[0151] Step 3:
[0152] Send the data to a generative AI model for analysis
[0153] Input: Business plan, technical specifications, financial information.
[0154] The server sends the business information received from the user to the generative AI model, generating a prompt such as "Evaluate technical and market risks."
[0155] The server sends the data along with the prompt to the generative AI model.
[0156] Output: Analysis begins with a generative AI model.
[0157] Step 4:
[0158] Data analysis and feedback generation
[0159] Input: Prompt statement, business plan, technical specifications, financial information.
[0160] Based on the prompt, the generative AI model analyzes the input business information from various perspectives, including technical, legal, and business strategy.
[0161] As a result, analytical data is generated.
[0162] Output: The generative AI model returns the analysis results to the server.
[0163] Step 5:

[0263] The present invention provides an innovation platform that effectively connects startup companies and investment institutions, and is a system that utilizes generative AI for professional analysis and feedback, and an emotion engine to recognize and analyze user emotions. Specific embodiments and program processing for implementing this system are described below.
[0264] System Overview
[0265] This system consists of the following main components:
[0266] 1. User Device
[0267] It is a device that allows startups to access the system and enter business plans, technical details, and financial information.
[0268] 2. Server
[0269] It plays a central role in receiving data, sending it to the generative AI model, managing and providing the analysis results, and also managing the sentiment analysis data from the sentiment engine.
[0270] 3. Generative AI models and specialized AI teams
[0271] It is a collection of algorithms and systems that analyze business plans, technology, and financial information and provide feedback from multiple perspectives.
[0272] 4. Emotion Engine
[0273] This system analyzes emotions from user input data and real-time data during interactions, and optimizes feedback and interaction content based on that information.
[0274] 5. Investment institution terminal
[0275] This device allows investment institutions to access the system, view analytical reports on startup companies, and interact with them.
[0276] Program processing
[0277] User registration and information entry
[0278] Users (startup companies) first create an account, entering their company name, contact information, business overview, etc. After that, a detailed business plan, technical specifications, and financial information are entered into the system and sent to the server.
[0279] Example: A startup company, XYZ Tech, enters its development plan for a new AI product, registering technical specifications, market forecasts, and budget plans in the system.
[0280] Data analysis and feedback
[0281] The server sends the received data to the generative AI model, which analyzes the data from multiple perspectives, including technology, law, and corporate strategy, and generates feedback. The results are provided to the user via the server. The emotion engine also analyzes user input data and understands emotional responses.
[0282] Example: An AI model evaluates the technical specifications of "XYZ Tech," identifies technical risks and legal issues at the time of market launch, and proposes improvements. At the same time, an emotion engine analyzes the emotional reactions of users based on their input data and reflects them in the feedback.
[0283] Creation of company analysis reports
[0284] For startups that meet certain criteria, the generative AI model creates a detailed company analysis report, including market analysis, competitive analysis, financial forecasts, risk assessment, etc. The server provides the report to users and also makes it accessible to investment institutions.
[0285] Example: The report on "XYZ Tech" includes a technology comparison with key competitors, projected revenue models, and detailed risk factors.
[0286] Identifying investment opportunities
[0287] Investment institutions access the server to view company analysis reports for startups they are interested in. They use search and filtering functions to find promising investment targets in specific industries and technologies.
[0288] Example: An investment institution sees a report on "XYZ Tech," becomes interested in the business plan, and begins detailed due diligence.
[0289] Exchange and growth support
[0290] Users and investment institutions can interact directly within the platform using a messaging system and video conferencing functions. The server monitors the interaction and provides additional support when necessary. The emotion engine analyzes real-time data during the interaction and supports optimal interactions based on the user's emotional state.
[0291] Example: XYZ Tech is holding a video conference with an investment institution to discuss the terms of funding and future developments. During the conversation, the emotion engine monitors the user's stress level and suggests taking a break at the appropriate time.
[0292] As described above, the system of the present invention can bring benefits to both startup companies and investment institutions, supporting efficient and effective business development and fundraising. Furthermore, the introduction of an emotion engine provides optimal support that takes into account the user's emotional state.
[0293] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0294] Step 1:
[0295] A user accesses the platform using a device and creates an account, entering the company name, contact information, and business overview as registration information, which is then sent to the server.
[0296] Step 2:
[0297] A user uses a terminal to input data such as a detailed business plan, technical specifications, and financial information, and then sends it to a server, which stores the information in a database.
[0298] Step 3:
[0299] The server sends the stored startup company information to the generative AI model, which then sends the data to specialized AI teams in each field, who then begin their analysis.
[0300] Step 4:
[0301] The generative AI model analyzes data from technical, legal, and corporate strategy fields and sends the results to a server, which then integrates the results and generates feedback. The emotion engine also analyzes user input data and recognizes emotional states.
[0302] Step 5:
[0303] The server sends the generated feedback and the results of the emotion engine analysis to the user's device and notifies them. The user can then check the feedback and emotion analysis and use it to revise and improve their business plan.
[0304] Step 6:
[0305] For startup companies that meet certain criteria, the generative AI model creates a detailed company analysis report and sends it to the server.
[0306] Step 7:
[0307] The server transmits the company analysis report to the user terminal and also makes it accessible to the investment institution terminal.
[0308] Step 8:
[0309] Investors access the platform using their devices to view company analysis reports for startups they are interested in. They can use search and filtering functions to find promising investment targets in specific industries and technologies.
[0310] Step 9:
[0311] If an investment institution shows interest in the startup, the server receives the investment institution's feedback and notifies the user, who then begins interacting with the investment institution.
[0312] Step 10:
[0313] Users and investment institutions communicate directly using messaging and video conferencing. The server records the content of the interaction and provides additional support from generative AI models as needed. The emotion engine analyzes real-time data during the interaction and monitors the user's emotional state.
[0314] Step 11:
[0315] During the interaction, the emotion engine analyzes the user's emotional state, and if, for example, a high stress level is detected, the server suggests the user take a break and adjusts the progress of the interaction.
[0316] Step 12:
[0317] If the investment is successful and the startup aims to grow and expand into the market, the server will monitor the company's progress and provide further support as needed, taking into account user sentiment analysis data to provide support at the appropriate time.

[0709] The present invention provides an innovation platform that effectively connects startup companies and investment institutions, and is a system that utilizes generative AI for professional analysis and feedback, and an emotion engine to recognize and analyze user emotions. Specific embodiments and program processing for implementing this system are described below.
[0710] System Overview
[0711] This system consists of the following main components:
[0712] 1. User Device
[0713] It is a device that allows startups to access the system and enter business plans, technical details, and financial information.
[0714] 2. Server
[0715] It plays a central role in receiving data, sending it to the generative AI model, managing and providing the analysis results, and also managing the sentiment analysis data from the sentiment engine.
[0716] 3. Generative AI models and specialized AI teams
[0717] It is a collection of algorithms and systems that analyze business plans, technology, and financial information and provide feedback from multiple perspectives.
[0718] 4. Emotion Engine
[0719] This system analyzes emotions from user input data and real-time data during interactions, and optimizes feedback and interaction content based on that information.
[0720] 5. Investment institution terminal
[0721] This device allows investment institutions to access the system, view analytical reports on startup companies, and interact with them.
[0722] Program processing
[0723] User registration and information entry
[0724] Users (startup companies) first create an account, entering their company name, contact information, business overview, etc. After that, a detailed business plan, technical specifications, and financial information are entered into the system and sent to the server.
[0725] Example: A startup company, XYZ Tech, enters its development plan for a new AI product, registering technical specifications, market forecasts, and budget plans in the system.
[0726] Data analysis and feedback
[0727] The server sends the received data to the generative AI model, which analyzes the data from multiple perspectives, including technology, law, and corporate strategy, and generates feedback. The results are provided to the user via the server. The emotion engine also analyzes user input data and understands emotional responses.
[0728] Example: An AI model evaluates the technical specifications of "XYZ Tech," identifies technical risks and legal issues at the time of market launch, and proposes improvements. At the same time, an emotion engine analyzes the emotional reactions of users based on their input data and reflects them in the feedback.
[0729] Creation of company analysis reports
[0730] For startups that meet certain criteria, the generative AI model creates a detailed company analysis report, including market analysis, competitive analysis, financial forecasts, risk assessment, etc. The server provides the report to users and also makes it accessible to investment institutions.
[0731] Example: The report on "XYZ Tech" includes a technology comparison with key competitors, projected revenue models, and detailed risk factors.
[0732] Identifying investment opportunities
[0733] Investment institutions access the server to view company analysis reports for startups they are interested in. They use search and filtering functions to find promising investment targets in specific industries and technologies.
[0734] Example: An investment institution sees a report on "XYZ Tech," becomes interested in the business plan, and begins detailed due diligence.
[0735] Exchange and growth support
[0736] Users and investment institutions can interact directly within the platform using a messaging system and video conferencing functions. The server monitors the interaction and provides additional support when necessary. The emotion engine analyzes real-time data during the interaction and supports optimal interactions based on the user's emotional state.
[0737] Example: XYZ Tech is holding a video conference with an investment institution to discuss the terms of funding and future developments. During the conversation, the emotion engine monitors the user's stress level and suggests taking a break at the appropriate time.
[0738] As described above, the system of the present invention can bring benefits to both startup companies and investment institutions, supporting efficient and effective business development and fundraising. Furthermore, the introduction of an emotion engine provides optimal support that takes into account the user's emotional state.
[0739] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0740] Step 1:
[0741] A user accesses the platform using a device and creates an account, entering the company name, contact information, and business overview as registration information, which is then sent to the server.
[0742] Step 2:
[0743] A user uses a terminal to input data such as a detailed business plan, technical specifications, and financial information, and then sends it to a server, which stores the information in a database.
[0744] Step 3:
[0745] The server sends the stored startup company information to the generative AI model, which then sends the data to specialized AI teams in each field, who then begin their analysis.
[0746] Step 4:
[0747] The generative AI model analyzes data from technical, legal, and corporate strategy fields and sends the results to a server, which then integrates the results and generates feedback. The emotion engine also analyzes user input data and recognizes emotional states.
[0748] Step 5:
[0749] The server sends the generated feedback and the results of the emotion engine analysis to the user's device and notifies them. The user can then check the feedback and emotion analysis and use it to revise and improve their business plan.
[0750] Step 6:
[0751] For startup companies that meet certain criteria, the generative AI model creates a detailed company analysis report and sends it to the server.
[0752] Step 7:
[0753] The server transmits the company analysis report to the user terminal and also makes it accessible to the investment institution terminal.
[0754] Step 8:
[0755] Investors access the platform using their devices to view company analysis reports for startups they are interested in. They can use search and filtering functions to find promising investment targets in specific industries and technologies.
[0756] Step 9:
[0757] If an investment institution shows interest in the startup, the server receives the investment institution's feedback and notifies the user, who then begins interacting with the investment institution.
[0758] Step 10:
[0759] Users and investment institutions communicate directly using messaging and video conferencing. The server records the content of the interaction and provides additional support from generative AI models as needed. The emotion engine analyzes real-time data during the interaction and monitors the user's emotional state.
[0760] Step 11:
[0761] During the interaction, the emotion engine analyzes the user's emotional state, and if, for example, a high stress level is detected, the server suggests the user take a break and adjusts the progress of the interaction.
[0762] Step 12:
[0763] If the investment is successful and the startup aims to grow and expand into the market, the server will monitor the company's progress and provide further support as needed, taking into account user sentiment analysis data to provide support at the appropriate time.

[0913] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0914] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[1155] The present invention provides an innovation platform that effectively connects startup companies and investment institutions, and is a system that utilizes generative AI for professional analysis and feedback, and an emotion engine to recognize and analyze user emotions. Specific embodiments and program processing for implementing this system are described below.
[1156] System Overview
[1157] This system consists of the following main components:
[1158] 1. User Device
[1159] It is a device that allows startups to access the system and enter business plans, technical details, and financial information.
[1160] 2. Server
[1161] It plays a central role in receiving data, sending it to the generative AI model, managing and providing the analysis results, and also managing the sentiment analysis data from the sentiment engine.
[1162] 3. Generative AI models and specialized AI teams
[1163] It is a collection of algorithms and systems that analyze business plans, technology, and financial information and provide feedback from multiple perspectives.
[1164] 4. Emotion Engine
[1165] This system analyzes emotions from user input data and real-time data during interactions, and optimizes feedback and interaction content based on that information.
[1166] 5. Investment institution terminal
[1167] This device allows investment institutions to access the system, view analytical reports on startup companies, and interact with them.
[1168] Program processing
[1169] User registration and information entry
[1170] Users (startup companies) first create an account, entering their company name, contact information, business overview, etc. After that, a detailed business plan, technical specifications, and financial information are entered into the system and sent to the server.
[1171] Example: A startup company, XYZ Tech, enters its development plan for a new AI product, registering technical specifications, market forecasts, and budget plans in the system.
[1172] Data analysis and feedback
[1173] The server sends the received data to the generative AI model, which analyzes the data from multiple perspectives, including technology, law, and corporate strategy, and generates feedback. The results are provided to the user via the server. The emotion engine also analyzes user input data and understands emotional responses.
[1174] Example: An AI model evaluates the technical specifications of "XYZ Tech," identifies technical risks and legal issues at the time of market launch, and proposes improvements. At the same time, an emotion engine analyzes the emotional reactions of users based on their input data and reflects them in the feedback.
[1175] Creation of company analysis reports
[1176] For startups that meet certain criteria, the generative AI model creates a detailed company analysis report, including market analysis, competitive analysis, financial forecasts, risk assessment, etc. The server provides the report to users and also makes it accessible to investment institutions.
[1177] Example: The report on "XYZ Tech" includes a technology comparison with key competitors, projected revenue models, and detailed risk factors.
[1178] Identifying investment opportunities
[1179] Investment institutions access the server to view company analysis reports for startups they are interested in. They use search and filtering functions to find promising investment targets in specific industries and technologies.
[1180] Example: An investment institution sees a report on "XYZ Tech," becomes interested in the business plan, and begins detailed due diligence.
[1181] Exchange and growth support
[1182] Users and investment institutions can interact directly within the platform using a messaging system and video conferencing functions. The server monitors the interaction and provides additional support when necessary. The emotion engine analyzes real-time data during the interaction and supports optimal interactions based on the user's emotional state.
[1183] Example: XYZ Tech is holding a video conference with an investment institution to discuss the terms of funding and future developments. During the conversation, the emotion engine monitors the user's stress level and suggests taking a break at the appropriate time.
[1184] As described above, the system of the present invention can bring benefits to both startup companies and investment institutions, supporting efficient and effective business development and fundraising. Furthermore, the introduction of an emotion engine provides optimal support that takes into account the user's emotional state.
[1185] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1186] Step 1:
[1187] A user accesses the platform using a device and creates an account, entering the company name, contact information, and business overview as registration information, which is then sent to the server.
[1188] Step 2:
[1189] A user uses a terminal to input data such as a detailed business plan, technical specifications, and financial information, and then sends it to a server, which stores the information in a database.
[1190] Step 3:
[1191] The server sends the stored startup company information to the generative AI model, which then sends the data to specialized AI teams in each field, who then begin their analysis.
[1192] Step 4:
[1193] The generative AI model analyzes data from technical, legal, and corporate strategy fields and sends the results to a server, which then integrates the results and generates feedback. The emotion engine also analyzes user input data and recognizes emotional states.
[1194] Step 5:
[1195] The server sends the generated feedback and the results of the emotion engine analysis to the user's device and notifies them. The user can then check the feedback and emotion analysis and use it to revise and improve their business plan.
[1196] Step 6:
[1197] For startup companies that meet certain criteria, the generative AI model creates a detailed company analysis report and sends it to the server.
[1198] Step 7:
[1199] The server transmits the company analysis report to the user terminal and also makes it accessible to the investment institution terminal.
[1200] Step 8:
[1201] Investors access the platform using their devices to view company analysis reports for startups they are interested in. They can use search and filtering functions to find promising investment targets in specific industries and technologies.
[1202] Step 9:
[1203] If an investment institution shows interest in the startup, the server receives the investment institution's feedback and notifies the user, who then begins interacting with the investment institution.
[1204] Step 10:
[1205] Users and investment institutions communicate directly using messaging and video conferencing. The server records the content of the interaction and provides additional support from generative AI models as needed. The emotion engine analyzes real-time data during the interaction and monitors the user's emotional state.
[1206] Step 11:
[1207] During the interaction, the emotion engine analyzes the user's emotional state, and if, for example, a high stress level is detected, the server suggests the user take a break and adjusts the progress of the interaction.
[1208] Step 12:
[1209] If the investment is successful and the startup aims to grow and expand into the market, the server will monitor the company's progress and provide further support as needed, taking into account user sentiment analysis data to provide support at the appropriate time.

[1608] It plays a central role in receiving data, sending it to the generative AI model, managing and providing the analysis results, and also managing the sentiment analysis data from the sentiment engine.
[1609] 3. Generative AI models and specialized AI teams
[1610] It is a collection of algorithms and systems that analyze business plans, technology, and financial information and provide feedback from multiple perspectives.
[1611] 4. Emotion Engine
[1612] This system analyzes emotions from user input data and real-time data during interactions, and optimizes feedback and interaction content based on that information.
[1613] 5. Investment institution terminal
[1614] This device allows investment institutions to access the system, view analytical reports on startup companies, and interact with them.
[1615] Program processing
[1616] User registration and information entry
[1617] Users (startup companies) first create an account, entering their company name, contact information, business overview, etc. After that, a detailed business plan, technical specifications, and financial information are entered into the system and sent to the server.
[1618] Example: A startup company, XYZ Tech, enters its development plan for a new AI product, registering technical specifications, market forecasts, and budget plans in the system.
[1619] Data analysis and feedback
[1620] The server sends the received data to the generative AI model, which analyzes the data from multiple perspectives, including technology, law, and corporate strategy, and generates feedback. The results are provided to the user via the server. The emotion engine also analyzes user input data and understands emotional responses.
[1621] Example: An AI model evaluates the technical specifications of "XYZ Tech," identifies technical risks and legal issues at the time of market launch, and proposes improvements. At the same time, an emotion engine analyzes the emotional reactions of users based on their input data and reflects them in the feedback.
[1622] Creation of company analysis reports
[1623] For startups that meet certain criteria, the generative AI model creates a detailed company analysis report, including market analysis, competitive analysis, financial forecasts, risk assessment, etc. The server provides the report to users and also makes it accessible to investment institutions.
[1624] Example: The report on "XYZ Tech" includes a technology comparison with key competitors, projected revenue models, and detailed risk factors.
[1625] Identifying investment opportunities
[1626] Investment institutions access the server to view company analysis reports for startups they are interested in. They use search and filtering functions to find promising investment targets in specific industries and technologies.
[1627] Example: An investment institution sees a report on "XYZ Tech," becomes interested in the business plan, and begins detailed due diligence.
[1628] Exchange and growth support
[1629] Users and investment institutions can interact directly within the platform using a messaging system and video conferencing functions. The server monitors the interaction and provides additional support when necessary. The emotion engine analyzes real-time data during the interaction and supports optimal interactions based on the user's emotional state.
[1630] Example: XYZ Tech is holding a video conference with an investment institution to discuss the terms of funding and future developments. During the conversation, the emotion engine monitors the user's stress level and suggests taking a break at the appropriate time.
[1631] As described above, the system of the present invention can bring benefits to both startup companies and investment institutions, supporting efficient and effective business development and fundraising. Furthermore, the introduction of an emotion engine provides optimal support that takes into account the user's emotional state.
[1632] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1633] Step 1:
[1634] A user accesses the platform using a device and creates an account, entering the company name, contact information, and business overview as registration information, which is then sent to the server.
[1635] Step 2:
[1636] A user uses a terminal to input data such as a detailed business plan, technical specifications, and financial information, and then sends it to a server, which stores the information in a database.
[1637] Step 3:
[1638] The server sends the stored startup company information to the generative AI model, which then sends the data to specialized AI teams in each field, who then begin their analysis.
[1639] Step 4:
[1640] The generative AI model analyzes data from technical, legal, and corporate strategy fields and sends the results to a server, which then integrates the results and generates feedback. The emotion engine also analyzes user input data and recognizes emotional states.
[1641] Step 5:
[1642] The server sends the generated feedback and the results of the emotion engine analysis to the user's device and notifies them. The user can then check the feedback and emotion analysis and use it to revise and improve their business plan.
[1643] Step 6:
[1644] For startup companies that meet certain criteria, the generative AI model creates a detailed company analysis report and sends it to the server.
[1645] Step 7:
[1646] The server transmits the company analysis report to the user terminal and also makes it accessible to the investment institution terminal.
[1647] Step 8:
[1648] Investors access the platform using their devices to view company analysis reports for startups they are interested in. They can use search and filtering functions to find promising investment targets in specific industries and technologies.
[1649] Step 9:
[1650] If an investment institution shows interest in the startup, the server receives the investment institution's feedback and notifies the user, who then begins interacting with the investment institution.
[1651] Step 10:
[1652] Users and investment institutions communicate directly using messaging and video conferencing. The server records the content of the interaction and provides additional support from generative AI models as needed. The emotion engine analyzes real-time data during the interaction and monitors the user's emotional state.
[1653] Step 11:
[1654] During the interaction, the emotion engine analyzes the user's emotional state, and if, for example, a high stress level is detected, the server suggests the user take a break and adjusts the progress of the interaction.
[1655] Step 12:
[1656] If the investment is successful and the startup aims to grow and expand into the market, the server will monitor the company's progress and provide further support as needed, taking into account user sentiment analysis data to provide support at the appropriate time.
[1657] Example 2
[1658] 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."
[1659] Traditional methods for connecting startups with investment institutions are often inefficient due to information asymmetry and lack of communication. Furthermore, if a startup's business plan, technical specifications, and financial information are not fully analyzed, it can be difficult to provide appropriate feedback or identify investment opportunities. Furthermore, the process often ignores the emotional state of the users involved, which can hinder effective communication.
[1660] The identification processing by the identification 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 information about a startup company; means for transmitting the information about the startup company to a generative AI model; means for multifacetedly analyzing the business plan, technical specifications, and financial information of the startup company using the generative AI model; means for providing the startup company with the analysis results by the generative AI model and the emotion analysis results by the emotion engine as feedback; means for providing the investment institution with a company analysis report created by the generative AI model; and means for managing interactions with the investment institution and analyzing emotion data in real time to support optimal interactions. This enables effective connection between startup companies and investment institutions, information symmetry, and effective communication through real-time emotion analysis.

[1694] For startups that meet certain criteria, the generative AI model creates a detailed company analysis report, including market analysis, competitive analysis, financial forecasts, risk assessment, etc. The server provides the report to users and also makes it accessible to investment institutions.
[1695] Example: The risk assessment report includes a technical comparison with key competitors and details of the expected revenue model.
[1696] Example prompt: "Please prepare a company analysis report. Include market analysis, competitive analysis, financial forecasts, and risk assessment."
[1697] Identifying investment opportunities and supporting exchanges
[1698] Investment institutions access the server to view company analysis reports for startups they are interested in. They use search and filtering functions to find promising investment targets in specific industries and technologies.
[1699] Example: An investment institution sees a company's report, becomes interested in the business, and begins detailed due diligence.
[1700] Example prompt: "Browse startup company analysis reports and search for investment opportunities in industries and technologies that interest you."
[1701] Users and investment institutions can interact directly within the platform, using a messaging system and video conferencing functions. The server monitors the interaction and provides additional support when needed. An emotion engine analyzes real-time data and supports optimal interactions based on the user's emotional state.
[1702] Example: A startup company holds a video conference with an investment institution to discuss the terms of funding and future developments. An emotion engine monitors the user's stress level and suggests taking a break at the appropriate time.
[1703] Example prompt: "Start a video conference with an investment institution, analyze sentiment data in real time, and suggest breaks at appropriate times."
[1704] In this way, the present invention benefits both start-up companies and investment institutions, supporting efficient and effective business development and fundraising. Furthermore, the introduction of an emotion engine provides optimal support that takes into account the user's emotional state.

[1772] 5. Smart Glasses
[1773] Devices used to optimize customer interactions in physical stores. An example is Google Glass.
[1774] Program Description
[1775] The server receives the startup company information entered by the user and sends it to the generative AI model. The generative AI model analyzes the data from perspectives such as technology, corporate strategy, and law, and generates multifaceted feedback. The results of this analysis are provided to the user via the server.
[1776] Furthermore, the server analyzes the customer's behavior, remarks, and facial expressions in real time, and sends the input data to an emotion analysis engine.

[1784] Expected Output: The customer is stressed, so please provide suggestions to help them relax. If possible, provide more details about specific products.
[1785] In this way, the system of the present invention not only strengthens engagement between startup companies and investment institutions, but can also be effective in customer service at physical stores.
[1786] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1787] Step 1:
[1788] A user (startup company) creates an account and enters company information, business plan, technical details, and financial information. The entered data is sent from the user's device to the server. Specifically, the user enters data using a PC or tablet, and this data is sent to the server as an HTTP request.
[1789] Step 2:
[1790] The server sends the received startup company information to the generative AI model. At this time, the data is passed to the generative AI model in an appropriate format. The server then sends the data to the generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT model) via an API and requests analysis.
[1791] Step 3:
[1792] The generative AI model analyzes business plans, technical details, and financial information to generate multifaceted feedback. It receives startup details as input and produces market forecasts, technology assessments, risk analyses, and other outputs. It uses natural language processing and machine learning algorithms in the analysis process.
[1793] Step 4:
[1794] The server provides the analysis results received from the generative AI model as feedback to the user. Specifically, it notifies the user of the generated report via a web dashboard or email. The feedback includes suggestions for improving the business plan and an assessment of technical risks.
[1795] Step 5:
[1796] An investment institution accesses the system and views the generated company analysis report. The investment institution's terminal sends a request to the server, and the server provides the appropriate report to the investment institution. In this step, the investment institution can efficiently obtain the information of interest by using the report's filtering and search functions.
[1797] Step 6:
[1798] Users (store staff) wear smart glasses and interact with customers. When a customer visits the store, the smart glasses' sensors capture the customer's behavior, remarks, and facial expressions, and the data is sent to the server. The input includes time-stamped behavioral data and facial expression data of the customer.
[1799] Step 7:
[1800] The server sends the received customer data to a sentiment analysis engine, which analyzes customer sentiment in real time and returns the analysis results to the server, including stress levels and satisfaction levels.
[1801] Step 8:
[1802] The server provides real-time customer service advice to store staff based on the analysis results from the emotion analysis engine. The appropriate response is displayed on the smart glasses' display. For example, if a customer appears dissatisfied, "suggestions to help them relax" are presented to the staff.
[1803] Step 9:
[1804] The user (store staff) responds to the customer based on the advice provided, improving customer satisfaction and optimizing the customer experience.
[1805] Through these processing steps, startups receive professional feedback, investment institutions receive detailed company analysis reports, and brick-and-mortar stores can respond appropriately to customer sentiment.
[1806] 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.
[1807] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.
[1808] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[1809] 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.
[1810] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and actions arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[1811] 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.
[1812] 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).
[1813] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. Emotions can also be created for robots, automobiles, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on Voice Emotion Recognition and Emotional Brain Physiological Signal Analysis Systems, Tokushima University, Doctoral Dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.
[1814] 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."
[1815] 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 ...
