[0213] What we want to do: Joint marketing campaigns
[0214] Business situation: Annual sales of 100 million yen, number of employees: 50
[0215] Market size: Products mainly targeted at women in their 30s, nationwide
[0216] 2. Analyzing the information and generating recommendations
[0217] The server receives the information and uses ChatGPT to generate a prompt like this:
[0218] Given the following business information:
[0219] Project: Joint Marketing Campaign
[0220] Revenue: 100 million yen
[0221] Employees: 50
[0222] Market: Mainly targeting women in their 30s, national expansion
[0223] Find the best partnership opportunities.
[0224] Based on the analysis results, the following proposed results are generated.
[0225] Partner candidate 1: Beauty product manufacturer (rating score: 85)
[0226] Partner candidate 2: Fitness gym (rating score: 80)
[0227] Partner candidate 3: Organic food store (rating score: 78)
[0228] 3. Displaying and selecting results
[0229] The user receives the proposal results and views the list of candidates displayed on the screen. The user can compare the detailed information and select the most suitable partner.
[0230] Hardware and Software
[0231] Hardware: Server (using Heroku or AWS (registered trademark) as cloud services)
[0232] Software: Flask (Python framework), SQLite (database), OpenAI (registered trademark) API (generative AI model ChatGPT)
[0233] This allows companies and businesses to efficiently find partners that best suit their needs, maximizing business opportunities. It also effectively incorporates user feedback to improve the accuracy of the system's proposals.
[0234] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0235] Step 1:
[0236] Users launch the smartphone app and enter their company information into the application's input form. This information includes the desired implementation, business situation, market size, etc. This information is then sent to the server.
[0237] Step 2:
[0238] The device sends the company information entered by the user to the server, which temporarily stores the received data in a database (SQLite). During this process, it is confirmed that the input data reaches the server in the correct format.
[0239] Step 3:
[0240] The server calls the generative AI model ChatGPT to analyze the stored data. At this time, it generates and sends a prompt to the analysis engine. This prompt is generated based on the information entered by the user. For example, it might be in the format "Given the following business information: ..."
[0241] Step 4:
[0242] The generative AI model, ChatGPT, generates optimal collaboration proposals based on the prompt text. The server receives these proposals as structured data, such as JSON, and temporarily stores them. These proposals include the name, industry, and evaluation score of each potential collaborator.
[0243] Step 5:
[0244] The server sends the generated proposal results to the user's smartphone. The user can view the received proposal results within the app. The results display screen includes multiple potential partners and their respective details.
[0245] Step 6:
[0246] The user compares the proposals and selects the most suitable partner. During this selection process, the user checks the detailed information of each partner and uses their evaluation score as a reference. The selection results can be sent to the server as feedback.
[0247] Step 7:
[0248] The server receives and stores feedback from users. Analysis of this feedback data can help improve the accuracy of future suggestions. The analysis results are used to improve the system.
[0249] In this way, a system is created in which users can input their company information and efficiently find the best partners. By using generative AI models and prompts, highly accurate suggestions can be made, allowing users to maximize business opportunities.
[0250] 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.
[0251] This invention relates to a system in which a company or business inputs its own company information and, based on that information, proposes optimal partners. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and has the function of optimizing proposal content based on the user's emotions. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[0252] System Configuration
[0253] User Interface and Emotion Engine
[0254] 1. Input form

[0287] The user receives the proposal results and views the list of candidates displayed on the screen. The user compares the detailed information and selects beauty product manufacturer B as the most suitable partner. If necessary, the user can also provide feedback.
[0288] This system allows companies and businesses to efficiently find partners that best suit their needs. Furthermore, the introduction of an emotion engine optimizes proposals based on the user's emotions, enabling more effective collaboration.
[0289] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0290] Step 1:
[0291] The user accesses the input form and enters their company information. Here, the user enters specific details such as the business situation, market size, etc., and clicks the submit button.
[0292] Step 2:
[0293] The device sends the user's input information in JSON format to the server, using the HTTPS protocol to ensure secure data transfer.
[0294] Step 3:
[0295] The server receives the information sent by the user and temporarily stores it in a database. It then performs a consistency check on the stored data to ensure there are no omissions or errors.
[0296] Step 4:
[0297] Simultaneously with the input process, the device's built-in emotion engine works to recognize the user's emotions in real time, based on facial expression analysis using a camera and analysis of input speed and patterns.
[0298] Step 5:
[0299] The emotion engine sends the user's emotion data to the server, where it is used for analysis along with company information.
[0300] Step 6:
[0301] The server launches the analysis engine and passes the saved user company information and emotion data. The analysis engine uses the generative AI model ChatGPT. Based on the received information, the analysis engine selects the optimal partner.
[0302] Step 7:
[0303] ChatGPT returns the analysis results to the server, which include multiple potential partners, their evaluation scores, and the proposed solutions.
[0304] Step 8:
[0305] The emotion engine reflects the user's emotional data based on the analysis results and adjusts the suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestions will be simplified, and if the user is excited, the suggestions will be more detailed.
[0306] Step 9:
[0307] The server sends the final proposal results to the user's device, which then displays the received results on the user's screen. The display includes a list of potential partners and their detailed information (company name, industry, and evaluation score).
[0308] Step 10:
[0309] The user browses the list of presented partners and selects the most suitable company. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins specific collaboration negotiations. The user can also provide feedback on the proposal results, which will be used for the next analysis.
[0310] By introducing this system, companies and businesses will be able to find the most suitable partners more efficiently and in line with the user's feelings, building win-win business relationships.
[0311] Example 2
[0312] 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."
[0313] The process for companies and businesses to find partners that meet their needs is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient with conventional methods. Furthermore, suggestions made without considering the user's emotional state are unlikely to be optimal. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can efficiently suggest optimal partners based on the user's input and emotional state.
[0314] 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.
[0315] In this invention, the server includes means for a company or business to input its company information, means for transmitting the input company information to the server, means for saving the received company information, means for starting an analysis engine, means for selecting an optimal partner based on the information received by the analysis engine, means for recognizing the user's emotions during input in real time, means for adjusting the content of proposals based on the emotion recognition results, and means for presenting the selected partner information to the user. This makes it possible to efficiently propose optimal partners that take into account the user's needs and emotional state.
[0316] "Company or establishment" means a legal entity or organization that conducts commercial activities or business.
[0317] "Company information" refers to data and information about a company or business, including, for example, what the company wants to do, its business situation, and the size of its market.
[0318] "Input means" refers to the interface that allows users to input their company information into the system.
[0319] "Transmission means" is a function for transmitting the entered company information from the user's terminal to the server.
[0320] "Means for storing" refers to the method of storing the received company information in a database or other storage device.

[0322] "Real-time recognition means" refers to the ability to instantly detect and analyze the user's emotional state while they are typing.
[0323] "Emotion recognition result" is data obtained as a result of analyzing the user's emotional state.
[0324] The "means for adjusting the content of the proposal" is a function for changing and optimizing the content of the proposal based on the emotion recognition results.
[0325] The "presentation means" is a method for displaying information about the ultimately selected collaborator on the user's terminal.
[0326] User Interface and Emotion Engine
[0327] The system provides a web form for users to enter information about their company. In this form, users can enter information such as the business operations they wish to carry out, their business situation, and market size. The system also incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes emotions in real time while users are typing. Emotion recognition is performed by analyzing the user's facial expressions using a camera, as well as by analyzing the typing speed and patterns.
[0328] Server and Analysis Engine
[0329] Once the company information is entered, the device sends this information in JSON format to the server. The server stores the received information in a database. The received information is analyzed using a generative AI model (e.g., ChatGPT) as an analytical engine. The analytical engine then selects the most suitable partner from the database and generates a proposal based on that.
[0330] Reflecting emotions and adjusting proposals
[0331] The emotion engine adjusts the suggestions based on the analysis engine's suggestions and reflects the user's emotional data. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestion content will be simplified, but if the user is excited, the suggestion will be more detailed.
[0332] Information presentation and selection
[0333] The server sends the final proposal results to the user's device. The device then displays the received proposal results on the user's screen. The displayed content includes a list of potential partners and detailed information about each (company name, industry, and evaluation score). The user compares the presented candidates and selects the most suitable company. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins collaboration negotiations. In addition, the user can provide feedback on the proposal results to the system, which will be used for the next analysis.

[0401] The present invention relates to a system that recognizes user emotions in real time and optimizes proposals when a company or business is looking for a partner. Specific embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described below.
[0402] System Configuration
[0403] User Interface and Emotion Engine
[0404] 1. Input form
[0405] The terminal provides an interface for users to input information about their company, such as the type of business they wish to implement (e.g., joint marketing), their business situation (e.g., sales, number of employees), and market size (e.g., customer demographics, area of operation).
[0406] 2. Emotion Engine
[0407] The device works in conjunction with the input form and recognizes the user's emotions in real time based on the camera and input speed. Specifically, it uses OpenCV to analyze facial expressions and obtain the user's emotions.
[0408] Server and Analysis Engine
[0409] 3. Receipt and storage of information
[0410] The device sends the company information entered in JSON format to the server, which temporarily stores the information in a database. Emotion data is also stored at this stage.
[0411] 4. Analysis of Information
[0412] Based on the information stored on the server, analysis is performed using a generative AI model (such as ChatGPT). The analysis engine selects the most suitable collaborators from the database based on the received information.
[0413] 5. Reflecting emotions
[0414] The server then incorporates emotional data into the results obtained by the analysis engine to optimize the content of suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the server will simplify the suggestions, and if the user is excited, it will provide more detailed suggestions.
[0415] Information presentation and selection
[0416] 6. Displaying the results
[0417] The server sends the optimized proposal results to the user's device. The device displays the received proposal results to the user. The displayed content includes a list of potential partners and their detailed information (company name, industry, evaluation score).
[0418] 7. Selection of partners
[0419] The user selects the most suitable company from the presented list of potential partners. After the selection, specific business negotiations for collaboration begin. The user also uses the feedback function to evaluate the proposal. This feedback will be used for future analysis.
[0420] Specific examples
[0421] For example, consider a user searching for a specific beauty product. The user enters "beauty," "5,000-15,000 yen," and "emotion boost" into the input form. If the emotion engine detects the user's stress, the system will provide concise and intuitive suggestions. The generative AI model (ChatGPT) will provide suggestions such as:
[0422] "The user is interested in beauty products and is considering a price range of 5,000-15,000 yen. The user is feeling a bit stressed and is looking for a product that will lift their spirits. Please suggest products that fit this criteria."
[0423] In this way, the present invention makes it possible to propose the most suitable partner in accordance with the user's feelings.
[0424] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0425] Step 1:
[0426] The user enters company information (e.g., what they want to do, business situation, market size) using an input form on the device. The entered information is converted to JSON format inside the device. At the same time, the emotion engine analyzes the device's camera and input speed to obtain the user's emotion data. The output is the user's company information and emotion data.
[0427] Step 2:
[0428] The device sends the collected company information and emotion data to a server. The server receives this data and temporarily stores it in a database. Specifically, HTTPS is used as the transmission protocol, and the data is stored in a temporary database (e.g., MySQL). The output is company information and emotion data stored on the server.
[0429] Step 3:
[0430] The server passes the saved company information to the analysis engine. The analysis engine (generative AI model ChatGPT) starts up and selects the most suitable partner based on the input information. The input data (company information) is converted into a prompt statement format and sent to ChatGPT. The output is a list of the most suitable candidate partners.
[0431] Step 4:
[0432] The server receives the analysis results and reflects the emotional data in the emotion engine. The suggestion content is optimized based on the emotional data. For example, if the user is stressed, the list is simplified, and if the user is excited, more detailed information is added. The output is an optimized list of potential collaborators.
[0433] Step 5:
[0434] The server sends the optimized list of potential partners to the terminal. The terminal displays the received list to the user. Specifically, the terminal displays the names of the potential partners' companies, their industries, evaluation scores, etc. through a user interface. The output is a list of potential partners that the user can view.
[0435] Step 6:
[0436] The user reviews the displayed list of potential partners and selects the company that best suits them. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins collaboration negotiations. In addition, the user can use the feedback function to evaluate the proposal. The output is feedback on the proposal and the selected partner.
[0437] 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.
[0438] 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 (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.

[0718] Step 7:
[0719] ChatGPT returns the analysis results to the server, which include multiple potential partners, their evaluation scores, and the proposed solutions.
[0720] Step 8:
[0721] The emotion engine reflects the user's emotional data based on the analysis results and adjusts the suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestions will be simplified, and if the user is excited, the suggestions will be more detailed.
[0722] Step 9:
[0723] The server sends the final proposal results to the user's device, which then displays the received results on the user's screen. The display includes a list of potential partners and their detailed information (company name, industry, and evaluation score).
[0724] Step 10:
[0725] The user browses the list of presented partners and selects the most suitable company. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins specific collaboration negotiations. The user can also provide feedback on the proposal results, which will be used for the next analysis.
[0726] By introducing this system, companies and businesses will be able to find the most suitable partners more efficiently and in line with the user's feelings, building win-win business relationships.
[0727] Example 2
[0728] 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."
[0729] The process for companies and businesses to find partners that meet their needs is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient with conventional methods. Furthermore, suggestions made without considering the user's emotional state are unlikely to be optimal. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can efficiently suggest optimal partners based on the user's input and emotional state.
[0730] 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.
[0731] In this invention, the server includes means for a company or business to input its company information, means for transmitting the input company information to the server, means for saving the received company information, means for starting an analysis engine, means for selecting an optimal partner based on the information received by the analysis engine, means for recognizing the user's emotions during input in real time, means for adjusting the content of proposals based on the emotion recognition results, and means for presenting the selected partner information to the user. This makes it possible to efficiently propose optimal partners that take into account the user's needs and emotional state.
[0732] "Company or establishment" means a legal entity or organization that conducts commercial activities or business.
[0733] "Company information" refers to data and information about a company or business, including, for example, what the company wants to do, its business situation, and the size of its market.
[0734] "Input means" refers to the interface that allows users to input their company information into the system.
[0735] "Transmission means" is a function for transmitting the entered company information from the user's terminal to the server.
[0736] "Means for storing" refers to the method of storing the received company information in a database or other storage device.
[0737] An "analysis engine" is a program or algorithm that analyzes the company's received information and selects the most suitable partner based on specified criteria.
[0738] "Real-time recognition means" refers to the ability to instantly detect and analyze the user's emotional state while they are typing.
[0739] "Emotion recognition result" is data obtained as a result of analyzing the user's emotional state.
[0740] The "means for adjusting the content of the proposal" is a function for changing and optimizing the content of the proposal based on the emotion recognition results.
[0741] The "presentation means" is a method for displaying information about the ultimately selected collaborator on the user's terminal.
[0742] User Interface and Emotion Engine
[0743] The system provides a web form for users to enter information about their company. In this form, users can enter information such as the business operations they wish to carry out, their business situation, and market size. The system also incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes emotions in real time while users are typing. Emotion recognition is performed by analyzing the user's facial expressions using a camera, as well as by analyzing the typing speed and patterns.
[0744] Server and Analysis Engine
[0745] Once the company information is entered, the device sends this information in JSON format to the server. The server stores the received information in a database. The received information is analyzed using a generative AI model (e.g., ChatGPT) as an analytical engine. The analytical engine then selects the most suitable partner from the database and generates a proposal based on that.
[0746] Reflecting emotions and adjusting proposals
[0747] The emotion engine adjusts the suggestions based on the analysis engine's suggestions and reflects the user's emotional data. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestion content will be simplified, but if the user is excited, the suggestion will be more detailed.
[0748] Information presentation and selection
[0749] The server sends the final proposal results to the user's device. The device then displays the received proposal results on the user's screen. The displayed content includes a list of potential partners and detailed information about each (company name, industry, and evaluation score). The user compares the presented candidates and selects the most suitable company. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins collaboration negotiations. In addition, the user can provide feedback on the proposal results to the system, which will be used for the next analysis.

[0816] "Optimization means" refers to a method for adjusting the content of suggestions based on emotional data obtained from the emotion engine and providing the most appropriate information to the user.
[0817] The present invention relates to a system that recognizes user emotions in real time and optimizes proposals when a company or business is looking for a partner. Specific embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described below.
[0818] System Configuration
[0819] User Interface and Emotion Engine
[0820] 1. Input form
[0821] The terminal provides an interface for users to input information about their company, such as the type of business they wish to implement (e.g., joint marketing), their business situation (e.g., sales, number of employees), and market size (e.g., customer demographics, area of operation).
[0822] 2. Emotion Engine
[0823] The device works in conjunction with the input form and recognizes the user's emotions in real time based on the camera and input speed. Specifically, it uses OpenCV to analyze facial expressions and obtain the user's emotions.
[0824] Server and Analysis Engine
[0825] 3. Receipt and storage of information
[0826] The device sends the company information entered in JSON format to the server, which temporarily stores the information in a database. Emotion data is also stored at this stage.
[0827] 4. Analysis of Information
[0828] Based on the information stored on the server, analysis is performed using a generative AI model (such as ChatGPT). The analysis engine selects the most suitable collaborators from the database based on the received information.
[0829] 5. Reflecting emotions
[0830] The server then incorporates emotional data into the results obtained by the analysis engine to optimize the content of suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the server will simplify the suggestions, and if the user is excited, it will provide more detailed suggestions.
[0831] Information presentation and selection
[0832] 6. Displaying the results
[0833] The server sends the optimized proposal results to the user's device. The device displays the received proposal results to the user. The displayed content includes a list of potential partners and their detailed information (company name, industry, evaluation score).
[0834] 7. Selection of partners
[0835] The user selects the most suitable company from the presented list of potential partners. After the selection, specific business negotiations for collaboration begin. The user also uses the feedback function to evaluate the proposal. This feedback will be used for future analysis.
[0836] Specific examples
[0837] For example, consider a user searching for a specific beauty product. The user enters "beauty," "5,000-15,000 yen," and "emotion boost" into the input form. If the emotion engine detects the user's stress, the system will provide concise and intuitive suggestions. The generative AI model (ChatGPT) will provide suggestions such as:
[0838] "The user is interested in beauty products and is considering a price range of 5,000-15,000 yen. The user is feeling a bit stressed and is looking for a product that will lift their spirits. Please suggest products that fit this criteria."
[0839] In this way, the present invention makes it possible to propose the most suitable partner in accordance with the user's feelings.
[0840] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0841] Step 1:
[0842] The user enters company information (e.g., what they want to do, business situation, market size) using an input form on the device. The entered information is converted to JSON format inside the device. At the same time, the emotion engine analyzes the device's camera and input speed to obtain the user's emotion data. The output is the user's company information and emotion data.
[0843] Step 2:
[0844] The device sends the collected company information and emotion data to a server. The server receives this data and temporarily stores it in a database. Specifically, HTTPS is used as the transmission protocol, and the data is stored in a temporary database (e.g., MySQL). The output is company information and emotion data stored on the server.
[0845] Step 3:
[0846] The server passes the saved company information to the analysis engine. The analysis engine (generative AI model ChatGPT) starts up and selects the most suitable partner based on the input information. The input data (company information) is converted into a prompt statement format and sent to ChatGPT. The output is a list of the most suitable candidate partners.
[0847] Step 4:
[0848] The server receives the analysis results and reflects the emotional data in the emotion engine. The suggestion content is optimized based on the emotional data. For example, if the user is stressed, the list is simplified, and if the user is excited, more detailed information is added. The output is an optimized list of potential collaborators.
[0849] Step 5:
[0850] The server sends the optimized list of potential partners to the terminal. The terminal displays the received list to the user. Specifically, the terminal displays the names of the potential partners' companies, their industries, evaluation scores, etc. through a user interface. The output is a list of potential partners that the user can view.
[0851] Step 6:
[0852] The user reviews the displayed list of potential partners and selects the company that best suits them. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins collaboration negotiations. In addition, the user can use the feedback function to evaluate the proposal. The output is feedback on the proposal and the selected partner.
[0853] 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.
[0854] 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.

[1062] Hardware and Software
[1063] Hardware: Server (using Heroku or AWS as cloud services)
[1064] Software: Flask (Python framework), SQLite (database), OpenAI API (generative AI model ChatGPT)
[1065] This allows companies and businesses to efficiently find partners that best suit their needs, maximizing business opportunities. It also effectively incorporates user feedback to improve the accuracy of the system's proposals.
[1066] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1067] Step 1:
[1068] Users launch the smartphone app and enter their company information into the application's input form. This information includes the desired implementation, business situation, market size, etc. This information is then sent to the server.
[1069] Step 2:
[1070] The device sends the company information entered by the user to the server, which temporarily stores the received data in a database (SQLite). During this process, it is confirmed that the input data reaches the server in the correct format.
[1071] Step 3:
[1072] The server calls the generative AI model ChatGPT to analyze the stored data. At this time, it generates and sends a prompt to the analysis engine. This prompt is generated based on the information entered by the user. For example, it might be in the format "Given the following business information: ..."
[1073] Step 4:
[1074] The generative AI model, ChatGPT, generates optimal collaboration proposals based on the prompt text. The server receives these proposals as structured data, such as JSON, and temporarily stores them. These proposals include the name, industry, and evaluation score of each potential collaborator.
[1075] Step 5:
[1076] The server sends the generated proposal results to the user's smartphone. The user can view the received proposal results within the app. The results display screen includes multiple potential partners and their respective details.
[1077] Step 6:
[1078] The user compares the proposals and selects the most suitable partner. During this selection process, the user checks the detailed information of each partner and uses their evaluation score as a reference. The selection results can be sent to the server as feedback.
[1079] Step 7:
[1080] The server receives and stores feedback from users. Analysis of this feedback data can help improve the accuracy of future suggestions. The analysis results are used to improve the system.
[1081] In this way, a system is created in which users can input their company information and efficiently find the best partners. By using generative AI models and prompts, highly accurate suggestions can be made, allowing users to maximize business opportunities.
[1082] 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.
[1083] This invention relates to a system in which a company or business inputs its own company information and, based on that information, proposes optimal partners. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and has the function of optimizing proposal content based on the user's emotions. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.

[1128] Step 4:
[1129] Simultaneously with the input process, the device's built-in emotion engine works to recognize the user's emotions in real time, based on facial expression analysis using a camera and analysis of input speed and patterns.
[1130] Step 5:
[1131] The emotion engine sends the user's emotion data to the server, where it is used for analysis along with company information.
[1132] Step 6:
[1133] The server launches the analysis engine and passes the saved user company information and emotion data. The analysis engine uses the generative AI model ChatGPT. Based on the received information, the analysis engine selects the optimal partner.
[1134] Step 7:
[1135] ChatGPT returns the analysis results to the server, which include multiple potential partners, their evaluation scores, and the proposed solutions.
[1136] Step 8:
[1137] The emotion engine reflects the user's emotional data based on the analysis results and adjusts the suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestions will be simplified, and if the user is excited, the suggestions will be more detailed.
[1138] Step 9:
[1139] The server sends the final proposal results to the user's device, which then displays the received results on the user's screen. The display includes a list of potential partners and their detailed information (company name, industry, and evaluation score).
[1140] Step 10:
[1141] The user browses the list of presented partners and selects the most suitable company. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins specific collaboration negotiations. The user can also provide feedback on the proposal results, which will be used for the next analysis.
[1142] By introducing this system, companies and businesses will be able to find the most suitable partners more efficiently and in line with the user's feelings, building win-win business relationships.
[1143] Example 2
[1144] 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."
[1145] The process for companies and businesses to find partners that meet their needs is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient with conventional methods. Furthermore, suggestions made without considering the user's emotional state are unlikely to be optimal. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can efficiently suggest optimal partners based on the user's input and emotional state.
[1146] 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.
[1147] In this invention, the server includes means for a company or business to input its company information, means for transmitting the input company information to the server, means for saving the received company information, means for starting an analysis engine, means for selecting an optimal partner based on the information received by the analysis engine, means for recognizing the user's emotions during input in real time, means for adjusting the content of proposals based on the emotion recognition results, and means for presenting the selected partner information to the user. This makes it possible to efficiently propose optimal partners that take into account the user's needs and emotional state.
[1148] "Company or establishment" means a legal entity or organization that conducts commercial activities or business.
[1149] "Company information" refers to data and information about a company or business, including, for example, what the company wants to do, its business situation, and the size of its market.

[1157] The "presentation means" is a method for displaying information about the ultimately selected collaborator on the user's terminal.
[1158] User Interface and Emotion Engine
[1159] The system provides a web form for users to enter information about their company. In this form, users can enter information such as the business operations they wish to carry out, their business situation, and market size. The system also incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes emotions in real time while users are typing. Emotion recognition is performed by analyzing the user's facial expressions using a camera, as well as by analyzing the typing speed and patterns.
[1160] Server and Analysis Engine
[1161] Once the company information is entered, the device sends this information in JSON format to the server. The server stores the received information in a database. The received information is analyzed using a generative AI model (e.g., ChatGPT) as an analytical engine. The analytical engine then selects the most suitable partner from the database and generates a proposal based on that.
[1162] Reflecting emotions and adjusting proposals
[1163] The emotion engine adjusts the suggestions based on the analysis engine's suggestions and reflects the user's emotional data. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestion content will be simplified, but if the user is excited, the suggestion will be more detailed.
[1164] Information presentation and selection
[1165] The server sends the final proposal results to the user's device. The device then displays the received proposal results on the user's screen. The displayed content includes a list of potential partners and detailed information about each (company name, industry, and evaluation score). The user compares the presented candidates and selects the most suitable company. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins collaboration negotiations. In addition, the user can provide feedback on the proposal results to the system, which will be used for the next analysis.

[1220] (Application example 2)
[1221] 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."
[1222] Conventional systems used by companies and businesses to find partners do not take user emotions into consideration when making proposals, resulting in a dissatisfied user experience. Furthermore, the accuracy of proposals may not be in line with the user's actual needs, making it difficult to efficiently select partners. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can recognize the user's emotional state in real time and optimize proposal content based on that information.
[1223] The specification process by the specification 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 means for a company or business to input its company information, a means for transmitting the input company information to the server, and a means for starting an engine for analyzing the received company information. This makes it possible to recognize the user's emotional state in real time and optimize the content of suggestions based on that.
[1224] "Enterprise or establishment" refers to a legal entity or organization engaged in commercial activities.
[1225] "Company information" refers to information that a company or business has about its business situation, market size, what it wants to do, etc.
[1226] "Input means" refers to the interface that allows users to input their company information into the system.
[1227] "Means of transmission" refers to the communication means or protocol used to send the entered company information to the server.
[1228] An "analysis engine" refers to artificial intelligence or algorithms that select the most suitable partner based on the company's information received.
[1229] "Means of selection" refers to the mechanisms and methods for using an analytical engine to select the most suitable collaborators.
[1230] "Presentation means" refers to an interface or method for displaying the selected collaboration partner information to the user.
[1231] An "emotion engine" refers to technology that recognizes a user's emotional state in real time and optimizes suggestions based on the results.
[1232] "Optimization means" refers to a method for adjusting the content of suggestions based on emotional data obtained from the emotion engine and providing the most appropriate information to the user.
[1233] The present invention relates to a system that recognizes user emotions in real time and optimizes proposals when a company or business is looking for a partner. Specific embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described below.
[1234] System Configuration
[1235] User Interface and Emotion Engine
[1236] 1. Input form
[1237] The terminal provides an interface for users to input information about their company, such as the type of business they wish to implement (e.g., joint marketing), their business situation (e.g., sales, number of employees), and market size (e.g., customer demographics, area of operation).
[1238] 2. Emotion Engine
[1239] The device works in conjunction with the input form and recognizes the user's emotions in real time based on the camera and input speed. Specifically, it uses OpenCV to analyze facial expressions and obtain the user's emotions.
[1240] Server and Analysis Engine
[1241] 3. Receipt and storage of information
[1242] The device sends the company information entered in JSON format to the server, which temporarily stores the information in a database. Emotion data is also stored at this stage.
[1243] 4. Analysis of Information
[1244] Based on the information stored on the server, analysis is performed using a generative AI model (such as ChatGPT). The analysis engine selects the most suitable collaborators from the database based on the received information.
[1245] 5. Reflecting emotions
[1246] The server then incorporates emotional data into the results obtained by the analysis engine to optimize the content of suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the server will simplify the suggestions, and if the user is excited, it will provide more detailed suggestions.
[1247] Information presentation and selection
[1248] 6. Displaying the results
[1249] The server sends the optimized proposal results to the user's device. The device displays the received proposal results to the user. The displayed content includes a list of potential partners and their detailed information (company name, industry, evaluation score).
[1250] 7. Selection of partners
[1251] The user selects the most suitable company from the presented list of potential partners. After the selection, specific business negotiations for collaboration begin. The user also uses the feedback function to evaluate the proposal. This feedback will be used for future analysis.
[1252] Specific examples
[1253] For example, consider a user searching for a specific beauty product. The user enters "beauty," "5,000-15,000 yen," and "emotion boost" into the input form. If the emotion engine detects the user's stress, the system will provide concise and intuitive suggestions. The generative AI model (ChatGPT) will provide suggestions such as:
[1254] "The user is interested in beauty products and is considering a price range of 5,000-15,000 yen. The user is feeling a bit stressed and is looking for a product that will lift their spirits. Please suggest products that fit this criteria."
[1255] In this way, the present invention makes it possible to propose the most suitable partner in accordance with the user's feelings.
[1256] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1257] Step 1:
[1258] The user enters company information (e.g., what they want to do, business situation, market size) using an input form on the device. The entered information is converted to JSON format inside the device. At the same time, the emotion engine analyzes the device's camera and input speed to obtain the user's emotion data. The output is the user's company information and emotion data.
[1259] Step 2:
[1260] The device sends the collected company information and emotion data to a server. The server receives this data and temporarily stores it in a database. Specifically, HTTPS is used as the transmission protocol, and the data is stored in a temporary database (e.g., MySQL). The output is company information and emotion data stored on the server.
[1261] Step 3:
[1262] The server passes the saved company information to the analysis engine. The analysis engine (generative AI model ChatGPT) starts up and selects the most suitable partner based on the input information. The input data (company information) is converted into a prompt statement format and sent to ChatGPT. The output is a list of the most suitable candidate partners.
[1263] Step 4:
[1264] The server receives the analysis results and reflects the emotional data in the emotion engine. The suggestion content is optimized based on the emotional data. For example, if the user is stressed, the list is simplified, and if the user is excited, more detailed information is added. The output is an optimized list of potential collaborators.
[1265] Step 5:
[1266] The server sends the optimized list of potential partners to the terminal. The terminal displays the received list to the user. Specifically, the terminal displays the names of the potential partners' companies, their industries, evaluation scores, etc. through a user interface. The output is a list of potential partners that the user can view.
[1267] Step 6:
[1268] The user reviews the displayed list of potential partners and selects the company that best suits them. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins collaboration negotiations. In addition, the user can use the feedback function to evaluate the proposal. The output is feedback on the proposal and the selected partner.
[1269] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1270] 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.
[1271] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the headset type terminal 314.

[1442] System Configuration
[1443] User Interface
[1444] Users enter their company information through an application installed on their smartphone. This information can include:
[1445] What you want to do (e.g. joint marketing, joint events)
[1446] Business situation (e.g., sales, number of employees)
[1447] Market size (e.g., customer demographics, area of operation)
[1448] The entered information is sent to a server and stored for analysis.
[1449] Server and Analysis Engine
[1450] The server has the following functions:
[1451] 1. Receipt and storage of information
[1452] Receives information entered by the user and temporarily stores it in a database.
[1453] 2. Analysis of Information
[1454] The server starts the generative AI model ChatGPT, generates a prompt based on the received information, and generates a proposal for the collaborating partner based on this prompt.
[1455] 3. Proposal generation
[1456] The proposed results generated by the analysis engine are returned to the server as structured data in JSON format or similar, and then sent back to the user's smartphone.
[1457] Displaying the proposed results
[1458] The user's smartphone displays the proposal results sent from the server, which include potential partners and their detailed information (company name, industry, evaluation score).
[1459] Specific examples
[1460] 1. Example of user information entry
[1461] Company A wants to conduct a "joint marketing campaign" and enters the following information:
[1462] What we want to do: Joint marketing campaigns
[1463] Business situation: Annual sales of 100 million yen, number of employees: 50
[1464] Market size: Products mainly targeted at women in their 30s, nationwide
[1465] 2. Analyzing the information and generating recommendations
[1466] The server receives the information and uses ChatGPT to generate a prompt like this:
[1467] Given the following business information:
[1468] Project: Joint Marketing Campaign
[1469] Revenue: 100 million yen
[1470] Employees: 50
[1471] Market: Mainly targeting women in their 30s, national expansion
[1472] Find the best partnership opportunities.
[1473] Based on the analysis results, the following proposed results are generated.
[1474] Partner candidate 1: Beauty product manufacturer (rating score: 85)
[1475] Partner candidate 2: Fitness gym (rating score: 80)
[1476] Partner candidate 3: Organic food store (rating score: 78)
[1477] 3. Displaying and selecting results
[1478] The user receives the proposal results and views the list of candidates displayed on the screen. The user can compare the detailed information and select the most suitable partner.
[1479] Hardware and Software
[1480] Hardware: Server (using Heroku or AWS as cloud services)
[1481] Software: Flask (Python framework), SQLite (database), OpenAI API (generative AI model ChatGPT)
[1482] This allows companies and businesses to efficiently find partners that best suit their needs, maximizing business opportunities. It also effectively incorporates user feedback to improve the accuracy of the system's proposals.
[1483] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1484] Step 1:
[1485] Users launch the smartphone app and enter their company information into the application's input form. This information includes the desired implementation, business situation, market size, etc. This information is then sent to the server.
[1486] Step 2:
[1487] The device sends the company information entered by the user to the server, which temporarily stores the received data in a database (SQLite). During this process, it is confirmed that the input data reaches the server in the correct format.
[1488] Step 3:
[1489] The server calls the generative AI model ChatGPT to analyze the stored data. At this time, it generates and sends a prompt to the analysis engine. This prompt is generated based on the information entered by the user. For example, it might be in the format "Given the following business information: ..."
[1490] Step 4:
[1491] The generative AI model, ChatGPT, generates optimal collaboration proposals based on the prompt text. The server receives these proposals as structured data, such as JSON, and temporarily stores them. These proposals include the name, industry, and evaluation score of each potential collaborator.
[1492] Step 5:
[1493] The server sends the generated proposal results to the user's smartphone. The user can view the received proposal results within the app. The results display screen includes multiple potential partners and their respective details.
[1494] Step 6:
[1495] The user compares the proposals and selects the most suitable partner. During this selection process, the user checks the detailed information of each partner and uses their evaluation score as a reference. The selection results can be sent to the server as feedback.
[1496] Step 7:
[1497] The server receives and stores feedback from users. Analysis of this feedback data can help improve the accuracy of future suggestions. The analysis results are used to improve the system.
[1498] In this way, a system is created in which users can input their company information and efficiently find the best partners. By using generative AI models and prompts, highly accurate suggestions can be made, allowing users to maximize business opportunities.
[1499] 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.
[1500] This invention relates to a system in which a company or business inputs its own company information and, based on that information, proposes optimal partners. Furthermore, this system incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and has the function of optimizing proposal content based on the user's emotions. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[1501] System Configuration

[1536] The user receives the proposal results and views the list of candidates displayed on the screen. The user compares the detailed information and selects beauty product manufacturer B as the most suitable partner. If necessary, the user can also provide feedback.
[1537] This system allows companies and businesses to efficiently find partners that best suit their needs. Furthermore, the introduction of an emotion engine optimizes proposals based on the user's emotions, enabling more effective collaboration.
[1538] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1539] Step 1:
[1540] The user accesses the input form and enters their company information. Here, the user enters specific details such as the business situation, market size, etc., and clicks the submit button.
[1541] Step 2:
[1542] The device sends the user's input information in JSON format to the server, using the HTTPS protocol to ensure secure data transfer.
[1543] Step 3:
[1544] The server receives the information sent by the user and temporarily stores it in a database. It then performs a consistency check on the stored data to ensure there are no omissions or errors.
[1545] Step 4:
[1546] Simultaneously with the input process, the device's built-in emotion engine works to recognize the user's emotions in real time, based on facial expression analysis using a camera and analysis of input speed and patterns.
[1547] Step 5:
[1548] The emotion engine sends the user's emotion data to the server, where it is used for analysis along with company information.
[1549] Step 6:
[1550] The server launches the analysis engine and passes the saved user company information and emotion data. The analysis engine uses the generative AI model ChatGPT. Based on the received information, the analysis engine selects the optimal partner.
[1551] Step 7:
[1552] ChatGPT returns the analysis results to the server, which include multiple potential partners, their evaluation scores, and the proposed solutions.
[1553] Step 8:
[1554] The emotion engine reflects the user's emotional data based on the analysis results and adjusts the suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestions will be simplified, and if the user is excited, the suggestions will be more detailed.
[1555] Step 9:
[1556] The server sends the final proposal results to the user's device, which then displays the received results on the user's screen. The display includes a list of potential partners and their detailed information (company name, industry, and evaluation score).
[1557] Step 10:
[1558] The user browses the list of presented partners and selects the most suitable company. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins specific collaboration negotiations. The user can also provide feedback on the proposal results, which will be used for the next analysis.
[1559] By introducing this system, companies and businesses will be able to find the most suitable partners more efficiently and in line with the user's feelings, building win-win business relationships.
[1560] Example 2
[1561] 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."
[1562] The process for companies and businesses to find partners that meet their needs is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient with conventional methods. Furthermore, suggestions made without considering the user's emotional state are unlikely to be optimal. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can efficiently suggest optimal partners based on the user's input and emotional state.
[1563] 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.
[1564] In this invention, the server includes means for a company or business to input its company information, means for transmitting the input company information to the server, means for saving the received company information, means for starting an analysis engine, means for selecting an optimal partner based on the information received by the analysis engine, means for recognizing the user's emotions during input in real time, means for adjusting the content of proposals based on the emotion recognition results, and means for presenting the selected partner information to the user. This makes it possible to efficiently propose optimal partners that take into account the user's needs and emotional state.
[1565] "Company or establishment" means a legal entity or organization that conducts commercial activities or business.
[1566] "Company information" refers to data and information about a company or business, including, for example, what the company wants to do, its business situation, and the size of its market.
[1567] "Input means" refers to the interface that allows users to input their company information into the system.
[1568] "Transmission means" is a function for transmitting the entered company information from the user's terminal to the server.
[1569] "Means for storing" refers to the method of storing the received company information in a database or other storage device.
[1570] An "analysis engine" is a program or algorithm that analyzes the company's received information and selects the most suitable partner based on specified criteria.
[1571] "Real-time recognition means" refers to the ability to instantly detect and analyze the user's emotional state while they are typing.
[1572] "Emotion recognition result" is data obtained as a result of analyzing the user's emotional state.
[1573] The "means for adjusting the content of the proposal" is a function for changing and optimizing the content of the proposal based on the emotion recognition results.
[1574] The "presentation means" is a method for displaying information about the ultimately selected collaborator on the user's terminal.
[1575] User Interface and Emotion Engine
[1576] The system provides a web form for users to enter information about their company. In this form, users can enter information such as the business operations they wish to carry out, their business situation, and market size. The system also incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes emotions in real time while users are typing. Emotion recognition is performed by analyzing the user's facial expressions using a camera, as well as by analyzing the typing speed and patterns.
[1577] Server and Analysis Engine
[1578] Once the company information is entered, the device sends this information in JSON format to the server. The server stores the received information in a database. The received information is analyzed using a generative AI model (e.g., ChatGPT) as an analytical engine. The analytical engine then selects the most suitable partner from the database and generates a proposal based on that.
[1579] Reflecting emotions and adjusting proposals
[1580] The emotion engine adjusts the suggestions based on the analysis engine's suggestions and reflects the user's emotional data. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestion content will be simplified, but if the user is excited, the suggestion will be more detailed.
[1581] Information presentation and selection
[1582] The server sends the final proposal results to the user's device. The device then displays the received proposal results on the user's screen. The displayed content includes a list of potential partners and detailed information about each (company name, industry, and evaluation score). The user compares the presented candidates and selects the most suitable company. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins collaboration negotiations. In addition, the user can provide feedback on the proposal results to the system, which will be used for the next analysis.

[1645] An "analysis engine" refers to artificial intelligence or algorithms that select the most suitable partner based on the company's information received.
[1646] "Means of selection" refers to the mechanisms and methods for using an analytical engine to select the most suitable collaborators.
[1647] "Presentation means" refers to an interface or method for displaying the selected collaboration partner information to the user.
[1648] An "emotion engine" refers to technology that recognizes a user's emotional state in real time and optimizes suggestions based on the results.
[1649] "Optimization means" refers to a method for adjusting the content of suggestions based on emotional data obtained from the emotion engine and providing the most appropriate information to the user.
[1650] The present invention relates to a system that recognizes user emotions in real time and optimizes proposals when a company or business is looking for a partner. Specific embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described below.
[1651] System Configuration
[1652] User Interface and Emotion Engine
[1653] 1. Input form
[1654] The terminal provides an interface for users to input information about their company, such as the type of business they wish to implement (e.g., joint marketing), their business situation (e.g., sales, number of employees), and market size (e.g., customer demographics, area of operation).
[1655] 2. Emotion Engine
[1656] The device works in conjunction with the input form and recognizes the user's emotions in real time based on the camera and input speed. Specifically, it uses OpenCV to analyze facial expressions and obtain the user's emotions.
[1657] Server and Analysis Engine
[1658] 3. Receipt and storage of information
[1659] The device sends the company information entered in JSON format to the server, which temporarily stores the information in a database. Emotion data is also stored at this stage.
[1660] 4. Analysis of Information
[1661] Based on the information stored on the server, analysis is performed using a generative AI model (such as ChatGPT). The analysis engine selects the most suitable collaborators from the database based on the received information.
[1662] 5. Reflecting emotions
[1663] The server then incorporates emotional data into the results obtained by the analysis engine to optimize the content of suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the server will simplify the suggestions, and if the user is excited, it will provide more detailed suggestions.
[1664] Information presentation and selection
[1665] 6. Displaying the results
[1666] The server sends the optimized proposal results to the user's device. The device displays the received proposal results to the user. The displayed content includes a list of potential partners and their detailed information (company name, industry, evaluation score).
[1667] 7. Selection of partners
[1668] The user selects the most suitable company from the presented list of potential partners. After the selection, specific business negotiations for collaboration begin. The user also uses the feedback function to evaluate the proposal. This feedback will be used for future analysis.
[1669] Specific examples
[1670] For example, consider a user searching for a specific beauty product. The user enters "beauty," "5,000-15,000 yen," and "emotion boost" into the input form. If the emotion engine detects the user's stress, the system will provide concise and intuitive suggestions. The generative AI model (ChatGPT) will provide suggestions such as:
[1671] "The user is interested in beauty products and is considering a price range of 5,000-15,000 yen. The user is feeling a bit stressed and is looking for a product that will lift their spirits. Please suggest products that fit this criteria."
[1672] In this way, the present invention makes it possible to propose the most suitable partner in accordance with the user's feelings.
[1673] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1674] Step 1:
[1675] The user enters company information (e.g., what they want to do, business situation, market size) using an input form on the device. The entered information is converted to JSON format inside the device. At the same time, the emotion engine analyzes the device's camera and input speed to obtain the user's emotion data. The output is the user's company information and emotion data.
[1676] Step 2:
[1677] The device sends the collected company information and emotion data to a server. The server receives this data and temporarily stores it in a database. Specifically, HTTPS is used as the transmission protocol, and the data is stored in a temporary database (e.g., MySQL). The output is company information and emotion data stored on the server.
[1678] Step 3:
[1679] The server passes the saved company information to the analysis engine. The analysis engine (generative AI model ChatGPT) starts up and selects the most suitable partner based on the input information. The input data (company information) is converted into a prompt statement format and sent to ChatGPT. The output is a list of the most suitable candidate partners.
[1680] Step 4:
[1681] The server receives the analysis results and reflects the emotional data in the emotion engine. The suggestion content is optimized based on the emotional data. For example, if the user is stressed, the list is simplified, and if the user is excited, more detailed information is added. The output is an optimized list of potential collaborators.
[1682] Step 5:
[1683] The server sends the optimized list of potential partners to the terminal. The terminal displays the received list to the user. Specifically, the terminal displays the names of the potential partners' companies, their industries, evaluation scores, etc. through a user interface. The output is a list of potential partners that the user can view.
[1684] Step 6:
[1685] The user reviews the displayed list of potential partners and selects the company that best suits them. After making a selection, the user contacts the selected partner and begins collaboration negotiations. In addition, the user can use the feedback function to evaluate the proposal. The output is feedback on the proposal and the selected partner.
[1686] 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.
[1687] 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.
[1688] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[1689] 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.
[1690] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and actions arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[1691] 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.
[1692] 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).
[1693] 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.
[1694] 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."
[1695] 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.
[1696] 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).
[1697] 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.
[1698] 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.
[1699] 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.
[1700] 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.
[1701] 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.
[1702] 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.
[1703] 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.
[1704] 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.

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