[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2022-180282 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] In recent years, there has been an increase in cases of minors becoming involved in various crimes through social networking services (SNS). Specifically, problems such as slander, bullying, leaks of personal information, solicitation, and "illegal part-time jobs" have arisen, and these problems can have a significant impact on the mind and body of minors. However, it is not realistic for parents to monitor all SNS interactions in real time, and as a result, problems are often only addressed after they occur. Therefore, there is a need for a method that can detect potential risks early and prevent accidents when minors use SNS, without direct parental intervention. [Means for solving the problem]

[0047] This invention provides a system for detecting risks associated with the use of social networking services (SNS) at an early stage on a communication device used by minors, and for preventing minors from becoming involved in crime. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[0048] System configuration and operation overview
[0049] The communication devices are installed on smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices commonly used by minors, and monitor text messages and posts in real time whenever a user uses a social networking site.
[0050] collection
[0051] The device collects data on social media in real time, including sent and received messages, posts, and comments.
[0052] Example: A user posts "I want to make new friends" in a messaging app. This post is collected by the device.
[0053] Pretreatment
[0054] The device preprocesses the collected data, a process that involves normalizing the text, removing unnecessary symbols, and preparing it for analysis.
[0055] Example: Removing extra spaces and special characters from the message to make it easier to parse.
[0056] analysis
[0057] Generative algorithms analyze the collected data and detect risk factors, while natural language processing algorithms are used to understand the meaning and context of the text.
[0058] Example: If there is a message such as "You shouldn't come to school," the generation algorithm will determine this as bullying.
[0059] Risk Detection
[0060] If the generation algorithm detects a risk factor, it returns that information to the terminal.
[0061] Example: When a message containing personal information or a suspicious solicitation message is detected, risk information is returned to the device.
[0062] Alert Generation and Notification
[0063] The device generates appropriate warnings based on the detected risk information.
[0064] For example, generate a warning that reads, "Your child has received an inappropriate message."
[0065] The terminal transmits the generated warning to the server, and the server notifies the parent or guardian of the warning message.
[0066] Example: The server sends warning messages via email and SMS based on the parent's contact information.
[0067] Example of operation
[0068] When a user receives a message on SNS saying "Shall we meet tomorrow?", the system operates as follows:
[0069] 1. The terminal collects this message.
[0070] 2. The terminal preprocesses the message and formats it into a parsable format.
[0071] 3. The generation algorithm analyzes the preprocessed messages to detect lure risks.
[0072] 4. The device generates a warning based on the detected risk information.
[0073] 5. The device sends the alert to the server.
[0074] 6. The server sends a warning message to the parent.
[0075] In this way, when a minor encounters a dangerous situation on social media, parents can be quickly warned and helped to take appropriate action.
[0076] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0077] Step 1:
[0078] The device collects all posts and messages made by users on social media in real time.
[0079] Example: When a user posts on a social networking site, "I'm planning to hang out with my friends tomorrow," the device collects that post.
[0080] Step 2:
[0081] The terminal pre-processes the collected data.
[0082] For example: normalization converts uppercase to lowercase, removes unnecessary symbols, and also removes extra spaces.
[0083] Step 3:
[0084] The terminal passes the preprocessed data to the generation algorithm.
[0085] Example: The preprocessed text "I'm going to hang out with my friends tomorrow" is sent to the generative algorithm.
[0086] Step 4:
[0087] The generating algorithm analyzes the pre-processed data and detects specific risk factors.
[0088] Example: The text "You shouldn't come to school" is collected and a generative algorithm identifies this message as a bullying risk.
[0089] Step 5:
[0090] If the generation algorithm detects a risk factor, it generates risk information and returns it to the terminal.
[0091] Example: A generative algorithm identifies the text "You shouldn't come to school" and creates risk information based on it.
[0092] Step 6:
[0093] The terminal generates a warning based on the risk information.
[0094] Example: If a bullying risk is detected, generate a warning saying "Your child has received a bullying message."
[0095] Step 7:
[0096] The terminal sends the generated alert to the server.
[0097] Example: An alert is sent to the server saying "Your child has received a bullying message."
[0098] Step 8:
[0099] The server generates a warning message for the parent and notifies the parent via a specified contact method.
[0100] Example: The server sends a warning to parents via email or SMS saying, "Your child has received a bullying message."
[0101] The above is a detailed processing flow of the system that detects risks early on when minors interact with social media and notifies parents.

[0208] The present invention provides a system for enabling minors to safely use social networking services (hereinafter referred to as SNS) on communication terminals. Detailed embodiments of this system will be described below.
[0209] System Overview
[0210] The system aims to detect risk factors early on when minors use social networking sites and send warnings to parents. The system mainly consists of the following components:
[0211] 1. Communication devices: Electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets that are used daily by minors.
[0212] 2. Server: A computer system for managing data storage, processing, and sending alert messages.
[0213] Hardware and Software Configuration
[0214] Hardware:
[0215] Communication devices: smartphones, tablets
[0216] Server: A general internet-connected computer system
[0217] software:
[0218] Natural language processing library: TextBlob (for text analysis)
[0219] Email sending library: smtplib (for sending warning messages)
[0220] Data collection and preprocessing
[0221] The device collects data such as messages, posts, and comments sent and received by users on social media in real time. The collected data is then preprocessed to make it analyzable. Specifically, text is normalized and unnecessary symbols are removed.
[0222] Data analysis and risk detection
[0223] The preprocessed data is then analyzed using natural language processing (NLP) algorithms. Using a NLP library such as TextBlob, the text is subjected to sentiment analysis. Messages with strong negative sentiment (e.g., "Don't come to my school") are then detected as risk factors.
[0224] Alert generation and notification
[0225] If a risk factor is detected, the device generates a warning message and sends it to the server. The server then sends this warning to the parent's contact information (e.g., email address), allowing parents to respond quickly when their minor encounters a dangerous situation on social media.
[0226] Examples of specific examples and prompts
[0227] Specific examples
[0228] Example: If a user receives the message "Don't come to school," the following happens:
[0229] The device collects this message
[0230] Preprocessing to remove extra spaces and special characters
[0231] Natural language processing algorithms analyze messages and detect negative sentiment
[0232] When a risk factor is detected, a warning message is generated and sent to the server.
[0233] The server sends a warning email to the parent.
[0234] Prompt sentence for generative AI model
[0235] Evaluate the following message and determine if it poses a risk: "You shouldn't come to school."
[0236] Negative Emotion: True
[0237] Risky message: Don't come to school
[0238] In this way, a system is provided that can quickly notify parents and guardians when a minor encounters a dangerous situation on an SNS and take appropriate action.
[0239] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0240] Step 1: The device collects messages on the social networking site.
[0241] Input: Messages, comments, and posts that users send or receive on social media.
[0242] How it works: The device uses the API of the social networking application to collect this data in real time.
[0243] Output: Raw data collected (messages, comments, posts)
[0244] Step 2: Preprocess the data collected by the device
[0245] Input: Raw data collected
[0246] What it does: The terminal preprocesses and normalizes the text data, specifically removing extra spaces and special characters.
[0247] Output: Preprocessed text data
[0248] Step 3: The device analyzes the preprocessed data using natural language processing algorithms.
[0249] Input: Preprocessed text data
[0250] How it works: The device uses a natural language processing library such as TextBlob to perform sentiment analysis on the text data, calculating a sentiment score for each message.
[0251] Output: Analysis results (text data with sentiment scores)
[0252] Step 4: The device detects risk factors based on the analysis results
[0253] Input: Text data with sentiment scores
[0254] Operation: The device evaluates the analysis results and determines messages with negative emotions above a certain threshold as risk factors. For example, if the emotion score is below -0.5, it is a risk factor.
[0255] Output: Messages determined to be risk factors
[0256] Step 5: Generate a warning message when the device detects a risk factor
[0257] Input: Message determined to be a risk factor
[0258] Operation: The device generates a warning message to send to the parent. Specifically, it constructs the warning message based on the content of the message that was determined to be a risk factor.
[0259] Output: Warning message
[0260] Step 6: Server sends alert to parent
[0261] Input: warning message
[0262] How it works: When a warning message is sent from the device to the server, the server will send a warning message via email or SMS based on the parent's contact information.
[0263] Output: Notification of completion of sending warning message to parents
[0264] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0265] This invention is a system for early detection of risks associated with the use of social networking sites on communication devices used by minors, preventing them from becoming involved in crimes, and further improves the accuracy of risk detection by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[0266] System configuration and operation overview
[0267] The communication device is installed on smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices that minors use on a daily basis. This device monitors text messages and posts in real time every time a user uses social media, and analyzes them using an emotion engine and generative algorithm.
[0268] collection
[0269] The device collects data on social media in real time, including sent and received messages, posts, and comments.
[0270] Example: A user posts in a messaging app, "I'm looking forward to hanging out with my friends." This post is collected by the device.
[0271] Pretreatment
[0272] The device preprocesses the collected data, a process that involves normalizing the text, removing unnecessary symbols, and preparing it for analysis.
[0273] Example: Removing extra spaces and special characters from the message to make it easier to parse.
[0274] analysis
[0275] The generative algorithm analyzes the preprocessed data to detect risk factors, while simultaneously analyzing the emotional state of the text using an emotion engine.
[0276] Example: If a message such as "I wish you would disappear" is collected, the generation algorithm will determine this as slander, and the emotion engine will detect the user's negative emotional state.
[0277] Risk Detection
[0278] If the generation algorithm detects a risk factor, it generates risk information along with the analysis results of the emotion engine and returns it to the terminal.
[0279] Example: Identified messages are identified as having negative sentiment by the sentiment engine, and risk information is generated based on that.
[0280] Alert Generation and Notification
[0281] The device generates a warning based on the generated risk information and the results of emotion analysis.
[0282] For example, generate a warning that reads, "Your child has received bullying messages and is feeling very stressed."
[0283] The terminal transmits the generated warning to the server, and the server notifies the parent or guardian of the warning message.
[0284] Example: The server sends a warning to parents via email or SMS saying, "Your child has received a bullying message and is feeling very stressed."
[0285] Example of operation
[0286] If a user sends a negative message on social media, such as "I don't want to go to school anymore," the system operates as follows:
[0287] 1. The terminal collects this message.
[0288] 2. The terminal preprocesses the message and formats it into a parsable format.
[0289] 3. A generative algorithm analyzes the preprocessed messages to detect risks of defamation and bullying.
[0290] 4. The emotion engine recognizes the user's negative emotional state.
[0291] 5. The device integrates the results of the generation algorithm and the emotion engine to generate a warning based on risk information.
[0292] 6. The device sends the alert to the server.
[0293] 7. The server sends a warning message to the parent.
[0294] In this way, when a minor encounters a dangerous situation or negative emotions on social media, the system can quickly warn parents and help them take appropriate action.
[0295] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0296] Step 1:
[0297] The device collects all posts and messages made by users on social media in real time.
[0298] Example: A user sends a message to a friend on a social networking site saying, "I want a new game." This message is collected by the device.
[0299] Step 2:
[0300] The terminal pre-processes the collected data.
[0301] Example: Converting messages to uppercase and lowercase, removing unnecessary symbols, and arranging them into a unified format.
[0302] Step 3:
[0303] The terminal sends the pre-processed data to the generating algorithm.
[0304] Example: The preprocessed text "I want a new game" is sent to a generative algorithm.
[0305] Step 4:
[0306] The generating algorithm analyzes the pre-processed data and detects specific risk factors.
[0307] Example: A generative algorithm analyzes the message "I wish you were gone" and determines that it is potentially defamatory.
[0308] Step 5:
[0309] The generative algorithm detects risk factors and sends the data to the emotion engine.
[0310] Example: The message "I wish you'd just disappear" detected by the generative algorithm is passed to the emotion engine.
[0311] Step 6:
[0312] The emotion engine analyzes the received data and recognizes the user's emotional state.
[0313] Example: The emotion engine determines that the sender's emotion in response to the message "I wish you were gone" is negative.
[0314] Step 7:
[0315] The emotion engine returns the recognized emotion information to the terminal.
[0316] Example: Returning a negative sentiment result to the terminal.
[0317] Step 8:
[0318] The terminal generates a warning based on the risk information of the generation algorithm and the analysis results of the emotion engine.
[0319] Example: Generate a warning message saying "Your child has received a bullying message."
[0320] Step 9:
[0321] The terminal sends the generated alert to the server.
[0322] Example: Sending a warning message to the server: "Your child has received a bullying message."
[0323] Step 10:
[0324] The server generates a warning message for the parent and notifies the parent via a specified contact method.
[0325] Example: The server sends a warning email or SMS to a parent's contacts stating that "your child has received a bullying message."
[0326] This is the specific processing flow of the system that combines the emotion engine. This makes it possible to detect risks and issue warnings that take into account the emotional state of minors when they encounter dangerous situations on social media.

[0532] System configuration and operation overview
[0533] The communication devices are installed on smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices commonly used by minors, and monitor text messages and posts in real time whenever a user uses a social networking site.
[0534] collection
[0535] The device collects data on social media in real time, including sent and received messages, posts, and comments.
[0536] Example: A user posts "I want to make new friends" in a messaging app. This post is collected by the device.
[0537] Pretreatment
[0538] The device preprocesses the collected data, a process that involves normalizing the text, removing unnecessary symbols, and preparing it for analysis.
[0539] Example: Removing extra spaces and special characters from the message to make it easier to parse.
[0540] analysis
[0541] Generative algorithms analyze the collected data and detect risk factors, while natural language processing algorithms are used to understand the meaning and context of the text.
[0542] Example: If there is a message such as "You shouldn't come to school," the generation algorithm will determine this as bullying.
[0543] Risk Detection
[0544] If the generation algorithm detects a risk factor, it returns that information to the terminal.
[0545] Example: When a message containing personal information or a suspicious solicitation message is detected, risk information is returned to the device.
[0546] Alert Generation and Notification
[0547] The device generates appropriate warnings based on the detected risk information.
[0548] For example, generate a warning that reads, "Your child has received an inappropriate message."
[0549] The terminal transmits the generated warning to the server, and the server notifies the parent or guardian of the warning message.
[0550] Example: The server sends warning messages via email and SMS based on the parent's contact information.
[0551] Example of operation
[0552] When a user receives a message on SNS saying "Shall we meet tomorrow?", the system operates as follows:
[0553] 1. The terminal collects this message.
[0554] 2. The terminal preprocesses the message and formats it into a parsable format.
[0555] 3. The generation algorithm analyzes the preprocessed messages to detect lure risks.
[0556] 4. The device generates a warning based on the detected risk information.
[0557] 5. The device sends the alert to the server.
[0558] 6. The server sends a warning message to the parent.
[0559] In this way, when a minor encounters a dangerous situation on social media, parents can be quickly warned and helped to take appropriate action.
[0560] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0561] Step 1:
[0562] The device collects all posts and messages made by users on social media in real time.
[0563] Example: When a user posts on a social networking site, "I'm planning to hang out with my friends tomorrow," the device collects that post.
[0564] Step 2:
[0565] The terminal pre-processes the collected data.
[0566] For example: normalization converts uppercase to lowercase, removes unnecessary symbols, and also removes extra spaces.
[0567] Step 3:
[0568] The terminal passes the preprocessed data to the generation algorithm.
[0569] Example: The preprocessed text "I'm going to hang out with my friends tomorrow" is sent to the generative algorithm.
[0570] Step 4:
[0571] The generating algorithm analyzes the pre-processed data and detects specific risk factors.
[0572] Example: The text "You shouldn't come to school" is collected and a generative algorithm identifies this message as a bullying risk.
[0573] Step 5:
[0574] If the generation algorithm detects a risk factor, it generates risk information and returns it to the terminal.
[0575] Example: A generative algorithm identifies the text "You shouldn't come to school" and creates risk information based on it.
[0576] Step 6:
[0577] The terminal generates a warning based on the risk information.
[0578] Example: If a bullying risk is detected, generate a warning saying "Your child has received a bullying message."
[0579] Step 7:
[0580] The terminal sends the generated alert to the server.
[0581] Example: An alert is sent to the server saying "Your child has received a bullying message."
[0582] Step 8:
[0583] The server generates a warning message for the parent and notifies the parent via a specified contact method.
[0584] Example: The server sends a warning to parents via email or SMS saying, "Your child has received a bullying message."
[0585] The above is a detailed processing flow of the system that detects risks early on when minors interact with social media and notifies parents.

[0678] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0679] Currently, when minors use social networking services (SNS), they are likely to be exposed to risks such as bullying and solicitation. However, many parents do not have the means to grasp these risks in real time. This increases the risk of minors becoming involved in crime. The object of this invention is to provide a system that uses communication devices used by minors to quickly detect risks on SNS and issue prompt and accurate warnings to parents.
[0680] 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.
[0681] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting data on social networking services from communication terminals used by minors, means for preprocessing the collected data, means for using a natural language processing algorithm to analyze the collected data, means for detecting risk factors based on the analysis results, means for generating a warning when the risk factor is detected, and means for sending the warning to a guardian. This makes it possible to quickly notify a guardian when a minor encounters a dangerous situation on a social networking service and take appropriate action.

[0690] "Guardian" refers to a parent or someone in a similar position who has custody of a minor.
[0691] "Server" refers to a computer system for storing, processing, and managing data over a network.
[0692] The present invention provides a system for enabling minors to safely use social networking services (hereinafter referred to as SNS) on communication terminals. Detailed embodiments of this system will be described below.
[0693] System Overview
[0694] The system aims to detect risk factors early on when minors use social networking sites and send warnings to parents. The system mainly consists of the following components:
[0695] 1. Communication devices: Electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets that are used daily by minors.
[0696] 2. Server: A computer system for managing data storage, processing, and sending alert messages.
[0697] Hardware and Software Configuration
[0698] Hardware:
[0699] Communication devices: smartphones, tablets
[0700] Server: A general internet-connected computer system
[0701] software:
[0702] Natural language processing library: TextBlob (for text analysis)
[0703] Email sending library: smtplib (for sending warning messages)
[0704] Data collection and preprocessing
[0705] The device collects data such as messages, posts, and comments sent and received by users on social media in real time. The collected data is then preprocessed to make it analyzable. Specifically, text is normalized and unnecessary symbols are removed.
[0706] Data analysis and risk detection
[0707] The preprocessed data is then analyzed using natural language processing (NLP) algorithms. Using a NLP library such as TextBlob, the text is subjected to sentiment analysis. Messages with strong negative sentiment (e.g., "Don't come to my school") are then detected as risk factors.
[0708] Alert generation and notification
[0709] If a risk factor is detected, the device generates a warning message and sends it to the server. The server then sends this warning to the parent's contact information (e.g., email address), allowing parents to respond quickly when their minor encounters a dangerous situation on social media.
[0710] Examples of specific examples and prompts
[0711] Specific examples
[0712] Example: If a user receives the message "Don't come to school," the following happens:
[0713] The device collects this message
[0714] Preprocessing to remove extra spaces and special characters
[0715] Natural language processing algorithms analyze messages and detect negative sentiment
[0716] When a risk factor is detected, a warning message is generated and sent to the server.
[0717] The server sends a warning email to the parent.
[0718] Prompt sentence for generative AI model
[0719] Evaluate the following message and determine if it poses a risk: "You shouldn't come to school."
[0720] Negative Emotion: True
[0721] Risky message: Don't come to school
[0722] In this way, a system is provided that can quickly notify parents and guardians when a minor encounters a dangerous situation on an SNS and take appropriate action.
[0723] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0724] Step 1: The device collects messages on the social networking site.
[0725] Input: Messages, comments, and posts that users send or receive on social media.
[0726] How it works: The device uses the API of the social networking application to collect this data in real time.
[0727] Output: Raw data collected (messages, comments, posts)
[0728] Step 2: Preprocess the data collected by the device
[0729] Input: Raw data collected
[0730] What it does: The terminal preprocesses and normalizes the text data, specifically removing extra spaces and special characters.
[0731] Output: Preprocessed text data
[0732] Step 3: The device analyzes the preprocessed data using natural language processing algorithms.
[0733] Input: Preprocessed text data
[0734] How it works: The device uses a natural language processing library such as TextBlob to perform sentiment analysis on the text data, calculating a sentiment score for each message.
[0735] Output: Analysis results (text data with sentiment scores)
[0736] Step 4: The device detects risk factors based on the analysis results
[0737] Input: Text data with sentiment scores
[0738] Operation: The device evaluates the analysis results and determines messages with negative emotions above a certain threshold as risk factors. For example, if the emotion score is below -0.5, it is a risk factor.
[0739] Output: Messages determined to be risk factors
[0740] Step 5: Generate a warning message when the device detects a risk factor
[0741] Input: Message determined to be a risk factor
[0742] Operation: The device generates a warning message to send to the parent. Specifically, it constructs the warning message based on the content of the message that was determined to be a risk factor.
[0743] Output: Warning message
[0744] Step 6: Server sends alert to parent
[0745] Input: warning message
[0746] How it works: When a warning message is sent from the device to the server, the server will send a warning message via email or SMS based on the parent's contact information.
[0747] Output: Notification of completion of sending warning message to parents
[0748] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0749] This invention is a system for early detection of risks associated with the use of social networking sites on communication devices used by minors, preventing them from becoming involved in crimes, and further improves the accuracy of risk detection by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[0750] System configuration and operation overview
[0751] The communication device is installed on smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices that minors use on a daily basis. This device monitors text messages and posts in real time every time a user uses social media, and analyzes them using an emotion engine and generative algorithm.
[0752] collection
[0753] The device collects data on social media in real time, including sent and received messages, posts, and comments.
[0754] Example: A user posts in a messaging app, "I'm looking forward to hanging out with my friends." This post is collected by the device.
[0755] Pretreatment
[0756] The device preprocesses the collected data, a process that involves normalizing the text, removing unnecessary symbols, and preparing it for analysis.
[0757] Example: Removing extra spaces and special characters from the message to make it easier to parse.
[0758] analysis
[0759] The generative algorithm analyzes the preprocessed data to detect risk factors, while simultaneously analyzing the emotional state of the text using an emotion engine.
[0760] Example: If a message such as "I wish you would disappear" is collected, the generation algorithm will determine this as slander, and the emotion engine will detect the user's negative emotional state.
[0761] Risk Detection
[0762] If the generation algorithm detects a risk factor, it generates risk information along with the analysis results of the emotion engine and returns it to the terminal.
[0763] Example: Identified messages are identified as having negative sentiment by the sentiment engine, and risk information is generated based on that.
[0764] Alert Generation and Notification
[0765] The device generates a warning based on the generated risk information and the results of emotion analysis.
[0766] For example, generate a warning that reads, "Your child has received bullying messages and is feeling very stressed."
[0767] The terminal transmits the generated warning to the server, and the server notifies the parent or guardian of the warning message.
[0768] Example: The server sends a warning to parents via email or SMS saying, "Your child has received a bullying message and is feeling very stressed."
[0769] Example of operation
[0770] If a user sends a negative message on social media, such as "I don't want to go to school anymore," the system operates as follows:
[0771] 1. The terminal collects this message.
[0772] 2. The terminal preprocesses the message and formats it into a parsable format.
[0773] 3. A generative algorithm analyzes the preprocessed messages to detect risks of defamation and bullying.
[0774] 4. The emotion engine recognizes the user's negative emotional state.
[0775] 5. The device integrates the results of the generation algorithm and the emotion engine to generate a warning based on risk information.
[0776] 6. The device sends the alert to the server.
[0777] 7. The server sends a warning message to the parent.
[0778] In this way, when a minor encounters a dangerous situation or negative emotions on social media, the system can quickly warn parents and help them take appropriate action.
[0779] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0780] Step 1:
[0781] The device collects all posts and messages made by users on social media in real time.
[0782] Example: A user sends a message to a friend on a social networking site saying, "I want a new game." This message is collected by the device.
[0783] Step 2:
[0784] The terminal pre-processes the collected data.
[0785] Example: Converting messages to uppercase and lowercase, removing unnecessary symbols, and arranging them into a unified format.
[0786] Step 3:
[0787] The terminal sends the pre-processed data to the generating algorithm.
[0788] Example: The preprocessed text "I want a new game" is sent to a generative algorithm.
[0789] Step 4:
[0790] The generating algorithm analyzes the pre-processed data and detects specific risk factors.
[0791] Example: A generative algorithm analyzes the message "I wish you were gone" and determines that it is potentially defamatory.
[0792] Step 5:
[0793] The generative algorithm detects risk factors and sends the data to the emotion engine.
[0794] Example: The message "I wish you'd just disappear" detected by the generative algorithm is passed to the emotion engine.
[0795] Step 6:
[0796] The emotion engine analyzes the received data and recognizes the user's emotional state.
[0797] Example: The emotion engine determines that the sender's emotion in response to the message "I wish you were gone" is negative.
[0798] Step 7:
[0799] The emotion engine returns the recognized emotion information to the terminal.
[0800] Example: Returning a negative sentiment result to the terminal.
[0801] Step 8:
[0802] The terminal generates a warning based on the risk information of the generation algorithm and the analysis results of the emotion engine.
[0803] Example: Generate a warning message saying "Your child has received a bullying message."
[0804] Step 9:
[0805] The terminal sends the generated alert to the server.
[0806] Example: Sending a warning message to the server: "Your child has received a bullying message."
[0807] Step 10:
[0808] The server generates a warning message for the parent and notifies the parent via a specified contact method.
[0809] Example: The server sends a warning email or SMS to a parent's contacts stating that "your child has received a bullying message."
[0810] This is the specific processing flow of the system that combines the emotion engine. This makes it possible to detect risks and issue warnings that take into account the emotional state of minors when they encounter dangerous situations on social media.

[0812] 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."
[0813] When minors use social networking services (SNS), they are likely to encounter inappropriate content and harmful messages, which can have serious psychological effects. Furthermore, conventional systems have had difficulty accurately and quickly analyzing SNS data and detecting and notifying users of risks at an early stage. To address this issue, it is urgent to develop an efficient system that collects SNS data in real time, analyzes it, detects risks, and generates warnings. Furthermore, there is a need to improve the accuracy of risk detection by accurately understanding users' emotional states.
[0814] 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.
[0815] In this invention, the server includes a means for a communication terminal to collect data on a social networking service, a means for preprocessing the collected data by normalizing and removing unnecessary symbols, and a means for analyzing the preprocessed data using a generative algorithm and analyzing the emotional state using an emotion engine. This makes it possible to quickly and accurately detect risks and notify appropriate individuals of warnings when a minor encounters inappropriate content on an SNS. The emotion engine also allows for a more accurate understanding of the user's psychological state, enabling more accurate risk assessment.

[1046] The device collects all posts and messages made by users on social media in real time.
[1047] Example: When a user posts on a social networking site, "I'm planning to hang out with my friends tomorrow," the device collects that post.
[1048] Step 2:
[1049] The terminal pre-processes the collected data.
[1050] For example: normalization converts uppercase to lowercase, removes unnecessary symbols, and also removes extra spaces.
[1051] Step 3:
[1052] The terminal passes the preprocessed data to the generation algorithm.
[1053] Example: The preprocessed text "I'm going to hang out with my friends tomorrow" is sent to the generative algorithm.
[1054] Step 4:
[1055] The generating algorithm analyzes the pre-processed data and detects specific risk factors.
[1056] Example: The text "You shouldn't come to school" is collected and a generative algorithm identifies this message as a bullying risk.
[1057] Step 5:
[1058] If the generation algorithm detects a risk factor, it generates risk information and returns it to the terminal.
[1059] Example: A generative algorithm identifies the text "You shouldn't come to school" and creates risk information based on it.
[1060] Step 6:
[1061] The terminal generates a warning based on the risk information.
[1062] Example: If a bullying risk is detected, generate a warning saying "Your child has received a bullying message."
[1063] Step 7:
[1064] The terminal sends the generated alert to the server.
[1065] Example: An alert is sent to the server saying "Your child has received a bullying message."
[1066] Step 8:
[1067] The server generates a warning message for the parent and notifies the parent via a specified contact method.
[1068] Example: The server sends a warning to parents via email or SMS saying, "Your child has received a bullying message."
[1069] The above is a detailed processing flow of the system that detects risks early on when minors interact with social media and notifies parents.

[1176] The present invention provides a system for enabling minors to safely use social networking services (hereinafter referred to as SNS) on communication terminals. Detailed embodiments of this system will be described below.
[1177] System Overview
[1178] The system aims to detect risk factors early on when minors use social networking sites and send warnings to parents. The system mainly consists of the following components:
[1179] 1. Communication devices: Electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets that are used daily by minors.
[1180] 2. Server: A computer system for managing data storage, processing, and sending alert messages.
[1181] Hardware and Software Configuration
[1182] Hardware:
[1183] Communication devices: smartphones, tablets
[1184] Server: A general internet-connected computer system
[1185] software:
[1186] Natural language processing library: TextBlob (for text analysis)
[1187] Email sending library: smtplib (for sending warning messages)
[1188] Data collection and preprocessing
[1189] The device collects data such as messages, posts, and comments sent and received by users on social media in real time. The collected data is then preprocessed to make it analyzable. Specifically, text is normalized and unnecessary symbols are removed.
[1190] Data analysis and risk detection
[1191] The preprocessed data is then analyzed using natural language processing (NLP) algorithms. Using a NLP library such as TextBlob, the text is subjected to sentiment analysis. Messages with strong negative sentiment (e.g., "Don't come to my school") are then detected as risk factors.
[1192] Alert generation and notification
[1193] If a risk factor is detected, the device generates a warning message and sends it to the server. The server then sends this warning to the parent's contact information (e.g., email address), allowing parents to respond quickly when their minor encounters a dangerous situation on social media.
[1194] Examples of specific examples and prompts
[1195] Specific examples
[1196] Example: If a user receives the message "Don't come to school," the following happens:
[1197] The device collects this message
[1198] Preprocessing to remove extra spaces and special characters
[1199] Natural language processing algorithms analyze messages and detect negative sentiment
[1200] When a risk factor is detected, a warning message is generated and sent to the server.
[1201] The server sends a warning email to the parent.
[1202] Prompt sentence for generative AI model
[1203] Evaluate the following message and determine if it poses a risk: "You shouldn't come to school."
[1204] Negative Emotion: True
[1205] Risky message: Don't come to school
[1206] In this way, a system is provided that can quickly notify parents and guardians when a minor encounters a dangerous situation on an SNS and take appropriate action.
[1207] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1208] Step 1: The device collects messages on the social networking site.
[1209] Input: Messages, comments, and posts that users send or receive on social media.
[1210] How it works: The device uses the API of the social networking application to collect this data in real time.
[1211] Output: Raw data collected (messages, comments, posts)
[1212] Step 2: Preprocess the data collected by the device
[1213] Input: Raw data collected
[1214] What it does: The terminal preprocesses and normalizes the text data, specifically removing extra spaces and special characters.
[1215] Output: Preprocessed text data
[1216] Step 3: The device analyzes the preprocessed data using natural language processing algorithms.
[1217] Input: Preprocessed text data
[1218] How it works: The device uses a natural language processing library such as TextBlob to perform sentiment analysis on the text data, calculating a sentiment score for each message.
[1219] Output: Analysis results (text data with sentiment scores)
[1220] Step 4: The device detects risk factors based on the analysis results
[1221] Input: Text data with sentiment scores
[1222] Operation: The device evaluates the analysis results and determines messages with negative emotions above a certain threshold as risk factors. For example, if the emotion score is below -0.5, it is a risk factor.
[1223] Output: Messages determined to be risk factors
[1224] Step 5: Generate a warning message when the device detects a risk factor
[1225] Input: Message determined to be a risk factor
[1226] Operation: The device generates a warning message to send to the parent. Specifically, it constructs the warning message based on the content of the message that was determined to be a risk factor.
[1227] Output: Warning message
[1228] Step 6: Server sends alert to parent
[1229] Input: warning message
[1230] How it works: When a warning message is sent from the device to the server, the server will send a warning message via email or SMS based on the parent's contact information.
[1231] Output: Notification of completion of sending warning message to parents
[1232] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1233] This invention is a system for early detection of risks associated with the use of social networking sites on communication devices used by minors, preventing them from becoming involved in crimes, and further improves the accuracy of risk detection by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[1234] System configuration and operation overview
[1235] The communication device is installed on smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices that minors use on a daily basis. This device monitors text messages and posts in real time every time a user uses social media, and analyzes them using an emotion engine and generative algorithm.
[1236] collection
[1237] The device collects data on social media in real time, including sent and received messages, posts, and comments.
[1238] Example: A user posts in a messaging app, "I'm looking forward to hanging out with my friends." This post is collected by the device.
[1239] Pretreatment
[1240] The device preprocesses the collected data, a process that involves normalizing the text, removing unnecessary symbols, and preparing it for analysis.
[1241] Example: Removing extra spaces and special characters from the message to make it easier to parse.
[1242] analysis
[1243] The generative algorithm analyzes the preprocessed data to detect risk factors, while simultaneously analyzing the emotional state of the text using an emotion engine.
[1244] Example: If a message such as "I wish you would disappear" is collected, the generation algorithm will determine this as slander, and the emotion engine will detect the user's negative emotional state.
[1245] Risk Detection
[1246] If the generation algorithm detects a risk factor, it generates risk information along with the analysis results of the emotion engine and returns it to the terminal.
[1247] Example: Identified messages are identified as having negative sentiment by the sentiment engine, and risk information is generated based on that.
[1248] Alert Generation and Notification
[1249] The device generates a warning based on the generated risk information and the results of emotion analysis.
[1250] For example, generate a warning that reads, "Your child has received bullying messages and is feeling very stressed."
[1251] The terminal transmits the generated warning to the server, and the server notifies the parent or guardian of the warning message.
[1252] Example: The server sends a warning to parents via email or SMS saying, "Your child has received a bullying message and is feeling very stressed."
[1253] Example of operation
[1254] If a user sends a negative message on social media, such as "I don't want to go to school anymore," the system operates as follows:
[1255] 1. The terminal collects this message.
[1256] 2. The terminal preprocesses the message and formats it into a parsable format.
[1257] 3. A generative algorithm analyzes the preprocessed messages to detect risks of defamation and bullying.
[1258] 4. The emotion engine recognizes the user's negative emotional state.
[1259] 5. The device integrates the results of the generation algorithm and the emotion engine to generate a warning based on risk information.
[1260] 6. The device sends the alert to the server.
[1261] 7. The server sends a warning message to the parent.
[1262] In this way, when a minor encounters a dangerous situation or negative emotions on social media, the system can quickly warn parents and help them take appropriate action.
[1263] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1264] Step 1:
[1265] The device collects all posts and messages made by users on social media in real time.
[1266] Example: A user sends a message to a friend on a social networking site saying, "I want a new game." This message is collected by the device.
[1267] Step 2:
[1268] The terminal pre-processes the collected data.
[1269] Example: Converting messages to uppercase and lowercase, removing unnecessary symbols, and arranging them into a unified format.
[1270] Step 3:
[1271] The terminal sends the pre-processed data to the generating algorithm.
[1272] Example: The preprocessed text "I want a new game" is sent to a generative algorithm.
[1273] Step 4:
[1274] The generating algorithm analyzes the pre-processed data and detects specific risk factors.
[1275] Example: A generative algorithm analyzes the message "I wish you were gone" and determines that it is potentially defamatory.
[1276] Step 5:
[1277] The generative algorithm detects risk factors and sends the data to the emotion engine.
[1278] Example: The message "I wish you'd just disappear" detected by the generative algorithm is passed to the emotion engine.
[1279] Step 6:
[1280] The emotion engine analyzes the received data and recognizes the user's emotional state.
[1281] Example: The emotion engine determines that the sender's emotion in response to the message "I wish you were gone" is negative.
[1282] Step 7:
[1283] The emotion engine returns the recognized emotion information to the terminal.
[1284] Example: Returning a negative sentiment result to the terminal.
[1285] Step 8:
[1286] The terminal generates a warning based on the risk information of the generation algorithm and the analysis results of the emotion engine.
[1287] Example: Generate a warning message saying "Your child has received a bullying message."
[1288] Step 9:
[1289] The terminal sends the generated alert to the server.
[1290] Example: Sending a warning message to the server: "Your child has received a bullying message."
[1291] Step 10:
[1292] The server generates a warning message for the parent and notifies the parent via a specified contact method.
[1293] Example: The server sends a warning email or SMS to a parent's contacts stating that "your child has received a bullying message."
[1294] This is the specific processing flow of the system that combines the emotion engine. This makes it possible to detect risks and issue warnings that take into account the emotional state of minors when they encounter dangerous situations on social media.
[1295] Example 2
[1296] 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."
[1297] When minors use social networking services (SNS), they are likely to encounter inappropriate content and harmful messages, which can have serious psychological effects. Furthermore, conventional systems have had difficulty accurately and quickly analyzing SNS data and detecting and notifying users of risks at an early stage. To address this issue, it is urgent to develop an efficient system that collects SNS data in real time, analyzes it, detects risks, and generates warnings. Furthermore, there is a need to improve the accuracy of risk detection by accurately understanding users' emotional states.
[1298] 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.
[1299] In this invention, the server includes a means for a communication terminal to collect data on a social networking service, a means for preprocessing the collected data by normalizing and removing unnecessary symbols, and a means for analyzing the preprocessed data using a generative algorithm and analyzing the emotional state using an emotion engine. This makes it possible to quickly and accurately detect risks and notify appropriate individuals of warnings when a minor encounters inappropriate content on an SNS. The emotion engine also allows for a more accurate understanding of the user's psychological state, enabling more accurate risk assessment.

[1535] For example: normalization converts uppercase to lowercase, removes unnecessary symbols, and also removes extra spaces.
[1536] Step 3:
[1537] The terminal passes the preprocessed data to the generation algorithm.
[1538] Example: The preprocessed text "I'm going to hang out with my friends tomorrow" is sent to the generative algorithm.
[1539] Step 4:
[1540] The generating algorithm analyzes the pre-processed data and detects specific risk factors.
[1541] Example: The text "You shouldn't come to school" is collected and a generative algorithm identifies this message as a bullying risk.
[1542] Step 5:
[1543] If the generation algorithm detects a risk factor, it generates risk information and returns it to the terminal.
[1544] Example: A generative algorithm identifies the text "You shouldn't come to school" and creates risk information based on it.
[1545] Step 6:
[1546] The terminal generates a warning based on the risk information.

[1647] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1648] Currently, when minors use social networking services (SNS), they are likely to be exposed to risks such as bullying and solicitation. However, many parents do not have the means to grasp these risks in real time. This increases the risk of minors becoming involved in crime. The object of this invention is to provide a system that uses communication devices used by minors to quickly detect risks on SNS and issue prompt and accurate warnings to parents.
[1649] 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.

[1661] The present invention provides a system for enabling minors to safely use social networking services (hereinafter referred to as SNS) on communication terminals. Detailed embodiments of this system will be described below.
[1662] System Overview
[1663] The system aims to detect risk factors early on when minors use social networking sites and send warnings to parents. The system mainly consists of the following components:
[1664] 1. Communication devices: Electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets that are used daily by minors.
[1665] 2. Server: A computer system for managing data storage, processing, and sending alert messages.
[1666] Hardware and Software Configuration
[1667] Hardware:
[1668] Communication devices: smartphones, tablets
[1669] Server: A general internet-connected computer system
[1670] software:
[1671] Natural language processing library: TextBlob (for text analysis)
[1672] Email sending library: smtplib (for sending warning messages)
[1673] Data collection and preprocessing
[1674] The device collects data such as messages, posts, and comments sent and received by users on social media in real time. The collected data is then preprocessed to make it analyzable. Specifically, text is normalized and unnecessary symbols are removed.
[1675] Data analysis and risk detection
[1676] The preprocessed data is then analyzed using natural language processing (NLP) algorithms. Using a NLP library such as TextBlob, the text is subjected to sentiment analysis. Messages with strong negative sentiment (e.g., "Don't come to my school") are then detected as risk factors.
[1677] Alert generation and notification
[1678] If a risk factor is detected, the device generates a warning message and sends it to the server. The server then sends this warning to the parent's contact information (e.g., email address), allowing parents to respond quickly when their minor encounters a dangerous situation on social media.
[1679] Examples of specific examples and prompts
[1680] Specific examples
[1681] Example: If a user receives the message "Don't come to school," the following happens:
[1682] The device collects this message
[1683] Preprocessing to remove extra spaces and special characters
[1684] Natural language processing algorithms analyze messages and detect negative sentiment
[1685] When a risk factor is detected, a warning message is generated and sent to the server.
[1686] The server sends a warning email to the parent.
[1687] Prompt sentence for generative AI model
[1688] Evaluate the following message and determine if it poses a risk: "You shouldn't come to school."
[1689] Negative Emotion: True
[1690] Risky message: Don't come to school
[1691] In this way, a system is provided that can quickly notify parents and guardians when a minor encounters a dangerous situation on an SNS and take appropriate action.
[1692] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1693] Step 1: The device collects messages on the social networking site.
[1694] Input: Messages, comments, and posts that users send or receive on social media.
[1695] How it works: The device uses the API of the social networking application to collect this data in real time.
[1696] Output: Raw data collected (messages, comments, posts)
[1697] Step 2: Preprocess the data collected by the device
[1698] Input: Raw data collected
[1699] What it does: The terminal preprocesses and normalizes the text data, specifically removing extra spaces and special characters.
[1700] Output: Preprocessed text data
[1701] Step 3: The device analyzes the preprocessed data using natural language processing algorithms.
[1702] Input: Preprocessed text data
[1703] How it works: The device uses a natural language processing library such as TextBlob to perform sentiment analysis on the text data, calculating a sentiment score for each message.
[1704] Output: Analysis results (text data with sentiment scores)
[1705] Step 4: The device detects risk factors based on the analysis results
[1706] Input: Text data with sentiment scores
[1707] Operation: The device evaluates the analysis results and determines messages with negative emotions above a certain threshold as risk factors. For example, if the emotion score is below -0.5, it is a risk factor.
[1708] Output: Messages determined to be risk factors
[1709] Step 5: Generate a warning message when the device detects a risk factor
[1710] Input: Message determined to be a risk factor
[1711] Operation: The device generates a warning message to send to the parent. Specifically, it constructs the warning message based on the content of the message that was determined to be a risk factor.
[1712] Output: Warning message
[1713] Step 6: Server sends alert to parent
[1714] Input: warning message
[1715] How it works: When a warning message is sent from the device to the server, the server will send a warning message via email or SMS based on the parent's contact information.
[1716] Output: Notification of completion of sending warning message to parents
[1717] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1718] This invention is a system for early detection of risks associated with the use of social networking sites on communication devices used by minors, preventing them from becoming involved in crimes, and further improves the accuracy of risk detection by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[1719] System configuration and operation overview
[1720] The communication device is installed on smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices that minors use on a daily basis. This device monitors text messages and posts in real time every time a user uses social media, and analyzes them using an emotion engine and generative algorithm.
[1721] collection
[1722] The device collects data on social media in real time, including sent and received messages, posts, and comments.
[1723] Example: A user posts in a messaging app, "I'm looking forward to hanging out with my friends." This post is collected by the device.
[1724] Pretreatment
[1725] The device preprocesses the collected data, a process that involves normalizing the text, removing unnecessary symbols, and preparing it for analysis.
[1726] Example: Removing extra spaces and special characters from the message to make it easier to parse.
[1727] analysis
[1728] The generative algorithm analyzes the preprocessed data to detect risk factors, while simultaneously analyzing the emotional state of the text using an emotion engine.
[1729] Example: If a message such as "I wish you would disappear" is collected, the generation algorithm will determine this as slander, and the emotion engine will detect the user's negative emotional state.
[1730] Risk Detection
[1731] If the generation algorithm detects a risk factor, it generates risk information along with the analysis results of the emotion engine and returns it to the terminal.
[1732] Example: Identified messages are identified as having negative sentiment by the sentiment engine, and risk information is generated based on that.
[1733] Alert Generation and Notification
[1734] The device generates a warning based on the generated risk information and the results of emotion analysis.
[1735] For example, generate a warning that reads, "Your child has received bullying messages and is feeling very stressed."
[1736] The terminal transmits the generated warning to the server, and the server notifies the parent or guardian of the warning message.
[1737] Example: The server sends a warning to parents via email or SMS saying, "Your child has received a bullying message and is feeling very stressed."
[1738] Example of operation
[1739] If a user sends a negative message on social media, such as "I don't want to go to school anymore," the system operates as follows:
[1740] 1. The terminal collects this message.
[1741] 2. The terminal preprocesses the message and formats it into a parsable format.
[1742] 3. A generative algorithm analyzes the preprocessed messages to detect risks of defamation and bullying.
[1743] 4. The emotion engine recognizes the user's negative emotional state.
[1744] 5. The device integrates the results of the generation algorithm and the emotion engine to generate a warning based on risk information.
[1745] 6. The device sends the alert to the server.
[1746] 7. The server sends a warning message to the parent.
[1747] In this way, when a minor encounters a dangerous situation or negative emotions on social media, the system can quickly warn parents and help them take appropriate action.
[1748] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1749] Step 1:
[1750] The device collects all posts and messages made by users on social media in real time.
[1751] Example: A user sends a message to a friend on a social networking site saying, "I want a new game." This message is collected by the device.
[1752] Step 2:
[1753] The terminal pre-processes the collected data.
[1754] Example: Converting messages to uppercase and lowercase, removing unnecessary symbols, and arranging them into a unified format.
[1755] Step 3:
[1756] The terminal sends the pre-processed data to the generating algorithm.
[1757] Example: The preprocessed text "I want a new game" is sent to a generative algorithm.
[1758] Step 4:
[1759] The generating algorithm analyzes the pre-processed data and detects specific risk factors.
[1760] Example: A generative algorithm analyzes the message "I wish you were gone" and determines that it is potentially defamatory.
[1761] Step 5:
[1762] The generative algorithm detects risk factors and sends the data to the emotion engine.
[1763] Example: The message "I wish you'd just disappear" detected by the generative algorithm is passed to the emotion engine.
[1764] Step 6:
[1765] The emotion engine analyzes the received data and recognizes the user's emotional state.
[1766] Example: The emotion engine determines that the sender's emotion in response to the message "I wish you were gone" is negative.
[1767] Step 7:
[1768] The emotion engine returns the recognized emotion information to the terminal.
[1769] Example: Returning a negative sentiment result to the terminal.
[1770] Step 8:
[1771] The terminal generates a warning based on the risk information of the generation algorithm and the analysis results of the emotion engine.
[1772] Example: Generate a warning message saying "Your child has received a bullying message."
[1773] Step 9:
[1774] The terminal sends the generated alert to the server.
[1775] Example: Sending a warning message to the server: "Your child has received a bullying message."
[1776] Step 10:
[1777] The server generates a warning message for the parent and notifies the parent via a specified contact method.
[1778] Example: The server sends a warning email or SMS to a parent's contacts stating that "your child has received a bullying message."
[1779] This is the specific processing flow of the system that combines the emotion engine. This makes it possible to detect risks and issue warnings that take into account the emotional state of minors when they encounter dangerous situations on social media.
[1780] Example 2
[1781] 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."
[1782] When minors use social networking services (SNS), they are likely to encounter inappropriate content and harmful messages, which can have serious psychological effects. Furthermore, conventional systems have had difficulty accurately and quickly analyzing SNS data and detecting and notifying users of risks at an early stage. To address this issue, it is urgent to develop an efficient system that collects SNS data in real time, analyzes it, detects risks, and generates warnings. Furthermore, there is a need to improve the accuracy of risk detection by accurately understanding users' emotional states.
[1783] 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.
[1784] In this invention, the server includes a means for a communication terminal to collect data on a social networking service, a means for preprocessing the collected data by normalizing and removing unnecessary symbols, and a means for analyzing the preprocessed data using a generative algorithm and analyzing the emotional state using an emotion engine. This makes it possible to quickly and accurately detect risks and notify appropriate individuals of warnings when a minor encounters inappropriate content on an SNS. The emotion engine also allows for a more accurate understanding of the user's psychological state, enabling more accurate risk assessment.

[1896] Example: Removing extra spaces and special characters from the message to make it easier to parse.
[1897] analysis
[1898] A generative algorithm analyzes the preprocessed data to detect risk factors, while simultaneously analyzing the emotional state of the text using an emotion engine.
[1899] Example: If a message such as "I wish you would disappear" is collected, the generation algorithm will determine this as slander, and the emotion engine will detect the user's negative emotional state.
[1900] Risk Detection
[1901] If the generation algorithm detects a risk factor, it generates risk information along with the analysis results of the emotion engine and returns it to the communication terminal.
[1902] Example: Identified messages are identified as having negative sentiment by the sentiment engine, and risk information is generated based on that.
[1903] Alert Generation and Notification
[1904] The server generates a warning based on the generated risk information and the results of sentiment analysis.
[1905] For example, generate a warning that reads, "Your child has received bullying messages and is feeling very stressed."
[1906] The server notifies the parent of the generated alert.
[1907] Example: The server sends a warning to parents via email or SMS saying, "Your child has received a bullying message and is feeling very stressed."
[1908] Hardware and software used
[1909] The system uses the following hardware and software:
[1910] Hardware: Smartphones, tablets, and in-vehicle systems for autonomous vehicles
[1911] Software: generative algorithms (e.g., natural language processing algorithms), emotion engines (e.g., EmotionEngine)
[1912] Specific examples
[1913] When a user sends a negative message on social media, such as "I don't want to go to school anymore," the system operates as follows:
[1914] 1. The communication terminal collects this message.
[1915] 2. The communication device preprocesses the message and formats it into a parsable format.
[1916] 3. A generative algorithm analyzes the preprocessed messages to detect risks of defamation and bullying.
[1917] 4. The emotion engine recognizes the user's negative emotional state.
[1918] 5. The server integrates the results of the generation algorithm and the emotion engine to generate a warning based on risk information.
[1919] 6. The server sends the generated alert to the parent.
[1920] Example prompts to be input to the generative AI model
[1921] Analyze users' SNS messages and detect safety risks. For the following messages, determine whether they are high-risk and have negative sentiment and generate a warning message.
[1922] Message: I don't want to go to school anymore
[1923] In this way, if a minor encounters a dangerous situation or negative emotions on social media while in an autonomous vehicle, parents can be quickly warned and supported in taking appropriate action.
[1924] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1925] Step 1:
[1926] The device collects data on social media.
[1927] Input: Messages and posts sent or received by users on social media.
[1928] Processing: The device monitors these messages and posts in real time and collects data.
[1929] Output: Collected social media data.
[1930] Operation: For example, if a user posts, "I'm looking forward to making plans to hang out with my friends," the device collects that posting data.
[1931] Step 2:
[1932] The terminal preprocesses the collected data.
[1933] Input: Social media data collected in step 1.
[1934] Processing: Normalize the collected data and remove unnecessary symbols and extra spaces.
[1935] Output: Normalized text data.
[1936] Action: For example, format a post like "I'm looking forward to hanging out with my friends!!!" into "I'm looking forward to hanging out with my friends."
[1937] Step 3:
[1938] The terminal analyzes the preprocessed data using the generation algorithm.
[1939] Input: The text data preprocessed in step 2.
[1940] Processing: Natural language processing algorithms are used to detect risk factors in the text.
[1941] Output: Risk factor analysis results.
[1942] Action: For example, the message "I wish you'd just disappear" is considered defamatory.
[1943] Step 4:
[1944] The terminal uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotional state.
[1945] Input: The text data preprocessed in step 2.
[1946] Processing: The text data is analyzed by the emotion engine to recognize the user's emotional state.
[1947] Output: Emotional state analysis result.
[1948] How it works: For example, detecting a negative emotional state from a message like "I don't want to go to school anymore."
[1949] Step 5:
[1950] The server integrates the results of the generation algorithm and the emotion engine to generate risk information.
[1951] Input: Analysis results from Step 3 and Step 4.
[1952] Processing: Integrate risk factors and emotional states to generate risk information.
[1953] Output: Risk information.
[1954] Behavior: For example, the message "I wish you'd just disappear" combined with a negative emotional state could be considered "high risk."
[1955] Step 6:
[1956] The server generates a warning based on the risk information.
[1957] Input: Risk information generated in Step 5.
[1958] Action: Generate a warning message based on the risk information.
[1959] Output: A warning message.
[1960] What it does: For example, generate a warning that says, "Your child has received bullying messages and is feeling very stressed."
[1961] Step 7:
[1962] The server generates and sends the alert to the parent.
[1963] Input: The warning message generated in step 6.
[1964] Action: Send a warning message to parents via email and / or SMS.
[1965] Output: The warning message sent.
[1966] What it does: For example, an email is sent to a parent's email address stating, "Your child has received a bullying message and is feeling very stressed."
[1967] By following these steps, even if a minor encounters a dangerous situation on social media, parents can be quickly notified and prompted to take appropriate action.
[1968] 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.
[1969] 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.
[1970] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[1971] 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.
[1972] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and actions arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[1973] 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.
[1974] 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).
[1975] 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.
[1976] 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."
[1977] 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.
[1978] 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).
[1979] 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.
[1980] 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.
[1981] 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.
[1982] 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.
[1983] 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.
[1984] 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.
[1985] 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.
[1986] 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.
