[0168] Step 1:
[0169] Users upload images and videos taken from their smartphones to the cloud server. In addition, users also upload a script. The inputs include image files, video files, and the script in text file format. The cloud server receives and stores these files. The output is data confirming that the uploaded files are stored on the cloud server.
[0170] Specifically, the user taps the "Upload" button in the application, selects a file, and sends it. The server receives the HTTP request and saves the file in the specified directory.
[0171] Step 2:
[0172] The server stores the uploaded images, videos, and scripts, storing the data in a database organized by user. Inputs include the files received in step 1. Outputs include organized folders and confirmation that the files have been saved to the database.
[0173] Specifically, the server performs a database operation to store files in separate directories for each user.
[0174] Step 3:
[0175] The server passes the stored images and videos to a generative AI model for analysis. The AI model uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the script and then uses an image classification algorithm to select images and videos based on that analysis. The input includes the script's text data and image / video files. The output is a list of selected images and videos.
[0176] Specifically, the server generates a prompt for the AI model and makes an API call to obtain the analysis results. Examples of prompts include the following:
[0177] Script: I want to include the graduation scene first, followed by photos with friends.
[0178] Please select the most suitable images and videos.
[0179] Step 4:
[0180] The server generates a movie from the selected images and videos. It uses the Python "moviepy" library to determine the order of the selected images and videos and add transition effects and background music. The input includes the list of selected images and videos obtained from the AI model in step 3. The output is an edited movie file.
[0181] Specifically, the server uses the "moviepy" library to combine each media file and add specified effects and music.
[0182] Step 5:
[0183] The resulting movie is stored on a server and made available for user access. The input includes the completed movie file. The output is a movie file ready for users to watch or download.
[0184] Specifically, the server saves the completed movie file in a specific directory and generates an access link for the user, who taps the link through the application interface to watch or download the movie.
[0185] 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.
[0186] This invention is a system that effectively organizes a large number of images and videos taken by users and edits them into a single movie. The system aims to select and edit the optimal images and videos based on a script provided by the user, and provide them as a movie. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, more personalized movie generation becomes possible.
[0187] System configuration

Specifically, it analyzes the content of the script using natural language processing technology and the content of the images and videos using an image classification algorithm. It also uses the results of the emotion engine to select the most emotionally appropriate material.
[0197] 5. Movie generation function:
[0198] The server then passes the selected images and videos back to the AI model to generate the movie. The AI model then determines the sequence of the footage, adds transition effects and background music, and executes the editing process for the movie. Scene placement and effects are also adjusted based on the emotional data.
[0199] 6. Movie features:
[0200] The completed movie is stored on a server and made accessible to users, and the server links the movie file to a user interface.
[0201] Users can watch or download movies generated from the server through their terminals, and the server provides movie data in response to user requests.
[0202] Specific examples
[0203] For example, consider the case where User A has wedding photos and videos and wants to create a movie based on them. User A uploads the photos, videos, and a script depicting the touching moments of the wedding from his / her device to the cloud server. The server stores the received data.
[0204] Next, the server uses an emotion engine to analyze User A's facial expressions and voice from images and videos to obtain emotional data. The AI model then analyzes the script content using natural language processing technology and selects appropriate photos and videos using an image classification algorithm. At the same time, it also refers to the results of the emotion engine to select the most emotionally appropriate material.
[0205] The server then begins generating the movie based on this selected data. The AI model determines the order of scenes, applies transition effects, adds background music, and edits it into a movie, making adjustments based on the emotional data. The finished movie is then stored on the server.
[0206] Finally, User A uses a terminal to watch or download a movie from the server. The server provides movie data in response to the user's request, allowing User A to enjoy a movie that reflects his or her memories in a way that is emotionally relevant.

[0217] Step 5:
[0218] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice from images and videos, and sends the recognized emotion data back to the server, where it is stored.
[0219] Step 6:
[0220] The server inputs the stored images and videos into an AI model and selects the most appropriate material based on the script and emotional data. Specifically, it analyzes the content of the script using natural language processing technology and the content of the images and videos using an image classification algorithm. It also refers to the emotional data recognized by the emotion engine to select emotionally appropriate material.
[0221] Step 7:
[0222] The AI model sends the selected images and videos back to the server, which temporarily stores the selected materials.
[0223] Step 8:
[0224] The server then inputs the selected images and videos back into the AI model, which then begins generating the movie. The AI model then determines the sequence of the footage and edits the movie, adding transition effects and background music. Scene placement and effects are also adjusted based on the emotional data.
[0225] Step 9:
[0226] The completed movie is stored on a server and made accessible to users, and the server links the completed movie file to a user interface.
[0227] Step 10:
[0228] The user accesses the server through a terminal to view or download the generated movie, and the server provides the movie file in response to the user's request.

[0715] An "emotion recognition engine" is software or hardware that analyzes a user's emotions from images and videos and generates emotion data.
[0716] "Storage means" refers to a combination of software and hardware for storing uploaded images and videos in a storage device such as a database.
[0717] The "analyzing means" refers to algorithms and processing devices that perform data analysis based on stored images and videos, as well as scripts, and select appropriate material.
[0718] The "generating means" refers to the algorithms and processing devices that utilize the selected images and video to create a movie.
[0719] The "means for providing" refers to the software and hardware configuration for providing the generated movie to users and enabling viewing and downloading.
[0720] This invention is a system that edits a large number of images and videos taken by a user into a single movie based on a script, and in particular, by combining an emotion recognition engine and a generative artificial intelligence model, it enables the creation of more personalized movies.

[1308] Step 5:
[1309] The resulting movie is stored on a server and made available for user access. The input includes the completed movie file. The output is a movie file ready for users to watch or download.
[1310] Specifically, the server saves the completed movie file in a specific directory and generates an access link for the user, who taps the link through the application interface to watch or download the movie.
[1311] 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.
[1312] This invention is a system that effectively organizes a large number of images and videos taken by users and edits them into a single movie. The system aims to select and edit the optimal images and videos based on a script provided by the user, and provide them as a movie. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, more personalized movie generation becomes possible.
[1313] System configuration
[1314] 1. Image and video upload feature:
[1315] Users upload captured images and videos from their own devices to the cloud server, and at the same time, they also upload the script.
[1316] The device sends the images, videos, and script selected by the user to a cloud server.
[1317] 2. Data storage function:
[1318] The server stores the received images, videos, and scripts in the appropriate database, organized by user, for further processing.
[1319] 3. Emotion recognition function:
[1320] The server inputs the stored images and videos into an emotion engine and recognizes emotion data from the user's facial expressions and voice.
[1321] 4. Image and video analysis features:
[1322] The server inputs the stored images and videos into an AI and emotion engine, and selects the most appropriate material based on the script and emotional data. Specifically, it analyzes the content of the script using natural language processing technology and the content of the images and videos using an image classification algorithm. It also uses the results of the emotion engine to select the most emotionally appropriate material.
[1323] 5. Movie generation function:
[1324] The server then passes the selected images and videos back to the AI model to generate the movie. The AI model then determines the sequence of the footage, adds transition effects and background music, and executes the editing process for the movie. Scene placement and effects are also adjusted based on the emotional data.
[1325] 6. Movie features:
[1326] The completed movie is stored on a server and made accessible to users, and the server links the movie file to a user interface.
[1327] Users can watch or download movies generated from the server through their terminals, and the server provides movie data in response to user requests.
[1328] Specific examples
[1329] For example, consider the case where User A has wedding photos and videos and wants to create a movie based on them. User A uploads the photos, videos, and a script depicting the touching moments of the wedding from his / her device to the cloud server. The server stores the received data.
[1330] Next, the server uses an emotion engine to analyze User A's facial expressions and voice from images and videos to obtain emotional data. The AI model then analyzes the script content using natural language processing technology and selects appropriate photos and videos using an image classification algorithm. At the same time, it also refers to the results of the emotion engine to select the most emotionally appropriate material.
[1331] The server then begins generating the movie based on this selected data. The AI model determines the order of scenes, applies transition effects, adds background music, and edits it into a movie, making adjustments based on the emotional data. The finished movie is then stored on the server.
[1332] Finally, User A uses a terminal to watch or download a movie from the server. The server provides movie data in response to the user's request, allowing User A to enjoy a movie that reflects his or her memories in a way that is emotionally relevant.
[1333] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1339] Step 3:
[1340] The server stores the received images, videos, and scripts in the appropriate database, organized by user, for further processing.
[1341] Step 4:
[1342] The server inputs the stored images and videos into an emotion engine and recognizes emotion data from the user's facial expressions and voice.
[1343] Step 5:
[1344] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice from images and videos, and sends the recognized emotion data back to the server, where it is stored.
[1345] Step 6:
[1346] The server inputs the stored images and videos into an AI model and selects the most appropriate material based on the script and emotional data. Specifically, it analyzes the content of the script using natural language processing technology and the content of the images and videos using an image classification algorithm. It also refers to the emotional data recognized by the emotion engine to select emotionally appropriate material.
[1347] Step 7:
[1348] The AI model sends the selected images and videos back to the server, which temporarily stores the selected materials.
[1349] Step 8:
[1350] The server then inputs the selected images and videos back into the AI model, which then begins generating the movie. The AI model then determines the sequence of the footage and edits the movie, adding transition effects and background music. Scene placement and effects are also adjusted based on the emotional data.
[1351] Step 9:
[1352] The completed movie is stored on a server and made accessible to users, and the server links the completed movie file to a user interface.
[1353] Step 10:
[1354] The user accesses the server through a terminal to view or download the generated movie, and the server provides the movie file in response to the user's request.

[1458] (Application example 2)
[1459] 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."
[1460] Conventional image and video editing systems make it difficult for users to create personalized movies based on their own emotions and scenarios. Manually organizing and editing large amounts of material is laborious and time-consuming. Furthermore, since advanced editing using emotion analysis is not possible, it is not possible to generate content that is in tune with the user's emotions. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can easily generate and provide personalized movies based on the user's emotions and scenarios.
[1461] 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.
[1462] In this invention, the server includes a means for uploading images and videos taken by a user, a means for saving the uploaded images and videos, a means for analyzing the saved images and videos and selecting appropriate images and videos based on a script provided by the user, a means for adjusting scene placement and effects based on the user's emotions using an emotion recognition engine with a generative artificial intelligence model, and a means for providing the generated movie, thereby enabling easy generation of personalized movies based on the user's emotions and scenarios.
[1463] A "user" is an individual or corporation that uses this system and wishes to upload images and videos they have taken and a script to create a movie.
[1464] "Images and videos" are still images and videos taken by users, and are digital files used as material for movies.
[1465] A "script" is a document provided by a user that describes the content and story of a movie, and serves as a guideline for generating the movie.
[1466] An "emotion recognition engine" is software or hardware that analyzes a user's emotions from images and videos and generates emotion data.
[1467] "Storage means" refers to a combination of software and hardware for storing uploaded images and videos in a storage device such as a database.
[1468] The "analyzing means" refers to algorithms and processing devices that perform data analysis based on stored images and videos, as well as scripts, and select appropriate material.
[1469] The "generating means" refers to the algorithms and processing devices that utilize the selected images and video to create a movie.
[1470] The "means for providing" refers to the software and hardware configuration for providing the generated movie to users and enabling viewing and downloading.
[1471] This invention is a system that edits a large number of images and videos taken by a user into a single movie based on a script, and in particular, by combining an emotion recognition engine and a generative artificial intelligence model, it enables the creation of more personalized movies. This system is realized using a server, a terminal, and the following hardware and software.
[1472] Hardware and software:
[1473] Smartphone: A device that allows users to take and upload images and videos.

[1476] Natural language processing technology (e.g., NLTK, SpaCy): Software for analyzing the content of scripts.
[1477] Image classification algorithms (e.g., OpenCV): Software for analyzing the content of images and videos.
[1478] Video editing software (e.g., MoviePy): Software for editing a selection of images and videos to create a movie.
[1479] Web frameworks (e.g., Flask, Django): A framework for cloud servers to process and serve data.
[1480] Overview of what the system does:
[1481] 1. A way for users to upload images and videos
[1482] Users upload images and videos taken with their smartphones, as well as scripts, to a cloud server, where the uploaded data is stored.
[1483] 2. Means of data storage
[1484] The cloud server organizes and stores the uploaded images, videos, and scripts in a database.
[1485] 3. Image and video analysis methods
[1486] The server uses an emotion recognition engine to obtain user emotion data from uploaded images and videos, analyzes the script content using natural language processing technology, and selects appropriate images and videos using an image classification algorithm.
[1487] 4. A means of generating a film based on selected material
[1488] The server inputs the selected images and videos into video editing software, which uses generative AI models to determine the order of scenes, adds transition effects and background music, and adjusts scene placement and effects based on emotional data.
[1489] 5. Means of providing the generated movie
[1490] Users can access, watch, or download completed movies stored on the cloud server from devices such as smartphones.
[1491] Examples:
[1492] Users upload photos and videos from their family trips and are provided with a script based on "fun" and "emotional" elements. The server uses an emotion recognition engine to select happy expressions and touching scenes from the images and videos. It then analyzes the script using natural language processing technology and selects appropriate material using an image classification algorithm. A generative AI model is used to create a movie based on the selected material. Finally, users can watch or download the generated movie from their device.
[1493] Example prompt sentence:
[1494] "Using user-uploaded family vacation photos and videos, use an emotion engine to generate a movie highlighting the fun moments."
[1495] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1496] Step 1:
[1497] This is the stage where users upload images and videos.
[1498] Input: User-taken images, video, and script
[1499] How it works: A user selects images, videos, and scripts using a smartphone application and uploads them to a cloud server. The application then sends these files to the cloud server.
[1500] Output: Images, videos, and script files uploaded to the cloud server
[1501] Step 2:
[1502] This is the stage where the server stores the data.
[1503] Input: Uploaded images, videos, and script files
[1504] Specific operations: The server receives these files and stores each in a database, organizing the database based on user identification information for subsequent processing.
[1505] Output: Images, videos, and script files stored in a database
[1506] Step 3:
[1507] This is the stage where the server acquires emotion data using an emotion recognition engine.
[1508] Input: Image and video files stored in a database
[1509] Specific operation: Using an emotion recognition engine (EmotionEngine), the server analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice from images and videos, and generates emotion data. The emotion data is associated with each file.
[1510] Output: Image and video files associated with emotion data
[1511] Step 4:
[1512] This is the stage where the server analyzes the script, images and videos and selects appropriate materials.
[1513] Input: scripts, images, videos, and emotion data stored in a database
[1514] Specific operation: Analyze the script using natural language processing technology (NLTK, SpaCy) and extract selection criteria. Then, analyze images and videos using an image classification algorithm (OpenCV) and select appropriate materials based on the script and emotion data.
[1515] Output: Selected image and video files
[1516] Step 5:
[1517] This is the stage where the server generates the movie based on the selected material.
[1518] Input: Selected image and video files
[1519] How it works: Using video editing software (MoviePy) and a generative AI model, the server determines the order based on the selected images and videos, adds transition effects and background music, and adjusts scene placement and effects based on emotional data.
[1520] Output: Generated movie file
[1521] Step 6:
[1522] The server now serves the generated movie.
[1523] Input: Generated movie file
[1524] Specific operation: The cloud server stores the generated movie in a database and generates a link that users can access. Users can access the server from their own devices and watch or download the generated movie.
[1525] Output: Movie file that users can watch or download
[1526] 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.
[1527] 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.
[1528] 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.
[1529] 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.
[1530] 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.
[1531] 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.
[1532] 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).
[1533] 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.
[1534] 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."
[1535] 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.
[1536] 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).
[1537] 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.
[1538] 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.
