[0001] The present invention relates to an input support device and a program for efficiently inputting predefined messages with fewer operations when using an AI chat service. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, techniques for improving the user interface in dialogue systems have been known. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2010-160608, entitled "Dialogue Device, Dialogue Program, and Dialogue Method," discloses a dialogue system that responds to user utterances according to the user's interests. This dialogue system includes a user information input means, a main word extraction function, and a function for managing dialogue between the user and the system. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-160608 "Dialogue device, dialogue program and dialogue method" Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, this prior art does not mention a function for efficiently selecting from multiple predefined messages, nor does it provide an input support function specialized for advanced dialogue systems such as AI chat services.

[0005] Current AI chat services often require multiple operations when users input instructions. For example, if you want to summarize the output of an AI chat service in Japanese and translate it into English, you must either type the instruction each time, or select, copy, and paste the text data of the instruction prepared in advance. This is just one example, and similar issues arise in a variety of situations.

[0006] To address the above issues, there is a need for the development of a new input support system that will facilitate smoother communication with AI chat services by simplifying user input operations. Specifically, there is a need for an input support device and program that has the functionality to select predefined messages with minimal operations and quickly send them to AI chat services. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention provides an input support device and a program having the following configuration.

[0008] A rotary selection mechanism for selecting input from a predefined message list for an AI chat service

[0009] A push-button decision mechanism for determining and sending selected messages to an AI chat service

[0010] : A predefined message control function for AI chat that displays a message list, displays selected messages, and applies and manages them to the AI ​​chat service.

[0011] These mechanisms and functions

[0008] ,

[0009] , and

[0010] are integrated into a jog dial-type input device, allowing users to select messages by rotating them and confirm and send them by pressing them. The message list can also be customized to meet the individual needs of each user. This allows for efficient input with fewer operations, facilitating communication with the AI ​​chat service. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

[0013] Users can quickly and accurately input predefined messages into the AI ​​chat service with minimal operations. Specifically, by combining a rotary selection mechanism and a press-to-select mechanism, they can select the desired message from a list of multiple predefined messages for the AI ​​chat service and send it in just a few operations.

[0014] By preparing frequently used or complex instructions as predefined messages for AI chat services, input errors can be reduced and the quality of communication can be improved.

[0015] It can reduce the time required to interact with AI chat services and improve user productivity.

[0016] By providing a physical input device that can be operated intuitively, even users who are unfamiliar with using a keyboard or mouse will be able to easily use the AI ​​chat service.

[0017] The customizable list of predefined messages for the AI ​​chat service allows for flexible response to individual user needs, facilitating the use of the AI ​​chat service for a variety of applications and fields.

[0018] Due to the effects of the above

[0013] ,

[0014] ,

[0015] ,

[0016] , and

[0017] , the present invention is expected to make the use of AI chat services more efficient and effective, and to elevate communication between users and AI to a new level. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 5] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of implementation of an input support system according to an example of the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an input support system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the input support device and program according to this embodiment are composed of an input device element group (1) and a predefined message control function (2).

[0021] In Figure 1, the AI ​​chat service display unit (3) is not included in the scope of the present invention. The user's pre-transmission message display unit (31), the user's input message transmission function (32), and the display unit (33) for the user's sent messages and chat service output messages are components of the AI ​​chat service display unit (3), and are also not included in the scope of the present invention.

[0022] In Figure 1, the input device element group (1) consists of a rotary selection mechanism (11) for predefined messages for the AI ​​chat service and a press-button decision mechanism (12) for deciding on the message selection and sending it to the AI ​​chat service. (11) and (12) may be implemented independently of each other or integrated.

[0023] In Figure 1, the predefined message control function (2) consists of a function (21) for displaying a predefined message list, a function (22) for displaying a message selected from the message list, and a function (23) for applying the selected message to the AI ​​chat service.

[0024] In Figure 1, the rotary selection mechanism (11) controls a function (21) for displaying a predefined message list and a function (22) for displaying a message selected from the message list by rotating and stopping the rotation. Specifically, the rotation may sequentially change the message selection in the list, and the rotation may stop to select a specific message in the list. Furthermore, when the predefined message control function (2) is not activated, the rotary selection mechanism (11) may activate the control function (2), execute the function (21), and execute the function (22) as a series of operations by rotating the rotary selection mechanism (11).

[0025] In Figure 1, the press-button decision mechanism (12) controls a function (23) that applies a selected message to the AI ​​chat service. Specifically, by activating the application function (23) through a press operation of the mechanism (12), the message may be input to the display unit (31) in the AI ​​chat service display unit (3) and the send function (32) may be activated consecutively. Alternatively, the message may be input and the send function (32) may be activated consecutively without displaying the message on the display unit (31).

[0026] In Figure 1, the rotary selection mechanism (11) may also include a push-button decision mechanism (12). Specifically, by pressing the mechanism (11) to activate the function (23), the AI ​​chat service display unit (3) may input a message to the display unit (31) and activate the send function (32) consecutively. Alternatively, the message may be input and the send function (32) may be activated consecutively without displaying anything on the display unit (31).

[0027] 1, the entire message control function (2) may be displayed on a device other than the device including the input device element group (1) as a display embodiment, or may be displayed on the device itself including the input device element group (1). Alternatively, functions (21), (22), and (23), which are part of the function of (2), may be displayed separately from each other on a display device other than the device including the input device element group (1) as a display embodiment, or may be displayed separately from each other on the device itself including the input device element group (1).

[0028] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of implementation of an input support system according to one example of this embodiment. The predefined message display unit (2a) is a specific embodiment of the display function (2) described above, and is composed of a predefined message list display unit (21a) and a display unit (22a) for a message selected from the message list. The input device (1a) is a specific embodiment of the input device element group (1), and may include a rotary selection mechanism and press-down decision mechanism (11a). Alternatively, the input device (1a) may include (11a) and a press-down decision mechanism (12a).

[0029] In Figure 2, mechanism 11a is a specific embodiment of mechanisms 11 and 12, and may activate display unit 2a and perform list display function 21 and selected message display function 22 of rotary mechanism 11 through a rotary action. Furthermore, mechanism 11a may perform function 23 through a press action. Alternatively, if display unit 2a has already been activated, mechanism 11a may perform list function 21 and selected message display function 22 of rotary mechanism 11 without activating display unit 2a.

[0030] In FIG. 2, a depressing mechanism (12a) is a specific embodiment of the depressing mechanism (12) described above, and may perform a function (23) through a depressing action.

[0031] In Fig. 2, the predefined message display section (2a) is assumed to have multiple display embodiments for the purpose of improving visibility. As one example, the selected message (22a) may be displayed alone without displaying the list display section (21a). As another example, the message list (21a) may be displayed in a manner that floats over the selected message (22a). As yet another example, the message list display section (21a) may substitute for the effect of (22a) by displaying a specific item in the list (21a) in a manner that distinguishes it from other list items.

[0032] 3 shows an example in which the positional relationship between the display unit (2a) in FIG. 2 and the display unit (3) in FIG. 2 is implemented in a different form. In FIG. 3, the display unit (2b) has the functions of the display unit (2a) and is positioned so as to be superimposed on the display unit (3). That is, in FIG. 3, the display unit (2b) is implemented in a form in which the display unit (2a) is the front layer, and the display unit (3) may become the back layer when (2b) is displayed.

[0033] In FIG. 3, when an AI chat service is already being used using (3), a rotation operation using mechanism (11a) can activate display unit (2b) and display it in a form that overlaps (3), and the rotation can be used to sequentially change the message selection in the list, and the rotation can be stopped to select a specific message in the list.

[0034] In Figure 3, similar to the description of Figure 2 in

[0031] , multiple display embodiments are assumed for the purpose of improving visibility. As one example, the selected message (22a) may be displayed alone without displaying the list display section (21a). As another example, the message list (21a) may be displayed in a manner that floats in front of the selected message (22a). As yet another example, the message list display section (21a) may display a specific item in the list (21a) in a manner that distinguishes it from other list items, thereby replacing the effect of (22a).

[0035] In Figure 3, after (11a) has been used to activate display unit (2b) by rotating it, display it on the front layer, sequentially change the message selection in the list by rotating it, and select a specific message in the list by stopping the rotation, press-type mechanism (12a) may execute function (23) of applying the selected message to the AI ​​chat service and terminate the display of display unit (2b), which is the front layer, by pressing it. Alternatively, regardless of whether (12a) is implemented or not, pressing (11a) may execute function (23) of applying the selected message to the AI ​​chat service and terminate the display of display unit (2b), which is the front layer in Figure 3.

[0036] 4 is a diagram showing an example of implementation of the input support system according to one example of this embodiment. The input device (1b) may be composed of a mechanism (11a) and a predefined message display device (13a). Alternatively, the input device (1b) may include a mechanism (12a) in addition to the mechanism (11a) and the display device (13a).

[0037] In FIG. 4, the display device (13a) may display a predefined message display section (2a) and perform a list display function (21) and a message display function (22).

[0038] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of implementation of an input support system in one example of this embodiment. In Fig. 5, the input device is composed of the above-mentioned (1b) and a keyboard input device (5). (1b) and (5) may be integrated, or may be separable and connectable to each other. Note that (5) is not included in the scope of the present invention.

[0039] 5, a message control function (2) may be executed based on the operation of the input mechanism (11a). The control function (2) may execute a list display function (21) and a message display function (22) on the display device (13a), on the display unit (2a) or (2b) of the display screen (4), or on both the display device (13a) and the screen (4).

[0040] This completes the description of one example of this embodiment. Note that other specific configurations are not limited to those of this embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the spirit of the present invention, such as executing the predefined message control function on a server resource on the cloud side, other than the input device or other information processing terminal of the present invention.
