[0144] As described above, the system of the present invention allows a user to report a problem by voice, which is converted into text data and sent to a server, and then a solution to quickly and accurately resolve the problem can be generated and provided to the user.

[0145] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0146] Step 1:

[0147] Voice input

[0148] The user communicates problems or requests regarding the settings of their mobile phone by voice. The input is the user's voice data. Specifically, the user says, "I don't know how to set up Wi-Fi." This causes the voice data to be captured by the microphone in the device.

[0149] Step 2:

[0150] Voice Recognition

[0151] The device converts the voice data it receives into text data. The input is voice data, and the output is text data. Specifically, the device's voice recognition module uses the Google Voice API to convert the voice data into text data such as "I don't know how to set up Wi-Fi."

[0152] Step 3:

[0153] Sending text data

[0154] The device sends the converted text data to the server. The input is text data, and the output is data transmission to the server. Specifically, the device's transceiver module sends the text data "I don't know how to set up Wi-Fi" to the server using Wi-Fi or 4G / 5G communication.

[0155] Step 4:

[0156] Receiving text data

[0157] The server receives text data sent from the user terminal. The input is the text data sent from the terminal, and the output is data storage within the server. Specifically, the server's communication interface receives the text data and stores it in a processing queue.

[0158] Step 5:

[0159] Processing by generative AI module

[0160] The server provides the received text data to a generative AI model to generate a solution or advice. The input is the text data and a prompt, and the output is a solution or advice. Specifically, the server sends the following prompt to the generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4):

[0161] When a user inquires about how to set up Wi-Fi, please provide a clear explanation of the steps to set up Wi-Fi.

[0162] The generative AI model generates the following solution: "Open the Settings app and go to the Wi-Fi settings section. Select the network you want to connect to from the list of Wi-Fi networks, enter the password, and tap Connect."

[0163] Step 6:

[0164] Submit a solution

[0165] The server sends the generated solutions and advice to the user's device. The input is the generated solution, and the output is data transmission to the user's device. Specifically, the server's transmission module prepares the generated text data and transmits it to the device via Wi-Fi or 4G / 5G communication.

[0166] Step 7:

[0167] View and listen to the solution

[0168] The device displays the received solution on the display and plays it back aloud using a Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine. The input is the solution sent from the server, and the output is the display and audio playback. Specifically, the device's receiving module receives the solution text data and displays it on the display as follows:

[0169] Open the Settings app and go to the Wi-Fi settings section. Select the network you want to connect to from the list of Wi-Fi networks, enter the password, and tap Connect.

[0170] In addition, the Google TTS engine converts the text data into speech and plays it back through the speaker.

[0188] "Speech recognition" is a technology that converts voice input into text data.

[0189] The present invention is a system that uses a user terminal, a server, and a generation AI module to provide appropriate solutions and advice for problems and requests related to the configuration and use of a security system. Specific embodiments for implementing this system are described below.

[0190] 1. User Device

[0191] The user device is equipped with a voice recognition module that receives voice input and converts it into text data. This module can use the Google Speech-to-Text API. It also has a communication interface that transmits the input text data to the server. This allows users to input security system issues and requests by voice, and the content is converted into text data and sent to the server.

[0192] 2. Server

[0193] The server receives text data sent from the user's device and passes it to the generation AI module. The received text data is analyzed by the generation AI module, and optimal solutions and advice are generated. OpenAI's GPT-4 can be used as the generation AI module. This generated data is then sent back to the user's device.

[0194] 3. Generative AI Module

[0195] The generative AI module generates solutions and advice on security system configuration and usage based on the text data received by the server. This module has learned from a huge data set and can provide the most appropriate information for the user's problem.

[0196] 4. User Interface

[0197] The user device has the ability to display the received solutions and advice on the screen and play them back aloud using the Google Text-to-Speech API, allowing users to confirm the solutions and advice both visually and audibly.

[0198] Specific examples

[0199] For example, if a user says "my security camera isn't working," the following will be processed:

[0200] 1. The user speaks "My security camera isn't working."

[0201] 2. The user device converts the voice into text data and sends it to the server.

[0202] 3. The server receives the text data and provides it to the generation AI module.

[0203] 4. The generative AI module generates a solution such as "Please check the power supply of the security camera and restart it."

[0204] 5. The server sends the generated solution to the user device.

[0205] 6. The user device displays the received solution on the display and plays it back aloud.

[0206] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0207] "How do I reset the settings on my security cameras?"

[0208] "My alarm system is malfunctioning. Can you help me fix it?"

[0209] This allows users to quickly and easily troubleshoot security system problems.

[0210] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0211] Step 1:

[0212] Users input their security system problems and requests by voice. The input voice is picked up through the microphone of the user's device. Based on the input, the user's voice data is collected.

[0213] Step 2:

[0214] The voice data captured by the user device is converted into text data using voice recognition software (e.g., Google Speech-to-Text API). In this step, voice signals are analyzed using voice recognition technology and converted into corresponding strings of characters. The output is the converted text data.

[0215] Step 3:

[0216] The user terminal sends the converted text data to the server. Here, the data is sent to the server using the HTTPS protocol to ensure security. The input is the text data generated by speech recognition, and the output is the text data sent to the server.

[0217] Step 4:

[0218] The server receives the text data sent from the user terminal. In this step, the server is prepared to analyze the text data. The input is the text data sent from the user terminal, and the output is the provision of the text data to the generation AI module.

[0219] Step 5:

[0220] The server provides the received text data to a generative AI module (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4) to generate an optimal solution or advice. In this step, the AI ​​model analyzes the text data and generates a solution. The output is the generated solution or advice text data.

[0221] Step 6:

[0222] The server sends the solutions and advice generated by the generative AI module to the user's device. Here, data is transferred securely using the HTTPS protocol again. The input is the text data of the generated solutions and advice, and the output is the transmission of the solutions and advice to the user's device.

[0223] Step 7:

[0224] The user device displays the received solution or advice on the display and plays it back aloud. In this step, the Google Text-to-Speech API is used to convert the text data into speech and output it as speech. The input is the text data of the solution or advice received from the server, and the output is the text displayed on the display and the solution or advice played back aloud.

[0225] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0226] System Overview

Specific embodiments for implementing this system are described below.

[0667] 1. User Device

[0668] The user device is equipped with a voice recognition module that receives voice input and converts it into text data. This module can use the Google Speech-to-Text API. It also has a communication interface that transmits the input text data to the server. This allows users to input security system issues and requests by voice, and the content is converted into text data and sent to the server.

[0669] 2. Server

[0670] The server receives text data sent from the user's device and passes it to the generation AI module.

[0681] 5. The server sends the generated solution to the user device.

[0682] 6. The user device displays the received solution on the display and plays it back aloud.

[0683] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0684] "How do I reset the settings on my security cameras?"

[0685] "My alarm system is malfunctioning. Can you help me fix it?"

[0686] This allows users to quickly and easily troubleshoot security system problems.

[0687] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0688] Step 1:

[0689] Users input their security system problems and requests by voice. The input voice is picked up through the microphone of the user's device. Based on the input, the user's voice data is collected.

[0690] Step 2:

[0691] The voice data captured by the user device is converted into text data using voice recognition software (e.g., Google Speech-to-Text API). In this step, voice signals are analyzed using voice recognition technology and converted into corresponding strings of characters. The output is the converted text data.

[0692] Step 3:

[0693] The user terminal sends the converted text data to the server. Here, the data is sent to the server using the HTTPS protocol to ensure security. The input is the text data generated by speech recognition, and the output is the text data sent to the server.

[0694] Step 4:

[0695] The server receives the text data sent from the user terminal. In this step, the server is prepared to analyze the text data. The input is the text data sent from the user terminal, and the output is the provision of the text data to the generation AI module.

[0696] Step 5:

[0697] The server provides the received text data to a generative AI module (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4) to generate an optimal solution or advice. In this step, the AI ​​model analyzes the text data and generates a solution. The output is the generated solution or advice text data.

[0698] Step 6:

[0699] The server sends the solutions and advice generated by the generative AI module to the user's device. Here, data is transferred securely using the HTTPS protocol again. The input is the text data of the generated solutions and advice, and the output is the transmission of the solutions and advice to the user's device.

[0700] Step 7:

[0701] The user device displays the received solution or advice on the display and plays it back aloud. In this step, the Google Text-to-Speech API is used to convert the text data into speech and output it as speech. The input is the text data of the solution or advice received from the server, and the output is the text displayed on the display and the solution or advice played back aloud.

[0702] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0758] Step 4:

[0759] The terminal transmits the converted text data and the recognized emotion data to the server.

[0760] Step 5:

[0761] The server receives the text data and emotion data sent from the user terminal.

[0762] Step 6:

[0763] The server inputs the received text data into a generation AI module, which generates an appropriate solution or advice. For example, a generated solution might be, "Open the Settings app and go to the Wi-Fi settings section. Select the network you want to connect to from the list of Wi-Fi networks, enter the password, and tap Connect."

[0764] Step 7:

[0765] The server tailors the generated solution or advice based on the emotion data received. For example, if the user is perceived as "anxious," it adds a detailed explanation to the solution. Example: "Don't worry. First, open the Settings app on your phone..."

[0766] Step 8:

[0767] The server sends the tailored solution or advice to the user terminal.

[0768] Step 9:

[0769] The terminal receives the solution or advice received from the server.

[0770] Step 10:

[0773] Users should follow the on-screen and audio-guided solutions to set up their phone by opening the Settings app, navigating to the Wi-Fi settings section, selecting the network they want to connect to from the list, entering the password, and tapping Connect.

[0774] Example 2

[0775] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0776] When operating or setting up a conventional mobile phone, users often become confused because they do not know the operating procedures or how to set it up. Furthermore, they may feel anxious or stressed because they are not provided with personalized support that is tailored to the user's emotions and situation. This can lead to a poor user experience and make it difficult to use the mobile phone.

[0777] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0778] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving a problem or request provided by a user through voice input, means for converting the voice input into text data, means for transmitting the converted text data and emotion data to the server, means for the server to receive the text data and emotion data and generate a solution or advice using a generative AI model, means for adjusting the generated solution or advice based on the received emotion data, means for transmitting the adjusted solution or advice to the user terminal, and means for the user terminal to display the received solution or advice and play it back by voice. This makes it possible to provide personalized support for mobile phone operations and settings while taking into consideration the user's emotions.

[0779] "Voice input" is the act of a user providing a problem or request by speaking into a mobile phone or other device.

[0780] "Text data" is data that has been converted from voice input into text information, and specifically expresses the content of a problem or request.

[0781] "Emotional data" is information about emotions extracted from the user's voice tone and expressions, and is data that represents the user's feelings and psychological state.

[0782] A "server" is a remote computer system that receives data from a user terminal via a communications network, processes the data using a generative AI model or the like, and transmits the results to the user terminal.

[0783] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that automatically generates solutions and advice based on received text data, and is a program for generating specific answers and instructions.

[0784] "User device" refers to a device used by a user, such as a mobile phone or computer, for voice input and for receiving and displaying solutions and advice.

[0785] "Solutions or Advice" refers to instructions or guides on how to solve a user's problem or procedures that are generated by a generative AI model based on text data.

[0786] "Adjustment" refers to the act of changing the content and expression of the generated solution or advice to match the user's emotions based on the received emotion data.

[0787] The present invention relates to a system that recognizes a user's voice input and emotions and provides optimal solutions and advice to the user regarding the operation and settings of a mobile phone. By combining this with the recognition of the user's emotions, the system can provide more personalized support.

[0894] Conventional support systems for setting up and operating mobile phones and communication devices simply convert the user's voice input into text data and provide solutions and advice. However, because they do not take the user's emotions into consideration, the support content often does not match the user's current situation, resulting in an unsatisfactory user experience. Furthermore, users who are feeling particularly anxious or confused need appropriate advice that addresses their emotions. To solve these issues, a more personalized support system that incorporates the user's emotions is needed.

[0895] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0896] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving a problem or request provided by a user through voice input, means for converting the voice input into text data and emotional data, means for transmitting the converted text data and emotional data to the server, means for the server to receive the text data and emotional data and generate a solution or advice using a generation AI module, means for adjusting the solution or advice based on the user's emotional data, means for transmitting the generated solution or advice to a user terminal, and means for the user terminal to display the received solution or advice and play it back by voice, thereby enabling personalized support that reflects the user's emotions.

In this step, voice signals are analyzed using voice recognition technology and converted into corresponding strings of characters. The output is the converted text data.

[1169] Step 3:

[1170] The user terminal sends the converted text data to the server. Here, the data is sent to the server using the HTTPS protocol to ensure security. The input is the text data generated by speech recognition, and the output is the text data sent to the server.

[1171] Step 4:

[1172] The server receives the text data sent from the user terminal. In this step, the server is prepared to analyze the text data. The input is the text data sent from the user terminal, and the output is the provision of the text data to the generation AI module.

[1173] Step 5:

[1174] The server provides the received text data to a generative AI module (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4) to generate an optimal solution or advice. In this step, the AI ​​model analyzes the text data and generates a solution. The output is the generated solution or advice text data.

[1175] Step 6:

[1176] The server sends the solutions and advice generated by the generative AI module to the user's device. Here, data is transferred securely using the HTTPS protocol again. The input is the text data of the generated solutions and advice, and the output is the transmission of the solutions and advice to the user's device.

[1177] Step 7:

[1251] Example 2

[1252] 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 headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1253] When operating or setting up a conventional mobile phone, users often become confused because they do not know the operating procedures or how to set it up. Furthermore, they may feel anxious or stressed because they are not provided with personalized support that is tailored to the user's emotions and situation. This can lead to a poor user experience and make it difficult to use the mobile phone.

[1254] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1255] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving a problem or request provided by a user through voice input, means for converting the voice input into text data, means for transmitting the converted text data and emotion data to the server, means for the server to receive the text data and emotion data and generate a solution or advice using a generative AI model, means for adjusting the generated solution or advice based on the received emotion data, means for transmitting the adjusted solution or advice to the user terminal, and means for the user terminal to display the received solution or advice and play it back by voice. This makes it possible to provide personalized support for mobile phone operations and settings while taking into consideration the user's emotions.

[1256] "Voice input" is the act of a user providing a problem or request by speaking into a mobile phone or other device.

[1257] "Text data" is data that has been converted from voice input into text information, and specifically expresses the content of a problem or request.

[1258] "Emotional data" is information about emotions extracted from the user's voice tone and expressions, and is data that represents the user's feelings and psychological state.

[1259] A "server" is a remote computer system that receives data from a user terminal via a communications network, processes the data using a generative AI model or the like, and transmits the results to the user terminal.

[1260] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that automatically generates solutions and advice based on received text data, and is a program for generating specific answers and instructions.

[1261] "User device" refers to a device used by a user, such as a mobile phone or computer, for voice input and for receiving and displaying solutions and advice.

[1262] "Solutions or Advice" refers to instructions or guides on how to solve a user's problem or procedures that are generated by a generative AI model based on text data.

[1263] "Adjustment" refers to the act of changing the content and expression of the generated solution or advice to match the user's emotions based on the received emotion data.

[1264] The present invention relates to a system that recognizes a user's voice input and emotions and provides optimal solutions and advice to the user regarding the operation and settings of a mobile phone. By combining this with the recognition of the user's emotions, the system can provide more personalized support.

[1371] Conventional support systems for setting up and operating mobile phones and communication devices simply convert the user's voice input into text data and provide solutions and advice. However, because they do not take the user's emotions into consideration, the support content often does not match the user's current situation, resulting in an unsatisfactory user experience. Furthermore, users who are feeling particularly anxious or confused need appropriate advice that addresses their emotions. To solve these issues, a more personalized support system that incorporates the user's emotions is needed.

[1372] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1373] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving a problem or request provided by a user through voice input, means for converting the voice input into text data and emotional data, means for transmitting the converted text data and emotional data to the server, means for the server to receive the text data and emotional data and generate a solution or advice using a generation AI module, means for adjusting the solution or advice based on the user's emotional data, means for transmitting the generated solution or advice to a user terminal, and means for the user terminal to display the received solution or advice and play it back by voice, thereby enabling personalized support that reflects the user's emotions.

[1374] "Voice input" is voice data provided by the user through a microphone.

[1375] "Emotion data" is data that indicates the user's emotions analyzed from voice input.

[1376] "User terminal" refers to a device operated by a user that accepts voice input and displays and plays solutions and advice.

[1377] A "generative AI module" is a program that runs within the server and includes artificial intelligence that generates solutions and advice based on received text data.

[1378] The "server" is a remote system that receives text data and emotion data sent from a user terminal, generates solutions or advice using a generative AI module, and sends the solutions or advice to the user terminal.

[1379] "Text data" is character data converted from voice input using voice recognition technology.

[1380] "Solutions or Advice" refers to problem-solving steps or advice provided by the generative AI module based on text data and emotion data.

[1587] Step 4:

[1588] Receiving text data

[1589] The server receives text data sent from the user terminal. The input is the text data sent from the terminal, and the output is data storage within the server. Specifically, the server's communication interface receives the text data and stores it in a processing queue.

[1590] Step 5:

[1591] Processing by generative AI module

[1592] The server provides the received text data to a generative AI model to generate a solution or advice. The input is the text data and a prompt, and the output is a solution or advice. Specifically, the server sends the following prompt to the generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4):

[1593] When a user inquires about how to set up Wi-Fi, please provide a clear explanation of the steps to set up Wi-Fi.

[1594] The generative AI model generates the following solution: "Open the Settings app and go to the Wi-Fi settings section. Select the network you want to connect to from the list of Wi-Fi networks, enter the password, and tap Connect."

[1595] Step 6:

[1596] Submit a solution

[1597] The server sends the generated solutions and advice to the user's device. The input is the generated solution, and the output is data transmission to the user's device. Specifically, the server's transmission module prepares the generated text data and transmits it to the device via Wi-Fi or 4G / 5G communication.

[1598] Step 7:

[1599] View and listen to the solution

[1600] The device displays the received solution on the display and plays it back aloud using a Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine. The input is the solution sent from the server, and the output is the display and audio playback. Specifically, the device's receiving module receives the solution text data and displays it on the display as follows:

[1601] Open the Settings app and go to the Wi-Fi settings section. Select the network you want to connect to from the list of Wi-Fi networks, enter the password, and tap Connect.

[1602] In addition, the Google TTS engine converts the text data into speech and plays it back through the speaker.

[1603] (Application example 1)

[1604] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. 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."

[1605] Modern security systems have sophisticated and complex functions, and it is often difficult for average users to understand how to configure and use them. Furthermore, when a configuration error or problem occurs, it is difficult to quickly find a solution, potentially increasing security risks. Traditional support systems have the problem of taking a long time to respond, increasing the hassle and stress for users.

[1606] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[1616] "Audio playback" refers to the act of outputting audio information using the speaker of the user device.

[1617] An "operational procedure" is a set of specific steps that a user must perform to achieve a particular goal.

[1618] "Configuration Instructions" are instructions on how to properly configure the security system.

[1619] "Personalization" is the act of generating solutions and advice optimized for each individual user based on the user's past operation history and settings information.

[1620] "Speech recognition" is a technology that converts voice input into text data.

[1621] The present invention is a system that uses a user terminal, a server, and a generation AI module to provide appropriate solutions and advice for problems and requests related to the configuration and use of a security system. Specific embodiments for implementing this system are described below.

[1622] 1. User Device

[1623] The user device is equipped with a voice recognition module that receives voice input and converts it into text data. This module can use the Google Speech-to-Text API. It also has a communication interface that transmits the input text data to the server. This allows users to input security system issues and requests by voice, and the content is converted into text data and sent to the server.

[1624] 2. Server

[1625] The server receives text data sent from the user's device and passes it to the generation AI module. The received text data is analyzed by the generation AI module, and optimal solutions and advice are generated. OpenAI's GPT-4 can be used as the generation AI module. This generated data is then sent back to the user's device.

[1626] 3. Generative AI Module

[1627] The generative AI module generates solutions and advice on security system configuration and usage based on the text data received by the server. This module has learned from a huge data set and can provide the most appropriate information for the user's problem.

[1628] 4. User Interface

[1629] The user device has the ability to display the received solutions and advice on the screen and play them back aloud using the Google Text-to-Speech API, allowing users to confirm the solutions and advice both visually and audibly.

[1630] Specific examples

[1631] For example, if a user says "my security camera isn't working," the following will be processed:

[1632] 1. The user speaks "My security camera isn't working."

[1633] 2. The user device converts the voice into text data and sends it to the server.

[1634] 3. The server receives the text data and provides it to the generation AI module.

[1635] 4. The generative AI module generates a solution such as "Please check the power supply of the security camera and restart it."

[1636] 5. The server sends the generated solution to the user device.

[1637] 6. The user device displays the received solution on the display and plays it back aloud.

[1638] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1639] "How do I reset the settings on my security cameras?"

[1640] "My alarm system is malfunctioning. Can you help me fix it?"

[1641] This allows users to quickly and easily troubleshoot security system problems.

[1642] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1643] Step 1:

[1644] Users input their security system problems and requests by voice. The input voice is picked up through the microphone of the user's device. Based on the input, the user's voice data is collected.

[1645] Step 2:

[1646] The voice data captured by the user device is converted into text data using voice recognition software (e.g., Google Speech-to-Text API). In this step, voice signals are analyzed using voice recognition technology and converted into corresponding strings of characters. The output is the converted text data.

[1647] Step 3:

[1648] The user terminal sends the converted text data to the server. Here, the data is sent to the server using the HTTPS protocol to ensure security. The input is the text data generated by speech recognition, and the output is the text data sent to the server.

[1649] Step 4:

[1650] The server receives the text data sent from the user terminal. In this step, the server is prepared to analyze the text data. The input is the text data sent from the user terminal, and the output is the provision of the text data to the generation AI module.

[1651] Step 5:

[1652] The server provides the received text data to a generative AI module (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4) to generate an optimal solution or advice. In this step, the AI ​​model analyzes the text data and generates a solution. The output is the generated solution or advice text data.

[1653] Step 6:

[1654] The server sends the solutions and advice generated by the generative AI module to the user's device. Here, data is transferred securely using the HTTPS protocol again. The input is the text data of the generated solutions and advice, and the output is the transmission of the solutions and advice to the user's device.

[1655] Step 7:

[1656] The user device displays the received solution or advice on the display and plays it back aloud. In this step, the Google Text-to-Speech API is used to convert the text data into speech and output it as speech. The input is the text data of the solution or advice received from the server, and the output is the text displayed on the display and the solution or advice played back aloud.

[1657] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[1770] When a user says, "I don't know how to set up Wi-Fi," the device converts the user's voice into text data and detects their anxiety.

[1771] 1. Voice input

[1772] The user says, "I don't know how to set up Wi-Fi."

[1773] 2. Speech and Emotion Recognition

[1774] The voice recognition module converts "I don't know how to set up Wi-Fi" into text data, and the emotion engine recognizes the user's anxiety.

[1775] 3. Data transmission

[1776] The device sends the text data "I don't know how to set up Wi-Fi" and the emotional data "anxiety" to the server.

[1777] 4. Processing by generative AI models

[1782] Sample tailored response: "Don't worry! First, open the Settings app on your phone. Then, go to the Wi-Fi settings section. Next, select your home network from the list of Wi-Fi networks that appears. Finally, enter your network password and tap the Connect button."

[1783] 6. Displaying and playing audio solutions or advice

[1784] The device will display the received solution on its display and play a voice message saying, "Don't worry. First, open the Settings app on your phone..."

[1785] This system allows users to set up Wi-Fi seamlessly and without worry. The combination of an emotion engine and generative AI models improves the user experience.

[1786] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1787] Step 1:

[1788] Receiving audio input

[1789] user:

[1790] The user verbally describes their problem or request into their mobile phone.

[1791] For example, say, "I don't know how to set up Wi-Fi."

[1792] Input: User speech.

[1793] Output: Audio data.

[1794] Step 2:

[1795] Speech and Emotion Recognition

[1796] Device:

[1797] A speech recognition module converts the user's voice data into text data, for example, using the Google Speech-to-Text API.

[1798] The emotion engine analyzes the voice data and extracts emotion data, for example, using the Microsoft Azure Emotion API.

[1799] Input: Audio data.

[1800] Data processing: The voice data is analyzed, and the voice recognition module converts the voice into text data. The emotion engine also extracts emotional information from the voice.

[1801] Output: Text and sentiment data.

[1802] Step 3:

[1803] Sending data

[1804] Device:

[1805] The generated text data and emotion data are sent to the server using a transmission / reception module.

[1806] Input: Text data and sentiment data.

[1807] Data processing: Assembling text data and emotion data into data packets.

[1808] Output: Send the data packet to the server over the communication network.

[1844] Input: Tailored solutions or advice.

[1845] Data processing: Converting tailored solutions and advice into display and speech synthesis.

[1846] Output: Display and audio playback.

[1847] (Application example 2)

[1848] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1849] Conventional support systems for setting up and operating mobile phones and communication devices simply convert the user's voice input into text data and provide solutions and advice. However, because they do not take the user's emotions into consideration, the support content often does not match the user's current situation, resulting in an unsatisfactory user experience. Furthermore, users who are feeling particularly anxious or confused need appropriate advice that addresses their emotions. To solve these issues, a more personalized support system that incorporates the user's emotions is needed.

[1850] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1851] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving a problem or request provided by a user through voice input, means for converting the voice input into text data and emotional data, means for transmitting the converted text data and emotional data to the server, means for the server to receive the text data and emotional data and generate a solution or advice using a generation AI module, means for adjusting the solution or advice based on the user's emotional data, means for transmitting the generated solution or advice to a user terminal, and means for the user terminal to display the received solution or advice and play it back by voice, thereby enabling personalized support that reflects the user's emotions.

[1852] "Voice input" is voice data provided by the user through a microphone.

[1853] "Emotion data" is data that indicates the user's emotions analyzed from voice input.

[1854] "User terminal" refers to a device operated by a user that accepts voice input and displays and plays solutions and advice.

[1855] A "generative AI module" is a program that runs within the server and includes artificial intelligence that generates solutions and advice based on received text data.

[1856] The "server" is a remote system that receives text data and emotion data sent from a user terminal, generates solutions or advice using a generative AI module, and sends the solutions or advice to the user terminal.

[1857] "Text data" is character data converted from voice input using voice recognition technology.

[1858] "Solutions or Advice" refers to problem-solving steps or advice provided by the generative AI module based on text data and emotion data.

[1859] A "voice recognition module" is a program or hardware that converts voice input into text data.

[1860] A "communication interface" is a network means for transmitting and receiving data between a user terminal and a server.

[1861] "Personalization" is a means of providing settings and advice optimized for each user.

[1862] System configuration

[1863] The present invention is a system including: means for receiving a problem or request provided by a user through voice input; means for converting the voice input into text data and emotional data; means for transmitting the text data and emotional data to a server; means for the server to receive the text data and emotional data and generate a solution or advice using a generation AI module; means for adjusting the solution or advice based on the user's emotional data; means for transmitting the generated solution or advice to a user terminal; and means for the user terminal to display the received solution or advice and play it back aloud.

[1864] Hardware and Software Configuration

[1865] User device:

[1866] The user terminal is a device equipped with a voice recognition module, an emotion engine, a transmission / reception module, a display, a speaker, etc.

[1867] server:

[1868] The server is a remote system that receives text data and emotion data, generates solutions and advice using a generative AI module, and sends them to the user's device.

[1869] Communication Interface:

[1870] The communication interface is a network module for transmitting and receiving data between the user terminal and the server.

[1871] Program processing overview

[1872] First, the user inputs voice. The user device uses a voice recognition module to convert the voice input into text data, and then uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions. The acquired text data and emotion data are sent to the server via a communication interface.

[1873] The server receives text data and emotion data sent from the user's device. The generative AI module generates problem-solving procedures and advice based on the received text data. The generated solutions and advice are adjusted based on the user's emotion data.

[1874] The adjusted solution or advice is then sent back to the user terminal via the communication interface, where it is displayed on the display and played aloud using a speech synthesis module.

[1875] Examples of concrete examples and prompts

[1876] For example, if a user says, "I want a new smartphone," the speech recognition module converts the speech into text and generates the text data, "I want a new smartphone." At the same time, the emotion engine recognizes the user's excited emotion.

[1877] An example of user input is:

[1878] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1879] User input: "I want a new smartphone"

[1880] User Sentiment: Excitement

[1881] The generative AI module generates the following recommendations based on this text data and emotion data:

[1882] "The best smartphones include those with the latest camera technology and long battery life. Our most popular models take your experience to the next level. Want to learn more?"

[1883] In this way, the system provides personalized support that reflects the user's emotions.

[1884] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1885] Step 1:

[1886] The user provides voice input.

[1887] Input: User speech (e.g., "I want a new smartphone")

[1888] Action: The user speaks into the device's microphone.

[1889] Output: User's voice data

[1890] Step 2:

[1891] The terminal uses a voice recognition module to convert the voice input into text data.

[1892] Input: Audio data

[1893] Data processing: Converting voice into text using voice recognition technology

[1894] How it works: The speech recognition module analyzes the audio signal and generates corresponding text.

[1895] Output: Text data (e.g., "I want a new smartphone")

[1896] Step 3:

[1897] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions.

[1898] Input: Audio data

[1899] Data calculation: Extracting features such as pitch, intonation, and speed from speech to estimate emotions

[1900] How it works: The emotion engine analyzes voice data and identifies the user's emotion.

[1901] Output: Emotion data (e.g., excitement)

[1902] Step 4:

[1903] The terminal transmits the text data and the emotion data to the server.

[1904] Input: Text data, emotion data

[1905] Operation: The sending and receiving module assembles data into packets and sends them to the server through the communication interface.

[1906] Output: Text data and emotion data sent to the server

[1907] Step 5:

[1908] A server receives the text data and the emotion data.

[1909] Input: Text data, emotion data

[1910] Operation: The server receives data through the communication interface and stores it in storage.

[1911] Output: Text data and emotion data stored in the server storage

[1912] Step 6:

[1913] The server uses a generative AI module to generate a solution or advice based on the text data.

[1914] Input: Text data

[1915] Data calculation: Generative AI module analyzes text data and generates appropriate solutions or advice

[1916] How it works: The generative AI module takes text data and uses algorithms to generate solutions or advice.

[1917] Output: Solution or advice (e.g., "We recommend a smartphone with the latest camera technology.")

[1918] Step 7:

[1919] The server tailors the solution or advice based on the user's emotional data.

[1920] Input: Solution or advice, sentiment data

[1921] Data processing: Using sentiment data to enhance and modify solutions and advice

[1922] How it works: The server references the emotion data and adjusts the content of the generated solution or advice to match the emotion.

[1923] Output: Tailored solution or advice (e.g., "You seem excited. In that case, we recommend a smartphone with the latest camera technology.")

[1924] Step 8:

[1925] The server sends the tailored solution or advice to the user terminal.

[1926] Input: Tailored solution or advice

[1927] Operation: The server assembles the adjusted solution or advice into a packet via the sending and receiving module and sends it to the user terminal through the communication interface.

[1928] Output: Tailored solution or advice sent to user terminal

[1929] Step 9:

[1930] The user device displays and plays audibly the tailored solution or advice received.

[1931] Input: Tailored solution or advice

[1932] How it works: The user device displays the solution or advice on the display and plays it aloud using a speech synthesis module.

[1933] Output: Displayed solution or advice, audio played (e.g., "You seem excited. In that case, we recommend a smartphone with the latest camera technology.")

[1934] 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.

[1935] 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.

[1936] 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.

[1937] 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.

[1938] 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.

[1939] 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.

[1940] 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).

[1941] 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.

[1942] 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."

[1943] 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.

[1944] The system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, but the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. The present disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program running on a personal computer or an application running on a smartphone, etc. The method according to the present disclosure may be provided to users in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).

[1945] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by one computer 22, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be distributed and performed by a plurality of computers including the computer 22. For example, the data generation model 58 may be provided in an external device of the data processing device 12, and data may be generated in the external device in accordance with input data.

[1946] 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.

[1947] 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.

[1948] 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.

[1949] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: An example of a processor 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. Another example of a processor is 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.

[1950] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing 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 processing may be a single processor.

[1951] 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.

[1952] 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.

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.
