[0028] (Example 1) In the household management system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a user inputs monthly household accounts, and a generation AI creates a report at the end of the month and provides advice on saving money for each household. This allows the household management system to organize the user's household accounts and reduce wasteful spending.
[0029] A household management system according to an embodiment includes a household account book input unit, a report generation unit, and an advice providing unit. The household account book input unit inputs a user's household account book data. For example, the user inputs their monthly income and expenses into the household account book. The report generation unit generates a month-end report based on the household account book data input by the household account book input unit. For example, a generation AI analyzes the input household account book data and creates a month-end report. The advice providing unit provides savings advice based on the month-end report generated by the report generation unit. For example, the generation AI provides savings advice for each household based on the month-end report. As a result, the household management system according to an embodiment generates a month-end report based on the user's household account book data and provides savings advice, enabling the user to organize their household finances and reduce unnecessary spending.
[0030] In the household ledger input unit, the generation AI automatically classifies expenditure items based on data entered by the user and can request confirmation from the user. For example, in the household ledger input unit, the generation AI analyzes expenditure data entered by the user and automatically classifies them into categories such as food, utilities, and entertainment. The classification results are presented to the user and confirmation is requested, thereby maintaining data accuracy. In addition, in the household ledger input unit, the generation AI analyzes expenditure data entered by the user in real time and classifies it into the appropriate category. For example, supermarket purchases are classified as food expenses and movie tickets as entertainment expenses, and confirmation is requested from the user. In addition, in the household ledger input unit, the generation AI automatically analyzes expenditure data entered by the user and classifies it by category. The classification results are notified to the user and corrections are requested as necessary, thereby maintaining data consistency. In this way, the accuracy of the data can be maintained by automatically classifying data entered by the user and requesting confirmation.
[0031] The household account book input unit allows users to simply upload a photo of a receipt, and the generation AI automatically extracts the data and reflects it in the household account book. For example, in the household account book input unit, a user takes a photo of a receipt and uploads it to the app. The generation AI performs image analysis, automatically extracts expenditure items and amounts, and reflects them in the household account book. In addition, when a user uploads a photo of a receipt, the generation AI extracts text information using OCR technology and automatically enters the expenditure items and amounts in the household account book. In addition, when a user uploads a photo of a receipt, the generation AI performs image analysis, automatically extracts expenditure data, and reflects it in the household account book. This allows data to be extracted and reflected in the household account book simply by uploading a photo of the receipt, eliminating the need for manual input.
[0032] The household account book input unit uses voice recognition technology to allow the user to input data simply by speaking. For example, when the user speaks about expenditure details, the voice recognition technology converts the content into text and automatically enters it into the household account book. For example, input is completed by simply speaking, "I spent 5,000 yen at the supermarket." The household account book input unit also uses voice recognition technology to build a system that allows the user to input expenditure data simply by speaking. For example, if the user speaks, "I spent 3,000 yen on gas," it is automatically entered into the household account book as transportation expenses. Furthermore, when the user enters expenditure details by voice, the voice recognition technology analyzes the content, classifies it into the appropriate category, and reflects it in the household account book. This allows the user to input data simply by speaking, eliminating the hassle of inputting data.
[0033] The household account book input unit can link the household account book data with other household management apps to achieve centralized data management. The household account book input unit, for example, links the household account book data with other household management apps to achieve centralized data management. For example, it links with a bank app or a credit card app to automatically import expenditure data. The household account book input unit also links data with other household management apps to ensure centralized data management even when a user uses multiple apps. For example, it links with a household account book app to automatically synchronize expenditure data. The household account book input unit also links the household account book data with other household management apps to enable a user to manage all expenditure data on a single platform. In this way, by linking the household account book data with other household management apps and achieving centralized data management, data is consistently managed even when a user uses multiple apps.
[0034] The report generation unit can predict this month's spending trends based on past data and include the prediction results in the report. In the report generation unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes past household ledger data and predicts this month's spending trends. The prediction results are included in the end-of-month report and presented to the user. In addition, the report generation unit predicts this month's spending trends based on past spending data and reflects the prediction results in the report. For example, the report generation unit predicts this month's food expenses and utility expenses from past data. In addition, the report generation unit predicts this month's spending trends based on past household ledger data and predicts this month's spending trends. By including the prediction results in the end-of-month report, the user can see into future spending. In this way, by predicting this month's spending trends based on past data and including the prediction results in the report, the user can see into future spending.
[0035] The report generation unit can add detailed analysis results for each expense item to the report, allowing the user to understand specific spending patterns. For example, the report generation unit adds detailed analysis results for each expense item to an end-of-month report, allowing the user to understand specific spending patterns. For example, the report generation unit shows a breakdown of expenses for each item, such as food expenses, utility expenses, and entertainment expenses. The report generation unit also has the generation AI perform a detailed analysis for each expense item and reflect the results in the end-of-month report. For example, the breakdown of food expenses shows expenses for eating out and expenses for ingredients. The report generation unit also adds detailed analysis results for each expense item to the end-of-month report, allowing the user to understand specific spending patterns. For example, the breakdown of utility expenses shows electricity, gas, and water. In this way, by adding detailed analysis results for each expense item to the report, the user can understand specific spending patterns.
[0036] The report generation unit can display reports in different formats (e.g., graphs and charts) to make it easier for the user to understand visually. For example, the report generation unit displays a month-end report in graph or chart format to make it easier for the user to understand visually. For example, the expenditure percentage is shown in a pie chart. The report generation unit also displays reports in different formats to make it easier for the user to understand visually. For example, the monthly expenditure trend is shown in a line graph. The report generation unit also displays a month-end report in graph or chart format to make it easier for the user to understand visually. For example, a comparison between expenditure items is shown in a bar graph. In this way, by displaying the report in different formats, it is easier for the user to understand visually.
[0037] The report generation unit may add a function that allows reports to be shared with other family members, thereby facilitating spending management across the entire family. The report generation unit may add a function that allows, for example, end-of-month reports to be shared with other family members, thereby facilitating spending management across the entire family. For example, reports may be shared via email or social media. The report generation unit may also add a report sharing function that allows family members to add comments to reports. The report generation unit may also add a function that allows end-of-month reports to be shared with other family members, thereby facilitating spending management across the entire family.

[0056] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0057] Step 1: The household account book input unit inputs the user's household account book data. For example, the user inputs monthly income and expenses into the household account book. Step 2: The report generation unit generates a month-end report based on the household accounting data entered by the household accounting input unit. For example, the generation AI analyzes the entered household accounting data and creates a month-end report. Step 3: The advice provider provides savings advice based on the end-of-month report generated by the report generator. For example, the generation AI provides savings advice for each household based on the end-of-month report.
[0058] (Example 2) In the household management system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a user inputs monthly household accounts, and a generation AI creates a report at the end of the month and provides advice on saving money for each household. This allows the household management system to organize the user's household accounts and reduce wasteful spending.
[0059] A household management system according to an embodiment includes a household account book input unit, a report generation unit, and an advice providing unit. The household account book input unit inputs a user's household account book data. For example, the user inputs their monthly income and expenses into the household account book. The report generation unit generates a month-end report based on the household account book data input by the household account book input unit. For example, a generation AI analyzes the input household account book data and creates a month-end report. The advice providing unit provides savings advice based on the month-end report generated by the report generation unit. For example, the generation AI provides savings advice for each household based on the month-end report. As a result, the household management system according to an embodiment generates a month-end report based on the user's household account book data and provides savings advice, enabling the user to organize their household finances and reduce unnecessary spending.
[0060] In the household ledger input unit, the generation AI automatically classifies expenditure items based on data entered by the user and can request confirmation from the user.

For example, when a user achieves a savings goal, a reward that elicits positive emotions is provided. Also, using the emotion estimation function, when the user is feeling stressed, a suggestion is made to provide a reward that will help the user relax. Furthermore, using the emotion estimation function, the reward system can be adjusted in real time according to the user's emotional state, providing rewards to maintain motivation. In this way, the user can be made more conscious of saving through the emotion-based reward system.
[0099] The household management system can further use an emotion estimation function to predict spending based on the user's emotions. For example, it can predict a tendency for spending to increase when the user is feeling stressed and issue a warning in advance. It can also use the emotion estimation function to predict a tendency for spending to decrease when the user is feeling positive and provide saving advice at that time. It can also use the emotion estimation function to predict spending in real time based on the user's emotional state and make suggestions to reduce wasteful spending. This allows the user to reduce wasteful spending through emotion-based spending predictions.
[0100] The household management system can further use an emotion estimation function to provide money-saving advice based on the user's emotions. For example, when the user has positive emotions, more proactive money-saving advice is provided. In addition, the emotion estimation function can be used to suggest reasonable money-saving advice when the user is feeling stressed. The emotion estimation function can also be used to adjust money-saving advice in real time according to the user's emotional state and provide achievable advice. This allows the user to receive realistic money-saving advice based on their emotions.
[0101] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0102] Step 1: The household account book input unit inputs the user's household account book data. For example, the user inputs monthly income and expenses into the household account book. Step 2: The report generation unit generates a month-end report based on the household accounting data entered by the household accounting input unit. For example, the generation AI analyzes the entered household accounting data and creates a month-end report. Step 3: The advice provider provides savings advice based on the end-of-month report generated by the report generator. For example, the generation AI provides savings advice for each household based on the end-of-month report.

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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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).
[0156] 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 expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, 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 expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0157] 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."
[0158] 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.
[0159] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, 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. A processor also includes 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.
[0164] The hardware resource that executes the specific process 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 process may be a single processor.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.
[0168] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
