The analysis identifies the best jobs and recommended skill sets. The inputs for this step are user data and market data, and the output is the analysis results.

[0193] Step 5:

[0194] Based on the analysis results, the server proposes a personalized career path to the user. This proposal includes the next skills to acquire and online courses to study. For example, a specific proposal may be made such as, "Your next step is to acquire advanced skills in Python. We recommend Udemy course X." The input is the analysis results, and the output is a career path proposal.

[0195] Step 6:

[0196] The terminal receives the career path suggestions sent from the server and visually displays them to the user using graphs and charts (e.g., "D3.js"). The displayed information includes details of the career path and recommended skill sets. The input is the career path suggestions, and the output is the visual display.

[0197] Step 7:

[0198] The user reviews the proposed career path and takes the next step by enrolling in a recommended online course, such as enrolling in a Python course on Udemy. This information is sent back to the server, allowing the system to track their progress.

[0199] Step 8:

[0200] The server periodically checks the user's progress (e.g., progress in online courses) and dynamically updates the career plan based on new skills and advancements acquired. The input to this step is the user's progress, and the output is the updated career plan.

[0201] Step 9:

[0202] The server sends the updated carrier plan back to the terminal, which then visually displays it to the user. This allows the user to always check the latest carrier plan and know the specific action to take next. The input is the updated carrier plan, and the output is another visual display.

[0203] In this way, the system allows users, servers, and terminals to play their respective roles and work together to support job seekers' career development.

[0389] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0390] Conventional job matching systems have limitations in suggesting career paths based on a job seeker's specific skills and work history. They also lack the ability to provide advice that takes into account the job seeker's emotions and current psychological state, making it difficult to provide personalized support. As a result, job seekers often fail to find a career path or job type that truly satisfies them.

[0391] The specification process by the specification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting a job seeker's information, work history, skills, interests, and career goals; means for collecting information on market trends, required skills, and career paths; means for analyzing the input information and collected market data and proposing optimal occupations and career paths using a machine learning algorithm; means for updating and evolving the proposed career path according to the job seeker's progress and visually displaying it; emotion recognition means for recognizing the job seeker's emotions and reflecting them in the analysis results; and means for adjusting the proposal content based on the emotion analysis results. This enables personalized career advice that takes into account not only the job seeker's skills and work history, but also their emotions and psychological state.

[0392] A "job seeker" is an individual who is seeking employment in a particular industry or occupation.

[0393] "Information" refers to data about a job seeker's profile, including, for example, work history, skills, interests, and career goals.

[0394] "Work history" refers to the jobs a job seeker has held in the past and for how long.

[0395] "Skills" refer to the specific skills, abilities, and knowledge that a job seeker possesses.

[0396] "Interests" refers to the industries or fields that a job seeker is interested in.

[0397] "Career goals" refer to the professional goals and aspirations that job seekers hope to achieve in the future.

[0398] "Market trends" refer to the current trends and demands in a particular industry or occupation.

[0399] "Collection methods" refer to the means used to gather information on market trends, required skills, and career paths from external data sources.

[0400] A "machine learning algorithm" is a system or method for analyzing large amounts of data to make predictions and classifications.

[0401] A "career path" refers to the specific path or steps that a job seeker takes to reach the job or position they aim for in the future.

[0402] "Progress" refers to the current stage of a job seeker's progress toward achieving their set career path.

[0403] "Emotion recognition means" refers to a means for analyzing the emotions and psychological state of job seekers and reflecting them in the system.

[0404] "Suggestions" refer to the career paths and recommended actions that the system presents to job seekers based on the analysis results.

[0405] "Visual display means" refers to means for displaying career paths and progress to users using visual designs such as graphs and charts.

[0406] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0407] This invention is a job matching system that optimizes a user's career path by utilizing a generative AI model. The system mainly consists of user information input, data analysis and career path generation by a server, display and interaction of the results on a terminal, and emotion recognition and career path adjustment by an emotion engine. It also includes an emotion engine for providing personalized advice based on the user's emotions.

[0408] Enter user information

[0409] Users log in to the system and enter information such as their work history, skills, interests, and career goals by filling in the required fields on a profile setting screen. This information is then sent to the server and used for analysis.

[0410] Server-based data analysis and career path generation

[0411] The server stores the received user information in a database. It periodically collects information on market trends, required skills, and career paths using external APIs and web scraping techniques. For example, it retrieves job listings using the Indeed API. The server uses machine learning algorithms (e.g., sklearn's RandomForestClassifier) ​​to analyze user data and market data and identify optimal jobs, career paths, recommended skill sets, and next actions to take.

[0412] Displaying and interacting with results on the device

[0413] The device receives the suggestions sent from the server and displays them visually to the user. Here, visualization libraries such as D3.js are used to display career paths and recommended skill sets in graphs and charts. The user can review the displayed career path and select their next step. As a specific action, a link to a recommended online course is displayed. When the user selects the next action, their progress is sent to the server, and the career plan is dynamically updated.

[0414] Emotion recognition and regulation with emotion engine

[0415] The emotion engine collects emotional data such as the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and text content, using a webcam and microphone to capture facial expressions and tone of voice. It then uses NLP technology to analyze text and recognize the user's emotions. The server collects the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine and incorporates it into the analysis results, enabling it to suggest career paths tailored to the user's current psychological state. For example, if it determines that the user is feeling stressed, it provides advice based on the emotion analysis results, such as suggesting online resources for relaxation.

[0416] Specific examples

[0417] Case 1: Career planning for new graduates

[0418] 1. A user (a recent graduate) logs in to the system and enters the major they studied at university and the industry they are interested in. For example, if they majored in information engineering and are interested in AI technology, they enter that information in their profile.

[0419] 2. The server receives the input information and collects market trends and required skills related to AI technology (e.g., Python, basic machine learning).

[0420] 3. Based on the collected data, the server suggests "data scientist" as the most suitable job and provides recommended skill sets and learning resources.

[0421] 4. The device displays the user's career path and recommended skill sets, and suggests specific next steps to take.

[0422] 5. The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to understand their current emotional state. For example, if it determines that the user is feeling stressed, it will suggest online resources to help them relax.

[0423] 6. The server adjusts its suggestions based on the emotional data and includes advice to reduce stress.

[0424] Case 2: Mid-career professionals

[0425] 1. A user (mid-career professional) logs into the system and enters their latest projects and acquired qualifications. For example, if they are currently working as a lead engineer, they enter their recent projects and new skills (e.g., project management).

[0426] 2. The server takes the user's input data and compares it with current industry trends. For example, it determines that there is a growing demand for project management.

[0427] 3. Based on the analysis results, the server suggests "Project Manager" as the next career step and provides recommended skills (e.g., leadership, project management) and related resources.

[0428] 4. The device visualizes the proposal and displays it to the user, showing a detailed career plan.

[0429] 5. The emotion engine analyzes the user's text and tone of voice to understand their current emotional state. For example, if it determines that the user is confident, it will suggest challenging projects.

[0430] 6. The server adjusts the suggestions based on the emotional data and includes advice to further develop the user's confidence.

[0431] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0432] Examples of prompts for users to enter information into the system:

[0433] "Tell me more about your work history and skills. What kind of work have you done so far?"

[0434] "What are your future career goals? What type of job or industry would you like to work in?"

[0435] "Let me know if you plan on gaining any new skills or qualifications."

[0436] "Please tell me more about your recent projects and accomplishments."

[0437] "Tell me your current emotional state. Are you stressed or confident?"

[0438] As described above, this invention provides personalized career advice by taking into account not only the user's skills and work history, but also their emotions and psychological state. Based on a generative AI model, and in conjunction with an emotion engine, it enables more accurate job matching and career path suggestions.

[0439] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0440] Step 1:

[0441] A user logs in to the system by entering their username and password on the login screen and clicking the "Login" button. The input data (username and password) is sent to the server, and user authentication is performed. If authentication is successful, the server sends the user information to the client terminal, and the user can proceed to the next screen.

[0442] Step 2:

[0443] The user enters information such as work history, skills, interests, and career goals in the profile setting screen. For example, the user enters past jobs in the "Work History" input field and technical skills in the "Skills" input field. After the data is entered and the "Submit" button is pressed, the input data is sent to the server. The server receives it and stores it in the database. A new record is created in the user profile table based on the input data.

[0444] Step 3:

[0445] The server collects information on market trends, required skills, and career paths from external data sources based on user information. For example, it calls an external API to obtain job information and stores it in an internal database. The collected data is stored in a market data table.

[0446] Step 4:

[0447] The server combines user data with collected market data and inputs it into a machine learning model. Here, data preprocessing is performed, for example, using Python's pandas library. The formatted data is then fed into a machine learning algorithm (for example, sklearn's RandomForestClassifier) ​​for analysis. The analysis results identify the most suitable job type or career path, recommended skill sets, and next actions to take. The analysis results are output in JSON format and stored in the server's temporary data storage.

[0448] Step 5:

[0449] The server sends the analysis results to the client device. The sent data is in JSON format, and the device receives it. After receiving the data, the device uses D3.js or other visualization libraries to visually display career paths and recommended skill sets. The user checks the displayed career path and clicks the "Select next step" button. This action sends the selected data to the server.

[0450] Step 6:

[0451] The server updates the user's progress based on the selected next step. The progress data is stored in a database, dynamically updating the user's career plan. The updated data is then sent back to the device, which visually displays the updates.

[0452] Step 7:

[0453] The emotion engine uses a webcam and microphone to collect the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and text content. The collected data is analyzed in real time. For example, OpenCV is used for facial analysis, and NLP techniques are used to recognize emotions in voice data.

[0454] Step 8:

[0455] The server collects the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine and reflects it in the analysis results. Based on the emotional data, career path suggestions are made according to the user's current psychological state. For example, if the user is feeling high stress, online resources to help them relax are suggested, and specific advice based on their progress is also included. The suggestions are again output in JSON format and sent to the device.

[0456] (Application example 2)

[0457] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0458] Current job matching systems typically make suggestions based on a job seeker's work history and skills, but the accuracy of these suggestions is limited because they cannot adjust the system to take into account the job seeker's emotions and stress level. Furthermore, there is no system that can analyze passenger emotions in real time in autonomous vehicles and provide optimal routes and entertainment options. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can suggest career paths that take into account the job seeker's emotional state and provide optimal suggestions based on passenger emotions.

[0459] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting a job seeker's information, work history, skills, interests, and career goals; means for collecting information on market trends, required skills, and career paths; means for analyzing the input information and collected market data and using a machine learning algorithm to propose optimal jobs and career paths; means for updating and evolving the proposed career paths in accordance with the job seeker's progress and visually displaying them; means for analyzing the job seeker's emotions using an emotion recognition engine and adjusting the career path based on the analysis results; and means for linking with the vehicle's infotainment system to propose optimal routes and entertainment options based on the passenger's emotional state. This makes it possible to provide career advice tailored to the job seeker's emotional state, and to make optimal suggestions in accordance with the passenger's emotions in self-driving vehicles.

For example, they might enter "3 years as a software engineer" as their work history and "Python, data analysis" as their skills. This information is sent to the server and stored in a database.

[0690] Step 3:

[0691] The server periodically uses external APIs and web scraping technologies (e.g., "LinkedIn API") to collect data on market trends and desired skills. The collected data is stored in a database for later analysis. The input is the external data source, and the output is updated market data.

[0692] Step 4:

[0693] The server combines the received user data and market data and performs data analysis using machine learning algorithms (e.g., "scikit-learn"). The analysis identifies the best jobs and recommended skill sets. The inputs for this step are user data and market data, and the output is the analysis results.

[0694] Step 5:

[0695] Based on the analysis results, the server proposes a personalized career path to the user. This proposal includes the next skills to acquire and online courses to study. For example, a specific proposal may be made such as, "Your next step is to acquire advanced skills in Python. We recommend Udemy course X." The input is the analysis results, and the output is a career path proposal.

[0696] Step 6:

[0697] The terminal receives the career path suggestions sent from the server and visually displays them to the user using graphs and charts (e.g., "D3.js"). The displayed information includes details of the career path and recommended skill sets. The input is the career path suggestions, and the output is the visual display.

[0698] Step 7:

[0699] The user reviews the proposed career path and takes the next step by enrolling in a recommended online course, such as enrolling in a Python course on Udemy. This information is sent back to the server, allowing the system to track their progress.

[0889] Example 2

[0890] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0891] Conventional job matching systems have limitations in suggesting career paths based on a job seeker's specific skills and work history. They also lack the ability to provide advice that takes into account the job seeker's emotions and current psychological state, making it difficult to provide personalized support. As a result, job seekers often fail to find a career path or job type that truly satisfies them.

[0892] The specification process by the specification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting a job seeker's information, work history, skills, interests, and career goals; means for collecting information on market trends, required skills, and career paths; means for analyzing the input information and collected market data and proposing optimal occupations and career paths using a machine learning algorithm; means for updating and evolving the proposed career path according to the job seeker's progress and visually displaying it; emotion recognition means for recognizing the job seeker's emotions and reflecting them in the analysis results; and means for adjusting the proposal content based on the emotion analysis results. This enables personalized career advice that takes into account not only the job seeker's skills and work history, but also their emotions and psychological state.

[0893] A "job seeker" is an individual who is seeking employment in a particular industry or occupation.

[0894] "Information" refers to data about a job seeker's profile, including, for example, work history, skills, interests, and career goals.

[0895] "Work history" refers to the jobs a job seeker has held in the past and for how long.

[0897] "Interests" refers to the industries or fields that a job seeker is interested in.

[0898] "Career goals" refer to the professional goals and aspirations that job seekers hope to achieve in the future.

[0899] "Market trends" refer to the current trends and demands in a particular industry or occupation.

[0900] "Collection methods" refer to the means used to gather information on market trends, required skills, and career paths from external data sources.

[0901] A "machine learning algorithm" is a system or method for analyzing large amounts of data to make predictions and classifications.

[0902] A "career path" refers to the specific path or steps that a job seeker takes to reach the job or position they aim for in the future.

[0903] "Progress" refers to the current stage of a job seeker's progress toward achieving their set career path.

[0904] "Emotion recognition means" refers to a means for analyzing the emotions and psychological state of job seekers and reflecting them in the system.

[0905] "Suggestions" refer to the career paths and recommended actions that the system presents to job seekers based on the analysis results.

[0906] "Visual display means" refers to means for displaying career paths and progress to users using visual designs such as graphs and charts.

[0907] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0908] This invention is a job matching system that optimizes a user's career path by utilizing a generative AI model. The system mainly consists of user information input, data analysis and career path generation by a server, display and interaction of the results on a terminal, and emotion recognition and career path adjustment by an emotion engine. It also includes an emotion engine for providing personalized advice based on the user's emotions.

[0909] Enter user information

[0910] Users log in to the system and enter information such as their work history, skills, interests, and career goals by filling in the required fields on a profile setting screen. This information is then sent to the server and used for analysis.

[0911] Server-based data analysis and career path generation

[0912] The server stores the received user information in a database. It periodically collects information on market trends, required skills, and career paths using external APIs and web scraping techniques. For example, it retrieves job listings using the Indeed API. The server uses machine learning algorithms (e.g., sklearn's RandomForestClassifier) ​​to analyze user data and market data and identify optimal jobs, career paths, recommended skill sets, and next actions to take.

[0913] Displaying and interacting with results on the device

[0914] The device receives the suggestions sent from the server and displays them visually to the user. Here, visualization libraries such as D3.js are used to display career paths and recommended skill sets in graphs and charts. The user can review the displayed career path and select their next step. As a specific action, a link to a recommended online course is displayed. When the user selects the next action, their progress is sent to the server, and the career plan is dynamically updated.

[0915] Emotion recognition and regulation with emotion engine

[0916] The emotion engine collects emotional data such as the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and text content, using a webcam and microphone to capture facial expressions and tone of voice. It then uses NLP technology to analyze text and recognize the user's emotions. The server collects the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine and incorporates it into the analysis results, enabling it to suggest career paths tailored to the user's current psychological state. For example, if it determines that the user is feeling stressed, it provides advice based on the emotion analysis results, such as suggesting online resources for relaxation.

[0917] Specific examples

[0918] Case 1: Career planning for new graduates

[0919] 1. A user (a recent graduate) logs in to the system and enters the major they studied at university and the industry they are interested in. For example, if they majored in information engineering and are interested in AI technology, they enter that information in their profile.

[0920] 2. The server receives the input information and collects market trends and required skills related to AI technology (e.g., Python, basic machine learning).

[0921] 3. Based on the collected data, the server suggests "data scientist" as the most suitable job and provides recommended skill sets and learning resources.

[0922] 4. The device displays the user's career path and recommended skill sets, and suggests specific next steps to take.

[0923] 5. The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to understand their current emotional state. For example, if it determines that the user is feeling stressed, it will suggest online resources to help them relax.

[0940] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0941] Step 1:

[0942] A user logs in to the system by entering their username and password on the login screen and clicking the "Login" button. The input data (username and password) is sent to the server, and user authentication is performed. If authentication is successful, the server sends the user information to the client terminal, and the user can proceed to the next screen.

[0943] Step 2:

[0944] The user enters information such as work history, skills, interests, and career goals in the profile setting screen. For example, the user enters past jobs in the "Work History" input field and technical skills in the "Skills" input field. After the data is entered and the "Submit" button is pressed, the input data is sent to the server. The server receives it and stores it in the database. A new record is created in the user profile table based on the input data.

[0945] Step 3:

[0946] The server collects information on market trends, required skills, and career paths from external data sources based on user information. For example, it calls an external API to obtain job information and stores it in an internal database. The collected data is stored in a market data table.

[0947] Step 4:

[0948] The server combines user data with collected market data and inputs it into a machine learning model. Here, data preprocessing is performed, for example, using Python's pandas library. The formatted data is then fed into a machine learning algorithm (for example, sklearn's RandomForestClassifier) ​​for analysis. The analysis results identify the most suitable job type or career path, recommended skill sets, and next actions to take. The analysis results are output in JSON format and stored in the server's temporary data storage.

[0949] Step 5:

[0950] The server sends the analysis results to the client device. The sent data is in JSON format, and the device receives it. After receiving the data, the device uses D3.js or other visualization libraries to visually display career paths and recommended skill sets. The user checks the displayed career path and clicks the "Select next step" button. This action sends the selected data to the server.

[0951] Step 6:

[0952] The server updates the user's progress based on the selected next step. The progress data is stored in a database, dynamically updating the user's career plan. The updated data is then sent back to the device, which visually displays the updates.

[0953] Step 7:

[0954] The emotion engine uses a webcam and microphone to collect the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and text content. The collected data is analyzed in real time. For example, OpenCV is used for facial analysis, and NLP techniques are used to recognize emotions in voice data.

[0955] Step 8:

[0956] The server collects the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine and reflects it in the analysis results. Based on the emotional data, career path suggestions are made according to the user's current psychological state. For example, if the user is feeling high stress, online resources to help them relax are suggested, and specific advice based on their progress is also included. The suggestions are again output in JSON format and sent to the device.

This system has multiple functions, including job seeker information entry, market trend collection, data analysis, career path generation, progress tracking and updates, and visual information display.

[1151] overview

[1152] This system has three roles:

[1153] 1. Enter user information

[1154] 2. Data analysis and career path generation by the server

[1155] 3. Displaying and interacting with results on the device

[1156] Enter user information

[1157] Users log in to the system and enter information such as their work history, skills, interests, and career goals on the profile setting screen. For example, a recent graduate might enter the major they studied at university and the industry they are interested in (e.g., information engineering, AI technology). This input data is stored in a database and used for later analysis.

[1158] Server-based data analysis and career path generation

[1159] The server performs the following functions:

[1160] 1. Data collection: The server periodically collects information on market trends, required skills, and career paths using external APIs and web scraping technology. For example, it uses the LinkedIn API to collect market trend data.

[1161] 2. Data analysis: The server uses machine learning algorithms such as "scikit-learn" to analyze job seeker information and collected market data, comparing the user's skill set with the skills in demand in the market and identifying the most suitable job and recommended skill set.

[1162] 3. Career path generation: Based on the analysis results, the server generates personalized career path suggestions for job seekers, such as recommending advanced Python skills to become a "data scientist" and offering specific Udemy courses.

[1163] Displaying and interacting with results on the device

[1164] The terminal is responsible for:

[1165] 1. Displaying the results: Receive the career path suggestions sent from the server and display them visually to the user. For example, use "D3.js" or "Chart.js" to display the career paths and recommended skill sets in graphs and charts.

[1166] 2. Interaction: The user reviews the proposed career path and selects their next step. If the user enrolls in a recommended online course, the server records that information and tracks their progress. The system dynamically updates the career plan and makes new suggestions based on their progress.

[1167] Specific examples

[1168] Case 1: Career planning for new graduates

[1169] 1. A user (a recent graduate student) logs in to the system and enters in their profile that they are majoring in information engineering and interested in AI technology.

[1170] 2. The server receives this information and collects market trends and required skills related to AI technology (e.g., Python, basic machine learning).

[1171] 3. The server uses "scikit-learn" to analyze user data and market data and identify "Python" and "basic machine learning" as important skills.

[1172] 4. The server suggests career paths to becoming a "data scientist," recommending, for example, "take a Udemy course to acquire advanced Python skills."

[1173] 5. The device displays suggested career paths and skill sets to the user, and suggests specific next steps to take.

[1174] 6. The user follows the suggestion and enrolls in a Python course on Udemy.

[1175] 7. The server tracks the user's progress through the online course and suggests next steps when a new skill is mastered.

[1176] Case 2: Mid-career professionals

[1177] 1. A user (mid-career professional) logs into the system, currently works as a lead engineer, and enters recent projects and new skills (e.g., project management) into their profile.

[1178] 2. The server takes the user's input data and compares it with the latest industry trends. For example, it determines that there is a growing demand for project management.

[1179] 3. Based on the analysis results, the server suggests "Project Manager" as the next career step and provides recommended skills (e.g., leadership, project management) and related resources.

[1180] 4. The device visualizes the proposal and displays it to the user, showing a detailed career plan.

[1181] 5. The user reviews the suggestions and chooses to take the recommended online leadership course as their next step.

[1182] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1183] "Create a career path suitable for new graduates majoring in information engineering and interested in AI technology."

[1184] "Please suggest the next career step for a user currently working as a lead engineer."

[1185] In this way, the system of the present invention uses a generative AI model to provide job seekers with customized career advice and dynamically update their career plans according to their progress, thereby supporting efficient and effective career development.

[1186] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1187] Step 1:

[1188] A user accesses the system and logs in by entering their login information, which is an email address and a password, which authenticates the user and allows them to access their user profile.

[1189] Step 2:

[1190] Users enter information such as work history, skills, interests, and career goals on the profile setting screen. For example, they might enter "3 years as a software engineer" as their work history and "Python, data analysis" as their skills. This information is sent to the server and stored in a database.

[1191] Step 3:

[1192] The server periodically uses external APIs and web scraping technologies (e.g., "LinkedIn API") to collect data on market trends and desired skills. The collected data is stored in a database for later analysis. The input is the external data source, and the output is updated market data.

[1193] Step 4:

[1194] The server combines the received user data and market data and performs data analysis using machine learning algorithms (e.g., "scikit-learn"). The analysis identifies the best jobs and recommended skill sets. The inputs for this step are user data and market data, and the output is the analysis results.

[1195] Step 5:

[1196] Based on the analysis results, the server proposes a personalized career path to the user. This proposal includes the next skills to acquire and online courses to study. For example, a specific proposal may be made such as, "Your next step is to acquire advanced skills in Python. We recommend Udemy course X." The input is the analysis results, and the output is a career path proposal.

[1197] Step 6:

[1198] The terminal receives the career path suggestions sent from the server and visually displays them to the user using graphs and charts (e.g., "D3.js"). The displayed information includes details of the career path and recommended skill sets. The input is the career path suggestions, and the output is the visual display.

[1199] Step 7:

[1200] The user reviews the proposed career path and takes the next step by enrolling in a recommended online course, such as enrolling in a Python course on Udemy. This information is sent back to the server, allowing the system to track their progress.

[1201] Step 8:

[1202] The server periodically checks the user's progress (e.g., progress in online courses) and dynamically updates the career plan based on new skills and advancements acquired. The input to this step is the user's progress, and the output is the updated career plan.

[1203] Step 9:

[1204] The server sends the updated carrier plan back to the terminal, which then visually displays it to the user. This allows the user to always check the latest carrier plan and know the specific action to take next. The input is the updated carrier plan, and the output is another visual display.

[1205] In this way, the system allows users, servers, and terminals to play their respective roles and work together to support job seekers' career development.

[1408] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[1409] This invention is a job matching system that optimizes a user's career path by utilizing a generative AI model. The system mainly consists of user information input, data analysis and career path generation by a server, display and interaction of the results on a terminal, and emotion recognition and career path adjustment by an emotion engine. It also includes an emotion engine for providing personalized advice based on the user's emotions.

[1410] Enter user information

[1411] Users log in to the system and enter information such as their work history, skills, interests, and career goals by filling in the required fields on a profile setting screen. This information is then sent to the server and used for analysis.

[1412] Server-based data analysis and career path generation

[1413] The server stores the received user information in a database. It periodically collects information on market trends, required skills, and career paths using external APIs and web scraping techniques. For example, it retrieves job listings using the Indeed API. The server uses machine learning algorithms (e.g., sklearn's RandomForestClassifier) ​​to analyze user data and market data and identify optimal jobs, career paths, recommended skill sets, and next actions to take.

[1414] Displaying and interacting with results on the device

[1415] The device receives the suggestions sent from the server and displays them visually to the user. Here, visualization libraries such as D3.js are used to display career paths and recommended skill sets in graphs and charts. The user can review the displayed career path and select their next step. As a specific action, a link to a recommended online course is displayed. When the user selects the next action, their progress is sent to the server, and the career plan is dynamically updated.

[1416] Emotion recognition and regulation with emotion engine

[1417] The emotion engine collects emotional data such as the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and text content, using a webcam and microphone to capture facial expressions and tone of voice. It then uses NLP technology to analyze text and recognize the user's emotions. The server collects the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine and incorporates it into the analysis results, enabling it to suggest career paths tailored to the user's current psychological state. For example, if it determines that the user is feeling stressed, it provides advice based on the emotion analysis results, such as suggesting online resources for relaxation.

[1418] Specific examples

[1419] Case 1: Career planning for new graduates

[1420] 1. A user (a recent graduate) logs in to the system and enters the major they studied at university and the industry they are interested in. For example, if they majored in information engineering and are interested in AI technology, they enter that information in their profile.

[1421] 2. The server receives the input information and collects market trends and required skills related to AI technology (e.g., Python, basic machine learning).

[1422] 3. Based on the collected data, the server suggests "data scientist" as the most suitable job and provides recommended skill sets and learning resources.

[1423] 4. The device displays the user's career path and recommended skill sets, and suggests specific next steps to take.

[1424] 5. The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to understand their current emotional state. For example, if it determines that the user is feeling stressed, it will suggest online resources to help them relax.

[1425] 6. The server adjusts its suggestions based on the emotional data and includes advice to reduce stress.

[1426] Case 2: Mid-career professionals

[1427] 1. A user (mid-career professional) logs into the system and enters their latest projects and acquired qualifications. For example, if they are currently working as a lead engineer, they enter their recent projects and new skills (e.g., project management).

[1428] 2. The server takes the user's input data and compares it with current industry trends. For example, it determines that there is a growing demand for project management.

[1429] 3. Based on the analysis results, the server suggests "Project Manager" as the next career step and provides recommended skills (e.g., leadership, project management) and related resources.

[1430] 4. The device visualizes the proposal and displays it to the user, showing a detailed career plan.

[1431] 5. The emotion engine analyzes the user's text and tone of voice to understand their current emotional state. For example, if it determines that the user is confident, it will suggest challenging projects.

[1432] 6. The server adjusts the suggestions based on the emotional data and includes advice to further develop the user's confidence.

[1433] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1434] Examples of prompts for users to enter information into the system:

[1435] "Tell me more about your work history and skills. What kind of work have you done so far?"

[1436] "What are your future career goals? What type of job or industry would you like to work in?"

[1437] "Let me know if you plan on gaining any new skills or qualifications."

[1438] "Please tell me more about your recent projects and accomplishments."

[1439] "Tell me your current emotional state. Are you stressed or confident?"

[1440] As described above, this invention provides personalized career advice by taking into account not only the user's skills and work history, but also their emotions and psychological state. Based on a generative AI model, and in conjunction with an emotion engine, it enables more accurate job matching and career path suggestions.

[1441] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1442] Step 1:

[1443] A user logs in to the system by entering their username and password on the login screen and clicking the "Login" button. The input data (username and password) is sent to the server, and user authentication is performed. If authentication is successful, the server sends the user information to the client terminal, and the user can proceed to the next screen.

[1444] Step 2:

[1445] The user enters information such as work history, skills, interests, and career goals in the profile setting screen. For example, the user enters past jobs in the "Work History" input field and technical skills in the "Skills" input field. After the data is entered and the "Submit" button is pressed, the input data is sent to the server. The server receives it and stores it in the database. A new record is created in the user profile table based on the input data.

[1446] Step 3:

[1447] The server collects information on market trends, required skills, and career paths from external data sources based on user information. For example, it calls an external API to obtain job information and stores it in an internal database. The collected data is stored in a market data table.

[1448] Step 4:

[1449] The server combines user data with collected market data and inputs it into a machine learning model. Here, data preprocessing is performed, for example, using Python's pandas library. The formatted data is then fed into a machine learning algorithm (for example, sklearn's RandomForestClassifier) ​​for analysis. The analysis results identify the most suitable job type or career path, recommended skill sets, and next actions to take. The analysis results are output in JSON format and stored in the server's temporary data storage.

[1450] Step 5:

[1451] The server sends the analysis results to the client device. The sent data is in JSON format, and the device receives it. After receiving the data, the device uses D3.js or other visualization libraries to visually display career paths and recommended skill sets. The user checks the displayed career path and clicks the "Select next step" button. This action sends the selected data to the server.

[1452] Step 6:

[1453] The server updates the user's progress based on the selected next step. The progress data is stored in a database, dynamically updating the user's career plan. The updated data is then sent back to the device, which visually displays the updates.

[1454] Step 7:

[1455] The emotion engine uses a webcam and microphone to collect the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and text content. The collected data is analyzed in real time. For example, OpenCV is used for facial analysis, and NLP techniques are used to recognize emotions in voice data.

[1456] Step 8:

[1457] The server collects the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine and reflects it in the analysis results. Based on the emotional data, career path suggestions are made according to the user's current psychological state. For example, if the user is feeling high stress, online resources to help them relax are suggested, and specific advice based on their progress is also included. The suggestions are again output in JSON format and sent to the device.

[1892] Example 2

[1893] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1894] Conventional job matching systems have limitations in suggesting career paths based on a job seeker's specific skills and work history. They also lack the ability to provide advice that takes into account the job seeker's emotions and current psychological state, making it difficult to provide personalized support. As a result, job seekers often fail to find a career path or job type that truly satisfies them.

[1895] The specification process by the specification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: means for inputting a job seeker's information, work history, skills, interests, and career goals; means for collecting information on market trends, required skills, and career paths; means for analyzing the input information and collected market data and proposing optimal occupations and career paths using a machine learning algorithm; means for updating and evolving the proposed career path according to the job seeker's progress and visually displaying it; emotion recognition means for recognizing the job seeker's emotions and reflecting them in the analysis results; and means for adjusting the proposal content based on the emotion analysis results. This enables personalized career advice that takes into account not only the job seeker's skills and work history, but also their emotions and psychological state.

[1896] A "job seeker" is an individual who is seeking employment in a particular industry or occupation.

[1897] "Information" refers to data about a job seeker's profile, including, for example, work history, skills, interests, and career goals.

[1898] "Work history" refers to the jobs a job seeker has held in the past and for how long.

[1899] "Skills" refer to the specific skills, abilities, and knowledge that a job seeker possesses.

[1900] "Interests" refers to the industries or fields that a job seeker is interested in.

[1901] "Career goals" refer to the professional goals and aspirations that job seekers hope to achieve in the future.

[1902] "Market trends" refer to the current trends and demands in a particular industry or occupation.

[1903] "Collection methods" refer to the means used to gather information on market trends, required skills, and career paths from external data sources.

[1904] A "machine learning algorithm" is a system or method for analyzing large amounts of data to make predictions and classifications.

[1905] A "career path" refers to the specific path or steps that a job seeker takes to reach the job or position they aim for in the future.

[1906] "Progress" refers to the current stage of a job seeker's progress toward achieving their set career path.

[1907] "Emotion recognition means" refers to a means for analyzing the emotions and psychological state of job seekers and reflecting them in the system.

[1908] "Suggestions" refer to the career paths and recommended actions that the system presents to job seekers based on the analysis results.

[1909] "Visual display means" refers to means for displaying career paths and progress to users using visual designs such as graphs and charts.

[1910] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[1911] This invention is a job matching system that optimizes a user's career path by utilizing a generative AI model. The system mainly consists of user information input, data analysis and career path generation by a server, display and interaction of the results on a terminal, and emotion recognition and career path adjustment by an emotion engine. It also includes an emotion engine for providing personalized advice based on the user's emotions.

[1912] Enter user information

[1913] Users log in to the system and enter information such as their work history, skills, interests, and career goals by filling in the required fields on a profile setting screen. This information is then sent to the server and used for analysis.

[1914] Server-based data analysis and career path generation

[1915] The server stores the received user information in a database. It periodically collects information on market trends, required skills, and career paths using external APIs and web scraping techniques. For example, it retrieves job listings using the Indeed API. The server uses machine learning algorithms (e.g., sklearn's RandomForestClassifier) ​​to analyze user data and market data and identify optimal jobs, career paths, recommended skill sets, and next actions to take.

[1916] Displaying and interacting with results on the device

[1917] The device receives the suggestions sent from the server and displays them visually to the user. Here, visualization libraries such as D3.js are used to display career paths and recommended skill sets in graphs and charts. The user can review the displayed career path and select their next step. As a specific action, a link to a recommended online course is displayed. When the user selects the next action, their progress is sent to the server, and the career plan is dynamically updated.

[1918] Emotion recognition and regulation with emotion engine

[1919] The emotion engine collects emotional data such as the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and text content, using a webcam and microphone to capture facial expressions and tone of voice. It then uses NLP technology to analyze text and recognize the user's emotions. The server collects the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine and incorporates it into the analysis results, enabling it to suggest career paths tailored to the user's current psychological state. For example, if it determines that the user is feeling stressed, it provides advice based on the emotion analysis results, such as suggesting online resources for relaxation.

[1920] Specific examples

[1921] Case 1: Career planning for new graduates

[1922] 1. A user (a recent graduate) logs in to the system and enters the major they studied at university and the industry they are interested in. For example, if they majored in information engineering and are interested in AI technology, they enter that information in their profile.

[1923] 2. The server receives the input information and collects market trends and required skills related to AI technology (e.g., Python, basic machine learning).

[1924] 3. Based on the collected data, the server suggests "data scientist" as the most suitable job and provides recommended skill sets and learning resources.

[1925] 4. The device displays the user's career path and recommended skill sets, and suggests specific next steps to take.

[1926] 5. The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to understand their current emotional state. For example, if it determines that the user is feeling stressed, it will suggest online resources to help them relax.

[1927] 6. The server adjusts its suggestions based on the emotional data and includes advice to reduce stress.

[1928] Case 2: Mid-career professionals

[1929] 1. A user (mid-career professional) logs into the system and enters their latest projects and acquired qualifications. For example, if they are currently working as a lead engineer, they enter their recent projects and new skills (e.g., project management).

[1930] 2. The server takes the user's input data and compares it with current industry trends. For example, it determines that there is a growing demand for project management.

[1931] 3. Based on the analysis results, the server suggests "Project Manager" as the next career step and provides recommended skills (e.g., leadership, project management) and related resources.

[1932] 4. The device visualizes the proposal and displays it to the user, showing a detailed career plan.

[1933] 5. The emotion engine analyzes the user's text and tone of voice to understand their current emotional state. For example, if it determines that the user is confident, it will suggest challenging projects.

[1934] 6. The server adjusts the suggestions based on the emotional data and includes advice to further develop the user's confidence.

[1935] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1936] Examples of prompts for users to enter information into the system:

[1937] "Tell me more about your work history and skills. What kind of work have you done so far?"

[1938] "What are your future career goals? What type of job or industry would you like to work in?"

[1939] "Let me know if you plan on gaining any new skills or qualifications."

[1940] "Please tell me more about your recent projects and accomplishments."

[1941] "Tell me your current emotional state. Are you stressed or confident?"

[1942] As described above, this invention provides personalized career advice by taking into account not only the user's skills and work history, but also their emotions and psychological state. Based on a generative AI model, and in conjunction with an emotion engine, it enables more accurate job matching and career path suggestions.

[1943] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1944] Step 1:

[1945] A user logs in to the system by entering their username and password on the login screen and clicking the "Login" button. The input data (username and password) is sent to the server, and user authentication is performed. If authentication is successful, the server sends the user information to the client terminal, and the user can proceed to the next screen.

[1946] Step 2:

[1947] The user enters information such as work history, skills, interests, and career goals in the profile setting screen. For example, the user enters past jobs in the "Work History" input field and technical skills in the "Skills" input field. After the data is entered and the "Submit" button is pressed, the input data is sent to the server. The server receives it and stores it in the database. A new record is created in the user profile table based on the input data.

[1948] Step 3:

[1949] The server collects information on market trends, required skills, and career paths from external data sources based on user information. For example, it calls an external API to obtain job information and stores it in an internal database. The collected data is stored in a market data table.

[1950] Step 4:

[1951] The server combines user data with collected market data and inputs it into a machine learning model. Here, data preprocessing is performed, for example, using Python's pandas library. The formatted data is then fed into a machine learning algorithm (for example, sklearn's RandomForestClassifier) ​​for analysis. The analysis results identify the most suitable job type or career path, recommended skill sets, and next actions to take. The analysis results are output in JSON format and stored in the server's temporary data storage.

[1952] Step 5:

[1953] The server sends the analysis results to the client device. The sent data is in JSON format, and the device receives it. After receiving the data, the device uses D3.js or other visualization libraries to visually display career paths and recommended skill sets. The user checks the displayed career path and clicks the "Select next step" button. This action sends the selected data to the server.

[1954] Step 6:

[1955] The server updates the user's progress based on the selected next step. The progress data is stored in a database, dynamically updating the user's career plan. The updated data is then sent back to the device, which visually displays the updates.

[1956] Step 7:

[1957] The emotion engine uses a webcam and microphone to collect the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and text content. The collected data is analyzed in real time. For example, OpenCV is used for facial analysis, and NLP techniques are used to recognize emotions in voice data.

[1958] Step 8:

[1959] The server collects the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine and reflects it in the analysis results. Based on the emotional data, career path suggestions are made according to the user's current psychological state. For example, if the user is feeling high stress, online resources to help them relax are suggested, and specific advice based on their progress is also included. The suggestions are again output in JSON format and sent to the device.

[1960] (Application example 2)

[1961] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1962] Current job matching systems typically make suggestions based on a job seeker's work history and skills, but the accuracy of these suggestions is limited because they cannot adjust the system to take into account the job seeker's emotions and stress level. Furthermore, there is no system that can analyze passenger emotions in real time in autonomous vehicles and provide optimal routes and entertainment options. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can suggest career paths that take into account the job seeker's emotional state and provide optimal suggestions based on passenger emotions.

[1963] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means.
