[0234] Conventional story creation systems make it difficult for users to easily create stories and share them in real time. Furthermore, the story options and developments are limited, preventing users from fully expressing their creativity. Furthermore, there is no way to convert the stories into e-book format for easy downloading and sharing.

[0235] 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.

[0236] In this invention, the server includes a selection means for allowing a user to select a story theme, a means for automatically generating a default story and development options, a selection means for allowing a user to select a next story development from the development options, a means for automatically generating story text and images based on the selection of the next story development, a means for saving and sharing the generated story, and a means for distributing the generated story in real time. This allows a user to easily generate a story and share and distribute it in real time. Furthermore, the user has more options in the story generation process, allowing them to enjoy a wider variety of developments. Furthermore, the generated story can be converted into an e-book format and provided as a download link or a real-time distribution link, improving user convenience.

[0237] "User" refers to a person who uses the system to generate, share and distribute stories.

[0238] "A means of selection for choosing the story theme" refers to the interface or functionality that allows the user to select the story genre and setting.

[0239] "Means for automatically generating an initial story and development options" refers to a function or algorithm that automatically creates a basic story setting and multiple subsequent development options based on a theme selected by the user.

[0240] "A means of selection for choosing the next development in the story" refers to an interface or function that allows the user to select the next development as the story progresses.

[0241] "Means for automatically generating narrative text and images" refers to functions or algorithms that automatically generate the next part of the text or visual material based on the development selected by the user.

[0242] "Means for storing and sharing generated stories" refers to features and algorithms that allow the completed stories to be stored in digital form and shared with other users.

[0243] "Means of real-time distribution" refers to the functions and algorithms that distribute the generated story to other users in real time via the Internet.

[0244] "Means for converting to e-book format" refers to a function or algorithm that automatically converts the generated story into a format for saving as an e-book.

[0245] "Download Link and Share Link" means a URL or hyperlink that allows other users to access, download, or view the Generated Story via the Internet.

[0246] "Real-time streaming link" refers to the URL or hyperlink used to stream a story in real time.

[0247] The present invention is a system that allows users to easily create stories using AI and distribute them in real time. This system is mainly composed of a server, a terminal, and a generative AI model. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[0248] First, the terminal provides the user with a selection means for selecting a story theme. This selection means is an interface that displays multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," and "science fiction") in a list or tile format. The user selects their preferred theme through this interface. The selected theme information is sent to the server.

[0249] The server uses a means for automatically generating a default story and development options based on the received theme information. In this process, a generative AI model is used to generate a background, character settings, and story progression related to the selected theme as default settings. The server also automatically generates multiple story development options, each of which indicates the next story development.

[0250] Next, the terminal displays the initial story settings and development options sent from the server to the user, and the user selects the next story development from these options. This selection information is then sent back to the server.

[0251] The server generates the text and corresponding images for the next part of the story based on the user's selection. Again, it uses a generative AI model to automatically create text and related images that fit the selected plot. The generated text and images are then sent to the device and displayed to the user.

[0252] By repeating this process, users gradually complete the story. Once the story is complete, the server saves the entire story as a digital file and converts it into an e-book format. The generated story is then provided to users as a download link, a sharing link, and even a real-time distribution link. Users can use these links to download the story or share it with other users.

[0253] For example, if the user selects the "Fantasy" theme and chooses "A hero goes on an adventure," here's what the prompt might look like:

[0254] Initial prompt: Create a basic story outline for a fantasy theme.

[0255] Prompt after user's choice: The last choice was: The hero goes on an adventure. Continue the story with interesting developments.

[0256] The hardware used includes servers (e.g., AWS EC2 instances) and software includes Flask (a lightweight Python web application framework) and the OpenAI API, allowing users to seamlessly create and distribute stories.

[0257] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0258] Step 1:

[0259] The user selects the theme of the story through the terminal.

[0260] Input: Multiple story themes (fantasy, mystery, science fiction, etc.)

[0261] Data processing: The device receives the theme selected by the user.

[0262] Output: Selected theme information

[0263] Specific operation: The terminal displays a story theme selection screen, the user selects a theme, and the selection information is sent to the server.

[0264] Step 2:

[0265] The server automatically generates an initial story and development options based on the received theme information.

[0266] Input: Selected theme information

[0267] Data processing: Generative AI models are used to generate default narratives and development options related to the theme.

[0268] Output: Initial story and multiple development options

[0269] Specific operation: The server inputs thematic information into the generative AI model, which then automatically generates the corresponding background, character settings, and initial story development.

[0270] Step 3:

[0271] The terminal displays to the user the default story and development options sent from the server.

[0272] Input: Default story and development options

[0273] Data processing: Formatting data for display.

[0274] Output: Display of the story and options on the user interface

[0275] Specific operation: The device displays the initial story and development options on the screen and prompts the user to select the next story development.

[0276] Step 4:

[0277] The user selects the next storyline and transmits the selection to the server.

[0278] Input: User-selected deployment options

[0279] Data processing: Send the selected information to the server.

[0280] Output: Selected story development information

[0281] Specific operation: The terminal transmits the deployment information selected by the user to the server.

[0282] Step 5:

[0283] The server automatically generates the text and images for the next part of the story based on the user's selections.

[0284] Input: Selected story development information

[0285] Data processing: Use a generative AI model to generate text and images for the next part of the story.

[0286] Output: Generated story text and associated images

[0287] Specific operation: The server inputs the selected information into the generative AI model, generates text and images, and sends the results to the terminal.

[0288] Step 6:

[0289] The terminal displays the generated story text and images to the user.

[0290] Input: Generated story text and associated images

[0291] Data processing: Formatting data for display.

[0292] Output: Display of story and images on a user interface

[0293] Specific operation: The device displays the generated story text and images on the screen and prompts the user to select the next story development.

[0294] Step 7:

[0295] If the user chooses to complete the story, the server saves the story as a digital file and converts it to an e-book format.

[0296] Input: Story completion instructions

[0297] Data processing: The generated stories are compiled into a single digital file and converted into an e-book format.

[0298] Output: Digital file in e-book format

[0299] What happens: The server converts the entire story into an e-book format and saves it as a file.

[0300] Step 8:

[0301] The server generates download links, sharing links, and real-time distribution links to provide the generated stories to users.

[0302] Input: Digital file in e-book format

[0303] Data processing: Generate download links, sharing links, and real-time distribution links.

[0304] Output: Download link, Share link, Real-time streaming link

[0305] What it does: The server generates links and provides them to users, who can then download the stories or share them with others.

[0306] 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.

[0307] This invention combines a system that allows users to easily create novels and picture books using AI with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This allows the system to suggest story developments that correspond to the user's emotional state, enabling more personalized story generation.

[0308] The system includes the following components:

[0309] 1. Theme selection method

[0310] The device provides the user with an interface that displays multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," "science fiction").

[0311] 2. Default Story Generation Method

[0312] The server generates a default story based on the received theme selection information, including basic background and character settings.

[0313] 3. Automatic generation of deployment options

[0314] The server automatically generates multiple story development options to present to the user based on the initial story.

[0315] 4. Deployment Selection Method

[0316] The terminal displays the story development options sent from the server to the user, and provides an interface that allows the user to select the next development.

[0317] 5. Automatic generation of narrative text and images

[0318] The server generates the text and corresponding images for the next part of the story based on the user's selection.

[0319] 6. Storage and Sharing Methods

[0320] The server stores the completed story as a digital file, and the device provides the user with a download link or a sharing link, and also includes a means for converting the generated story into an e-book format.

[0321] 7. Emotion Engine

[0322] It is an engine that recognizes the user's emotions, and includes means for recognizing emotions through facial expression analysis and voice analysis.

[0323] 8. Emotion-based deployment option generation method

[0324] Story development options are automatically generated based on the user's emotions recognized by the emotion engine.

[0325] 9. Emotionally responsive narrative adjustment

[0326] It includes means for adjusting the tone and content of the generated narrative text and images in response to the perceived user emotion.

[0327] As a concrete example, the operation of the system proceeds as follows.

[0334] 3. Starting Emotion Recognition

[0335] On-device: Triggers the emotion engine through the user's facial expressions and voice to recognize the user's emotional state in real time.

[0336] 4. Emotion-based option generation

[0337] Server: Based on the recognition results of the emotion engine, the server automatically generates and adjusts the development options presented to the user. For example, if the server recognizes that the user is having fun, it will select positive developments (e.g., "The hero finds new companions" as an option).

[0338] Terminal: Displays the generated choices to the user.

[0339] 5. Story Selection and Generation

[0340] User: Select "The hero goes on an adventure."

[0341] Terminal: Sends the user's selection to the server.

[0342] Server: Based on the selection, generate an image associated with the sentence "The hero obtained a magical sword and set out into the unknown."

[0343] Server: Adjust the tone and content of text and images according to emotion, as needed.

[0344] Terminal: Displays the generated text and images to the user.

[0345] Terminal: Displays the next story development options (e.g. "Fight the monster" or "Help a friend").

[0346] 6. Story Progression and Completion

[0347] The user selects the desired storyline, and the device sends the selection to the server. This process continues by repeating step 5.

[0348] The user completes the story by pressing the "Complete" button.

[0349] Server: Saves the entire story as a digital file (e.g., e-book format) and generates download and sharing links.

[0350] Device: Presents the user with options to save, share, or publish as an eBook. The user can download the story using a link or share it on social media.

[0351] As described above, this system allows users to easily create stories and receive emotional feedback during the process, and provides emotionally driven story development options, enabling a more personalized creative experience.

[0352] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0353] Step 1:

[0354] The device presents the user with a screen displaying multiple story themes (e.g., "Fantasy," "Mystery," "Science Fiction").

[0355] Step 2:

[0356] The user selects the theme that interests them from the displayed themes (e.g., "Fantasy").

[0357] Step 3:

[0358] The terminal transmits the selected theme information to the server.

[0359] Step 4:

[0360] The server generates a default story based on the received theme information, including basic background and character settings.

[0361] Step 5:

[0362] Based on the initial story, the server automatically generates multiple story development options (e.g., "The hero goes on an adventure" or "The hero learns magic") to present to the user.

[0363] Step 6:

[0364] The device displays to the user the default story and development options sent from the server.

[0385] Step 17:

[0386] The server compiles the entire story, stores it as a digital file (e.g., e-book format), and generates download and sharing links for users.

[0387] Step 18:

[0388] The device will then display a download link, a sharing link, and an option to publish the story as an e-book to the user, who can then use the link to download the story or share it on social media.

[0389] Example 2

[0390] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0391] While many story generation systems currently exist, they generally only mechanically generate stories based on standardized scripts and prompts, making it difficult to generate personalized stories that respond to the user's emotions and preferences. Furthermore, the development of stories based on user choices is limited, and few systems truly support user-centered story creation. Therefore, there is a need for a system that generates stories based on the user's emotions and provides a more intuitive and personalized creation experience.

[0392] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0480] What it does: The server saves the story as a PDF or EPUB, and the device provides the user with a download link and a sharing link, which the user can use to download or share the story.

[0481] (Application example 2)

[0482] 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."

[0483] Conventional story generation systems have the problem that the story development selected by the user is uniform, making it difficult to personalize according to the user's emotions. Furthermore, since there is no system that provides story development options based on emotions, the user experience is uniform. Furthermore, there is a lack of easy ways to save and share the generated stories, making it difficult for users to share the stories they generate with others.

[0484] 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: a selection means for a user to select a story theme; a means for automatically generating a default story and development options based on the theme selection; an emotion recognition means for recognizing a user's emotion; a means for adjusting and automatically generating development options based on the emotion recognized by the emotion recognition means; a selection means for a user to select a next story development from the development options; a means for automatically generating story text and images based on the selection of the next story development; a means for saving and sharing the generated story in an e-book format; a means for generating story development options to be presented to the user using prompt sentences; and a means for generating prompt sentences according to the user's emotions and using a generative AI model to assist in story generation. This allows story developments to be suggested according to the user's emotions, enabling more personalized story generation and making it possible to easily save and share the generated stories.

[0485] A "means for the user to select a story theme" is an interface that allows the user to select their preferred story theme from multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," "science fiction").

[0486] The "means for automatically generating an initial story and development options" is a system that automatically generates an initial story including basic background and character settings, as well as multiple options for subsequent development, based on a selected theme.

[0487] "Emotion recognition means for recognizing user emotions" refers to a system that analyzes a user's facial expressions and voice to recognize emotions in real time. Examples include technologies that analyze data collected through cameras and microphones.

[0488] The "means for adjusting and automatically generating story development options based on emotions" is a system that automatically generates story development options appropriate for the user's emotional state, such as positive or negative, based on the results of emotion recognition.

[0489] The "selection means for selecting the next story development" is an interface that allows the user to select the next story progression from among the generated story development options.

[0490] A "means for automatically generating narrative text and images" is a system that automatically generates text and related images corresponding to a story based on a development selected by a user. The generated content is consistent with the context of the selection.

[0491] "Means for saving and sharing stories in e-book format" is a system that saves completed stories as e-books and provides users with download links and sharing links.

[0492] The "means for generating story development options to be presented to the user using prompt sentences" is a system that generates story development options using prompt sentences and presents them to the user. An AI model is used to generate the prompt sentences.

[0493] "Means using generative AI models" refers to systems that utilize AI models (e.g., natural language generation models) to assist the story generation process, thereby enabling high-quality story generation and emotional content adjustment.

[0494] This invention is a system that uses AI to generate emotion-based stories for users, providing a personalized story experience. This system includes a user terminal and a cloud server. The specific configuration and processing flow of the system are described below.

[0519] Specific examples and prompts

[0520] For example, a user launches the app on their smartphone and selects the "Fantasy" theme. Using the camera and microphone, the system recognizes the user's emotion as "joy." As a result, it presents positive development options (e.g., "The hero finds new companions") and generates story continuations and images based on the user's choice.

[0521] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0522] Theme: Fantasy

[0523] User Emotion: Delight

[0524] Current Story: A hero obtains a magical sword.

[0525] Deployment options:

[0526] 1. The hero finds a new companion.

[0527] 2. The hero learns magic.

[0528] 3. The hero goes on an adventure.

[0529] A new story unfolds based on your choices:

[0530] Your users are feeling joy, so give them a story that builds on this emotion.

[0531] This allows users to enjoy a personalized storytelling experience that reflects their emotions, and the stories they create can be easily saved and shared.

[0532] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0533] Step 1:

[0534] When a user launches the app on their smartphone, a screen appears where they can select one of several story themes. The input is the user's theme selection operation, and the output is the selected theme information. The device then sends this theme information to the server.

[0535] Step 2:

[0536] The server automatically generates the initial setting part of the story and development options based on the received theme information. To do this, it uses a natural language generation model to generate basic background and character settings. The input is the theme information, and the output is the initial setting story and development options. The server sends this information to the terminal.

[0537] Step 3:

[0538] The user checks the deployment options screen. At the same time, the device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice in real time and collects the data. The input is the user's real-time data, and the output is the collected audio and video data.

[0539] Step 4:

[0540] The device uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the collected facial and voice data and recognize the user's emotions (e.g., joy, sadness, surprise, etc.). The input is the collected facial and voice data, and the output is the recognized user's emotional information. The device then sends this emotional information to the server.

[0541] Step 5:

[0542] The server uses a prompt generation engine to generate prompts for the next story development based on the received emotional information. The input is emotional information, and the output is a prompt based on the emotion. The server then sends this prompt to the generative AI model.

[0543] Step 6:

[0544] The generative AI model generates the continuation of the story and corresponding images based on the prompt text. The input is the prompt text, and the output is the generated story text and images. The server sends the generated text and images to the device.

[0545] Step 7:

[0546] The user checks the new story development and images displayed on the terminal and selects the next story development option. The input is the user's selection operation, and the output is the selected development information. The terminal sends this development information to the server.

[0547] Step 8:

[0548] The server regenerates the next story development based on the development information selected by the user. This process is repeated from step 2 to step 6. Finally, when the user indicates completion of the story, the server saves the entire story in e-book format and generates a download link and a sharing link. The input is the user's completion instruction and the generated story, and the output is the e-book file, download link, and sharing link.

[0549] In this way, a system is realized that dynamically develops a story in response to the user's emotions.

[0550] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0551] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (registered trademark) (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0771] "Means for automatically generating an initial story and development options" refers to a function or algorithm that automatically creates a basic story setting and multiple subsequent development options based on a theme selected by the user.

[0772] "A means of selection for choosing the next development in the story" refers to an interface or function that allows the user to select the next development as the story progresses.

[0773] "Means for automatically generating narrative text and images" refers to functions or algorithms that automatically generate the next part of the text or visual material based on the development selected by the user.

[0774] "Means for storing and sharing generated stories" refers to features and algorithms that allow the completed stories to be stored in digital form and shared with other users.

[0775] "Means of real-time distribution" refers to the functions and algorithms that distribute the generated story to other users in real time via the Internet.

[0776] "Means for converting to e-book format" refers to a function or algorithm that automatically converts the generated story into a format for saving as an e-book.

[0777] "Download Link and Share Link" means a URL or hyperlink that allows other users to access, download, or view the Generated Story via the Internet.

[0778] "Real-time streaming link" refers to the URL or hyperlink used to stream a story in real time.

[0779] The present invention is a system that allows users to easily create stories using AI and distribute them in real time. This system is mainly composed of a server, a terminal, and a generative AI model. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[0780] First, the terminal provides the user with a selection means for selecting a story theme. This selection means is an interface that displays multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," and "science fiction") in a list or tile format. The user selects their preferred theme through this interface. The selected theme information is sent to the server.

[0781] The server uses a means for automatically generating a default story and development options based on the received theme information. In this process, a generative AI model is used to generate a background, character settings, and story progression related to the selected theme as default settings. The server also automatically generates multiple story development options, each of which indicates the next story development.

[0782] Next, the terminal displays the initial story settings and development options sent from the server to the user, and the user selects the next story development from these options. This selection information is then sent back to the server.

[0783] The server generates the text and corresponding images for the next part of the story based on the user's selection. Again, it uses a generative AI model to automatically create text and related images that fit the selected plot. The generated text and images are then sent to the device and displayed to the user.

[0784] By repeating this process, users gradually complete the story. Once the story is complete, the server saves the entire story as a digital file and converts it into an e-book format. The generated story is then provided to users as a download link, a sharing link, and even a real-time distribution link. Users can use these links to download the story or share it with other users.

[0785] For example, if the user selects the "Fantasy" theme and chooses "A hero goes on an adventure," here's what the prompt might look like:

[0786] Initial prompt: Create a basic story outline for a fantasy theme.

[0787] Prompt after user's choice: The last choice was: The hero goes on an adventure. Continue the story with interesting developments.

[0788] The hardware used includes servers (e.g., AWS EC2 instances) and software includes Flask (a lightweight Python web application framework) and the OpenAI API, which allows users to seamlessly generate and distribute stories.

[0789] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0790] Step 1:

[0791] The user selects the theme of the story through the terminal.

[0792] Input: Multiple story themes (fantasy, mystery, science fiction, etc.)

[0793] Data processing: The device receives the theme selected by the user.

[0794] Output: Selected theme information

[0795] Specific operation: The terminal displays a story theme selection screen, the user selects a theme, and the selection information is sent to the server.

[0796] Step 2:

[0797] The server automatically generates an initial story and development options based on the received theme information.

[0798] Input: Selected theme information

[0799] Data processing: Generative AI models are used to generate default narratives and development options related to the theme.

[0800] Output: Initial story and multiple development options

[0801] Specific operation: The server inputs thematic information into the generative AI model, which then automatically generates the corresponding background, character settings, and initial story development.

[0802] Step 3:

[0803] The terminal displays to the user the default story and development options sent from the server.

[0804] Input: Default story and development options

[0805] Data processing: Formatting data for display.

[0806] Output: Display of the story and options on the user interface

[0807] Specific operation: The device displays the initial story and development options on the screen and prompts the user to select the next story development.

[0808] Step 4:

[0809] The user selects the next storyline and transmits the selection to the server.

[0810] Input: User-selected deployment options

[0811] Data processing: Send the selected information to the server.

[0812] Output: Selected story development information

[0813] Specific operation: The terminal transmits the deployment information selected by the user to the server.

[0814] Step 5:

[0815] The server automatically generates the text and images for the next part of the story based on the user's selections.

[0816] Input: Selected story development information

[0817] Data processing: Use a generative AI model to generate text and images for the next part of the story.

[0818] Output: Generated story text and associated images

[0819] Specific operation: The server inputs the selected information into the generative AI model, generates text and images, and sends the results to the terminal.

[0820] Step 6:

[0821] The terminal displays the generated story text and images to the user.

[0822] Input: Generated story text and associated images

[0823] Data processing: Formatting data for display.

[0824] Output: Display of story and images on a user interface

[0825] Specific operation: The device displays the generated story text and images on the screen and prompts the user to select the next story development.

[0826] Step 7:

[0827] If the user chooses to complete the story, the server saves the story as a digital file and converts it to an e-book format.

[0828] Input: Story completion instructions

[0829] Data processing: The generated stories are compiled into a single digital file and converted into an e-book format.

[0830] Output: Digital file in e-book format

[0831] What happens: The server converts the entire story into an e-book format and saves it as a file.

[0832] Step 8:

[0833] The server generates download links, sharing links, and real-time distribution links to provide the generated stories to users.

[0834] Input: Digital file in e-book format

[0835] Data processing: Generate download links, sharing links, and real-time distribution links.

[0836] Output: Download link, Share link, Real-time streaming link

[0837] What it does: The server generates links and provides them to users, who can then download the stories or share them with others.

[0838] 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.

[0839] This invention combines a system that allows users to easily create novels and picture books using AI with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This allows the system to suggest story developments that correspond to the user's emotional state, enabling more personalized story generation.

[0840] The system includes the following components:

[0841] 1. Theme selection method

[0842] The device provides the user with an interface that displays multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," "science fiction").

[0843] 2. Default Story Generation Method

[0844] The server generates a default story based on the received theme selection information, including basic background and character settings.

[0845] 3. Automatic generation of deployment options

[0866] 3. Starting Emotion Recognition

[0867] On-device: Triggers the emotion engine through the user's facial expressions and voice to recognize the user's emotional state in real time.

[0868] 4. Emotion-based option generation

[0869] Server: Based on the recognition results of the emotion engine, the server automatically generates and adjusts the development options presented to the user. For example, if the server recognizes that the user is having fun, it will select positive developments (e.g., "The hero finds new companions" as an option).

[0870] Terminal: Displays the generated choices to the user.

[0871] 5. Story Selection and Generation

[0872] User: Select "The hero goes on an adventure."

[1014] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1015] Conventional story generation systems have the problem that the story development selected by the user is uniform, making it difficult to personalize according to the user's emotions. Furthermore, since there is no system that provides story development options based on emotions, the user experience is uniform. Furthermore, there is a lack of easy ways to save and share the generated stories, making it difficult for users to share the stories they generate with others.

[1016] 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: a selection means for a user to select a story theme; a means for automatically generating a default story and development options based on the theme selection; an emotion recognition means for recognizing a user's emotion; a means for adjusting and automatically generating development options based on the emotion recognized by the emotion recognition means; a selection means for a user to select a next story development from the development options; a means for automatically generating story text and images based on the selection of the next story development; a means for saving and sharing the generated story in an e-book format; a means for generating story development options to be presented to the user using prompt sentences; and a means for generating prompt sentences according to the user's emotions and using a generative AI model to assist in story generation. This allows story developments to be suggested according to the user's emotions, enabling more personalized story generation and making it possible to easily save and share the generated stories.

[1017] A "means for the user to select a story theme" is an interface that allows the user to select their preferred story theme from multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," "science fiction").

[1018] The "means for automatically generating an initial story and development options" is a system that automatically generates an initial story including basic background and character settings, as well as multiple options for subsequent development, based on a selected theme.

[1050] Server: Saves the story in e-book format, generates download links and sharing links, and sends them to the device.

[1051] Specific examples and prompts

[1052] For example, a user launches the app on their smartphone and selects the "Fantasy" theme. Using the camera and microphone, the system recognizes the user's emotion as "joy." As a result, it presents positive development options (e.g., "The hero finds new companions") and generates story continuations and images based on the user's choice.

[1053] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1054] Theme: Fantasy

[1055] User Emotion: Delight

[1056] Current Story: A hero obtains a magical sword.

[1057] Deployment options:

[1058] 1. The hero finds a new companion.

[1059] 2. The hero learns magic.

[1060] 3. The hero goes on an adventure.

[1061] A new story unfolds based on your choices:

[1062] Your users are feeling joy, so give them a story that builds on this emotion.

[1063] This allows users to enjoy a personalized storytelling experience that reflects their emotions, and the stories they create can be easily saved and shared.

[1064] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1065] Step 1:

[1066] When a user launches the app on their smartphone, a screen appears where they can select one of several story themes. The input is the user's theme selection operation, and the output is the selected theme information. The device then sends this theme information to the server.

[1067] Step 2:

[1068] The server automatically generates the initial setting part of the story and development options based on the received theme information. To do this, it uses a natural language generation model to generate basic background and character settings. The input is the theme information, and the output is the initial setting story and development options. The server sends this information to the terminal.

[1069] Step 3:

[1070] The user checks the deployment options screen. At the same time, the device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice in real time and collects the data. The input is the user's real-time data, and the output is the collected audio and video data.

[1071] Step 4:

[1072] The device uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the collected facial and voice data and recognize the user's emotions (e.g., joy, sadness, surprise, etc.). The input is the collected facial and voice data, and the output is the recognized user's emotional information. The device then sends this emotional information to the server.

[1073] Step 5:

[1074] The server uses a prompt generation engine to generate prompts for the next story development based on the received emotional information. The input is emotional information, and the output is a prompt based on the emotion. The server then sends this prompt to the generative AI model.

[1075] Step 6:

[1076] The generative AI model generates the continuation of the story and corresponding images based on the prompt text. The input is the prompt text, and the output is the generated story text and images. The server sends the generated text and images to the device.

[1077] Step 7:

[1078] The user checks the new story development and images displayed on the terminal and selects the next story development option. The input is the user's selection operation, and the output is the selected development information. The terminal sends this development information to the server.

[1079] Step 8:

[1080] The server regenerates the next story development based on the development information selected by the user. This process is repeated from step 2 to step 6. Finally, when the user indicates completion of the story, the server saves the entire story in e-book format and generates a download link and a sharing link. The input is the user's completion instruction and the generated story, and the output is the e-book file, download link, and sharing link.

[1081] In this way, a system is realized that dynamically develops a story in response to the user's emotions.

[1082] 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.

[1083] 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.

[1310] "Real-time streaming link" refers to the URL or hyperlink used to stream a story in real time.

[1311] The present invention is a system that allows users to easily create stories using AI and distribute them in real time. This system is mainly composed of a server, a terminal, and a generative AI model. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[1312] First, the terminal provides the user with a selection means for selecting a story theme. This selection means is an interface that displays multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," and "science fiction") in a list or tile format. The user selects their preferred theme through this interface. The selected theme information is sent to the server.

[1313] The server uses a means for automatically generating a default story and development options based on the received theme information. In this process, a generative AI model is used to generate a background, character settings, and story progression related to the selected theme as default settings. The server also automatically generates multiple story development options, each of which indicates the next story development.

[1314] Next, the terminal displays the initial story settings and development options sent from the server to the user, and the user selects the next story development from these options. This selection information is then sent back to the server.

[1315] The server generates the text and corresponding images for the next part of the story based on the user's selection. Again, it uses a generative AI model to automatically create text and related images that fit the selected plot. The generated text and images are then sent to the device and displayed to the user.

[1316] By repeating this process, users gradually complete the story. Once the story is complete, the server saves the entire story as a digital file and converts it into an e-book format. The generated story is then provided to users as a download link, a sharing link, and even a real-time distribution link. Users can use these links to download the story or share it with other users.

[1317] For example, if the user selects the "Fantasy" theme and chooses "A hero goes on an adventure," here's what the prompt might look like:

[1318] Initial prompt: Create a basic story outline for a fantasy theme.

[1319] Prompt after user's choice: The last choice was: The hero goes on an adventure. Continue the story with interesting developments.

[1320] The hardware used includes servers (e.g., AWS EC2 instances) and software includes Flask (a lightweight Python web application framework) and the OpenAI API, which allows users to seamlessly generate and distribute stories.

[1321] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1322] Step 1:

[1323] The user selects the theme of the story through the terminal.

[1324] Input: Multiple story themes (fantasy, mystery, science fiction, etc.)

[1325] Data processing: The device receives the theme selected by the user.

[1326] Output: Selected theme information

[1327] Specific operation: The terminal displays a story theme selection screen, the user selects a theme, and the selection information is sent to the server.

[1328] Step 2:

[1329] The server automatically generates an initial story and development options based on the received theme information.

[1330] Input: Selected theme information

[1331] Data processing: Generative AI models are used to generate default narratives and development options related to the theme.

[1332] Output: Initial story and multiple development options

[1333] Specific operation: The server inputs thematic information into the generative AI model, which then automatically generates the corresponding background, character settings, and initial story development.

[1334] Step 3:

[1335] The terminal displays to the user the default story and development options sent from the server.

[1336] Input: Default story and development options

[1337] Data processing: Formatting data for display.

[1338] Output: Display of the story and options on the user interface

[1339] Specific operation: The device displays the initial story and development options on the screen and prompts the user to select the next story development.

[1340] Step 4:

[1341] The user selects the next storyline and transmits the selection to the server.

[1342] Input: User-selected deployment options

[1343] Data processing: Send the selected information to the server.

[1344] Output: Selected story development information

[1345] Specific operation: The terminal transmits the deployment information selected by the user to the server.

[1346] Step 5:

[1347] The server automatically generates the text and images for the next part of the story based on the user's selections.

[1348] Input: Selected story development information

[1349] Data processing: Use a generative AI model to generate text and images for the next part of the story.

[1350] Output: Generated story text and associated images

[1351] Specific operation: The server inputs the selected information into the generative AI model, generates text and images, and sends the results to the terminal.

[1352] Step 6:

[1353] The terminal displays the generated story text and images to the user.

[1354] Input: Generated story text and associated images

[1355] Data processing: Formatting data for display.

[1356] Output: Display of story and images on a user interface

[1357] Specific operation: The device displays the generated story text and images on the screen and prompts the user to select the next story development.

[1358] Step 7:

[1359] If the user chooses to complete the story, the server saves the story as a digital file and converts it to an e-book format.

[1360] Input: Story completion instructions

[1361] Data processing: The generated stories are compiled into a single digital file and converted into an e-book format.

[1362] Output: Digital file in e-book format

[1363] What happens: The server converts the entire story into an e-book format and saves it as a file.

[1364] Step 8:

[1365] The server generates download links, sharing links, and real-time distribution links to provide the generated stories to users.

[1366] Input: Digital file in e-book format

[1367] Data processing: Generate download links, sharing links, and real-time distribution links.

[1368] Output: Download link, Share link, Real-time streaming link

[1369] What it does: The server generates links and provides them to users, who can then download the stories or share them with others.

[1370] 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.

[1371] This invention combines a system that allows users to easily create novels and picture books using AI with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This allows the system to suggest story developments that correspond to the user's emotional state, enabling more personalized story generation.

[1372] The system includes the following components:

[1373] 1. Theme selection method

[1374] The device provides the user with an interface that displays multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," "science fiction").

[1375] 2. Default Story Generation Method

[1376] The server generates a default story based on the received theme selection information, including basic background and character settings.

[1377] 3. Automatic generation of deployment options

[1453] Example 2

[1454] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1455] While many story generation systems currently exist, they generally only mechanically generate stories based on standardized scripts and prompts, making it difficult to generate personalized stories that respond to the user's emotions and preferences. Furthermore, the development of stories based on user choices is limited, and few systems truly support user-centered story creation. Therefore, there is a need for a system that generates stories based on the user's emotions and provides a more intuitive and personalized creation experience.

[1456] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1547] Conventional story generation systems have the problem that the story development selected by the user is uniform, making it difficult to personalize according to the user's emotions. Furthermore, since there is no system that provides story development options based on emotions, the user experience is uniform. Furthermore, there is a lack of easy ways to save and share the generated stories, making it difficult for users to share the stories they generate with others.

[1548] 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: a selection means for a user to select a story theme; a means for automatically generating a default story and development options based on the theme selection; an emotion recognition means for recognizing a user's emotion; a means for adjusting and automatically generating development options based on the emotion recognized by the emotion recognition means; a selection means for a user to select a next story development from the development options; a means for automatically generating story text and images based on the selection of the next story development; a means for saving and sharing the generated story in an e-book format; a means for generating story development options to be presented to the user using prompt sentences; and a means for generating prompt sentences according to the user's emotions and using a generative AI model to assist in story generation. This allows story developments to be suggested according to the user's emotions, enabling more personalized story generation and making it possible to easily save and share the generated stories.

[1549] A "means for the user to select a story theme" is an interface that allows the user to select their preferred story theme from multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," "science fiction").

[1550] The "means for automatically generating an initial story and development options" is a system that automatically generates an initial story including basic background and character settings, as well as multiple options for subsequent development, based on a selected theme.

[1587] User Emotion: Delight

[1588] Current Story: A hero obtains a magical sword.

[1589] Deployment options:

[1590] 1. The hero finds a new companion.

[1591] 2. The hero learns magic.

[1592] 3. The hero goes on an adventure.

[1593] A new story unfolds based on your choices:

[1594] Your users are feeling joy, so give them a story that builds on this emotion.

[1595] This allows users to enjoy a personalized storytelling experience that reflects their emotions, and the stories they create can be easily saved and shared.

[1596] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1597] Step 1:

[1598] When a user launches the app on their smartphone, a screen appears where they can select one of several story themes. The input is the user's theme selection operation, and the output is the selected theme information. The device then sends this theme information to the server.

[1599] Step 2:

[1600] The server automatically generates the initial setting part of the story and development options based on the received theme information. To do this, it uses a natural language generation model to generate basic background and character settings. The input is the theme information, and the output is the initial setting story and development options. The server sends this information to the terminal.

[1601] Step 3:

[1602] The user checks the deployment options screen. At the same time, the device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice in real time and collects the data. The input is the user's real-time data, and the output is the collected audio and video data.

[1603] Step 4:

[1604] The device uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the collected facial and voice data and recognize the user's emotions (e.g., joy, sadness, surprise, etc.). The input is the collected facial and voice data, and the output is the recognized user's emotional information. The device then sends this emotional information to the server.

[1605] Step 5:

[1606] The server uses a prompt generation engine to generate prompts for the next story development based on the received emotional information. The input is emotional information, and the output is a prompt based on the emotion. The server then sends this prompt to the generative AI model.

[1607] Step 6:

[1608] The generative AI model generates the continuation of the story and corresponding images based on the prompt text. The input is the prompt text, and the output is the generated story text and images. The server sends the generated text and images to the device.

[1609] Step 7:

[1610] The user checks the new story development and images displayed on the terminal and selects the next story development option. The input is the user's selection operation, and the output is the selected development information. The terminal sends this development information to the server.

[1611] Step 8:

[1612] The server regenerates the next story development based on the development information selected by the user. This process is repeated from step 2 to step 6. Finally, when the user indicates completion of the story, the server saves the entire story in e-book format and generates a download link and a sharing link. The input is the user's completion instruction and the generated story, and the output is the e-book file, download link, and sharing link.

[1613] In this way, a system is realized that dynamically develops a story in response to the user's emotions.

[1844] The present invention is a system that allows users to easily create stories using AI and distribute them in real time. This system is mainly composed of a server, a terminal, and a generative AI model. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[1845] First, the terminal provides the user with a selection means for selecting a story theme. This selection means is an interface that displays multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," and "science fiction") in a list or tile format. The user selects their preferred theme through this interface. The selected theme information is sent to the server.

[1846] The server uses a means for automatically generating a default story and development options based on the received theme information. In this process, a generative AI model is used to generate a background, character settings, and story progression related to the selected theme as default settings. The server also automatically generates multiple story development options, each of which indicates the next story development.

[1847] Next, the terminal displays the initial story settings and development options sent from the server to the user, and the user selects the next story development from these options. This selection information is then sent back to the server.

[1848] The server generates the text and corresponding images for the next part of the story based on the user's selection. Again, it uses a generative AI model to automatically create text and related images that fit the selected plot. The generated text and images are then sent to the device and displayed to the user.

[1849] By repeating this process, users gradually complete the story. Once the story is complete, the server saves the entire story as a digital file and converts it into an e-book format. The generated story is then provided to users as a download link, a sharing link, and even a real-time distribution link. Users can use these links to download the story or share it with other users.

[1850] For example, if the user selects the "Fantasy" theme and chooses "A hero goes on an adventure," here's what the prompt might look like:

[1851] Initial prompt: Create a basic story outline for a fantasy theme.

[1852] Prompt after user's choice: The last choice was: The hero goes on an adventure. Continue the story with interesting developments.

[1853] The hardware used includes servers (e.g., AWS EC2 instances) and software includes Flask (a lightweight Python web application framework) and the OpenAI API, which allows users to seamlessly generate and distribute stories.

[1854] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1855] Step 1:

[1856] The user selects the theme of the story through the terminal.

[1857] Input: Multiple story themes (fantasy, mystery, science fiction, etc.)

[1858] Data processing: The device receives the theme selected by the user.

[1859] Output: Selected theme information

[1860] Specific operation: The terminal displays a story theme selection screen, the user selects a theme, and the selection information is sent to the server.

[1861] Step 2:

[1862] The server automatically generates an initial story and development options based on the received theme information.

[1863] Input: Selected theme information

[1864] Data processing: Generative AI models are used to generate default narratives and development options related to the theme.

[1865] Output: Initial story and multiple development options

[1866] Specific operation: The server inputs thematic information into the generative AI model, which then automatically generates the corresponding background, character settings, and initial story development.

[1867] Step 3:

[1868] The terminal displays to the user the default story and development options sent from the server.

[1869] Input: Default story and development options

[1870] Data processing: Formatting data for display.

[1871] Output: Display of the story and options on the user interface

[1872] Specific operation: The device displays the initial story and development options on the screen and prompts the user to select the next story development.

[1873] Step 4:

[1874] The user selects the next storyline and transmits the selection to the server.

[1875] Input: User-selected deployment options

[1876] Data processing: Send the selected information to the server.

[1877] Output: Selected story development information

[1878] Specific operation: The terminal transmits the deployment information selected by the user to the server.

[1879] Step 5:

[1880] The server automatically generates the text and images for the next part of the story based on the user's selections.

[1881] Input: Selected story development information

[1882] Data processing: Use a generative AI model to generate text and images for the next part of the story.

[1883] Output: Generated story text and associated images

[1884] Specific operation: The server inputs the selected information into the generative AI model, generates text and images, and sends the results to the terminal.

[1885] Step 6:

[1886] The terminal displays the generated story text and images to the user.

[1887] Input: Generated story text and associated images

[1888] Data processing: Formatting data for display.

[1889] Output: Display of story and images on a user interface

[1890] Specific operation: The device displays the generated story text and images on the screen and prompts the user to select the next story development.

[1891] Step 7:

[1892] If the user chooses to complete the story, the server saves the story as a digital file and converts it to an e-book format.

[1893] Input: Story completion instructions

[1894] Data processing: The generated stories are compiled into a single digital file and converted into an e-book format.

[1895] Output: Digital file in e-book format

[1896] What happens: The server converts the entire story into an e-book format and saves it as a file.

[1897] Step 8:

[1898] The server generates download links, sharing links, and real-time distribution links to provide the generated stories to users.

[1899] Input: Digital file in e-book format

[1900] Data processing: Generate download links, sharing links, and real-time distribution links.

[1901] Output: Download link, Share link, Real-time streaming link

[1902] What it does: The server generates links and provides them to users, who can then download the stories or share them with others.

[1903] 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.

[1904] This invention combines a system that allows users to easily create novels and picture books using AI with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This allows the system to suggest story developments that correspond to the user's emotional state, enabling more personalized story generation.

[1905] The system includes the following components:

[1906] 1. Theme selection method

[1907] The device provides the user with an interface that displays multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," "science fiction").

[1908] 2. Default Story Generation Method

[1909] The server generates a default story based on the received theme selection information, including basic background and character settings.

[1910] 3. Automatic generation of deployment options

[1911] The server automatically generates multiple story development options to present to the user based on the initial story.

[1912] 4. Deployment Selection Method

[1913] The terminal displays the story development options sent from the server to the user, and provides an interface that allows the user to select the next development.

[1914] 5. Automatic generation of narrative text and images

[1915] The server generates the text and corresponding images for the next part of the story based on the user's selection.

[1916] 6. Storage and Sharing Methods

[1917] The server stores the completed story as a digital file, and the device provides the user with a download link or a sharing link, and also includes a means for converting the generated story into an e-book format.

[1918] 7. Emotion Engine

[1919] It is an engine that recognizes the user's emotions, and includes means for recognizing emotions through facial expression analysis and voice analysis.

[1920] 8. Emotion-based deployment option generation method

[1921] Story development options are automatically generated based on the user's emotions recognized by the emotion engine.

[1922] 9. Emotionally responsive narrative adjustment

[1923] It includes means for adjusting the tone and content of the generated narrative text and images in response to the perceived user emotion.

[1924] As a concrete example, the operation of the system proceeds as follows.

[1925] 1. Choose a theme

[1931] 3. Starting Emotion Recognition

[1932] On-device: Triggers the emotion engine through the user's facial expressions and voice to recognize the user's emotional state in real time.

[1933] 4. Emotion-based option generation

[1934] Server: Based on the recognition results of the emotion engine, the server automatically generates and adjusts the development options presented to the user. For example, if the server recognizes that the user is having fun, it will select positive developments (e.g., "The hero finds new companions" as an option).

[1935] Terminal: Displays the generated choices to the user.

[1936] 5. Story Selection and Generation

[1937] User: Select "The hero goes on an adventure."

[1938] Terminal: Sends the user's selection to the server.

[1940] Server: Adjust the tone and content of text and images according to emotion, as needed.

[1941] Terminal: Displays the generated text and images to the user.

[1942] Terminal: Displays the next story development options (e.g. "Fight the monster" or "Help a friend").

[1943] 6. Story Progression and Completion

[1944] The user selects the desired storyline, and the device sends the selection to the server. This process continues by repeating step 5.

[1945] The user completes the story by pressing the "Complete" button.

[1946] Server: Saves the entire story as a digital file (e.g., e-book format) and generates download and sharing links.

[1947] Device: Presents the user with options to save, share, or publish as an eBook. The user can download the story using a link or share it on social media.

[1948] As described above, this system allows users to easily create stories and receive emotional feedback during the process, and provides emotionally driven story development options, enabling a more personalized creative experience.

[1949] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1950] Step 1:

[1951] The device presents the user with a screen displaying multiple story themes (e.g., "Fantasy," "Mystery," "Science Fiction").

[1952] Step 2:

[1953] The user selects the theme that interests them from the displayed themes (e.g., "Fantasy").

[1954] Step 3:

[1955] The terminal transmits the selected theme information to the server.

[1956] Step 4:

[1957] The server generates a default story based on the received theme information, including basic background and character settings.

[1958] Step 5:

[1984] Step 18:

[1985] The device will then display a download link, a sharing link, and an option to publish the story as an e-book to the user, who can then use the link to download the story or share it on social media.

[1986] Example 2

[1987] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1988] While many story generation systems currently exist, they generally only mechanically generate stories based on standardized scripts and prompts, making it difficult to generate personalized stories that respond to the user's emotions and preferences. Furthermore, the development of stories based on user choices is limited, and few systems truly support user-centered story creation. Therefore, there is a need for a system that generates stories based on the user's emotions and provides a more intuitive and personalized creation experience.

[1989] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[2078] (Application example 2)

[2079] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[2080] Conventional story generation systems have the problem that the story development selected by the user is uniform, making it difficult to personalize according to the user's emotions. Furthermore, since there is no system that provides story development options based on emotions, the user experience is uniform. Furthermore, there is a lack of easy ways to save and share the generated stories, making it difficult for users to share the stories they generate with others.

[2081] 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: a selection means for a user to select a story theme; a means for automatically generating a default story and development options based on the theme selection; an emotion recognition means for recognizing a user's emotion; a means for adjusting and automatically generating development options based on the emotion recognized by the emotion recognition means; a selection means for a user to select a next story development from the development options; a means for automatically generating story text and images based on the selection of the next story development; a means for saving and sharing the generated story in an e-book format; a means for generating story development options to be presented to the user using prompt sentences; and a means for generating prompt sentences according to the user's emotions and using a generative AI model to assist in story generation. This allows story developments to be suggested according to the user's emotions, enabling more personalized story generation and making it possible to easily save and share the generated stories.

[2082] A "means for the user to select a story theme" is an interface that allows the user to select their preferred story theme from multiple story themes (e.g., "fantasy," "mystery," "science fiction").

[2083] The "means for automatically generating an initial story and development options" is a system that automatically generates an initial story including basic background and character settings, as well as multiple options for subsequent development, based on a selected theme.

[2116] Specific examples and prompts

[2117] For example, a user launches the app on their smartphone and selects the "Fantasy" theme. Using the camera and microphone, the system recognizes the user's emotion as "joy." As a result, it presents positive development options (e.g., "The hero finds new companions") and generates story continuations and images based on the user's choice.

[2118] Prompt Sentence Examples

[2119] Theme: Fantasy

[2120] User Emotion: Delight

[2121] Current Story: A hero obtains a magical sword.

[2122] Deployment options:

[2123] 1. The hero finds a new companion.

[2124] 2. The hero learns magic.

[2125] 3. The hero goes on an adventure.

[2126] A new story unfolds based on your choices:

[2127] Your users are feeling joy, so give them a story that builds on this emotion.

[2128] This allows users to enjoy a personalized storytelling experience that reflects their emotions, and the stories they create can be easily saved and shared.

[2129] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[2130] Step 1:

[2131] When a user launches the app on their smartphone, a screen appears where they can select one of several story themes. The input is the user's theme selection operation, and the output is the selected theme information. The device then sends this theme information to the server.

[2132] Step 2:

[2133] The server automatically generates the initial setting part of the story and development options based on the received theme information. To do this, it uses a natural language generation model to generate basic background and character settings. The input is the theme information, and the output is the initial setting story and development options. The server sends this information to the terminal.

[2134] Step 3:

[2135] The user checks the deployment options screen. At the same time, the device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice in real time and collects the data. The input is the user's real-time data, and the output is the collected audio and video data.

[2136] Step 4:

[2137] The device uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the collected facial and voice data and recognize the user's emotions (e.g., joy, sadness, surprise, etc.). The input is the collected facial and voice data, and the output is the recognized user's emotional information. The device then sends this emotional information to the server.

[2138] Step 5:

[2139] The server uses a prompt generation engine to generate prompts for the next story development based on the received emotional information. The input is emotional information, and the output is a prompt based on the emotion. The server then sends this prompt to the generative AI model.

[2140] Step 6:

[2141] The generative AI model generates the continuation of the story and corresponding images based on the prompt text. The input is the prompt text, and the output is the generated story text and images. The server sends the generated text and images to the device.

[2142] Step 7:

[2143] The user checks the new story development and images displayed on the terminal and selects the next story development option. The input is the user's selection operation, and the output is the selected development information. The terminal sends this development information to the server.

[2144] Step 8:

[2145] The server regenerates the next story development based on the development information selected by the user. This process is repeated from step 2 to step 6. Finally, when the user indicates completion of the story, the server saves the entire story in e-book format and generates a download link and a sharing link. The input is the user's completion instruction and the generated story, and the output is the e-book file, download link, and sharing link.

[2146] In this way, a system is realized that dynamically develops a story in response to the user's emotions.

[2147] 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.

[2148] 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.

[2149] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.

[2150] 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.

[2151] 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.

[2152] 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.

[2153] 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).

[2154] 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.

[2155] 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."

[2156] 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.

[2157] 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).

[2158] 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.

[2159] 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.

[2160] 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.

[2161] 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.

[2162] 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.

[2163] 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.

[2164] 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.

[2165] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
