[0056] 8. Return to User
[0057] The server provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, with the option to export it as a Google Slides file.
[0058] Specific examples
[0059] As a specific example, consider the case where information on a proposed supply chain management system is input.
[0060] scene:
[0061] A user enters, "Supplier A provides the raw materials, logistics partner B handles transportation, and distributor C sells the goods to consumers."
[0062] Specific processing flow:
[0063] 1. Getting User Input
[0064] The user enters the above information through the chat interface.
[0065] 2. Text Analysis
[0066] The server analyzes the input information using natural language processing (NLP) technology and extracts entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer."
[0067] 3. Extracting Relationships
[0068] The server analyzes the relationships between entities and identifies relationships such as "Supplier A supplies to logistics partner B," "Logistics partner B transports to distributor C," and "Distributor C sells to consumers."
[0069] 4. Data flow analysis
[0070] The server analyzes the data flow between entities and determines that data flows from "Supplier A to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C to Consumer."
[0071] 5. Analysis of contract type
[0072] The server identifies "a contract between Supplier A and Logistics Partner B," "a contract between Logistics Partner B and Distributor C," and "a contract between Distributor C and the Consumer."
[0073] 6. Generate a Business Model
[0074] The server generates a business model diagram based on these analysis results and outputs it in Google Slides format.
[0075] 7. Generate a risk checklist
[0076] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of outstanding items.
[0077] 8. Return to User
[0078] The server provides the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user, who can then use this information to efficiently plan services and propose system development.
[0079] This allows users to easily input information, and the system automatically generates and provides business model diagrams and risk checklists, preventing oversights when creating frameworks and improving the accuracy and efficiency of service plans and system development proposals.
[0080] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0081] Step 1:
[0082] Users use a web-based chat interface or voice input interface to input information for service planning or system development proposals, including specific details such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, logistics partner B will handle the transportation, and sales agent C will sell the products to consumers."
[0083] Step 2:
[0084] The server acquires the information entered by the user, such as data entered through a chat interface or a voice input interface, and temporarily stores the data for further analysis.
[0085] Step 3:
[0086] The server analyzes the acquired text data using natural language processing (NLP) technology. This analysis extracts entities (characters) from the text. Specific entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer" are identified.
[0087] Step 4:
[0088] The server extracts relationships between the analyzed entities, such as "Supplier A supplies to logistics partner B," "Logistics partner B transports to sales agent C," and "Sales agent C sells to consumers."
[0089] Step 5:
[0090] The server analyzes the data flow between entities. This analysis identifies which data flows from which entity to which entity. For example, data flows from "Supplier A to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C to Consumer."
[0091] Step 6:
[0092] The server analyzes the contract type between each entity, and identifies contract types such as "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and a consumer."
[0093] Step 7:
[0094] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on the analysis results, which visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows, and can be output in formats such as Google Slides.
[0095] Step 8:
[0096] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of outstanding issues to complement the business model diagram, thereby clarifying the risks and outstanding issues that users should consider when planning or proposing a project.
[0097] Step 9:
[0098] The server then provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, who can then download this information as a Google Slides file for use in meetings or to prepare proposals.
[0099] As a concrete example, let's consider the case of inputting information for a proposed supply chain management system. A user would enter through a chat interface, "Supplier A provides raw materials, logistics partner B handles transportation, and distributor C sells the products to consumers." The server retrieves this information and uses NLP technology to analyze entities, their relationships, and data flows. It then automatically generates a business model diagram and risk checklist, which are presented to the user in Google Slides format.
[0100] Example 1
[0101] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0102] In conventional service planning and system development proposals, the task of organizing and visualizing the necessary information requires a great deal of time and effort. Furthermore, insufficient information organization and visualization increases the likelihood of oversights and misunderstandings, making risk management difficult. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can automatically analyze the information provided by users, automatically generate business model diagrams and risk checklists, and visualize the information efficiently and accurately.
[0103] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0104] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring information input by a user, means for analyzing the acquired information using natural language processing technology, and means for automatically generating a business model diagram including entities, their relationships, and data flows, and a risk checklist based on the analyzed information. This makes it possible to efficiently and accurately analyze information provided by a user and quickly create a visually represented business model diagram and risk checklist.
[0105] A "user" is an entity that utilizes the system to provide information and receive visualized business models and risk checklists.
[0106] The "server" is a computer system that analyzes information obtained from users and generates business model diagrams and risk checklists.
[0107] "Information" refers to text and data related to service plans and system development proposals entered by users.
[0108] "Natural language processing technology" is a set of algorithms and techniques used to analyze input information and extract entities and relationships.
[0109] "Entity" refers to a character, organization, object, concept, etc. that is a major element in a business model diagram.
[0110] A "relationship" represents the interaction or association between entities, and clarifies their roles and connections in a business process.
[0111] "Data flow" refers to the flow of data exchanged between entities, and indicates the path along which information travels.
[0112] A "business model diagram" is a visual representation of entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[0113] A "risk checklist" is a list of potential risks and unresolved issues that is generated to complement a business model diagram.
[0114] "Output means" refers to a method or tool for providing the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user.
[0115] This invention is a system that allows users to easily organize and visualize information necessary for planning services, proposing system development, planning seminars and exhibitions, etc. This system acquires input information from the user, analyzes that information, and automatically generates a business model diagram and risk checklist that includes the characters, their relationships, and data flows, and provides them to the user.
[0116] Specifically, the following hardware and software are used:
[0117] Hardware: Servers and terminals (PCs, smartphones)
[0118] Software: Natural Language Processing (NLP) libraries (SpaCy, NLTK), relation extraction models, visualization tools (matplotlib, Graphviz), Google Slides
[0119] Users can use their devices to provide information for service planning and system development proposals through a web-based chat interface or voice input interface. For example, they can enter text such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."
[0120] The server receives the input text data and performs natural language processing using SpaCy and NLTK. First, it tokenizes the text data and then performs entity recognition to extract entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer."
[0121] The server then uses the relationship extraction model to analyze the relationships between entities, such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B transports to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C sells to consumers."
[0122] The server then analyzes the data flow of the entities by referring to business rules and standard data flow diagram templates, identifying the data flow from "Supplier A to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C to Consumer."
[0123] The server also retrieves contract information from a pre-registered database and analyzes the contract type between each entity. For example, it identifies "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and a consumer."
[0124] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on these analysis results and outputs it in Google Slides format, which visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[0125] Additionally, the server generates risk checklists and backlogs, which are used to identify and manage risks in service planning and system development.
[0126] Finally, the server provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, including the option to provide them as downloadable files in Google Slides format, which the user can download and use via their device.
[0127] For example, if a user enters "Supplier A provides raw materials, logistics partner B handles transportation, and distributor C sells products to consumers," the system will automatically analyze the entities, their relationships, and data flows, and based on that, generate a business model diagram and risk checklist, which it will provide to the user.
[0128] This allows users to easily input information, and the system automatically generates and provides business model diagrams and risk checklists, preventing oversights when creating frameworks and improving the accuracy and efficiency of service plans and system development proposals.
[0129] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0130] Step 1:
[0131] A user uses a terminal to access a web-based chat interface or voice input interface and inputs the information required for service planning or system development proposals. The input information is sent to the server as text data. For example, a user might input, "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will be responsible for transportation." This text data becomes the input data for the next analysis step.
[0132] Step 2:
[0133] The server analyzes the received text data using a natural language processing tool (e.g., SpaCy or NLTK). First, the server tokenizes the text and then performs entity recognition. In this process, entity information such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," and "Sales Agent C" is extracted from the text data. The extracted entity information becomes the input data for the next relationship analysis step.
[0134] Step 3:
[0135] The server applies a relationship extraction model to analyze the relationships between the extracted entities. For example, it identifies relationships such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B transports to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C sells to consumers." The analyzed relationship information becomes input data for the next data flow analysis step.
[0136] Step 4:
[0137] The server analyzes the data flow between entities by referring to business rules and standard data flow diagram templates. For example, it identifies data flows such as "from supplier A to logistics partner B," "from logistics partner B to sales agent C," and "from sales agent C to consumers." The analyzed data flow information becomes input data for the next step, contract form analysis.
[0138] Step 5:
[0139] The server retrieves contract information from a pre-registered database and analyzes the contract type between each entity. For example, it identifies "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and the consumer." The analyzed contract type information becomes input data for the next business model diagram generation step.
[0140] Step 6:
[0141] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on these analysis results. Specifically, it creates a diagram in Google Slides format that visually represents entities, relationships, data flows, and contract types. This generated business model diagram serves as input data for the next step, risk checklist generation.
[0142] Step 7:
[0143] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of unsorted items to complement the business model diagram. The generated risk checklist becomes input data for the next step of returning the item to the user.
[0144] Step 8:
[0145] The server provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, including the option to output them as Google Slides files with a download link. Users can download and use these materials via their devices.
[0146] (Application example 1)
[0147] 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 smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0148] In today's business environment, efficient organization and visualization of large amounts of information is required to quickly and accurately plan services and propose system development. However, manually organizing information and creating business model diagrams and risk checklists takes time and effort, so more efficient methods are needed. Furthermore, if users could perform these tasks using smartphones, business efficiency could be further improved.
[0149] 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.

[0173] Users use the chat interface or voice input function of their smartphone to input the information needed to plan a service or propose a system development, for example, "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."
[0174] 2. Text Analysis:
[0175] The smartphone sends the acquired input information to a cloud server, which uses the Google Cloud Natural Language API to analyze the input information and extract the characters and their relationships. For example, it identifies entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer."
[0176] 3. Relationship and data flow analysis:
[0177] The server uses Google BigQuery to analyze the relationships and data flows between the extracted entities, identifying relationships such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B, who transports to Distributor C."
[0178] 4. Analysis of contract type:
[0179] In parallel with the relationship analysis, the contractual arrangements between each entity are also identified, such as "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B."
[0180] 5. Generate a Business Model:
[0181] Based on the analysis results, the server uses the Google Slides API to generate a business model diagram, which is a visual representation of entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[0182] 6. Generate a risk checklist:
[0183] Additionally, the server uses Google Sheets API to generate a risk checklist and a list of outstanding items based on the business model.
[0184] 7. Return to User:
[0185] The generated business model diagram and risk checklist are provided to users via their smartphones, allowing them to instantly check the business model diagram and risk checklist on their smartphones, improving the accuracy and efficiency of service planning and system development proposals.
[0186] Use the following prompt as an example:
[0187] "Supplier A provides raw materials and logistics partner B handles transportation. Analyze this information and generate a business model diagram with actors, their relationships, and data flows, along with a risk checklist."
[0188] Based on such prompts, the generative AI model can automatically generate a business model diagram and a risk checklist, significantly improving the user's work efficiency.
[0189] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0190] Step 1:
[0191] Users use their smartphones to input the information necessary for service planning and system development proposals through a chat interface or voice input function. This information becomes the initial data for the system. For example, they might input, "The supplier will provide the raw materials, and the shipping company will be responsible for transportation." The input data is captured on the smartphone and sent to the cloud server.
[0192] Step 2:
[0193] The server analyzes the acquired user input using the Google Cloud Natural Language API. If the input data is in text format, the API performs syntactic analysis of the text and extracts entities (characters) in the sentence. Specifically, entities such as "supplier," "transport company," "sales agent," and "consumer" are identified. The data input is text data, and the output is a list of entities.
[0194] Step 3:
[0195] The server uses Google BigQuery to analyze the relationships and data flows between the extracted entities. For example, it clarifies relationships such as "Suppliers supply raw materials to transport companies, and transport companies send goods to sales agents." The input required for analysis is a list of entities, and the output is structured data that shows the relationships and data flows.
[0196] Step 4:
[0197] The server also simultaneously analyzes the contract type. After identifying the relationships between entities, it identifies the contract type between each entity, identifying, for example, a "contract between a supplier and a shipping company." The input required for this analysis is relationship data, and the output is structured data including the contract type.
[0198] Step 5:
[0199] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a business model using the Google Slides API. A business model visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows. The input is the analyzed data, and the output is a business model in Google Slides format.
[0200] Step 6:
[0201] The server uses the Google Sheets API to generate a risk checklist and a list of outstanding items based on the business model. The risk checklist lists potential risks and items to be considered in the service plan. The input is the business model data, and the output is a checklist in Google Sheets format.
[0202] Step 7:
[0203] The server provides the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user via smartphone. The user can check and download this data on their smartphone. Ultimately, the user can use the generated materials to create service plans and system development proposals.
[0204] 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.
[0205] This invention relates to a system that acquires input information from users, analyzes it, and automatically generates a business model diagram including the characters, their relationships, and data flows, and also provides a risk checklist. Furthermore, by integrating an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, it has the function of optimizing output based on the user's emotions.

[0252] This system allows users to easily input information, and the system automatically generates and provides business model diagrams and risk checklists. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, the output is optimized to the user's current emotions, improving the accuracy and efficiency of proposals and plans.
[0253] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0254] Step 1:
[0255] Users use a web-based chat interface or voice input interface to input information for service planning and system development proposals, such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."
[0256] Step 2:
[0257] The server acquires the information entered by the user, such as data entered through a chat interface or a voice input interface, and temporarily stores the data for further analysis.
[0258] Step 3:
[0259] The server analyzes the acquired text data using natural language processing (NLP) technology. This analysis extracts entities (characters) from the text. For example, "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer" are identified as entities.
[0260] Step 4:
[0261] The server analyzes the relationships between the extracted entities, for example, identifying relationships such as "Supplier A supplies raw materials to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B transports goods to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C sells goods to consumers."
[0262] Step 5:
[0263] The server analyzes data flows between entities. This analysis identifies which data flows from which entity to which entity. For example, data flows such as "raw material data moves from supplier A to logistics partner B," "product data moves from logistics partner B to sales agent C," and "sales data moves from sales agent C to consumers."
[0264] Step 6:
[0265] The server analyzes the contractual arrangements between each entity, for example, identifying a "supply contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," a "transportation contract between logistics partner B and distributor C," and a "sales contract between distributor C and a consumer."
[0266] Step 7:

[0442] The server analyzes the relationships between the extracted entities and identifies the interactions and data flows between them. The analysis yields relationships such as "Vehicle A delivers packages to distribution center B." The input is a list of entities, and the output is information indicating the relationships and data flows.
[0443] Step 4:
[0444] Contract type analysis
[0445] The server identifies the contract type between each entity based on the relationship and entity information. A contract type such as "Delivery contract between vehicle A and distribution center B" can be obtained. The input is relationship and entity information, and the output is contract type information.
[0446] Step 5:
[0447] Generate operation control charts
[0448] The server uses D3.js to generate a visual control diagram, which visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows. The inputs are entity, relationship, and data flow information, and the output is the control diagram.
[0449] Step 6:
[0450] Generate a risk checklist
[0451] The server retrieves risk factors related to the operation plan from MongoDB and generates a risk checklist. The risk factors are linked based on the operation control diagram. The input is the operation control diagram and the output is the risk checklist.
[0452] Step 7:
[0453] emotion recognition
[0454] The server uses the Microsoft Azure Emotion API to analyze the user's emotional state based on their input, facial expression, and voice. The analysis results in the user's emotional state (positive, negative, or neutral). The input is the user's facial expression and voice data, and the output is information about their emotional state.
[0455] Step 8:
[0456] Output optimization
[0457] The server adjusts the content and display method of the operation control chart and risk checklist based on the analyzed user's emotional state. For example, if the emotion is negative, it highlights cautions and risk avoidance measures. The inputs are the emotional state, operation control chart, and risk checklist, and the output is optimized output.
[0458] Step 9:
[0459] Return to user
[0460] The server generates an optimized operation control chart and risk checklist and returns them to the user's smartphone using React Native. The input is the optimized operation control chart and risk checklist, and the output is the information displayed on the user's smartphone.
[0461] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B 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 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0462] 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.

[0514] 8. Return to User
[0515] The server provides the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user, who can then use this information to efficiently plan services and propose system development.
[0516] This allows users to easily input information, and the system automatically generates and provides business model diagrams and risk checklists, preventing oversights when creating frameworks and improving the accuracy and efficiency of service plans and system development proposals.
[0517] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0518] Step 1:
[0519] Users use a web-based chat interface or voice input interface to input information for service planning or system development proposals, including specific details such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, logistics partner B will handle the transportation, and sales agent C will sell the products to consumers."
[0520] Step 2:
[0521] The server acquires the information entered by the user, such as data entered through a chat interface or a voice input interface, and temporarily stores the data for further analysis.
[0522] Step 3:
[0523] The server analyzes the acquired text data using natural language processing (NLP) technology. This analysis extracts entities (characters) from the text. Specific entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer" are identified.
[0524] Step 4:
[0525] The server extracts relationships between the analyzed entities, such as "Supplier A supplies to logistics partner B," "Logistics partner B transports to sales agent C," and "Sales agent C sells to consumers."
[0526] Step 5:
[0527] The server analyzes the data flow between entities. This analysis identifies which data flows from which entity to which entity. For example, data flows from "Supplier A to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C to Consumer."
[0528] Step 6:
[0529] The server analyzes the contract type between each entity, and identifies contract types such as "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and a consumer."
[0530] Step 7:
[0531] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on the analysis results, which visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows, and can be output in formats such as Google Slides.
[0532] Step 8:
[0533] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of outstanding issues to complement the business model diagram, thereby clarifying the risks and outstanding issues that users should consider when planning or proposing a project.
[0534] Step 9:
[0535] The server then provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, who can then download this information as a Google Slides file for use in meetings or to prepare proposals.
[0536] As a concrete example, let's consider the case of inputting information for a proposed supply chain management system. A user would enter through a chat interface, "Supplier A provides raw materials, logistics partner B handles transportation, and distributor C sells the products to consumers." The server retrieves this information and uses NLP technology to analyze entities, their relationships, and data flows. It then automatically generates a business model diagram and risk checklist, which are presented to the user in Google Slides format.
[0537] Example 1
[0538] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. 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."
[0539] In conventional service planning and system development proposals, the task of organizing and visualizing the necessary information requires a great deal of time and effort. Furthermore, insufficient information organization and visualization increases the likelihood of oversights and misunderstandings, making risk management difficult. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can automatically analyze the information provided by users, automatically generate business model diagrams and risk checklists, and visualize the information efficiently and accurately.
[0540] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0541] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring information input by a user, means for analyzing the acquired information using natural language processing technology, and means for automatically generating a business model diagram including entities, their relationships, and data flows, and a risk checklist based on the analyzed information. This makes it possible to efficiently and accurately analyze information provided by a user and quickly create a visually represented business model diagram and risk checklist.
[0542] A "user" is an entity that utilizes the system to provide information and receive visualized business models and risk checklists.
[0543] The "server" is a computer system that analyzes information obtained from users and generates business model diagrams and risk checklists.
[0544] "Information" refers to text and data related to service plans and system development proposals entered by users.
[0545] "Natural language processing technology" is a set of algorithms and techniques used to analyze input information and extract entities and relationships.
[0546] "Entity" refers to a character, organization, object, concept, etc. that is a major element in a business model diagram.
[0547] A "relationship" represents the interaction or association between entities, and clarifies their roles and connections in a business process.
[0548] "Data flow" refers to the flow of data exchanged between entities, and indicates the path along which information travels.
[0549] A "business model diagram" is a visual representation of entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[0550] A "risk checklist" is a list of potential risks and unresolved issues that is generated to complement a business model diagram.
[0551] "Output means" refers to a method or tool for providing the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user.
[0552] This invention is a system that allows users to easily organize and visualize information necessary for planning services, proposing system development, planning seminars and exhibitions, etc. This system acquires input information from the user, analyzes that information, and automatically generates a business model diagram and risk checklist that includes the characters, their relationships, and data flows, and provides them to the user.
[0553] Specifically, the following hardware and software are used:
[0554] Hardware: Servers and terminals (PCs, smartphones)
[0555] Software: Natural Language Processing (NLP) libraries (SpaCy, NLTK), relation extraction models, visualization tools (matplotlib, Graphviz), Google Slides
[0556] Users can use their devices to provide information for service planning and system development proposals through a web-based chat interface or voice input interface. For example, they can enter text such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."
[0557] The server receives the input text data and performs natural language processing using SpaCy and NLTK. First, it tokenizes the text data and then performs entity recognition to extract entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer."
[0558] The server then uses the relationship extraction model to analyze the relationships between entities, such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B transports to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C sells to consumers."
[0559] The server then analyzes the data flow of the entities by referring to business rules and standard data flow diagram templates, identifying the data flow from "Supplier A to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C to Consumer."
[0560] The server also retrieves contract information from a pre-registered database and analyzes the contract type between each entity. For example, it identifies "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and a consumer."
[0561] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on these analysis results and outputs it in Google Slides format, which visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[0562] Additionally, the server generates risk checklists and backlogs, which are used to identify and manage risks in service planning and system development.
[0563] Finally, the server provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, including the option to provide them as downloadable files in Google Slides format, which the user can download and use via their device.
[0564] For example, if a user enters "Supplier A provides raw materials, logistics partner B handles transportation, and distributor C sells products to consumers," the system will automatically analyze the entities, their relationships, and data flows, and based on that, generate a business model diagram and risk checklist, which it will provide to the user.
[0565] This allows users to easily input information, and the system automatically generates and provides business model diagrams and risk checklists, preventing oversights when creating frameworks and improving the accuracy and efficiency of service plans and system development proposals.
[0566] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0567] Step 1:
[0568] A user uses a terminal to access a web-based chat interface or voice input interface and inputs the information required for service planning or system development proposals. The input information is sent to the server as text data. For example, a user might input, "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will be responsible for transportation." This text data becomes the input data for the next analysis step.
[0569] Step 2:
[0570] The server analyzes the received text data using a natural language processing tool (e.g., SpaCy or NLTK). First, the server tokenizes the text and then performs entity recognition. In this process, entity information such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," and "Sales Agent C" is extracted from the text data. The extracted entity information becomes the input data for the next relationship analysis step.
[0571] Step 3:
[0572] The server applies a relationship extraction model to analyze the relationships between the extracted entities. For example, it identifies relationships such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B transports to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C sells to consumers." The analyzed relationship information becomes input data for the next data flow analysis step.
[0573] Step 4:
[0574] The server analyzes the data flow between entities by referring to business rules and standard data flow diagram templates. For example, it identifies data flows such as "from supplier A to logistics partner B," "from logistics partner B to sales agent C," and "from sales agent C to consumers." The analyzed data flow information becomes input data for the next step, contract form analysis.
[0575] Step 5:
[0576] The server retrieves contract information from a pre-registered database and analyzes the contract type between each entity. For example, it identifies "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and the consumer." The analyzed contract type information becomes input data for the next business model diagram generation step.
[0577] Step 6:
[0578] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on these analysis results. Specifically, it creates a diagram in Google Slides format that visually represents entities, relationships, data flows, and contract types. This generated business model diagram serves as input data for the next step, risk checklist generation.
[0579] Step 7:
[0580] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of unsorted items to complement the business model diagram. The generated risk checklist becomes input data for the next step of returning the item to the user.
[0581] Step 8:
[0582] The server provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, including the option to output them as Google Slides files with a download link. Users can download and use these materials via their devices.
[0583] (Application example 1)
[0584] 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 smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0585] In today's business environment, efficient organization and visualization of large amounts of information is required to quickly and accurately plan services and propose system development. However, manually organizing information and creating business model diagrams and risk checklists takes time and effort, so more efficient methods are needed. Furthermore, if users could perform these tasks using smartphones, business efficiency could be further improved.

[0597] "Smartphone provision" refers to the means of providing the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user via a smartphone.
[0598] The present invention relates to a system that allows users to quickly and efficiently plan services and propose system development. This system acquires information entered by the user, analyzes it, automatically generates a business model diagram and a risk checklist, and provides them to the user via a smartphone.
[0599] The system is comprised of the following hardware and software:
[0600] 1. Hardware:
[0601] Smartphone (iOS / Android)
[0602] Cloud Server
[0603] 2. Software:
[0604] Google Cloud Natural Language API (Natural Language Processing)
[0605] Google BigQuery (data analysis)
[0606] Google Slides API (Business model generation)
[0607] Google Sheets API (risk checklist generation)
[0608] The specific processing flow of the system:
[0609] 1. Getting user input:
[0610] Users use the chat interface or voice input function of their smartphone to input the information needed to plan a service or propose a system development, for example, "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."
[0611] 2. Text Analysis:
[0612] The smartphone sends the acquired input information to a cloud server, which uses the Google Cloud Natural Language API to analyze the input information and extract the characters and their relationships. For example, it identifies entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer."
[0613] 3. Relationship and data flow analysis:
[0614] The server uses Google BigQuery to analyze the relationships and data flows between the extracted entities, identifying relationships such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B, who transports to Distributor C."
[0615] 4. Analysis of contract type:
[0616] In parallel with the relationship analysis, the contractual arrangements between each entity are also identified, such as "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B."
[0617] 5. Generate a Business Model:
[0618] Based on the analysis results, the server uses the Google Slides API to generate a business model diagram, which is a visual representation of entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[0619] 6. Generate a risk checklist:
[0620] Additionally, the server uses Google Sheets API to generate a risk checklist and a list of outstanding items based on the business model.
[0621] 7. Return to User:
[0622] The generated business model diagram and risk checklist are provided to users via their smartphones, allowing them to instantly check the business model diagram and risk checklist on their smartphones, improving the accuracy and efficiency of service planning and system development proposals.
[0623] Use the following prompt as an example:
[0624] "Supplier A provides raw materials and logistics partner B handles transportation. Analyze this information and generate a business model diagram with actors, their relationships, and data flows, along with a risk checklist."
[0625] Based on such prompts, the generative AI model can automatically generate a business model diagram and a risk checklist, significantly improving the user's work efficiency.
[0626] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0627] Step 1:
[0628] Users use their smartphones to input the information necessary for service planning and system development proposals through a chat interface or voice input function. This information becomes the initial data for the system. For example, they might input, "The supplier will provide the raw materials, and the shipping company will be responsible for transportation." The input data is captured on the smartphone and sent to the cloud server.
[0629] Step 2:
[0630] The server analyzes the acquired user input using the Google Cloud Natural Language API. If the input data is in text format, the API performs syntactic analysis of the text and extracts entities (characters) in the sentence. Specifically, entities such as "supplier," "transport company," "sales agent," and "consumer" are identified. The data input is text data, and the output is a list of entities.
[0631] Step 3:
[0632] The server uses Google BigQuery to analyze the relationships and data flows between the extracted entities. For example, it clarifies relationships such as "Suppliers supply raw materials to transport companies, and transport companies send goods to sales agents." The input required for analysis is a list of entities, and the output is structured data that shows the relationships and data flows.
[0633] Step 4:
[0634] The server also simultaneously analyzes the contract type. After identifying the relationships between entities, it identifies the contract type between each entity, identifying, for example, a "contract between a supplier and a shipping company." The input required for this analysis is relationship data, and the output is structured data including the contract type.
[0635] Step 5:
[0636] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a business model using the Google Slides API. A business model visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows. The input is the analyzed data, and the output is a business model in Google Slides format.
[0637] Step 6:
[0638] The server uses the Google Sheets API to generate a risk checklist and a list of outstanding items based on the business model. The risk checklist lists potential risks and items to be considered in the service plan. The input is the business model data, and the output is a checklist in Google Sheets format.

Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, the output is optimized to the user's current emotions, improving the accuracy and efficiency of proposals and plans.
[0690] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0691] Step 1:
[0692] Users use a web-based chat interface or voice input interface to input information for service planning and system development proposals, such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."
[0693] Step 2:
[0694] The server acquires the information entered by the user, such as data entered through a chat interface or a voice input interface, and temporarily stores the data for further analysis.
[0695] Step 3:
[0696] The server analyzes the acquired text data using natural language processing (NLP) technology. This analysis extracts entities (characters) from the text. For example, "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer" are identified as entities.

[0709] Step 10:
[0710] The server optimizes the content and structure of the generated business model diagram and risk checklist based on the user's emotional state recognized by the emotion engine. For example, if the user's emotion is positive, the provided output will include more encouraging information, while if the user's emotion is negative, the server will emphasize information that supports problem solving.
[0711] Step 11:
[0712] The server provides users with optimized business models and risk checklists, which can then be downloaded as Google Slides files for use in meetings and proposals.
[0713] As a concrete example, when a user inputs information for a proposed supply chain management system, he / she inputs "Supplier A provides raw materials, logistics partner B is responsible for transportation, and sales agent C sells the products to consumers" in step 1. The server processes steps 2 to 10 and finally provides an optimized business model diagram and risk checklist.

[0932] Specific examples
[0933] As a specific example, consider the case where information on a proposed supply chain management system is input.
[0934] scene:
[0935] A user enters, "Supplier A provides the raw materials, logistics partner B handles transportation, and distributor C sells the goods to consumers."
[0936] Specific processing flow:
[0937] 1. Getting User Input
[0938] The user enters the above information through the chat interface.
[0939] 2. Text Analysis
[0940] The server analyzes the input information using natural language processing (NLP) technology and extracts entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer."
[0941] 3. Extracting Relationships

[0951] 8. Return to User
[0952] The server provides the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user, who can then use this information to efficiently plan services and propose system development.
[0953] This allows users to easily input information, and the system automatically generates and provides business model diagrams and risk checklists, preventing oversights when creating frameworks and improving the accuracy and efficiency of service plans and system development proposals.
[0954] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0955] Step 1:
[0956] Users use a web-based chat interface or voice input interface to input information for service planning or system development proposals, including specific details such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, logistics partner B will handle the transportation, and sales agent C will sell the products to consumers."
[0957] Step 2:
[0958] The server acquires the information entered by the user, such as data entered through a chat interface or a voice input interface, and temporarily stores the data for further analysis.
[0959] Step 3:
[0960] The server analyzes the acquired text data using natural language processing (NLP) technology. This analysis extracts entities (characters) from the text. Specific entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer" are identified.
[0961] Step 4:
[0962] The server extracts relationships between the analyzed entities, such as "Supplier A supplies to logistics partner B," "Logistics partner B transports to sales agent C," and "Sales agent C sells to consumers."
[0963] Step 5:
[0964] The server analyzes the data flow between entities. This analysis identifies which data flows from which entity to which entity. For example, data flows from "Supplier A to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C to Consumer."
[0965] Step 6:
[0966] The server analyzes the contract type between each entity, and identifies contract types such as "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and a consumer."
[0967] Step 7:
[0968] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on the analysis results, which visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows, and can be output in formats such as Google Slides.
[0969] Step 8:
[0970] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of outstanding issues to complement the business model diagram, thereby clarifying the risks and outstanding issues that users should consider when planning or proposing a project.
[0971] Step 9:
[0972] The server then provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, who can then download this information as a Google Slides file for use in meetings or to prepare proposals.
[0973] As a concrete example, let's consider the case of inputting information for a proposed supply chain management system. A user would enter through a chat interface, "Supplier A provides raw materials, logistics partner B handles transportation, and distributor C sells the products to consumers." The server retrieves this information and uses NLP technology to analyze entities, their relationships, and data flows. It then automatically generates a business model diagram and risk checklist, which are presented to the user in Google Slides format.
[0974] Example 1
[0975] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. 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."
[0976] In conventional service planning and system development proposals, the task of organizing and visualizing the necessary information requires a great deal of time and effort. Furthermore, insufficient information organization and visualization increases the likelihood of oversights and misunderstandings, making risk management difficult. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can automatically analyze the information provided by users, automatically generate business model diagrams and risk checklists, and visualize the information efficiently and accurately.
[0977] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0978] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring information input by a user, means for analyzing the acquired information using natural language processing technology, and means for automatically generating a business model diagram including entities, their relationships, and data flows, and a risk checklist based on the analyzed information. This makes it possible to efficiently and accurately analyze information provided by a user and quickly create a visually represented business model diagram and risk checklist.
[0979] A "user" is an entity that utilizes the system to provide information and receive visualized business models and risk checklists.
[0980] The "server" is a computer system that analyzes information obtained from users and generates business model diagrams and risk checklists.
[0981] "Information" refers to text and data related to service plans and system development proposals entered by users.
[0982] "Natural language processing technology" is a set of algorithms and techniques used to analyze input information and extract entities and relationships.
[0983] "Entity" refers to a character, organization, object, concept, etc. that is a major element in a business model diagram.
[0984] A "relationship" represents the interaction or association between entities, and clarifies their roles and connections in a business process.
[0985] "Data flow" refers to the flow of data exchanged between entities, and indicates the path along which information travels.
[0986] A "business model diagram" is a visual representation of entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[0987] A "risk checklist" is a list of potential risks and unresolved issues that is generated to complement a business model diagram.
[0988] "Output means" refers to a method or tool for providing the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user.
[0989] This invention is a system that allows users to easily organize and visualize information necessary for planning services, proposing system development, planning seminars and exhibitions, etc. This system acquires input information from the user, analyzes that information, and automatically generates a business model diagram and risk checklist that includes the characters, their relationships, and data flows, and provides them to the user.
[0990] Specifically, the following hardware and software are used:
[0991] Hardware: Servers and terminals (PCs, smartphones)
[0992] Software: Natural Language Processing (NLP) libraries (SpaCy, NLTK), relation extraction models, visualization tools (matplotlib, Graphviz), Google Slides
[0993] Users can use their devices to provide information for service planning and system development proposals through a web-based chat interface or voice input interface. For example, they can enter text such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."
[0994] The server receives the input text data and performs natural language processing using SpaCy and NLTK. First, it tokenizes the text data and then performs entity recognition to extract entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer."
[0995] The server then uses the relationship extraction model to analyze the relationships between entities, such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B transports to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C sells to consumers."
[0996] The server then analyzes the data flow of the entities by referring to business rules and standard data flow diagram templates, identifying the data flow from "Supplier A to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C to Consumer."
[0997] The server also retrieves contract information from a pre-registered database and analyzes the contract type between each entity. For example, it identifies "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and a consumer."
[0998] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on these analysis results and outputs it in Google Slides format, which visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[0999] Additionally, the server generates risk checklists and backlogs, which are used to identify and manage risks in service planning and system development.
[1000] Finally, the server provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, including the option to provide them as downloadable files in Google Slides format, which the user can download and use via their device.
[1001] For example, if a user enters "Supplier A provides raw materials, logistics partner B handles transportation, and distributor C sells products to consumers," the system will automatically analyze the entities, their relationships, and data flows, and based on that, generate a business model diagram and risk checklist, which it will provide to the user.
[1002] This allows users to easily input information, and the system automatically generates and provides business model diagrams and risk checklists, preventing oversights when creating frameworks and improving the accuracy and efficiency of service plans and system development proposals.
[1003] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1004] Step 1:
[1005] A user uses a terminal to access a web-based chat interface or voice input interface and inputs the information required for service planning or system development proposals. The input information is sent to the server as text data. For example, a user might input, "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will be responsible for transportation." This text data becomes the input data for the next analysis step.
[1006] Step 2:
[1007] The server analyzes the received text data using a natural language processing tool (e.g., SpaCy or NLTK). First, the server tokenizes the text and then performs entity recognition. In this process, entity information such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," and "Sales Agent C" is extracted from the text data. The extracted entity information becomes the input data for the next relationship analysis step.
[1008] Step 3:
[1009] The server applies a relationship extraction model to analyze the relationships between the extracted entities. For example, it identifies relationships such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B transports to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C sells to consumers." The analyzed relationship information becomes input data for the next data flow analysis step.
[1010] Step 4:
[1011] The server analyzes the data flow between entities by referring to business rules and standard data flow diagram templates. For example, it identifies data flows such as "from supplier A to logistics partner B," "from logistics partner B to sales agent C," and "from sales agent C to consumers." The analyzed data flow information becomes input data for the next step, contract form analysis.
[1012] Step 5:
[1013] The server retrieves contract information from a pre-registered database and analyzes the contract type between each entity. For example, it identifies "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and the consumer." The analyzed contract type information becomes input data for the next business model diagram generation step.
[1014] Step 6:
[1015] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on these analysis results. Specifically, it creates a diagram in Google Slides format that visually represents entities, relationships, data flows, and contract types. This generated business model diagram serves as input data for the next step, risk checklist generation.
[1016] Step 7:
[1017] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of unsorted items to complement the business model diagram. The generated risk checklist becomes input data for the next step of returning the item to the user.
[1018] Step 8:
[1019] The server provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, including the option to output them as Google Slides files with a download link. Users can download and use these materials via their devices.
[1020] (Application example 1)
[1021] 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 headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1022] In today's business environment, efficient organization and visualization of large amounts of information is required to quickly and accurately plan services and propose system development. However, manually organizing information and creating business model diagrams and risk checklists takes time and effort, so more efficient methods are needed. Furthermore, if users could perform these tasks using smartphones, business efficiency could be further improved.
[1023] 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.
[1024] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring information input by a user, means for analyzing the acquired information, means for automatically generating a business model diagram including characters, their relationships, and data flows, and a risk checklist based on the analyzed information, means for generating prompt sentences to be input into the generative AI model, and means for providing the business model diagram and risk checklist to the user via a smartphone.

[1030] A "business model diagram" is a diagram that visually represents the characters, their relationships, data flow, etc., and serves as the basis for service planning and system development proposals.
[1031] A "risk checklist" is a list of risks and matters to be considered that are identified based on the business model diagram, and is used to improve the accuracy and efficiency of proposals.
[1032] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence model that generates business model diagrams and risk checklists based on user-entered information.
[1033] A "prompt sentence" is an input sentence that causes the generative AI model to extract and generate specific information, and is automatically generated by the system.
[1034] "Smartphone provision" refers to the means of providing the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user via a smartphone.
[1035] The present invention relates to a system that allows users to quickly and efficiently plan services and propose system development. This system acquires information entered by the user, analyzes it, automatically generates a business model diagram and a risk checklist, and provides them to the user via a smartphone.
[1036] The system is comprised of the following hardware and software:
[1037] 1. Hardware:
[1038] Smartphone (iOS / Android)
[1039] Cloud Server
[1040] 2. Software:
[1041] Google Cloud Natural Language API (Natural Language Processing)
[1042] Google BigQuery (data analysis)
[1043] Google Slides API (Business model generation)
[1044] Google Sheets API (risk checklist generation)
[1045] The specific processing flow of the system:
[1046] 1. Getting user input:
[1047] Users use the chat interface or voice input function of their smartphone to input the information needed to plan a service or propose a system development, for example, "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."
[1048] 2. Text Analysis:
[1049] The smartphone sends the acquired input information to a cloud server, which uses the Google Cloud Natural Language API to analyze the input information and extract the characters and their relationships. For example, it identifies entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer."
[1050] 3. Relationship and data flow analysis:
[1051] The server uses Google BigQuery to analyze the relationships and data flows between the extracted entities, identifying relationships such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B, who transports to Distributor C."
[1052] 4. Analysis of contract type:
[1053] In parallel with the relationship analysis, the contractual arrangements between each entity are also identified, such as "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B."
[1054] 5. Generate a Business Model:
[1055] Based on the analysis results, the server uses the Google Slides API to generate a business model diagram, which is a visual representation of entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[1056] 6. Generate a risk checklist:
[1057] Additionally, the server uses Google Sheets API to generate a risk checklist and a list of outstanding items based on the business model.
[1058] 7. Return to User:
[1059] The generated business model diagram and risk checklist are provided to users via their smartphones, allowing them to instantly check the business model diagram and risk checklist on their smartphones, improving the accuracy and efficiency of service planning and system development proposals.
[1060] Use the following prompt as an example:
[1061] "Supplier A provides raw materials and logistics partner B handles transportation. Analyze this information and generate a business model diagram with actors, their relationships, and data flows, along with a risk checklist."
[1062] Based on such prompts, the generative AI model can automatically generate a business model diagram and a risk checklist, significantly improving the user's work efficiency.
[1063] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1064] Step 1:
[1065] Users use their smartphones to input the information necessary for service planning and system development proposals through a chat interface or voice input function. This information becomes the initial data for the system. For example, they might input, "The supplier will provide the raw materials, and the shipping company will be responsible for transportation." The input data is captured on the smartphone and sent to the cloud server.
[1066] Step 2:
[1067] The server analyzes the acquired user input using the Google Cloud Natural Language API. If the input data is in text format, the API performs syntactic analysis of the text and extracts entities (characters) in the sentence. Specifically, entities such as "supplier," "transport company," "sales agent," and "consumer" are identified. The data input is text data, and the output is a list of entities.
[1068] Step 3:
[1069] The server uses Google BigQuery to analyze the relationships and data flows between the extracted entities. For example, it clarifies relationships such as "Suppliers supply raw materials to transport companies, and transport companies send goods to sales agents." The input required for analysis is a list of entities, and the output is structured data that shows the relationships and data flows.
[1070] Step 4:
[1071] The server also simultaneously analyzes the contract type. After identifying the relationships between entities, it identifies the contract type between each entity, identifying, for example, a "contract between a supplier and a shipping company." The input required for this analysis is relationship data, and the output is structured data including the contract type.
[1072] Step 5:
[1073] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a business model using the Google Slides API. A business model visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows. The input is the analyzed data, and the output is a business model in Google Slides format.
[1074] Step 6:
[1075] The server uses the Google Sheets API to generate a risk checklist and a list of outstanding items based on the business model. The risk checklist lists potential risks and items to be considered in the service plan. The input is the business model data, and the output is a checklist in Google Sheets format.
[1076] Step 7:
[1077] The server provides the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user via smartphone. The user can check and download this data on their smartphone. Ultimately, the user can use the generated materials to create service plans and system development proposals.
[1078] 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.
[1079] This invention relates to a system that acquires input information from users, analyzes it, and automatically generates a business model diagram including the characters, their relationships, and data flows, and also provides a risk checklist. Furthermore, by integrating an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, it has the function of optimizing output based on the user's emotions.

[1111] The server analyzes the relationships between entities and identifies relationships such as "Supplier A supplies to logistics partner B," "Logistics partner B transports to sales agent C," and "Sales agent C sells to consumers."
[1112] 4. Data flow analysis
[1113] The server analyzes the data flow between entities and identifies data flows such as "Supplier A to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C to Consumer."
[1114] 5. Analysis of contract type
[1115] The server identifies "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and distributor C," and "a contract between distributor C and the consumer."
[1116] 6. Generate a Business Model
[1117] The server generates a business model diagram based on these analysis results and outputs it in Google Slides format.
[1118] 7. Generate a risk checklist
[1119] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of outstanding items.
[1120] 8. User Emotion Recognition
[1121] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and adjusts the output based on that information, for example, if the user is in a positive state.
[1122] 9. Optimize your output
[1123] The server optimizes the contents of the created business model diagram and risk checklist based on the user's feelings.
[1124] 10. Return to User
[1125] The server provides the user with an optimized business model diagram and a risk checklist, and the user can make effective proposals and plans based on these.
[1126] This system allows users to easily input information, and the system automatically generates and provides business model diagrams and risk checklists. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, the output is optimized to the user's current emotions, improving the accuracy and efficiency of proposals and plans.
[1127] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1128] Step 1:
[1129] Users use a web-based chat interface or voice input interface to input information for service planning and system development proposals, such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."
[1130] Step 2:
[1131] The server acquires the information entered by the user, such as data entered through a chat interface or a voice input interface, and temporarily stores the data for further analysis.
[1132] Step 3:
[1133] The server analyzes the acquired text data using natural language processing (NLP) technology. This analysis extracts entities (characters) from the text. For example, "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer" are identified as entities.
[1134] Step 4:
[1135] The server analyzes the relationships between the extracted entities, for example, identifying relationships such as "Supplier A supplies raw materials to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B transports goods to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C sells goods to consumers."
[1136] Step 5:
[1137] The server analyzes data flows between entities. This analysis identifies which data flows from which entity to which entity. For example, data flows such as "raw material data moves from supplier A to logistics partner B," "product data moves from logistics partner B to sales agent C," and "sales data moves from sales agent C to consumers."
[1138] Step 6:
[1139] The server analyzes the contractual arrangements between each entity, for example, identifying a "supply contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," a "transportation contract between logistics partner B and distributor C," and a "sales contract between distributor C and a consumer."
[1140] Step 7:
[1141] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on the analysis results, which visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows, and can be output in formats such as Google Slides.
[1142] Step 8:
[1143] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of outstanding issues to complement the business model diagram, thereby clarifying the risks and outstanding issues that users should consider when planning or proposing.
[1144] Step 9:
[1145] The server analyzes the user's input information using an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotional state, which may include positive, negative, or neutral emotions.
[1146] Step 10:
[1147] The server optimizes the content and structure of the generated business model diagram and risk checklist based on the user's emotional state recognized by the emotion engine. For example, if the user's emotion is positive, the provided output will include more encouraging information, while if the user's emotion is negative, the server will emphasize information that supports problem solving.
[1148] Step 11:
[1149] The server provides users with optimized business models and risk checklists, which can then be downloaded as Google Slides files for use in meetings and proposals.
[1150] As a concrete example, when a user inputs information for a proposed supply chain management system, he / she inputs "Supplier A provides raw materials, logistics partner B is responsible for transportation, and sales agent C sells the products to consumers" in step 1. The server processes steps 2 to 10 and finally provides an optimized business model diagram and risk checklist.

[1369] The server provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, with the option to export it as a Google Slides file.
[1370] Specific examples
[1371] As a specific example, consider the case where information on a proposed supply chain management system is input.
[1372] scene:
[1373] A user enters, "Supplier A provides the raw materials, logistics partner B handles transportation, and distributor C sells the goods to consumers."
[1374] Specific processing flow:
[1375] 1. Getting User Input
[1376] The user enters the above information through the chat interface.
[1377] 2. Text Analysis
[1378] The server analyzes the input information using natural language processing (NLP) technology and extracts entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer."
[1379] 3. Extracting Relationships
[1380] The server analyzes the relationships between entities and identifies relationships such as "Supplier A supplies to logistics partner B," "Logistics partner B transports to distributor C," and "Distributor C sells to consumers."
[1381] 4. Data flow analysis
[1382] The server analyzes the data flow between entities and determines that data flows from "Supplier A to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C to Consumer."
[1383] 5. Analysis of contract type
[1384] The server identifies "a contract between Supplier A and Logistics Partner B," "a contract between Logistics Partner B and Distributor C," and "a contract between Distributor C and the Consumer."

[1389] 8. Return to User
[1390] The server provides the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user, who can then use this information to efficiently plan services and propose system development.
[1391] This allows users to easily input information, and the system automatically generates and provides business model diagrams and risk checklists, preventing oversights when creating frameworks and improving the accuracy and efficiency of service plans and system development proposals.
[1392] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1393] Step 1:
[1394] Users use a web-based chat interface or voice input interface to input information for service planning or system development proposals, including specific details such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, logistics partner B will handle the transportation, and sales agent C will sell the products to consumers."
[1395] Step 2:
[1396] The server acquires the information entered by the user, such as data entered through a chat interface or a voice input interface, and temporarily stores the data for further analysis.
[1397] Step 3:
[1398] The server analyzes the acquired text data using natural language processing (NLP) technology. This analysis extracts entities (characters) from the text. Specific entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer" are identified.
[1399] Step 4:
[1400] The server extracts relationships between the analyzed entities, such as "Supplier A supplies to logistics partner B," "Logistics partner B transports to sales agent C," and "Sales agent C sells to consumers."
[1401] Step 5:
[1402] The server analyzes the data flow between entities. This analysis identifies which data flows from which entity to which entity. For example, data flows from "Supplier A to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C to Consumer."
[1403] Step 6:
[1404] The server analyzes the contract type between each entity, and identifies contract types such as "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and a consumer."
[1405] Step 7:
[1406] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on the analysis results, which visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows, and can be output in formats such as Google Slides.
[1407] Step 8:
[1408] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of outstanding issues to complement the business model diagram, thereby clarifying the risks and outstanding issues that users should consider when planning or proposing a project.
[1409] Step 9:
[1410] The server then provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, who can then download this information as a Google Slides file for use in meetings or to prepare proposals.
[1411] As a concrete example, let's consider the case of inputting information for a proposed supply chain management system. A user would enter through a chat interface, "Supplier A provides raw materials, logistics partner B handles transportation, and distributor C sells the products to consumers." The server retrieves this information and uses NLP technology to analyze entities, their relationships, and data flows. It then automatically generates a business model diagram and risk checklist, which are presented to the user in Google Slides format.
[1412] Example 1
[1413] Next, a description will be given of 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."
[1414] In conventional service planning and system development proposals, the task of organizing and visualizing the necessary information requires a great deal of time and effort. Furthermore, insufficient information organization and visualization increases the likelihood of oversights and misunderstandings, making risk management difficult. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can automatically analyze the information provided by users, automatically generate business model diagrams and risk checklists, and visualize the information efficiently and accurately.
[1415] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1416] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring information input by a user, means for analyzing the acquired information using natural language processing technology, and means for automatically generating a business model diagram including entities, their relationships, and data flows, and a risk checklist based on the analyzed information. This makes it possible to efficiently and accurately analyze information provided by a user and quickly create a visually represented business model diagram and risk checklist.
[1417] A "user" is an entity that utilizes the system to provide information and receive visualized business models and risk checklists.
[1418] The "server" is a computer system that analyzes information obtained from users and generates business model diagrams and risk checklists.
[1419] "Information" refers to text and data related to service plans and system development proposals entered by users.
[1420] "Natural language processing technology" is a set of algorithms and techniques used to analyze input information and extract entities and relationships.
[1421] "Entity" refers to a character, organization, object, concept, etc. that is a major element in a business model diagram.
[1422] A "relationship" represents the interaction or association between entities, and clarifies their roles and connections in a business process.
[1423] "Data flow" refers to the flow of data exchanged between entities, and indicates the path along which information travels.
[1424] A "business model diagram" is a visual representation of entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[1425] A "risk checklist" is a list of potential risks and unresolved issues that is generated to complement a business model diagram.
[1426] "Output means" refers to a method or tool for providing the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user.
[1427] This invention is a system that allows users to easily organize and visualize information necessary for planning services, proposing system development, planning seminars and exhibitions, etc. This system acquires input information from the user, analyzes that information, and automatically generates a business model diagram and risk checklist that includes the characters, their relationships, and data flows, and provides them to the user.
[1428] Specifically, the following hardware and software are used:
[1429] Hardware: Servers and terminals (PCs, smartphones)
[1430] Software: Natural Language Processing (NLP) libraries (SpaCy, NLTK), relation extraction models, visualization tools (matplotlib, Graphviz), Google Slides
[1431] Users can use their devices to provide information for service planning and system development proposals through a web-based chat interface or voice input interface. For example, they can enter text such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."
[1432] The server receives the input text data and performs natural language processing using SpaCy and NLTK. First, it tokenizes the text data and then performs entity recognition to extract entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer."
[1433] The server then uses the relationship extraction model to analyze the relationships between entities, such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B transports to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C sells to consumers."
[1434] The server then analyzes the data flow of the entities by referring to business rules and standard data flow diagram templates, identifying the data flow from "Supplier A to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C to Consumer."
[1435] The server also retrieves contract information from a pre-registered database and analyzes the contract type between each entity. For example, it identifies "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and a consumer."
[1436] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on these analysis results and outputs it in Google Slides format, which visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[1437] Additionally, the server generates risk checklists and backlogs, which are used to identify and manage risks in service planning and system development.
[1438] Finally, the server provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, including the option to provide them as downloadable files in Google Slides format, which the user can download and use via their device.
[1439] For example, if a user enters "Supplier A provides raw materials, logistics partner B handles transportation, and distributor C sells products to consumers," the system will automatically analyze the entities, their relationships, and data flows, and based on that, generate a business model diagram and risk checklist, which it will provide to the user.
[1440] This allows users to easily input information, and the system automatically generates and provides business model diagrams and risk checklists, preventing oversights when creating frameworks and improving the accuracy and efficiency of service plans and system development proposals.
[1441] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1442] Step 1:
[1443] A user uses a terminal to access a web-based chat interface or voice input interface and inputs the information required for service planning or system development proposals. The input information is sent to the server as text data. For example, a user might input, "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will be responsible for transportation." This text data becomes the input data for the next analysis step.
[1444] Step 2:
[1445] The server analyzes the received text data using a natural language processing tool (e.g., SpaCy or NLTK). First, the server tokenizes the text and then performs entity recognition. In this process, entity information such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," and "Sales Agent C" is extracted from the text data. The extracted entity information becomes the input data for the next relationship analysis step.
[1446] Step 3:
[1447] The server applies a relationship extraction model to analyze the relationships between the extracted entities. For example, it identifies relationships such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B," "Logistics Partner B transports to Sales Agent C," and "Sales Agent C sells to consumers." The analyzed relationship information becomes input data for the next data flow analysis step.
[1448] Step 4:
[1449] The server analyzes the data flow between entities by referring to business rules and standard data flow diagram templates. For example, it identifies data flows such as "from supplier A to logistics partner B," "from logistics partner B to sales agent C," and "from sales agent C to consumers." The analyzed data flow information becomes input data for the next step, contract form analysis.
[1450] Step 5:
[1451] The server retrieves contract information from a pre-registered database and analyzes the contract type between each entity. For example, it identifies "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B," "a contract between logistics partner B and sales agent C," and "a contract between sales agent C and the consumer." The analyzed contract type information becomes input data for the next business model diagram generation step.
[1452] Step 6:
[1453] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on these analysis results. Specifically, it creates a diagram in Google Slides format that visually represents entities, relationships, data flows, and contract types. This generated business model diagram serves as input data for the next step, risk checklist generation.
[1454] Step 7:
[1455] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of unsorted items to complement the business model diagram. The generated risk checklist becomes input data for the next step of returning the item to the user.
[1456] Step 8:
[1457] The server provides the generated business model and risk checklist to the user, including the option to output them as Google Slides files with a download link. Users can download and use these materials via their devices.
[1458] (Application example 1)
[1459] 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."
[1460] In today's business environment, efficient organization and visualization of large amounts of information is required to quickly and accurately plan services and propose system development. However, manually organizing information and creating business model diagrams and risk checklists takes time and effort, so more efficient methods are needed. Furthermore, if users could perform these tasks using smartphones, business efficiency could be further improved.
[1461] 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.

[1468] A "business model diagram" is a diagram that visually represents the characters, their relationships, data flow, etc., and serves as the basis for service planning and system development proposals.
[1469] A "risk checklist" is a list of risks and matters to be considered that are identified based on the business model diagram, and is used to improve the accuracy and efficiency of proposals.
[1470] A "generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence model that generates business model diagrams and risk checklists based on user-entered information.
[1471] A "prompt sentence" is an input sentence that causes the generative AI model to extract and generate specific information, and is automatically generated by the system.
[1472] "Smartphone provision" refers to the means of providing the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user via a smartphone.
[1473] The present invention relates to a system that allows users to quickly and efficiently plan services and propose system development. This system acquires information entered by the user, analyzes it, automatically generates a business model diagram and a risk checklist, and provides them to the user via a smartphone.
[1474] The system is comprised of the following hardware and software:
[1475] 1. Hardware:
[1476] Smartphone (iOS / Android)
[1477] Cloud Server
[1478] 2. Software:
[1479] Google Cloud Natural Language API (Natural Language Processing)
[1480] Google BigQuery (data analysis)
[1481] Google Slides API (Business model generation)
[1482] Google Sheets API (risk checklist generation)
[1483] The specific processing flow of the system:
[1484] 1. Getting user input:
[1485] Users use the chat interface or voice input function of their smartphone to input the information needed to plan a service or propose a system development, for example, "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."
[1486] 2. Text Analysis:
[1487] The smartphone sends the acquired input information to a cloud server, which uses the Google Cloud Natural Language API to analyze the input information and extract the characters and their relationships. For example, it identifies entities such as "Supplier A," "Logistics Partner B," "Sales Agent C," and "Consumer."
[1488] 3. Relationship and data flow analysis:
[1489] The server uses Google BigQuery to analyze the relationships and data flows between the extracted entities, identifying relationships such as "Supplier A supplies to Logistics Partner B, who transports to Distributor C."
[1490] 4. Analysis of contract type:
[1491] In parallel with the relationship analysis, the contractual arrangements between each entity are also identified, such as "a contract between supplier A and logistics partner B."
[1492] 5. Generate a Business Model:
[1493] Based on the analysis results, the server uses the Google Slides API to generate a business model diagram, which is a visual representation of entities, their relationships, and data flows.
[1494] 6. Generate a risk checklist:
[1495] Additionally, the server uses Google Sheets API to generate a risk checklist and a list of outstanding items based on the business model.
[1496] 7. Return to User:
[1497] The generated business model diagram and risk checklist are provided to users via their smartphones, allowing them to instantly check the business model diagram and risk checklist on their smartphones, improving the accuracy and efficiency of service planning and system development proposals.
[1498] Use the following prompt as an example:
[1499] "Supplier A provides raw materials and logistics partner B handles transportation. Analyze this information and generate a business model diagram with actors, their relationships, and data flows, along with a risk checklist."
[1500] Based on such prompts, the generative AI model can automatically generate a business model diagram and a risk checklist, significantly improving the user's work efficiency.
[1501] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1502] Step 1:
[1503] Users use their smartphones to input the information necessary for service planning and system development proposals through a chat interface or voice input function. This information becomes the initial data for the system. For example, they might input, "The supplier will provide the raw materials, and the shipping company will be responsible for transportation." The input data is captured on the smartphone and sent to the cloud server.
[1504] Step 2:
[1505] The server analyzes the acquired user input using the Google Cloud Natural Language API. If the input data is in text format, the API performs syntactic analysis of the text and extracts entities (characters) in the sentence. Specifically, entities such as "supplier," "transport company," "sales agent," and "consumer" are identified. The data input is text data, and the output is a list of entities.
[1506] Step 3:
[1507] The server uses Google BigQuery to analyze the relationships and data flows between the extracted entities. For example, it clarifies relationships such as "Suppliers supply raw materials to transport companies, and transport companies send goods to sales agents." The input required for analysis is a list of entities, and the output is structured data that shows the relationships and data flows.
[1508] Step 4:
[1509] The server also simultaneously analyzes the contract type. After identifying the relationships between entities, it identifies the contract type between each entity, identifying, for example, a "contract between a supplier and a shipping company." The input required for this analysis is relationship data, and the output is structured data including the contract type.
[1510] Step 5:
[1511] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a business model using the Google Slides API. A business model visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows. The input is the analyzed data, and the output is a business model in Google Slides format.
[1512] Step 6:
[1513] The server uses the Google Sheets API to generate a risk checklist and a list of outstanding items based on the business model. The risk checklist lists potential risks and items to be considered in the service plan. The input is the business model data, and the output is a checklist in Google Sheets format.
[1514] Step 7:
[1515] The server provides the generated business model diagram and risk checklist to the user via smartphone. The user can check and download this data on their smartphone. Ultimately, the user can use the generated materials to create service plans and system development proposals.
[1516] 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.
[1517] This invention relates to a system that acquires input information from users, analyzes it, and automatically generates a business model diagram including the characters, their relationships, and data flows, and also provides a risk checklist. Furthermore, by integrating an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, it has the function of optimizing output based on the user's emotions.

Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, the output is optimized to the user's current emotions, improving the accuracy and efficiency of proposals and plans.
[1565] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1566] Step 1:
[1567] Users use a web-based chat interface or voice input interface to input information for service planning and system development proposals, such as "Supplier A will provide the raw materials, and logistics partner B will handle the transportation."

[1578] Step 7:
[1579] The server automatically generates a business model diagram based on the analysis results, which visually represents entities, their relationships, and data flows, and can be output in formats such as Google Slides.
[1580] Step 8:
[1581] The server generates a risk checklist and a list of outstanding issues to complement the business model diagram, thereby clarifying the risks and outstanding issues that users should consider when planning or proposing.
[1582] Step 9:
[1583] The server analyzes the user's input information using an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotional state, which may include positive, negative, or neutral emotions.
[1584] Step 10:
[1585] The server optimizes the content and structure of the generated business model diagram and risk checklist based on the user's emotional state recognized by the emotion engine. For example, if the user's emotion is positive, the provided output will include more encouraging information, while if the user's emotion is negative, the server will emphasize information that supports problem solving.
[1586] Step 11:
[1587] The server provides users with optimized business models and risk checklists, which can then be downloaded as Google Slides files for use in meetings and proposals.
[1588] As a concrete example, when a user inputs information for a proposed supply chain management system, he / she inputs "Supplier A provides raw materials, logistics partner B is responsible for transportation, and sales agent C sells the products to consumers" in step 1. The server processes steps 2 to 10 and finally provides an optimized business model diagram and risk checklist.

[1744] In this way, operation managers can easily understand operation plans and risks, and provide optimal information according to the emotional state of the driver at the time.
[1745] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1746] Step 1:
[1747] Getting User Input
[1748] Users launch the smartphone application and enter their trip plan using a chat interface or voice input. In the latter case, the device converts the speech into text using the Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API, resulting in a text version of the trip plan.
[1749] Step 2:

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.
[1775] 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.
[1776] 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.
[1777] 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.
[1778] 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.
[1779] 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).
[1780] 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.
[1781] 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."
[1782] 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.
[1783] 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).
[1784] 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.
[1785] 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.
[1786] 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.
[1787] 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.
[1788] 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.
[1789] 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.
[1790] 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.
[1791] 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.
