[0028] (Example 1) A video editing system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically edits videos based on conditions specified by a user to create attractive videos. As a result, the video editing system can automatically edit shot videos and provide them to users.
[0029] A video editing system according to an embodiment includes a video uploading unit, a condition specifying unit, an analysis unit, an editing unit, and a providing unit. The video uploading unit uploads videos from a user. For example, the user can upload videos he or she has shot to the system. The video uploading unit also supports multiple video file formats (e.g., MP4, AVI, MOV, etc.). The condition specifying unit specifies editing conditions for videos uploaded by the video uploading unit. For example, a user can specify conditions such as "I want the editing to focus on my child's smiling faces" or "I want a collection of cute moments of my pet." The analysis unit analyzes the video based on the conditions specified by the condition specifying unit. For example, the generation AI detects smiling scenes and pet movements in the video. The editing unit edits the video based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. For example, the generation AI stitches together the detected scenes to create a single video. The providing unit provides the video edited by the editing unit to a user. For example, the user can download the edited video or share it via social media or a messaging app. As a result, the video editing system according to an embodiment can automatically edit videos based on the conditions specified by the user to create an appealing video.
[0030] The condition specification unit can detect specific scenes based on user-specified conditions and connect and edit them. For example, when a user uploads a video, the generation AI automatically analyzes the video's content and suggests optimal editing conditions. For example, the generation AI automatically analyzes the video's content and detects scenes with smiling faces and high levels of movement. Based on these analysis results, the generation AI then suggests editing conditions to the user, such as "editing to focus on smiling faces" or "emphasizing scenes with high levels of movement." The generation AI also analyzes the audio and background sounds in the video and automatically suggests editing conditions, such as "adding music" or "removing noise." This allows users to easily create higher-quality videos. Furthermore, the generation AI analyzes the emotions in each scene in the video and suggests editing conditions, such as "emphasizing moving scenes" or "collecting fun scenes." This allows the atmosphere of the video to be edited to match the user's intentions. This allows specific scenes to be edited based on user-specified conditions.
[0031] The analysis unit can analyze the audio in the video and perform editing based on specific keywords and phrases. For example, the generation AI analyzes the audio in the video and performs editing based on specific keywords and phrases. For example, the generation AI analyzes the audio in the video and detects specific keywords and phrases such as "laughter" or "applause." Then, based on these keywords and phrases, it performs editing to emphasize scenes of laughter. The generation AI also analyzes the audio data and detects specific phrases such as "happy birthday." Then, based on this phrase, it performs editing to emphasize birthday scenes. Furthermore, the generation AI analyzes the audio in the video and detects words of gratitude such as "thank you." Then, based on this keyword, it performs editing to emphasize scenes of gratitude. This allows editing to be performed based on the audio in the video.

The generating AI also outputs the edited video in different resolutions. For example, by saving it in different resolutions, such as "HD resolution" or "4K resolution," users can enjoy the video in the optimal image quality for their device. Furthermore, the generating AI outputs the edited video in formats compatible with different platforms. For example, it saves it in a format optimized for a specific platform, such as "YouTube format" or "Instagram format." This allows the edited video to be played on various devices and platforms.
[0033] The providing unit can automatically generate thumbnail images for edited videos and suggest optimal thumbnails. For example, the providing unit uses a generation AI to automatically generate thumbnail images from edited videos and suggest optimal thumbnails. For example, the generation AI automatically generates thumbnail images from edited videos and suggests "smiling scenes" or "moving scenes" as thumbnails. This allows users to easily select attractive thumbnails. The generation AI also automatically generates multiple thumbnail images from edited videos and suggests the "most visually appealing thumbnail" to users. For example, it selects "scenes with vivid colors" or "scenes with movement" as thumbnails. Furthermore, the generation AI automatically generates thumbnail images from edited videos and suggests "highlight scenes of the video" as thumbnails. This allows users to select thumbnails that maximize the appeal of the video. This allows optimal thumbnails to be suggested for edited videos.
[0034] The providing unit can automatically save the edited video in cloud storage, making it accessible from multiple devices. For example, the providing unit allows the generation AI to automatically save the edited video in cloud storage, making it accessible from multiple devices. For example, the generation AI automatically saves the edited video in cloud storage, allowing the user to access it from multiple devices, such as a smartphone, tablet, or PC. This simplifies video management. Furthermore, by saving the edited video in cloud storage, the user can access the video from anywhere with an internet connection. For example, the user can watch the video while traveling or on the go. Furthermore, the generation AI automatically saves the edited video in cloud storage, allowing the user to easily share the video with family and friends by simply sending a cloud link. This allows the edited video to be saved in cloud storage and accessed from multiple devices.
[0035] The editing department can add appropriate music and effects based on the theme and style selected by the user. For example, the generation AI automatically adds appropriate music based on the theme selected by the user. For example, if the user selects an "emotional movie" theme, the generation AI automatically adds emotional music. Furthermore, during editing, the generation AI automatically adds appropriate effects based on the style selected by the user. For example, if the user selects a "retro" style, the generation AI automatically adds a sepia-toned filter or an old-movie effect. Furthermore, the generation AI edits the video based on the theme and style selected by the user. For example, if the user selects a "birthday party" theme, the generation AI automatically adds bright music and colorful effects. This allows appropriate music and effects to be added based on the theme and style selected by the user.
[0036] The providing unit can add a function that allows edited videos to be easily shared not only on social media and messaging apps, but also on email and blogs. For example, the providing unit adds a function that allows the generation AI to easily share edited videos not only on social media and messaging apps, but also on email and blogs. For example, the providing unit provides a function that allows the generation AI to easily share edited videos not only on social media and messaging apps, but also on email and blogs. For example, the providing unit provides a function that allows the generation AI to automatically generate embedding codes for blogs for edited videos, allowing users to easily embed videos in blogs. Furthermore, the generating AI enables the generation AI to easily share edited videos not only on social media and messaging apps, but also on email and blogs. For example, the providing unit provides a function that automatically generates email templates that include video thumbnails and links. This allows edited videos to be easily shared on various platforms.
[0037] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0038] The video editing system may further include an eye-tracking unit that tracks the user's gaze. The eye-tracking unit can analyze the movement of the user's gaze while watching a video and identify scenes that the user is particularly paying attention to. For example, if the user focuses their gaze on a particular character or object, editing can be performed to emphasize that scene. The eye-tracking unit can also detect scenes in which the user fixates their gaze for a long period of time and edit those scenes as highlights. Furthermore, the eye-tracking unit can detect scenes in which the user frequently moves their gaze and cut those scenes, thereby maintaining the viewer's concentration.
[0039] The video editing system may further include a voice recognition unit. The voice recognition unit can analyze the audio in the video and perform editing based on specific keywords or phrases. For example, the voice recognition unit can detect specific keywords such as "laughter" or "applause" from the audio in the video and perform editing to emphasize those scenes. The voice recognition unit can also detect specific phrases such as "happy birthday" from the audio in the video and perform editing to emphasize those scenes. Furthermore, the voice recognition unit can detect words of gratitude such as "thank you" from the audio in the video and perform editing to emphasize those scenes.
[0040] The video editing system may further include a viewing environment analysis unit that analyzes the user's viewing environment and performs optimal editing. The viewing environment analysis unit analyzes the environment in which the user is viewing a video (e.g., brightness and volume) and can perform editing that suits that environment. For example, if the user is viewing in a bright environment, the viewing environment analysis unit can perform editing that emphasizes bright scenes. Also, if the user is viewing in a quiet environment, the viewing environment analysis unit can perform editing that emphasizes quiet scenes. Furthermore, if the user is viewing in a noisy environment, the viewing environment analysis unit can perform editing that adjusts the volume.
[0041] The video editing system may further include a viewing environment analysis unit that analyzes the user's viewing environment and suggests optimal music and effects. The viewing environment analysis unit may analyze the environment (e.g., brightness and volume) in which the user is viewing a video and suggest music and effects that match that environment. For example, the viewing environment analysis unit may suggest bright music if the user is viewing in a bright environment. The viewing environment analysis unit may also suggest quiet music if the user is viewing in a quiet environment. Furthermore, the viewing environment analysis unit may suggest effects to adjust the volume if the user is viewing in a noisy environment.
[0042] The video editing system may further include a viewing environment analysis unit that analyzes the user's viewing environment and suggests optimal text and captions. The viewing environment analysis unit may analyze the environment (e.g., brightness and volume) in which the user is viewing a video and suggest text and captions that match the environment.

[0114] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0115] In the robot 414, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. A specific processing program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0116] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.
[0117] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[0118] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.
[0119] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.
[0120] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0121] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0122] 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.
[0123] 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).
[0124] 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.
[0125] 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."
[0126] 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.
[0127] 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.
[0128] 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.
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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.
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.
