[0155] Example 1

[0156] 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."

[0157] Conventional e-commerce systems make it difficult for users to consider the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) when selecting products. Furthermore, there are limited ways for users to find out how much their purchasing behavior contributes to the SDGs after purchase. This makes it difficult for consumers to understand the impact on the environment and society, making it difficult to make conscious purchasing decisions. Furthermore, there are not enough systems that allow users to evaluate products based on their own SDG priorities.

[0158] 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.

[0159] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving user authentication information from a user, means for authenticating the user based on a database, means for supporting the authenticated user in setting multiple sustainable development goals, means for retrieving information on products that match a search query from the database, means for calculating a score related to the sustainable development goals set by the user based on the product information, means for providing the user with detailed information on the products including the calculated score, and means for calculating and displaying the user's contribution to the sustainable development goals based on the user's purchase history. This enables users to easily adopt purchasing behavior that takes sustainability into consideration and clearly understand the degree of social contribution after purchase.

[0160] "User authentication information" refers to the identification information provided by a user when logging into a system, and primarily includes a username and password.

[0161] A "database" is a collection of digital data stored and managed within the system, including user authentication information, product information, and the like.

[0162] "Authentication" is the process of verifying that the user is a legitimate user by checking the authentication information entered by the user against a database.

[0163] The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals set by the United Nations aimed at sustainable development, and are a set of specific targets for solving issues such as environmental protection and poverty reduction.

[0164] A "search query" is a keyword or phrase that a user enters to search for information within the system.

[0165] "Product Information" refers to data related to a product, including, for example, name, price, availability, and sustainability data.

[0166] The "score" is a number that indicates how much a product contributes to the sustainable development goals set by the user.

[0167] "User purchase history" is a record of purchases that a user has made in the system in the past, and includes information such as date and time, purchased items, and quantities.

[0168] The "dashboard" is the interface that appears when a user accesses the system, and provides visual information on important data such as past Sustainable Development Goal setting information.

[0169] "Visual confirmation" refers to the use of diagrams, graphs, icons, etc. in product details to show which Sustainable Development Goals a product contributes to and how it contributes to them.

[0170] The "Sustainable Development Goals Score" is an index used to evaluate the extent to which products and actions contribute to the sustainable development goals set by users.

[0171] This invention is a system that helps users select the most suitable product by comparing and evaluating products not only in terms of price but also in terms of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).The system provides consistent support from entering user authentication information to tracking the contribution to the SDGs after purchase.

[0172] Basic system configuration

[0173] The system is mainly composed of three main components: a server, a terminal, and a database, which enable a series of processes such as searching, rating, purchasing, and tracking based on user input information.

[0174] The server is responsible for data processing, receiving and processing information sent from the terminal, and retrieving and returning necessary data from the database. The terminal acts as an interface with the user, sending input from the user to the server and displaying information received from the server to the user. The database stores and manages necessary data such as user authentication information, product information, purchase history, and SDG-related information.

[0176] User: To log in to the system, the user opens an application or web page on their device and enters their username and password, which starts the authentication process.

[0177] Terminal: Sends the entered authentication information to the server.

[0178] Server: Compares the received authentication information with a database and authenticates the user. Once authenticated, a dashboard containing the user's past SDG setting information is sent to the device.

[0179] For example, when a user logs in to the smartphone app "EcoShop," a login screen appears. After entering their username and password and clicking the authentication button, the authentication information is sent to the server. The server compares the information with the database and returns the authentication results to the device. If authentication is successful, the user's past SDG setting information is displayed.

[0180] SDGs setting

[0181] User: After authentication, access the SDGs setting page and set priorities from multiple Sustainable Development Goals.

[0182] Terminal: Sends the SDGs goals selected and set by the user to the server.

[0183] Server: Saves the set priority information in the database.

[0184] For example, if a user sets "Take concrete action against climate change" as their top priority, that information is sent to the server and stored in a database.

[0185] Product Search and Scoring

[0186] User: Enter keywords into the search bar, for example, "eco-friendly detergent."

[0187] Device: Sends a search query to the server.

[0188] Server: Refers to the database and retrieves relevant product information, including information about the product's sustainability.

[0189] Server: Based on the acquired product information, the server scores each product's contribution to the SDGs, taking into account the SDG priorities set by the user. For example, it takes into account the recycling rate of materials and the environmental impact of the manufacturing process.

[0190] Server: Sends detailed product information along with the calculated score to the device.

[0191] Device: Displays a list of search results and visually shows the user the SDG score for each product.

[0192] Check product details and purchase

[0193] User: Select a product from the search results list and view more information on the detail page.

[0194] Device: Displays detailed product information and visually shows how the product contributes to each SDG goal.

[0195] User: Once satisfied, they add the item to their cart and confirm their purchase.

[0196] Device: Sends purchase information to the server.

[0197] Server: Processes the purchase information and confirms the order. Once processing is complete, updates the SDG contribution information based on the purchase details.

[0198] Tracking SDG contributions

[0199] User: After purchase, access your personal page or dashboard to check your social contribution level.

[0200] Terminal: Sends user requests to the server.

[0201] Server: Calculates the overall SDG contribution based on the user's past purchase history and retrieves related data from the database.

[0202] Server: Sends data including the calculated SDG contribution to the device.

[0203] Device: Visually displays the user's SDG contribution level, specifically showing how much the user is contributing to society. For example, the SDG contribution score the user has earned so far is displayed in graphs and numbers.

[0204] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0205] "If you want to search for products based on sustainability, your prompt would be: 'Search for eco-friendly detergents.'"

[0206] "Prompt for prioritizing the SDGs: 'Make concrete action on climate change your number one priority.'"

[0207] "If you want to track your contribution to the SDGs after your purchase, here's the prompt: 'I want to check my contributions to society so far.'"

[0208] The above is a specific implementation of this system. The user, server, and terminal work together to support purchasing behavior aimed at realizing a sustainable society. This system allows consumers to select the most suitable product, taking into account not only economic value but also social value.

[0209] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0210] Processing Steps

[0211] Step 1:

[0212] A user opens an application or web page on a terminal and enters a username and password. The input data is user authentication information (username and password).

[0213] The terminal receives user input information and sends it to the server. The input data is the username and password, and the output data is an authentication request to the server.

[0214] The server compares the received authentication information with the database and authenticates the user. The input data is the user authentication information, and the output data is the authentication result.

[0215] The server sends the user's past SDG setting information to the terminal along with the authentication result. The input data is the past SDG setting information, and the output data is data for displaying on the dashboard.

[0216] The terminal displays the authentication result to the user and displays the dashboard. The input data is the dashboard data from the server, and the output is the user screen display.

[0217] Step 2:

[0218] The user accesses the SDG setting page and sets priorities from multiple Sustainable Development Goals. The input data is the user-selected SDG goals and priority information.

[0219] The terminal sends the SDGs selected and set by the user to the server. The input data is the user-selected SDGs and priority information, and the output data is a setting request to the server.

[0220] The server saves the set priority information in a database. The input data is the priority information, and the output data is the database update result.

[0221] The server notifies the terminal that the settings have been completed. The input data is the setting completion notification, and the output data is the notification data sent to the terminal.

[0222] The terminal displays a screen informing the user that the settings have been completed. The input data is the notification data from the server, and the output is the user screen display.

[0223] Step 3:

[0224] A user enters keywords into the search bar, for example, "eco-friendly detergent." The input data is the search query (keywords).

[0225] The terminal sends a search query to the server. The input data is the search query, and the output data is a search request to the server.

[0226] The server references the database and retrieves relevant product information, including information about the product's sustainability. The input data is the search query, and the output data is the product information.

[0227] Based on the product information acquired by the server, the server scores each product's contribution to the SDGs, taking into account the SDG priorities set by the user. The input data is the product information and SDG priorities, and the output data is the calculated score.

[0228] The server sends the calculated score and detailed product information to the terminal. The input data is the calculated score and detailed product information, and the output data is the detailed information sent to the terminal.

[0229] The terminal displays a list of search results and visually indicates the SDG score of each product to the user. The input data is detailed information from the server, and the output is the user screen display.

[0230] Step 4:

[0231] The user selects a product from the search results list and checks the details page for more information. The input data is the user's selection.

[0232] The terminal displays detailed product information and visually shows how the product contributes to each SDG. The input data is detailed information from the server, and the output is displayed on the user's screen.

[0233] Once the user is fully satisfied, they add the product to their cart and decide to purchase it. The input data is the user's purchase decision information.

[0234] The terminal sends purchase information to the server. The input data is the purchase decision information, and the output data is a purchase request to the server.

[0235] The server processes the purchase information and confirms the order. Once processing is complete, the SDG contribution information is updated based on the purchase details. The input data is the purchase information, and the output data is order confirmation and the updated contribution information.

[0236] Step 5:

[0237] After purchasing, the user accesses My Page or Dashboard to check their social contribution. The input data is a request to access My Page.

[0238] The terminal sends the user's request to the server, where the input data is the user's access request and the output data is the data request to the server.

[0239] The server calculates the overall SDG contribution based on the user's past purchase history and retrieves related data from the database. The input data is purchase history data, and the output data is the calculated contribution information.

[0240] The server sends data including the calculated SDG contribution to the terminal. The input data is the contribution information, and the output data is the data sent to the terminal.

[0241] The device visually displays the SDGs contribution level, specifically showing how much the user is contributing to society. The input data is contribution level data from the server, and the output is displayed on the user's screen.

[0242] This is the specific flow of the program processing for this system. The user, server, and device work together to support purchasing behavior that contributes to the realization of a sustainable society.

[0250] The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are guidelines for realizing a sustainable society, consisting of 17 goals formulated by the United Nations to be achieved by 2030.

[0251] The "means to support setting" is a function that assists users in selecting multiple sustainable development goals and setting their priorities.

[0252] A "search query" is a keyword or phrase that a user enters when searching for a product.

[0253] "Product information" refers to a detailed product description, price, ratings, sustainability data, etc.

[0254] The "means for calculating the score" is a function for quantifying a product's contribution to the sustainable development goals set by the user based on information about the product's sustainability.

[0255] The "means for providing detailed information" is a function for visually showing the user a detailed description of the product, including the calculated score.

[0256] "Purchase history" is a record of the products a user has purchased in the past, the quantity, and the date and time of purchase.

[0257] The "means for calculating and displaying contribution" is a function for calculating the contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals based on the user's purchase history and visually displaying the results.

[0258] "Total Sustainable Development Goals Contribution" means the cumulative contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals calculated based on all of a user's past purchases.

[0259] "Means to display on my page" is a function to visually show the overall Sustainable Development Goals contribution and other related information on the user's personal page.

[0260] This invention is a system that helps users select the most suitable products when purchasing products by evaluating them based not only on price but also on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).The system has functions for user authentication, SDG setting, product search and scoring, product detail confirmation and purchase, and tracking of SDG contributions.

[0583] (Application example 2)

[0584] 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."

[0585] Conventional online shopping systems allow users to compare prices and quality when selecting products, but they have difficulty comparing products that take into account their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).In addition, they do not suggest products that take into account the user's emotional state, so an improvement in the user experience is desired.

[0586] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: means for receiving user authentication information from a user; means for authenticating the user based on a database; means for supporting the authenticated user in setting multiple Sustainable Development Goals; means for receiving a search query based on keywords from the user; means for retrieving information on products that match the search query from a database; means for calculating a score related to the Sustainable Development Goals set by the user based on the product information; means including an emotion engine for analyzing the user's emotional state and reflecting the calculated score in product suggestions; means for providing the user with detailed product information including the calculated score and emotion data; and means for calculating and displaying the user's contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals based on the user's purchase history. This enables the user to compare and evaluate products from the perspective of the SDGs and receive optimal product suggestions based on their emotional state.

[0587] "User authentication information" is information entered to identify a user and grant access to a system.

[0588] A "database" is a system that systematically stores and manages user information, product information, SDGs information, etc.

[0589] The Sustainable Development Goals are 17 goals advocated by the United Nations and based on three pillars: environmental protection, social equity, and economic development.

[0590] A "search query" is a keyword or phrase that a user enters to search for a specific product or information.

[0591] "Product information" is detailed data about a product, such as product name, description, price, ratings, and availability.

[0592] The "score" is an evaluation index that quantifies the product's contribution to the sustainable development goals set by the user.

[0593] The "emotion engine" is a system that analyzes the user's emotional state and uses the results to help suggest products.

[0594] "Emotion data" is data that represents the user's current emotional state as analyzed by the emotion engine.

[0595] "Purchase history" is a record of products that a user has purchased in the past.

[0596] "Contribution" is a number that indicates how much the product a user purchases contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals.

[0597] This invention is a system that helps users select the most suitable product when purchasing by comparing and evaluating products not only based on price but also on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) etc. Furthermore, by combining this system with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, it optimizes product suggestions based on the user's emotional state, improving the user experience.

[0786] These are the specific processing steps of the system, which enable users to make purchases based on the Sustainable Development Goals and enjoy a socially conscious shopping experience.

[0787] Example 1

[0788] 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."

[0789] Conventional e-commerce systems make it difficult for users to consider the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) when selecting products. Furthermore, there are limited ways for users to find out how much their purchasing behavior contributes to the SDGs after purchase. This makes it difficult for consumers to understand the impact on the environment and society, making it difficult to make conscious purchasing decisions. Furthermore, there are not enough systems that allow users to evaluate products based on their own SDG priorities.

[0790] 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.

[0791] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving user authentication information from a user, means for authenticating the user based on a database, means for supporting the authenticated user in setting multiple sustainable development goals, means for retrieving information on products that match a search query from the database, means for calculating a score related to the sustainable development goals set by the user based on the product information, means for providing the user with detailed information on the products including the calculated score, and means for calculating and displaying the user's contribution to the sustainable development goals based on the user's purchase history. This enables users to easily adopt purchasing behavior that takes sustainability into consideration and clearly understand the degree of social contribution after purchase.

[0792] "User authentication information" refers to the identification information provided by a user when logging into a system, and primarily includes a username and password.

[0793] A "database" is a collection of digital data stored and managed within the system, including user authentication information, product information, and the like.

[0794] "Authentication" is the process of verifying that the user is a legitimate user by checking the authentication information entered by the user against a database.

[0795] The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals set by the United Nations aimed at sustainable development, and are a set of specific targets for solving issues such as environmental protection and poverty reduction.

[0796] A "search query" is a keyword or phrase that a user enters to search for information within the system.

[0797] "Product Information" refers to data related to a product, including, for example, name, price, availability, and sustainability data.

[0798] The "score" is a number that indicates how much a product contributes to the sustainable development goals set by the user.

[0799] "User purchase history" is a record of purchases that a user has made in the system in the past, and includes information such as date and time, purchased items, and quantities.

[0800] The "dashboard" is the interface that appears when a user accesses the system, and provides visual information on important data such as past Sustainable Development Goal setting information.

[0801] "Visual confirmation" refers to the use of diagrams, graphs, icons, etc. in product details to show which Sustainable Development Goals a product contributes to and how it contributes to them.

[0802] The "Sustainable Development Goals Score" is an index used to evaluate the extent to which products and actions contribute to the sustainable development goals set by users.

[0803] This invention is a system that helps users select the most suitable product by comparing and evaluating products not only in terms of price but also in terms of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).The system provides consistent support from entering user authentication information to tracking the contribution to the SDGs after purchase.

[0804] Basic system configuration

[0805] The system is mainly composed of three main components: a server, a terminal, and a database, which enable a series of processes such as searching, rating, purchasing, and tracking based on user input information.

[0806] The server is responsible for data processing, receiving and processing information sent from the terminal, and retrieving and returning necessary data from the database. The terminal acts as an interface with the user, sending input from the user to the server and displaying information received from the server to the user. The database stores and manages necessary data such as user authentication information, product information, purchase history, and SDG-related information.

[0807] User Authentication

[0808] User: To log in to the system, the user opens an application or web page on their device and enters their username and password, which starts the authentication process.

[0809] Terminal: Sends the entered authentication information to the server.

[0810] Server: Compares the received authentication information with a database and authenticates the user. Once authenticated, a dashboard containing the user's past SDG setting information is sent to the device.

[0811] For example, when a user logs in to the smartphone app "EcoShop," a login screen appears. After entering their username and password and clicking the authentication button, the authentication information is sent to the server. The server compares the information with the database and returns the authentication results to the device. If authentication is successful, the user's past SDG setting information is displayed.

[0812] SDGs setting

[0813] User: After authentication, access the SDGs setting page and set priorities from multiple Sustainable Development Goals.

[0814] Terminal: Sends the SDGs goals selected and set by the user to the server.

[0815] Server: Saves the set priority information in the database.

[0816] For example, if a user sets "Take concrete action against climate change" as their top priority, that information is sent to the server and stored in a database.

[0817] Product Search and Scoring

[0818] User: Enter keywords into the search bar, for example, "eco-friendly detergent."

[0819] Device: Sends a search query to the server.

[0820] Server: Refers to the database and retrieves relevant product information, including information about the product's sustainability.

[0821] Server: Based on the acquired product information, the server scores each product's contribution to the SDGs, taking into account the SDG priorities set by the user. For example, it takes into account the recycling rate of materials and the environmental impact of the manufacturing process.

[0822] Server: Sends detailed product information along with the calculated score to the device.

[0823] Device: Displays a list of search results and visually shows the user the SDG score for each product.

[0824] Check product details and purchase

[0825] User: Select a product from the search results list and view more information on the detail page.

[0826] Device: Displays detailed product information and visually shows how the product contributes to each SDG goal.

[0827] User: Once satisfied, they add the item to their cart and confirm their purchase.

[0828] Device: Sends purchase information to the server.

[0829] Server: Processes the purchase information and confirms the order. Once processing is complete, updates the SDG contribution information based on the purchase details.

[0830] Tracking SDG contributions

[0831] User: After purchase, access your personal page or dashboard to check your social contribution level.

[0832] Terminal: Sends user requests to the server.

[0833] Server: Calculates the overall SDG contribution based on the user's past purchase history and retrieves related data from the database.

[0834] Server: Sends data including the calculated SDG contribution to the device.

[0835] Device: Visually displays the user's SDG contribution level, specifically showing how much the user is contributing to society. For example, the SDG contribution score the user has earned so far is displayed in graphs and numbers.

[0836] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0837] "If you want to search for products based on sustainability, your prompt would be: 'Search for eco-friendly detergents.'"

[0838] "Prompt for prioritizing the SDGs: 'Make concrete action on climate change your number one priority.'"

[0839] "If you want to track your contribution to the SDGs after your purchase, here's the prompt: 'I want to check my contributions to society so far.'"

[0840] The above is a specific implementation of this system. The user, server, and terminal work together to support purchasing behavior aimed at realizing a sustainable society. This system allows consumers to select the most suitable product, taking into account not only economic value but also social value.

[1102] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1103] In conventional e-commerce systems, users only consider price and performance when selecting products, and product recommendations that reflect the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or the user's emotional state are rarely made. This has resulted in users spending a lot of time and effort selecting sustainable products, and the lack of appropriate product suggestions based on the user's current emotional state has led to issues such as a decline in the quality of the purchasing experience.

[1104] 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.

[1105] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving user authentication information from a user, means for authenticating the user based on a database, means for supporting the authenticated user in setting multiple Sustainable Development Goals, means for receiving a search query based on a keyword from the user, means for transmitting the user's emotional data together with the search query to an emotional analysis engine, means for receiving the emotional data analyzed by the emotional analysis engine, means for retrieving information on products that match the search query from the database, means for calculating a score related to the Sustainable Development Goals and emotional state set by the user based on the product information, means for providing the user with detailed information on the products including the calculated score, and means for calculating and displaying the user's contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals based on the user's purchase history, thereby enabling the user to efficiently select appropriate products that take into account their emotional state and the Sustainable Development Goals.

[1106] "User authentication information" refers to information for identifying a user and verifying access rights.

[1107] A "database" is a system that systematically organizes and stores information and allows it to be searched and retrieved as needed.

[1108] "Emotion analysis engine" refers to a software component for analyzing a user's emotional state.

[1109] A "search query" refers to a keyword or phrase that a user enters to search for specific information.

[1110] The Sustainable Development Goals are a set of international goals aimed at achieving sustainable human development.

[1111] "Scoring" refers to the process of assigning evaluation points based on certain factors.

[1112] "Purchase history" refers to a record of purchases made by a user in the past.

[1113] "Contribution" refers to the degree of achievement or impact on a specific goal or standard.

[1114] "Visually displaying" refers to presenting information in a form that can be visually understood by a user.

[1115] "Detailed information" refers to specific, detailed data or explanations about a particular item.

[1116] This invention is a system that helps users select the most suitable product when purchasing a product, taking into consideration the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their emotional state.

[1217] Conventional online shopping systems allow users to compare prices and quality when selecting products, but they have difficulty comparing products that take into account their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).In addition, they do not suggest products that take into account the user's emotional state, so an improvement in the user experience is desired.

[1218] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: means for receiving user authentication information from a user; means for authenticating the user based on a database; means for supporting the authenticated user in setting multiple Sustainable Development Goals; means for receiving a search query based on keywords from the user; means for retrieving information on products that match the search query from a database; means for calculating a score related to the Sustainable Development Goals set by the user based on the product information; means including an emotion engine for analyzing the user's emotional state and reflecting the calculated score in product suggestions; means for providing the user with detailed product information including the calculated score and emotion data; and means for calculating and displaying the user's contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals based on the user's purchase history. This enables the user to compare and evaluate products from the perspective of the SDGs and receive optimal product suggestions based on their emotional state.

[1219] "User authentication information" is information entered to identify a user and grant access to a system.

[1220] A "database" is a system that systematically stores and manages user information, product information, SDGs information, etc.

[1221] The Sustainable Development Goals are 17 goals advocated by the United Nations and based on three pillars: environmental protection, social equity, and economic development.

[1222] A "search query" is a keyword or phrase that a user enters to search for a specific product or information.

[1223] "Product information" is detailed data about a product, such as product name, description, price, ratings, and availability.

[1224] The "score" is an evaluation index that quantifies the product's contribution to the sustainable development goals set by the user.

[1225] The "emotion engine" is a system that analyzes the user's emotional state and uses the results to help suggest products.

[1226] "Emotion data" is data that represents the user's current emotional state as analyzed by the emotion engine.

[1227] "Purchase history" is a record of products that a user has purchased in the past.

[1228] "Contribution" is a number that indicates how much the product a user purchases contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals.

[1229] This invention is a system that helps users select the most suitable product when purchasing by comparing and evaluating products not only based on price but also on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) etc. Furthermore, by combining this system with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, it optimizes product suggestions based on the user's emotional state, improving the user experience.

[1419] Example 1

[1420] 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."

[1421] Conventional e-commerce systems make it difficult for users to consider the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) when selecting products. Furthermore, there are limited ways for users to find out how much their purchasing behavior contributes to the SDGs after purchase. This makes it difficult for consumers to understand the impact on the environment and society, making it difficult to make conscious purchasing decisions. Furthermore, there are not enough systems that allow users to evaluate products based on their own SDG priorities.

[1422] 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.

[1423] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving user authentication information from a user, means for authenticating the user based on a database, means for supporting the authenticated user in setting multiple sustainable development goals, means for retrieving information on products that match a search query from the database, means for calculating a score related to the sustainable development goals set by the user based on the product information, means for providing the user with detailed information on the products including the calculated score, and means for calculating and displaying the user's contribution to the sustainable development goals based on the user's purchase history. This enables users to easily adopt purchasing behavior that takes sustainability into consideration and clearly understand the degree of social contribution after purchase.

[1424] "User authentication information" refers to the identification information provided by a user when logging into a system, and primarily includes a username and password.

[1425] A "database" is a collection of digital data stored and managed within the system, including user authentication information, product information, and the like.

[1426] "Authentication" is the process of verifying that the user is a legitimate user by checking the authentication information entered by the user against a database.

[1427] The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals set by the United Nations aimed at sustainable development, and are a set of specific targets for solving issues such as environmental protection and poverty reduction.

[1428] A "search query" is a keyword or phrase that a user enters to search for information within the system.

[1429] "Product Information" refers to data related to a product, including, for example, name, price, availability, and sustainability data.

[1430] The "score" is a number that indicates how much a product contributes to the sustainable development goals set by the user.

[1431] "User purchase history" is a record of purchases that a user has made in the system in the past, and includes information such as date and time, purchased items, and quantities.

[1432] The "dashboard" is the interface that appears when a user accesses the system, and provides visual information on important data such as past Sustainable Development Goal setting information.

[1433] "Visual confirmation" refers to the use of diagrams, graphs, icons, etc. in product details to show which Sustainable Development Goals a product contributes to and how it contributes to them.

[1434] The "Sustainable Development Goals Score" is an index used to evaluate the extent to which products and actions contribute to the sustainable development goals set by users.

[1435] This invention is a system that helps users select the most suitable product by comparing and evaluating products not only in terms of price but also in terms of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).The system provides consistent support from entering user authentication information to tracking the contribution to the SDGs after purchase.

[1734] 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."

[1735] In conventional e-commerce systems, users only consider price and performance when selecting products, and product recommendations that reflect the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or the user's emotional state are rarely made. This has resulted in users spending a lot of time and effort selecting sustainable products, and the lack of appropriate product suggestions based on the user's current emotional state has led to issues such as a decline in the quality of the purchasing experience.

[1736] 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.

[1737] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving user authentication information from a user, means for authenticating the user based on a database, means for supporting the authenticated user in setting multiple Sustainable Development Goals, means for receiving a search query based on a keyword from the user, means for transmitting the user's emotional data together with the search query to an emotional analysis engine, means for receiving the emotional data analyzed by the emotional analysis engine, means for retrieving information on products that match the search query from the database, means for calculating a score related to the Sustainable Development Goals and emotional state set by the user based on the product information, means for providing the user with detailed information on the products including the calculated score, and means for calculating and displaying the user's contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals based on the user's purchase history, thereby enabling the user to efficiently select appropriate products that take into account their emotional state and the Sustainable Development Goals.

[1738] "User authentication information" refers to information for identifying a user and verifying access rights.

[1739] A "database" is a system that systematically organizes and stores information and allows it to be searched and retrieved as needed.

[1740] "Emotion analysis engine" refers to a software component for analyzing a user's emotional state.

[1741] A "search query" refers to a keyword or phrase that a user enters to search for specific information.

[1742] The Sustainable Development Goals are a set of international goals aimed at achieving sustainable human development.

[1743] "Scoring" refers to the process of assigning evaluation points based on certain factors.

[1744] "Purchase history" refers to a record of purchases made by a user in the past.

[1745] "Contribution" refers to the degree of achievement or impact on a specific goal or standard.

[1746] "Visually displaying" refers to presenting information in a form that can be visually understood by a user.

[1747] "Detailed information" refers to specific, detailed data or explanations about a particular item.

[1748] This invention is a system that helps users select the most suitable product when purchasing a product, taking into consideration the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their emotional state.

[1848] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1849] Conventional online shopping systems allow users to compare prices and quality when selecting products, but they have difficulty comparing products that take into account their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).In addition, they do not suggest products that take into account the user's emotional state, so an improvement in the user experience is desired.

[1850] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes: means for receiving user authentication information from a user; means for authenticating the user based on a database; means for supporting the authenticated user in setting multiple Sustainable Development Goals; means for receiving a search query based on keywords from the user; means for retrieving information on products that match the search query from a database; means for calculating a score related to the Sustainable Development Goals set by the user based on the product information; means including an emotion engine for analyzing the user's emotional state and reflecting the calculated score in product suggestions; means for providing the user with detailed product information including the calculated score and emotion data; and means for calculating and displaying the user's contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals based on the user's purchase history. This enables the user to compare and evaluate products from the perspective of the SDGs and receive optimal product suggestions based on their emotional state.

[1851] "User authentication information" is information entered to identify a user and grant access to a system.

[1852] A "database" is a system that systematically stores and manages user information, product information, SDGs information, etc.

[1853] The Sustainable Development Goals are 17 goals advocated by the United Nations and based on three pillars: environmental protection, social equity, and economic development.

[1854] A "search query" is a keyword or phrase that a user enters to search for a specific product or information.

[1855] "Product information" is detailed data about a product, such as product name, description, price, ratings, and availability.

[1856] The "score" is an evaluation index that quantifies the product's contribution to the sustainable development goals set by the user.

[1857] The "emotion engine" is a system that analyzes the user's emotional state and uses the results to help suggest products.

[1858] "Emotion data" is data that represents the user's current emotional state as analyzed by the emotion engine.

[1859] "Purchase history" is a record of products that a user has purchased in the past.

[1860] "Contribution" is a number that indicates how much the product a user purchases contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals.

[1861] This invention is a system that helps users select the most suitable product when purchasing by comparing and evaluating products not only based on price but also on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) etc. Furthermore, by combining this system with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, it optimizes product suggestions based on the user's emotional state, improving the user experience.

[1862] Basic system configuration

[1863] The system is mainly composed of four main components: a server, a terminal, a database, and an emotion engine. It is designed to search, evaluate, purchase, and track based on user input, as well as provide suggestions according to the user's emotional state.

[1864] Specific embodiments of the function

[1865] 1. User authentication and SDGs settings

[1866] The server receives the username and password entered by the user on the device to log in to the system and authenticates the user by checking it against the database. If authentication is successful, the server retrieves past SDG setting information and sends it to the device for display. The user can then set the priorities of the Sustainable Development Goals on the device. This setting information is then saved in the database by the server.

[1867] 2. Combining product search and sentiment engines

[1868] The device accepts search keywords entered by the user. The server receives the emotion data analyzed by the emotion engine and retrieves it along with search results for product information. The server scores each product's contribution to the SDGs, taking into account the user's SDG priorities and emotional state, and sends the results to the device. The device displays a list of search results as suggestions based on the calculated scores and emotions.

[1869] 3. Check product details and purchase

[1870] When a user selects a product of interest and displays its details page, the device visually displays detailed product information along with how the product contributes to each SDG. The user adds the product to their cart and proceeds with the purchase. The device then sends the purchase information to the server, which then confirms the order and records it in a database.

[1871] 4. Tracking SDG contributions and sentiment data

[1872] After purchasing, users can access their personal page or dashboard to check their SDG contribution and emotional data. The server calculates the user's overall SDG contribution based on their purchase history and emotional data, and sends the information to the device. The device then visually displays the user's contribution and emotional state, specifically showing the social contributions the user has made.

[1873] Specific examples

[1874] For example, if a user searches for "eco-friendly detergent," the system will analyze the user's emotional state using its emotion engine, and if it detects stress, it will prioritize displaying eco-friendly detergents with pleasant fragrances. In this way, suggestions are made that take the user's emotions into consideration, improving user satisfaction.

[1875] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1876] "Search for eco-friendly detergents, analyze the user's emotional state, and if the user is stressed, prioritize products with a relaxing effect."

[2052] Example 1

[2053] 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."

[2054] Conventional e-commerce systems make it difficult for users to consider the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) when selecting products. Furthermore, there are limited ways for users to find out how much their purchasing behavior contributes to the SDGs after purchase. This makes it difficult for consumers to understand the impact on the environment and society, making it difficult to make conscious purchasing decisions. Furthermore, there are not enough systems that allow users to evaluate products based on their own SDG priorities.

[2055] 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.

[2056] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving user authentication information from a user, means for authenticating the user based on a database, means for supporting the authenticated user in setting multiple sustainable development goals, means for retrieving information on products that match a search query from the database, means for calculating a score related to the sustainable development goals set by the user based on the product information, means for providing the user with detailed information on the products including the calculated score, and means for calculating and displaying the user's contribution to the sustainable development goals based on the user's purchase history. This enables users to easily adopt purchasing behavior that takes sustainability into consideration and clearly understand the degree of social contribution after purchase.

[2057] "User authentication information" refers to the identification information provided by a user when logging into a system, and primarily includes a username and password.

[2058] A "database" is a collection of digital data stored and managed within the system, including user authentication information, product information, and the like.

[2059] "Authentication" is the process of verifying that the user is a legitimate user by checking the authentication information entered by the user against a database.

[2060] The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals set by the United Nations aimed at sustainable development, and are a set of specific targets for solving issues such as environmental protection and poverty reduction.

[2061] A "search query" is a keyword or phrase that a user enters to search for information within the system.

[2062] "Product Information" refers to data related to a product, including, for example, name, price, availability, and sustainability data.

[2063] The "score" is a number that indicates how much a product contributes to the sustainable development goals set by the user.

[2064] "User purchase history" is a record of purchases that a user has made in the system in the past, and includes information such as date and time, purchased items, and quantities.

[2065] The "dashboard" is the interface that appears when a user accesses the system, and provides visual information on important data such as past Sustainable Development Goal setting information.

[2066] "Visual confirmation" refers to the use of diagrams, graphs, icons, etc. in product details to show which Sustainable Development Goals a product contributes to and how it contributes to them.

[2067] The "Sustainable Development Goals Score" is an index used to evaluate the extent to which products and actions contribute to the sustainable development goals set by users.

[2068] This invention is a system that helps users select the most suitable product by comparing and evaluating products not only in terms of price but also in terms of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).The system provides consistent support from entering user authentication information to tracking the contribution to the SDGs after purchase.

[2129] The terminal displays detailed product information and visually shows how the product contributes to each SDG. The input data is detailed information from the server, and the output is displayed on the user's screen.

[2130] Once the user is fully satisfied, they add the product to their cart and decide to purchase it. The input data is the user's purchase decision information.

[2131] The terminal sends purchase information to the server. The input data is the purchase decision information, and the output data is a purchase request to the server.

[2132] The server processes the purchase information and confirms the order. Once processing is complete, the SDG contribution information is updated based on the purchase details. The input data is the purchase information, and the output data is order confirmation and the updated contribution information.

[2133] Step 5:

[2134] After purchasing, the user accesses My Page or Dashboard to check their social contribution. The input data is a request to access My Page.

[2135] The terminal sends the user's request to the server, where the input data is the user's access request and the output data is the data request to the server.

[2136] The server calculates the overall SDG contribution based on the user's past purchase history and retrieves related data from the database. The input data is purchase history data, and the output data is the calculated contribution information.

[2137] The server sends data including the calculated SDG contribution to the terminal. The input data is the contribution information, and the output data is the data sent to the terminal.

[2138] The device visually displays the SDGs contribution level, specifically showing how much the user is contributing to society. The input data is contribution level data from the server, and the output is displayed on the user's screen.

[2139] This is the specific flow of the program processing for this system. The user, server, and device work together to support purchasing behavior that contributes to the realization of a sustainable society.

[2140] (Application example 1)

[2141] 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."

[2142] In conventional online shopping systems, users often only considered price and reviews when selecting products, and evaluation based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was rarely performed. As a result, users had difficulty understanding how their consumption behavior contributed to a sustainable society. In addition, there was a lack of a way to visually display the degree of contribution to the SDGs, making it difficult to select products.

[2143] 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.

[2144] In this invention, the server includes: means for receiving user authentication information from a user; means for authenticating the user based on a database; means for supporting the authenticated user in setting multiple sustainable development goals; means for receiving a search query based on a keyword from the user; means for retrieving information on products that match the search query from the database; means for calculating a score related to the sustainable development goals set by the user based on the product information; means for providing the user with detailed information on the products including the calculated score; means for calculating and displaying the user's contribution to the sustainable development goals based on the user's purchase history; and means for displaying the user's overall contribution to the sustainable development goals on their personal page based on the user's past purchase history. This enables users to select products based not only on price and reviews but also on a comprehensive evaluation including the product's sustainability, enabling them to intuitively understand how their consumption behavior contributes to a sustainable society.

[2145] "User authentication information" refers to authentication information provided by a user when logging in to a system, and is composed of a user name, password, and the like.

[2146] A "database" is a system for systematically organizing, storing, and managing information, and stores user information, product information, and the like.

[2147] The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are guidelines for realizing a sustainable society, consisting of 17 goals formulated by the United Nations to be achieved by 2030.

[2148] The "means to support setting" is a function that assists users in selecting multiple sustainable development goals and setting their priorities.

[2149] A "search query" is a keyword or phrase that a user enters when searching for a product.

[2150] "Product information" refers to a detailed product description, price, ratings, sustainability data, etc.

[2151] The "means for calculating the score" is a function for quantifying a product's contribution to the sustainable development goals set by the user based on information about the product's sustainability.

[2152] The "means for providing detailed information" is a function for visually showing the user a detailed description of the product, including the calculated score.

[2153] "Purchase history" is a record of the products a user has purchased in the past, the quantity, and the date and time of purchase.

[2154] The "means for calculating and displaying contribution" is a function for calculating the contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals based on the user's purchase history and visually displaying the results.

[2155] "Total Sustainable Development Goals Contribution" means the cumulative contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals calculated based on all of a user's past purchases.

[2156] "Means to display on my page" is a function to visually show the overall Sustainable Development Goals contribution and other related information on the user's personal page.

[2157] This invention is a system that helps users select the most suitable products when purchasing products by evaluating them based not only on price but also on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).The system has functions for user authentication, SDG setting, product search and scoring, product detail confirmation and purchase, and tracking of SDG contributions.
