[0140] Example 1
[0141] 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."
[0142] Conventional communication systems have the problem that it is difficult to provide a conversation partner in real time and lack the functionality to effectively reflect the user's past conversation content, which hinders the improvement of the user experience. Furthermore, there is no mechanism for reflecting user feedback in the AI model, making it difficult to maintain and improve call quality.
[0143] 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.
[0144] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving basic user information, means for using generative artificial intelligence to conduct phone calls with the user, and means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and incorporating it into the next conversation. This allows the user to find someone to talk to in real time, and the content of the past conversations can be used for the next call, improving the user experience. The server also includes means for establishing a call with a generative artificial intelligence model selected by the user, means for recording the content of the call in real time and saving it in a format that can be referenced later, and means for receiving feedback from the user after the call ends and using it to improve the artificial intelligence model. This allows the feedback to be incorporated into the artificial intelligence model, enabling the maintenance and improvement of call quality.
[0145] "Basic information" is data entered by the user for personal identification and individualization, such as name, age, hobbies, etc.
[0146] "Generative AI" is an AI system that generates responses in natural language in response to input from a user.
[0147] "Call" refers to interactive communication with a user via generative artificial intelligence.
[0148] "Profile data" is a data set that includes basic information about a user and the contents of past conversations.
[0149] A "call session" is a continuous process of interaction with a user conducted using generative artificial intelligence.
[0150] "Real-time" refers to interactions being processed and reacted to the instant they are sent or received.
[0151] "Feedback" refers to information such as evaluations, impressions, and requests for improvement provided by users after a call has ended.
[0152] A "database" is an information repository where user profile data and conversations are stored.
[0153] "Model improvement" is the process of improving the response accuracy and quality of generative artificial intelligence based on feedback from users.
[0154] The "selected generative artificial intelligence model" is the generative artificial intelligence algorithm that is most suitable for the application specified by the user.
[0155] The present invention is a system that allows users to easily find someone to talk to using a generative AI selected by the user. This system consists of a user terminal, a server, and a generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT). The following describes the specific steps and operation methods for implementing the present invention.

Specific embodiments for implementing this invention are described below.
[0269] System configuration
[0270] The system consists of the following main components:
[0271] 1. User Device
[0272] Using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, users can access virtual stores and talk to AI.
[0273] 2. Server
[0274] A high-performance database server is used to store and manage basic user information, purchase history, past conversations, etc. A cloud-based database such as AWS RDS is suitable for the server.
[0275] 3. Generative Artificial Intelligence
[0276] Using OpenAI's ChatGPT API, the system generates responses to users' real-time questions. This AI generates appropriate responses based on user input, maintaining the continuity of the conversation.
[0277] Processing Flow
[0278] 1. User Registration and Profile Settings
[0279] The application is installed on the user's device and launched. The user enters basic information such as name, age, hobbies, and purchasing history. This data is sent to the server and stored in a database.
[0280] 2. AI selection and call initiation
[0281] The user selects "Customer Support" from the application's home screen and taps the "Start Call" button. The server loads the user's profile data and loads the appropriate generative artificial intelligence model.
[0282] 3. Conversation management and data recording
[0283] The generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) responds to user questions and requests in real time. For example, if a user asks, "What are the features of this smartphone?", the AI will respond, "This smartphone is equipped with a high-resolution camera, a state-of-the-art processor, and boasts a long battery life.

[0461] Example 2
[0462] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0463] Conventional dialogue systems using generative AI generally respond without considering the user's emotions, which prevents them from providing sufficient personalization or emotional support. Furthermore, they fail to fully utilize past conversations, making it difficult to build a lasting relationship with the user. Furthermore, they lack a mechanism for incorporating user feedback into system improvements.
[0464] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0465] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting and saving basic user information, a means for using generative artificial intelligence to communicate with the user, a means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and reflecting that content in the next conversation, and a means for analyzing the user's emotions and reflecting that content in the conversation. This enables personalized dialogue that understands emotions, providing psychological support to the user and building a lasting relationship. Furthermore, user feedback can be used to improve the artificial intelligence model, thereby improving system performance.
[0466] "Basic user information" is data indicating personal attributes such as the user's name, age, hobbies, etc.
[0467] "Generative AI" refers to an AI system that uses natural language processing to interact with users, such as ChatGPT.
[0468] "Means for communicating with the user" refers to a mechanism for two-way communication with the user via voice or text via generative artificial intelligence.
[0469] "Means of remembering the content of a user's past conversations and reflecting it in the next conversation" is a function that stores records of past conversations with the user in a database and uses that information to make the content of the next conversation more personalized.
[0470] "Means for analyzing emotions and reflecting them in the content of the call" refers to a mechanism that reads emotions from the user's voice and text and incorporates the results into the generative AI's response, thereby enabling a dialogue that is sensitive to the user's emotions.
[0471] "Personalized dialogue" refers to generating optimal responses for a user by taking into account the user's individual information, past conversations, emotional state, etc.
[0472] "Feedback" refers to the thoughts and opinions provided by users after a call ends, and is data used to improve the performance of the system and generative artificial intelligence.
[0473] The present invention relates to a system that understands user emotions and provides more personalized interactions. This system consists of a user terminal, a server, a generative artificial intelligence (e.g., ChatGPT), and an emotion engine.
[0474] Overall system overview
[0475] Users install and launch a dedicated application using a network-connected device such as a smartphone or tablet. The application inputs and saves the user's basic information and communicates with the user via a generative AI. It also uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and reflects them in the generative AI's responses.
[0476] User registration and profile settings
[0477] Through the application, users enter basic information such as name, age, hobbies, etc. This information is sent via the device to the server, which verifies the information received and stores it in a database to create a detailed user profile.
[0478] AI selection and call initiation
[0479] From the app's home screen, users select the AI they want to talk to from among several AI models (such as chat AI, consultation AI, and learning support AI), and tap the "Start Call" button. The device sends this information and a call start request to the server, which then loads the appropriate generative AI model and establishes a call session. Additionally, the user's profile data and past conversation records are also loaded.
[0480] Use of emotion engine
[0481] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and text input in real time to generate emotional data. This allows the server to detect the user's emotions, such as stress or joy, and provides this information to the generative AI. The generative AI then takes in this emotional data and generates an appropriate response.
[0482] Specific examples
[0483] For example, consider a case where a user is suffering from insomnia. The user opens the application, selects a consultation AI, and starts a call.
[0484] 1. A user says, "Work has been so stressful lately that I can't sleep."
[0485] 2. The emotion engine detects the user's stress and fatigue from this statement.
[0486] 3. The generative AI responds, "That's tough. What exactly is stressing you out?"
[0487] 4. The server records this conversation and emotion data and stores it for reference during the next call.
[0488] Ending a call and feedback
[0489] When the call ends, the user taps the "End Call" button and optionally enters their thoughts and feedback. The device sends the end request and feedback information to the server, which then ends the call session and stores the end information in a database. The server also receives user feedback and uses it to improve the generative AI model and emotion engine.
[0490] Example prompts to input to the generative AI model
[0491] prompt:
[0492] "Please use the template below to respond to a user who is suffering from insomnia. Detect stress or fatigue from the user's tone of voice and choice of words, and engage in appropriate dialogue."
[0493] 1. User: "I've been so stressed out at work lately that I can't sleep."
[0494] 2. Emotion engine: Detects stress and fatigue.
[0495] 3. Generative AI: "That sounds tough. What exactly is stressing you out?"
[0496] In this way, the system according to the present invention can understand the user's emotions and provide more appropriate interactions.

[0563] (Application example 2)
[0564] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0565] Conventional AI dialogue systems generate uniform responses without considering the user's emotional state, resulting in low dialogue quality and insufficient user satisfaction. Furthermore, in customer support at physical stores, they are unable to provide personalized services that reflect the customer's real-time emotional state.
[0566] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[0567] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving basic information about the user, means for using a generative artificial intelligence to have a dialogue with the user, means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and reflecting that content in the next conversation, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion analysis engine, and means for adjusting the response of the generative artificial intelligence based on the analyzed emotional state. This enables personalized responses that take into account the individual emotional state of the user, thereby providing higher levels of satisfaction in customer support at physical stores.
[0568] "Basic user information" refers to individual information such as the user's name, age, and hobbies.
[0569] "Generative AI" is AI that generates natural dialogue based on user input, such as systems like ChatGPT.
[0570] "Means for dialogue" refers to an interface or system that allows real-time conversations and message exchanges between the user and generative AI.
[0571] "Means for storing the contents of a user's past conversations and reflecting them in the next conversation" refers to a means for saving the contents of previous conversations with a user and using them to improve the next conversation.
[0572] An "emotion analysis engine" is an engine that analyzes the user's emotional state from their voice or text input and outputs the results.
[0573] The "means for adjusting the response" is a means for changing the dialogue content generated by the generative artificial intelligence based on the output results of the emotion analysis engine, and providing an appropriate response.
[0574] A "brick and mortar store" is a commercial establishment or service location located in a physical location.
[0575] "Customer support" refers to support activities to respond to customer questions and inquiries and resolve problems.
[0576] The present invention is a system for providing customer support in brick-and-mortar stores. In the specific embodiment shown below, real-time dialogue is provided using a combination of generative artificial intelligence and an emotion analysis engine, using a terminal such as a smartphone, tablet, or information robot installed in the store.
[0577] User registration and profile settings
[0578] Users install the application on their smartphones or tablets and enter basic information such as their name, age, purchase history, hobbies, etc. This information is sent from the device to a server and stored in a database, creating a detailed profile for each user.
[0579] Starting a conversation
[0580] The user selects a customer support AI from the application's home screen and taps the "Start Dialogue" button. The device sends the selected AI information and a dialogue start request to the server, requesting a dialogue session. The server loads an appropriate generative AI model and establishes a dialogue session. It also loads the user's profile and past conversation records to use in the next dialogue.
[0581] Utilizing a sentiment analysis engine
[0582] The emotion analysis engine analyzes emotions from the user's voice and text input and sends the results to the server in real time. The generative AI then takes this emotional data and generates an appropriate response. For example, if a user expresses confusion or dissatisfaction, a response incorporating that emotion will be provided, allowing the user to receive more satisfying support.
[0583] Conversation progression and data recording
[0584] The server records all conversations in real time and stores them in a database. The recorded conversation data and emotion data are used in subsequent conversations. In particular, past problem history and complaint information are reflected in the next assistance, allowing for higher quality service.
[0585] Closing the conversation and feedback
[0586] After the dialogue is finished, the user taps the "End dialogue" button, and an end request is sent to the server. If necessary, the user can enter their thoughts or feedback, which is also sent to the server. The server stores the end information in a database and uses the feedback information to improve the generative AI model and sentiment analysis engine.
[0587] Hardware and Software Configuration
[0588] The system of the present invention uses the following hardware and software.
[0589] Hardware: Smartphones, tablets, information robots
[0590] Software: Generative AI model (ChatGPT), emotion analysis engine (EmotionEngine), database (SQLite), server program
[0591] Suggested concrete examples
[0592] For example, if a user says in a store, "Tell me more about this product," the following prompt sentence can be generated and responded to:
[0593] Input prompt for the generative AI model:
[0594] My name is Taro Sato. I'm interested in music and painting. My current emotion is joy. Please tell me more about this product.
[0595] Based on this prompt, the generative AI will return an appropriate response such as, "This product is a cutting-edge music player that combines high sound quality with ease of use. It is especially recommended for music lovers!" This allows users to obtain appropriate information quickly, improving satisfaction.
[0596] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0597] Step 1:
[0598] The user installs the application on the terminal and starts the application.
[0599] Specific operation: After downloading the application, the user enters basic information such as name, age, and hobbies.
[0600] Input and Output: The user's basic information is entered and sent by the device to the server, which stores this information in a database and creates a profile for each user.
[0601] Step 2:
[0602] The user selects the customer support AI from the application's home screen and taps the "Start conversation" button.
[0603] Specific operation: The user selects the AI they want to interact with on the home screen and sends a request to start interacting.
[0604] Input and Output: The device receives the user's selection information and a request to initiate a dialogue, which it then sends to the server. The server loads the generative AI model and establishes a dialogue session. It also loads the user's profile data and past conversation records.
[0605] Step 3:
[0606] The emotion analysis engine analyzes emotions from the user's voice and text input and sends the results to the server.
[0607] Specific operation: The user's voice and text are input into an emotion analysis engine, which analyzes their emotional state (happiness, confusion, frustration, etc.).
[0608] Input and output: User voice and text are input, and the emotion analysis engine analyzes and outputs emotional data. This is received by the server.
[0609] Step 4:
[0610] Generative AI generates appropriate responses for users based on data from the sentiment analysis engine.
[0611] How it works: Emotional data is fed into a generative AI model to generate personalized responses for the user.
[0612] Input and output: Emotional data from the sentiment analysis engine is input, and the generative AI outputs an appropriate response. For example, in response to a user's input such as "Tell me more about this product," the system generates a response such as "This product is a cutting-edge music player that combines high sound quality with ease of use."
[0613] Step 5:
[0614] The server records all conversations in real time and stores them in a database.
[0615] Specific operation: The dialogue content and emotion data are sent to the server in real time and recorded in a database.
[0616] Input and output: The user's dialogue and emotional data are input and stored in a database as a record, which can then be used in future dialogues.
[0617] Step 6:
[0618] After the conversation is over, the user taps the "End conversation" button to send a request to the server to end the conversation. If necessary, the user can enter their thoughts or feedback.
[0619] Specific operation: After the user finishes the interaction, he / she sends an end request and feedback information.
[0620] Input and Output: User exit requests and feedback are input and stored on the server. Feedback information is used to improve the generative artificial intelligence and sentiment analysis engine.
[0621] 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.
[0622] 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.

[0744] Example 1
[0745] 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."
[0746] Conventional communication systems have the problem that it is difficult to provide a conversation partner in real time and lack the functionality to effectively reflect the user's past conversation content, which hinders the improvement of the user experience. Furthermore, there is no mechanism for reflecting user feedback in the AI model, making it difficult to maintain and improve call quality.
[0747] 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.
[0748] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving basic user information, means for using generative artificial intelligence to conduct phone calls with the user, and means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and incorporating it into the next conversation. This allows the user to find someone to talk to in real time, and the content of the past conversations can be used for the next call, improving the user experience. The server also includes means for establishing a call with a generative artificial intelligence model selected by the user, means for recording the content of the call in real time and saving it in a format that can be referenced later, and means for receiving feedback from the user after the call ends and using it to improve the artificial intelligence model. This allows the feedback to be incorporated into the artificial intelligence model, enabling the maintenance and improvement of call quality.
[0749] "Basic information" is data entered by the user for personal identification and individualization, such as name, age, hobbies, etc.
[0750] "Generative AI" is an AI system that generates responses in natural language in response to input from a user.
[0751] "Call" refers to interactive communication with a user via generative artificial intelligence.
[0752] "Profile data" is a data set that includes basic information about a user and the contents of past conversations.
[0753] A "call session" is a continuous process of interaction with a user conducted using generative artificial intelligence.
[0754] "Real-time" refers to interactions being processed and reacted to the instant they are sent or received.
[0755] "Feedback" refers to information such as evaluations, impressions, and requests for improvement provided by users after a call has ended.
[0756] A "database" is an information repository where user profile data and conversations are stored.
[0757] "Model improvement" is the process of improving the response accuracy and quality of generative artificial intelligence based on feedback from users.
[0758] The "selected generative artificial intelligence model" is the generative artificial intelligence algorithm that is most suitable for the application specified by the user.
[0759] The present invention is a system that allows users to easily find someone to talk to using a generative AI selected by the user.

[0860] In today's world, when users purchase products online, they need a lot of information, and if they do not receive appropriate support, their motivation to purchase decreases. Furthermore, if customers cannot resolve specific questions about a product, they risk missing out on a purchasing opportunity. Furthermore, online stores face the challenge of finding personalized product recommendations and support for each individual customer.
[0861] 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.
[0862] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving basic information about the user, means for using generative artificial intelligence to communicate with the user, means for storing the content of past conversations with the user and reflecting this in the next conversation, means for using generative artificial intelligence selected by the user to provide product-related questions and advice in real time within a virtual store, means for recommending optimal products to the user based on their purchase history and the content of past conversations, and means for collecting feedback and improving support quality. This allows users to receive prompt and accurate support in real time when making online purchases, increasing their desire to purchase and enabling optimal product recommendations.
[0863] "Basic user information" refers to information necessary to form an individual profile, such as the user's name, age, and purchase history.
[0864] "Generative AI" is an AI system that generates appropriate responses in real time based on user input.
[0865] "Means for making calls" refers to a means of communication that allows the generative artificial intelligence and the user to interact in real time.
[0866] "Means for remembering the content of past conversations and reflecting it in the next conversation" refers to a means for providing continuous support by saving the content of the previous conversation and referring to it in the next conversation.
[0867] A "virtual store" is an online shopping environment used via the Internet where users can browse and purchase products.
[0868] The "means for providing product-related questions and advice in real time" is an interactive support system that can answer questions about products and how to use them on the spot when users ask questions within the virtual store.
[0869] "Purchase history" is a record of products that a user has purchased in the past.
[0870] "Means for recommending optimal products to users based on past conversation content" refers to a system that suggests products that meet individual user needs based on the user's past conversations and behavioral history.
[0871] "Means for collecting feedback and improving support quality" refers to a means for incorporating user evaluations and opinions into the system and using them to improve the performance and response accuracy of the generative artificial intelligence.
[0872] This invention is a system that provides optimal support to users in a virtual store by inputting and saving basic information about the user, using generative artificial intelligence to communicate with the user, and storing the content of past conversations and reflecting it in the next conversation. Specific embodiments for implementing this invention are described below.
[0873] System configuration
[0874] The system consists of the following main components:
[0875] 1. User Device
[0876] Using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, users can access virtual stores and talk to AI.
[0877] 2. Server
[0878] A high-performance database server is used to store and manage basic user information, purchase history, past conversations, etc. A cloud-based database such as AWS RDS is suitable for the server.
[0879] 3. Generative Artificial Intelligence
[0880] Using OpenAI's ChatGPT API, the system generates responses to users' real-time questions. This AI generates appropriate responses based on user input, maintaining the continuity of the conversation.
[0881] Processing Flow
[0882] 1. User Registration and Profile Settings
[0883] The application is installed on the user's device and launched. The user enters basic information such as name, age, hobbies, and purchasing history. This data is sent to the server and stored in a database.
[0884] 2. AI selection and call initiation
[0885] The user selects "Customer Support" from the application's home screen and taps the "Start Call" button. The server loads the user's profile data and loads the appropriate generative artificial intelligence model.
[0886] 3. Conversation management and data recording
[0887] The generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) responds to user questions and requests in real time. For example, if a user asks, "What are the features of this smartphone?", the AI will respond, "This smartphone is equipped with a high-resolution camera, a state-of-the-art processor, and boasts a long battery life. It is also waterproof."
[0888] 4. Call End and Feedback

[1065] Example 2
[1066] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1067] Conventional dialogue systems using generative AI generally respond without considering the user's emotions, which prevents them from providing sufficient personalization or emotional support. Furthermore, they fail to fully utilize past conversations, making it difficult to build a lasting relationship with the user. Furthermore, they lack a mechanism for incorporating user feedback into system improvements.
[1068] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1069] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting and saving basic user information, a means for using generative artificial intelligence to communicate with the user, a means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and reflecting that content in the next conversation, and a means for analyzing the user's emotions and reflecting that content in the conversation. This enables personalized dialogue that understands emotions, providing psychological support to the user and building a lasting relationship. Furthermore, user feedback can be used to improve the artificial intelligence model, thereby improving system performance.
[1070] "Basic user information" is data indicating personal attributes such as the user's name, age, hobbies, etc.
[1071] "Generative AI" refers to an AI system that uses natural language processing to interact with users, such as ChatGPT.
[1072] "Means for communicating with the user" refers to a mechanism for two-way communication with the user via voice or text via generative artificial intelligence.
[1073] "Means of remembering the content of a user's past conversations and reflecting it in the next conversation" is a function that stores records of past conversations with the user in a database and uses that information to make the content of the next conversation more personalized.
[1074] "Means for analyzing emotions and reflecting them in the content of the call" refers to a mechanism that reads emotions from the user's voice and text and incorporates the results into the generative AI's response, thereby enabling a dialogue that is sensitive to the user's emotions.
[1075] "Personalized dialogue" refers to generating optimal responses for a user by taking into account the user's individual information, past conversations, emotional state, etc.
[1076] "Feedback" refers to the thoughts and opinions provided by users after a call ends, and is data used to improve the performance of the system and generative artificial intelligence.
[1077] The present invention relates to a system that understands user emotions and provides more personalized interactions. This system consists of a user terminal, a server, a generative artificial intelligence (e.g., ChatGPT), and an emotion engine.
[1078] Overall system overview
[1079] Users install and launch a dedicated application using a network-connected device such as a smartphone or tablet. The application inputs and saves the user's basic information and communicates with the user via a generative AI. It also uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and reflects them in the generative AI's responses.
[1080] User registration and profile settings
[1081] Through the application, users enter basic information such as name, age, hobbies, etc. This information is sent via the device to the server, which verifies the information received and stores it in a database to create a detailed user profile.
[1082] AI selection and call initiation
[1083] From the app's home screen, users select the AI they want to talk to from among several AI models (such as chat AI, consultation AI, and learning support AI), and tap the "Start Call" button. The device sends this information and a call start request to the server, which then loads the appropriate generative AI model and establishes a call session. Additionally, the user's profile data and past conversation records are also loaded.
[1084] Use of emotion engine
[1085] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and text input in real time to generate emotional data. This allows the server to detect the user's emotions, such as stress or joy, and provides this information to the generative AI. The generative AI then takes in this emotional data and generates an appropriate response.
[1086] Specific examples
[1087] For example, consider a case where a user is suffering from insomnia. The user opens the application, selects a consultation AI, and starts a call.
[1088] 1. A user says, "Work has been so stressful lately that I can't sleep."
[1089] 2. The emotion engine detects the user's stress and fatigue from this statement.
[1090] 3. The generative AI responds, "That's tough. What exactly is stressing you out?"
[1091] 4. The server records this conversation and emotion data and stores it for reference during the next call.
[1092] Ending a call and feedback
[1093] When the call ends, the user taps the "End Call" button and optionally enters their thoughts and feedback. The device sends the end request and feedback information to the server, which then ends the call session and stores the end information in a database. The server also receives user feedback and uses it to improve the generative AI model and emotion engine.
[1094] Example prompts to input to the generative AI model
[1095] prompt:
[1096] "Please use the template below to respond to a user who is suffering from insomnia. Detect stress or fatigue from the user's tone of voice and choice of words, and engage in appropriate dialogue."
[1097] 1. User: "I've been so stressed out at work lately that I can't sleep."
[1098] 2. Emotion engine: Detects stress and fatigue.
[1099] 3. Generative AI: "That sounds tough. What exactly is stressing you out?"
[1100] In this way, the system according to the present invention can understand the user's emotions and provide more appropriate interactions.

[1167] (Application example 2)
[1168] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1169] Conventional AI dialogue systems generate uniform responses without considering the user's emotional state, resulting in low dialogue quality and insufficient user satisfaction. Furthermore, in customer support at physical stores, they are unable to provide personalized services that reflect the customer's real-time emotional state.
[1170] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[1171] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving basic information about the user, means for using a generative artificial intelligence to have a dialogue with the user, means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and reflecting that content in the next conversation, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion analysis engine, and means for adjusting the response of the generative artificial intelligence based on the analyzed emotional state. This enables personalized responses that take into account the individual emotional state of the user, thereby providing higher levels of satisfaction in customer support at physical stores.
[1172] "Basic user information" refers to individual information such as the user's name, age, and hobbies.
[1173] "Generative AI" is AI that generates natural dialogue based on user input, such as systems like ChatGPT.
[1174] "Means for dialogue" refers to an interface or system that allows real-time conversations and message exchanges between the user and generative AI.
[1175] "Means for storing the contents of a user's past conversations and reflecting them in the next conversation" refers to a means for saving the contents of previous conversations with a user and using them to improve the next conversation.
[1176] An "emotion analysis engine" is an engine that analyzes the user's emotional state from their voice or text input and outputs the results.
[1177] The "means for adjusting the response" is a means for changing the dialogue content generated by the generative artificial intelligence based on the output results of the emotion analysis engine, and providing an appropriate response.
[1178] A "brick and mortar store" is a commercial establishment or service location located in a physical location.
[1179] "Customer support" refers to support activities to respond to customer questions and inquiries and resolve problems.
[1180] The present invention is a system for providing customer support in brick-and-mortar stores. In the specific embodiment shown below, real-time dialogue is provided using a combination of generative artificial intelligence and an emotion analysis engine, using a terminal such as a smartphone, tablet, or information robot installed in the store.
[1181] User registration and profile settings
[1182] Users install the application on their smartphones or tablets and enter basic information such as their name, age, purchase history, hobbies, etc. This information is sent from the device to a server and stored in a database, creating a detailed profile for each user.
[1183] Starting a conversation
[1184] The user selects a customer support AI from the application's home screen and taps the "Start Dialogue" button. The device sends the selected AI information and a dialogue start request to the server, requesting a dialogue session. The server loads an appropriate generative AI model and establishes a dialogue session. It also loads the user's profile and past conversation records to use in the next dialogue.
[1185] Utilizing a sentiment analysis engine
[1186] The emotion analysis engine analyzes emotions from the user's voice and text input and sends the results to the server in real time. The generative AI then takes this emotional data and generates an appropriate response. For example, if a user expresses confusion or dissatisfaction, a response incorporating that emotion will be provided, allowing the user to receive more satisfying support.
[1187] Conversation progression and data recording
[1188] The server records all conversations in real time and stores them in a database. The recorded conversation data and emotion data are used in subsequent conversations. In particular, past problem history and complaint information are reflected in the next assistance, allowing for higher quality service.
[1189] Closing the conversation and feedback
[1190] After the dialogue is finished, the user taps the "End dialogue" button, and an end request is sent to the server. If necessary, the user can enter their thoughts or feedback, which is also sent to the server. The server stores the end information in a database and uses the feedback information to improve the generative AI model and sentiment analysis engine.
[1191] Hardware and Software Configuration
[1192] The system of the present invention uses the following hardware and software.
[1193] Hardware: Smartphones, tablets, information robots
[1194] Software: Generative AI model (ChatGPT), emotion analysis engine (EmotionEngine), database (SQLite), server program
[1195] Suggested concrete examples
[1196] For example, if a user says in a store, "Tell me more about this product," the following prompt sentence can be generated and responded to:
[1197] Input prompt for the generative AI model:
[1198] My name is Taro Sato. I'm interested in music and painting. My current emotion is joy. Please tell me more about this product.
[1199] Based on this prompt, the generative AI will return an appropriate response such as, "This product is a cutting-edge music player that combines high sound quality with ease of use. It is especially recommended for music lovers!" This allows users to obtain appropriate information quickly, improving satisfaction.
[1200] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1201] Step 1:
[1202] The user installs the application on the terminal and starts the application.
[1203] Specific operation: After downloading the application, the user enters basic information such as name, age, and hobbies.
[1204] Input and Output: The user's basic information is entered and sent by the device to the server, which stores this information in a database and creates a profile for each user.
[1205] Step 2:
[1206] The user selects the customer support AI from the application's home screen and taps the "Start conversation" button.
[1207] Specific operation: The user selects the AI they want to interact with on the home screen and sends a request to start interacting.
[1208] Input and Output: The device receives the user's selection information and a request to initiate a dialogue, which it then sends to the server. The server loads the generative AI model and establishes a dialogue session. It also loads the user's profile data and past conversation records.
[1209] Step 3:
[1210] The emotion analysis engine analyzes emotions from the user's voice and text input and sends the results to the server.
[1211] Specific operation: The user's voice and text are input into an emotion analysis engine, which analyzes their emotional state (happiness, confusion, frustration, etc.).
[1212] Input and output: User voice and text are input, and the emotion analysis engine analyzes and outputs emotional data. This is received by the server.
[1213] Step 4:
[1214] Generative AI generates appropriate responses for users based on data from the sentiment analysis engine.
[1215] How it works: Emotional data is fed into a generative AI model to generate personalized responses for the user.
[1216] Input and output: Emotional data from the sentiment analysis engine is input, and the generative AI outputs an appropriate response. For example, in response to a user's input such as "Tell me more about this product," the system generates a response such as "This product is a cutting-edge music player that combines high sound quality with ease of use."
[1217] Step 5:
[1218] The server records all conversations in real time and stores them in a database.
[1219] Specific operation: The dialogue content and emotion data are sent to the server in real time and recorded in a database.
[1220] Input and output: The user's dialogue and emotional data are input and stored in a database as a record, which can then be used in future dialogues.
[1221] Step 6:
[1222] After the conversation is over, the user taps the "End conversation" button to send a request to the server to end the conversation. If necessary, the user can enter their thoughts or feedback.
[1223] Specific operation: After the user finishes the interaction, he / she sends an end request and feedback information.
[1224] Input and Output: User exit requests and feedback are input and stored on the server. Feedback information is used to improve the generative artificial intelligence and sentiment analysis engine.
[1225] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1226] 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.

[1350] Conventional communication systems have the problem that it is difficult to provide a conversation partner in real time and lack the functionality to effectively reflect the user's past conversation content, which hinders the improvement of the user experience. Furthermore, there is no mechanism for reflecting user feedback in the AI model, making it difficult to maintain and improve call quality.
[1351] 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.
[1352] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving basic user information, means for using generative artificial intelligence to conduct phone calls with the user, and means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and incorporating it into the next conversation. This allows the user to find someone to talk to in real time, and the content of the past conversations can be used for the next call, improving the user experience. The server also includes means for establishing a call with a generative artificial intelligence model selected by the user, means for recording the content of the call in real time and saving it in a format that can be referenced later, and means for receiving feedback from the user after the call ends and using it to improve the artificial intelligence model. This allows the feedback to be incorporated into the artificial intelligence model, enabling the maintenance and improvement of call quality.
[1353] "Basic information" is data entered by the user for personal identification and individualization, such as name, age, hobbies, etc.
[1354] "Generative AI" is an AI system that generates responses in natural language in response to input from a user.
[1355] "Call" refers to interactive communication with a user via generative artificial intelligence.
[1356] "Profile data" is a data set that includes basic information about a user and the contents of past conversations.
[1357] A "call session" is a continuous process of interaction with a user conducted using generative artificial intelligence.
[1358] "Real-time" refers to interactions being processed and reacted to the instant they are sent or received.
[1359] "Feedback" refers to information such as evaluations, impressions, and requests for improvement provided by users after a call has ended.
[1360] A "database" is an information repository where user profile data and conversations are stored.
[1361] "Model improvement" is the process of improving the response accuracy and quality of generative artificial intelligence based on feedback from users.
[1362] The "selected generative artificial intelligence model" is the generative artificial intelligence algorithm that is most suitable for the application specified by the user.
[1363] The present invention is a system that allows users to easily find someone to talk to using a generative AI selected by the user.

[1464] In today's world, when users purchase products online, they need a lot of information, and if they do not receive appropriate support, their motivation to purchase decreases. Furthermore, if customers cannot resolve specific questions about a product, they risk missing out on a purchasing opportunity. Furthermore, online stores face the challenge of finding personalized product recommendations and support for each individual customer.
[1465] 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.
[1466] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving basic information about the user, means for using generative artificial intelligence to communicate with the user, means for storing the content of past conversations with the user and reflecting this in the next conversation, means for using generative artificial intelligence selected by the user to provide product-related questions and advice in real time within a virtual store, means for recommending optimal products to the user based on their purchase history and the content of past conversations, and means for collecting feedback and improving support quality. This allows users to receive prompt and accurate support in real time when making online purchases, increasing their desire to purchase and enabling optimal product recommendations.
[1467] "Basic user information" refers to information necessary to form an individual profile, such as the user's name, age, and purchase history.
[1468] "Generative AI" is an AI system that generates appropriate responses in real time based on user input.
[1469] "Means for making calls" refers to a means of communication that allows the generative artificial intelligence and the user to interact in real time.
[1470] "Means for remembering the content of past conversations and reflecting it in the next conversation" refers to a means for providing continuous support by saving the content of the previous conversation and referring to it in the next conversation.
[1471] A "virtual store" is an online shopping environment used via the Internet where users can browse and purchase products.
[1472] The "means for providing product-related questions and advice in real time" is an interactive support system that can answer questions about products and how to use them on the spot when users ask questions within the virtual store.
[1473] "Purchase history" is a record of products that a user has purchased in the past.
[1474] "Means for recommending optimal products to users based on past conversation content" refers to a system that suggests products that meet individual user needs based on the user's past conversations and behavioral history.
[1475] "Means for collecting feedback and improving support quality" refers to a means for incorporating user evaluations and opinions into the system and using them to improve the performance and response accuracy of the generative artificial intelligence.
[1476] This invention is a system that provides optimal support to users in a virtual store by inputting and saving basic information about the user, using generative artificial intelligence to communicate with the user, and storing the content of past conversations and reflecting it in the next conversation. Specific embodiments for implementing this invention are described below.

[1669] Example 2
[1670] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1671] Conventional dialogue systems using generative AI generally respond without considering the user's emotions, which prevents them from providing sufficient personalization or emotional support. Furthermore, they fail to fully utilize past conversations, making it difficult to build a lasting relationship with the user. Furthermore, they lack a mechanism for incorporating user feedback into system improvements.
[1672] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1673] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting and saving basic user information, a means for using generative artificial intelligence to communicate with the user, a means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and reflecting that content in the next conversation, and a means for analyzing the user's emotions and reflecting that content in the conversation. This enables personalized dialogue that understands emotions, providing psychological support to the user and building a lasting relationship. Furthermore, user feedback can be used to improve the artificial intelligence model, thereby improving system performance.
[1674] "Basic user information" is data indicating personal attributes such as the user's name, age, hobbies, etc.
[1675] "Generative AI" refers to an AI system that uses natural language processing to interact with users, such as ChatGPT.
[1676] "Means for communicating with the user" refers to a mechanism for two-way communication with the user via voice or text via generative artificial intelligence.
[1677] "Means of remembering the content of a user's past conversations and reflecting it in the next conversation" is a function that stores records of past conversations with the user in a database and uses that information to make the content of the next conversation more personalized.
[1678] "Means for analyzing emotions and reflecting them in the content of the call" refers to a mechanism that reads emotions from the user's voice and text and incorporates the results into the generative AI's response, thereby enabling a dialogue that is sensitive to the user's emotions.
[1679] "Personalized dialogue" refers to generating optimal responses for a user by taking into account the user's individual information, past conversations, emotional state, etc.
[1680] "Feedback" refers to the thoughts and opinions provided by users after a call ends, and is data used to improve the performance of the system and generative artificial intelligence.
[1681] The present invention relates to a system that understands user emotions and provides more personalized interactions. This system consists of a user terminal, a server, a generative artificial intelligence (e.g., ChatGPT), and an emotion engine.
[1682] Overall system overview
[1683] Users install and launch a dedicated application using a network-connected device such as a smartphone or tablet. The application inputs and saves the user's basic information and communicates with the user via a generative AI. It also uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and reflects them in the generative AI's responses.
[1684] User registration and profile settings
[1685] Through the application, users enter basic information such as name, age, hobbies, etc. This information is sent via the device to the server, which verifies the information received and stores it in a database to create a detailed user profile.
[1686] AI selection and call initiation
[1687] From the app's home screen, users select the AI they want to talk to from among several AI models (such as chat AI, consultation AI, and learning support AI), and tap the "Start Call" button. The device sends this information and a call start request to the server, which then loads the appropriate generative AI model and establishes a call session. Additionally, the user's profile data and past conversation records are also loaded.
[1688] Use of emotion engine
[1689] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and text input in real time to generate emotional data. This allows the server to detect the user's emotions, such as stress or joy, and provides this information to the generative AI. The generative AI then takes in this emotional data and generates an appropriate response.
[1690] Specific examples
[1691] For example, consider a case where a user is suffering from insomnia. The user opens the application, selects a consultation AI, and starts a call.
[1692] 1. A user says, "Work has been so stressful lately that I can't sleep."
[1693] 2. The emotion engine detects the user's stress and fatigue from this statement.
[1694] 3. The generative AI responds, "That's tough. What exactly is stressing you out?"
[1695] 4. The server records this conversation and emotion data and stores it for reference during the next call.
[1696] Ending a call and feedback
[1697] When the call ends, the user taps the "End Call" button and optionally enters their thoughts and feedback. The device sends the end request and feedback information to the server, which then ends the call session and stores the end information in a database. The server also receives user feedback and uses it to improve the generative AI model and emotion engine.
[1698] Example prompts to input to the generative AI model
[1699] prompt:
[1700] "Please use the template below to respond to a user who is suffering from insomnia. Detect stress or fatigue from the user's tone of voice and choice of words, and engage in appropriate dialogue."
[1701] 1. User: "I've been so stressed out at work lately that I can't sleep."
[1702] 2. Emotion engine: Detects stress and fatigue.
[1703] 3. Generative AI: "That sounds tough. What exactly is stressing you out?"
[1704] In this way, the system according to the present invention can understand the user's emotions and provide more appropriate interactions.

[1770] Output: The end of the call session and feedback information are stored in a database and used to improve the system.
[1771] (Application example 2)
[1772] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1773] Conventional AI dialogue systems generate uniform responses without considering the user's emotional state, resulting in low dialogue quality and insufficient user satisfaction. Furthermore, in customer support at physical stores, they are unable to provide personalized services that reflect the customer's real-time emotional state.
[1774] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[1775] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving basic information about the user, means for using a generative artificial intelligence to have a dialogue with the user, means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and reflecting that content in the next conversation, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion analysis engine, and means for adjusting the response of the generative artificial intelligence based on the analyzed emotional state. This enables personalized responses that take into account the individual emotional state of the user, thereby providing higher levels of satisfaction in customer support at physical stores.
[1776] "Basic user information" refers to individual information such as the user's name, age, and hobbies.
[1777] "Generative AI" is AI that generates natural dialogue based on user input, such as systems like ChatGPT.
[1778] "Means for dialogue" refers to an interface or system that allows real-time conversations and message exchanges between the user and generative AI.
[1779] "Means for storing the contents of a user's past conversations and reflecting them in the next conversation" refers to a means for saving the contents of previous conversations with a user and using them to improve the next conversation.
[1780] An "emotion analysis engine" is an engine that analyzes the user's emotional state from their voice or text input and outputs the results.
[1781] The "means for adjusting the response" is a means for changing the dialogue content generated by the generative artificial intelligence based on the output results of the emotion analysis engine, and providing an appropriate response.
[1782] A "brick and mortar store" is a commercial establishment or service location located in a physical location.
[1783] "Customer support" refers to support activities to respond to customer questions and inquiries and resolve problems.
[1784] The present invention is a system for providing customer support in brick-and-mortar stores. In the specific embodiment shown below, real-time dialogue is provided using a combination of generative artificial intelligence and an emotion analysis engine, using a terminal such as a smartphone, tablet, or information robot installed in the store.
[1785] User registration and profile settings
[1786] Users install the application on their smartphones or tablets and enter basic information such as their name, age, purchase history, hobbies, etc. This information is sent from the device to a server and stored in a database, creating a detailed profile for each user.
[1787] Starting a conversation
[1788] The user selects a customer support AI from the application's home screen and taps the "Start Dialogue" button. The device sends the selected AI information and a dialogue start request to the server, requesting a dialogue session. The server loads an appropriate generative AI model and establishes a dialogue session. It also loads the user's profile and past conversation records to use in the next dialogue.
[1789] Utilizing a sentiment analysis engine
[1790] The emotion analysis engine analyzes emotions from the user's voice and text input and sends the results to the server in real time. The generative AI then takes this emotional data and generates an appropriate response. For example, if a user expresses confusion or dissatisfaction, a response incorporating that emotion will be provided, allowing the user to receive more satisfying support.
[1791] Conversation progression and data recording
[1792] The server records all conversations in real time and stores them in a database. The recorded conversation data and emotion data are used in subsequent conversations. In particular, past problem history and complaint information are reflected in the next assistance, allowing for higher quality service.
[1793] Closing the conversation and feedback
[1794] After the dialogue is finished, the user taps the "End dialogue" button, and an end request is sent to the server. If necessary, the user can enter their thoughts or feedback, which is also sent to the server. The server stores the end information in a database and uses the feedback information to improve the generative AI model and sentiment analysis engine.
[1795] Hardware and Software Configuration
[1796] The system of the present invention uses the following hardware and software.
[1797] Hardware: Smartphones, tablets, information robots
[1798] Software: Generative AI model (ChatGPT), emotion analysis engine (EmotionEngine), database (SQLite), server program
[1799] Suggested concrete examples
[1800] For example, if a user says in a store, "Tell me more about this product," the following prompt sentence can be generated and responded to:
[1801] Input prompt for the generative AI model:
[1802] My name is Taro Sato. I'm interested in music and painting. My current emotion is joy. Please tell me more about this product.
[1803] Based on this prompt, the generative AI will return an appropriate response such as, "This product is a cutting-edge music player that combines high sound quality with ease of use. It is especially recommended for music lovers!" This allows users to obtain appropriate information quickly, improving satisfaction.
[1804] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1805] Step 1:
[1806] The user installs the application on the terminal and starts the application.
[1807] Specific operation: After downloading the application, the user enters basic information such as name, age, and hobbies.
[1808] Input and Output: The user's basic information is entered and sent by the device to the server, which stores this information in a database and creates a profile for each user.
[1809] Step 2:
[1810] The user selects the customer support AI from the application's home screen and taps the "Start conversation" button.
[1811] Specific operation: The user selects the AI they want to interact with on the home screen and sends a request to start interacting.
[1812] Input and Output: The device receives the user's selection information and a request to initiate a dialogue, which it then sends to the server. The server loads the generative AI model and establishes a dialogue session. It also loads the user's profile data and past conversation records.
[1813] Step 3:
[1814] The emotion analysis engine analyzes emotions from the user's voice and text input and sends the results to the server.
[1815] Specific operation: The user's voice and text are input into an emotion analysis engine, which analyzes their emotional state (happiness, confusion, frustration, etc.).
[1816] Input and output: User voice and text are input, and the emotion analysis engine analyzes and outputs emotional data. This is received by the server.
[1817] Step 4:
[1818] Generative AI generates appropriate responses for users based on data from the sentiment analysis engine.
[1819] How it works: Emotional data is fed into a generative AI model to generate personalized responses for the user.
[1820] Input and output: Emotional data from the sentiment analysis engine is input, and the generative AI outputs an appropriate response. For example, in response to a user's input such as "Tell me more about this product," the system generates a response such as "This product is a cutting-edge music player that combines high sound quality with ease of use."
[1821] Step 5:
[1822] The server records all conversations in real time and stores them in a database.
[1823] Specific operation: The dialogue content and emotion data are sent to the server in real time and recorded in a database.
[1824] Input and output: The user's dialogue and emotional data are input and stored in a database as a record, which can then be used in future dialogues.
[1825] Step 6:
[1826] After the conversation is over, the user taps the "End conversation" button to send a request to the server to end the conversation. If necessary, the user can enter their thoughts or feedback.
[1827] Specific operation: After the user finishes the interaction, he / she sends an end request and feedback information.
[1828] Input and Output: User exit requests and feedback are input and stored on the server. Feedback information is used to improve the generative artificial intelligence and sentiment analysis engine.
[1829] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1830] 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.
[1831] 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 headset type terminal 314.

[1954] 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."
[1955] Conventional communication systems have the problem that it is difficult to provide a conversation partner in real time and lack the functionality to effectively reflect the user's past conversation content, which hinders the improvement of the user experience. Furthermore, there is no mechanism for reflecting user feedback in the AI model, making it difficult to maintain and improve call quality.
[1956] 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.
[1957] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving basic user information, means for using generative artificial intelligence to conduct phone calls with the user, and means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and incorporating it into the next conversation. This allows the user to find someone to talk to in real time, and the content of the past conversations can be used for the next call, improving the user experience. The server also includes means for establishing a call with a generative artificial intelligence model selected by the user, means for recording the content of the call in real time and saving it in a format that can be referenced later, and means for receiving feedback from the user after the call ends and using it to improve the artificial intelligence model. This allows the feedback to be incorporated into the artificial intelligence model, enabling the maintenance and improvement of call quality.
[1958] "Basic information" is data entered by the user for personal identification and individualization, such as name, age, hobbies, etc.
[1959] "Generative AI" is an AI system that generates responses in natural language in response to input from a user.
[1960] "Call" refers to interactive communication with a user via generative artificial intelligence.
[1961] "Profile data" is a data set that includes basic information about a user and the contents of past conversations.
[1962] A "call session" is a continuous process of interaction with a user conducted using generative artificial intelligence.
[1963] "Real-time" refers to interactions being processed and reacted to the instant they are sent or received.
[1964] "Feedback" refers to information such as evaluations, impressions, and requests for improvement provided by users after a call has ended.
[1965] A "database" is an information repository where user profile data and conversations are stored.
[1966] "Model improvement" is the process of improving the response accuracy and quality of generative artificial intelligence based on feedback from users.
[1967] The "selected generative artificial intelligence model" is the generative artificial intelligence algorithm that is most suitable for the application specified by the user.
[1968] The present invention is a system that allows users to easily find someone to talk to using a generative AI selected by the user.

This allows users to receive prompt and accurate support in real time when making online purchases, increasing their desire to purchase and enabling optimal product recommendations.
[2072] "Basic user information" refers to information necessary to form an individual profile, such as the user's name, age, and purchase history.
[2073] "Generative AI" is an AI system that generates appropriate responses in real time based on user input.
[2074] "Means for making calls" refers to a means of communication that allows the generative artificial intelligence and the user to interact in real time.
[2075] "Means for remembering the content of past conversations and reflecting it in the next conversation" refers to a means for providing continuous support by saving the content of the previous conversation and referring to it in the next conversation.
[2076] A "virtual store" is an online shopping environment used via the Internet where users can browse and purchase products.
[2077] The "means for providing product-related questions and advice in real time" is an interactive support system that can answer questions about products and how to use them on the spot when users ask questions within the virtual store.
[2078] "Purchase history" is a record of products that a user has purchased in the past.
[2079] "Means for recommending optimal products to users based on past conversation content" refers to a system that suggests products that meet individual user needs based on the user's past conversations and behavioral history.
[2080] "Means for collecting feedback and improving support quality" refers to a means for incorporating user evaluations and opinions into the system and using them to improve the performance and response accuracy of the generative artificial intelligence.
[2081] This invention is a system that provides optimal support to users in a virtual store by inputting and saving basic information about the user, using generative artificial intelligence to communicate with the user, and storing the content of past conversations and reflecting it in the next conversation. Specific embodiments for implementing this invention are described below.

[2274] Example 2
[2275] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[2276] Conventional dialogue systems using generative AI generally respond without considering the user's emotions, which prevents them from providing sufficient personalization or emotional support. Furthermore, they fail to fully utilize past conversations, making it difficult to build a lasting relationship with the user. Furthermore, they lack a mechanism for incorporating user feedback into system improvements.
[2277] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[2278] In this invention, the server includes a means for inputting and saving basic user information, a means for using generative artificial intelligence to communicate with the user, a means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and reflecting that content in the next conversation, and a means for analyzing the user's emotions and reflecting that content in the conversation. This enables personalized dialogue that understands emotions, providing psychological support to the user and building a lasting relationship. Furthermore, user feedback can be used to improve the artificial intelligence model, thereby improving system performance.
[2279] "Basic user information" is data indicating personal attributes such as the user's name, age, hobbies, etc.
[2280] "Generative AI" refers to an AI system that uses natural language processing to interact with users, such as ChatGPT.
[2281] "Means for communicating with the user" refers to a mechanism for two-way communication with the user via voice or text via generative artificial intelligence.
[2282] "Means of remembering the content of a user's past conversations and reflecting it in the next conversation" is a function that stores records of past conversations with the user in a database and uses that information to make the content of the next conversation more personalized.
[2283] "Means for analyzing emotions and reflecting them in the content of the call" refers to a mechanism that reads emotions from the user's voice and text and incorporates the results into the generative AI's response, thereby enabling a dialogue that is sensitive to the user's emotions.
[2284] "Personalized dialogue" refers to generating optimal responses for a user by taking into account the user's individual information, past conversations, emotional state, etc.
[2285] "Feedback" refers to the thoughts and opinions provided by users after a call ends, and is data used to improve the performance of the system and generative artificial intelligence.
[2286] The present invention relates to a system that understands user emotions and provides more personalized interactions. This system consists of a user terminal, a server, a generative artificial intelligence (e.g., ChatGPT), and an emotion engine.
[2287] Overall system overview
[2288] Users install and launch a dedicated application using a network-connected device such as a smartphone or tablet. The application inputs and saves the user's basic information and communicates with the user via a generative AI. It also uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions and reflects them in the generative AI's responses.
[2289] User registration and profile settings
[2290] Through the application, users enter basic information such as name, age, hobbies, etc. This information is sent via the device to the server, which verifies the information received and stores it in a database to create a detailed user profile.
[2291] AI selection and call initiation
[2292] From the app's home screen, users select the AI they want to talk to from among several AI models (such as chat AI, consultation AI, and learning support AI), and tap the "Start Call" button. The device sends this information and a call start request to the server, which then loads the appropriate generative AI model and establishes a call session. Additionally, the user's profile data and past conversation records are also loaded.
[2293] Use of emotion engine
[2294] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and text input in real time to generate emotional data. This allows the server to detect the user's emotions, such as stress or joy, and provides this information to the generative AI. The generative AI then takes in this emotional data and generates an appropriate response.
[2295] Specific examples
[2296] For example, consider a case where a user is suffering from insomnia. The user opens the application, selects a consultation AI, and starts a call.
[2297] 1. A user says, "Work has been so stressful lately that I can't sleep."
[2298] 2. The emotion engine detects the user's stress and fatigue from this statement.
[2299] 3. The generative AI responds, "That's tough. What exactly is stressing you out?"
[2300] 4. The server records this conversation and emotion data and stores it for reference during the next call.
[2301] Ending a call and feedback
[2302] When the call ends, the user taps the "End Call" button and optionally enters their thoughts and feedback. The device sends the end request and feedback information to the server, which then ends the call session and stores the end information in a database. The server also receives user feedback and uses it to improve the generative AI model and emotion engine.
[2303] Example prompts to input to the generative AI model
[2304] prompt:
[2305] "Please use the template below to respond to a user who is suffering from insomnia. Detect stress or fatigue from the user's tone of voice and choice of words, and engage in appropriate dialogue."
[2306] 1. User: "I've been so stressed out at work lately that I can't sleep."
[2307] 2. Emotion engine: Detects stress and fatigue.
[2308] 3. Generative AI: "That sounds tough. What exactly is stressing you out?"
[2309] In this way, the system according to the present invention can understand the user's emotions and provide more appropriate interactions.

[2368] Input: Call termination request and feedback information.
[2369] Specific operation: The terminal generates a data packet for transmitting a termination request and feedback information.
[2370] Output: A termination request and feedback information is sent to the server.
[2371] Step 13:
[2372] The server ends the session and saves the feedback.
[2373] Input: The termination request and feedback information sent from the terminal.
[2374] Specific operation: The server ends the call session and stores the end information in a database. It also uses the received feedback information to improve the generative AI model and emotion engine.
[2375] Output: The end of the call session and feedback information are stored in a database and used to improve the system.
[2376] (Application example 2)
[2377] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[2378] Conventional AI dialogue systems generate uniform responses without considering the user's emotional state, resulting in low dialogue quality and insufficient user satisfaction. Furthermore, in customer support at physical stores, they are unable to provide personalized services that reflect the customer's real-time emotional state.
[2379] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[2380] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving basic information about the user, means for using a generative artificial intelligence to have a dialogue with the user, means for storing the content of the user's past conversations and reflecting that content in the next conversation, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion analysis engine, and means for adjusting the response of the generative artificial intelligence based on the analyzed emotional state. This enables personalized responses that take into account the individual emotional state of the user, thereby providing higher levels of satisfaction in customer support at physical stores.
[2381] "Basic user information" refers to individual information such as the user's name, age, and hobbies.
[2382] "Generative AI" is AI that generates natural dialogue based on user input, such as systems like ChatGPT.
[2383] "Means for dialogue" refers to an interface or system that allows real-time conversations and message exchanges between the user and generative AI.
[2384] "Means for storing the contents of a user's past conversations and reflecting them in the next conversation" refers to a means for saving the contents of previous conversations with a user and using them to improve the next conversation.
[2385] An "emotion analysis engine" is an engine that analyzes the user's emotional state from their voice or text input and outputs the results.
[2386] The "means for adjusting the response" is a means for changing the dialogue content generated by the generative artificial intelligence based on the output results of the emotion analysis engine, and providing an appropriate response.
[2387] A "brick and mortar store" is a commercial establishment or service location located in a physical location.
[2388] "Customer support" refers to support activities to respond to customer questions and inquiries and resolve problems.
[2389] The present invention is a system for providing customer support in brick-and-mortar stores. In the specific embodiment shown below, real-time dialogue is provided using a combination of generative artificial intelligence and an emotion analysis engine, using a terminal such as a smartphone, tablet, or information robot installed in the store.
[2390] User registration and profile settings
[2391] Users install the application on their smartphones or tablets and enter basic information such as their name, age, purchase history, hobbies, etc. This information is sent from the device to a server and stored in a database, creating a detailed profile for each user.
[2392] Starting a conversation
[2393] The user selects a customer support AI from the application's home screen and taps the "Start Dialogue" button. The device sends the selected AI information and a dialogue start request to the server, requesting a dialogue session. The server loads an appropriate generative AI model and establishes a dialogue session. It also loads the user's profile and past conversation records to use in the next dialogue.
[2394] Utilizing a sentiment analysis engine
[2395] The emotion analysis engine analyzes emotions from the user's voice and text input and sends the results to the server in real time. The generative AI then takes this emotional data and generates an appropriate response. For example, if a user expresses confusion or dissatisfaction, a response incorporating that emotion will be provided, allowing the user to receive more satisfying support.
[2396] Conversation progression and data recording
[2397] The server records all conversations in real time and stores them in a database. The recorded conversation data and emotion data are used in subsequent conversations. In particular, past problem history and complaint information are reflected in the next assistance, allowing for higher quality service.
[2398] Closing the conversation and feedback
[2399] After the dialogue is finished, the user taps the "End dialogue" button, and an end request is sent to the server. If necessary, the user can enter their thoughts or feedback, which is also sent to the server. The server stores the end information in a database and uses the feedback information to improve the generative AI model and sentiment analysis engine.
[2400] Hardware and Software Configuration
[2401] The system of the present invention uses the following hardware and software.
[2402] Hardware: Smartphones, tablets, information robots
[2403] Software: Generative AI model (ChatGPT), emotion analysis engine (EmotionEngine), database (SQLite), server program
[2404] Suggested concrete examples
[2405] For example, if a user says in a store, "Tell me more about this product," the following prompt sentence can be generated and responded to:
[2406] Input prompt for the generative AI model:
[2407] My name is Taro Sato. I'm interested in music and painting. My current emotion is joy. Please tell me more about this product.
[2408] Based on this prompt, the generative AI will return an appropriate response such as, "This product is a cutting-edge music player that combines high sound quality with ease of use. It is especially recommended for music lovers!" This allows users to obtain appropriate information quickly, improving satisfaction.
[2409] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[2410] Step 1:
[2411] The user installs the application on the terminal and starts the application.
[2412] Specific operation: After downloading the application, the user enters basic information such as name, age, and hobbies.
[2413] Input and Output: The user's basic information is entered and sent by the device to the server, which stores this information in a database and creates a profile for each user.
[2414] Step 2:
[2415] The user selects the customer support AI from the application's home screen and taps the "Start conversation" button.
[2416] Specific operation: The user selects the AI they want to interact with on the home screen and sends a request to start interacting.
[2417] Input and Output: The device receives the user's selection information and a request to initiate a dialogue, which it then sends to the server. The server loads the generative AI model and establishes a dialogue session. It also loads the user's profile data and past conversation records.
[2418] Step 3:
[2419] The emotion analysis engine analyzes emotions from the user's voice and text input and sends the results to the server.
[2420] Specific operation: The user's voice and text are input into an emotion analysis engine, which analyzes their emotional state (happiness, confusion, frustration, etc.).
[2421] Input and output: User voice and text are input, and the emotion analysis engine analyzes and outputs emotional data. This is received by the server.
[2422] Step 4:
[2423] Generative AI generates appropriate responses for users based on data from the sentiment analysis engine.
[2424] How it works: Emotional data is fed into a generative AI model to generate personalized responses for the user.
[2425] Input and output: Emotional data from the sentiment analysis engine is input, and the generative AI outputs an appropriate response. For example, in response to a user's input such as "Tell me more about this product," the system generates a response such as "This product is a cutting-edge music player that combines high sound quality with ease of use."
[2426] Step 5:
[2427] The server records all conversations in real time and stores them in a database.
[2428] Specific operation: The dialogue content and emotion data are sent to the server in real time and recorded in a database.
[2429] Input and output: The user's dialogue and emotional data are input and stored in a database as a record, which can then be used in future dialogues.
[2430] Step 6:
[2431] After the conversation is over, the user taps the "End conversation" button to send a request to the server to end the conversation. If necessary, the user can enter their thoughts or feedback.
[2432] Specific operation: After the user finishes the interaction, he / she sends an end request and feedback information.
[2433] Input and Output: User exit requests and feedback are input and stored on the server. Feedback information is used to improve the generative artificial intelligence and sentiment analysis engine.
[2434] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[2435] 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.
[2436] 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.
[2437] 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.
[2438] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion 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.
[2439] 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.
[2440] 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).
[2441] 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.
[2442] 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."
[2443] 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.
[2444] 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).
[2445] 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.
[2446] 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.
[2447] 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.
[2448] 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.
[2449] 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.
[2450] 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.
[2451] 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.
[2452] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
