[0041] The private life enrichment support system of the present invention is a system that supports users in spending quality private time even in the midst of a busy lifestyle. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[0042] System Configuration

[0043] This system consists of two main components: a user device and a server. The user device can be a smartphone, tablet, or PC and acts as the interface with the user. The server is the central computer system that analyzes data, generates schedules, and manages reservations.

[0044] Main features

[0045] 1. Data Collection:

[0046] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. This involves obtaining schedule information from calendar applications, extracting keywords of interest from web browser browsing history, and analyzing the user's communication content from email and chat apps to extract interests and schedules.

[0047] 2. Profile Update:

[0048] The server receives the data sent from the user's device and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences, preparing to propose a personalized schedule.

[0049] 3. Schedule generation:

[0050] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule suggestions based on the updated user profile. Specifically, it plans trips and event options taking into account past behavioral patterns, current trends, and seasonal factors. The generated schedule suggestions are adjusted to match the user's hobbies and tendencies.

[0051] 4. Schedule Notification and Confirmation:

[0052] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks and approves the proposed schedule.

[0053] 5. Making a reservation:

[0054] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, including reserving accommodations and purchasing event tickets. If the reservation is successful, the server notifies the user's device of the reservation information.

[0055] 6. Notifications and Reminders:

[0056] The user device will notify the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and will also notify the user as a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[0057] 7. Automatic Cancellation:

[0058] Information is sent from the user's terminal to the server, and reservations that the user has not confirmed by the deadline are automatically canceled, preventing unnecessary reservation fees from being incurred.

[0059] Specific examples

[0060] For example, suppose a user is interested in "hot spring trips." The user's device retrieves the information "No plans for next weekend" from the calendar and detects keywords such as "hot springs" and "trips" from the search history of the web browser.

[0061] Based on this information, the server updates the user's profile to indicate that "the user is interested in hot spring trips" and proposes a "hot spring trip schedule for the following weekend." The user's device notifies the user of this proposed schedule, and when the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server, and the hot spring inn reservation is automatically made. The user is then notified of the confirmed reservation details and schedule. When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user is sent a reminder, and if they do not confirm within the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation.

[0062] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to efficiently enjoy optimal private time without having to go through complicated procedures themselves.

[0063] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0064] Step 1:

[0065] The user terminal acquires calendar information, which includes an operation of accessing a calendar application and collecting information on appointments and free time entered by the user.

[0066] Step 2:

[0067] The user terminal acquires the browsing history of the web browser, which includes an operation of analyzing the search history for specific keywords (e.g., hot springs, travel).

[0068] Step 3:

[0069] The user terminal acquires email and chat data, which includes analyzing the contents of received emails and chat messages and extracting schedules and interests.

[0070] Step 4:

[0071] The user device consolidates all collected data into a single data set and sends it to the server, including calendar information, browsing history, email content, and chat messages.

[0072] Step 5:

[0073] The server receives data sent from the user's device, and collects information that reveals the user's behavioral patterns and preferences.

[0074] Step 6:

[0075] The server analyzes the received data and updates the user profile by using machine learning algorithms to learn the user's interests and tendencies and reflect the results in the profile.

[0076] Step 7:

[0077] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals for each user based on the updated user profile, including planning that takes into account past behavioral patterns, current trends, and seasonal factors.

[0078] Step 8:

[0079] The server transmits the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal, allowing the user to check the proposed schedule proposal.

[0080] Step 9:

[0081] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[0082] Step 10:

[0083] When the user approves the proposed schedule, the information is sent from the user's device to the server, which triggers the server to start the next processing step.

[0084] Step 11:

[0085] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing tickets to an event.

[0086] Step 12:

[0087] If the reservation is successful, the server sends the details to the user's terminal, allowing the user to check the reservation details.

[0088] Step 13:

[0089] The user terminal notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user is informed that the schedule has been confirmed and the specific reservation contents.

[0090] Step 14:

[0091] When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user terminal will send a reminder to the user, urging the user to confirm or cancel the reservation within the deadline.

[0092] Step 15:

[0093] If the user does not confirm or take any action after the cancellation deadline has passed, that information is sent from the user terminal to the server.

[0094] Step 16:

[0095] The server automatically cancels the reservation. The user's terminal is notified that the cancellation has been completed, and the user is also notified of the cancellation.

[0096] Through these steps, the system of the present invention allows users to enjoy quality private time while saving time and effort.

[0097] Example 1

[0098] 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."

[0099] Today's busy lifestyles make it difficult and cumbersome for users to plan and book activities that allow them to spend quality time. Manual scheduling and booking procedures, in particular, are extremely time-consuming and laborious, placing a significant burden on users. Furthermore, while it is necessary to accurately understand users' past behavioral patterns and current interests in order to propose plans that match their interests and preferences, there is currently a lack of effective methods for achieving this.

[0100] 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.

[0101] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting schedule management information, web history, email, and communication application data from the user terminal, means for transmitting the collected data to the server and updating the user profile, means for the server to automatically generate an optimal personalized schedule proposal based on the user profile, means for transmitting the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal and requesting the user's confirmation and approval, means for automatically executing the reservation over the network based on the user's approval, means for notifying the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and means for sending a reminder to the user when the cancellation deadline is approaching and automatically canceling the reservation as necessary. This allows users to efficiently enjoy high-quality private time without going through complicated procedures.

[0102] "User terminal" means an electronic device used by a user, including a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer.

[0103] "Date management information" refers to schedule and appointment information stored in a user's calendar or schedule management application.

[0104] "Web history" refers to the record of websites and search queries a user has visited through their internet browser.

[0105] "Email" refers to the content of communication messages sent or received by a User through the Email Service, as well as their metadata.

[0106] "Communications application" refers to a software application that enables text chat, voice, or video calls between users, including, for example, messaging apps and social networking apps.

[0107] "Server" refers to the central computer system that analyzes data, updates profiles, generates schedules and manages reservations.

[0108] "User Profile" refers to a database entry created based on a user's behavioral patterns and preferences.

[0109] "Personalized schedule suggestions" refers to private activity plans suggested based on the user's hobbies, interests, and past behavioral data.

[0110] "Network" refers to a communications infrastructure that allows computers and other devices to share information.

[0111] A "reminder" is a notification or alert that prompts the user to take a specific action.

[0112] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes user data and makes predictions and suggestions.

[0113] The system of this invention is a support system for efficiently enriching users' private time. Its specific configuration consists of two main components: a user terminal and a server. The user terminal is a smartphone, tablet, or PC, and functions as an interface with the user. The server is a central computer system that performs data analysis, profile updates, schedule generation, and reservation management.

[0114] Data collection implementation:

[0115] The user's device collects the user's schedule information, web history, email, and communication application data. Specifically, for example, it retrieves calendar information using the Google Calendar API, analyzes search history using a Chrome extension, and also analyzes the Gmail IMAP API and message content from communication applications.

[0116] Profile update implementation:

[0117] The server receives data in JSON format sent from the user device via the HTTPS protocol, then analyzes the data using Python's Pandas library and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences.

[0118] Schedule generation embodiment:

[0119] The server automatically generates optimal personalized schedule suggestions using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) based on the updated user profile. The AI ​​creates suggestions by inputting a prompt sentence into the generative AI model: "Please suggest plans for next weekend. My recent browser history includes 'hot springs' and 'travel.'"

[0120] Schedule notification and confirmation implementation:

[0121] The server sends the generated schedule proposal in JSON format to the user's device, which then notifies the user via mobile push notification or in-app notification and displays an "Approve" button on the app's UI, allowing the user to review and approve the schedule proposal.

[0122] Reservation form:

[0123] When the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server. The server then calls the API of the travel site or facility reservation system to make the reservation for the specified dates. If the reservation is successful, the information is sent back to the user's device in JSON format.

[0124] Notification and reminder implementation examples:

[0125] The user's device will notify them of the confirmed schedule and reservation details via push notification, and will also use the timer function in the calendar app to send reminders when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[0126] Implementation of automatic cancellation:

[0127] The server checks the cancellation deadline, and if the user does not confirm by the deadline, it calls the reservation system's API to automatically process the cancellation.

[0128] This system allows users to easily find the best plan based on their interests and schedule, eliminating complicated procedures and allowing them to enjoy relaxing private time efficiently.

[0129] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0203] The server will automatically cancel any reservations that the user does not confirm in time.

[0204] Specific operation: Checks the cancellation deadline, and if the deadline has passed, calls the reservation system's API to process the cancellation.

[0205] Input: Cancellation deadline information.

[0206] Output: Reservation cancellation notice.

[0207] Unnecessary reservations are automatically cancelled to prevent unnecessary costs.

[0208] (Application example 1)

[0209] 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."

[0210] For users who lead busy lifestyles, it is difficult to secure quality private time. Furthermore, meal preparation also requires time, making overall time management extremely cumbersome. The objective of this invention is to provide a system that allows users to efficiently manage their schedules and receive meal suggestions and offers tailored to their lifestyles.

[0211] 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.

[0212] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting calendar information, browsing history, email and chat data from the user terminal, means for sending the collected data to the server and updating the user profile, means for the server to automatically generate an optimal private schedule proposal based on the user profile, means for sending the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal and requesting the user's confirmation and approval, means for automatically making a reservation over the Internet based on the user's approval, means for notifying the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, means for sending a reminder to the user when the cancellation deadline is approaching and automatically canceling the reservation as necessary, and means for suggesting optimal food delivery based on the user's dietary preferences and schedule and automatically ordering. This allows users to spend quality private time without the hassle of time management and meals.

[0213] "User terminal" means a device that acts as an interface with a user and collects calendar information, browsing history, email and chat data.

[0214] "Calendar information" refers to schedule information including details of the user's plans and events.

[0215] "Browsing history" refers to the history of web pages a user has accessed on the Internet.

[0216] "Email" means an electronic message sent or received over the Internet.

[0218] A "server" is a central computer system that analyzes data, generates schedules, and manages reservations.

[0219] "User profile" means profile information that reflects a user's behavioral patterns and preferences, generated based on collected data.

[0220] "Private schedule proposals" are automatically generated schedule suggestions tailored to the user's lifestyle.

[0221] The "Internet" is an international network system that connects networks around the world and enables the exchange of information.

[0222] "Reservation" means reserving a specific date, time, location, service, etc. in advance.

[0223] A "reminder" is a notification sent to the user to inform them of important events or deadlines.

[0224] "Food delivery" refers to a service that allows users to have meals delivered to a specific location and time.

[0225] The present invention is a system for supporting users in enriching their meals and private time, and is implemented using a user terminal and a server. A detailed description of the system is provided below.

[0226] Main functions and configuration

[0227] User Device

[0228] User devices can be smartphones, tablets or PCs. They act as an interface between the user and the system and collect data such as:

[0229] Calendar Information

[0230] Browsing history

[0231] Email

[0232] Chat Data

[0233] This collected data is sent to a server, where a personalized profile is created based on the user's real-time information.

[0234] server

[0235] The server plays a key role in analyzing data, updating user profiles, and automatically generating private schedule suggestions and food delivery suggestions. Specifically, it performs the following tasks:

[0236] 1. Data analysis and profile update: Analyze user behavior patterns based on the received data and update the profile.

[0237] 2. Schedule Generation: Generates an optimal private schedule based on the updated profile, taking into account past behavioral patterns, current trends, and seasonal factors.

[0238] 3. Food delivery suggestions: Taking into account the user's food preferences and schedule, we suggest the most suitable food delivery options.

[0239] Detailed processing

[0240] Data collection and profile updates

[0241] Data collected from the user's device is sent to a server, which uses it to update the user profile, for example by retrieving the user's schedule from their smartphone's calendar information and emails, or analyzing their food preferences from their browser history.

[0242] Schedule Generation and Notification

[0243] The server generates a private schedule proposal based on the updated profile, which is then sent to the user's device, where the user can review and approve the proposal, allowing the user to plan quality private time.

[0244] Food delivery suggestions and auto-ordering

[0245] Once the user approves the proposed schedule, the server generates food delivery suggestions. It suggests meals that match the user's preferences and automatically places the order once the user confirms. For example, if the user has free time in their schedule, it will suggest meals they might like based on their past history and notify their smartphone of the suggestions.

[0246] Example

[0247] For example, if a user with free weekend plans has recently frequently searched for "pasta dishes," the system will detect this and generate a schedule suggesting a pasta set for lunch next Saturday. If the user approves this suggestion, food delivery will be automatically ordered at the specified time.

[0248] Example prompts for generative AI models

[0249] "Generate the following food delivery suggestions. The user's preferences are sushi and soup, and data collection indicates that there is availability for lunch today. Please provide the best suggestions."

[0250] In this way, the server automatically optimizes the user's private time and meals, allowing them to live a more efficient and fulfilling life.

[0251] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0252] Step 1:

[0253] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Specifically, it obtains the user's schedule from the smartphone's calendar app and extracts information about visited websites from the internet browser history. It also collects related data from email and chat applications. The input is various data stored on the user's device, and the output is a data package sent to the server.

[0254] Step 2:

[0255] The server receives and analyzes data sent from the user's device. The received data includes the user's calendar information, browsing history, email content, and chat content. The server uses this data to update the user profile. For example, it can analyze the user's interests from search history over a certain period of time and reflect this in the profile. The input is a set of data sent from the user's device, and the output is an updated user profile.

[0256] Step 3:

[0257] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals based on the updated user profile. Schedule proposals are created taking into account past behavioral patterns and preferences, current trends, seasonal factors, and more. A generative AI model is then used to predict future behavioral patterns from past data. The input is the latest user profile, and the output is the generated private schedule proposal.

[0258] Step 4:

[0259] The server sends the generated private schedule proposal to the user's terminal. The user's terminal notifies the user of the received schedule proposal and asks for confirmation and approval of the contents. The input is the schedule proposal sent from the server, and the output is the notification to the user's terminal.

[0260] Step 5:

[0261] The user checks and approves the proposed schedule on the terminal. When the user presses the approval button, the confirmation information is sent to the server. The input is the user's confirmation operation, and the output is the approval information.

[0262] Step 6:

[0263] The server automatically executes reservations over the Internet based on the user's approval. For example, it orders food delivery based on available times. This process uses the APIs of reservation systems and delivery services. The input is the user's approval information, and the output is the processed reservation information.

[0264] Step 7:

[0265] The server notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user terminal receives this information and notifies the user. The input is the confirmed schedule and reservation information, and the output is the notification to the user.

[0266] Step 8:

[0267] The server sends a reminder to the user when the cancellation deadline is approaching. If the user does not confirm by the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation. This process involves another confirmation process with the user interface. The input is information about the cancellation deadline, and the output is the reminder notification and cancellation process.

[0268] These steps will enable efficient schedule management and meal suggestions and offerings that fit the user's lifestyle.

[0269] 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.

[0270] The private life enrichment support system of the present invention is a system that supports users in spending quality private time even in the midst of a busy lifestyle. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[0271] System Configuration

[0272] This system consists of three main components: a user device, a server, and an emotion engine. The user device is a smartphone, tablet, or PC, and functions as the interface with the user. The server is a central computer system that analyzes data, generates schedules, and manages reservations. The emotion engine recognizes and analyzes user emotions and reflects the results throughout the system.

[0273] Main features

[0274] 1. Data Collection:

[0275] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Schedule information is obtained from the calendar application, and keywords of interest are extracted from the web browser's browsing history. The user's communication content from email and chat applications is also analyzed to extract information about their interests and schedules.

[0276] 2. Profile Update:

[0277] The server receives data sent from the user's device and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences. It also reflects emotional information received from the emotion engine.

[0278] 3. Emotion recognition:

[0279] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions through voice, text, facial recognition, etc. The analyzed emotion information is sent to the server and added to the user profile.

[0280] 4. Schedule generation:

[0281] The server automatically generates a private schedule that is optimal for the user based on the updated user profile. This also takes into account emotional information, providing a schedule that corresponds to the user's emotional state, for example by suggesting relaxation activities if the user is feeling stressed.

[0282] 5. Schedule Notification and Confirmation:

[0283] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[0284] 6. Making a reservation:

[0285] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing event tickets. If the reservation is successful, the reservation information is sent to the user's device.

[0286] 7. Notifications and Reminders:

[0287] The user device will notify the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and will also notify the user as a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[0288] 8. Automatic Cancellation:

[0289] Information is sent from the user's terminal to the server, and reservations that the user did not confirm by the deadline are automatically canceled. The user is notified that the cancellation has been completed.

[0290] Specific examples

[0291] For example, suppose a user is interested in "hot spring trips." The user's device retrieves the information "No plans for next weekend" from the calendar and detects keywords such as "hot springs" and "trips" from the web browser search history. Meanwhile, the emotion engine analyzes emotions such as "tiredness" and "stress" from the user's recent chat history and voice input.

[0292] Based on this information, the server updates the user's profile to indicate that "the user is interested in hot spring trips and needs relaxation," and suggests a "hot spring trip schedule for next weekend." The user's device notifies the user of this proposed schedule, and when the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server, and the hot spring inn reservation is automatically made. The user is then notified of the confirmed reservation details and schedule. When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user is sent a reminder, and if they do not confirm within the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation.

[0293] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to efficiently enjoy their optimal private time without having to go through complicated procedures. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide a more personalized experience according to the user's emotional state.

[0294] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0295] Step 1:

[0296] The user terminal acquires calendar information, which includes an operation of accessing a calendar application and collecting information on appointments and free time entered by the user.

[0297] Step 2:

[0298] The user terminal acquires the browsing history of the web browser, which includes an operation of analyzing the search history for specific keywords (e.g., hot springs, travel).

[0299] Step 3:

[0300] The user terminal acquires email and chat data, which includes analyzing the contents of received emails and chat messages and extracting schedules and interests.

[0301] Step 4:

[0302] The emotion engine analyzes user emotions based on user voice, text, and facial recognition data, including using emotion analysis algorithms to identify a user's emotional state (e.g., joy, stress, fatigue).

[0303] Step 5:

[0304] The user device integrates all the data collected and analyzed in steps 1 to 4 into a single dataset and sends it to the server. This dataset includes calendar information, browsing history, email content, chat messages, and emotional information.

[0305] Step 6:

[0306] The server receives data sent from the user's device, and collects information that reveals the user's behavioral patterns, preferences, and emotional state.

[0307] Step 7:

[0308] The server analyzes the received data and updates the user profile. Specifically, it uses machine learning and sentiment analysis algorithms to learn the user's interests, tendencies, and emotional state, and updates the profile accordingly.

[0309] Step 8:

[0310] The server automatically generates a private schedule that is optimal for the user based on the updated user profile. This also takes into account emotional information, providing a schedule that corresponds to the user's emotional state, for example by suggesting relaxation activities if the user is feeling stressed.

[0311] Step 9:

[0312] The server transmits the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal, allowing the user to check the proposed schedule proposal.

[0313] Step 10:

[0314] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[0315] Step 11:

[0316] When the user approves the proposed schedule, the information is sent from the user's device to the server, which triggers the server to start the next processing step.

[0317] Step 12:

[0318] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing tickets to an event.

[0319] Step 13:

[0320] If the reservation is successful, the server sends the details to the user's terminal, allowing the user to check the reservation details.

[0321] Step 14:

[0322] The user terminal notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user is informed that the schedule has been confirmed and the specific reservation contents.

[0323] Step 15:

[0324] When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user terminal will send a reminder to the user, urging the user to confirm or cancel the reservation within the deadline.

[0325] Step 16:

[0326] If the user does not confirm or take any action after the cancellation deadline has passed, that information is sent from the user terminal to the server.

[0327] Step 17:

[0328] The server automatically cancels the reservation. The user's terminal is notified that the cancellation has been completed, and the user is also notified of the cancellation.

[0329] Through these steps, the system of the present invention allows users to enjoy quality private time while saving time. By combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide a more personalized experience according to the user's emotional state.

[0438] The server is a central computer system that analyzes data sent from user devices and updates user profiles. Based on the user profile, it automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals. Furthermore, it automatically executes reservations over the Internet based on the user's approval and notifies the user device of the confirmed schedule and reservation details.

[0439] 3. Emotion Engine:

[0440] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions through voice, text, and facial recognition, and sends the emotional information to a server. The emotional information is added to the user profile and is used to create personalized schedules and product recommendations.

[0441] 4. Real-time notification system:

[0442] When a user enters a physical store, the server sends real-time recommendation and discount information to the user's device, allowing the user to receive the most suitable product information and special offers on the spot.

[0443] Hardware and software used

[0444] Hardware:

[0445] Camera (to capture the user's face and recognize emotions)

[0446] Smartphones and smart glasses (user interfaces)

[0447] software:

[0448] OpenCV (a library for face recognition and image processing)

[0449] Requests (a library for communicating with the server)

[0450] Machine learning algorithms (user profile generation and automatic schedule generation)

[0451] Specific examples

[0452] For example, if a user has no plans for the next weekend, the user's device sends that information to the server. The emotion engine then analyzes the user's emotional information, such as their recent stress levels, and the server suggests a "hot spring trip." The user is notified of this suggestion, and when the user presses the "approval" button, the server automatically makes a reservation for the hot spring resort. If the reservation is successful, the information is sent to the user's device. Furthermore, when the user enters a shopping mall, discount information and recommended product information are displayed in real time on the user's device.

[0453] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0454] "Create a system that makes shopping suggestions based on emotion information to help users find the best private time for themselves despite their busy schedules. Recognize users' emotions and provide product suggestions and store information in real time based on that information."

[0455] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to spend quality private time while eliminating cumbersome procedures, and also realizes personalized product proposals that take emotional information into consideration and the provision of information in real time.

[0456] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0457] Step 1:

[0458] The user device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Specifically, data is obtained from the device's calendar application, browser history, email application, and chat application, and then preprocessed to extract a valid dataset and send it to the server. The input is the raw data from each application, and the output is the preprocessed data.

[0459] Step 2:

[0460] The server updates the user profile based on the received data. This profile includes the user's behavioral patterns, interests, schedule, etc., and updates each item in the profile using the data sent in the previous step. The input is the preprocessed data, and the output is the updated user profile.

[0461] Step 3:

[0462] The emotion engine analyzes emotional data such as the user's voice, text, and facial images. The emotion engine acquires voice and facial images from the user's device and uses an emotion recognition algorithm to determine the user's emotional state. The results are sent to the server. The input is voice data and facial images, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state.

[0463] Step 4:

[0464] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals based on the user profile and emotional data. Using a generative AI model, the server inputs the user profile and emotional information and proposes the optimal schedule for the user. The input is the updated user profile and emotional data, and the output is the generated schedule proposal.

[0465] Step 5:

[0466] The server sends the generated schedule proposal to the user's terminal and asks the user to confirm and approve it. Specifically, it displays a notification of the schedule proposal on the terminal, allowing the user to confirm it and send instructions for approval or modification. The input is the generated schedule proposal, and the output is the user's response.

[0467] Step 6:

[0468] Based on the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet. For example, it makes online reservations for accommodation or event tickets and sends the results to the user's device. The input is the schedule plan approved by the user, and the output is reservation confirmation information.

[0469] Step 7:

[0470] When a user enters a physical store, the server sends recommendation and discount information to the user's device in real time. Specifically, it uses the store's location information and in-store sensor information to detect that the user is inside the store and immediately notifies the user of relevant information. The input is the user's location information, and the output is real-time recommendation and discount information.

[0471] Step 8:

[0472] The server notifies the user's device of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and sends a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches. Furthermore, if the user does not respond by the deadline, the reservation is automatically canceled. The input is the confirmed schedule, reservation details, and the user's response, and the output is a reminder or cancellation confirmation.

[0489] The private life enrichment support system of the present invention is a system that supports users in spending quality private time even in the midst of a busy lifestyle. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[0490] System Configuration

[0491] This system consists of two main components: a user device and a server. The user device can be a smartphone, tablet, or PC and acts as the interface with the user. The server is the central computer system that analyzes data, generates schedules, and manages reservations.

[0492] Main features

[0493] 1. Data Collection:

[0494] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. This involves obtaining schedule information from calendar applications, extracting keywords of interest from web browser browsing history, and analyzing the user's communication content from email and chat apps to extract interests and schedules.

[0495] 2. Profile Update:

[0496] The server receives the data sent from the user's device and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences, preparing to propose a personalized schedule.

[0497] 3. Schedule generation:

[0498] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule suggestions based on the updated user profile. Specifically, it plans trips and event options taking into account past behavioral patterns, current trends, and seasonal factors. The generated schedule suggestions are adjusted to match the user's hobbies and tendencies.

[0499] 4. Schedule Notification and Confirmation:

[0500] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks and approves the proposed schedule.

[0501] 5. Making a reservation:

[0502] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, including reserving accommodations and purchasing event tickets. If the reservation is successful, the server notifies the user's device of the reservation information.

[0503] 6. Notifications and Reminders:

[0504] The user device will notify the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and will also notify the user as a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[0505] 7. Automatic Cancellation:

[0506] Information is sent from the user's terminal to the server, and reservations that the user has not confirmed by the deadline are automatically canceled, preventing unnecessary reservation fees from being incurred.

[0507] Specific examples

[0508] For example, suppose a user is interested in "hot spring trips." The user's device retrieves the information "No plans for next weekend" from the calendar and detects keywords such as "hot springs" and "trips" from the search history of the web browser.

[0509] Based on this information, the server updates the user's profile to indicate that "the user is interested in hot spring trips" and proposes a "hot spring trip schedule for the following weekend." The user's device notifies the user of this proposed schedule, and when the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server, and the hot spring inn reservation is automatically made. The user is then notified of the confirmed reservation details and schedule. When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user is sent a reminder, and if they do not confirm within the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation.

[0510] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to efficiently enjoy optimal private time without having to go through complicated procedures themselves.

[0511] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0512] Step 1:

[0513] The user terminal acquires calendar information, which includes an operation of accessing a calendar application and collecting information on appointments and free time entered by the user.

[0514] Step 2:

[0515] The user terminal acquires the browsing history of the web browser, which includes an operation of analyzing the search history for specific keywords (e.g., hot springs, travel).

[0516] Step 3:

[0517] The user terminal acquires email and chat data, which includes analyzing the contents of received emails and chat messages and extracting schedules and interests.

[0518] Step 4:

[0519] The user device consolidates all collected data into a single data set and sends it to the server, including calendar information, browsing history, email content, and chat messages.

[0520] Step 5:

[0521] The server receives data sent from the user's device, and collects information that reveals the user's behavioral patterns and preferences.

[0522] Step 6:

[0523] The server analyzes the received data and updates the user profile by using machine learning algorithms to learn the user's interests and tendencies and reflect the results in the profile.

[0524] Step 7:

[0525] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals for each user based on the updated user profile, including planning that takes into account past behavioral patterns, current trends, and seasonal factors.

[0526] Step 8:

[0527] The server transmits the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal, allowing the user to check the proposed schedule proposal.

[0528] Step 9:

[0529] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[0530] Step 10:

[0531] When the user approves the proposed schedule, the information is sent from the user's device to the server, which triggers the server to start the next processing step.

[0532] Step 11:

[0533] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing tickets to an event.

[0534] Step 12:

[0535] If the reservation is successful, the server sends the details to the user's terminal, allowing the user to check the reservation details.

[0536] Step 13:

[0537] The user terminal notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user is informed that the schedule has been confirmed and the specific reservation contents.

[0538] Step 14:

[0539] When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user terminal will send a reminder to the user, urging the user to confirm or cancel the reservation within the deadline.

[0540] Step 15:

[0541] If the user does not confirm or take any action after the cancellation deadline has passed, that information is sent from the user terminal to the server.

[0542] Step 16:

[0543] The server automatically cancels the reservation. The user's terminal is notified that the cancellation has been completed, and the user is also notified of the cancellation.

[0544] Through these steps, the system of the present invention allows users to enjoy quality private time while saving time and effort.

[0545] Example 1

[0546] 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."

[0547] Today's busy lifestyles make it difficult and cumbersome for users to plan and book activities that allow them to spend quality time. Manual scheduling and booking procedures, in particular, are extremely time-consuming and laborious, placing a significant burden on users. Furthermore, while it is necessary to accurately understand users' past behavioral patterns and current interests in order to propose plans that match their interests and preferences, there is currently a lack of effective methods for achieving this.

[0548] 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.

[0549] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting schedule management information, web history, email, and communication application data from the user terminal, means for transmitting the collected data to the server and updating the user profile, means for the server to automatically generate an optimal personalized schedule proposal based on the user profile, means for transmitting the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal and requesting the user's confirmation and approval, means for automatically executing the reservation over the network based on the user's approval, means for notifying the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and means for sending a reminder to the user when the cancellation deadline is approaching and automatically canceling the reservation as necessary. This allows users to efficiently enjoy high-quality private time without going through complicated procedures.

[0550] "User terminal" means an electronic device used by a user, including a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer.

[0551] "Date management information" refers to schedule and appointment information stored in a user's calendar or schedule management application.

[0564] Profile update implementation:

[0565] The server receives data in JSON format sent from the user device via the HTTPS protocol, then analyzes the data using Python's Pandas library and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences.

[0566] Schedule generation embodiment:

[0567] The server automatically generates optimal personalized schedule suggestions using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) based on the updated user profile. The AI ​​creates suggestions by inputting a prompt sentence into the generative AI model: "Please suggest plans for next weekend. My recent browser history includes 'hot springs' and 'travel.'"

[0568] Schedule notification and confirmation implementation:

[0569] The server sends the generated schedule proposal in JSON format to the user's device, which then notifies the user via mobile push notification or in-app notification and displays an "Approve" button on the app's UI, allowing the user to review and approve the schedule proposal.

[0570] Reservation form:

[0571] When the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server. The server then calls the API of the travel site or facility reservation system to make the reservation for the specified dates. If the reservation is successful, the information is sent back to the user's device in JSON format.

[0572] Notification and reminder implementation examples:

[0573] The user's device will notify them of the confirmed schedule and reservation details via push notification, and will also use the timer function in the calendar app to send reminders when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[0574] Implementation of automatic cancellation:

[0575] The server checks the cancellation deadline, and if the user does not confirm by the deadline, it calls the reservation system's API to automatically process the cancellation.

[0576] This system allows users to easily find the best plan based on their interests and schedule, eliminating complicated procedures and allowing them to enjoy relaxing private time efficiently.

[0674] Main functions and configuration

[0675] User Device

[0676] User devices can be smartphones, tablets or PCs. They act as an interface between the user and the system and collect data such as:

[0677] Calendar Information

[0678] Browsing history

[0679] Email

[0680] Chat Data

[0681] This collected data is sent to a server, where a personalized profile is created based on the user's real-time information.

[0682] server

[0683] The server plays a key role in analyzing data, updating user profiles, and automatically generating private schedule suggestions and food delivery suggestions. Specifically, it performs the following tasks:

[0684] 1. Data analysis and profile update: Analyze user behavior patterns based on the received data and update the profile.

[0685] 2. Schedule Generation: Generates an optimal private schedule based on the updated profile, taking into account past behavioral patterns, current trends, and seasonal factors.

[0686] 3. Food delivery suggestions: Taking into account the user's food preferences and schedule, we suggest the most suitable food delivery options.

[0687] Detailed processing

[0688] Data collection and profile updates

[0689] Data collected from the user's device is sent to a server, which uses it to update the user profile, for example by retrieving the user's schedule from their smartphone's calendar information and emails, or analyzing their food preferences from their browser history.

[0690] Schedule Generation and Notification

[0691] The server generates a private schedule proposal based on the updated profile, which is then sent to the user's device, where the user can review and approve the proposal, allowing the user to plan quality private time.

[0692] Food delivery suggestions and auto-ordering

[0693] Once the user approves the proposed schedule, the server generates food delivery suggestions. It suggests meals that match the user's preferences and automatically places the order once the user confirms. For example, if the user has free time in their schedule, it will suggest meals they might like based on their past history and notify their smartphone of the suggestions.

[0694] Example

[0695] For example, if a user with free weekend plans has recently frequently searched for "pasta dishes," the system will detect this and generate a schedule suggesting a pasta set for lunch next Saturday. If the user approves this suggestion, food delivery will be automatically ordered at the specified time.

[0696] Example prompts for generative AI models

[0697] "Generate the following food delivery suggestions. The user's preferences are sushi and soup, and data collection indicates that there is availability for lunch today. Please provide the best suggestions."

[0698] In this way, the server automatically optimizes the user's private time and meals, allowing them to live a more efficient and fulfilling life.

[0699] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0700] Step 1:

[0701] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Specifically, it obtains the user's schedule from the smartphone's calendar app and extracts information about visited websites from the internet browser history. It also collects related data from email and chat applications. The input is various data stored on the user's device, and the output is a data package sent to the server.

[0702] Step 2:

[0703] The server receives and analyzes data sent from the user's device. The received data includes the user's calendar information, browsing history, email content, and chat content. The server uses this data to update the user profile. For example, it can analyze the user's interests from search history over a certain period of time and reflect this in the profile. The input is a set of data sent from the user's device, and the output is an updated user profile.

[0704] Step 3:

[0705] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals based on the updated user profile. Schedule proposals are created taking into account past behavioral patterns and preferences, current trends, seasonal factors, and more. A generative AI model is then used to predict future behavioral patterns from past data. The input is the latest user profile, and the output is the generated private schedule proposal.

[0706] Step 4:

[0707] The server sends the generated private schedule proposal to the user's terminal. The user's terminal notifies the user of the received schedule proposal and asks for confirmation and approval of the contents. The input is the schedule proposal sent from the server, and the output is the notification to the user's terminal.

[0708] Step 5:

[0709] The user checks and approves the proposed schedule on the terminal. When the user presses the approval button, the confirmation information is sent to the server. The input is the user's confirmation operation, and the output is the approval information.

[0710] Step 6:

[0711] The server automatically executes reservations over the Internet based on the user's approval. For example, it orders food delivery based on available times. This process uses the APIs of reservation systems and delivery services. The input is the user's approval information, and the output is the processed reservation information.

[0712] Step 7:

[0713] The server notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user terminal receives this information and notifies the user. The input is the confirmed schedule and reservation information, and the output is the notification to the user.

[0714] Step 8:

[0715] The server sends a reminder to the user when the cancellation deadline is approaching. If the user does not confirm by the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation. This process involves another confirmation process with the user interface. The input is information about the cancellation deadline, and the output is the reminder notification and cancellation process.

[0716] These steps will enable efficient schedule management and meal suggestions and offerings that fit the user's lifestyle.

[0717] 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.

[0718] The private life enrichment support system of the present invention is a system that supports users in spending quality private time even in the midst of a busy lifestyle. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[0719] System Configuration

[0720] This system consists of three main components: a user device, a server, and an emotion engine. The user device is a smartphone, tablet, or PC, and functions as the interface with the user. The server is a central computer system that analyzes data, generates schedules, and manages reservations. The emotion engine recognizes and analyzes user emotions and reflects the results throughout the system.

[0721] Main features

[0722] 1. Data Collection:

[0723] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Schedule information is obtained from the calendar application, and keywords of interest are extracted from the web browser's browsing history. The user's communication content from email and chat applications is also analyzed to extract information about their interests and schedules.

[0724] 2. Profile Update:

[0725] The server receives data sent from the user's device and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences. It also reflects emotional information received from the emotion engine.

[0726] 3. Emotion recognition:

[0727] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions through voice, text, facial recognition, etc. The analyzed emotion information is sent to the server and added to the user profile.

[0728] 4. Schedule generation:

[0729] The server automatically generates a private schedule that is optimal for the user based on the updated user profile. This also takes into account emotional information, providing a schedule that corresponds to the user's emotional state, for example by suggesting relaxation activities if the user is feeling stressed.

[0730] 5. Schedule Notification and Confirmation:

[0731] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[0732] 6. Making a reservation:

[0733] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing event tickets. If the reservation is successful, the reservation information is sent to the user's device.

[0734] 7. Notifications and Reminders:

[0735] The user device will notify the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and will also notify the user as a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[0736] 8. Automatic Cancellation:

[0737] Information is sent from the user's terminal to the server, and reservations that the user did not confirm by the deadline are automatically canceled. The user is notified that the cancellation has been completed.

[0738] Specific examples

[0739] For example, suppose a user is interested in "hot spring trips." The user's device retrieves the information "No plans for next weekend" from the calendar and detects keywords such as "hot springs" and "trips" from the web browser search history. Meanwhile, the emotion engine analyzes emotions such as "tiredness" and "stress" from the user's recent chat history and voice input.

[0740] Based on this information, the server updates the user's profile to indicate that "the user is interested in hot spring trips and needs relaxation," and suggests a "hot spring trip schedule for next weekend." The user's device notifies the user of this proposed schedule, and when the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server, and the hot spring inn reservation is automatically made. The user is then notified of the confirmed reservation details and schedule. When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user is sent a reminder, and if they do not confirm within the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation.

[0741] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to efficiently enjoy their optimal private time without having to go through complicated procedures. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide a more personalized experience according to the user's emotional state.

[0742] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0743] Step 1:

[0744] The user terminal acquires calendar information, which includes an operation of accessing a calendar application and collecting information on appointments and free time entered by the user.

[0745] Step 2:

[0746] The user terminal acquires the browsing history of the web browser, which includes an operation of analyzing the search history for specific keywords (e.g., hot springs, travel).

[0747] Step 3:

[0748] The user terminal acquires email and chat data, which includes analyzing the contents of received emails and chat messages and extracting schedules and interests.

[0749] Step 4:

[0750] The emotion engine analyzes user emotions based on user voice, text, and facial recognition data, including using emotion analysis algorithms to identify a user's emotional state (e.g., joy, stress, fatigue).

[0751] Step 5:

[0752] The user device integrates all the data collected and analyzed in steps 1 to 4 into a single dataset and sends it to the server. This dataset includes calendar information, browsing history, email content, chat messages, and emotional information.

[0753] Step 6:

[0754] The server receives data sent from the user's device, and collects information that reveals the user's behavioral patterns, preferences, and emotional state.

[0755] Step 7:

[0756] The server analyzes the received data and updates the user profile. Specifically, it uses machine learning and sentiment analysis algorithms to learn the user's interests, tendencies, and emotional state, and updates the profile accordingly.

[0757] Step 8:

[0758] The server automatically generates a private schedule that is optimal for the user based on the updated user profile. This also takes into account emotional information, providing a schedule that corresponds to the user's emotional state, for example by suggesting relaxation activities if the user is feeling stressed.

[0759] Step 9:

[0760] The server transmits the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal, allowing the user to check the proposed schedule proposal.

[0761] Step 10:

[0762] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[0763] Step 11:

[0764] When the user approves the proposed schedule, the information is sent from the user's device to the server, which triggers the server to start the next processing step.

[0765] Step 12:

[0766] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing tickets to an event.

[0767] Step 13:

[0768] If the reservation is successful, the server sends the details to the user's terminal, allowing the user to check the reservation details.

[0769] Step 14:

[0770] The user terminal notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user is informed that the schedule has been confirmed and the specific reservation contents.

[0771] Step 15:

[0772] When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user terminal will send a reminder to the user, urging the user to confirm or cancel the reservation within the deadline.

[0773] Step 16:

[0774] If the user does not confirm or take any action after the cancellation deadline has passed, that information is sent from the user terminal to the server.

[0775] Step 17:

[0776] The server automatically cancels the reservation. The user's terminal is notified that the cancellation has been completed, and the user is also notified of the cancellation.

[0777] Through these steps, the system of the present invention allows users to enjoy quality private time while saving time. By combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide a more personalized experience according to the user's emotional state.

[0899] Specific examples

[0900] For example, if a user has no plans for the next weekend, the user's device sends that information to the server. The emotion engine then analyzes the user's emotional information, such as their recent stress levels, and the server suggests a "hot spring trip." The user is notified of this suggestion, and when the user presses the "approval" button, the server automatically makes a reservation for the hot spring resort. If the reservation is successful, the information is sent to the user's device. Furthermore, when the user enters a shopping mall, discount information and recommended product information are displayed in real time on the user's device.

[0901] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0902] "Create a system that makes shopping suggestions based on emotion information to help users find the best private time for themselves despite their busy schedules. Recognize users' emotions and provide product suggestions and store information in real time based on that information."

[0903] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to spend quality private time while eliminating cumbersome procedures, and also realizes personalized product proposals that take emotional information into consideration and the provision of information in real time.

[0904] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0905] Step 1:

[0906] The user device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Specifically, data is obtained from the device's calendar application, browser history, email application, and chat application, and then preprocessed to extract a valid dataset and send it to the server. The input is the raw data from each application, and the output is the preprocessed data.

[0907] Step 2:

[0908] The server updates the user profile based on the received data. This profile includes the user's behavioral patterns, interests, schedule, etc., and updates each item in the profile using the data sent in the previous step. The input is the preprocessed data, and the output is the updated user profile.

[0909] Step 3:

[0910] The emotion engine analyzes emotional data such as the user's voice, text, and facial images. The emotion engine acquires voice and facial images from the user's device and uses an emotion recognition algorithm to determine the user's emotional state. The results are sent to the server. The input is voice data and facial images, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state.

[0911] Step 4:

[0912] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals based on the user profile and emotional data. Using a generative AI model, the server inputs the user profile and emotional information and proposes the optimal schedule for the user. The input is the updated user profile and emotional data, and the output is the generated schedule proposal.

[0913] Step 5:

[0914] The server sends the generated schedule proposal to the user's terminal and asks the user to confirm and approve it. Specifically, it displays a notification of the schedule proposal on the terminal, allowing the user to confirm it and send instructions for approval or modification. The input is the generated schedule proposal, and the output is the user's response.

[0915] Step 6:

[0916] Based on the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet. For example, it makes online reservations for accommodation or event tickets and sends the results to the user's device. The input is the schedule plan approved by the user, and the output is reservation confirmation information.

[0917] Step 7:

[0918] When a user enters a physical store, the server sends recommendation and discount information to the user's device in real time. Specifically, it uses the store's location information and in-store sensor information to detect that the user is inside the store and immediately notifies the user of relevant information. The input is the user's location information, and the output is real-time recommendation and discount information.

[0919] Step 8:

[0920] The server notifies the user's device of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and sends a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches. Furthermore, if the user does not respond by the deadline, the reservation is automatically canceled. The input is the confirmed schedule, reservation details, and the user's response, and the output is a reminder or cancellation confirmation.

[0921] 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.

[0922] 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.

[0923] 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.

[0937] The private life enrichment support system of the present invention is a system that supports users in spending quality private time even in the midst of a busy lifestyle. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[0938] System Configuration

[0939] This system consists of two main components: a user device and a server. The user device can be a smartphone, tablet, or PC and acts as the interface with the user. The server is the central computer system that analyzes data, generates schedules, and manages reservations.

[0940] Main features

[0941] 1. Data Collection:

[0942] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. This involves obtaining schedule information from calendar applications, extracting keywords of interest from web browser browsing history, and analyzing the user's communication content from email and chat apps to extract interests and schedules.

[0943] 2. Profile Update:

[0944] The server receives the data sent from the user's device and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences, preparing to propose a personalized schedule.

[0945] 3. Schedule generation:

[0946] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule suggestions based on the updated user profile. Specifically, it plans trips and event options taking into account past behavioral patterns, current trends, and seasonal factors. The generated schedule suggestions are adjusted to match the user's hobbies and tendencies.

[0947] 4. Schedule Notification and Confirmation:

[0948] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks and approves the proposed schedule.

[0949] 5. Making a reservation:

[0950] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, including reserving accommodations and purchasing event tickets. If the reservation is successful, the server notifies the user's device of the reservation information.

[0951] 6. Notifications and Reminders:

[0952] The user device will notify the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and will also notify the user as a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[0953] 7. Automatic Cancellation:

[0954] Information is sent from the user's terminal to the server, and reservations that the user has not confirmed by the deadline are automatically canceled, preventing unnecessary reservation fees from being incurred.

[0955] Specific examples

[0956] For example, suppose a user is interested in "hot spring trips." The user's device retrieves the information "No plans for next weekend" from the calendar and detects keywords such as "hot springs" and "trips" from the search history of the web browser.

[0957] Based on this information, the server updates the user's profile to indicate that "the user is interested in hot spring trips" and proposes a "hot spring trip schedule for the following weekend." The user's device notifies the user of this proposed schedule, and when the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server, and the hot spring inn reservation is automatically made. The user is then notified of the confirmed reservation details and schedule. When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user is sent a reminder, and if they do not confirm within the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation.

[0958] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to efficiently enjoy optimal private time without having to go through complicated procedures themselves.

[0959] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0960] Step 1:

[0961] The user terminal acquires calendar information, which includes an operation of accessing a calendar application and collecting information on appointments and free time entered by the user.

[0962] Step 2:

[0963] The user terminal acquires the browsing history of the web browser, which includes an operation of analyzing the search history for specific keywords (e.g., hot springs, travel).

[0964] Step 3:

[0965] The user terminal acquires email and chat data, which includes analyzing the contents of received emails and chat messages and extracting schedules and interests.

[0966] Step 4:

[0967] The user device consolidates all collected data into a single data set and sends it to the server, including calendar information, browsing history, email content, and chat messages.

[0968] Step 5:

[0969] The server receives data sent from the user's device, and collects information that reveals the user's behavioral patterns and preferences.

[0970] Step 6:

[0971] The server analyzes the received data and updates the user profile by using machine learning algorithms to learn the user's interests and tendencies and reflect the results in the profile.

[0972] Step 7:

[0973] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals for each user based on the updated user profile, including planning that takes into account past behavioral patterns, current trends, and seasonal factors.

[0974] Step 8:

[0975] The server transmits the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal, allowing the user to check the proposed schedule proposal.

[0976] Step 9:

[0977] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[0978] Step 10:

[0979] When the user approves the proposed schedule, the information is sent from the user's device to the server, which triggers the server to start the next processing step.

[0980] Step 11:

[0981] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing tickets to an event.

[0982] Step 12:

[0983] If the reservation is successful, the server sends the details to the user's terminal, allowing the user to check the reservation details.

[0984] Step 13:

[0985] The user terminal notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user is informed that the schedule has been confirmed and the specific reservation contents.

[0986] Step 14:

[0987] When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user terminal will send a reminder to the user, urging the user to confirm or cancel the reservation within the deadline.

[0988] Step 15:

[0989] If the user does not confirm or take any action after the cancellation deadline has passed, that information is sent from the user terminal to the server.

[0990] Step 16:

[0991] The server automatically cancels the reservation. The user's terminal is notified that the cancellation has been completed, and the user is also notified of the cancellation.

[0992] Through these steps, the system of the present invention allows users to enjoy quality private time while saving time and effort.

[0993] Example 1

[0994] 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."

[0995] Today's busy lifestyles make it difficult and cumbersome for users to plan and book activities that allow them to spend quality time. Manual scheduling and booking procedures, in particular, are extremely time-consuming and laborious, placing a significant burden on users. Furthermore, while it is necessary to accurately understand users' past behavioral patterns and current interests in order to propose plans that match their interests and preferences, there is currently a lack of effective methods for achieving this.

[0996] 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.

[0997] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting schedule management information, web history, email, and communication application data from the user terminal, means for transmitting the collected data to the server and updating the user profile, means for the server to automatically generate an optimal personalized schedule proposal based on the user profile, means for transmitting the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal and requesting the user's confirmation and approval, means for automatically executing the reservation over the network based on the user's approval, means for notifying the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and means for sending a reminder to the user when the cancellation deadline is approaching and automatically canceling the reservation as necessary. This allows users to efficiently enjoy high-quality private time without going through complicated procedures.

[0998] "User terminal" means an electronic device used by a user, including a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer.

[0999] "Date management information" refers to schedule and appointment information stored in a user's calendar or schedule management application.

[1006] "Network" refers to a communications infrastructure that allows computers and other devices to share information.

[1007] A "reminder" is a notification or alert that prompts the user to take a specific action.

[1008] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes user data and makes predictions and suggestions.

[1009] The system of this invention is a support system for efficiently enriching users' private time. Its specific configuration consists of two main components: a user terminal and a server. The user terminal is a smartphone, tablet, or PC, and functions as an interface with the user. The server is a central computer system that performs data analysis, profile updates, schedule generation, and reservation management.

[1010] Data collection implementation:

[1011] The user's device collects the user's schedule information, web history, email, and communication application data. Specifically, for example, it retrieves calendar information using the Google Calendar API, analyzes search history using a Chrome extension, and also analyzes the Gmail IMAP API and message content from communication applications.

[1012] Profile update implementation:

[1013] The server receives data in JSON format sent from the user device via the HTTPS protocol, then analyzes the data using Python's Pandas library and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences.

[1014] Schedule generation embodiment:

[1015] The server automatically generates optimal personalized schedule suggestions using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) based on the updated user profile. The AI ​​creates suggestions by inputting a prompt sentence into the generative AI model: "Please suggest plans for next weekend. My recent browser history includes 'hot springs' and 'travel.'"

[1016] Schedule notification and confirmation implementation:

[1017] The server sends the generated schedule proposal in JSON format to the user's device, which then notifies the user via mobile push notification or in-app notification and displays an "Approve" button on the app's UI, allowing the user to review and approve the schedule proposal.

[1018] Reservation form:

[1019] When the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server. The server then calls the API of the travel site or facility reservation system to make the reservation for the specified dates. If the reservation is successful, the information is sent back to the user's device in JSON format.

[1020] Notification and reminder implementation examples:

[1021] The user's device will notify them of the confirmed schedule and reservation details via push notification, and will also use the timer function in the calendar app to send reminders when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[1022] Implementation of automatic cancellation:

[1023] The server checks the cancellation deadline, and if the user does not confirm by the deadline, it calls the reservation system's API to automatically process the cancellation.

[1024] This system allows users to easily find the best plan based on their interests and schedule, eliminating complicated procedures and allowing them to enjoy relaxing private time efficiently.

[1135] Detailed processing

[1136] Data collection and profile updates

[1137] Data collected from the user's device is sent to a server, which uses it to update the user profile, for example by retrieving the user's schedule from their smartphone's calendar information and emails, or analyzing their food preferences from their browser history.

[1138] Schedule Generation and Notification

[1139] The server generates a private schedule proposal based on the updated profile, which is then sent to the user's device, where the user can review and approve the proposal, allowing the user to plan quality private time.

[1140] Food delivery suggestions and auto-ordering

[1141] Once the user approves the proposed schedule, the server generates food delivery suggestions. It suggests meals that match the user's preferences and automatically places the order once the user confirms. For example, if the user has free time in their schedule, it will suggest meals they might like based on their past history and notify their smartphone of the suggestions.

[1142] Example

[1143] For example, if a user with free weekend plans has recently frequently searched for "pasta dishes," the system will detect this and generate a schedule suggesting a pasta set for lunch next Saturday. If the user approves this suggestion, food delivery will be automatically ordered at the specified time.

[1144] Example prompts for generative AI models

[1145] "Generate the following food delivery suggestions. The user's preferences are sushi and soup, and data collection indicates that there is availability for lunch today. Please provide the best suggestions."

[1146] In this way, the server automatically optimizes the user's private time and meals, allowing them to live a more efficient and fulfilling life.

[1147] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1148] Step 1:

[1149] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Specifically, it obtains the user's schedule from the smartphone's calendar app and extracts information about visited websites from the internet browser history. It also collects related data from email and chat applications. The input is various data stored on the user's device, and the output is a data package sent to the server.

[1150] Step 2:

[1151] The server receives and analyzes data sent from the user's device. The received data includes the user's calendar information, browsing history, email content, and chat content. The server uses this data to update the user profile. For example, it can analyze the user's interests from search history over a certain period of time and reflect this in the profile. The input is a set of data sent from the user's device, and the output is an updated user profile.

[1152] Step 3:

[1153] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals based on the updated user profile. Schedule proposals are created taking into account past behavioral patterns and preferences, current trends, seasonal factors, and more. A generative AI model is then used to predict future behavioral patterns from past data. The input is the latest user profile, and the output is the generated private schedule proposal.

[1154] Step 4:

[1155] The server sends the generated private schedule proposal to the user's terminal. The user's terminal notifies the user of the received schedule proposal and asks for confirmation and approval of the contents. The input is the schedule proposal sent from the server, and the output is the notification to the user's terminal.

[1156] Step 5:

[1157] The user checks and approves the proposed schedule on the terminal. When the user presses the approval button, the confirmation information is sent to the server. The input is the user's confirmation operation, and the output is the approval information.

[1158] Step 6:

[1159] The server automatically executes reservations over the Internet based on the user's approval. For example, it orders food delivery based on available times. This process uses the APIs of reservation systems and delivery services. The input is the user's approval information, and the output is the processed reservation information.

[1160] Step 7:

[1161] The server notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user terminal receives this information and notifies the user. The input is the confirmed schedule and reservation information, and the output is the notification to the user.

[1162] Step 8:

[1163] The server sends a reminder to the user when the cancellation deadline is approaching. If the user does not confirm by the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation. This process involves another confirmation process with the user interface. The input is information about the cancellation deadline, and the output is the reminder notification and cancellation process.

[1164] These steps will enable efficient schedule management and meal suggestions and offerings that fit the user's lifestyle.

[1165] 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.

[1166] The private life enrichment support system of the present invention is a system that supports users in spending quality private time even in the midst of a busy lifestyle. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[1167] System Configuration

[1168] This system consists of three main components: a user device, a server, and an emotion engine. The user device is a smartphone, tablet, or PC, and functions as the interface with the user. The server is a central computer system that analyzes data, generates schedules, and manages reservations. The emotion engine recognizes and analyzes user emotions and reflects the results throughout the system.

[1169] Main features

[1170] 1. Data Collection:

[1171] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Schedule information is obtained from the calendar application, and keywords of interest are extracted from the web browser's browsing history. The user's communication content from email and chat applications is also analyzed to extract information about their interests and schedules.

[1172] 2. Profile Update:

[1173] The server receives data sent from the user's device and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences. It also reflects emotional information received from the emotion engine.

[1174] 3. Emotion recognition:

[1175] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions through voice, text, facial recognition, etc. The analyzed emotion information is sent to the server and added to the user profile.

[1176] 4. Schedule generation:

[1177] The server automatically generates a private schedule that is optimal for the user based on the updated user profile. This also takes into account emotional information, providing a schedule that corresponds to the user's emotional state, for example by suggesting relaxation activities if the user is feeling stressed.

[1178] 5. Schedule Notification and Confirmation:

[1179] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[1180] 6. Making a reservation:

[1181] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing event tickets. If the reservation is successful, the reservation information is sent to the user's device.

[1182] 7. Notifications and Reminders:

[1183] The user device will notify the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and will also notify the user as a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[1184] 8. Automatic Cancellation:

[1185] Information is sent from the user's terminal to the server, and reservations that the user did not confirm by the deadline are automatically canceled. The user is notified that the cancellation has been completed.

[1186] Specific examples

[1187] For example, suppose a user is interested in "hot spring trips." The user's device retrieves the information "No plans for next weekend" from the calendar and detects keywords such as "hot springs" and "trips" from the web browser search history. Meanwhile, the emotion engine analyzes emotions such as "tiredness" and "stress" from the user's recent chat history and voice input.

[1188] Based on this information, the server updates the user's profile to indicate that "the user is interested in hot spring trips and needs relaxation," and suggests a "hot spring trip schedule for next weekend." The user's device notifies the user of this proposed schedule, and when the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server, and the hot spring inn reservation is automatically made. The user is then notified of the confirmed reservation details and schedule. When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user is sent a reminder, and if they do not confirm within the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation.

[1189] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to efficiently enjoy their optimal private time without having to go through complicated procedures. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide a more personalized experience according to the user's emotional state.

[1190] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1191] Step 1:

[1192] The user terminal acquires calendar information, which includes an operation of accessing a calendar application and collecting information on appointments and free time entered by the user.

[1193] Step 2:

[1194] The user terminal acquires the browsing history of the web browser, which includes an operation of analyzing the search history for specific keywords (e.g., hot springs, travel).

[1195] Step 3:

[1196] The user terminal acquires email and chat data, which includes analyzing the contents of received emails and chat messages and extracting schedules and interests.

[1197] Step 4:

[1198] The emotion engine analyzes user emotions based on user voice, text, and facial recognition data, including using emotion analysis algorithms to identify a user's emotional state (e.g., joy, stress, fatigue).

[1199] Step 5:

[1200] The user device integrates all the data collected and analyzed in steps 1 to 4 into a single dataset and sends it to the server. This dataset includes calendar information, browsing history, email content, chat messages, and emotional information.

[1201] Step 6:

[1202] The server receives data sent from the user's device, and collects information that reveals the user's behavioral patterns, preferences, and emotional state.

[1203] Step 7:

[1204] The server analyzes the received data and updates the user profile. Specifically, it uses machine learning and sentiment analysis algorithms to learn the user's interests, tendencies, and emotional state, and updates the profile accordingly.

[1205] Step 8:

[1206] The server automatically generates a private schedule that is optimal for the user based on the updated user profile. This also takes into account emotional information, providing a schedule that corresponds to the user's emotional state, for example by suggesting relaxation activities if the user is feeling stressed.

[1207] Step 9:

[1208] The server transmits the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal, allowing the user to check the proposed schedule proposal.

[1209] Step 10:

[1210] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[1211] Step 11:

[1212] When the user approves the proposed schedule, the information is sent from the user's device to the server, which triggers the server to start the next processing step.

[1213] Step 12:

[1214] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing tickets to an event.

[1215] Step 13:

[1216] If the reservation is successful, the server sends the details to the user's terminal, allowing the user to check the reservation details.

[1217] Step 14:

[1218] The user terminal notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user is informed that the schedule has been confirmed and the specific reservation contents.

[1219] Step 15:

[1220] When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user terminal will send a reminder to the user, urging the user to confirm or cancel the reservation within the deadline.

[1221] Step 16:

[1222] If the user does not confirm or take any action after the cancellation deadline has passed, that information is sent from the user terminal to the server.

[1223] Step 17:

[1224] The server automatically cancels the reservation. The user's terminal is notified that the cancellation has been completed, and the user is also notified of the cancellation.

[1225] Through these steps, the system of the present invention allows users to enjoy quality private time while saving time. By combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide a more personalized experience according to the user's emotional state.

[1226] Example 2

[1347] Specific examples

[1348] For example, if a user has no plans for the next weekend, the user's device sends that information to the server. The emotion engine then analyzes the user's emotional information, such as their recent stress levels, and the server suggests a "hot spring trip." The user is notified of this suggestion, and when the user presses the "approval" button, the server automatically makes a reservation for the hot spring resort. If the reservation is successful, the information is sent to the user's device. Furthermore, when the user enters a shopping mall, discount information and recommended product information are displayed in real time on the user's device.

[1349] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1350] "Create a system that makes shopping suggestions based on emotion information to help users find the best private time for themselves despite their busy schedules. Recognize users' emotions and provide product suggestions and store information in real time based on that information."

[1351] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to spend quality private time while eliminating cumbersome procedures, and also realizes personalized product proposals that take emotional information into consideration and the provision of information in real time.

[1352] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1353] Step 1:

[1354] The user device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Specifically, data is obtained from the device's calendar application, browser history, email application, and chat application, and then preprocessed to extract a valid dataset and send it to the server. The input is the raw data from each application, and the output is the preprocessed data.

[1355] Step 2:

[1356] The server updates the user profile based on the received data. This profile includes the user's behavioral patterns, interests, schedule, etc., and updates each item in the profile using the data sent in the previous step. The input is the preprocessed data, and the output is the updated user profile.

[1357] Step 3:

[1358] The emotion engine analyzes emotional data such as the user's voice, text, and facial images. The emotion engine acquires voice and facial images from the user's device and uses an emotion recognition algorithm to determine the user's emotional state. The results are sent to the server. The input is voice data and facial images, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state.

[1359] Step 4:

[1360] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals based on the user profile and emotional data. Using a generative AI model, the server inputs the user profile and emotional information and proposes the optimal schedule for the user. The input is the updated user profile and emotional data, and the output is the generated schedule proposal.

[1361] Step 5:

[1362] The server sends the generated schedule proposal to the user's terminal and asks the user to confirm and approve it. Specifically, it displays a notification of the schedule proposal on the terminal, allowing the user to confirm it and send instructions for approval or modification. The input is the generated schedule proposal, and the output is the user's response.

[1363] Step 6:

[1364] Based on the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet. For example, it makes online reservations for accommodation or event tickets and sends the results to the user's device. The input is the schedule plan approved by the user, and the output is reservation confirmation information.

[1365] Step 7:

[1366] When a user enters a physical store, the server sends recommendation and discount information to the user's device in real time. Specifically, it uses the store's location information and in-store sensor information to detect that the user is inside the store and immediately notifies the user of relevant information. The input is the user's location information, and the output is real-time recommendation and discount information.

[1367] Step 8:

[1368] The server notifies the user's device of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and sends a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches. Furthermore, if the user does not respond by the deadline, the reservation is automatically canceled. The input is the confirmed schedule, reservation details, and the user's response, and the output is a reminder or cancellation confirmation.

[1369] 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.

[1370] 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.

[1371] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the headset type terminal 314.

[1386] The private life enrichment support system of the present invention is a system that supports users in spending quality private time even in the midst of a busy lifestyle. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[1387] System Configuration

[1388] This system consists of two main components: a user device and a server. The user device can be a smartphone, tablet, or PC and acts as the interface with the user. The server is the central computer system that analyzes data, generates schedules, and manages reservations.

[1389] Main features

[1390] 1. Data Collection:

[1391] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. This involves obtaining schedule information from calendar applications, extracting keywords of interest from web browser browsing history, and analyzing the user's communication content from email and chat apps to extract interests and schedules.

[1392] 2. Profile Update:

[1393] The server receives the data sent from the user's device and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences, preparing to propose a personalized schedule.

[1394] 3. Schedule generation:

[1395] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule suggestions based on the updated user profile. Specifically, it plans trips and event options taking into account past behavioral patterns, current trends, and seasonal factors. The generated schedule suggestions are adjusted to match the user's hobbies and tendencies.

[1396] 4. Schedule Notification and Confirmation:

[1397] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks and approves the proposed schedule.

[1398] 5. Making a reservation:

[1399] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, including reserving accommodations and purchasing event tickets. If the reservation is successful, the server notifies the user's device of the reservation information.

[1400] 6. Notifications and Reminders:

[1401] The user device will notify the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and will also notify the user as a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[1402] 7. Automatic Cancellation:

[1403] Information is sent from the user's terminal to the server, and reservations that the user has not confirmed by the deadline are automatically canceled, preventing unnecessary reservation fees from being incurred.

[1404] Specific examples

[1405] For example, suppose a user is interested in "hot spring trips." The user's device retrieves the information "No plans for next weekend" from the calendar and detects keywords such as "hot springs" and "trips" from the search history of the web browser.

[1406] Based on this information, the server updates the user's profile to indicate that "the user is interested in hot spring trips" and proposes a "hot spring trip schedule for the following weekend." The user's device notifies the user of this proposed schedule, and when the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server, and the hot spring inn reservation is automatically made. The user is then notified of the confirmed reservation details and schedule. When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user is sent a reminder, and if they do not confirm within the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation.

[1407] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to efficiently enjoy optimal private time without having to go through complicated procedures themselves.

[1408] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1409] Step 1:

[1410] The user terminal acquires calendar information, which includes an operation of accessing a calendar application and collecting information on appointments and free time entered by the user.

[1411] Step 2:

[1412] The user terminal acquires the browsing history of the web browser, which includes an operation of analyzing the search history for specific keywords (e.g., hot springs, travel).

[1413] Step 3:

[1414] The user terminal acquires email and chat data, which includes analyzing the contents of received emails and chat messages and extracting schedules and interests.

[1415] Step 4:

[1416] The user device consolidates all collected data into a single data set and sends it to the server, including calendar information, browsing history, email content, and chat messages.

[1417] Step 5:

[1418] The server receives data sent from the user's device, and collects information that reveals the user's behavioral patterns and preferences.

[1419] Step 6:

[1420] The server analyzes the received data and updates the user profile by using machine learning algorithms to learn the user's interests and tendencies and reflect the results in the profile.

[1421] Step 7:

[1422] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals for each user based on the updated user profile, including planning that takes into account past behavioral patterns, current trends, and seasonal factors.

[1423] Step 8:

[1424] The server transmits the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal, allowing the user to check the proposed schedule proposal.

[1425] Step 9:

[1426] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[1427] Step 10:

[1428] When the user approves the proposed schedule, the information is sent from the user's device to the server, which triggers the server to start the next processing step.

[1429] Step 11:

[1430] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing tickets to an event.

[1431] Step 12:

[1432] If the reservation is successful, the server sends the details to the user's terminal, allowing the user to check the reservation details.

[1433] Step 13:

[1434] The user terminal notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user is informed that the schedule has been confirmed and the specific reservation contents.

[1435] Step 14:

[1436] When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user terminal will send a reminder to the user, urging the user to confirm or cancel the reservation within the deadline.

[1437] Step 15:

[1438] If the user does not confirm or take any action after the cancellation deadline has passed, that information is sent from the user terminal to the server.

[1439] Step 16:

[1440] The server automatically cancels the reservation. The user's terminal is notified that the cancellation has been completed, and the user is also notified of the cancellation.

[1441] Through these steps, the system of the present invention allows users to enjoy quality private time while saving time and effort.

[1442] Example 1

[1443] 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."

[1444] Today's busy lifestyles make it difficult and cumbersome for users to plan and book activities that allow them to spend quality time. Manual scheduling and booking procedures, in particular, are extremely time-consuming and laborious, placing a significant burden on users. Furthermore, while it is necessary to accurately understand users' past behavioral patterns and current interests in order to propose plans that match their interests and preferences, there is currently a lack of effective methods for achieving this.

[1445] 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.

[1446] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting schedule management information, web history, email, and communication application data from the user terminal, means for transmitting the collected data to the server and updating the user profile, means for the server to automatically generate an optimal personalized schedule proposal based on the user profile, means for transmitting the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal and requesting the user's confirmation and approval, means for automatically executing the reservation over the network based on the user's approval, means for notifying the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and means for sending a reminder to the user when the cancellation deadline is approaching and automatically canceling the reservation as necessary. This allows users to efficiently enjoy high-quality private time without going through complicated procedures.

[1447] "User terminal" means an electronic device used by a user, including a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer.

[1448] "Date management information" refers to schedule and appointment information stored in a user's calendar or schedule management application.

[1454] "Personalized schedule suggestions" refers to private activity plans suggested based on the user's hobbies, interests, and past behavioral data.

[1455] "Network" refers to a communications infrastructure that allows computers and other devices to share information.

[1456] A "reminder" is a notification or alert that prompts the user to take a specific action.

[1457] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes user data and makes predictions and suggestions.

[1458] The system of this invention is a support system for efficiently enriching users' private time. Its specific configuration consists of two main components: a user terminal and a server. The user terminal is a smartphone, tablet, or PC, and functions as an interface with the user. The server is a central computer system that performs data analysis, profile updates, schedule generation, and reservation management.

[1459] Data collection implementation:

[1460] The user's device collects the user's schedule information, web history, email, and communication application data.

[1461] Profile update implementation:

[1462] The server receives data in JSON format sent from the user device via the HTTPS protocol, then analyzes the data using Python's Pandas library and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences.

[1463] Schedule generation embodiment:

[1464] The server automatically generates optimal personalized schedule suggestions using a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) based on the updated user profile. The AI ​​creates suggestions by inputting a prompt sentence into the generative AI model: "Please suggest plans for next weekend. My recent browser history includes 'hot springs' and 'travel.'"

[1465] Schedule notification and confirmation implementation:

[1466] The server sends the generated schedule proposal in JSON format to the user's device, which then notifies the user via mobile push notification or in-app notification and displays an "Approve" button on the app's UI, allowing the user to review and approve the schedule proposal.

[1467] Reservation form:

[1468] When the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server. The server then calls the API of the travel site or facility reservation system to make the reservation for the specified dates. If the reservation is successful, the information is sent back to the user's device in JSON format.

[1469] Notification and reminder implementation examples:

[1470] The user's device will notify them of the confirmed schedule and reservation details via push notification, and will also use the timer function in the calendar app to send reminders when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[1471] Implementation of automatic cancellation:

[1472] The server checks the cancellation deadline, and if the user does not confirm by the deadline, it calls the reservation system's API to automatically process the cancellation.

[1473] This system allows users to easily find the best plan based on their interests and schedule, eliminating complicated procedures and allowing them to enjoy relaxing private time efficiently.

[1570] The present invention is a system for supporting users in enriching their meals and private time, and is implemented using a user terminal and a server. A detailed description of the system is provided below.

[1571] Main functions and configuration

[1572] User Device

[1573] User devices can be smartphones, tablets or PCs. They act as an interface between the user and the system and collect data such as:

[1574] Calendar Information

[1575] Browsing history

[1576] Email

[1577] Chat Data

[1578] This collected data is sent to a server, where a personalized profile is created based on the user's real-time information.

[1579] server

[1580] The server plays a key role in analyzing data, updating user profiles, and automatically generating private schedule suggestions and food delivery suggestions. Specifically, it performs the following tasks:

[1581] 1. Data analysis and profile update: Analyze user behavior patterns based on the received data and update the profile.

[1582] 2. Schedule Generation: Generates an optimal private schedule based on the updated profile, taking into account past behavioral patterns, current trends, and seasonal factors.

[1583] 3. Food delivery suggestions: Taking into account the user's food preferences and schedule, we suggest the most suitable food delivery options.

[1584] Detailed processing

[1585] Data collection and profile updates

[1586] Data collected from the user's device is sent to a server, which uses it to update the user profile, for example by retrieving the user's schedule from their smartphone's calendar information and emails, or analyzing their food preferences from their browser history.

[1587] Schedule Generation and Notification

[1588] The server generates a private schedule proposal based on the updated profile, which is then sent to the user's device, where the user can review and approve the proposal, allowing the user to plan quality private time.

[1589] Food delivery suggestions and auto-ordering

[1590] Once the user approves the proposed schedule, the server generates food delivery suggestions. It suggests meals that match the user's preferences and automatically places the order once the user confirms. For example, if the user has free time in their schedule, it will suggest meals they might like based on their past history and notify their smartphone of the suggestions.

[1591] Example

[1592] For example, if a user with free weekend plans has recently frequently searched for "pasta dishes," the system will detect this and generate a schedule suggesting a pasta set for lunch next Saturday. If the user approves this suggestion, food delivery will be automatically ordered at the specified time.

[1593] Example prompts for generative AI models

[1594] "Generate the following food delivery suggestions. The user's preferences are sushi and soup, and data collection indicates that there is availability for lunch today. Please provide the best suggestions."

[1595] In this way, the server automatically optimizes the user's private time and meals, allowing them to live a more efficient and fulfilling life.

[1596] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1597] Step 1:

[1598] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Specifically, it obtains the user's schedule from the smartphone's calendar app and extracts information about visited websites from the internet browser history. It also collects related data from email and chat applications. The input is various data stored on the user's device, and the output is a data package sent to the server.

[1599] Step 2:

[1600] The server receives and analyzes data sent from the user's device. The received data includes the user's calendar information, browsing history, email content, and chat content. The server uses this data to update the user profile. For example, it can analyze the user's interests from search history over a certain period of time and reflect this in the profile. The input is a set of data sent from the user's device, and the output is an updated user profile.

[1601] Step 3:

[1602] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals based on the updated user profile. Schedule proposals are created taking into account past behavioral patterns and preferences, current trends, seasonal factors, and more. A generative AI model is then used to predict future behavioral patterns from past data. The input is the latest user profile, and the output is the generated private schedule proposal.

[1603] Step 4:

[1604] The server sends the generated private schedule proposal to the user's terminal. The user's terminal notifies the user of the received schedule proposal and asks for confirmation and approval of the contents. The input is the schedule proposal sent from the server, and the output is the notification to the user's terminal.

[1605] Step 5:

[1606] The user checks and approves the proposed schedule on the terminal. When the user presses the approval button, the confirmation information is sent to the server. The input is the user's confirmation operation, and the output is the approval information.

[1607] Step 6:

[1608] The server automatically executes reservations over the Internet based on the user's approval. For example, it orders food delivery based on available times. This process uses the APIs of reservation systems and delivery services. The input is the user's approval information, and the output is the processed reservation information.

[1609] Step 7:

[1610] The server notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user terminal receives this information and notifies the user. The input is the confirmed schedule and reservation information, and the output is the notification to the user.

[1611] Step 8:

[1612] The server sends a reminder to the user when the cancellation deadline is approaching. If the user does not confirm by the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation. This process involves another confirmation process with the user interface. The input is information about the cancellation deadline, and the output is the reminder notification and cancellation process.

[1613] These steps will enable efficient schedule management and meal suggestions and offerings that fit the user's lifestyle.

[1614] 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.

[1615] The private life enrichment support system of the present invention is a system that supports users in spending quality private time even in the midst of a busy lifestyle. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[1616] System Configuration

[1617] This system consists of three main components: a user device, a server, and an emotion engine. The user device is a smartphone, tablet, or PC, and functions as the interface with the user. The server is a central computer system that analyzes data, generates schedules, and manages reservations. The emotion engine recognizes and analyzes user emotions and reflects the results throughout the system.

[1618] Main features

[1619] 1. Data Collection:

[1620] The user's device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Schedule information is obtained from the calendar application, and keywords of interest are extracted from the web browser's browsing history. The user's communication content from email and chat applications is also analyzed to extract information about their interests and schedules.

[1621] 2. Profile Update:

[1622] The server receives data sent from the user's device and updates the user profile based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences. It also reflects emotional information received from the emotion engine.

[1623] 3. Emotion recognition:

[1624] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions through voice, text, facial recognition, etc. The analyzed emotion information is sent to the server and added to the user profile.

[1625] 4. Schedule generation:

[1626] The server automatically generates a private schedule that is optimal for the user based on the updated user profile. This also takes into account emotional information, providing a schedule that corresponds to the user's emotional state, for example by suggesting relaxation activities if the user is feeling stressed.

[1627] 5. Schedule Notification and Confirmation:

[1628] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[1629] 6. Making a reservation:

[1630] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing event tickets. If the reservation is successful, the reservation information is sent to the user's device.

[1631] 7. Notifications and Reminders:

[1632] The user device will notify the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and will also notify the user as a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches.

[1633] 8. Automatic Cancellation:

[1634] Information is sent from the user's terminal to the server, and reservations that the user did not confirm by the deadline are automatically canceled. The user is notified that the cancellation has been completed.

[1635] Specific examples

[1636] For example, suppose a user is interested in "hot spring trips." The user's device retrieves the information "No plans for next weekend" from the calendar and detects keywords such as "hot springs" and "trips" from the web browser search history. Meanwhile, the emotion engine analyzes emotions such as "tiredness" and "stress" from the user's recent chat history and voice input.

[1637] Based on this information, the server updates the user's profile to indicate that "the user is interested in hot spring trips and needs relaxation," and suggests a "hot spring trip schedule for next weekend." The user's device notifies the user of this proposed schedule, and when the user presses the approval button, the information is sent to the server, and the hot spring inn reservation is automatically made. The user is then notified of the confirmed reservation details and schedule. When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user is sent a reminder, and if they do not confirm within the deadline, the server automatically cancels the reservation.

[1638] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to efficiently enjoy their optimal private time without having to go through complicated procedures. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide a more personalized experience according to the user's emotional state.

[1639] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1640] Step 1:

[1641] The user terminal acquires calendar information, which includes an operation of accessing a calendar application and collecting information on appointments and free time entered by the user.

[1642] Step 2:

[1643] The user terminal acquires the browsing history of the web browser, which includes an operation of analyzing the search history for specific keywords (e.g., hot springs, travel).

[1644] Step 3:

[1645] The user terminal acquires email and chat data, which includes analyzing the contents of received emails and chat messages and extracting schedules and interests.

[1646] Step 4:

[1647] The emotion engine analyzes user emotions based on user voice, text, and facial recognition data, including using emotion analysis algorithms to identify a user's emotional state (e.g., joy, stress, fatigue).

[1648] Step 5:

[1649] The user device integrates all the data collected and analyzed in steps 1 to 4 into a single dataset and sends it to the server. This dataset includes calendar information, browsing history, email content, chat messages, and emotional information.

[1650] Step 6:

[1651] The server receives data sent from the user's device, and collects information that reveals the user's behavioral patterns, preferences, and emotional state.

[1652] Step 7:

[1653] The server analyzes the received data and updates the user profile. Specifically, it uses machine learning and sentiment analysis algorithms to learn the user's interests, tendencies, and emotional state, and updates the profile accordingly.

[1654] Step 8:

[1655] The server automatically generates a private schedule that is optimal for the user based on the updated user profile. This also takes into account emotional information, providing a schedule that corresponds to the user's emotional state, for example by suggesting relaxation activities if the user is feeling stressed.

[1656] Step 9:

[1657] The server transmits the generated schedule proposal to the user terminal, allowing the user to check the proposed schedule proposal.

[1658] Step 10:

[1659] The user terminal receives the proposed schedule from the server and notifies the user, who then checks the proposed schedule and selects whether to approve or modify it.

[1660] Step 11:

[1661] When the user approves the proposed schedule, the information is sent from the user's device to the server, which triggers the server to start the next processing step.

[1662] Step 12:

[1663] With the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet, such as reserving accommodation or purchasing tickets to an event.

[1664] Step 13:

[1665] If the reservation is successful, the server sends the details to the user's terminal, allowing the user to check the reservation details.

[1666] Step 14:

[1667] The user terminal notifies the user of the confirmed schedule and reservation details. The user is informed that the schedule has been confirmed and the specific reservation contents.

[1668] Step 15:

[1669] When the cancellation deadline approaches, the user terminal will send a reminder to the user, urging the user to confirm or cancel the reservation within the deadline.

[1670] Step 16:

[1671] If the user does not confirm or take any action after the cancellation deadline has passed, that information is sent from the user terminal to the server.

[1672] Step 17:

[1673] The server automatically cancels the reservation. The user's terminal is notified that the cancellation has been completed, and the user is also notified of the cancellation.

[1674] Through these steps, the system of the present invention allows users to enjoy quality private time while saving time. By combining it with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide a more personalized experience according to the user's emotional state.

[1796] Specific examples

[1797] For example, if a user has no plans for the next weekend, the user's device sends that information to the server. The emotion engine then analyzes the user's emotional information, such as their recent stress levels, and the server suggests a "hot spring trip." The user is notified of this suggestion, and when the user presses the "approval" button, the server automatically makes a reservation for the hot spring resort. If the reservation is successful, the information is sent to the user's device. Furthermore, when the user enters a shopping mall, discount information and recommended product information are displayed in real time on the user's device.

[1798] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1799] "Create a system that makes shopping suggestions based on emotion information to help users find the best private time for themselves despite their busy schedules. Recognize users' emotions and provide product suggestions and store information in real time based on that information."

[1800] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to spend quality private time while eliminating cumbersome procedures, and also realizes personalized product proposals that take emotional information into consideration and the provision of information in real time.

[1801] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1802] Step 1:

[1803] The user device collects calendar information, browsing history, email, and chat data. Specifically, data is obtained from the device's calendar application, browser history, email application, and chat application, and then preprocessed to extract a valid dataset and send it to the server. The input is the raw data from each application, and the output is the preprocessed data.

[1804] Step 2:

[1805] The server updates the user profile based on the received data. This profile includes the user's behavioral patterns, interests, schedule, etc., and updates each item in the profile using the data sent in the previous step. The input is the preprocessed data, and the output is the updated user profile.

[1806] Step 3:

[1807] The emotion engine analyzes emotional data such as the user's voice, text, and facial images. The emotion engine acquires voice and facial images from the user's device and uses an emotion recognition algorithm to determine the user's emotional state. The results are sent to the server. The input is voice data and facial images, and the output is data indicating the user's emotional state.

[1808] Step 4:

[1809] The server automatically generates optimal private schedule proposals based on the user profile and emotional data. Using a generative AI model, the server inputs the user profile and emotional information and proposes the optimal schedule for the user. The input is the updated user profile and emotional data, and the output is the generated schedule proposal.

[1810] Step 5:

[1811] The server sends the generated schedule proposal to the user's terminal and asks the user to confirm and approve it. Specifically, it displays a notification of the schedule proposal on the terminal, allowing the user to confirm it and send instructions for approval or modification. The input is the generated schedule proposal, and the output is the user's response.

[1812] Step 6:

[1813] Based on the user's approval, the server automatically makes the necessary reservations over the Internet. For example, it makes online reservations for accommodation or event tickets and sends the results to the user's device. The input is the schedule plan approved by the user, and the output is reservation confirmation information.

[1814] Step 7:

[1815] When a user enters a physical store, the server sends recommendation and discount information to the user's device in real time. Specifically, it uses the store's location information and in-store sensor information to detect that the user is inside the store and immediately notifies the user of relevant information. The input is the user's location information, and the output is real-time recommendation and discount information.

[1816] Step 8:

[1817] The server notifies the user's device of the confirmed schedule and reservation details, and sends a reminder when the cancellation deadline approaches. Furthermore, if the user does not respond by the deadline, the reservation is automatically canceled. The input is the confirmed schedule, reservation details, and the user's response, and the output is a reminder or cancellation confirmation.

[1818] 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.

[1819] 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.

[1820] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.

[1821] 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.

[1822] 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.

[1823] 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.

[1824] 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).

[1825] 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.

[1826] 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."

[1827] 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.

[1828] 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).

[1829] 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.

[1830] 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.

[1831] 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.

[1832] 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.

[1833] 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.

[1834] 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.

[1835] 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.

[1836] 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.
