative AI model

[1125] "Develop an application that uses smart glasses to assist in customer service in brick-and-mortar stores. This application will provide optimal service to customers by capturing customer facial expressions in real time and analyzing their emotional state. Specifically, the application will take a photo of the customer's face with a camera, analyze the results with an emotion recognition model, and store the results in an SQLite database. Based on the analysis results, the application will suggest appropriate services to staff."

[1126] This system is expected to improve customer service in brick-and-mortar stores, and also to streamline medical procedures and empower patients in medical settings.

[1127] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1128] Step 1:

[1129] The server creates user accounts and uploads medical information and health history. Users access the system, create an account, enter their name, email address, and password, and receive a confirmation email to activate their account. They then upload past medical examination information and medical history data to the system. The server encrypts and stores the uploaded data, allowing secure access to healthcare providers.

[1130] Step 2:

[1131] The device inputs patient data in real time during medical examinations and sends it to a server. Healthcare providers use a dedicated app to input patient medical data (e.g., blood pressure, electrocardiogram results, findings, etc.) in real time. The input data is immediately sent to the server, which stores the data in a database and updates it promptly.

[1132] Step 3:

[1133] The server analyzes the collected data using artificial intelligence (AI) and generates a diagnostic suggestion. The server inputs the collected past and current medical data into the AI ​​system, which then analyzes the data. The AI ​​generates a diagnostic suggestion based on the latest medical guidelines and provides the results to healthcare providers.

[1134] Step 4:

[1135] The device captures the customer's facial expression through the smart glasses and sends the data to the server.The smart glasses' camera captures the customer's face and sends it to the server as image data.

[1136] Step 5:

[1137] The server analyzes the image data and determines the customer's emotional state. The received image data is preprocessed using OpenCV and analyzed using an emotion recognition model using Keras and TensorFlow. The emotional state (e.g., happy, sad, surprised, etc.) is determined.

[1138] Step 6:

[1139] The server saves the analysis results in a database and generates appropriate service proposals. The analyzed emotion data is stored in an SQLite database and appropriate service proposals are generated based on the customer's state. For example, if the customer is determined to be happy, a proposal such as "Propose a new promotion" is generated, and if the customer is determined to be sad, a proposal such as "Provide a special service" is generated.

[1140] Step 7:

[1141] The device notifies the smart glasses of the proposed service, which then displays the notification of the proposed service sent from the server, allowing store employees to provide the service to the customer at the appropriate time.

[1142] Through the above steps, the present invention realizes a system that improves medical and brick-and-mortar store services.

[1143] 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.

[1144] 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.

[1145] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the smart glasses 214.

[1229] A "dedicated app" is a software application for a specific purpose that allows users to input and manage their daily health data.

[1230] "Encryption" is a technology that converts data so that it cannot be deciphered by third parties, and is a means of storing it safely.

[1231] "Sharing medical data online" means that users and medical providers can instantly view and use information with each other via the Internet.

[1232] "Real-time updates" refers to the process by which a system instantly reflects data and keeps it up to date.

[1233] "Artificial intelligence (AI)" refers to a computer system that analyzes large amounts of data, learns, infers, and generates decisions such as diagnostic suggestions.

[1234] "Diagnostic suggestions" are specific recommendations for diagnoses and treatment plans presented to healthcare providers based on data analyzed by AI.

[1235] A "health management plan" is a specific action plan or advice provided to a user to maintain or improve their daily health.

[1236] The "system" is a platform that includes all of the above elements and functions, enabling patients and healthcare providers to effectively share information and improve the quality of medical care.

[1237] The present invention provides a platform that allows users to centrally manage their personal health data and efficiently share information with healthcare providers. The system consists of the following four main modules:

[1238] 1. Creating a user account and uploading information

[1239] The user (patient) accesses the system's registration page using a web browser. They create an account by entering their name, email address, and password, and receive a confirmation email from the system. They click the link in the confirmation email to activate their account. After their account is activated, they upload their past health checkup information and medical history data to the system in file format. The server encrypts the received files and stores them securely in a database.

[1240] 2. Real-time data update app

[1241] The user (healthcare provider) uses a dedicated app to enter the patient's medical data during medical treatment. The input form includes fields for the patient's basic information, symptoms, and diagnosis results. The device immediately sends the entered data to the server. The server immediately analyzes the received data and updates it by linking it to the patient's account. This allows the medical data to be displayed in real time, and the user (patient) can immediately check the updated medical data by logging in to their account.

[1242] 3. AI-Supported Medical Treatment Guide

[1243] The server inputs the collected past medical data into the generative AI model system. The generative AI model generates a diagnostic proposal based on the analyzed data and the latest medical guidelines. The server stores the generated diagnostic proposal within the system and provides it to the user (healthcare provider). The healthcare provider logs in to the platform to check the diagnostic proposal and, based on it, develops an appropriate medical examination and treatment plan.

[1244] For example, you might input the following prompt into a generative AI model:

[1245] "A 40-year-old man has been diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure in the past. His current symptoms are frequent urination and mild chest pain. I would like a diagnosis based on his blood sugar and blood pressure data from the past year."

[1246] 4. Patient Empowerment App

[1247] Users (patients) use a dedicated app to input and manage their daily health data (e.g., weight, blood pressure, exercise records). The server periodically updates the input data and reflects it in the patient's profile. The generative AI model analyzes the latest input data and generates preventive measures and a health management plan. Users (patients) receive the health management plan through the app and carry out daily health management according to that plan. Furthermore, users (patients) can send consultations and questions to healthcare providers through the app, and the server notifies the healthcare provider of the contents.

[1248] In this way, the present invention enables efficient information sharing between patients and healthcare providers, improving the quality of medical care. Furthermore, by utilizing AI, diagnostic accuracy can be improved, enabling patients to manage their own health on a daily basis.

[1249] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1646] (Application example 2)

[1647] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1648] With conventional systems, it was difficult to grasp the emotional state of patients and customers in real time in medical and customer service settings, making it difficult to respond appropriately and quickly. This made it difficult to provide services that met individual needs, and improving customer satisfaction was an issue.

[1649] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a means for a user to create an account and upload medical information and health history, a means for a healthcare provider to securely access and confirm patient information in advance, a means for the user and healthcare provider to share medical data online, a means for capturing a customer's facial expression using smart glasses and analyzing their emotions, and a means for storing the analyzed customer's emotional data in a database and making service suggestions. This makes it possible to grasp the customer's emotional state in real time and suggest appropriate services based on that.

[1650] A "user account" is individual identification information assigned to each user who uses the system.

[1651] "Medical information" is health-related data collected by healthcare providers, such as patient consultations and medical records.

[1652] "Health history" refers to records relating to an individual's health, including the patient's past medical examination results, medical history, and treatment history.

[1653] "Healthcare providers" are professionals who provide health care services, such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.

[1654] "Online" medical data sharing refers to the ability to view and update patient information in real time via the Internet.

[1655] "Smart glasses" are eyeglass-type wearable devices worn by users that have camera and display functions.

[1656] "Customer's facial expression" is information that indicates the emotional state through changes in facial expression.

[1657] "Emotion analysis" is the process of identifying individual emotional states from facial expressions and vocal acoustic patterns using image processing techniques and machine learning.

[1658] A "database" is a system for storing and managing data in digital form, and is a means for quickly retrieving data when needed.

[1659] A "service proposal" is a specific proposal to provide appropriate products or services based on the customer's needs and emotional state.

[1660] "Real-time" refers to instant data transmission and processing without delay, meaning that current information is reflected and processed immediately.

[1661] "Artificial intelligence (AI)" is a technology that enables computer systems to mimic human intelligence and learn, reason, perceive, and make decisions.

[1662] The present invention provides a system that efficiently shares medical information between healthcare providers and patients, recognizes patients' emotional states, and further improves the medical process. It also integrates emotion recognition and service suggestion functions using smart glasses to improve customer service in brick-and-mortar stores.

[1663] 1. Overview of the entire system

[1664] The system includes the following main measures:

[1665] A means for users to create accounts and upload medical information and health history

[1666] A means for healthcare providers to securely access and proactively review patient information

[1667] A means for users and healthcare providers to share medical data online

[1668] A method to capture customer facial expressions and analyze their emotions using smart glasses

[1669] A means of storing analyzed customer emotion data in a database and making service suggestions

[1670] 2. Hardware and Software Used

[1671] The system uses the following hardware and software:

[1672] Hardware:

[1673] Smart glasses (e.g. Google Glass)

[1674] Camera (built into smart glasses)

[1675] Server (operating database and AI model)

[1676] Devices (used by healthcare providers and store employees)

[1677] software:

[1678] OpenCV (camera operation and image processing)

[1679] Keras (emotion recognition model)

[1680] TensorFlow (deep learning such as sentiment analysis)

[1681] SQLite (database management)

[1682] 3. Data processing and calculation procedures

[1683] The server acquires facial expression data captured by the smart glasses and performs emotion analysis using natural language processing and image processing technologies. This involves camera operation and image processing using OpenCV, and deep learning models using Keras and TensorFlow. The analysis results are stored in an SQLite database, and service proposals for the customer are generated at specific times and displayed on the smart glasses display.

[1684] 4. Specific Examples

[1685] For example, while a customer is browsing products in a physical store, a salesperson wearing smart glasses can capture the customer's face and analyze their emotions in real time. If the customer is smiling, the system will display a notification on the salesperson's smart glasses saying, "Please suggest a new promotion." On the other hand, if the customer is sad, the system will suggest, "Provide special service." This entire process is appropriately carried out by the analysis of an AI model.

[1686] 5. Example prompts to be input to the generative AI model

[1687] "Develop an application that uses smart glasses to assist in customer service in brick-and-mortar stores. This application will provide optimal service to customers by capturing customer facial expressions in real time and analyzing their emotional state. Specifically, the application will take a photo of the customer's face with a camera, analyze the results with an emotion recognition model, and store the results in an SQLite database. Based on the analysis results, the application will suggest appropriate services to staff."

[1688] This system is expected to improve customer service in brick-and-mortar stores, and also to streamline medical procedures and empower patients in medical settings.

[1689] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1690] Step 1:

[1691] The server creates user accounts and uploads medical information and health history. Users access the system, create an account, enter their name, email address, and password, and receive a confirmation email to activate their account. They then upload past medical examination information and medical history data to the system. The server encrypts and stores the uploaded data, allowing secure access to healthcare providers.

[1692] Step 2:

[1693] The device inputs patient data in real time during medical examinations and sends it to a server. Healthcare providers use a dedicated app to input patient medical data (e.g., blood pressure, electrocardiogram results, findings, etc.) in real time. The input data is immediately sent to the server, which stores the data in a database and updates it promptly.

[1694] Step 3:

[1695] The server analyzes the collected data using artificial intelligence (AI) and generates a diagnostic suggestion. The server inputs the collected past and current medical data into the AI ​​system, which then analyzes the data. The AI ​​generates a diagnostic suggestion based on the latest medical guidelines and provides the results to healthcare providers.

[1696] Step 4:

[1697] The device captures the customer's facial expression through the smart glasses and sends the data to the server.The smart glasses' camera captures the customer's face and sends it to the server as image data.

[1698] Step 5:

[1699] The server analyzes the image data and determines the customer's emotional state. The received image data is preprocessed using OpenCV and analyzed using an emotion recognition model using Keras and TensorFlow. The emotional state (e.g., happy, sad, surprised, etc.) is determined.

[1700] Step 6:

[1701] The server saves the analysis results in a database and generates appropriate service proposals. The analyzed emotion data is stored in an SQLite database and appropriate service proposals are generated based on the customer's state. For example, if the customer is determined to be happy, a proposal such as "Propose a new promotion" is generated, and if the customer is determined to be sad, a proposal such as "Provide a special service" is generated.

[1702] Step 7:

[1703] The device notifies the smart glasses of the proposed service, which then displays the notification of the proposed service sent from the server, allowing store employees to provide the service to the customer at the appropriate time.

[1704] Through the above steps, the present invention realizes a system that improves medical and brick-and-mortar store services.

[1705] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[1706] 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.

[2209] (Application example 2)

[2210] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[2211] With conventional systems, it was difficult to grasp the emotional state of patients and customers in real time in medical and customer service settings, making it difficult to respond appropriately and quickly. This made it difficult to provide services that met individual needs, and improving customer satisfaction was an issue.

[2212] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a means for a user to create an account and upload medical information and health history, a means for a healthcare provider to securely access and confirm patient information in advance, a means for the user and healthcare provider to share medical data online, a means for capturing a customer's facial expression using smart glasses and analyzing their emotions, and a means for storing the analyzed customer's emotional data in a database and making service suggestions. This makes it possible to grasp the customer's emotional state in real time and suggest appropriate services based on that.

[2213] A "user account" is individual identification information assigned to each user who uses the system.

[2214] "Medical information" is health-related data collected by healthcare providers, such as patient consultations and medical records.

[2215] "Health history" refers to records relating to an individual's health, including the patient's past medical examination results, medical history, and treatment history.

[2216] "Healthcare providers" are professionals who provide health care services, such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.

[2217] "Online" medical data sharing refers to the ability to view and update patient information in real time via the Internet.

[2218] "Smart glasses" are eyeglass-type wearable devices worn by users that have camera and display functions.

[2219] "Customer's facial expression" is information that indicates the emotional state through changes in facial expression.

[2220] "Emotion analysis" is the process of identifying individual emotional states from facial expressions and vocal acoustic patterns using image processing techniques and machine learning.

[2221] A "database" is a system for storing and managing data in digital form, and is a means for quickly retrieving data when needed.

[2222] A "service proposal" is a specific proposal to provide appropriate products or services based on the customer's needs and emotional state.

[2223] "Real-time" refers to instant data transmission and processing without delay, meaning that current information is reflected and processed immediately.

[2224] "Artificial intelligence (AI)" is a technology that enables computer systems to mimic human intelligence and learn, reason, perceive, and make decisions.

[2225] The present invention provides a system that efficiently shares medical information between healthcare providers and patients, recognizes patients' emotional states, and further improves the medical process. It also integrates emotion recognition and service suggestion functions using smart glasses to improve customer service in brick-and-mortar stores.

[2226] 1. Overview of the entire system

[2227] The system includes the following main measures:

[2228] A means for users to create accounts and upload medical information and health history

[2229] A means for healthcare providers to securely access and proactively review patient information

[2230] A means for users and healthcare providers to share medical data online

[2231] A method to capture customer facial expressions and analyze their emotions using smart glasses

[2232] A means of storing analyzed customer emotion data in a database and making service suggestions

[2233] 2. Hardware and Software Used

[2234] The system uses the following hardware and software:

[2235] Hardware:

[2236] Smart glasses (e.g. Google Glass)

[2237] Camera (built into smart glasses)

[2238] Server (operating database and AI model)

[2239] Devices (used by healthcare providers and store employees)

[2240] software:

[2241] OpenCV (camera operation and image processing)

[2242] Keras (emotion recognition model)

[2243] TensorFlow (deep learning such as sentiment analysis)

[2244] SQLite (database management)

[2245] 3. Data processing and calculation procedures

[2246] The server acquires facial expression data captured by the smart glasses and performs emotion analysis using natural language processing and image processing technologies. This involves camera operation and image processing using OpenCV, and deep learning models using Keras and TensorFlow. The analysis results are stored in an SQLite database, and service proposals for the customer are generated at specific times and displayed on the smart glasses display.

[2247] 4. Specific Examples

[2248] For example, while a customer is browsing products in a physical store, a salesperson wearing smart glasses can capture the customer's face and analyze their emotions in real time. If the customer is smiling, the system will display a notification on the salesperson's smart glasses saying, "Please suggest a new promotion." On the other hand, if the customer is sad, the system will suggest, "Provide special service." This entire process is appropriately carried out by the analysis of an AI model.

[2249] 5. Example prompts to be input to the generative AI model

[2250] "Develop an application that uses smart glasses to assist in customer service in brick-and-mortar stores. This application will provide optimal service to customers by capturing customer facial expressions in real time and analyzing their emotional state. Specifically, the application will take a photo of the customer's face with a camera, analyze the results with an emotion recognition model, and store the results in an SQLite database. Based on the analysis results, the application will suggest appropriate services to staff."

[2251] This system is expected to improve customer service in brick-and-mortar stores, and also to streamline medical procedures and empower patients in medical settings.

[2252] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[2253] Step 1:

[2254] The server creates user accounts and uploads medical information and health history. Users access the system, create an account, enter their name, email address, and password, and receive a confirmation email to activate their account. They then upload past medical examination information and medical history data to the system. The server encrypts and stores the uploaded data, allowing secure access to healthcare providers.

[2255] Step 2:

[2256] The device inputs patient data in real time during medical examinations and sends it to a server. Healthcare providers use a dedicated app to input patient medical data (e.g., blood pressure, electrocardiogram results, findings, etc.) in real time. The input data is immediately sent to the server, which stores the data in a database and updates it promptly.

[2257] Step 3:

[2258] The server analyzes the collected data using artificial intelligence (AI) and generates a diagnostic suggestion. The server inputs the collected past and current medical data into the AI ​​system, which then analyzes the data. The AI ​​generates a diagnostic suggestion based on the latest medical guidelines and provides the results to healthcare providers.

[2259] Step 4:

[2260] The device captures the customer's facial expression through the smart glasses and sends the data to the server.The smart glasses' camera captures the customer's face and sends it to the server as image data.

[2261] Step 5:

[2262] The server analyzes the image data and determines the customer's emotional state. The received image data is preprocessed using OpenCV and analyzed using an emotion recognition model using Keras and TensorFlow. The emotional state (e.g., happy, sad, surprised, etc.) is determined.

[2263] Step 6:

[2264] The server saves the analysis results in a database and generates appropriate service proposals. The analyzed emotion data is stored in an SQLite database and appropriate service proposals are generated based on the customer's state. For example, if the customer is determined to be happy, a proposal such as "Propose a new promotion" is generated, and if the customer is determined to be sad, a proposal such as "Provide a special service" is generated.

[2265] Step 7:

[2266] The device notifies the smart glasses of the proposed service, which then displays the notification of the proposed service sent from the server, allowing store employees to provide the service to the customer at the appropriate time.

[2267] Through the above steps, the present invention realizes a system that improves medical and brick-and-mortar store services.

[2268] 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.

[2269] 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.

[2270] 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.

[2271] 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.

[2272] 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.

[2273] 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.

[2274] 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).

[2275] 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 moto...
