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."
[0039] The system of the present invention is designed to effectively utilize users' spare time and support efficient learning. This system acquires the user's calendar information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. The program and processing of this system are explained in natural language below.
[0040] Get a user's calendar information
[0041] The device periodically obtains the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google (registered trademark) Calendar, for example, the device obtains schedule information using the Google Calendar API and sends it to the server. The server then stores the received calendar information in a database.
[0042] Analysis of spare time
[0043] The server analyzes the received calendar information and finds available time slots. The server calculates the time difference between calendar events and identifies the most suitable available time slots. The analyzed available time slots are then listed.
[0044] Registering and managing study topics
[0045] Users register the topic they want to learn through the application. For example, they can enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science." The device sends this information to the server, which then stores the topic information in a database.
[0046] Generating learning content
[0047] The server uses generative AI to generate learning content based on the registered learning themes. For example, it uses the OpenAI (registered trademark) API to generate basic Python programming explanations and exercises. This allows for the creation of customized learning materials tailored to the user's learning level.
[0048] Learning content notifications
[0049] The server then sends the generated learning content to the device in the next available time slot. The device then notifies the user and encourages them to study. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[0050] Recording learning results
[0051] The user works through the provided learning content and inputs the results. For example, this could be quiz answers or study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which stores them in a database. This allows the user's learning history to be accumulated and progress to be checked.
[0052] Related book suggestions
[0053] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history. For example, it uses the Amazon API to obtain a list of books related to the user's study topic. The server sends this information to the device, and the device notifies the user.
[0054] Specific examples
[0055] Suppose User B has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User B and prompts him / her to access the learning content. When User B finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User B via the device.
[0056] In this way, the system of the present invention makes effective use of the user's spare time and improves learning efficiency, thereby enabling the user to actively engage in learning.
[0057] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0058] Step 1:
[0059] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device uses the Google Calendar API to retrieve the user's schedule information. This information is converted into JSON format and then sent to the server as a POST request.
[0060] Step 2:
[0061] The server receives the calendar information, parses it, and extracts the start and end times of each event. The extracted information is then stored in a database.
[0062] Step 3:
[0063] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time. Specifically, it calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event, and lists the gaps.
[0064] Step 4:
[0065] The server ranks the listed spare time slots by priority, based on the length of the spare time slots and the user's past learning history.
[0066] Step 5:
[0067] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. They enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science" into an input form on the application, and the device sends this information to the server.
[0068] Step 6:
[0069] The server uses generative AI to generate relevant learning content based on the learning topic information stored in the database. For example, it uses a specific API to generate textbooks and quizzes on basic concepts of Python programming.
[0070] Step 7:
[0071] The server transmits the generated study content to the device in time for the next free time. After the device receives the study content, it sends a notification to the user when the next free time approaches.
[0072] Step 8:
[0073] The device will send a notification to the user at the designated time slot and display a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application will display the learning content.
[0074] Step 9:
[0075] The user engages with the provided learning content, for example, by reading learning resources or answering quizzes. When the user has finished learning, they enter the results into the device.
[0076] Step 10:
[0077] The device sends the user's learning results (e.g., number of correct answers in quizzes, study time) to the server. The server receives this information and stores it in a database to update the user's learning history.
[0078] Step 11:
[0079] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and study history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device.
[0080] Step 12:
[0081] The device notifies the user of book suggestions, including a synopsis and a link to purchase, allowing the user to further their learning.
[0082] Through these steps, the system allows users to effectively utilize their spare time and automatically obtain the most suitable learning content for studying.
[0083] Example 1
[0084] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0085] In today's busy lifestyles, it is difficult for individuals to find time to study effectively. In particular, there is a lack of support for effectively utilizing spare time to advance their studies. Furthermore, existing learning support systems have difficulty responding flexibly to users' schedules and providing individually customized content. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can effectively utilize users' spare time and support their studies efficiently and effectively.
[0086] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0087] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring a user's schedule information, means for analyzing spare time from the schedule information, means for generating study content related to a set study topic based on the analyzed spare time, means for notifying the user of the generated study content, means for recording the user's study results, and means for using a generative AI model to generate the study content, thereby enabling analysis of the user's spare time and providing individually customized study content.
[0088] "User's schedule information" is data containing the user's schedule, obtained from a calendar application or schedule management system.
[0089] "Split time" refers to a short period of unused time between a user's scheduled appointments.
[0090] A "study topic" is a particular field or topic that a user wishes to study.
[0091] "Study content" refers to information such as teaching materials and exercises that are provided to users when they study.
[0092] A "generative AI model" is a program or system that uses artificial intelligence to generate learning content for users.
[0093] A "prompt" is a text instruction that instructs a generative AI model to generate specific learning content.
[0094] The "means for acquiring" refers to a function or device that performs the processing required to acquire the user's schedule information.
[0095] The "analyzing means" refers to a function or device for identifying and analyzing free time from the acquired schedule information.
[0096] The "means for generating" refers to a function or device that creates learning content based on the analyzed spare time.
[0097] The "notification means" refers to a function or device for notifying the user of the generated learning content.
[0098] "Recording means" refers to a function or device for saving and managing the user's learning results.
[0099] "Means for using a generative AI model" refers to a function or device for generating learning content using a generative AI model.
[0100] "Related materials" refers to information such as external books and literature that is necessary or useful for the user's study.
[0101] The present invention provides a system for effectively utilizing a user's spare time and supporting efficient learning. This system acquires the user's schedule information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. An embodiment of this system is described below in detail.
[0102] Get user calendar information
[0103] The device periodically retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses a schedule management system such as Google Calendar, the device uses the Google Calendar API to obtain the user's authentication information and retrieves the user's schedule information. This information includes the start time, end time, and event title of each event set by the user. The retrieved calendar information is sent to the server via a secure connection. The server stores the received calendar information in a database.
[0104] Analysis of spare time
[0105] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database. The server calculates the time difference between calendar events and identifies the user's free time. Free time is set based on certain criteria (e.g., 15 minutes or more of unused time). This analysis results in a list of the user's available study times during the day.
[0106] Registering and managing study topics
[0107] Users input the topic they want to learn through the application. For example, they can select "Python programming" or "data science." This input allows for customization according to the user's learning needs. Once the topic input is complete, the device sends this information to the server, which then stores the topic information in a database.
[0108] Generating learning content
[0109] The server generates learning content using a generative AI model based on the learning themes registered by the user. The generative AI uses, for example, the OpenAI API. By inputting appropriate prompts to the generative AI, learning materials appropriate for the user are generated.
[0110] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0111] The topic users want to learn is "Python Programming Basics." Please create simple learning materials for beginners. Please provide concise learning materials that include:
[0112] Python Basic Syntax
[0113] Simple code example
[0114] Exercises
[0115] Learning content notifications
[0116] The server sends the generated learning content to the device in time for the next available time slot. For example, the learning content is sent to the device in time for the available time slot between 9:00 and 9:30 the next day. The device receives this content and notifies the user. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[0117] Recording learning results
[0118] The user works through the provided learning content and enters the results into the application. This includes, for example, the results of quiz answers and the time spent studying. These results are sent to the server via the device. The server stores the received learning results in a database and manages them as the user's learning history.
[0119] Suggestions for related materials
[0120] The server suggests relevant materials based on the user's learning topic and learning history. For example, it uses the Amazon API to retrieve a list of books on "data science." Information about the suggested books is then sent to the user via their device.
[0121] Example operation
[0122] Let's say User B registers "Data Science" as a study topic in the application and wishes to study during their morning commute. First, the device sends the user's Google Calendar information to the server in the morning. The server finds a gap in time between 9:00 and 9:30. Next, the server sends a prompt to the generation AI to generate "Basic Data Science Teaching Materials," and the materials are generated. Then, as 9:00 approaches, the server sends the learning content to the device, and the device notifies User B. When User B finishes studying and enters the results, the device sends them to the server, which saves them. The server then retrieves a list of related books through the Amazon API and notifies User B.
[0123] In this way, the system of the present invention provides an efficient and customizable learning environment that allows users to make effective use of their spare time.
[0124] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0125] Step 1:
[0126] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. As input, the user's authentication information is required. If using the Google Calendar API, the device retrieves the calendar information using the user's authentication information. As output, the retrieved calendar information is returned. The calendar information includes the start time, end time, and title of the event. This information is then sent to the server over a secure connection.
[0127] Step 2:
[0128] The server receives the calendar information sent from the device and stores it in a database. As input, it takes the calendar information sent from the device. It analyzes the calendar information and identifies available time slots by calculating the time difference between events. As output, it obtains a list of available time slots stored in the database. This list contains the available time slots for the user throughout the day.
[0129] Step 3:
[0130] The user registers a learning topic using the application. As input, the user enters a learning topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." Once the topic has been entered, the device sends this information to the server. As output, the topic information is stored in a database on the server side.
[0131] Step 4:
[0132] The server uses a generative AI model to generate learning content based on the learning topic registered by the user. The learning topic and a prompt are used as input. For example, the prompt "The topic the user wants to learn is 'Python programming basics'. Please create simple learning materials for beginners." is input to the generative AI model. The generated learning content is obtained as output. This content includes learning materials and exercises.
[0133] Step 5:
[0134] The server sends the generated learning content to the device in time for the next available time. The generated learning content and the identified available time are used as input. The output is the learning content sent to the device. The device receives this content and notifies the user using push notifications or alarms.
[0135] Step 6:
[0136] The user works on the provided learning content. As input, access to the learning content is required. The user proceeds with the learning and enters the results into the application. As output, quiz answers, study time, etc. are obtained. The device sends these results to the server.
[0137] Step 7:
[0138] The server stores the received learning results in a database. The learning results sent by the user are used as input. The learning results are stored in a database as output and managed as the user's learning history.
[0139] Step 8:
[0140] The server suggests related materials based on the user's learning topic and history. The user's learning topic and history are used as input. The server obtains a list of related books, for example, using the Amazon API. The output is a list of suggested related materials. The device receives this information and notifies the user.
[0141] In this way, the system effectively utilizes users' spare time and supports efficient learning by providing individually customized learning content.
[0142] (Application example 1)
[0143] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0144] In modern society, there are many systems that allow users to effectively utilize their "spare time," but these systems have several problems. For example, if the spare time is too short, learning and information intake may not be effective, or the appropriate content may not be provided to the user. Furthermore, existing systems do not fully utilize generative AI models, making it difficult to provide customized learning materials suited to each user's individual learning topic and level. Therefore, a new system that effectively utilizes users' spare time and provides individually optimized learning content is needed.
[0145] 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.
[0146] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring the user's calendar information, a means for analyzing spare time from the calendar information, a means for providing study content only if the analyzed spare time is equal to or greater than a certain level, and a means for using a generative AI model to generate study content according to the study topic. This makes it possible to effectively utilize spare time and provide optimal study content according to the user's study topic.
[0147] "User calendar information" is data obtained from applications and systems that users use to record their daily schedules and appointments.
[0148] "Spare time" refers to free time between scheduled events in the user's calendar information.
[0149] A "study topic" is a particular subject or area that a user wishes to learn.
[0150] "Learning content" refers to information such as teaching materials, exercises, and explanatory texts that are provided based on a learning theme set by the user.
[0151] A "generative AI model" is an algorithm or system that uses artificial intelligence techniques to generate appropriate outputs for specific inputs.
[0152] The "scheduling means" is a means for periodically updating calendar information and carrying out planned processing for analyzing free time.
[0153] "Study history" refers to data that records what a user has learned and their progress to date.
[0154] "Related books" are books and reference materials related to the study theme set by the user.
[0155] This invention is a system that analyzes a user's calendar information and provides optimal learning content for spare time. Users can access this system using their smartphones to register and manage their calendar information.
[0156] First, the device (smartphone) periodically collects the user's calendar information using the Google Calendar API, etc. The collected calendar information is sent to a server, which then stores the information in a database.
[0157] Next, the server analyzes the calendar information and calculates the gap time between each event. This analysis involves first calculating the time difference between calendar events, and then listing gap times that are greater than a certain range (for example, 10 minutes or more).
[0158] Users register their study topics through a smartphone application. For example, they can set themes such as "Python programming" or "data science." The study topics registered by the user are sent to the server and stored in a database.
[0159] The server uses a generative AI model to generate learning content based on the learning themes registered by the user. For example, it uses the OpenAI API to generate basic explanations and exercises for "Python programming." The generated learning content is customized to the user's learning level.
[0160] The generated learning content is then sent to the device at the optimal time for the user to study. The device then notifies the user of the learning content and encourages them to study. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[0161] The user works on the learning content and inputs the results. For example, this includes quiz answers and study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which stores them in a database. This allows the user's learning history to be accumulated and progress to be checked.
[0162] Furthermore, the server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history, using the Amazon API or similar to obtain a list of books related to the study topic, and notifies the user via the device.
[0163] As a concrete example, suppose User B has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User B and prompts him / her to access the learning content. When User B finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User B via the device.
[0164] An example prompt is:
[0165] "Topic: Python Programming\nGenerate a textbook that provides basic explanations and exercises for Python."
[0166] By using the above means, the present invention can efficiently utilize the users' spare time and provide content that meets their individual learning needs.
[0167] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0168] Step 1:
[0169] The device periodically collects the user's calendar information using the Google Calendar API, etc. At this time, the device acquires the calendar information and sends it to the server. The input is the event data acquired from the Google Calendar API, and the output is the calendar information sent to the server.
[0170] Step 2:
[0171] The server saves the received calendar information in a database, which stores the user's schedule. The input is the calendar information sent from the terminal, and the output is the calendar information stored in the database.
[0172] Step 3:
[0173] The server analyzes the stored calendar information and calculates the gap time between each event. The analysis involves calculating the time difference between calendar events and listing gap times greater than a certain amount (for example, 10 minutes or more). The input is the calendar information obtained from the database, and the output is the listed gap time.
[0174] Step 4:
[0175] The user registers a learning topic using the terminal. For example, they set a topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." The input is the learning topic that the user enters into the terminal, and the output is the learning topic information sent to the server.
[0176] Step 5:
[0177] The server stores the learning topic information in a database and manages the user's learning topics. The input is the learning topic information sent from the terminal, and the output is the learning topic information stored in the database.
[0178] Step 6:
[0179] The server generates learning content using a generative AI model based on the learning topic registered by the user. At this time, a prompt is sent using the generative AI (e.g., OpenAI API) to obtain the generated content. The input is the learning topic and prompt registered by the user, and the output is the generated learning content. An example of a prompt is: "Topic: Python programming\nPlease generate a text that provides basic explanations and practice questions for Python."
[0180] Step 7:
[0181] The server sends the generated learning content to the device according to the listed spare time. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction. The input is the generated learning content and spare time information, and the output is the learning content notified to the device.
[0182] Step 8:
[0183] The user works on the learning content received from the device and inputs the results, such as quiz answer results and study time. The input is the learning results that the user enters into the device, and the output is the learning results sent to the server.
[0184] Step 9:
[0185] The server stores the user's learning results in a database and accumulates the user's learning history, allowing the user to check their progress. The input is the learning results sent from the device, and the output is the learning history stored in the database.
[0186] Step 10:
[0187] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history. It obtains a list of related books using the Amazon API or similar and notifies the device. The input is the user's study topic and history, and the output is the obtained list of related books.
[0188] 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.
[0189] The system of the present invention is designed to effectively utilize users' spare time and support efficient learning. The system acquires the user's calendar information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, the system recognizes the user's emotions and further improves the learning experience.
[0190] Get a user's calendar information
[0191] The device periodically retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device retrieves the user's schedule information using the Google Calendar API. This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server as a POST request. The server stores the received calendar information in a database.
[0192] Analysis of spare time
[0193] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time. It calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event to create a list of optimal gaps. From the list of gaps, it ranks the most appropriate times based on priority. This ranking is based on the length of the gaps and past learning history.
[0194] Registering and managing study topics
[0195] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. For example, they can input a topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." The device sends this information to the server, which then stores the topic information in a database.
[0196] Generating learning content
[0197] The server uses generative AI to generate learning content based on the registered learning topic. For example, it generates text and quizzes on basic concepts of Python programming. The generated learning content is then sent to the device in the next available time slot.
[0198] Introducing the Emotion Engine
[0199] The device is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to determine their current emotional state. The emotion engine's analysis results are sent from the device to the server.
[0200] Emotion-based learning content adjustment
[0201] The server dynamically adjusts learning content based on the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine. For example, if a user is nervous, it can provide relaxing content or encouraging messages.
[0202] Learning content notifications
[0203] The device will send a notification to the user at the designated time slot and display a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application will display the learning content.
[0204] Recording learning results
[0205] The user works through the provided learning content and inputs the results, such as quiz answers and study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which then stores them in a database and updates the user's learning history.
[0206] Related book suggestions
[0207] The server suggests related books based on the user's learning topic and history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device. The device then notifies the user of the book suggestions. The notification includes a summary of the book and a link to purchase it.
[0208] Specific examples
[0209] Consider the case where User A has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User A and encourages him / her to access the learning content. The device further analyzes the user's emotions using an emotion engine and provides appropriate relaxation techniques and encouraging messages. When User A finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User A via the device.
[0210] In this way, the system of the present invention is a system that effectively utilizes the user's spare time to efficiently advance learning, and further improves the user's learning experience by using an emotion engine.
[0211] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0212] Step 1:
[0213] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device retrieves schedule information using the Google Calendar API. This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[0214] Step 2:
[0215] The server receives the calendar information and stores it in a database. The start and end times of each event in the calendar are extracted and stored.
[0216] Step 3:
[0217] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time, calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event, and lists them.
[0218] Step 4:
[0219] The server ranks the listed spare time slots by priority, based on the length of the spare time slots and the user's past learning history.
[0220] Step 5:
[0221] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. They enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science" into the application's input form. After entering the information, the device sends the topic information to the server.
[0222] Step 6:
[0223] Based on the learning topics stored in the database, the server uses generative AI to generate relevant learning content, such as textbooks and quizzes on basic Python programming concepts.
[0224] Step 7:
[0225] The device uses an emotion engine to support user learning. When a user uses an application, the device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice tone, which are then analyzed by the emotion engine.
[0226] Step 8:
[0227] The server adjusts the learning content based on the generated learning content and the analysis results of the emotion engine. For example, if the user is nervous, it adds content to help them relax or an encouraging message.
[0228] Step 9:
[0229] The server transmits the adjusted learning content to the terminal in time for the next free time. The terminal receives the learning content and transmits a notification to the user when the next free time approaches.
[0230] Step 10:
[0231] The device notifies the user at the designated time and displays a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application displays the learning content.
[0232] Step 11:
[0233] The user engages with the provided learning content, for example, by reading learning resources or answering quizzes. When the user has finished learning, they enter the results into the device.
[0234] Step 12:
[0235] The device sends the user's learning results (e.g., number of correct answers in quizzes, study time) to the server. The server receives this information and stores it in a database to update the user's learning history.
[0236] Step 13:
[0237] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and study history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device.
[0238] Step 14:
[0239] The device notifies the user of book suggestions, which include a synopsis of the book and a link to purchase it for easy access by the user.
[0240] Through these steps, users can effectively utilize their free time and study. The introduction of the emotion engine provides appropriate learning support according to the user's psychological state, improving the learning experience.

[0365] (Application example 2)
[0366] 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."
[0367] Today's busy brick-and-mortar stores face challenges in effectively utilizing their free time and efficiently acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge. Furthermore, learning content is not tailored to individual emotions and situations, and uniform training can lower employee motivation. Furthermore, learning results are not properly recorded, and related books are scarce, limiting the ability to provide continuous learning support for employees.
[0368] The specific processing by the specific 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 acquiring the user's schedule information, means for analyzing spare time from the schedule information, means for generating study content related to a study topic set based on the analyzed spare time, means for analyzing the user's emotions and means for adjusting the study content based on the emotions, means for notifying the user of the generated study content, and means for recording the user's study results. This allows store employees to efficiently utilize their spare time to study, and in the process, content tailored to their individual emotional state is provided, thereby improving motivation and continuously improving their skills.
[0369] The "means for acquiring user's schedule information" is a function for periodically acquiring schedule information from the schedule system used by the user.
[0370] The "means for analyzing free time from schedule information" is a function for analyzing the acquired schedule information and identifying free time (free time) that exists between schedules.
[0371] The "means for generating learning content related to a learning topic" is a function for automatically creating content to be used in education or training based on a specific learning topic.
[0372] The "means for analyzing the user's emotions" is a function for analyzing the user's current emotional state using data such as the user's facial expressions, voice, and behavior.
[0373] The "means for adjusting learning content based on emotions" is a function that changes the difficulty level, content, etc. according to the analyzed user emotions, thereby optimizing the user's learning experience.
[0374] The "means for notifying the user of the generated study content" is a function for notifying the user of the generated study content as appropriate and encouraging them to start studying.
[0375] "Means for recording user learning results" refers to a function that allows users to record the results and progress of the learning content they have worked on, so that they can be referenced and evaluated later.
[0376] This invention provides a system that effectively utilizes a user's spare time and promotes efficient learning. This system acquires the user's schedule information, analyzes spare time, and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on that spare time.

[0396] The device is equipped with an emotion engine for analyzing the user's emotions. This emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice using the camera and microphone installed in the smartphone or tablet. The emotion engine's analysis results are sent from the device to a server.
[0397] 6. Emotion-based learning content adjustment:
[0398] The server dynamically adjusts learning content based on emotional data obtained from the emotion engine. For example, if the user is tired, it can provide relaxing content or encouraging messages.
[0399] 7. Learning Content Notification:
[0400] The device will send a notification to the user at the designated time slot and display a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application will display the learning content.
[0401] 8. Recording learning results:
[0402] The user works through the provided learning content and inputs the results, such as quiz answers and study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which then stores them in a database and updates the user's learning history.
[0403] This system allows store employees to effectively utilize their free time to study efficiently, and by optimizing the learning experience based on emotional data, it is possible to increase motivation and continuously improve skills.
[0404] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0405] Step 1:
[0406] Get calendar information
[0407] The device periodically retrieves the user's calendar information using the Google Calendar API. This information is converted to JSON format and sent to the server as a POST request. The input is the user's schedule retrieved from the Google Calendar API, and the output is the calendar information in JSON format. The server stores this information in a database.
[0408] Step 2:
[0409] Analysis of spare time
[0410] The server analyzes the schedule information stored in the database and identifies gap times by calculating the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event. The input is the schedule information stored in the database, and the output is a list of gap times. The server ranks the optimal gap times based on priority.
[0411] Step 3:
[0412] Registering study themes
[0413] The user inputs a learning topic using a smartphone or tablet. For example, a topic such as "improving customer service skills" or "product knowledge" is registered in the application. The input is the learning topic entered by the user, and the output is the topic information sent to the server. The server stores this information in a database.
[0414] Step 4:
[0415] Generating learning content
[0416] The server uses a generative AI model based on the registered learning theme to generate learning content. The prompt statement is, "Please generate learning content related to improving customer service skills. The content should include basic customer service etiquette, communication techniques with customers, and ways to increase customer satisfaction." The input is the specified learning theme and prompt statement, and the output is the generated learning content.
[0417] Step 5:
[0418] Emotion analysis using an emotion engine
[0419] The device uses an emotion engine that analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice via a camera and microphone to determine their emotional state. The input is facial expression data and voice data obtained from the device, and the output is analyzed emotional state data. The device then sends this data to a server.
[0420] Step 6:
[0421] Emotion-based content adjustment
[0422] The server adjusts the learning content appropriately based on the data obtained from the emotion engine. For example, if the user is tired, it provides content to help them relax. The input is the analyzed emotion data and the generated learning content, and the output is the adjusted learning content.
[0423] Step 7:
[0424] Learning content notifications
[0425] The device notifies the user at the specified spare time and provides a link to the learning content. The input is the learning content adjusted for the spare time, and the output is the notification to the user. When the user clicks the link, the learning content is displayed.
[0426] Step 8:
[0427] Recording learning results
[0428] The user performs the learning content and inputs the results. For example, they record the results of quizzes and the time spent studying. The input is the learning results entered by the user, and the output is the learning result data sent to the server. The server stores this in a database and updates the user's learning history.
[0429] This allows the system to enable store employees to efficiently utilize their spare time and provide learning content tailored to their individual emotional state, thereby improving motivation and enabling continuous skill development.

In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as the "terminal."
[0446] The system of the present invention is designed to effectively utilize users' spare time and support efficient learning. This system acquires the user's calendar information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. The program and processing of this system are explained in natural language below.
[0447] Get a user's calendar information
[0448] The device periodically obtains the user's calendar information. For example, if the user uses Google Calendar, the device obtains schedule information using the Google Calendar API and sends it to the server. The server then stores the received calendar information in a database.
[0449] Analysis of spare time
[0450] The server analyzes the received calendar information and finds available time slots. The server calculates the time difference between calendar events and identifies the most suitable available time slots. The analyzed available time slots are then listed.
[0451] Registering and managing study topics
[0452] Users register the topic they want to learn through the application. For example, they can enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science." The device sends this information to the server, which then stores the topic information in a database.
[0453] Generating learning content
[0454] The server uses generative AI to generate learning content based on registered learning themes. For example, it uses the OpenAI API to generate basic Python programming explanations and exercises. This allows for the creation of customized learning materials tailored to the user's learning level.
[0455] Learning content notifications
[0456] The server then sends the generated learning content to the device in the next available time slot. The device then notifies the user and encourages them to study. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[0457] Recording learning results
[0458] The user works through the provided learning content and inputs the results. For example, this could be quiz answers or study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which stores them in a database. This allows the user's learning history to be accumulated and progress to be checked.
[0459] Related book suggestions
[0460] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history. For example, it uses the Amazon API to obtain a list of books related to the user's study topic. The server sends this information to the device, and the device notifies the user.
[0461] Specific examples
[0462] Suppose User B has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User B and prompts him / her to access the learning content. When User B finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User B via the device.
[0463] In this way, the system of the present invention makes effective use of the user's spare time and improves learning efficiency, thereby enabling the user to actively engage in learning.
[0464] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0465] Step 1:
[0466] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device uses the Google Calendar API to retrieve the user's schedule information. This information is converted into JSON format and then sent to the server as a POST request.
[0467] Step 2:
[0468] The server receives the calendar information, parses it, and extracts the start and end times of each event. The extracted information is then stored in a database.
[0469] Step 3:
[0470] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time. Specifically, it calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event, and lists the gaps.
[0471] Step 4:
[0472] The server ranks the listed spare time slots by priority, based on the length of the spare time slots and the user's past learning history.
[0473] Step 5:
[0474] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. They enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science" into an input form on the application, and the device sends this information to the server.
[0475] Step 6:
[0476] The server uses generative AI to generate relevant learning content based on the learning topic information stored in the database. For example, it uses a specific API to generate textbooks and quizzes on basic concepts of Python programming.
[0477] Step 7:
[0478] The server transmits the generated study content to the device in time for the next free time. After the device receives the study content, it sends a notification to the user when the next free time approaches.
[0479] Step 8:
[0480] The device will send a notification to the user at the designated time slot and display a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application will display the learning content.
[0481] Step 9:
[0482] The user engages with the provided learning content, for example, by reading learning resources or answering quizzes. When the user has finished learning, they enter the results into the device.
[0483] Step 10:
[0484] The device sends the user's learning results (e.g., number of correct answers in quizzes, study time) to the server. The server receives this information and stores it in a database to update the user's learning history.
[0485] Step 11:
[0486] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and study history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device.
[0487] Step 12:
[0488] The device notifies the user of book suggestions, including a synopsis and a link to purchase, allowing the user to further their learning.
[0489] Through these steps, the system allows users to effectively utilize their spare time and automatically obtain the most suitable learning content for studying.
[0490] Example 1
[0491] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0492] In today's busy lifestyles, it is difficult for individuals to find time to study effectively. In particular, there is a lack of support for effectively utilizing spare time to advance their studies. Furthermore, existing learning support systems have difficulty responding flexibly to users' schedules and providing individually customized content. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can effectively utilize users' spare time and support their studies efficiently and effectively.
[0493] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0494] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring a user's schedule information, means for analyzing spare time from the schedule information, means for generating study content related to a set study topic based on the analyzed spare time, means for notifying the user of the generated study content, means for recording the user's study results, and means for using a generative AI model to generate the study content, thereby enabling analysis of the user's spare time and providing individually customized study content.
[0495] "User's schedule information" is data containing the user's schedule, obtained from a calendar application or schedule management system.
[0496] "Split time" refers to a short period of unused time between a user's scheduled appointments.
[0497] A "study topic" is a particular field or topic that a user wishes to study.
[0498] "Study content" refers to information such as teaching materials and exercises that are provided to users when they study.
[0499] A "generative AI model" is a program or system that uses artificial intelligence to generate learning content for users.
[0500] A "prompt" is a text instruction that instructs a generative AI model to generate specific learning content.
[0501] The "means for acquiring" refers to a function or device that performs the processing required to acquire the user's schedule information.
[0502] The "analyzing means" refers to a function or device for identifying and analyzing free time from the acquired schedule information.
[0503] The "means for generating" refers to a function or device that creates learning content based on the analyzed spare time.
[0504] The "notification means" refers to a function or device for notifying the user of the generated learning content.
[0505] "Recording means" refers to a function or device for saving and managing the user's learning results.
[0506] "Means for using a generative AI model" refers to a function or device for generating learning content using a generative AI model.
[0507] "Related materials" refers to information such as external books and literature that is necessary or useful for the user's study.
[0508] The present invention provides a system for effectively utilizing a user's spare time and supporting efficient learning. This system acquires the user's schedule information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. An embodiment of this system is described below in detail.
[0509] Get user calendar information
[0510] The device periodically retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses a schedule management system such as Google Calendar, the device uses the Google Calendar API to obtain the user's authentication information and retrieves the user's schedule information. This information includes the start time, end time, and event title of each event set by the user. The retrieved calendar information is sent to the server via a secure connection. The server stores the received calendar information in a database.
[0511] Analysis of spare time
[0512] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database. The server calculates the time difference between calendar events and identifies the user's free time. Free time is set based on certain criteria (e.g., 15 minutes or more of unused time). This analysis results in a list of the user's available study times during the day.
[0513] Registering and managing study topics
[0514] Users input the topic they want to learn through the application. For example, they can select "Python programming" or "data science." This input allows for customization according to the user's learning needs. Once the topic input is complete, the device sends this information to the server, which then stores the topic information in a database.
[0515] Generating learning content
[0516] The server generates learning content using a generative AI model based on the learning themes registered by the user. The generative AI uses, for example, the OpenAI API. By inputting appropriate prompts to the generative AI, learning materials appropriate for the user are generated.
[0517] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0518] The topic users want to learn is "Python Programming Basics." Please create simple learning materials for beginners. Please provide concise learning materials that include:
[0519] Python Basic Syntax
[0520] Simple code example
[0521] Exercises
[0522] Learning content notifications
[0523] The server sends the generated learning content to the device in time for the next available time slot. For example, the learning content is sent to the device in time for the available time slot between 9:00 and 9:30 the next day. The device receives this content and notifies the user. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[0524] Recording learning results
[0525] The user works through the provided learning content and enters the results into the application. This includes, for example, the results of quiz answers and the time spent studying. These results are sent to the server via the device. The server stores the received learning results in a database and manages them as the user's learning history.
[0526] Suggestions for related materials
[0527] The server suggests relevant materials based on the user's learning topic and learning history. For example, it uses the Amazon API to retrieve a list of books on "data science." Information about the suggested books is then sent to the user via their device.
[0528] Example operation
[0529] Let's say User B registers "Data Science" as a study topic in the application and wishes to study during their morning commute. First, the device sends the user's Google Calendar information to the server in the morning. The server finds a gap in time between 9:00 and 9:30. Next, the server sends a prompt to the generation AI to generate "Basic Data Science Teaching Materials," and the materials are generated. Then, as 9:00 approaches, the server sends the learning content to the device, and the device notifies User B. When User B finishes studying and enters the results, the device sends them to the server, which saves them. The server then retrieves a list of related books through the Amazon API and notifies User B.
[0530] In this way, the system of the present invention provides an efficient and customizable learning environment that allows users to make effective use of their spare time.
[0531] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0532] Step 1:
[0533] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. As input, the user's authentication information is required. If using the Google Calendar API, the device retrieves the calendar information using the user's authentication information. As output, the retrieved calendar information is returned. The calendar information includes the start time, end time, and title of the event. This information is then sent to the server over a secure connection.
[0534] Step 2:
[0535] The server receives the calendar information sent from the device and stores it in a database. As input, it takes the calendar information sent from the device. It analyzes the calendar information and identifies available time slots by calculating the time difference between events. As output, it obtains a list of available time slots stored in the database. This list contains the available time slots for the user throughout the day.
[0536] Step 3:
[0537] The user registers a learning topic using the application. As input, the user enters a learning topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." Once the topic has been entered, the device sends this information to the server. As output, the topic information is stored in a database on the server side.
[0538] Step 4:
[0539] The server uses a generative AI model to generate learning content based on the learning topic registered by the user. The learning topic and a prompt are used as input. For example, the prompt "The topic the user wants to learn is 'Python programming basics'. Please create simple learning materials for beginners." is input to the generative AI model. The generated learning content is obtained as output. This content includes learning materials and exercises.
[0540] Step 5:
[0541] The server sends the generated learning content to the device in time for the next available time. The generated learning content and the identified available time are used as input. The output is the learning content sent to the device. The device receives this content and notifies the user using push notifications or alarms.
[0542] Step 6:
[0543] The user works on the provided learning content. As input, access to the learning content is required. The user proceeds with the learning and enters the results into the application. As output, quiz answers, study time, etc. are obtained. The device sends these results to the server.
[0544] Step 7:
[0545] The server stores the received learning results in a database. The learning results sent by the user are used as input. The learning results are stored in a database as output and managed as the user's learning history.
[0546] Step 8:
[0547] The server suggests related materials based on the user's learning topic and history. The user's learning topic and history are used as input. The server obtains a list of related books, for example, using the Amazon API. The output is a list of suggested related materials. The device receives this information and notifies the user.
[0548] In this way, the system effectively utilizes users' spare time and supports efficient learning by providing individually customized learning content.
[0549] (Application example 1)
[0550] 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."
[0551] In modern society, there are many systems that allow users to effectively utilize their "spare time," but these systems have several problems. For example, if the spare time is too short, learning and information intake may not be effective, or the appropriate content may not be provided to the user. Furthermore, existing systems do not fully utilize generative AI models, making it difficult to provide customized learning materials suited to each user's individual learning topic and level. Therefore, a new system that effectively utilizes users' spare time and provides individually optimized learning content is needed.
[0552] 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.
[0553] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring the user's calendar information, a means for analyzing spare time from the calendar information, a means for providing study content only if the analyzed spare time is equal to or greater than a certain level, and a means for using a generative AI model to generate study content according to the study topic. This makes it possible to effectively utilize spare time and provide optimal study content according to the user's study topic.
[0554] "User calendar information" is data obtained from applications and systems that users use to record their daily schedules and appointments.
[0555] "Spare time" refers to free time between scheduled events in the user's calendar information.
[0556] A "study topic" is a particular subject or area that a user wishes to learn.
[0557] "Learning content" refers to information such as teaching materials, exercises, and explanatory texts that are provided based on a learning theme set by the user.
[0558] A "generative AI model" is an algorithm or system that uses artificial intelligence techniques to generate appropriate outputs for specific inputs.
[0559] The "scheduling means" is a means for periodically updating calendar information and carrying out planned processing for analyzing free time.
[0560] "Study history" refers to data that records what a user has learned and their progress to date.
[0561] "Related books" are books and reference materials related to the study theme set by the user.
[0562] This invention is a system that analyzes a user's calendar information and provides optimal learning content for spare time. Users can access this system using their smartphones to register and manage their calendar information.
[0563] First, the device (smartphone) periodically collects the user's calendar information using the Google Calendar API, etc. The collected calendar information is sent to a server, which then stores the information in a database.
[0564] Next, the server analyzes the calendar information and calculates the gap time between each event. This analysis involves first calculating the time difference between calendar events, and then listing gap times that are greater than a certain range (for example, 10 minutes or more).
[0565] Users register their study topics through a smartphone application. For example, they can set themes such as "Python programming" or "data science." The study topics registered by the user are sent to the server and stored in a database.
[0566] The server uses a generative AI model to generate learning content based on the learning themes registered by the user. For example, it uses the OpenAI API to generate basic explanations and exercises for "Python programming." The generated learning content is customized to the user's learning level.
[0567] The generated learning content is then sent to the device at the optimal time for the user to study. The device then notifies the user of the learning content and encourages them to study. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[0568] The user works on the learning content and inputs the results. For example, this includes quiz answers and study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which stores them in a database. This allows the user's learning history to be accumulated and progress to be checked.
[0569] Furthermore, the server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history, using the Amazon API or similar to obtain a list of books related to the study topic, and notifies the user via the device.
[0570] As a concrete example, suppose User B has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User B and prompts him / her to access the learning content. When User B finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User B via the device.
[0571] An example prompt is:
[0572] "Topic: Python Programming\nGenerate a textbook that provides basic explanations and exercises for Python."
[0573] By using the above means, the present invention can efficiently utilize the users' spare time and provide content that meets their individual learning needs.
[0574] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0575] Step 1:
[0576] The device periodically collects the user's calendar information using the Google Calendar API, etc. At this time, the device acquires the calendar information and sends it to the server. The input is the event data acquired from the Google Calendar API, and the output is the calendar information sent to the server.
[0577] Step 2:
[0578] The server saves the received calendar information in a database, which stores the user's schedule. The input is the calendar information sent from the terminal, and the output is the calendar information stored in the database.
[0579] Step 3:
[0580] The server analyzes the stored calendar information and calculates the gap time between each event. The analysis involves calculating the time difference between calendar events and listing gap times greater than a certain amount (for example, 10 minutes or more). The input is the calendar information obtained from the database, and the output is the listed gap time.
[0581] Step 4:
[0582] The user registers a learning topic using the terminal. For example, they set a topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." The input is the learning topic that the user enters into the terminal, and the output is the learning topic information sent to the server.
[0583] Step 5:
[0584] The server stores the learning topic information in a database and manages the user's learning topics. The input is the learning topic information sent from the terminal, and the output is the learning topic information stored in the database.
[0585] Step 6:
[0586] The server generates learning content using a generative AI model based on the learning topic registered by the user. At this time, a prompt is sent using the generative AI (e.g., OpenAI API) to obtain the generated content. The input is the learning topic and prompt registered by the user, and the output is the generated learning content. An example of a prompt is: "Topic: Python programming\nPlease generate a text that provides basic explanations and practice questions for Python."
[0587] Step 7:
[0588] The server sends the generated learning content to the device according to the listed spare time. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction. The input is the generated learning content and spare time information, and the output is the learning content notified to the device.
[0589] Step 8:
[0590] The user works on the learning content received from the device and inputs the results, such as quiz answer results and study time. The input is the learning results that the user enters into the device, and the output is the learning results sent to the server.
[0591] Step 9:
[0592] The server stores the user's learning results in a database and accumulates the user's learning history, allowing the user to check their progress. The input is the learning results sent from the device, and the output is the learning history stored in the database.
[0593] Step 10:
[0594] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history. It obtains a list of related books using the Amazon API or similar and notifies the device. The input is the user's study topic and history, and the output is the obtained list of related books.
[0595] 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.
[0596] The system of the present invention is designed to effectively utilize users' spare time and support efficient learning. The system acquires the user's calendar information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, the system recognizes the user's emotions and further improves the learning experience.
[0597] Get a user's calendar information
[0598] The device periodically retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device retrieves the user's schedule information using the Google Calendar API. This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server as a POST request. The server stores the received calendar information in a database.
[0599] Analysis of spare time
[0600] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time. It calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event to create a list of optimal gaps. From the list of gaps, it ranks the most appropriate times based on priority. This ranking is based on the length of the gaps and past learning history.
[0601] Registering and managing study topics
[0602] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. For example, they can input a topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." The device sends this information to the server, which then stores the topic information in a database.
[0603] Generating learning content
[0604] The server uses generative AI to generate learning content based on the registered learning topic. For example, it generates text and quizzes on basic concepts of Python programming. The generated learning content is then sent to the device in the next available time slot.
[0605] Introducing the Emotion Engine
[0606] The device is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to determine their current emotional state. The emotion engine's analysis results are sent from the device to the server.
[0607] Emotion-based learning content adjustment
[0608] The server dynamically adjusts learning content based on the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine. For example, if a user is nervous, it can provide relaxing content or encouraging messages.
[0609] Learning content notifications
[0610] The device will send a notification to the user at the designated time slot and display a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application will display the learning content.
[0611] Recording learning results
[0612] The user works through the provided learning content and inputs the results, such as quiz answers and study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which then stores them in a database and updates the user's learning history.
[0613] Related book suggestions
[0614] The server suggests related books based on the user's learning topic and history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device. The device then notifies the user of the book suggestions. The notification includes a summary of the book and a link to purchase it.
[0615] Specific examples
[0616] Consider the case where User A has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User A and encourages him / her to access the learning content. The device further analyzes the user's emotions using an emotion engine and provides appropriate relaxation techniques and encouraging messages. When User A finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User A via the device.
[0617] In this way, the system of the present invention is a system that effectively utilizes the user's spare time to efficiently advance learning, and further improves the user's learning experience by using an emotion engine.
[0618] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0619] Step 1:
[0620] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device retrieves schedule information using the Google Calendar API. This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[0621] Step 2:
[0622] The server receives the calendar information and stores it in a database. The start and end times of each event in the calendar are extracted and stored.
[0623] Step 3:
[0624] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time, calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event, and lists them.
[0625] Step 4:
[0626] The server ranks the listed spare time slots by priority, based on the length of the spare time slots and the user's past learning history.
[0627] Step 5:
[0628] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. They enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science" into the application's input form. After entering the information, the device sends the topic information to the server.
[0629] Step 6:
[0630] Based on the learning topics stored in the database, the server uses generative AI to generate relevant learning content, such as textbooks and quizzes on basic Python programming concepts.
[0631] Step 7:
[0632] The device uses an emotion engine to support user learning. When a user uses an application, the device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice tone, which are then analyzed by the emotion engine.
[0633] Step 8:
[0634] The server adjusts the learning content based on the generated learning content and the analysis results of the emotion engine. For example, if the user is nervous, it adds content to help them relax or an encouraging message.
[0635] Step 9:
[0636] The server transmits the adjusted learning content to the terminal in time for the next free time. The terminal receives the learning content and transmits a notification to the user when the next free time approaches.
[0637] Step 10:
[0638] The device notifies the user at the designated time and displays a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application displays the learning content.
[0639] Step 11:
[0640] The user engages with the provided learning content, for example, by reading learning resources or answering quizzes. When the user has finished learning, they enter the results into the device.
[0641] Step 12:
[0642] The device sends the user's learning results (e.g., number of correct answers in quizzes, study time) to the server. The server receives this information and stores it in a database to update the user's learning history.
[0643] Step 13:
[0644] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and study history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device.
[0645] Step 14:
[0646] The device notifies the user of book suggestions, which include a synopsis of the book and a link to purchase it for easy access by the user.
[0647] Through these steps, users can effectively utilize their free time and study. The introduction of the emotion engine provides appropriate learning support according to the user's psychological state, improving the learning experience.

[0817] The server analyzes the schedule information stored in the database and identifies gap times by calculating the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event. The input is the schedule information stored in the database, and the output is a list of gap times. The server ranks the optimal gap times based on priority.
[0818] Step 3:
[0819] Registering study themes
[0820] The user inputs a learning topic using a smartphone or tablet. For example, a topic such as "improving customer service skills" or "product knowledge" is registered in the application. The input is the learning topic entered by the user, and the output is the topic information sent to the server. The server stores this information in a database.
[0821] Step 4:
[0822] Generating learning content
[0823] The server uses a generative AI model based on the registered learning theme to generate learning content. The prompt statement is, "Please generate learning content related to improving customer service skills. The content should include basic customer service etiquette, communication techniques with customers, and ways to increase customer satisfaction." The input is the specified learning theme and prompt statement, and the output is the generated learning content.
[0824] Step 5:
[0825] Emotion analysis using an emotion engine
[0826] The device uses an emotion engine that analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice via a camera and microphone to determine their emotional state. The input is facial expression data and voice data obtained from the device, and the output is analyzed emotional state data. The device then sends this data to a server.
[0827] Step 6:
[0828] Emotion-based content adjustment
[0829] The server adjusts the learning content appropriately based on the data obtained from the emotion engine. For example, if the user is tired, it provides content to help them relax. The input is the analyzed emotion data and the generated learning content, and the output is the adjusted learning content.
[0830] Step 7:
[0831] Learning content notifications
[0832] The device notifies the user at the specified spare time and provides a link to the learning content. The input is the learning content adjusted for the spare time, and the output is the notification to the user. When the user clicks the link, the learning content is displayed.
[0833] Step 8:
[0834] Recording learning results
[0835] The user performs the learning content and inputs the results. For example, they record the results of quizzes and the time spent studying. The input is the learning results entered by the user, and the output is the learning result data sent to the server. The server stores this in a database and updates the user's learning history.
[0836] This allows the system to enable store employees to efficiently utilize their spare time and provide learning content tailored to their individual emotional state, thereby improving motivation and enabling continuous skill development.
[0837] 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.
[0838] 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.

In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."
[0853] The system of the present invention is designed to effectively utilize users' spare time and support efficient learning. This system acquires the user's calendar information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. The program and processing of this system are explained in natural language below.
[0854] Get a user's calendar information
[0855] The device periodically obtains the user's calendar information. For example, if the user uses Google Calendar, the device obtains schedule information using the Google Calendar API and sends it to the server. The server then stores the received calendar information in a database.
[0856] Analysis of spare time
[0857] The server analyzes the received calendar information and finds available time slots. The server calculates the time difference between calendar events and identifies the most suitable available time slots. The analyzed available time slots are then listed.
[0858] Registering and managing study topics
[0859] Users register the topic they want to learn through the application. For example, they can enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science." The device sends this information to the server, which then stores the topic information in a database.
[0860] Generating learning content
[0861] The server uses generative AI to generate learning content based on registered learning themes. For example, it uses the OpenAI API to generate basic Python programming explanations and exercises. This allows for the creation of customized learning materials tailored to the user's learning level.
[0862] Learning content notifications
[0863] The server then sends the generated learning content to the device in the next available time slot. The device then notifies the user and encourages them to study. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[0864] Recording learning results
[0865] The user works through the provided learning content and inputs the results. For example, this could be quiz answers or study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which stores them in a database. This allows the user's learning history to be accumulated and progress to be checked.
[0866] Related book suggestions
[0867] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history. For example, it uses the Amazon API to obtain a list of books related to the user's study topic. The server sends this information to the device, and the device notifies the user.
[0868] Specific examples
[0869] Suppose User B has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User B and prompts him / her to access the learning content. When User B finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User B via the device.
[0870] In this way, the system of the present invention makes effective use of the user's spare time and improves learning efficiency, thereby enabling the user to actively engage in learning.
[0871] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0872] Step 1:
[0873] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device uses the Google Calendar API to retrieve the user's schedule information. This information is converted into JSON format and then sent to the server as a POST request.
[0874] Step 2:
[0875] The server receives the calendar information, parses it, and extracts the start and end times of each event. The extracted information is then stored in a database.
[0876] Step 3:
[0877] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time. Specifically, it calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event, and lists the gaps.
[0878] Step 4:
[0879] The server ranks the listed spare time slots by priority, based on the length of the spare time slots and the user's past learning history.
[0880] Step 5:
[0881] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. They enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science" into an input form on the application, and the device sends this information to the server.
[0882] Step 6:
[0883] The server uses generative AI to generate relevant learning content based on the learning topic information stored in the database. For example, it uses a specific API to generate textbooks and quizzes on basic concepts of Python programming.
[0884] Step 7:
[0885] The server transmits the generated study content to the device in time for the next free time. After the device receives the study content, it sends a notification to the user when the next free time approaches.
[0886] Step 8:
[0887] The device will send a notification to the user at the designated time slot and display a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application will display the learning content.
[0888] Step 9:
[0889] The user engages with the provided learning content, for example, by reading learning resources or answering quizzes. When the user has finished learning, they enter the results into the device.
[0890] Step 10:
[0891] The device sends the user's learning results (e.g., number of correct answers in quizzes, study time) to the server. The server receives this information and stores it in a database to update the user's learning history.
[0892] Step 11:
[0893] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and study history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device.
[0894] Step 12:
[0895] The device notifies the user of book suggestions, including a synopsis and a link to purchase, allowing the user to further their learning.
[0896] Through these steps, the system allows users to effectively utilize their spare time and automatically obtain the most suitable learning content for studying.
[0897] Example 1
[0898] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0899] In today's busy lifestyles, it is difficult for individuals to find time to study effectively. In particular, there is a lack of support for effectively utilizing spare time to advance their studies. Furthermore, existing learning support systems have difficulty responding flexibly to users' schedules and providing individually customized content. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can effectively utilize users' spare time and support their studies efficiently and effectively.
[0900] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0901] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring a user's schedule information, means for analyzing spare time from the schedule information, means for generating study content related to a set study topic based on the analyzed spare time, means for notifying the user of the generated study content, means for recording the user's study results, and means for using a generative AI model to generate the study content, thereby enabling analysis of the user's spare time and providing individually customized study content.
[0902] "User's schedule information" is data containing the user's schedule, obtained from a calendar application or schedule management system.
[0903] "Split time" refers to a short period of unused time between a user's scheduled appointments.
[0904] A "study topic" is a particular field or topic that a user wishes to study.
[0905] "Study content" refers to information such as teaching materials and exercises that are provided to users when they study.
[0906] A "generative AI model" is a program or system that uses artificial intelligence to generate learning content for users.
[0907] A "prompt" is a text instruction that instructs a generative AI model to generate specific learning content.
[0908] The "means for acquiring" refers to a function or device that performs the processing required to acquire the user's schedule information.
[0909] The "analyzing means" refers to a function or device for identifying and analyzing free time from the acquired schedule information.
[0910] The "means for generating" refers to a function or device that creates learning content based on the analyzed spare time.
[0911] The "notification means" refers to a function or device for notifying the user of the generated learning content.
[0912] "Recording means" refers to a function or device for saving and managing the user's learning results.
[0913] "Means for using a generative AI model" refers to a function or device for generating learning content using a generative AI model.
[0914] "Related materials" refers to information such as external books and literature that is necessary or useful for the user's study.
[0915] The present invention provides a system for effectively utilizing a user's spare time and supporting efficient learning. This system acquires the user's schedule information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. An embodiment of this system is described below in detail.
[0916] Get user calendar information
[0917] The device periodically retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses a schedule management system such as Google Calendar, the device uses the Google Calendar API to obtain the user's authentication information and retrieves the user's schedule information. This information includes the start time, end time, and event title of each event set by the user. The retrieved calendar information is sent to the server via a secure connection. The server stores the received calendar information in a database.
[0918] Analysis of spare time
[0919] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database. The server calculates the time difference between calendar events and identifies the user's free time. Free time is set based on certain criteria (e.g., 15 minutes or more of unused time). This analysis results in a list of the user's available study times during the day.
[0920] Registering and managing study topics
[0921] Users input the topic they want to learn through the application. For example, they can select "Python programming" or "data science." This input allows for customization according to the user's learning needs. Once the topic input is complete, the device sends this information to the server, which then stores the topic information in a database.
[0922] Generating learning content
[0923] The server generates learning content using a generative AI model based on the learning themes registered by the user. The generative AI uses, for example, the OpenAI API. By inputting appropriate prompts to the generative AI, learning materials appropriate for the user are generated.
[0924] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0925] The topic users want to learn is "Python Programming Basics." Please create simple learning materials for beginners. Please provide concise learning materials that include:
[0926] Python Basic Syntax
[0927] Simple code example
[0928] Exercises
[0929] Learning content notifications
[0930] The server sends the generated learning content to the device in time for the next available time slot. For example, the learning content is sent to the device in time for the available time slot between 9:00 and 9:30 the next day. The device receives this content and notifies the user. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[0931] Recording learning results
[0932] The user works through the provided learning content and enters the results into the application. This includes, for example, the results of quiz answers and the time spent studying. These results are sent to the server via the device. The server stores the received learning results in a database and manages them as the user's learning history.
[0933] Suggestions for related materials
[0934] The server suggests relevant materials based on the user's learning topic and learning history. For example, it uses the Amazon API to retrieve a list of books on "data science." Information about the suggested books is then sent to the user via their device.
[0935] Example operation
[0936] Let's say User B registers "Data Science" as a study topic in the application and wishes to study during their morning commute. First, the device sends the user's Google Calendar information to the server in the morning. The server finds a gap in time between 9:00 and 9:30. Next, the server sends a prompt to the generation AI to generate "Basic Data Science Teaching Materials," and the materials are generated. Then, as 9:00 approaches, the server sends the learning content to the device, and the device notifies User B. When User B finishes studying and enters the results, the device sends them to the server, which saves them. The server then retrieves a list of related books through the Amazon API and notifies User B.
[0937] In this way, the system of the present invention provides an efficient and customizable learning environment that allows users to make effective use of their spare time.
[0938] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0939] Step 1:
[0940] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. As input, the user's authentication information is required. If using the Google Calendar API, the device retrieves the calendar information using the user's authentication information. As output, the retrieved calendar information is returned. The calendar information includes the start time, end time, and title of the event. This information is then sent to the server over a secure connection.
[0941] Step 2:
[0942] The server receives the calendar information sent from the device and stores it in a database. As input, it takes the calendar information sent from the device. It analyzes the calendar information and identifies available time slots by calculating the time difference between events. As output, it obtains a list of available time slots stored in the database. This list contains the available time slots for the user throughout the day.
[0943] Step 3:
[0944] The user registers a learning topic using the application. As input, the user enters a learning topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." Once the topic has been entered, the device sends this information to the server. As output, the topic information is stored in a database on the server side.
[0945] Step 4:
[0946] The server uses a generative AI model to generate learning content based on the learning topic registered by the user. The learning topic and a prompt are used as input. For example, the prompt "The topic the user wants to learn is 'Python programming basics'. Please create simple learning materials for beginners." is input to the generative AI model. The generated learning content is obtained as output. This content includes learning materials and exercises.
[0947] Step 5:
[0948] The server sends the generated learning content to the device in time for the next available time. The generated learning content and the identified available time are used as input. The output is the learning content sent to the device. The device receives this content and notifies the user using push notifications or alarms.
[0949] Step 6:
[0950] The user works on the provided learning content. As input, access to the learning content is required. The user proceeds with the learning and enters the results into the application. As output, quiz answers, study time, etc. are obtained. The device sends these results to the server.
[0951] Step 7:
[0952] The server stores the received learning results in a database. The learning results sent by the user are used as input. The learning results are stored in a database as output and managed as the user's learning history.
[0953] Step 8:
[0954] The server suggests related materials based on the user's learning topic and history. The user's learning topic and history are used as input. The server obtains a list of related books, for example, using the Amazon API. The output is a list of suggested related materials. The device receives this information and notifies the user.
[0955] In this way, the system effectively utilizes users' spare time and supports efficient learning by providing individually customized learning content.
[0956] (Application example 1)
[0957] 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."
[0958] In modern society, there are many systems that allow users to effectively utilize their "spare time," but these systems have several problems. For example, if the spare time is too short, learning and information intake may not be effective, or the appropriate content may not be provided to the user. Furthermore, existing systems do not fully utilize generative AI models, making it difficult to provide customized learning materials suited to each user's individual learning topic and level. Therefore, a new system that effectively utilizes users' spare time and provides individually optimized learning content is needed.
[0959] 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.
[0960] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring the user's calendar information, a means for analyzing spare time from the calendar information, a means for providing study content only if the analyzed spare time is equal to or greater than a certain level, and a means for using a generative AI model to generate study content according to the study topic. This makes it possible to effectively utilize spare time and provide optimal study content according to the user's study topic.
[0961] "User calendar information" is data obtained from applications and systems that users use to record their daily schedules and appointments.
[0962] "Spare time" refers to free time between scheduled events in the user's calendar information.
[0963] A "study topic" is a particular subject or area that a user wishes to learn.
[0964] "Learning content" refers to information such as teaching materials, exercises, and explanatory texts that are provided based on a learning theme set by the user.
[0965] A "generative AI model" is an algorithm or system that uses artificial intelligence techniques to generate appropriate outputs for specific inputs.
[0966] The "scheduling means" is a means for periodically updating calendar information and carrying out planned processing for analyzing free time.
[0967] "Study history" refers to data that records what a user has learned and their progress to date.
[0968] "Related books" are books and reference materials related to the study theme set by the user.
[0969] This invention is a system that analyzes a user's calendar information and provides optimal learning content for spare time. Users can access this system using their smartphones to register and manage their calendar information.
[0970] First, the device (smartphone) periodically collects the user's calendar information using the Google Calendar API, etc. The collected calendar information is sent to a server, which then stores the information in a database.
[0971] Next, the server analyzes the calendar information and calculates the gap time between each event. This analysis involves first calculating the time difference between calendar events, and then listing gap times that are greater than a certain range (for example, 10 minutes or more).
[0972] Users register their study topics through a smartphone application. For example, they can set themes such as "Python programming" or "data science." The study topics registered by the user are sent to the server and stored in a database.
[0973] The server uses a generative AI model to generate learning content based on the learning themes registered by the user. For example, it uses the OpenAI API to generate basic explanations and exercises for "Python programming." The generated learning content is customized to the user's learning level.
[0974] The generated learning content is then sent to the device at the optimal time for the user to study. The device then notifies the user of the learning content and encourages them to study. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[0975] The user works on the learning content and inputs the results. For example, this includes quiz answers and study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which stores them in a database. This allows the user's learning history to be accumulated and progress to be checked.
[0976] Furthermore, the server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history, using the Amazon API or similar to obtain a list of books related to the study topic, and notifies the user via the device.
[0977] As a concrete example, suppose User B has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User B and prompts him / her to access the learning content. When User B finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User B via the device.
[0978] An example prompt is:
[0979] "Topic: Python Programming\nGenerate a textbook that provides basic explanations and exercises for Python."
[0980] By using the above means, the present invention can efficiently utilize the users' spare time and provide content that meets their individual learning needs.
[0981] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0982] Step 1:
[0983] The device periodically collects the user's calendar information using the Google Calendar API, etc. At this time, the device acquires the calendar information and sends it to the server. The input is the event data acquired from the Google Calendar API, and the output is the calendar information sent to the server.
[0984] Step 2:
[0985] The server saves the received calendar information in a database, which stores the user's schedule. The input is the calendar information sent from the terminal, and the output is the calendar information stored in the database.
[0986] Step 3:
[0987] The server analyzes the stored calendar information and calculates the gap time between each event. The analysis involves calculating the time difference between calendar events and listing gap times greater than a certain amount (for example, 10 minutes or more). The input is the calendar information obtained from the database, and the output is the listed gap time.
[0988] Step 4:
[0989] The user registers a learning topic using the terminal. For example, they set a topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." The input is the learning topic that the user enters into the terminal, and the output is the learning topic information sent to the server.
[0990] Step 5:
[0991] The server stores the learning topic information in a database and manages the user's learning topics. The input is the learning topic information sent from the terminal, and the output is the learning topic information stored in the database.
[0992] Step 6:
[0993] The server generates learning content using a generative AI model based on the learning topic registered by the user. At this time, a prompt is sent using the generative AI (e.g., OpenAI API) to obtain the generated content. The input is the learning topic and prompt registered by the user, and the output is the generated learning content. An example of a prompt is: "Topic: Python programming\nPlease generate a text that provides basic explanations and practice questions for Python."
[0994] Step 7:
[0995] The server sends the generated learning content to the device according to the listed spare time. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction. The input is the generated learning content and spare time information, and the output is the learning content notified to the device.
[0996] Step 8:
[0997] The user works on the learning content received from the device and inputs the results, such as quiz answer results and study time. The input is the learning results that the user enters into the device, and the output is the learning results sent to the server.
[0998] Step 9:
[0999] The server stores the user's learning results in a database and accumulates the user's learning history, allowing the user to check their progress. The input is the learning results sent from the device, and the output is the learning history stored in the database.
[1000] Step 10:
[1001] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history. It obtains a list of related books using the Amazon API or similar and notifies the device. The input is the user's study topic and history, and the output is the obtained list of related books.
[1002] 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.
[1003] The system of the present invention is designed to effectively utilize users' spare time and support efficient learning. The system acquires the user's calendar information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, the system recognizes the user's emotions and further improves the learning experience.
[1004] Get a user's calendar information
[1005] The device periodically retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device retrieves the user's schedule information using the Google Calendar API. This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server as a POST request. The server stores the received calendar information in a database.
[1006] Analysis of spare time
[1007] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time. It calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event to create a list of optimal gaps. From the list of gaps, it ranks the most appropriate times based on priority. This ranking is based on the length of the gaps and past learning history.
[1008] Registering and managing study topics
[1009] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. For example, they can input a topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." The device sends this information to the server, which then stores the topic information in a database.
[1010] Generating learning content
[1011] The server uses generative AI to generate learning content based on the registered learning topic. For example, it generates text and quizzes on basic concepts of Python programming. The generated learning content is then sent to the device in the next available time slot.
[1012] Introducing the Emotion Engine
[1013] The device is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to determine their current emotional state. The emotion engine's analysis results are sent from the device to the server.
[1014] Emotion-based learning content adjustment
[1015] The server dynamically adjusts learning content based on the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine. For example, if a user is nervous, it can provide relaxing content or encouraging messages.
[1016] Learning content notifications
[1017] The device will send a notification to the user at the designated time slot and display a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application will display the learning content.
[1018] Recording learning results
[1019] The user works through the provided learning content and inputs the results, such as quiz answers and study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which then stores them in a database and updates the user's learning history.
[1020] Related book suggestions
[1021] The server suggests related books based on the user's learning topic and history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device. The device then notifies the user of the book suggestions. The notification includes a summary of the book and a link to purchase it.
[1022] Specific examples
[1023] Consider the case where User A has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User A and encourages him / her to access the learning content. The device further analyzes the user's emotions using an emotion engine and provides appropriate relaxation techniques and encouraging messages. When User A finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User A via the device.
[1024] In this way, the system of the present invention is a system that effectively utilizes the user's spare time to efficiently advance learning, and further improves the user's learning experience by using an emotion engine.
[1025] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1026] Step 1:
[1027] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device retrieves schedule information using the Google Calendar API. This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[1028] Step 2:
[1029] The server receives the calendar information and stores it in a database. The start and end times of each event in the calendar are extracted and stored.
[1030] Step 3:
[1031] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time, calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event, and lists them.
[1032] Step 4:
[1033] The server ranks the listed spare time slots by priority, based on the length of the spare time slots and the user's past learning history.
[1034] Step 5:
[1035] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. They enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science" into the application's input form. After entering the information, the device sends the topic information to the server.
[1036] Step 6:
[1037] Based on the learning topics stored in the database, the server uses generative AI to generate relevant learning content, such as textbooks and quizzes on basic Python programming concepts.
[1038] Step 7:
[1039] The device uses an emotion engine to support user learning. When a user uses an application, the device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice tone, which are then analyzed by the emotion engine.
[1040] Step 8:
[1041] The server adjusts the learning content based on the generated learning content and the analysis results of the emotion engine. For example, if the user is nervous, it adds content to help them relax or an encouraging message.
[1042] Step 9:
[1043] The server transmits the adjusted learning content to the terminal in time for the next free time. The terminal receives the learning content and transmits a notification to the user when the next free time approaches.
[1044] Step 10:
[1045] The device notifies the user at the designated time and displays a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application displays the learning content.
[1046] Step 11:
[1047] The user engages with the provided learning content, for example, by reading learning resources or answering quizzes. When the user has finished learning, they enter the results into the device.
[1048] Step 12:
[1049] The device sends the user's learning results (e.g., number of correct answers in quizzes, study time) to the server. The server receives this information and stores it in a database to update the user's learning history.
[1050] Step 13:
[1051] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and study history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device.
[1052] Step 14:
[1053] The device notifies the user of book suggestions, which include a synopsis of the book and a link to purchase it for easy access by the user.
[1054] Through these steps, users can effectively utilize their free time and study. The introduction of the emotion engine provides appropriate learning support according to the user's psychological state, improving the learning experience.

[1238] Learning content notifications
[1239] The device notifies the user at the specified spare time and provides a link to the learning content. The input is the learning content adjusted for the spare time, and the output is the notification to the user. When the user clicks the link, the learning content is displayed.
[1240] Step 8:
[1241] Recording learning results
[1242] The user performs the learning content and inputs the results. For example, they record the results of quizzes and the time spent studying. The input is the learning results entered by the user, and the output is the learning result data sent to the server. The server stores this in a database and updates the user's learning history.
[1243] This allows the system to enable store employees to efficiently utilize their spare time and provide learning content tailored to their individual emotional state, thereby improving motivation and enabling continuous skill development.
[1244] 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.
[1245] 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.
[1246] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the headset type terminal 314.

[1260] Next, a description will be given of the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. 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."
[1261] The system of the present invention is designed to effectively utilize users' spare time and support efficient learning. This system acquires the user's calendar information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. The program and processing of this system are explained in natural language below.
[1262] Get a user's calendar information
[1263] The device periodically obtains the user's calendar information. For example, if the user uses Google Calendar, the device obtains schedule information using the Google Calendar API and sends it to the server. The server then stores the received calendar information in a database.
[1264] Analysis of spare time
[1265] The server analyzes the received calendar information and finds available time slots. The server calculates the time difference between calendar events and identifies the most suitable available time slots. The analyzed available time slots are then listed.
[1266] Registering and managing study topics
[1267] Users register the topic they want to learn through the application. For example, they can enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science." The device sends this information to the server, which then stores the topic information in a database.
[1268] Generating learning content
[1269] The server uses generative AI to generate learning content based on registered learning themes. For example, it uses the OpenAI API to generate basic Python programming explanations and exercises. This allows for the creation of customized learning materials tailored to the user's learning level.
[1270] Learning content notifications
[1271] The server then sends the generated learning content to the device in the next available time slot. The device then notifies the user and encourages them to study. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[1272] Recording learning results
[1273] The user works through the provided learning content and inputs the results. For example, this could be quiz answers or study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which stores them in a database. This allows the user's learning history to be accumulated and progress to be checked.
[1274] Related book suggestions
[1275] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history. For example, it uses the Amazon API to obtain a list of books related to the user's study topic. The server sends this information to the device, and the device notifies the user.
[1276] Specific examples
[1277] Suppose User B has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User B and prompts him / her to access the learning content. When User B finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User B via the device.
[1278] In this way, the system of the present invention makes effective use of the user's spare time and improves learning efficiency, thereby enabling the user to actively engage in learning.
[1279] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1280] Step 1:
[1281] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device uses the Google Calendar API to retrieve the user's schedule information. This information is converted into JSON format and then sent to the server as a POST request.
[1282] Step 2:
[1283] The server receives the calendar information, parses it, and extracts the start and end times of each event. The extracted information is then stored in a database.
[1284] Step 3:
[1285] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time. Specifically, it calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event, and lists the gaps.
[1286] Step 4:
[1287] The server ranks the listed spare time slots by priority, based on the length of the spare time slots and the user's past learning history.
[1288] Step 5:
[1289] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. They enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science" into an input form on the application, and the device sends this information to the server.
[1290] Step 6:
[1291] The server uses generative AI to generate relevant learning content based on the learning topic information stored in the database. For example, it uses a specific API to generate textbooks and quizzes on basic concepts of Python programming.
[1292] Step 7:
[1293] The server transmits the generated study content to the device in time for the next free time. After the device receives the study content, it sends a notification to the user when the next free time approaches.
[1294] Step 8:
[1295] The device will send a notification to the user at the designated time slot and display a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application will display the learning content.
[1296] Step 9:
[1297] The user engages with the provided learning content, for example, by reading learning resources or answering quizzes. When the user has finished learning, they enter the results into the device.
[1298] Step 10:
[1299] The device sends the user's learning results (e.g., number of correct answers in quizzes, study time) to the server. The server receives this information and stores it in a database to update the user's learning history.
[1300] Step 11:
[1301] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and study history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device.
[1302] Step 12:
[1303] The device notifies the user of book suggestions, including a synopsis and a link to purchase, allowing the user to further their learning.
[1304] Through these steps, the system allows users to effectively utilize their spare time and automatically obtain the most suitable learning content for studying.
[1305] Example 1
[1306] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1307] In today's busy lifestyles, it is difficult for individuals to find time to study effectively. In particular, there is a lack of support for effectively utilizing spare time to advance their studies. Furthermore, existing learning support systems have difficulty responding flexibly to users' schedules and providing individually customized content. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can effectively utilize users' spare time and support their studies efficiently and effectively.
[1308] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1309] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring a user's schedule information, means for analyzing spare time from the schedule information, means for generating study content related to a set study topic based on the analyzed spare time, means for notifying the user of the generated study content, means for recording the user's study results, and means for using a generative AI model to generate the study content, thereby enabling analysis of the user's spare time and providing individually customized study content.
[1310] "User's schedule information" is data containing the user's schedule, obtained from a calendar application or schedule management system.
[1311] "Split time" refers to a short period of unused time between a user's scheduled appointments.
[1312] A "study topic" is a particular field or topic that a user wishes to study.
[1313] "Study content" refers to information such as teaching materials and exercises that are provided to users when they study.
[1314] A "generative AI model" is a program or system that uses artificial intelligence to generate learning content for users.
[1315] A "prompt" is a text instruction that instructs a generative AI model to generate specific learning content.
[1316] The "means for acquiring" refers to a function or device that performs the processing required to acquire the user's schedule information.
[1317] The "analyzing means" refers to a function or device for identifying and analyzing free time from the acquired schedule information.
[1318] The "means for generating" refers to a function or device that creates learning content based on the analyzed spare time.
[1319] The "notification means" refers to a function or device for notifying the user of the generated learning content.
[1320] "Recording means" refers to a function or device for saving and managing the user's learning results.
[1321] "Means for using a generative AI model" refers to a function or device for generating learning content using a generative AI model.
[1322] "Related materials" refers to information such as external books and literature that is necessary or useful for the user's study.
[1323] The present invention provides a system for effectively utilizing a user's spare time and supporting efficient learning. This system acquires the user's schedule information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. An embodiment of this system is described below in detail.
[1324] Get user calendar information
[1325] The device periodically retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses a schedule management system such as Google Calendar, the device uses the Google Calendar API to obtain the user's authentication information and retrieves the user's schedule information. This information includes the start time, end time, and event title of each event set by the user. The retrieved calendar information is sent to the server via a secure connection. The server stores the received calendar information in a database.
[1326] Analysis of spare time
[1327] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database. The server calculates the time difference between calendar events and identifies the user's free time. Free time is set based on certain criteria (e.g., 15 minutes or more of unused time). This analysis results in a list of the user's available study times during the day.
[1328] Registering and managing study topics
[1329] Users input the topic they want to learn through the application. For example, they can select "Python programming" or "data science." This input allows for customization according to the user's learning needs. Once the topic is entered, the device sends this information to the server, which stores the topic information in a database.
[1330] Generating learning content
[1331] The server generates learning content using a generative AI model based on the learning themes registered by the user. The generative AI uses, for example, the OpenAI API. By inputting appropriate prompts to the generative AI, learning materials appropriate for the user are generated.
[1332] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1333] The topic users want to learn is "Python Programming Basics." Please create simple learning materials for beginners. Please provide concise learning materials that include:
[1334] Python Basic Syntax
[1335] Simple code example
[1336] Exercises
[1337] Learning content notifications
[1338] The server sends the generated learning content to the device in time for the next available time slot. For example, the learning content is sent to the device in time for the available time slot between 9:00 and 9:30 the next day. The device receives this content and notifies the user. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[1339] Recording learning results
[1340] The user works through the provided learning content and enters the results into the application. This includes, for example, the results of quiz answers and the time spent studying. These results are sent to the server via the device. The server stores the received learning results in a database and manages them as the user's learning history.
[1341] Suggestions for related materials
[1342] The server suggests relevant materials based on the user's learning topic and learning history. For example, it uses the Amazon API to retrieve a list of books on "data science." Information about the suggested books is then sent to the user via their device.
[1343] Example operation
[1344] Let's say User B registers "Data Science" as a study topic in the application and wishes to study during their morning commute. First, the device sends the user's Google Calendar information to the server in the morning. The server finds a gap in time between 9:00 and 9:30. Next, the server sends a prompt to the generation AI to generate "Basic Data Science Teaching Materials," and the materials are generated. Then, as 9:00 approaches, the server sends the learning content to the device, and the device notifies User B. When User B finishes studying and enters the results, the device sends them to the server, which saves them. The server then retrieves a list of related books through the Amazon API and notifies User B.
[1345] In this way, the system of the present invention provides an efficient and customizable learning environment that allows users to make effective use of their spare time.
[1346] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1347] Step 1:
[1348] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. As input, the user's authentication information is required. If using the Google Calendar API, the device retrieves the calendar information using the user's authentication information. As output, the retrieved calendar information is returned. The calendar information includes the start time, end time, and title of the event. This information is then sent to the server over a secure connection.
[1349] Step 2:
[1350] The server receives the calendar information sent from the device and stores it in a database. As input, it takes the calendar information sent from the device. It analyzes the calendar information and identifies available time slots by calculating the time difference between events. As output, it obtains a list of available time slots stored in the database. This list contains the available time slots for the user throughout the day.
[1351] Step 3:
[1352] The user registers a learning topic using the application. As input, the user enters a learning topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." Once the topic has been entered, the device sends this information to the server. As output, the topic information is stored in a database on the server side.
[1353] Step 4:
[1354] The server uses a generative AI model to generate learning content based on the learning topic registered by the user. The learning topic and a prompt are used as input. For example, the prompt "The topic the user wants to learn is 'Python programming basics'. Please create simple learning materials for beginners." is input to the generative AI model. The generated learning content is obtained as output. This content includes learning materials and exercises.
[1355] Step 5:
[1356] The server sends the generated learning content to the device in time for the next available time. The generated learning content and the identified available time are used as input. The output is the learning content sent to the device. The device receives this content and notifies the user using push notifications or alarms.
[1357] Step 6:
[1358] The user works on the provided learning content. As input, access to the learning content is required. The user proceeds with the learning and enters the results into the application. As output, quiz answers, study time, etc. are obtained. The device sends these results to the server.
[1359] Step 7:
[1360] The server stores the received learning results in a database. The learning results sent by the user are used as input. The learning results are stored in a database as output and managed as the user's learning history.
[1361] Step 8:
[1362] The server suggests related materials based on the user's learning topic and history. The user's learning topic and history are used as input. The server obtains a list of related books, for example, using the Amazon API. The output is a list of suggested related materials. The device receives this information and notifies the user.
[1363] In this way, the system effectively utilizes users' spare time and supports efficient learning by providing individually customized learning content.
[1364] (Application example 1)
[1365] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1366] In modern society, there are many systems that allow users to effectively utilize their "spare time," but these systems have several problems. For example, if the spare time is too short, learning and information intake may not be effective, or the appropriate content may not be provided to the user. Furthermore, existing systems do not fully utilize generative AI models, making it difficult to provide customized learning materials suited to each user's individual learning topic and level. Therefore, a new system that effectively utilizes users' spare time and provides individually optimized learning content is needed.
[1367] 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.
[1368] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring the user's calendar information, a means for analyzing spare time from the calendar information, a means for providing study content only if the analyzed spare time is equal to or greater than a certain level, and a means for using a generative AI model to generate study content according to the study topic. This makes it possible to effectively utilize spare time and provide optimal study content according to the user's study topic.
[1369] "User calendar information" is data obtained from applications and systems that users use to record their daily schedules and appointments.
[1370] "Spare time" refers to free time between scheduled events in the user's calendar information.
[1371] A "study topic" is a particular subject or area that a user wishes to learn.
[1372] "Learning content" refers to information such as teaching materials, exercises, and explanatory texts that are provided based on a learning theme set by the user.
[1373] A "generative AI model" is an algorithm or system that uses artificial intelligence techniques to generate appropriate outputs for specific inputs.
[1374] The "scheduling means" is a means for periodically updating calendar information and carrying out planned processing for analyzing free time.
[1375] "Study history" refers to data that records what a user has learned and their progress to date.
[1376] "Related books" are books and reference materials related to the study theme set by the user.
[1377] This invention is a system that analyzes a user's calendar information and provides optimal learning content for spare time. Users can access this system using their smartphones to register and manage their calendar information.
[1378] First, the device (smartphone) periodically collects the user's calendar information using the Google Calendar API, etc. The collected calendar information is sent to a server, which then stores the information in a database.
[1379] Next, the server analyzes the calendar information and calculates the gap time between each event. This analysis involves first calculating the time difference between calendar events, and then listing gap times that are greater than a certain range (for example, 10 minutes or more).
[1380] Users register their study topics through a smartphone application. For example, they can set themes such as "Python programming" or "data science." The study topics registered by the user are sent to the server and stored in a database.
[1381] The server uses a generative AI model to generate learning content based on the learning themes registered by the user. For example, it uses the OpenAI API to generate basic explanations and exercises for "Python programming." The generated learning content is customized to the user's learning level.
[1382] The generated learning content is then sent to the device at the optimal time for the user to study. The device then notifies the user of the learning content and encourages them to study. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction.
[1383] The user works on the learning content and inputs the results. For example, this includes quiz answers and study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which stores them in a database. This allows the user's learning history to be accumulated and progress to be checked.
[1384] Furthermore, the server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history, using the Amazon API or similar to obtain a list of books related to the study topic, and notifies the user via the device.
[1385] As a concrete example, suppose User B has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User B and prompts him / her to access the learning content. When User B finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User B via the device.
[1386] An example prompt is:
[1387] "Topic: Python Programming\nGenerate a textbook that provides basic explanations and exercises for Python."
[1388] By using the above means, the present invention can efficiently utilize the users' spare time and provide content that meets their individual learning needs.
[1389] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1390] Step 1:
[1391] The device periodically collects the user's calendar information using the Google Calendar API, etc. At this time, the device acquires the calendar information and sends it to the server. The input is the event data acquired from the Google Calendar API, and the output is the calendar information sent to the server.
[1392] Step 2:
[1393] The server saves the received calendar information in a database, which stores the user's schedule. The input is the calendar information sent from the terminal, and the output is the calendar information stored in the database.
[1394] Step 3:
[1395] The server analyzes the stored calendar information and calculates the gap time between each event. The analysis involves calculating the time difference between calendar events and listing gap times greater than a certain amount (for example, 10 minutes or more). The input is the calendar information obtained from the database, and the output is the listed gap time.
[1396] Step 4:
[1397] The user registers a learning topic using the terminal. For example, they set a topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." The input is the learning topic that the user enters into the terminal, and the output is the learning topic information sent to the server.
[1398] Step 5:
[1399] The server stores the learning topic information in a database and manages the user's learning topics. The input is the learning topic information sent from the terminal, and the output is the learning topic information stored in the database.
[1400] Step 6:
[1401] The server generates learning content using a generative AI model based on the learning topic registered by the user. At this time, a prompt is sent using the generative AI (e.g., OpenAI API) to obtain the generated content. The input is the learning topic and prompt registered by the user, and the output is the generated learning content. An example of a prompt is: "Topic: Python programming\nPlease generate a text that provides basic explanations and practice questions for Python."
[1402] Step 7:
[1403] The server sends the generated learning content to the device according to the listed spare time. The notification includes a link to the learning content and a brief introduction. The input is the generated learning content and spare time information, and the output is the learning content notified to the device.
[1404] Step 8:
[1405] The user works on the learning content received from the device and inputs the results, such as quiz answer results and study time. The input is the learning results that the user enters into the device, and the output is the learning results sent to the server.
[1406] Step 9:
[1407] The server stores the user's learning results in a database and accumulates the user's learning history, allowing the user to check their progress. The input is the learning results sent from the device, and the output is the learning history stored in the database.
[1408] Step 10:
[1409] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and history. It obtains a list of related books using the Amazon API or similar and notifies the device. The input is the user's study topic and history, and the output is the obtained list of related books.
[1410] 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.
[1411] The system of the present invention is designed to effectively utilize users' spare time and support efficient learning. The system acquires the user's calendar information and generates, notifies, and records learning content based on the analyzed spare time. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine, the system recognizes the user's emotions and further improves the learning experience.
[1412] Get a user's calendar information
[1413] The device periodically retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device retrieves the user's schedule information using the Google Calendar API. This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server as a POST request. The server stores the received calendar information in a database.
[1414] Analysis of spare time
[1415] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time. It calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event to create a list of optimal gaps. From the list of gaps, it ranks the most appropriate times based on priority. This ranking is based on the length of the gaps and past learning history.
[1416] Registering and managing study topics
[1417] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. For example, they can input a topic such as "Python programming" or "data science." The device sends this information to the server, which then stores the topic information in a database.
[1418] Generating learning content
[1419] The server uses generative AI to generate learning content based on the registered learning topic. For example, it generates text and quizzes on basic concepts of Python programming. The generated learning content is then sent to the device in the next available time slot.
[1420] Introducing the Emotion Engine
[1421] The device is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to determine their current emotional state. The emotion engine's analysis results are sent from the device to the server.
[1422] Emotion-based learning content adjustment
[1423] The server dynamically adjusts learning content based on the emotional data obtained from the emotion engine. For example, if a user is nervous, it can provide relaxing content or encouraging messages.
[1424] Learning content notifications
[1425] The device will send a notification to the user at the designated time slot and display a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application will display the learning content.
[1426] Recording learning results
[1427] The user works through the provided learning content and inputs the results, such as quiz answers and study time. The device sends the learning results to the server, which then stores them in a database and updates the user's learning history.
[1428] Related book suggestions
[1429] The server suggests related books based on the user's learning topic and history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device. The device then notifies the user of the book suggestions. The notification includes a summary of the book and a link to purchase it.
[1430] Specific examples
[1431] Consider the case where User A has registered "Data Science" as a study topic and wishes to study during his / her morning commute. The device sends the user's calendar information to the server early in the morning, and the server finds a gap in time during his / her commute (for example, 9:00-9:30). The server uses generative AI to generate basic learning materials and quizzes related to data science. When it is time to commute, the device notifies User A and encourages him / her to access the learning content. The device further analyzes the user's emotions using an emotion engine and provides appropriate relaxation techniques and encouraging messages. When User A finishes studying, the results are sent to the server via the device and stored. The server then suggests books related to data science and notifies User A via the device.
[1432] In this way, the system of the present invention is a system that effectively utilizes the user's spare time to efficiently advance learning, and further improves the user's learning experience by using an emotion engine.
[1433] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1434] Step 1:
[1435] The device retrieves the user's calendar information. If the user uses Google Calendar, the device retrieves schedule information using the Google Calendar API. This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[1436] Step 2:
[1437] The server receives the calendar information and stores it in a database. The start and end times of each event in the calendar are extracted and stored.
[1438] Step 3:
[1439] The server analyzes the calendar information stored in the database to identify gaps in time, calculates the difference between the end time of each event and the start time of the next event, and lists them.
[1440] Step 4:
[1441] The server ranks the listed spare time slots by priority, based on the length of the spare time slots and the user's past learning history.
[1442] Step 5:
[1443] Users register the topic they want to learn through the learning application. They enter topics such as "Python programming" or "data science" into the application's input form. After entering the information, the device sends the topic information to the server.
[1444] Step 6:
[1445] Based on the learning topics stored in the database, the server uses generative AI to generate relevant learning content, such as textbooks and quizzes on basic Python programming concepts.
[1446] Step 7:
[1447] The device uses an emotion engine to support user learning. When a user uses an application, the device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice tone, which are then analyzed by the emotion engine.
[1448] Step 8:
[1449] The server adjusts the learning content based on the generated learning content and the analysis results of the emotion engine. For example, if the user is nervous, it adds content to help them relax or an encouraging message.
[1450] Step 9:
[1451] The server transmits the adjusted learning content to the terminal in time for the next free time. The terminal receives the learning content and transmits a notification to the user when the next free time approaches.
[1452] Step 10:
[1453] The device notifies the user at the designated time and displays a link to the learning content. When the user clicks the link, the application displays the learning content.
[1454] Step 11:
[1455] The user engages with the provided learning content, for example, by reading learning resources or answering quizzes. When the user has finished learning, they enter the results into the device.
[1456] Step 12:
[1457] The device sends the user's learning results (e.g., number of correct answers in quizzes, study time) to the server. The server receives this information and stores it in a database to update the user's learning history.
[1458] Step 13:
[1459] The server suggests related books based on the user's study topic and study history. It uses a specific API to obtain a list of related books and sends it to the device.
[1460] Step 14:
[1461] The device notifies the user of book suggestions, which include a synopsis of the book and a link to purchase it for easy access by the user.
[1462] Through these steps, users can effectively utilize their free time and study. The introduction of the emotion engine provides appropriate learning support according to the user's psychological state, improving the learning experience.

[1651] This allows the system to enable store employees to efficiently utilize their spare time and provide learning content tailored to their individual emotional state, thereby improving motivation and enabling continuous skill development.
[1652] 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.
[1653] 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.
[1654] 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.
[1655] 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.
[1656] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[1657] 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.
[1658] 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).
[1659] 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.
[1660] 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."
[1661] 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.
[1662] 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).
[1663] 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.
[1664] 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.
[1665] 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.
[1666] 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.
[1667] 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.
[1668] 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.
[1669] 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.
[1670] 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.
