[0193] The collected audio data is transcribed and summarized as follows:

[0194] Summary: Worker A has started assembling part number 1234, and Worker B has finished preparing the tooling.

[0195] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0196] By prefaced the collected text data with the prompt "Summarize today's work:" as the input to the generative AI model, the data can be made suitable for the T5 model.

[0197] Prompt: Summary of today's tasks: Next we will assemble part number 1234. Got it. Tools are ready.

[0198] This approach makes it possible to visualize the work status within the factory and to make operational improvements quickly and effectively.

[0199] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0200] Step 1:

[0201] The terminal collects audio data using microphones installed in the factory. Specifically, it captures the conversations and work sounds of workers in real time. The input data is audio data, and the output is the collected raw audio data.

[0202] Step 2:

[0203] The device converts the collected voice data into text data using speech recognition software. Specifically, it uses the Google Speech Recognition API to convert the voice data into text with high accuracy. The input data is voice data, and the output is the corresponding text data.

[0204] Step 3:

[0205] The terminal transmits the converted text data to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS). Specifically, the text data is encoded using the HTTPS protocol and transmitted to the server. The input data is the text data, and the output is a transmission completion status to the server.

[0206] Step 4:

[0207] The server saves the received text data in a database and prepares it for subsequent processing. Specifically, it receives the text data and stores it in a database. The input data is the text data, and the output is a status indicating whether it has been saved to the database.

[0208] Step 5:

[0209] The server analyzes the stored text data using a generative AI model (e.g., Hugging Face's T5 model) to extract and summarize important information. Specifically, the text data is fed as input to the T5 model along with the prompt, and a summary is generated. The input data is the stored text data and the prompt, and the output is the summarized text data.

[0210] Step 6:

[0211] The server creates a report for the operator based on the summarized data. Specifically, it formats the summarized data and composes it into a report document. The input data is summarized text data, and the output is a document in report format.

[0212] Step 7:

[0213] The server provides the generated report to the user (operator, administrator) through a web portal or mobile app. Specifically, it uploads the report document to the database of the web portal or mobile app and makes it accessible to the user. The input data is a report-formatted document, and the output is the report provision status that can be accessed by the user.

[0214] 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.

[0215] This invention is a system that collects and analyzes voice data from children in educational settings and provides information to parents based on that data. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes and analyzes children's emotional states. This system consistently performs all processes, from collecting voice data to converting it to text, summarizing it, recognizing emotions, and generating and providing reports.

[0216] System Configuration

[0217] 1. Terminal (sound collection microphone and processing device installed in the classroom)

[0218] Microphones installed in classrooms collect children's conversations and comments in real time. The microphones are positioned to effectively capture the speech of teachers and students. This audio data is processed within the device.

[0219] 2. Voice recognition and data transmission

[0220] The audio data collected in the classroom is converted into text data using speech recognition software installed on the device, such as the Google Speech Recognition API, and then transmitted to a server via a secure communication protocol (such as HTTPS).

[0221] 3. Server (Centralized Processing System)

[0222] The server receives the text data sent from the device and stores it in a database. The stored text data is then summarized using generative AI technology (such as the T5 model of Hugging Face). At the same time, an emotion engine analyzes the text data and recognizes the child's emotions.

[0223] 4. Emotion Engine

[0224] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the converted text data and identifies the user's emotions, such as joy, sadness, anger, etc. This engine utilizes, for example, natural language processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning algorithms.

[0225] 5. Report Generation

[0226] Based on the summary data and emotion recognition results, the server generates a detailed report for parents, which includes highlights of their child's daily learning progress and emotional state, and is provided to parents via a web portal and mobile app.

[0227] Program Processing Details

[0228] Audio data collection and text conversion

[0229] The device collects voice data from within the classroom and converts it into text data using voice recognition software. For example, using voice recognition technology, a voice saying, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?" can be converted into text as, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?"

[0230] Sending data

[0231] Text data from the device is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol, which receives the data and stores it in a database.

[0232] Summarizing text data

[0233] The server uses generative AI technology to summarize the received text data, for example generating an overall summary of the day's lessons, such as "Today we had math class. The children asked questions enthusiastically and achieved many results."

[0234] emotion recognition

[0235] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and identifies the emotional state of the children. For example, it recognizes the emotion of "joy" from the text "I had a lot of fun today."

[0236] Report Generation

[0237] Based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results, a detailed report is generated for parents, such as, "Today we had math class and the children actively participated. They seemed to be having fun."

[0238] Providing reports

[0239] The generated reports are provided to parents via a web portal or mobile application, allowing them to understand their child's growth, learning progress, and emotional state.

[0240] Specific examples

[0241] For example, consider the following conversation taking place during a classroom lesson:

[0242] Teacher: "We're starting math today. Are you all ready?"

[0243] Child A: "Yes!"

[0244] Child B: "I'll do my best!"

[0245] This audio is collected and transcribed by speech recognition software as follows:

[0246] "Today we will begin our math lesson. Are you all ready? Yes! Let's do our best!"

[0247] The server receives this text data and summarizes it as follows:

[0248] "We had a math lesson today. The children came prepared and engaged in the lesson."

[0249] At the same time, the emotional data analyzed by the emotion engine indicates "joy" and "high motivation," which are incorporated into the report.

[0250] When parents access this report, they can see things like, "Today we had math class, and the children were actively engaged. They seemed to be particularly enjoying themselves." This will enable parents to get a detailed understanding of their children's daily learning and emotional changes.

[0251] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0252] Step 1:

[0253] Device:

[0254] Microphones installed in classrooms collect children's conversations and comments in real time. The microphones are placed in the center of the classroom or in key locations to capture all surrounding sounds, allowing the entire situation in the classroom to be understood.

[0255] Step 2:

[0256] Device:

[0257] The collected voice data is converted into text data using voice recognition software (e.g., Google Speech Recognition API) installed on the device. Voice recognition software has the ability to process natural language and can convert voice into text with high accuracy.

[0258] Step 3:

[0259] Device:

[0260] The converted text data is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS), which is important to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the data.

[0261] Step 4:

[0262] server:

[0263] The server receives text data sent from the terminal via the endpoint, and stores the received text data in a database for subsequent analysis and processing.

[0264] Step 5:

[0265] server:

[0266] The stored text data is analyzed using generative AI technology (e.g., Hugging Face's T5 model), which extracts important information and generates a summary. The generative AI combines multiple summarization techniques to provide a summary that contains the most useful information.

[0267] Step 6:

[0268] server:

[0269] At the same time, an emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and recognizes the children's emotional state. The emotion engine uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract emotional nuances from the text and identify emotions such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger."

[0270] Step 7:

[0271] server:

[0272] The summarized data and emotion recognition results are used to generate a detailed report for parents, including lesson highlights, children's engagement, and observed emotional states.

[0273] Step 8:

[0274] server:

[0275] The generated reports are uploaded to a web portal or mobile application for parental access, and an authentication system ensures that only parents can access and review the reports.

[0276] Step 9:

[0277] User (Parent):

[0278] Parents can log in to a dedicated web portal or mobile application and view the provided reports, which provide detailed insight into their child's academic progress, engagement and emotional state.

[0279] Step 10:

[0280] server:

[0281] The system detects specific keywords in real time from collected voice and text data, and uses an emotion engine to identify signs of negative emotions or bullying. If any are identified, the server automatically generates an alert and notifies teachers and administrators, enabling a rapid response.

[0282] Example 2

[0283] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0325] Example 3: "Recognize the emotion in the following text. Input text: 'I had a lot of fun today.'"

[0326] In this way, the system of the present invention allows parents to easily and in detail understand their children's learning situation and emotional state through a series of processes: collecting voice data in the classroom, converting it into text data, summarizing it, recognizing emotions, and generating and providing reports.

[0327] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0328] Processing Steps

[0329] Step 1: Collecting audio data

[0330] The device collects audio from within the classroom

[0331] A microphone installed on each device collects speech in the classroom in real time. This microphone is positioned to effectively capture speech from the teacher and students. For example, the input collected is the voice of a teacher saying, "Today's math class. Are you all ready?" Real-time audio data is generated as the output.

[0332] Step 2: Speech to text

[0333] The device converts the voice data into text data.

[0334] Using speech recognition software installed on the device, the collected voice data is converted into text data in real time. For example, the input voice is "Today is math class.

[0335] Step 3: Sending data

[0336] Send text data from the device to the server

[0337] The generated text data is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS). For example, the text data converted on the terminal, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?", is sent to the server as input. The server receives the text data as output.

[0338] Step 4: Save your data

[0339] The server receives and stores the text data.

[0340] The server receives the text data sent from the terminal and stores it in a database. As input, it receives the text data "Today is math class. Are you all ready?" and stores it in the database as output. The data is stored in the database along with the collection time and sender information.

[0341] Step 5: Summarizing the text data

[0342] The server summarizes the text data

[0343] The server uses generative AI technology (e.g., a text summarization model) to concisely summarize the received text data. The input is the received text data, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?". The output is the summary data, "Today we had math class. The children participated enthusiastically."

[0344] Step 6: Emotion Recognition

[0345] The server analyzes the text data and recognizes the emotional state.

[0346] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data using natural language processing technology to identify the children's emotional state. The input is the text data to be analyzed: "I had a lot of fun today." The emotional state "joy" is recognized as the output.

[0347] Step 7: Generate reports

[0348] The server generates a report that integrates the summary data and the sentiment results.

[0349] The server generates a detailed report for parents based on the summary data and emotion recognition results. The input is the summary data "Today we had a math class. The children participated enthusiastically" and the emotion data "joy." The output is a report stating, "Today we had a math class. The children participated enthusiastically. They seemed to be having a particularly good time."

[0350] Step 8: Reporting

[0351] The server provides the generated report to the parent.

[0352] The generated report is provided to parents through a web portal or mobile application. The input is the generated report: "Today we had math class and the children participated actively. They seemed to enjoy it especially." As an output, the report is sent to the parents, who can access and view it.

[0353] Through these steps, this system can efficiently collect and analyze classroom voice data and provide useful information to parents.

[0354] (Application example 2)

[0355] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0356] Traditional customer feedback systems rely on collecting opinions directly from customers or answering surveys, making it difficult to provide real-time feedback or perform detailed sentiment analysis. As a result, restaurants and food delivery companies continue to struggle to obtain effective data for improving customer satisfaction and employee training. Furthermore, improving employee response and speedy service improvements are difficult challenges.

[0357] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting voice data in the classroom, means for converting the collected voice data into text data, means for summarizing the converted text data, means for analyzing the text data and recognizing the emotional state, and means for providing the summarized data and the recognition result of the emotional state to the guardian. This makes it possible to obtain customer feedback in real time, analyze the emotional state, and quickly improve responses and train employees.

[0358] "Audio data" refers to audio information collected within a restaurant or a specific space, including conversations between customers and employees and environmental sounds.

[0359] "Text data" is digital data that has been converted from collected voice data into text information using voice recognition technology.

[0360] A "summary" is digital information that extracts important parts from text data and summarizes them in a concise form.

[0361] "Emotional state" is information that identifies a person's emotions (for example, joy, anger, sadness, etc.) obtained by analyzing text data.

[0362] "Parent" refers to the guardian or guardian of the child of the system user in an educational setting, but in this application example, it refers to the manager or person in charge of the restaurant to which the report is provided.

[0363] "Analysis results" are the information obtained by analyzing the collected text data and emotional state.

[0364] "Report" means a detailed report generated based on the Analysis Results and Emotion Recognition Results.

[0365] "Employee training" means using the collected and analyzed information to provide training and guidance to restaurant staff to improve the quality of their service.

[0366] "Improving customer service" means optimizing service content and delivery methods to improve customer satisfaction based on analyzed data and reports.

[0367] An "alert" is a warning message that is used to quickly notify an administrator of a specific situation based on collected voice data and key information.

[0368] To implement this invention, the following system and processing steps are required: First, a microphone is installed in the restaurant to collect sound data. This microphone collects conversations and environmental sounds in the restaurant in real time.

[0369] The device processes the voice data received from the microphone and converts it into text data. This conversion is performed using voice recognition software. For example, the Google Speech Recognition API can be used. The device then transmits the converted text data to a server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS).

[0370] The server stores the received text data in a database and summarizes it using generative AI technology, such as the Hugging Face T5 model. At the same time, an emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and identifies the customer's emotional state. This emotion engine utilizes natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms.

[0371] Based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results, the server generates a detailed report, which includes information for employee training and customer service improvement, and is provided to managers via a web portal or mobile application.

[0372] Specific examples

[0373] For example, consider the following conversation taking place in a restaurant:

[0374] Customer: "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little slow."

[0375] This audio is collected and transcribed by speech recognition software as follows:

[0376] "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little late."

[0377] The server receives this text data and summarizes it as follows:

[0378] "A customer who had roast duck today was pleased with the taste of the food, but was unhappy with the slow delivery."

[0379] At the same time, the emotional data analyzed by the emotion engine indicates "satisfaction" and "dissatisfaction," which are incorporated into the report.

[0380] When parents access this report, they can see that "the customer was satisfied with the taste of the food, but was dissatisfied with the slow delivery time." Based on this information, the restaurant can review the way staff respond and the time it takes to provide service.

[0381] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0382] "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little late."

[0383] This system allows restaurants to understand customer satisfaction in real time and quickly improve their responses, making it easy to obtain data that can be used for employee training and service improvement.

[0384] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0385] Step 1:

[0386] The device collects audio data through a microphone installed in the restaurant. The input data includes conversations between customers and employees, as well as the surrounding environmental sounds. The collected audio data is temporarily stored in the device.

[0387] Step 2:

[0388] The device converts the collected voice data into text data using voice recognition software. Specifically, the voice recognition software (e.g., Google Speech Recognition API) analyzes the input voice data and converts it into corresponding text data. The text data is generated within the device.

[0389] Step 3:

[0390] The terminal transmits the converted text data to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS), where the input is the converted text data and the output is the data transmission to the server.

[0391] Step 4:

[0392] The server stores the received text data in a database. The stored text data is used in subsequent processing steps. The input here is the text data sent from the terminal, and the output is the data stored in the database.

[0393] Step 5:

[0394] The server uses generative AI technology to summarize the stored text data. For example, the Hugging Face T5 model is used in this summarization process. The input is the stored text data, and the output is the summarized text data. Specifically, the important parts of the text data are extracted and summarized in a concise form.

[0395] Step 6:

[0396] The emotion engine installed on the server analyzes the summarized text data and identifies the customer's emotional state. The emotion engine utilizes natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms. The input is the summarized text data, and the output is the identification result of the emotional state. Specifically, emotions such as joy, anger, and sadness are identified from the text content.

[0397] Step 7:

[0398] The server generates a detailed report based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results. The generated report contains information useful for employee training and improving customer service. The input is the summarized data and emotion recognition results, and the output is a report document.

[0399] Step 8:

[0400] The server provides the generated report to the administrator via a web portal or mobile application. The input here is the generated report, and the output is the report provided to the administrator. The administrator can access this report and check and implement improvements.

[0401] Through these processing steps, the system can collect and analyze customer feedback in real time, providing specific data that can be used to train employees and improve customer service.

[0402] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0403] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (registered trademark) (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.

[0404] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific process 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 process may be performed by the smart device 14.

[0535] The report is then made accessible to parents through a web portal or mobile app, where parents can access the portal, view the generated report, and download it if desired.

[0536] Input: Summarized text data, Output: Parent-readable report

[0537] (Application example 1)

[0538] 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."

[0539] In today's factories, it is difficult to grasp the work situation in real time and manage it efficiently. In particular, there is a lack of means to effectively utilize information obtained from communication between workers and work sounds, which can make it difficult to improve work efficiency or ensure safety. Therefore, there is a need for a system that uses voice data to visualize the work situation in the factory and supports work progress management and identification of areas for improvement.

[0540] 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.

[0558] 3. Users (operators, administrators)

[0559] Users can access the generated reports via a dedicated web portal or mobile app to check the status of operations within the factory and receive advice on how to improve efficiency.

[0560] Program processing flow

[0561] Audio data collection and text conversion

[0562] The device uses microphones installed in the factory to capture the voices and sounds of workers. This voice data is converted into text using speech recognition software. For example, by using the Google Speech Recognition API, speech can be converted into text with high accuracy.

[0563] Sending data

[0564] The converted text data is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS).

[0565] Receiving and storing data

[0566] The server stores the received text data in a database and prepares it for further processing, after which the stored data can be retrieved and used for analysis.

[0567] Generative AI summarization

[0568] On the server, the stored text data is analyzed using generative AI (e.g., Hugging Face's T5 model) to summarize the highlights and important information of the work. This summary forms the basis of the generated report.

[0569] Generate and deliver reports

[0570] Based on the summarized data, the server generates reports for operators, including progress reports and recommendations for improving efficiency, which are then made available to operators and managers via a web portal or mobile app.

[0571] Specific examples

[0572] For example, if the following conversation takes place on a work site:

[0573] Worker A: "Next, I'll assemble part number 1234."

[0574] Worker B: "Got it. Tools are ready."

[0575] The collected audio data is transcribed and summarized as follows:

[0576] Summary: Worker A has started assembling part number 1234, and Worker B has finished preparing the tooling.

[0577] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0578] By prefaced the collected text data with the prompt "Summarize today's work:" as the input to the generative AI model, the data can be made suitable for the T5 model.

[0579] Prompt: Summary of today's tasks: Next we will assemble part number 1234. Got it. Tools are ready.

[0580] This approach makes it possible to visualize the work status within the factory and to make operational improvements quickly and effectively.

Specifically, the text data is encoded using the HTTPS protocol and transmitted to the server. The input data is the text data, and the output is a transmission completion status to the server.

[0588] Step 4:

[0589] The server saves the received text data in a database and prepares it for subsequent processing. Specifically, it receives the text data and stores it in a database. The input data is the text data, and the output is a status indicating whether it has been saved to the database.

[0590] Step 5:

[0591] The server analyzes the stored text data using a generative AI model (e.g., Hugging Face's T5 model) to extract and summarize important information. Specifically, the text data is fed as input to the T5 model along with the prompt, and a summary is generated. The input data is the stored text data and the prompt, and the output is the summarized text data.

[0592] Step 6:

[0593] The server creates a report for the operator based on the summarized data. Specifically, it formats the summarized data and composes it into a report document. The input data is summarized text data, and the output is a document in report format.

[0594] Step 7:

[0595] The server provides the generated report to the user (operator, administrator) through a web portal or mobile app. Specifically, it uploads the report document to the database of the web portal or mobile app and makes it accessible to the user. The input data is a report-formatted document, and the output is the report provision status that can be accessed by the user.

[0596] 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.

[0597] This invention is a system that collects and analyzes voice data from children in educational settings and provides information to parents based on that data. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes and analyzes children's emotional states. This system consistently performs all processes, from collecting voice data to converting it to text, summarizing it, recognizing emotions, and generating and providing reports.

[0598] System Configuration

[0599] 1. Terminal (sound collection microphone and processing device installed in the classroom)

[0600] Microphones installed in classrooms collect children's conversations and comments in real time. The microphones are positioned to effectively capture the speech of teachers and students. This audio data is processed within the device.

[0601] 2. Voice recognition and data transmission

[0602] The audio data collected in the classroom is converted into text data using speech recognition software installed on the device, such as the Google Speech Recognition API, and then transmitted to a server via a secure communication protocol (such as HTTPS).

[0603] 3. Server (Centralized Processing System)

[0604] The server receives the text data sent from the device and stores it in a database. The stored text data is then summarized using generative AI technology (such as the T5 model of Hugging Face). At the same time, an emotion engine analyzes the text data and recognizes the child's emotions.

[0605] 4. Emotion Engine

[0606] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the converted text data and identifies the user's emotions, such as joy, sadness, anger, etc. This engine utilizes, for example, natural language processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning algorithms.

[0608] Based on the summary data and emotion recognition results, the server generates a detailed report for parents, which includes highlights of their child's daily learning progress and emotional state, and is provided to parents via a web portal and mobile app.

[0609] Program Processing Details

[0610] Audio data collection and text conversion

[0611] The device collects voice data from within the classroom and converts it into text data using voice recognition software. For example, using voice recognition technology, a voice saying, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?" can be converted into text as, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?"

[0612] Sending data

[0613] Text data from the device is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol, which receives the data and stores it in a database.

[0614] Summarizing text data

[0615] The server uses generative AI technology to summarize the received text data, for example generating an overall summary of the day's lessons, such as "Today we had math class. The children asked questions enthusiastically and achieved many results."

[0616] emotion recognition

[0617] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and identifies the emotional state of the children. For example, it recognizes the emotion of "joy" from the text "I had a lot of fun today."

[0618] Report Generation

[0619] Based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results, a detailed report is generated for parents, such as, "Today we had math class and the children actively participated. They seemed to be having fun."

[0620] Providing reports

[0621] The generated reports are provided to parents via a web portal or mobile application, allowing them to understand their child's growth, learning progress, and emotional state.

[0622] Specific examples

[0623] For example, consider the following conversation taking place during a classroom lesson:

[0624] Teacher: "We're starting math today. Are you all ready?"

[0625] Child A: "Yes!"

[0626] Child B: "I'll do my best!"

[0627] This audio is collected and transcribed by speech recognition software as follows:

[0628] "Today we will begin our math lesson. Are you all ready? Yes! Let's do our best!"

[0629] The server receives this text data and summarizes it as follows:

[0630] "We had a math lesson today. The children came prepared and engaged in the lesson."

[0631] At the same time, the emotional data analyzed by the emotion engine indicates "joy" and "high motivation," which are incorporated into the report.

[0632] When parents access this report, they can see things like, "Today we had math class, and the children were actively engaged. They seemed to be particularly enjoying themselves." This will enable parents to get a detailed understanding of their children's daily learning and emotional changes.

[0633] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0634] Step 1:

[0635] Device:

[0636] Microphones installed in classrooms collect children's conversations and comments in real time. The microphones are placed in the center of the classroom or in key locations to capture all surrounding sounds, allowing the entire situation in the classroom to be understood.

[0637] Step 2:

[0638] Device:

[0639] The collected voice data is converted into text data using voice recognition software (e.g., Google Speech Recognition API) installed on the device. Voice recognition software has the ability to process natural language and can convert voice into text with high accuracy.

[0640] Step 3:

[0641] Device:

[0642] The converted text data is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS), which is important to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the data.

[0643] Step 4:

[0644] server:

[0645] The server receives text data sent from the terminal via the endpoint, and stores the received text data in a database for subsequent analysis and processing.

[0646] Step 5:

[0647] server:

[0648] The stored text data is analyzed using generative AI technology (e.g., Hugging Face's T5 model), which extracts important information and generates a summary. The generative AI combines multiple summarization techniques to provide a summary that contains the most useful information.

[0649] Step 6:

[0650] server:

[0651] At the same time, an emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and recognizes the children's emotional state. The emotion engine uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract emotional nuances from the text and identify emotions such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger."

[0652] Step 7:

[0653] server:

[0654] The summarized data and emotion recognition results are used to generate a detailed report for parents, including lesson highlights, children's engagement, and observed emotional states.

[0655] Step 8:

[0656] server:

[0657] The generated reports are uploaded to a web portal or mobile application for parental access, and an authentication system ensures that only parents can access and review the reports.

[0658] Step 9:

[0659] User (Parent):

[0660] Parents can log in to a dedicated web portal or mobile application and view the provided reports, which provide detailed insight into their child's academic progress, engagement and emotional state.

[0661] Step 10:

[0662] server:

[0663] The system detects specific keywords in real time from collected voice and text data, and uses an emotion engine to identify signs of negative emotions or bullying. If any are identified, the server automatically generates an alert and notifies teachers and administrators, enabling a rapid response.

[0664] Example 2

[0665] 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."

[0666] In conventional educational systems, teachers and parents spend a lot of time and effort trying to understand the situation of children in the classroom.

Specific embodiments for implementing this system are described below.

[0681] 1. Collection of audio data

[0682] The device collects audio from within the classroom

[0683] Microphones installed in classrooms collect children's conversations and teacher comments in real time. These microphones are positioned to effectively capture what the teacher and students are saying. For example, if a teacher says, "Today's math class. Are you all ready?", that voice will be collected by the microphones.

[0684] 2. Speech-to-text

[0685] The device converts the voice data into text data.

[0686] Using speech recognition software installed on the device (such as Google Speech Recognition API), the collected voice data is converted into text data in real time. For example, the aforementioned speech "Today is math class. Are you all ready?" is converted directly into text data.

[0687] 3. Data transmission and storage

[0688] The device sends text data to the server.

[0689] The generated text data is sent to a server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS). This secure communication prevents data leakage and tampering.

[0690] The server receives and stores the text data.

[0691] The server receives the text data sent from the device and stores it in a database. For example, the text "Today is math class. Are you all ready?" is stored in the database as is.

[0692] 4. Summarizing Text Data

[0693] The server summarizes the text data

[0694] The server uses generative AI technology (e.g., Hugging Face's T5 model) to summarize the received text data. For example, a summary of the day's lessons might be generated, such as, "Today we had math class. The children asked questions enthusiastically and achieved many results."

[0695] 5. Emotion recognition

[0696] The server analyzes the text data and recognizes the emotional state.

[0697] The emotion engine installed on the server uses natural language processing technology to analyze the text data and identify the emotional state of the children. For example, the emotion of "joy" can be recognized from the text "I had a lot of fun today."

[0698] 6. Report Generation

[0699] The server generates a report that integrates the summary data and the sentiment results.

[0700] The server generates a detailed report for parents based on the summary data and emotion recognition results, such as, "Today, we had math class, and the children actively participated. They seemed to be having fun."

[0701] 7. Report provision

[0702] The server provides the generated report to the parent.

[0703] The generated reports are provided to parents via a web portal or mobile application, allowing them to gain detailed insight into their child's academic progress and emotional state.

[0704] Examples of prompt statements

[0705] Example 1: "Please transcribe what is said in class. Input speech: 'Today is math class. Are you all ready?'"

[0706] Example 2: "Summarize the following text. Input text: 'Today is math class. Are you all ready? Yes! Let's do our best!'"

[0707] Example 3: "Recognize the emotion in the following text. Input text: 'I had a lot of fun today.'"

[0708] In this way, the system of the present invention allows parents to easily and in detail understand their children's learning situation and emotional state through a series of processes: collecting voice data in the classroom, converting it into text data, summarizing it, recognizing emotions, and generating and providing reports.

[0709] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0710] Processing Steps

[0711] Step 1: Collecting audio data

[0712] The device collects audio from within the classroom

[0713] A microphone installed on each device collects speech in the classroom in real time. This microphone is positioned to effectively capture speech from the teacher and students. For example, the input collected is the voice of a teacher saying, "Today's math class. Are you all ready?" Real-time audio data is generated as the output.

[0714] Step 2: Speech to text

[0715] The device converts the voice data into text data.

[0716] Using speech recognition software installed on the device, the collected voice data is converted into text data in real time. For example, the input voice is "Today is math class. Are you all ready?", and this voice data is converted and output as text data saying "Today is math class. Are you all ready?"

[0717] Step 3: Sending data

[0718] Send text data from the device to the server

[0719] The generated text data is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS). For example, the text data converted on the terminal, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?", is sent to the server as input. The server receives the text data as output.

[0720] Step 4: Save your data

[0721] The server receives and stores the text data.

[0722] The server receives the text data sent from the terminal and stores it in a database. As input, it receives the text data "Today is math class. Are you all ready?" and stores it in the database as output. The data is stored in the database along with the collection time and sender information.

[0723] Step 5: Summarizing the text data

[0724] The server summarizes the text data

[0725] The server uses generative AI technology (e.g., a text summarization model) to concisely summarize the received text data. The input is the received text data, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?". The output is the summary data, "Today we had math class. The children participated enthusiastically."

[0726] Step 6: Emotion Recognition

[0727] The server analyzes the text data and recognizes the emotional state.

[0728] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data using natural language processing technology to identify the children's emotional state. The input is the text data to be analyzed: "I had a lot of fun today." The emotional state "joy" is recognized as the output.

[0729] Step 7: Generate reports

[0730] The server generates a report that integrates the summary data and the sentiment results.

[0731] The server generates a detailed report for parents based on the summary data and emotion recognition results. The input is the summary data "Today we had a math class. The children participated enthusiastically" and the emotion data "joy." The output is a report stating, "Today we had a math class. The children participated enthusiastically. They seemed to be having a particularly good time."

[0732] Step 8: Reporting

[0733] The server provides the generated report to the parent.

[0734] The generated report is provided to parents through a web portal or mobile application. The input is the generated report: "Today we had math class and the children participated actively. They seemed to enjoy it especially." As an output, the report is sent to the parents, who can access and view it.

[0735] Through these steps, this system can efficiently collect and analyze classroom voice data and provide useful information to parents.

[0736] (Application example 2)

[0737] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0738] Traditional customer feedback systems rely on collecting opinions directly from customers or answering surveys, making it difficult to provide real-time feedback or perform detailed sentiment analysis. As a result, restaurants and food delivery companies continue to struggle to obtain effective data for improving customer satisfaction and employee training. Furthermore, improving employee response and speedy service improvements are difficult challenges.

[0739] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting voice data in the classroom, means for converting the collected voice data into text data, means for summarizing the converted text data, means for analyzing the text data and recognizing the emotional state, and means for providing the summarized data and the recognition result of the emotional state to the guardian. This makes it possible to obtain customer feedback in real time, analyze the emotional state, and quickly improve responses and train employees.

[0740] "Audio data" refers to audio information collected within a restaurant or a specific space, including conversations between customers and employees and environmental sounds.

[0741] "Text data" is digital data that has been converted from collected voice data into text information using voice recognition technology.

[0742] A "summary" is digital information that extracts important parts from text data and summarizes them in a concise form.

[0743] "Emotional state" is information that identifies a person's emotions (for example, joy, anger, sadness, etc.) obtained by analyzing text data.

[0744] "Parent" refers to the guardian or guardian of the child of the system user in an educational setting, but in this application example, it refers to the manager or person in charge of the restaurant to which the report is provided.

[0745] "Analysis results" are the information obtained by analyzing the collected text data and emotional state.

[0746] "Report" means a detailed report generated based on the Analysis Results and Emotion Recognition Results.

[0747] "Employee training" means using the collected and analyzed information to provide training and guidance to restaurant staff to improve the quality of their service.

[0748] "Improving customer service" means optimizing service content and delivery methods to improve customer satisfaction based on analyzed data and reports.

[0749] An "alert" is a warning message that is used to quickly notify an administrator of a specific situation based on collected voice data and key information.

[0750] To implement this invention, the following system and processing steps are required: First, a microphone is installed in the restaurant to collect sound data. This microphone collects conversations and environmental sounds in the restaurant in real time.

[0751] The device processes the voice data received from the microphone and converts it into text data. This conversion is performed using voice recognition software. For example, the Google Speech Recognition API can be used. The device then transmits the converted text data to a server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS).

[0752] The server stores the received text data in a database and summarizes it using generative AI technology, such as the Hugging Face T5 model. At the same time, an emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and identifies the customer's emotional state. This emotion engine utilizes natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms.

[0753] Based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results, the server generates a detailed report, which includes information for employee training and customer service improvement, and is provided to managers via a web portal or mobile application.

[0754] Specific examples

[0755] For example, consider the following conversation taking place in a restaurant:

[0756] Customer: "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little slow."

[0757] This audio is collected and transcribed by speech recognition software as follows:

[0758] "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little late."

[0759] The server receives this text data and summarizes it as follows:

[0760] "A customer who had roast duck today was pleased with the taste of the food, but was unhappy with the slow delivery."

[0761] At the same time, the emotional data analyzed by the emotion engine indicates "satisfaction" and "dissatisfaction," which are incorporated into the report.

[0762] When parents access this report, they can see that "the customer was satisfied with the taste of the food, but was dissatisfied with the slow delivery time." Based on this information, the restaurant can review the way staff respond and the time it takes to provide service.

[0763] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0764] "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little late."

[0765] This system allows restaurants to understand customer satisfaction in real time and quickly improve their responses, making it easy to obtain data that can be used for employee training and service improvement.

[0766] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0767] Step 1:

[0768] The device collects audio data through a microphone installed in the restaurant. The input data includes conversations between customers and employees, as well as the surrounding environmental sounds. The collected audio data is temporarily stored in the device.

[0769] Step 2:

[0770] The device converts the collected voice data into text data using voice recognition software. Specifically, the voice recognition software (e.g., Google Speech Recognition API) analyzes the input voice data and converts it into corresponding text data. The text data is generated within the device.

[0771] Step 3:

[0772] The terminal transmits the converted text data to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS), where the input is the converted text data and the output is the data transmission to the server.

[0773] Step 4:

[0774] The server stores the received text data in a database. The stored text data is used in subsequent processing steps. The input here is the text data sent from the terminal, and the output is the data stored in the database.

[0775] Step 5:

[0776] The server uses generative AI technology to summarize the stored text data. For example, the Hugging Face T5 model is used in this summarization process. The input is the stored text data, and the output is the summarized text data. Specifically, the important parts of the text data are extracted and summarized in a concise form.

[0777] Step 6:

[0778] The emotion engine installed on the server analyzes the summarized text data and identifies the customer's emotional state. The emotion engine utilizes natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms. The input is the summarized text data, and the output is the identification result of the emotional state. Specifically, emotions such as joy, anger, and sadness are identified from the text content.

[0779] Step 7:

[0780] The server generates a detailed report based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results. The generated report contains information useful for employee training and improving customer service. The input is the summarized data and emotion recognition results, and the output is a report document.

[0781] Step 8:

[0782] The server provides the generated report to the administrator via a web portal or mobile application. The input here is the generated report, and the output is the report provided to the administrator. The administrator can access this report and check and implement improvements.

[0783] Through these processing steps, the system can collect and analyze customer feedback in real time, providing specific data that can be used to train employees and improve customer service.

[0784] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0785] 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.

[0786] 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 smart glasses 214.

[0916] The server uses the summarized data to create a detailed report for parents. The summarized data is input into a reporting tool, which outputs the report in HTML or PDF format. Specifically, the server embeds the summarized data into a template and generates the report.

[0917] The report is then made accessible to parents through a web portal or mobile app, where parents can access the portal, view the generated report, and download it if desired.

[0918] Input: Summarized text data, Output: Parent-readable report

[0919] (Application example 1)

[0920] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0921] In today's factories, it is difficult to grasp the work situation in real time and manage it efficiently. In particular, there is a lack of means to effectively utilize information obtained from communication between workers and work sounds, which can make it difficult to improve work efficiency or ensure safety. Therefore, there is a need for a system that uses voice data to visualize the work situation in the factory and supports work progress management and identification of areas for improvement.

[0922] 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.

[0931] "Analysis tools" are software or devices used to analyze collected data and extract patterns and important information.

[0932] "Report output means" refers to a device or software for displaying or printing analyzed data and summary results in report format.

[0933] An "alert mechanism" is a device or software that generates a warning or notification when a specified condition is met.

[0934] The present invention is a system for real-time understanding and efficient management of work conditions in a factory. A specific embodiment of this system is described below.

[0935] System Configuration

[0936] 1. Terminal (sound collection microphone and processing device installed in the factory)

[0937] The terminal is a device that processes sound-collecting microphones and data installed in factories. The microphones collect workers' conversations and work sounds in real time. The collected voice data is automatically converted into text data by the terminal's voice recognition software. Specifically, the Google Speech Recognition API is used to convert voice into text with high accuracy.

[0938] 2. Server (centralized processing system)

[0939] The server receives and stores text data sent from the device, extracts important information from the received data, summarizes the text data using generative AI technology, and generates a detailed report based on the analysis results, which is provided to operators and administrators.

[0940] 3. Users (operators, administrators)

[0941] Users can access the generated reports via a dedicated web portal or mobile app to check the status of operations within the factory and receive advice on how to improve efficiency.

[0942] Program processing flow

[0943] Audio data collection and text conversion

[0944] The device uses microphones installed in the factory to capture the voices and sounds of workers. This voice data is converted into text using speech recognition software. For example, by using the Google Speech Recognition API, speech can be converted into text with high accuracy.

[0945] Sending data

[0946] The converted text data is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS).

[0947] Receiving and storing data

[0948] The server stores the received text data in a database and prepares it for further processing, after which the stored data can be retrieved and used for analysis.

[0949] Generative AI summarization

[0950] On the server, the stored text data is analyzed using generative AI (e.g., Hugging Face's T5 model) to summarize the highlights and important information of the work. This summary forms the basis of the generated report.

[0951] Generate and deliver reports

[0952] Based on the summarized data, the server generates reports for operators, including progress reports and recommendations for improving efficiency, which are then made available to operators and managers via a web portal or mobile app.

[0953] Specific examples

[0954] For example, if the following conversation takes place on a work site:

[0955] Worker A: "Next, I'll assemble part number 1234."

[0956] Worker B: "Got it. Tools are ready."

[0957] The collected audio data is transcribed and summarized as follows:

[0958] Summary: Worker A has started assembling part number 1234, and Worker B has finished preparing the tooling.

[0959] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0960] By prefaced the collected text data with the prompt "Summarize today's work:" as the input to the generative AI model, the data can be made suitable for the T5 model.

[0961] Prompt: Summary of today's tasks: Next we will assemble part number 1234. Got it. Tools are ready.

[0962] This approach makes it possible to visualize the work status within the factory and to make operational improvements quickly and effectively.

[0963] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0964] Step 1:

[0965] The terminal collects audio data using microphones installed in the factory. Specifically, it captures the conversations and work sounds of workers in real time. The input data is audio data, and the output is the collected raw audio data.

[0968] Step 3:

[0969] The terminal transmits the converted text data to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS). Specifically, the text data is encoded using the HTTPS protocol and transmitted to the server. The input data is the text data, and the output is a transmission completion status to the server.

[0970] Step 4:

[0971] The server saves the received text data in a database and prepares it for subsequent processing. Specifically, it receives the text data and stores it in a database. The input data is the text data, and the output is a status indicating whether it has been saved to the database.

[0972] Step 5:

[0973] The server analyzes the stored text data using a generative AI model (e.g., Hugging Face's T5 model) to extract and summarize important information. Specifically, the text data is fed as input to the T5 model along with the prompt, and a summary is generated. The input data is the stored text data and the prompt, and the output is the summarized text data.

[0974] Step 6:

[0975] The server creates a report for the operator based on the summarized data. Specifically, it formats the summarized data and composes it into a report document. The input data is summarized text data, and the output is a document in report format.

[0976] Step 7:

[0977] The server provides the generated report to the user (operator, administrator) through a web portal or mobile app. Specifically, it uploads the report document to the database of the web portal or mobile app and makes it accessible to the user. The input data is a report-formatted document, and the output is the report provision status that can be accessed by the user.

[0978] 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.

[0979] This invention is a system that collects and analyzes voice data from children in educational settings and provides information to parents based on that data. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes and analyzes children's emotional states. This system consistently performs all processes, from collecting voice data to converting it to text, summarizing it, recognizing emotions, and generating and providing reports.

[0980] System Configuration

[0981] 1. Terminal (sound collection microphone and processing device installed in the classroom)

[0982] Microphones installed in classrooms collect children's conversations and comments in real time. The microphones are positioned to effectively capture the speech of teachers and students. This audio data is processed within the device.

[0983] 2. Voice recognition and data transmission

[0984] The audio data collected in the classroom is converted into text data using speech recognition software installed on the device, such as the Google Speech Recognition API, and then transmitted to a server via a secure communication protocol (such as HTTPS).

[0985] 3. Server (Centralized Processing System)

[0986] The server receives the text data sent from the device and stores it in a database. The stored text data is then summarized using generative AI technology (such as the T5 model of Hugging Face). At the same time, an emotion engine analyzes the text data and recognizes the child's emotions.

[0987] 4. Emotion Engine

[0988] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the converted text data and identifies the user's emotions, such as joy, sadness, anger, etc. This engine utilizes, for example, natural language processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning algorithms.

[0989] 5. Report Generation

[0990] Based on the summary data and emotion recognition results, the server generates a detailed report for parents, which includes highlights of their child's daily learning progress and emotional state, and is provided to parents via a web portal and mobile app.

[0991] Program Processing Details

[0992] Audio data collection and text conversion

[0993] The device collects voice data from within the classroom and converts it into text data using voice recognition software. For example, using voice recognition technology, a voice saying, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?" can be converted into text as, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?"

[0994] Sending data

[0995] Text data from the device is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol, which receives the data and stores it in a database.

[0996] Summarizing text data

[0997] The server uses generative AI technology to summarize the received text data, for example generating an overall summary of the day's lessons, such as "Today we had math class. The children asked questions enthusiastically and achieved many results."

[0998] emotion recognition

[0999] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and identifies the emotional state of the children. For example, it recognizes the emotion of "joy" from the text "I had a lot of fun today."

[1000] Report Generation

[1001] Based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results, a detailed report is generated for parents, such as, "Today we had math class and the children actively participated. They seemed to be having fun."

[1002] Providing reports

[1003] The generated reports are provided to parents via a web portal or mobile application, allowing them to understand their child's growth, learning progress, and emotional state.

[1004] Specific examples

[1005] For example, consider the following conversation taking place during a classroom lesson:

[1006] Teacher: "We're starting math today. Are you all ready?"

[1007] Child A: "Yes!"

[1008] Child B: "I'll do my best!"

[1009] This audio is collected and transcribed by speech recognition software as follows:

[1010] "Today we will begin our math lesson. Are you all ready? Yes! Let's do our best!"

[1011] The server receives this text data and summarizes it as follows:

[1012] "We had a math lesson today. The children came prepared and engaged in the lesson."

[1013] At the same time, the emotional data analyzed by the emotion engine indicates "joy" and "high motivation," which are incorporated into the report.

[1014] When parents access this report, they can see things like, "Today we had math class, and the children were actively engaged. They seemed to be particularly enjoying themselves." This will enable parents to get a detailed understanding of their children's daily learning and emotional changes.

[1015] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1016] Step 1:

[1017] Device:

[1018] Microphones installed in classrooms collect children's conversations and comments in real time. The microphones are placed in the center of the classroom or in key locations to capture all surrounding sounds, allowing the entire situation in the classroom to be understood.

[1019] Step 2:

[1020] Device:

[1021] The collected voice data is converted into text data using voice recognition software (e.g., Google Speech Recognition API) installed on the device. Voice recognition software has the ability to process natural language and can convert voice into text with high accuracy.

[1022] Step 3:

[1023] Device:

[1024] The converted text data is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS), which is important to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the data.

[1025] Step 4:

[1026] server:

[1027] The server receives text data sent from the terminal via the endpoint, and stores the received text data in a database for subsequent analysis and processing.

[1028] Step 5:

[1029] server:

[1030] The stored text data is analyzed using generative AI technology (e.g., Hugging Face's T5 model), which extracts important information and generates a summary. The generative AI combines multiple summarization techniques to provide a summary that contains the most useful information.

[1031] Step 6:

[1032] server:

[1033] At the same time, an emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and recognizes the children's emotional state. The emotion engine uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract emotional nuances from the text and identify emotions such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger."

[1034] Step 7:

[1035] server:

[1036] The summarized data and emotion recognition results are used to generate a detailed report for parents, including lesson highlights, children's engagement, and observed emotional states.

[1037] Step 8:

[1038] server:

[1039] The generated reports are uploaded to a web portal or mobile application for parental access, and an authentication system ensures that only parents can access and review the reports.

[1040] Step 9:

[1041] User (Parent):

[1042] Parents can log in to a dedicated web portal or mobile application and view the provided reports, which provide detailed insight into their child's academic progress, engagement and emotional state.

[1043] Step 10:

[1044] server:

[1045] The system detects specific keywords in real time from collected voice and text data, and uses an emotion engine to identify signs of negative emotions or bullying. If any are identified, the server automatically generates an alert and notifies teachers and administrators, enabling a rapid response.

[1046] Example 2

[1047] 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."

[1048] In conventional educational systems, teachers and parents spend a lot of time and effort trying to understand the situation of children in the classroom. Furthermore, there are insufficient means to effectively monitor children's emotional state and learning status, making it difficult for parents to understand their children's daily learning and emotional changes in detail. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can effectively and efficiently collect and analyze classroom voice data and provide information to parents.

[1089] Example 3: "Recognize the emotion in the following text. Input text: 'I had a lot of fun today.'"

[1090] In this way, the system of the present invention allows parents to easily and in detail understand their children's learning situation and emotional state through a series of processes: collecting voice data in the classroom, converting it into text data, summarizing it, recognizing emotions, and generating and providing reports.

[1091] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1092] Processing Steps

[1093] Step 1: Collecting audio data

[1094] The device collects audio from within the classroom

[1095] A microphone installed on each device collects speech in the classroom in real time. This microphone is positioned to effectively capture speech from the teacher and students. For example, the input collected is the voice of a teacher saying, "Today's math class. Are you all ready?" Real-time audio data is generated as the output.

[1096] Step 2: Speech to text

[1097] The device converts the voice data into text data.

[1098] Using speech recognition software installed on the device, the collected voice data is converted into text data in real time. For example, the input voice is "Today is math class. Are you all ready?", and this voice data is converted and output as text data saying "Today is math class. Are you all ready?"

[1099] Step 3: Sending data

[1100] Send text data from the device to the server

[1101] The generated text data is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS). For example, the text data converted on the terminal, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?", is sent to the server as input. The server receives the text data as output.

[1102] Step 4: Save your data

[1103] The server receives and stores the text data.

[1104] The server receives the text data sent from the terminal and stores it in a database. As input, it receives the text data "Today is math class. Are you all ready?" and stores it in the database as output. The data is stored in the database along with the collection time and sender information.

[1105] Step 5: Summarizing the text data

[1106] The server summarizes the text data

[1107] The server uses generative AI technology (e.g., a text summarization model) to concisely summarize the received text data. The input is the received text data, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?". The output is the summary data, "Today we had math class. The children participated enthusiastically."

[1108] Step 6: Emotion Recognition

[1109] The server analyzes the text data and recognizes the emotional state.

[1110] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data using natural language processing technology to identify the children's emotional state. The input is the text data to be analyzed: "I had a lot of fun today." The emotional state "joy" is recognized as the output.

[1111] Step 7: Generate reports

[1112] The server generates a report that integrates the summary data and the sentiment results.

[1113] The server generates a detailed report for parents based on the summary data and emotion recognition results. The input is the summary data "Today we had a math class. The children participated enthusiastically" and the emotion data "joy." The output is a report stating, "Today we had a math class. The children participated enthusiastically. They seemed to be having a particularly good time."

[1114] Step 8: Reporting

[1115] The server provides the generated report to the parent.

[1116] The generated report is provided to parents through a web portal or mobile application. The input is the generated report: "Today we had math class and the children participated actively. They seemed to enjoy it especially." As an output, the report is sent to the parents, who can access and view it.

[1117] Through these steps, this system can efficiently collect and analyze classroom voice data and provide useful information to parents.

[1118] (Application example 2)

[1119] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1120] Traditional customer feedback systems rely on collecting opinions directly from customers or answering surveys, making it difficult to provide real-time feedback or perform detailed sentiment analysis. As a result, restaurants and food delivery companies continue to struggle to obtain effective data for improving customer satisfaction and employee training. Furthermore, improving employee response and speedy service improvements are difficult challenges.

[1121] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting voice data in the classroom, means for converting the collected voice data into text data, means for summarizing the converted text data, means for analyzing the text data and recognizing the emotional state, and means for providing the summarized data and the recognition result of the emotional state to the guardian. This makes it possible to obtain customer feedback in real time, analyze the emotional state, and quickly improve responses and train employees.

[1122] "Audio data" refers to audio information collected within a restaurant or a specific space, including conversations between customers and employees and environmental sounds.

[1123] "Text data" is digital data that has been converted from collected voice data into text information using voice recognition technology.

[1124] A "summary" is digital information that extracts important parts from text data and summarizes them in a concise form.

[1125] "Emotional state" is information that identifies a person's emotions (for example, joy, anger, sadness, etc.) obtained by analyzing text data.

[1126] "Parent" refers to the guardian or guardian of the child of the system user in an educational setting, but in this application example, it refers to the manager or person in charge of the restaurant to which the report is provided.

[1127] "Analysis results" are the information obtained by analyzing the collected text data and emotional state.

[1128] "Report" means a detailed report generated based on the Analysis Results and Emotion Recognition Results.

[1129] "Employee training" means using the collected and analyzed information to provide training and guidance to restaurant staff to improve the quality of their service.

[1130] "Improving customer service" means optimizing service content and delivery methods to improve customer satisfaction based on analyzed data and reports.

[1131] An "alert" is a warning message that is used to quickly notify an administrator of a specific situation based on collected voice data and key information.

[1132] To implement this invention, the following system and processing steps are required: First, a microphone is installed in the restaurant to collect sound data. This microphone collects conversations and environmental sounds in the restaurant in real time.

[1133] The device processes the voice data received from the microphone and converts it into text data. This conversion is performed using voice recognition software. For example, the Google Speech Recognition API can be used. The device then transmits the converted text data to a server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS).

[1134] The server stores the received text data in a database and summarizes it using generative AI technology, such as the Hugging Face T5 model. At the same time, an emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and identifies the customer's emotional state. This emotion engine utilizes natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms.

[1135] Based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results, the server generates a detailed report, which includes information for employee training and customer service improvement, and is provided to managers via a web portal or mobile application.

[1136] Specific examples

[1137] For example, consider the following conversation taking place in a restaurant:

[1138] Customer: "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little slow."

[1139] This audio is collected and transcribed by speech recognition software as follows:

[1140] "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little late."

[1141] The server receives this text data and summarizes it as follows:

[1142] "A customer who had roast duck today was pleased with the taste of the food, but was unhappy with the slow delivery."

[1143] At the same time, the emotional data analyzed by the emotion engine indicates "satisfaction" and "dissatisfaction," which are incorporated into the report.

[1144] When parents access this report, they can see that "the customer was satisfied with the taste of the food, but was dissatisfied with the slow delivery time." Based on this information, the restaurant can review the way staff respond and the time it takes to provide service.

[1145] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1146] "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little late."

[1147] This system allows restaurants to understand customer satisfaction in real time and quickly improve their responses, making it easy to obtain data that can be used for employee training and service improvement.

[1148] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1149] Step 1:

[1150] The device collects audio data through a microphone installed in the restaurant. The input data includes conversations between customers and employees, as well as the surrounding environmental sounds. The collected audio data is temporarily stored in the device.

[1151] Step 2:

[1152] The device converts the collected voice data into text data using voice recognition software. Specifically, the voice recognition software (e.g., Google Speech Recognition API) analyzes the input voice data and converts it into corresponding text data. The text data is generated within the device.

[1153] Step 3:

[1154] The terminal transmits the converted text data to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS), where the input is the converted text data and the output is the data transmission to the server.

[1155] Step 4:

[1156] The server stores the received text data in a database. The stored text data is used in subsequent processing steps. The input here is the text data sent from the terminal, and the output is the data stored in the database.

[1157] Step 5:

[1158] The server uses generative AI technology to summarize the stored text data. For example, the Hugging Face T5 model is used in this summarization process. The input is the stored text data, and the output is the summarized text data. Specifically, the important parts of the text data are extracted and summarized in a concise form.

[1159] Step 6:

[1160] The emotion engine installed on the server analyzes the summarized text data and identifies the customer's emotional state. The emotion engine utilizes natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms. The input is the summarized text data, and the output is the identification result of the emotional state. Specifically, emotions such as joy, anger, and sadness are identified from the text content.

[1161] Step 7:

[1162] The server generates a detailed report based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results. The generated report contains information useful for employee training and improving customer service. The input is the summarized data and emotion recognition results, and the output is a report document.

[1163] Step 8:

[1164] The server provides the generated report to the administrator via a web portal or mobile application. The input here is the generated report, and the output is the report provided to the administrator. The administrator can access this report and check and implement improvements.

[1165] Through these processing steps, the system can collect and analyze customer feedback in real time, providing specific data that can be used to train employees and improve customer service.

[1166] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[1167] 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.

[1341] Summary: Worker A has started assembling part number 1234, and Worker B has finished preparing the tooling.

[1342] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1343] By prefaced the collected text data with the prompt "Summarize today's work:" as the input to the generative AI model, the data can be made suitable for the T5 model.

[1344] Prompt: Summary of today's tasks: Next we will assemble part number 1234. Got it. Tools are ready.

[1345] This approach makes it possible to visualize the work status within the factory and to make operational improvements quickly and effectively.

[1346] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1347] Step 1:

[1348] The terminal collects audio data using microphones installed in the factory. Specifically, it captures the conversations and work sounds of workers in real time. The input data is audio data, and the output is the collected raw audio data.

[1349] Step 2:

[1350] The device converts the collected voice data into text data using speech recognition software. Specifically, it uses the Google Speech Recognition API to convert the voice data into text with high accuracy. The input data is voice data, and the output is the corresponding text data.

[1351] Step 3:

[1352] The terminal transmits the converted text data to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS). Specifically, the text data is encoded using the HTTPS protocol and transmitted to the server. The input data is the text data, and the output is a transmission completion status to the server.

[1353] Step 4:

[1354] The server saves the received text data in a database and prepares it for subsequent processing. Specifically, it receives the text data and stores it in a database. The input data is the text data, and the output is a status indicating whether it has been saved to the database.

[1355] Step 5:

[1356] The server analyzes the stored text data using a generative AI model (e.g., Hugging Face's T5 model) to extract and summarize important information. Specifically, the text data is fed as input to the T5 model along with the prompt, and a summary is generated. The input data is the stored text data and the prompt, and the output is the summarized text data.

[1357] Step 6:

[1358] The server creates a report for the operator based on the summarized data. Specifically, it formats the summarized data and composes it into a report document. The input data is summarized text data, and the output is a document in report format.

[1359] Step 7:

[1360] The server provides the generated report to the user (operator, administrator) through a web portal or mobile app. Specifically, it uploads the report document to the database of the web portal or mobile app and makes it accessible to the user. The input data is a report-formatted document, and the output is the report provision status that can be accessed by the user.

[1361] 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.

[1362] This invention is a system that collects and analyzes voice data from children in educational settings and provides information to parents based on that data. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes and analyzes children's emotional states. This system consistently performs all processes, from collecting voice data to converting it to text, summarizing it, recognizing emotions, and generating and providing reports.

[1363] System Configuration

[1364] 1. Terminal (sound collection microphone and processing device installed in the classroom)

[1365] Microphones installed in classrooms collect children's conversations and comments in real time. The microphones are positioned to effectively capture the speech of teachers and students. This audio data is processed within the device.

[1366] 2. Voice recognition and data transmission

[1367] The audio data collected in the classroom is converted into text data using speech recognition software installed on the device, such as the Google Speech Recognition API, and then transmitted to a server via a secure communication protocol (such as HTTPS).

[1368] 3. Server (Centralized Processing System)

[1369] The server receives the text data sent from the device and stores it in a database. The stored text data is then summarized using generative AI technology (such as the T5 model of Hugging Face). At the same time, an emotion engine analyzes the text data and recognizes the child's emotions.

[1370] 4. Emotion Engine

[1371] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the converted text data and identifies the user's emotions, such as joy, sadness, anger, etc. This engine utilizes, for example, natural language processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning algorithms.

[1372] 5. Report Generation

[1373] Based on the summary data and emotion recognition results, the server generates a detailed report for parents, which includes highlights of their child's daily learning progress and emotional state, and is provided to parents via a web portal and mobile app.

[1374] Program Processing Details

[1375] Audio data collection and text conversion

[1376] The device collects voice data from within the classroom and converts it into text data using voice recognition software. For example, using voice recognition technology, a voice saying, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?" can be converted into text as, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?"

[1377] Sending data

[1378] Text data from the device is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol, which receives the data and stores it in a database.

[1379] Summarizing text data

[1380] The server uses generative AI technology to summarize the received text data, for example generating an overall summary of the day's lessons, such as "Today we had math class. The children asked questions enthusiastically and achieved many results."

[1381] emotion recognition

[1382] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and identifies the emotional state of the children. For example, it recognizes the emotion of "joy" from the text "I had a lot of fun today."

[1383] Report Generation

[1384] Based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results, a detailed report is generated for parents, such as, "Today we had math class and the children actively participated. They seemed to be having fun."

[1385] Providing reports

[1386] The generated reports are provided to parents via a web portal or mobile application, allowing them to understand their child's growth, learning progress, and emotional state.

[1387] Specific examples

[1388] For example, consider the following conversation taking place during a classroom lesson:

[1389] Teacher: "We're starting math today. Are you all ready?"

[1390] Child A: "Yes!"

[1391] Child B: "I'll do my best!"

[1392] This audio is collected and transcribed by speech recognition software as follows:

[1393] "Today we will begin our math lesson. Are you all ready? Yes! Let's do our best!"

[1394] The server receives this text data and summarizes it as follows:

[1395] "We had a math lesson today. The children came prepared and engaged in the lesson."

[1396] At the same time, the emotional data analyzed by the emotion engine indicates "joy" and "high motivation," which are incorporated into the report.

[1397] When parents access this report, they can see things like, "Today we had math class, and the children were actively engaged. They seemed to be particularly enjoying themselves." This will enable parents to get a detailed understanding of their children's daily learning and emotional changes.

[1398] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1399] Step 1:

[1400] Device:

[1401] Microphones installed in classrooms collect children's conversations and comments in real time. The microphones are placed in the center of the classroom or in key locations to capture all surrounding sounds, allowing the entire situation in the classroom to be understood.

[1402] Step 2:

[1403] Device:

[1404] The collected voice data is converted into text data using voice recognition software (e.g., Google Speech Recognition API) installed on the device. Voice recognition software has the ability to process natural language and can convert voice into text with high accuracy.

[1405] Step 3:

[1406] Device:

[1407] The converted text data is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS), which is important to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the data.

[1408] Step 4:

[1409] server:

[1410] The server receives text data sent from the terminal via the endpoint, and stores the received text data in a database for subsequent analysis and processing.

[1411] Step 5:

[1412] server:

[1413] The stored text data is analyzed using generative AI technology (e.g., Hugging Face's T5 model), which extracts important information and generates a summary. The generative AI combines multiple summarization techniques to provide a summary that contains the most useful information.

[1414] Step 6:

[1415] server:

[1416] At the same time, an emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and recognizes the children's emotional state. The emotion engine uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract emotional nuances from the text and identify emotions such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger."

[1417] Step 7:

[1418] server:

[1419] The summarized data and emotion recognition results are used to generate a detailed report for parents, including lesson highlights, children's engagement, and observed emotional states.

[1420] Step 8:

[1421] server:

[1422] The generated reports are uploaded to a web portal or mobile application for parental access, and an authentication system ensures that only parents can access and review the reports.

[1423] Step 9:

[1424] User (Parent):

[1425] Parents can log in to a dedicated web portal or mobile application and view the provided reports, which provide detailed insight into their child's academic progress, engagement and emotional state.

[1426] Step 10:

[1427] server:

[1428] The system detects specific keywords in real time from collected voice and text data, and uses an emotion engine to identify signs of negative emotions or bullying. If any are identified, the server automatically generates an alert and notifies teachers and administrators, enabling a rapid response.

[1429] Example 2

[1430] 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."

[1431] In conventional educational systems, teachers and parents spend a lot of time and effort trying to understand the situation of children in the classroom. Furthermore, there are insufficient means to effectively monitor children's emotional state and learning status, making it difficult for parents to understand their children's daily learning and emotional changes in detail. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can effectively and efficiently collect and analyze classroom voice data and provide information to parents.

[1465] The server generates a detailed report for parents based on the summary data and emotion recognition results, such as, "Today, we had math class, and the children actively participated. They seemed to be having fun."

[1466] 7. Report provision

[1467] The server provides the generated report to the parent.

[1468] The generated reports are provided to parents via a web portal or mobile application, allowing them to gain detailed insight into their child's academic progress and emotional state.

[1469] Examples of prompt statements

[1470] Example 1: "Please transcribe what is said in class. Input speech: 'Today is math class. Are you all ready?'"

[1471] Example 2: "Summarize the following text. Input text: 'Today is math class. Are you all ready? Yes! Let's do our best!'"

[1472] Example 3: "Recognize the emotion in the following text. Input text: 'I had a lot of fun today.'"

[1473] In this way, the system of the present invention allows parents to easily and in detail understand their children's learning situation and emotional state through a series of processes: collecting voice data in the classroom, converting it into text data, summarizing it, recognizing emotions, and generating and providing reports.

[1474] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1475] Processing Steps

[1476] Step 1: Collecting audio data

[1477] The device collects audio from within the classroom

[1478] A microphone installed on each device collects speech in the classroom in real time. This microphone is positioned to effectively capture speech from the teacher and students. For example, the input collected is the voice of a teacher saying, "Today's math class. Are you all ready?" Real-time audio data is generated as the output.

[1479] Step 2: Speech to text

[1480] The device converts the voice data into text data.

[1481] Using speech recognition software installed on the device, the collected voice data is converted into text data in real time. For example, the input voice is "Today is math class. Are you all ready?", and this voice data is converted and output as text data saying "Today is math class. Are you all ready?"

[1482] Step 3: Sending data

[1483] Send text data from the device to the server

[1484] The generated text data is sent to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS). For example, the text data converted on the terminal, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?", is sent to the server as input. The server receives the text data as output.

[1485] Step 4: Save your data

[1486] The server receives and stores the text data.

[1487] The server receives the text data sent from the terminal and stores it in a database. As input, it receives the text data "Today is math class. Are you all ready?" and stores it in the database as output. The data is stored in the database along with the collection time and sender information.

[1488] Step 5: Summarizing the text data

[1489] The server summarizes the text data

[1490] The server uses generative AI technology (e.g., a text summarization model) to concisely summarize the received text data. The input is the received text data, "Today is math class. Are you all ready?". The output is the summary data, "Today we had math class. The children participated enthusiastically."

[1491] Step 6: Emotion Recognition

[1492] The server analyzes the text data and recognizes the emotional state.

[1493] The emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data using natural language processing technology to identify the children's emotional state. The input is the text data to be analyzed: "I had a lot of fun today." The emotional state "joy" is recognized as the output.

[1494] Step 7: Generate reports

[1495] The server generates a report that integrates the summary data and the sentiment results.

[1496] The server generates a detailed report for parents based on the summary data and emotion recognition results. The input is the summary data "Today we had a math class. The children participated enthusiastically" and the emotion data "joy." The output is a report stating, "Today we had a math class. The children participated enthusiastically. They seemed to be having a particularly good time."

[1497] Step 8: Reporting

[1498] The server provides the generated report to the parent.

[1499] The generated report is provided to parents through a web portal or mobile application. The input is the generated report: "Today we had math class and the children participated actively. They seemed to enjoy it especially." As an output, the report is sent to the parents, who can access and view it.

[1500] Through these steps, this system can efficiently collect and analyze classroom voice data and provide useful information to parents.

[1501] (Application example 2)

[1502] 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."

[1503] Traditional customer feedback systems rely on collecting opinions directly from customers or answering surveys, making it difficult to provide real-time feedback or perform detailed sentiment analysis. As a result, restaurants and food delivery companies continue to struggle to obtain effective data for improving customer satisfaction and employee training. Furthermore, improving employee response and speedy service improvements are difficult challenges.

[1504] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting voice data in the classroom, means for converting the collected voice data into text data, means for summarizing the converted text data, means for analyzing the text data and recognizing the emotional state, and means for providing the summarized data and the recognition result of the emotional state to the guardian. This makes it possible to obtain customer feedback in real time, analyze the emotional state, and quickly improve responses and train employees.

[1505] "Audio data" refers to audio information collected within a restaurant or a specific space, including conversations between customers and employees and environmental sounds.

[1506] "Text data" is digital data that has been converted from collected voice data into text information using voice recognition technology.

[1507] A "summary" is digital information that extracts important parts from text data and summarizes them in a concise form.

[1508] "Emotional state" is information that identifies a person's emotions (for example, joy, anger, sadness, etc.) obtained by analyzing text data.

[1509] "Parent" refers to the guardian or guardian of the child of the system user in an educational setting, but in this application example, it refers to the manager or person in charge of the restaurant to which the report is provided.

[1510] "Analysis results" are the information obtained by analyzing the collected text data and emotional state.

[1511] "Report" means a detailed report generated based on the Analysis Results and Emotion Recognition Results.

[1512] "Employee training" means using the collected and analyzed information to provide training and guidance to restaurant staff to improve the quality of their service.

[1513] "Improving customer service" means optimizing service content and delivery methods to improve customer satisfaction based on analyzed data and reports.

[1514] An "alert" is a warning message that is used to quickly notify an administrator of a specific situation based on collected voice data and key information.

[1515] To implement this invention, the following system and processing steps are required: First, a microphone is installed in the restaurant to collect sound data. This microphone collects conversations and environmental sounds in the restaurant in real time.

[1516] The device processes the voice data received from the microphone and converts it into text data. This conversion is performed using voice recognition software. For example, the Google Speech Recognition API can be used. The device then transmits the converted text data to a server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS).

[1517] The server stores the received text data in a database and summarizes it using generative AI technology, such as the Hugging Face T5 model. At the same time, an emotion engine implemented on the server analyzes the text data and identifies the customer's emotional state. This emotion engine utilizes natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms.

[1518] Based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results, the server generates a detailed report, which includes information for employee training and customer service improvement, and is provided to managers via a web portal or mobile application.

[1519] Specific examples

[1520] For example, consider the following conversation taking place in a restaurant:

[1521] Customer: "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little slow."

[1522] This audio is collected and transcribed by speech recognition software as follows:

[1523] "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little late."

[1524] The server receives this text data and summarizes it as follows:

[1525] "A customer who had roast duck today was pleased with the taste of the food, but was unhappy with the slow delivery."

[1526] At the same time, the emotional data analyzed by the emotion engine indicates "satisfaction" and "dissatisfaction," which are incorporated into the report.

[1527] When parents access this report, they can see that "the customer was satisfied with the taste of the food, but was dissatisfied with the slow delivery time." Based on this information, the restaurant can review the way staff respond and the time it takes to provide service.

[1528] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1529] "The roast duck was delicious today. It's just a shame that the service was a little late."

[1530] This system allows restaurants to understand customer satisfaction in real time and quickly improve their responses, making it easy to obtain data that can be used for employee training and service improvement.

[1531] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1532] Step 1:

[1533] The device collects audio data through a microphone installed in the restaurant. The input data includes conversations between customers and employees, as well as the surrounding environmental sounds. The collected audio data is temporarily stored in the device.

[1534] Step 2:

[1535] The device converts the collected voice data into text data using voice recognition software. Specifically, the voice recognition software (e.g., Google Speech Recognition API) analyzes the input voice data and converts it into corresponding text data. The text data is generated within the device.

[1536] Step 3:

[1537] The terminal transmits the converted text data to the server using a secure communication protocol (e.g., HTTPS), where the input is the converted text data and the output is the data transmission to the server.

[1538] Step 4:

[1539] The server stores the received text data in a database. The stored text data is used in subsequent processing steps. The input here is the text data sent from the terminal, and the output is the data stored in the database.

[1540] Step 5:

[1541] The server uses generative AI technology to summarize the stored text data. For example, the Hugging Face T5 model is used in this summarization process. The input is the stored text data, and the output is the summarized text data. Specifically, the important parts of the text data are extracted and summarized in a concise form.

[1542] Step 6:

[1543] The emotion engine installed on the server analyzes the summarized text data and identifies the customer's emotional state. The emotion engine utilizes natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms. The input is the summarized text data, and the output is the identification result of the emotional state. Specifically, emotions such as joy, anger, and sadness are identified from the text content.

[1544] Step 7:

[1545] The server generates a detailed report based on the summarized data and emotion recognition results. The generated report contains information useful for employee training and improving customer service. The input is the summarized data and emotion recognition results, and the output is a report document.

[1546] Step 8:

[1547] The server provides the generated report to the administrator via a web portal or mobile application. The input here is the generated report, and the output is the report provided to the administrator. The administrator can access this report and check and implement improvements.

[1548] Through these processing steps, the system can collect and analyze customer feedback in real time, providing specific data that can be used to train employees and improve customer service.

[1549] 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.

[1550] 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.

[1551] 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.

[1552] 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.

[1553] 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.

[1554] 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.

[1555] 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).

[1556] 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.

[1557] 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."

[1558] 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.

[1559] 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).

[1560] 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.

[1561] 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.

[1562] 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.

[1563] 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.

[1564] 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.

[1565] 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.

[1566] 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.

[1567] 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.

[1568] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
