[0124] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0125] This invention is a system that delves into the various worries and feelings of users, provides appropriate advice, and automatically generates a community of people in similar situations. This system is composed of a server, terminals, and users. The operation of this system and the processing of the program are described in detail below.
[0126] System configuration
[0127] 1. Server: Located in a central location, it processes data entered by users and manages and provides various information. Natural language processing (NLP) technology and artificial intelligence (AI) modules are installed on the server. Specific technologies include SpaCy and NLTK for analyzing text data and ChatGPT for generating advice.
[0128] 2. Device: A device that provides an interface for users to input their worries and feelings, such as a PC, smartphone, or tablet. These devices provide a platform for users to input text data and send it to a server.
[0129] 3. User: The entity who uses the system to input their concerns and receive advice and access to the community.
[0130] Program processing
[0131] Entering and receiving text data
[0132] The user inputs their "concerns" or "feelings" in natural language through the device. For example, they might input "I can't sleep lately because of work stress." The device then sends the input text data to the server.
[0133] Text data analysis
[0134] The server uses natural language processing techniques (SpaCy or NLTK) to analyze the received text data. This process involves tokenizing the text and extracting keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep" can be extracted.
[0135] Generating Advice
[0136] The server constructs a prompt for the artificial intelligence model (ChatGPT) based on the extracted keywords and phrases, and generates advice. An example of a prompt is, "What should I do when I can't sleep because of work stress?" The generated advice is provided to the user, for example, "How to take deep breaths and relax" or "Maintain a bedtime routine."
[0137] Obtaining information on specialized institutions
[0138] The server retrieves information about specialist institutions and support services that can provide advice from a database. For example, it retrieves information about clinics that offer cognitive behavioral therapy. The retrieved information is formatted as the clinic's address, contact information, opening hours, etc.
[0139] Categorizing users with similar circumstances and creating communities
[0140] The server uses a clustering algorithm (e.g., k-means clustering) to categorize related users based on the user's concerns and advice. For example, it could create categories related to "work stress" and "sleep disorders," and automatically create a community of users with the same concerns.
[0141] Feedback and community engagement
[0142] The server sends the generated advice, information about the specialist organization, and an invitation link to the community to the user's device. The device displays the received information on a user interface. The user can then take action based on the displayed information. Specifically, the user can act on the advice, contact the specialist organization, or join the community to interact with other users.
[0143] Specific examples
[0144] If a user types, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep due to work stress," this text data is sent from the device to the server. The server analyzes this data and extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep." The generative AI model (ChatGPT) then receives a prompt such as, "What should I do when I can't sleep due to work stress?" and generates advice. For example, advice such as "Take deep breaths to relax" or "Maintain a bedtime routine" is provided. At the same time, information about related specialist institutions is retrieved and provided to the user. Users with the same problem are also categorized, a community is created, and an invitation link is sent. This system allows users to receive appropriate advice and connect with specialist institutions and other users with the same problem.
[0145] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0146] Step 1:

[0189] (Application example 1)
[0190] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0191] With conventional systems, it was difficult to provide accurate advice to users regarding their concerns and emotions, and it was also difficult to form a community of people in the same situation. In particular, since there was no system to address the specific concerns of store employees and customers, these users tended to feel isolated and were unable to obtain effective solutions or psychological support.
[0192] 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.
[0193] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving text data of worries and emotions entered by a user, means for analyzing the received text data and extracting keywords and important phrases, means for using an artificial intelligence model to generate advice based on the extracted keywords and phrases, means for acquiring information on specialist institutions and support services corresponding to the generated advice, means for categorizing users with related worries and automatically generating communities where people in similar situations gather, means for providing users with the generated advice, information on specialist institutions, and an invitation link to join the community, and means for generating appropriate advice for worries and emotions entered by store employees and customers and providing related community information. This makes it possible to quickly provide appropriate advice and automatically generate related communities even for the specific worries faced by store employees and customers.
[0194] A "user" is an entity that uses the system to input worries and feelings and receive advice and community information.
[0195] "Text data" is data in natural language format that includes worries and feelings entered by users.
[0196] "Extraction" is the process of extracting keywords and important phrases from the received text data.
[0197] An "artificial intelligence model" is a program or algorithm that uses natural language processing technology to understand the meaning of input data and generate appropriate advice.
[0198] A "specialized institution" is an institution such as a medical institution or counseling service that provides support and treatment for distress and emotions.
[0199] "Support services" refers to all services that provide specific support for users' concerns and emotions.
[0200] "Categorization" means classifying users with related concerns and grouping people in the same situation.
[0201] A "community" is a group of users who share the same concerns and feelings and come together to exchange information and interact with each other.
[0202] An "invitation link" is a reference URL or means of invitation to join that directs users to a newly created community.
[0203] "Physical store employees" refers to staff and sales associates who actually work in the store.
[0204] "Customers" refer to consumers who visit physical stores and use products and services.
[0205] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0210] 2. Terminal:
[0211] A device that provides an interface for users to input their worries and feelings. Specifically, this applies to PCs, smartphones, tablets, etc.
[0212] 3. User:
[0213] These are the people who use the system to input their concerns and receive advice and access to the community. These include store employees and customers.
[0214] Program processing
[0215] The firmware and software configuration will be described.
[0216] Hardware:
[0217] Smartphones, tablets, etc. are used as input interfaces by users.
[0218] software:
[0219] This system uses the following software and services:
[0220] OpenAI® API: Used for natural language processing and advice generation.
[0221] HTTP request library (e.g. Requests): Used to retrieve community information.
[0222] Processing Description
[0223] The server performs a series of processes using the following means.
[0224] 1. Receive text data about worries and feelings:
[0225] The user inputs their "concerns" or "feelings" in natural language through the device. For example, they might input "I've been having trouble with stress from customer service lately." This text data is sent to the server.
[0226] 2. Text data analysis:
[0227] The server uses OpenAI's API and natural language processing technology to analyze the received text data. This process segments the text and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "customer service," "stress," and "troubled" are extracted.
[0228] 3. Generating Advice:
[0229] The server generates advice using an artificial intelligence model (e.g., GPT-3 (registered trademark)) based on the extracted keywords and phrases. The generated advice might be, for example, "Try practicing stress relief methods. For example, you could try breathing exercises or taking short breaks."
[0230] 4. Providing information on professional organizations:
[0231] The server retrieves information from a database about specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice, such as information about clinics offering cognitive behavioral therapy.
[0232] 5. Categorizing users with related concerns and creating a community:
[0233] The server uses a clustering algorithm to categorize related users based on their concerns and advice. For example, it could create a category related to "stress in customer service" and automatically create a community of users with the same concerns.
[0234] 6. Feedback and Community Involvement:
[0235] The generated advice, information about the expert organization, and an invitation link to the community are sent to the user's terminal, allowing the user to receive the advice, inquire about the expert organization, or join the community.
[0236] Specific examples
[0237] When a user inputs a concern such as "I've been suffering from stress lately when working with customers," the following prompt is sent to the generative AI model:
[0238] Prompt (for analysis): "Analyze your worries and feelings and extract keywords: I've been having trouble with stress from serving customers lately."
[0239] Prompt (for advice): "Generate appropriate advice based on the keywords 'customer service, stress'."
[0240] This makes it possible to quickly provide appropriate advice for the specific concerns of store employees and customers, and automatically generate related communities.
[0241] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0242] Step 1:
[0243] The user uses a terminal to input their worries and feelings in natural language. For example, they might input text data such as, "Recently, I've been suffering from stress from customer service." This input text data is then sent from the terminal to the server.
[0244] Step 2:
[0245] The server uses OpenAI's API to analyze the received text data and performs natural language processing. This process tokenizes the input text and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "customer service," "stress," and "troubled" can be extracted.
[0246] Input: Text data from the user: "Recently, I've been suffering from stress from customer service."
[0247] Data processing: Text tokenization, keyword extraction
[0248] Output: Extracted keywords "customer service," "stress," and "troubled"
[0249] Step 3:
[0250] Based on the extracted keywords, the server uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) to generate appropriate advice, such as "Try practicing stress relief methods. For example, you could try breathing exercises or short breaks."
[0251] Input: Extracted keywords "customer service," "stress," "troubled"
[0252] Data Computation: Advice Generation with Generative AI Models
[0253] Output: Advice: "Try practicing stress reduction techniques, such as breathing exercises and taking short breaks."
[0254] Step 4:
[0255] The server retrieves information on specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice from a database, for example, "information on clinics that provide cognitive behavioral therapy."
[0256] Input: Generated advice: "Try practicing stress reduction techniques, such as breathing exercises and taking short breaks."
[0257] Data calculation: Retrieving professional agency information from databases
[0258] Output: Specialist information "Information on clinics offering cognitive behavioral therapy"
[0259] Step 5:
[0260] Based on the user's worry data and the generated advice, the server uses a clustering algorithm to categorize related users and automatically generate communities of users with the same worries. For example, it generates a community related to "stress in customer service."
[0261] Input: User's trouble data, generated advice
[0262] Data processing: Categorization using clustering algorithms
[0263] Output: Generated community "Community related to customer service stress"
[0264] Step 6:
[0265] The server sends the generated advice, information about the expert organization, and an invitation link to join the community to the user's device. The user receives this information and can then act on the advice, contact the expert organization, or join the community.
[0266] Input: Generated advice, professional information, community invite link
[0267] Data Computing: Formatting and Transmitting Information
[0268] Output: Display information on the user's device (advice, information on specialist institutions, community invitation links)
[0269] 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.
[0270] This invention is a system that delves deeply into the user's worries and emotions, provides appropriate advice, and automatically generates a community of people in similar situations. This system incorporates an emotion engine to provide comprehensive support, including recognizing the emotions entered by the user. The operation of this system and the program processing are described below.

[0307] 10. The terminal displays this information to the user.
[0308] 11. The user follows the advice, consults with specialist authorities if necessary, and participates in the community.
[0309] This system allows users to receive appropriate advice regarding their worries and feelings, and they can receive psychological support by interacting with other users who have the same worries and feelings.
[0310] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0311] Step 1:
[0312] The user inputs their worries and feelings into the device in natural language. For example, they might input, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep because of work stress."
[0313] Step 2:
[0314] The terminal transmits the input text data to the server.
[0315] Step 3:
[0316] The server stores the received text data and starts the text analysis module to begin analysis.
[0317] Step 4:
[0318] The server uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to tokenize the text data and extract keywords and important phrases, such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep."
[0319] Step 5:
[0320] The server analyzes the extracted text data using an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions, such as "stress" and "anxiety."
[0321] Step 6:
[0322] The server sends a request to an artificial intelligence model (e.g., ChatGPT) to generate advice based on the extracted keywords and recognized emotions.
[0323] Step 7:
[0324] The server receives the advice returned by the AI model and adjusts the advice to match the user's emotions, for example, emphasizing "ways to reduce stress" and "ways to relax."
[0325] Step 8:
[0326] The server searches a database for information on specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice, for example, obtaining information on clinics that offer cognitive behavioral therapy.
[0327] Step 9:
[0328] The server uses a clustering algorithm to categorize related users based on their worries and emotions, for example, creating a category for "stress management and sleep improvement."
[0329] Step 10:
[0330] Based on categorized user data, the server automatically generates a community where users with the same concerns and feelings can gather.
[0331] Step 11:
[0332] The server prepares feedback data including the generated advice, information about the professional organization, and an invitation link to join the community, and transmits the feedback data to the user's terminal.

For example, if stress levels are high, the server will provide advice including relaxation techniques such as "take deep breaths to relax" and "maintain a bedtime routine."
[0371] Providing information on specialized institutions
[0372] The server searches the database for information on specialist institutions and support services that can provide advice. For example, it retrieves information on clinics that offer cognitive behavioral therapy.
[0373] Categorizing users with similar circumstances and creating communities
[0374] The server categorizes related users using a clustering algorithm (e.g., K-means or DBSCAN) based on the user's worry and emotion data. Furthermore, for each cluster, the server automatically generates a community of users with related worries and emotions. For example, it generates a community for "stress management and sleep improvement."
[0375] Feedback and community engagement
[0376] The server prepares feedback data including the generated advice, information about the specialist organization, and an invitation link to join the community, and sends it to the user's terminal. The terminal displays the received feedback data to the user. The user checks the received information and, if necessary, follows the advice, contacts the specialist organization, or clicks the provided link to join the community.
[0377] Specific examples
[0378] Example: If the user enters "Sleep problems due to work stress"
[0379] 1. The user types into the terminal, "I haven't been able to sleep lately because of work stress."
[0380] 2. The device sends this text data to the server.
[0381] 3. The server analyzes the received text data and extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep."
[0382] 4. The server analyzes the text data using an emotion engine to recognize emotions such as anxiety and stress.
[0383] 5. The server queries the AI model to generate "stress reduction methods" and "sleep improvement advice," adjusting them based on emotions.
[0384] 6. The server generates advice such as "take a deep breath and relax" or "follow a bedtime routine."
[0385] 7. The server retrieves information about specialized institutions that provide cognitive behavioral therapy from the database and formats the information.

[0387] 9. The server provides the user with generated advice, expert information, and community invitation links.
[0388] 10. The terminal displays this information to the user.
[0389] 11. The user follows the advice, consults with specialist authorities if necessary, and participates in the community.
[0390] An example of a prompt sentence is "Generate specific advice to reduce stress based on keywords entered by the user."
[0391] This system allows users to receive accurate and prompt advice on their worries and feelings, and they can also receive psychological support by interacting with other users who have the same worries and feelings.
[0392] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0393] Step 1:
[0394] The user inputs their worries and feelings into the device in natural language. For example, they might input, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep due to work stress." This becomes the input data. The device receives this input text data and sends it to the server as an HTTP request. This becomes the output data.
[0395] Step 2:
[0396] The server receives text data and stores it in a database. This data becomes input data. Based on the stored data, a text analysis module (e.g., Spacy or NLTK) is invoked to tokenize the received text data. The tokenized data becomes output data.
[0397] Step 3:
[0398] The server analyzes the tokenized data and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep" are extracted from text data. This is the input data, and the output data is a list of keywords as a result of the analysis.
[0399] Step 4:
[0400] The server uses an emotion engine (such as Affectiva or IBM Watson) to analyze the text data based on keywords and recognize the user's emotions. For example, emotions such as stress or anxiety are identified. This is the input data, and the emotion recognition results are the output data.
[0401] Step 5:
[0402] The server generates advice using a generative AI model (e.g., ChatGPT) based on the extracted keywords and the recognized emotions. Here, the server inputs prompt sentences, such as "How to reduce stress" or "Advice on improving sleep," into the AI model. The generated advice is the output data.
[0403] Step 6:
[0404] The server adjusts the advice content based on the emotional data and the generated advice. For example, if stress is high, it will emphasize relaxation techniques such as "taking deep breaths to relax" and "maintaining a bedtime routine." The adjusted advice is the output data.
[0405] Step 7:
[0406] The server searches a database for information on specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice. For example, it searches for "information on clinics that provide cognitive behavioral therapy." The information on specialist institutions is the output data.
[0407] Step 8:
[0408] The server categorizes related users using a clustering algorithm (e.g., K-means or DBSCAN) based on the user's concern and emotion data. This is the input data. For each cluster, it automatically generates a community of users with related concerns and emotions. This is the output data.
[0409] Step 9:
[0410] The server prepares feedback data including the generated advice, information on the professional organization, and an invitation link to join the community, and sends it to the user's terminal, which is output data.
[0411] Step 10:
[0412] The device displays the received feedback data to the user. The user confirms the received information, for example by following the displayed advice, contacting a specialist, or clicking a provided link to join a community. This is input data.
[0413] Through this series of steps, users can receive accurate and prompt advice on their worries and feelings, and can also receive psychological support by interacting with other users who have the same worries and feelings.
[0414] (Application example 2)
[0415] 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."
[0416] In modern society, it is important to provide appropriate support to the many people suffering from stress and worries, and to form communities where people share similar problems. However, previous systems have struggled to accurately analyze users' worries and emotions and generate appropriate advice, and have been inadequate in automatically generating communities or directing users to specialized institutions. Furthermore, they lacked the functionality to record and analyze users' emotions and worries on a daily basis. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a more effective and comprehensive support system.
[0417] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0432] This invention is a system that analyzes text data entered by users about their worries and emotions, provides advice based on that data, and creates a community of people with the same worries. The system records users' emotions and worries daily and provides an interface for analyzing them. It also generates advice based on the analysis results and displays it on a smartphone screen.
[0433] The system consists of three main components:
[0434] 1. Server:
[0435] The server is centrally located and receives the data sent by users, analyzes it, and processes it.
[0436] The server is installed with a natural language processing (NLP) engine, a sentiment analysis engine, and artificial intelligence models for advice generation (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3 and ChatGPT).
[0437] Specifically, the text data received by the server is analyzed using an NLP engine (e.g., SpaCy or Google (registered trademark) Cloud Natural Language API) to recognize emotions.
[0438] A sentiment analysis engine (e.g., Watson's Tone Analyzer) provides detailed analysis of the user's emotions.
[0439] An artificial intelligence model for generating advice generates advice based on the analysis results and provides data for displaying that advice on a smartphone screen.
[0440] 2. Terminal:
[0441] A terminal is a device that allows a user to input text data, including a smartphone, tablet, or PC.
[0442] The terminal transmits the input text data to the server and receives a response from the server.
[0443] Specifically, the user enters "I can't sleep lately because of work stress" into the text box and presses the send button. The device then sends this data to the server.
[0444] In response from the server, analysis results, advice, information on specialist institutions, and a link to join the community are displayed on the smartphone screen.
[0445] 3. User:
[0446] Users use this system to input their worries and feelings and receive support.
[0447] Users input their daily feelings and worries into the system, receive generated advice and information, and act based on it.
[0448] For example, if a user types, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep due to work stress," the server analyzes this text data, and the NLP engine extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep." The sentiment analysis engine recognizes the user's emotions as "anxiety" and "stress." The AI model then generates advice based on these keywords and emotions, suggesting things like "taking deep breaths to relax" and "maintaining a bedtime routine." It also provides information about related specialist organizations and encourages users to join a community where users with the same concerns gather.
[0449] To further illustrate this, here are some example prompts:
[0450] User said: I can't sleep lately because of work stress.
[0451] Generate appropriate advice based on that emotion.
[0452] This will allow users to continuously record their worries and feelings and receive appropriate advice based on that information. It will also make it easier for them to receive psychological support through interactions with other users who have similar worries.
[0453] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0454] Step 1:
[0455] A user inputs text data into a terminal.
[0456] Specifically, users use devices such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs to input their worries and feelings, such as "I haven't been able to sleep lately because of work stress," into the system's interface.
[0457] Input: Text data of worries and emotions
[0458] Output: The input text data
[0459] Step 2:
[0460] The terminal transmits the input text data to the server.
[0461] Specifically, the input text data (e.g., "I can't sleep lately because of work stress") is sent from the device to the server. This communication uses the Internet Protocol.
[0462] Input: Entered text data
[0463] Output: Text data sent to the server
[0464] Step 3:
[0465] The server stores the received text data and starts text analysis.
[0466] Specifically, the server uses an NLP engine (e.g., SpaCy or Google Cloud Natural Language API) to tokenize the received text data and extract keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep" are extracted.
[0467] Input: Transmitted text data
[0468] Output: Extracted keywords and phrases
[0469] Step 4:
[0470] The server analyzes the extracted keywords and phrases using a sentiment analysis engine to recognize the user's emotions.
[0471] Specifically, an emotion engine (e.g., Watson's Tone Analyzer) analyzes text data and identifies emotions such as anxiety and stress. For example, "anxiety" and "stress" are recognized.
[0472] Input: Extracted keywords or phrases
[0473] Output: Recognized emotion
[0474] Step 5:
[0475] The server generates advice using an artificial intelligence model based on the recognized emotions and keywords.
[0476] Specifically, a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's ChatGPT) generates advice based on the prompt, such as "take a deep breath and relax" or "maintain a bedtime routine."
[0477] Input: Recognized emotions and keywords
[0478] Output: Generated advice
[0479] Step 6:
[0480] The server formats the generated advice into a format suitable for display on the smartphone screen and sends it to the device.
[0481] Specifically, the server formats the advice content into an appropriate format, such as JSON, and sends it to the user's device.
[0482] Input: Generated advice
[0483] Output: Formatted advice data
[0484] Step 7:
[0485] The device will display on the screen the advice provided, information about specialist agencies, and an invitation to join the community.
[0486] Specifically, the device analyzes the data received from the server and visually displays it to the user. The user can then check the advice and information displayed on the screen and, if necessary, contact a specialist institution or join a community.
[0487] Input: formatted advice data, professional information, community links
[0488] Output: Advice and links displayed on the smartphone screen
[0489] 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.
[0490] 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.

[0597] Entering and receiving text data
[0598] The user inputs their "concerns" or "feelings" in natural language through the device. For example, they might input "I can't sleep lately because of work stress." The device then sends the input text data to the server.
[0599] Text data analysis
[0600] The server uses natural language processing techniques (SpaCy or NLTK) to analyze the received text data. This process involves tokenizing the text and extracting keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep" can be extracted.
[0601] Generating Advice
[0602] The server constructs a prompt for the artificial intelligence model (ChatGPT) based on the extracted keywords and phrases, and generates advice. An example of a prompt is, "What should I do when I can't sleep because of work stress?" The generated advice is provided to the user, for example, "How to take deep breaths and relax" or "Maintain a bedtime routine."
[0603] Obtaining information on specialized institutions
[0604] The server retrieves information about specialist institutions and support services that can provide advice from a database. For example, it retrieves information about clinics that offer cognitive behavioral therapy. The retrieved information is formatted as the clinic's address, contact information, opening hours, etc.
[0605] Categorizing users with similar circumstances and creating communities
[0606] The server uses a clustering algorithm (e.g., k-means clustering) to categorize related users based on the user's concerns and advice. For example, it could create categories related to "work stress" and "sleep disorders," and automatically create a community of users with the same concerns.
[0607] Feedback and community engagement
[0608] The server sends the generated advice, information about the specialist organization, and an invitation link to the community to the user's device. The device displays the received information on a user interface. The user can then take action based on the displayed information. Specifically, the user can act on the advice, contact the specialist organization, or join the community to interact with other users.
[0609] Specific examples
[0610] If a user types, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep due to work stress," this text data is sent from the device to the server. The server analyzes this data and extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep." The generative AI model (ChatGPT) then receives a prompt such as, "What should I do when I can't sleep due to work stress?" and generates advice. For example, advice such as "Take deep breaths to relax" or "Maintain a bedtime routine" is provided. At the same time, information about related specialist institutions is retrieved and provided to the user. Users with the same problem are also categorized, a community is created, and an invitation link is sent. This system allows users to receive appropriate advice and connect with specialist institutions and other users with the same problem.
[0611] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0655] (Application example 1)
[0656] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0657] With conventional systems, it was difficult to provide accurate advice to users regarding their concerns and emotions, and it was also difficult to form a community of people in the same situation. In particular, since there was no system to address the specific concerns of store employees and customers, these users tended to feel isolated and were unable to obtain effective solutions or psychological support.
[0658] 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.
[0659] In this invention, the server includes means for receiving text data of worries and emotions entered by a user, means for analyzing the received text data and extracting keywords and important phrases, means for using an artificial intelligence model to generate advice based on the extracted keywords and phrases, means for acquiring information on specialist institutions and support services corresponding to the generated advice, means for categorizing users with related worries and automatically generating communities where people in similar situations gather, means for providing users with the generated advice, information on specialist institutions, and an invitation link to join the community, and means for generating appropriate advice for worries and emotions entered by store employees and customers and providing related community information. This makes it possible to quickly provide appropriate advice and automatically generate related communities even for the specific worries faced by store employees and customers.
[0660] A "user" is an entity that uses the system to input worries and feelings and receive advice and community information.

[0679] These are the people who use the system to input their concerns and receive advice and access to the community. These include store employees and customers.
[0680] Program processing
[0681] The firmware and software configuration will be described.
[0682] Hardware:
[0683] Smartphones, tablets, etc. are used as input interfaces by users.
[0684] software:
[0685] This system uses the following software and services:
[0686] OpenAI's API: Used for natural language processing and advice generation.
[0687] HTTP request library (e.g. Requests): Used to retrieve community information.
[0688] Processing Description
[0689] The server performs a series of processes using the following means.
[0690] 1. Receive text data about worries and feelings:
[0691] The user inputs their "concerns" or "feelings" in natural language through the device. For example, they might input "I've been having trouble with stress from customer service lately." This text data is sent to the server.
[0692] 2. Text data analysis:
[0693] The server uses OpenAI's API and natural language processing technology to analyze the received text data. This process segments the text and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "customer service," "stress," and "troubled" are extracted.
[0694] 3. Generating Advice:
[0695] The server generates advice using an artificial intelligence model (e.g., GPT-3) based on the extracted keywords and phrases. The advice generated might be, for example, "Try practicing stress relief techniques. For example, you could try breathing exercises or taking short breaks."
[0696] 4. Providing information on professional organizations:
[0697] The server retrieves information from a database about specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice, such as information about clinics offering cognitive behavioral therapy.
[0698] 5. Categorizing users with related concerns and creating a community:
[0699] The server uses a clustering algorithm to categorize related users based on their concerns and advice. For example, it could create a category related to "stress in customer service" and automatically create a community of users with the same concerns.
[0700] 6. Feedback and Community Involvement:
[0701] The generated advice, information about the expert organization, and an invitation link to the community are sent to the user's terminal, allowing the user to receive the advice, inquire about the expert organization, or join the community.
[0702] Specific examples
[0703] When a user inputs a concern such as "I've been suffering from stress lately when working with customers," the following prompt is sent to the generative AI model:
[0704] Prompt (for analysis): "Analyze your worries and feelings and extract keywords: I've been having trouble with stress from serving customers lately."
[0705] Prompt (for advice): "Generate appropriate advice based on the keywords 'customer service, stress'."
[0706] This makes it possible to quickly provide appropriate advice for the specific concerns of store employees and customers, and automatically generate related communities.
[0707] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0708] Step 1:
[0709] The user uses a terminal to input their worries and feelings in natural language. For example, they might input text data such as, "Recently, I've been suffering from stress from customer service." This input text data is then sent from the terminal to the server.
[0710] Step 2:
[0711] The server uses OpenAI's API to analyze the received text data and performs natural language processing. This process tokenizes the input text and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "customer service," "stress," and "troubled" can be extracted.
[0712] Input: Text data from the user: "Recently, I've been suffering from stress from customer service."
[0713] Data processing: Text tokenization, keyword extraction
[0714] Output: Extracted keywords "customer service," "stress," and "troubled"
[0715] Step 3:
[0716] Based on the extracted keywords, the server uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) to generate appropriate advice, such as "Try practicing stress relief methods. For example, you could try breathing exercises or short breaks."
[0717] Input: Extracted keywords "customer service," "stress," "troubled"
[0718] Data Computation: Advice Generation with Generative AI Models
[0719] Output: Advice: "Try practicing stress reduction techniques, such as breathing exercises and taking short breaks."
[0720] Step 4:
[0721] The server retrieves information on specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice from a database, for example, "information on clinics that provide cognitive behavioral therapy."
[0722] Input: Generated advice: "Try practicing stress reduction techniques, such as breathing exercises and taking short breaks."
[0723] Data calculation: Retrieving professional agency information from databases
[0724] Output: Specialist information "Information on clinics offering cognitive behavioral therapy"
[0725] Step 5:
[0726] Based on the user's worry data and the generated advice, the server uses a clustering algorithm to categorize related users and automatically generate communities of users with the same worries. For example, it generates a community related to "stress in customer service."
[0727] Input: User's trouble data, generated advice
[0728] Data processing: Categorization using clustering algorithms
[0729] Output: Generated community "Community related to customer service stress"
[0730] Step 6:
[0731] The server sends the generated advice, information about the expert organization, and an invitation link to join the community to the user's device. The user receives this information and can then act on the advice, contact the expert organization, or join the community.
[0732] Input: Generated advice, professional information, community invite link
[0733] Data Computing: Formatting and Transmitting Information
[0734] Output: Display information on the user's device (advice, information on specialist institutions, community invitation links)
[0735] 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.
[0736] This invention is a system that delves deeply into the user's worries and emotions, provides appropriate advice, and automatically generates a community of people in similar situations.

For example, if stress levels are high, the server will provide advice including relaxation techniques such as "take deep breaths to relax" and "maintain a bedtime routine."
[0837] Providing information on specialized institutions
[0838] The server searches the database for information on specialist institutions and support services that can provide advice. For example, it retrieves information on clinics that offer cognitive behavioral therapy.
[0839] Categorizing users with similar circumstances and creating communities
[0840] The server categorizes related users using a clustering algorithm (e.g., K-means or DBSCAN) based on the user's worry and emotion data. Furthermore, for each cluster, the server automatically generates a community of users with related worries and emotions. For example, it generates a community for "stress management and sleep improvement."
[0841] Feedback and community engagement
[0842] The server prepares feedback data including the generated advice, information about the specialist organization, and an invitation link to join the community, and sends it to the user's terminal. The terminal displays the received feedback data to the user. The user checks the received information and, if necessary, follows the advice, contacts the specialist organization, or clicks the provided link to join the community.
[0843] Specific examples
[0844] Example: If the user enters "Sleep problems due to work stress"
[0845] 1. The user types into the terminal, "I haven't been able to sleep lately because of work stress."
[0846] 2. The device sends this text data to the server.
[0847] 3. The server analyzes the received text data and extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep."
[0848] 4. The server analyzes the text data using an emotion engine to recognize emotions such as anxiety and stress.
[0849] 5. The server queries the AI model to generate "stress reduction methods" and "sleep improvement advice," adjusting them based on emotions.
[0850] 6. The server generates advice such as "take a deep breath and relax" or "follow a bedtime routine."
[0851] 7. The server retrieves information about specialized institutions that provide cognitive behavioral therapy from the database and formats the information.

[0854] 10. The terminal displays this information to the user.
[0855] 11. The user follows the advice, consults with specialist authorities if necessary, and participates in the community.
[0856] An example of a prompt sentence is "Generate specific advice to reduce stress based on keywords entered by the user."
[0857] This system allows users to receive accurate and prompt advice on their worries and feelings, and they can also receive psychological support by interacting with other users who have the same worries and feelings.
[0858] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0859] Step 1:
[0860] The user inputs their worries and feelings into the device in natural language. For example, they might input, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep due to work stress." This becomes the input data. The device receives this input text data and sends it to the server as an HTTP request. This becomes the output data.
[0861] Step 2:
[0862] The server receives text data and stores it in a database. This data becomes input data. Based on the stored data, a text analysis module (e.g., Spacy or NLTK) is invoked to tokenize the received text data. The tokenized data becomes output data.
[0863] Step 3:
[0864] The server analyzes the tokenized data and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep" are extracted from text data. This is the input data, and the output data is a list of keywords as a result of the analysis.
[0865] Step 4:
[0866] The server uses an emotion engine (such as Affectiva or IBM Watson) to analyze the text data based on keywords and recognize the user's emotions. For example, emotions such as stress or anxiety are identified. This is the input data, and the emotion recognition results are the output data.
[0867] Step 5:
[0868] The server generates advice using a generative AI model (e.g., ChatGPT) based on the extracted keywords and the recognized emotions. Here, the server inputs prompt sentences, such as "How to reduce stress" or "Advice on improving sleep," into the AI model. The generated advice is the output data.
[0869] Step 6:
[0870] The server adjusts the advice content based on the emotional data and the generated advice. For example, if stress is high, it will emphasize relaxation techniques such as "taking deep breaths to relax" and "maintaining a bedtime routine." The adjusted advice is the output data.
[0871] Step 7:
[0872] The server searches a database for information on specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice. For example, it searches for "information on clinics that provide cognitive behavioral therapy." The information on specialist institutions is the output data.
[0873] Step 8:
[0874] The server categorizes related users using a clustering algorithm (e.g., K-means or DBSCAN) based on the user's concern and emotion data. This is the input data. For each cluster, it automatically generates a community of users with related concerns and emotions. This is the output data.
[0875] Step 9:
[0876] The server prepares feedback data including the generated advice, information on the professional organization, and an invitation link to join the community, and sends it to the user's terminal, which is output data.
[0877] Step 10:
[0878] The device displays the received feedback data to the user. The user confirms the received information, for example by following the displayed advice, contacting a specialist, or clicking a provided link to join a community. This is input data.
[0879] Through this series of steps, users can receive accurate and prompt advice on their worries and feelings, and can also receive psychological support by interacting with other users who have the same worries and feelings.
[0880] (Application example 2)
[0881] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0882] In modern society, it is important to provide appropriate support to the many people suffering from stress and worries, and to form communities where people share similar problems. However, previous systems have struggled to accurately analyze users' worries and emotions and generate appropriate advice, and have been inadequate in automatically generating communities or directing users to specialized institutions. Furthermore, they lacked the functionality to record and analyze users' emotions and worries on a daily basis. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a more effective and comprehensive support system.
[0883] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[0884] In this invention, the server includes a means for providing an interface for recording the user's emotions and worries on a daily basis, a means for analyzing text data entered by the user with an emotion analysis engine to recognize emotions, and a means for displaying generated advice on the smartphone screen. This allows users to continuously record their worries and emotions and receive appropriate advice based on that information. It also makes it easier for users to receive psychological support through interactions with other users with similar worries.
[0885] A "user" is an individual who uses the system to input their worries and feelings and receive advice and support.
[0886] "Text data" refers to data that includes character information entered by a user.
[0887] "Means for receiving" refers to a device or software that has the function of receiving data sent from a user and providing it for subsequent processing.
[0888] The "analyzing means" is a device or software that analyzes the received text data and extracts information such as meaning and emotion.
[0889] "Keywords and important phrases" are words or phrases in the text data that are recognized as having particularly important meanings.
[0890] An "artificial intelligence model" is an algorithm or program that allows a computer to automatically learn from data and generate judgments and advice.
[0891] "Advice" refers to advice or suggestions provided to users based on the results of the analysis.
[0892] "Specialized institutions and support services" are organizations and facilities that provide professional support to users regarding their worries and problems.
[0893] A "categorization tool" is software or algorithms used to group users with similar concerns or problems.
[0894] A "community" is a group of people in the same situation who come together to exchange information and provide support.
[0895] An "interface" is a screen or device that allows a user to input data into a system or receive output information.
[0896] An "emotion analysis engine" is software that analyzes and recognizes user emotions from text data.
[0897] "Means for displaying on the smartphone screen" refers to a function for visually presenting the generated advice or information on the smartphone display.
[0898] This invention is a system that analyzes text data entered by users about their worries and emotions, provides advice based on that data, and creates a community of people with the same worries. The system records users' emotions and worries daily and provides an interface for analyzing them. It also generates advice based on the analysis results and displays it on a smartphone screen.
[0899] The system consists of three main components:
[0900] 1. Server:
[0901] The server is centrally located and receives the data sent by users, analyzes it, and processes it.
[0902] The server is installed with a natural language processing (NLP) engine, a sentiment analysis engine, and artificial intelligence models for advice generation (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3 and ChatGPT).
[0903] Specifically, the text data received by the server is analyzed using an NLP engine (e.g., SpaCy or Google Cloud Natural Language API) to recognize emotions.
[0904] A sentiment analysis engine (e.g., Watson's Tone Analyzer) provides detailed analysis of the user's emotions.
[0905] An artificial intelligence model for generating advice generates advice based on the analysis results and provides data for displaying that advice on a smartphone screen.
[0906] 2. Terminal:
[0907] A terminal is a device that allows a user to input text data, including a smartphone, tablet, or PC.
[0908] The terminal transmits the input text data to the server and receives a response from the server.
[0909] Specifically, the user enters "I can't sleep lately because of work stress" into the text box and presses the send button. The device then sends this data to the server.
[0910] In response from the server, analysis results, advice, information on specialist institutions, and a link to join the community are displayed on the smartphone screen.
[0911] 3. User:
[0912] Users use this system to input their worries and feelings and receive support.
[0913] Users input their daily feelings and worries into the system, receive generated advice and information, and act based on it.
[0914] For example, if a user types, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep due to work stress," the server analyzes this text data, and the NLP engine extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep." The sentiment analysis engine recognizes the user's emotions as "anxiety" and "stress." The AI model then generates advice based on these keywords and emotions, suggesting things like "taking deep breaths to relax" and "maintaining a bedtime routine." It also provides information about related specialist organizations and encourages users to join a community where users with the same concerns gather.
[0915] To further illustrate this, here are some example prompts:
[0916] User said: I can't sleep lately because of work stress.
[0917] Generate appropriate advice based on that emotion.
[0918] This will allow users to continuously record their worries and feelings and receive appropriate advice based on that information. It will also make it easier for them to receive psychological support through interactions with other users who have similar worries.
[0919] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0920] Step 1:
[0921] A user inputs text data into a terminal.
[0922] Specifically, users use devices such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs to input their worries and feelings, such as "I haven't been able to sleep lately because of work stress," into the system's interface.
[0923] Input: Text data of worries and emotions
[0924] Output: The input text data
[0925] Step 2:
[0926] The terminal transmits the input text data to the server.
[0927] Specifically, the input text data (e.g., "I can't sleep lately because of work stress") is sent from the device to the server. This communication uses the Internet Protocol.
[0928] Input: Entered text data
[0929] Output: Text data sent to the server
[0930] Step 3:
[0931] The server stores the received text data and starts text analysis.
[0932] Specifically, the server uses an NLP engine (e.g., SpaCy or Google Cloud Natural Language API) to tokenize the received text data and extract keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep" are extracted.
[0933] Input: Transmitted text data
[0934] Output: Extracted keywords and phrases
[0935] Step 4:
[0936] The server analyzes the extracted keywords and phrases using a sentiment analysis engine to recognize the user's emotions.
[0937] Specifically, an emotion engine (e.g., Watson's Tone Analyzer) analyzes text data and identifies emotions such as anxiety and stress. For example, "anxiety" and "stress" are recognized.
[0938] Input: Extracted keywords or phrases
[0939] Output: Recognized emotion
[0940] Step 5:
[0941] The server generates advice using an artificial intelligence model based on the recognized emotions and keywords.
[0942] Specifically, a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's ChatGPT) generates advice based on the prompt, such as "take a deep breath and relax" or "maintain a bedtime routine."
[0943] Input: Recognized emotions and keywords
[0944] Output: Generated advice
[0945] Step 6:
[0946] The server formats the generated advice into a format suitable for display on the smartphone screen and sends it to the device.
[0947] Specifically, the server formats the advice content into an appropriate format, such as JSON, and sends it to the user's device.
[0948] Input: Generated advice
[0949] Output: Formatted advice data
[0950] Step 7:
[0951] The device will display on the screen the advice provided, information about specialist agencies, and an invitation to join the community.
[0952] Specifically, the device analyzes the data received from the server and visually displays it to the user. The user can then check the advice and information displayed on the screen and, if necessary, contact a specialist institution or join a community.
[0953] Input: formatted advice data, professional information, community links
[0954] Output: Advice and links displayed on the smartphone screen
[0955] 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.
[0956] 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.

The server analyzes this data and extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep." The generative AI model (ChatGPT) then receives a prompt such as, "What should I do when I can't sleep due to work stress?" and generates advice. For example, advice such as "Take deep breaths to relax" or "Maintain a bedtime routine" is provided. At the same time, information about related specialist institutions is retrieved and provided to the user. Users with the same problem are also categorized, a community is created, and an invitation link is sent. This system allows users to receive appropriate advice and connect with specialist institutions and other users with the same problem.

[1143] A device that provides an interface for users to input their worries and feelings. Specifically, this applies to PCs, smartphones, tablets, etc.
[1144] 3. User:
[1145] These are the people who use the system to input their concerns and receive advice and access to the community. These include store employees and customers.
[1146] Program processing
[1147] The firmware and software configuration will be described.
[1148] Hardware:
[1149] Smartphones, tablets, etc. are used as input interfaces by users.
[1150] software:
[1151] This system uses the following software and services:
[1152] OpenAI's API: Used for natural language processing and advice generation.
[1153] HTTP request library (e.g. Requests): Used to retrieve community information.
[1154] Processing Description
[1155] The server performs a series of processes using the following means.
[1156] 1. Receive text data about worries and feelings:
[1157] The user inputs their "concerns" or "feelings" in natural language through the device. For example, they might input "I've been having trouble with stress from customer service lately." This text data is sent to the server.
[1158] 2. Text data analysis:
[1159] The server uses OpenAI's API and natural language processing technology to analyze the received text data. This process segments the text and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "customer service," "stress," and "troubled" are extracted.
[1160] 3. Generating Advice:
[1161] The server generates advice using an artificial intelligence model (e.g., GPT-3) based on the extracted keywords and phrases. The advice generated might be, for example, "Try practicing stress relief techniques. For example, you could try breathing exercises or taking short breaks."
[1162] 4. Providing information on professional organizations:
[1163] The server retrieves information from a database about specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice, such as information about clinics offering cognitive behavioral therapy.
[1164] 5. Categorizing users with related concerns and creating a community:
[1165] The server uses a clustering algorithm to categorize related users based on their concerns and advice. For example, it could create a category related to "stress in customer service" and automatically create a community of users with the same concerns.
[1166] 6. Feedback and Community Involvement:
[1167] The generated advice, information about the expert organization, and an invitation link to the community are sent to the user's terminal, allowing the user to receive the advice, inquire about the expert organization, or join the community.
[1168] Specific examples
[1169] When a user inputs a concern such as "I've been suffering from stress lately when working with customers," the following prompt is sent to the generative AI model:
[1170] Prompt (for analysis): "Analyze your worries and feelings and extract keywords: I've been having trouble with stress from serving customers lately."
[1171] Prompt (for advice): "Generate appropriate advice based on the keywords 'customer service, stress'."
[1172] This makes it possible to quickly provide appropriate advice for the specific concerns of store employees and customers, and automatically generate related communities.
[1173] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1174] Step 1:
[1175] The user uses a terminal to input their worries and feelings in natural language. For example, they might input text data such as, "Recently, I've been suffering from stress from customer service." This input text data is then sent from the terminal to the server.
[1176] Step 2:
[1177] The server uses OpenAI's API to analyze the received text data and performs natural language processing. This process tokenizes the input text and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "customer service," "stress," and "troubled" can be extracted.
[1178] Input: Text data from the user: "Recently, I've been suffering from stress from customer service."
[1179] Data processing: Text tokenization, keyword extraction
[1180] Output: Extracted keywords "customer service," "stress," and "troubled"
[1181] Step 3:
[1182] Based on the extracted keywords, the server uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) to generate appropriate advice, such as "Try practicing stress relief methods. For example, you could try breathing exercises or short breaks."
[1183] Input: Extracted keywords "customer service," "stress," "troubled"
[1184] Data Computation: Advice Generation with Generative AI Models
[1185] Output: Advice: "Try practicing stress reduction techniques, such as breathing exercises and taking short breaks."
[1186] Step 4:
[1187] The server retrieves information on specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice from a database, for example, "information on clinics that provide cognitive behavioral therapy."
[1188] Input: Generated advice: "Try practicing stress reduction techniques, such as breathing exercises and taking short breaks."
[1189] Data calculation: Retrieving professional agency information from databases
[1190] Output: Specialist information "Information on clinics offering cognitive behavioral therapy"
[1191] Step 5:
[1192] Based on the user's worry data and the generated advice, the server uses a clustering algorithm to categorize related users and automatically generate communities of users with the same worries. For example, it generates a community related to "stress in customer service."
[1193] Input: User's trouble data, generated advice
[1194] Data processing: Categorization using clustering algorithms
[1195] Output: Generated community "Community related to customer service stress"
[1196] Step 6:
[1197] The server sends the generated advice, information about the expert organization, and an invitation link to join the community to the user's device. The user receives this information and can then act on the advice, contact the expert organization, or join the community.
[1198] Input: Generated advice, professional information, community invite link
[1199] Data Computing: Formatting and Transmitting Information
[1200] Output: Display information on the user's device (advice, information on specialist institutions, community invitation links)
[1201] 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.
[1202] This invention is a system that delves deeply into the user's worries and emotions, provides appropriate advice, and automatically generates a community of people in similar situations. This system incorporates an emotion engine to provide comprehensive support, including recognizing the emotions entered by the user. The operation of this system and the program processing are described below.

[1240] 11. The user follows the advice, consults with specialist authorities if necessary, and participates in the community.
[1241] This system allows users to receive appropriate advice regarding their worries and feelings, and they can receive psychological support by interacting with other users who have the same worries and feelings.
[1242] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1243] Step 1:
[1244] The user inputs their worries and feelings into the device in natural language. For example, they might input, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep because of work stress."
[1245] Step 2:
[1246] The terminal transmits the input text data to the server.
[1247] Step 3:
[1248] The server stores the received text data and starts the text analysis module to begin analysis.
[1249] Step 4:
[1250] The server uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to tokenize the text data and extract keywords and important phrases, such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep."
[1251] Step 5:
[1252] The server analyzes the extracted text data using an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions, such as "stress" and "anxiety."
[1253] Step 6:
[1254] The server sends a request to an artificial intelligence model (e.g., ChatGPT) to generate advice based on the extracted keywords and recognized emotions.
[1255] Step 7:
[1256] The server receives the advice returned by the AI model and adjusts the advice to match the user's emotions, for example, emphasizing "ways to reduce stress" and "ways to relax."
[1257] Step 8:
[1258] The server searches a database for information on specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice, for example, obtaining information on clinics that offer cognitive behavioral therapy.
[1259] Step 9:
[1260] The server uses a clustering algorithm to categorize related users based on their worries and emotions, for example, creating a category for "stress management and sleep improvement."
[1261] Step 10:
[1262] Based on categorized user data, the server automatically generates a community where users with the same concerns and feelings can gather.
[1263] Step 11:
[1264] The server prepares feedback data including the generated advice, information about the professional organization, and an invitation link to join the community, and transmits the feedback data to the user's terminal.
[1265] Step 12:
[1266] The terminal displays the received feedback data to the user.
[1267] Step 13:
[1268] The user reviews the information received and takes action on the advice if necessary, contacts a specialist organization, or joins a community.
[1269] Through this series of processes, users with worries or feelings can receive specific and accurate advice and can easily interact with other users who share the same worries or feelings, thereby freeing users from feelings of isolation and providing a sense of psychological security.
[1270] Example 2
[1271] 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."
[1272] There is a need for a system that allows users to receive appropriate advice and support for the worries and emotions they experience in their daily lives. However, conventional systems have difficulty providing accurate advice tailored to the user's emotions and individual circumstances, and have not been able to quickly create a community where users can interact with people in the same situation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a system that allows users to immediately feel reassured and receive advanced support.
[1273] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1299] Emotion recognition
[1300] The server analyzes the text data using an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions, such as stress or anxiety.
[1301] Generating Advice
[1302] The server generates advice using a generative AI model (such as ChatGPT) based on the extracted keywords and emotions. The server then adjusts the content of the advice based on the emotions. For example, if stress levels are high, the server will provide advice including relaxation techniques such as "take deep breaths to relax" and "maintain a bedtime routine."
[1303] Providing information on specialized institutions
[1304] The server searches the database for information on specialist institutions and support services that can provide advice. For example, it retrieves information on clinics that offer cognitive behavioral therapy.
[1305] Categorizing users with similar circumstances and creating communities
[1306] The server categorizes related users using a clustering algorithm (e.g., K-means or DBSCAN) based on the user's worry and emotion data. Furthermore, for each cluster, the server automatically generates a community of users with related worries and emotions. For example, it generates a community for "stress management and sleep improvement."
[1307] Feedback and community engagement
[1308] The server prepares feedback data including the generated advice, information about the specialist organization, and an invitation link to join the community, and sends it to the user's terminal. The terminal displays the received feedback data to the user. The user checks the received information and, if necessary, follows the advice, contacts the specialist organization, or clicks the provided link to join the community.
[1309] Specific examples
[1310] Example: If the user enters "Sleep problems due to work stress"
[1311] 1. The user types into the terminal, "I haven't been able to sleep lately because of work stress."
[1312] 2. The device sends this text data to the server.
[1313] 3. The server analyzes the received text data and extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep."
[1314] 4. The server analyzes the text data using an emotion engine to recognize emotions such as anxiety and stress.
[1315] 5. The server queries the AI model to generate "stress reduction methods" and "sleep improvement advice," adjusting them based on emotions.
[1316] 6. The server generates advice such as "take a deep breath and relax" or "follow a bedtime routine."
[1317] 7. The server retrieves information about specialized institutions that provide cognitive behavioral therapy from the database and formats the information.
[1318] 8. The server categorizes users who have worries or feelings related to "work stress" or "sleep disorders" and generates a community of people with similar worries.

[1320] 10. The terminal displays this information to the user.
[1321] 11. The user follows the advice, consults with specialist authorities if necessary, and participates in the community.
[1322] An example of a prompt sentence is "Generate specific advice to reduce stress based on keywords entered by the user."
[1323] This system allows users to receive accurate and prompt advice on their worries and feelings, and they can also receive psychological support by interacting with other users who have the same worries and feelings.
[1324] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1325] Step 1:
[1326] The user inputs their worries and feelings into the device in natural language. For example, they might input, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep due to work stress." This becomes the input data. The device receives this input text data and sends it to the server as an HTTP request. This becomes the output data.
[1327] Step 2:
[1328] The server receives text data and stores it in a database. This data becomes input data. Based on the stored data, a text analysis module (e.g., Spacy or NLTK) is invoked to tokenize the received text data. The tokenized data becomes output data.
[1329] Step 3:
[1330] The server analyzes the tokenized data and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep" are extracted from text data. This is the input data, and the output data is a list of keywords as a result of the analysis.
[1331] Step 4:
[1332] The server uses an emotion engine (such as Affectiva or IBM Watson) to analyze the text data based on keywords and recognize the user's emotions. For example, emotions such as stress or anxiety are identified. This is the input data, and the emotion recognition results are the output data.
[1333] Step 5:
[1334] The server generates advice using a generative AI model (e.g., ChatGPT) based on the extracted keywords and the recognized emotions. Here, the server inputs prompt sentences, such as "How to reduce stress" or "Advice on improving sleep," into the AI model. The generated advice is the output data.
[1335] Step 6:
[1336] The server adjusts the advice content based on the emotional data and the generated advice. For example, if stress is high, it will emphasize relaxation techniques such as "taking deep breaths to relax" and "maintaining a bedtime routine." The adjusted advice is the output data.
[1337] Step 7:
[1338] The server searches a database for information on specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice. For example, it searches for "information on clinics that provide cognitive behavioral therapy." The information on specialist institutions is the output data.
[1339] Step 8:
[1340] The server categorizes related users using a clustering algorithm (e.g., K-means or DBSCAN) based on the user's concern and emotion data. This is the input data. For each cluster, it automatically generates a community of users with related concerns and emotions. This is the output data.
[1341] Step 9:
[1342] The server prepares feedback data including the generated advice, information on the professional organization, and an invitation link to join the community, and sends it to the user's terminal, which is output data.
[1343] Step 10:
[1344] The device displays the received feedback data to the user. The user confirms the received information, for example by following the displayed advice, contacting a specialist, or clicking a provided link to join a community. This is input data.
[1345] Through this series of steps, users can receive accurate and prompt advice on their worries and feelings, and can also receive psychological support by interacting with other users who have the same worries and feelings.
[1346] (Application example 2)
[1347] 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."
[1348] In modern society, it is important to provide appropriate support to the many people suffering from stress and worries, and to form communities where people share similar problems. However, previous systems have struggled to accurately analyze users' worries and emotions and generate appropriate advice, and have been inadequate in automatically generating communities or directing users to specialized institutions. Furthermore, they lacked the functionality to record and analyze users' emotions and worries on a daily basis. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a more effective and comprehensive support system.
[1349] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[1350] In this invention, the server includes a means for providing an interface for recording the user's emotions and worries on a daily basis, a means for analyzing text data entered by the user with an emotion analysis engine to recognize emotions, and a means for displaying generated advice on the smartphone screen. This allows users to continuously record their worries and emotions and receive appropriate advice based on that information. It also makes it easier for users to receive psychological support through interactions with other users with similar worries.
[1351] A "user" is an individual who uses the system to input their worries and feelings and receive advice and support.
[1352] "Text data" refers to data that includes character information entered by a user.
[1353] "Means for receiving" refers to a device or software that has the function of receiving data sent from a user and providing it for subsequent processing.
[1354] The "analyzing means" is a device or software that analyzes the received text data and extracts information such as meaning and emotion.
[1355] "Keywords and important phrases" are words or phrases in the text data that are recognized as having particularly important meanings.
[1356] An "artificial intelligence model" is an algorithm or program that allows a computer to automatically learn from data and generate judgments and advice.
[1357] "Advice" refers to advice or suggestions provided to users based on the results of the analysis.
[1358] "Specialized institutions and support services" are organizations and facilities that provide professional support to users regarding their worries and problems.
[1359] A "categorization tool" is software or algorithms used to group users with similar concerns or problems.
[1360] A "community" is a group of people in the same situation who come together to exchange information and provide support.
[1361] An "interface" is a screen or device that allows a user to input data into a system or receive output information.
[1362] An "emotion analysis engine" is software that analyzes and recognizes user emotions from text data.
[1363] "Means for displaying on the smartphone screen" refers to a function for visually presenting the generated advice or information on the smartphone display.
[1364] This invention is a system that analyzes text data entered by users about their worries and emotions, provides advice based on that data, and creates a community of people with the same worries. The system records users' emotions and worries daily and provides an interface for analyzing them. It also generates advice based on the analysis results and displays it on a smartphone screen.
[1365] The system consists of three main components:
[1366] 1. Server:
[1367] The server is centrally located and receives the data sent by users, analyzes it, and processes it.
[1368] The server is installed with a natural language processing (NLP) engine, a sentiment analysis engine, and artificial intelligence models for advice generation (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3 and ChatGPT).
[1369] Specifically, the text data received by the server is analyzed using an NLP engine (e.g., SpaCy or Google Cloud Natural Language API) to recognize emotions.
[1370] A sentiment analysis engine (e.g., Watson's Tone Analyzer) provides detailed analysis of the user's emotions.
[1371] An artificial intelligence model for generating advice generates advice based on the analysis results and provides data for displaying that advice on a smartphone screen.
[1372] 2. Terminal:
[1373] A terminal is a device that allows a user to input text data, including a smartphone, tablet, or PC.
[1374] The terminal transmits the input text data to the server and receives a response from the server.
[1375] Specifically, the user enters "I can't sleep lately because of work stress" into the text box and presses the send button. The device then sends this data to the server.
[1376] In response from the server, analysis results, advice, information on specialist institutions, and a link to join the community are displayed on the smartphone screen.
[1377] 3. User:
[1378] Users use this system to input their worries and feelings and receive support.
[1379] Users input their daily feelings and worries into the system, receive generated advice and information, and act based on it.
[1380] For example, if a user types, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep due to work stress," the server analyzes this text data, and the NLP engine extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep." The sentiment analysis engine recognizes the user's emotions as "anxiety" and "stress." The AI model then generates advice based on these keywords and emotions, suggesting things like "taking deep breaths to relax" and "maintaining a bedtime routine." It also provides information about related specialist organizations and encourages users to join a community where users with the same concerns gather.
[1381] To further illustrate this, here are some example prompts:
[1382] User said: I can't sleep lately because of work stress.
[1383] Generate appropriate advice based on that emotion.
[1384] This will allow users to continuously record their worries and feelings and receive appropriate advice based on that information. It will also make it easier for them to receive psychological support through interactions with other users who have similar worries.
[1385] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1386] Step 1:
[1387] A user inputs text data into a terminal.
[1388] Specifically, users use devices such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs to input their worries and feelings, such as "I haven't been able to sleep lately because of work stress," into the system's interface.
[1389] Input: Text data of worries and emotions
[1390] Output: The input text data
[1391] Step 2:
[1392] The terminal transmits the input text data to the server.
[1393] Specifically, the input text data (e.g., "I can't sleep lately because of work stress") is sent from the device to the server. This communication uses the Internet Protocol.
[1394] Input: Entered text data
[1395] Output: Text data sent to the server
[1396] Step 3:
[1397] The server stores the received text data and starts text analysis.
[1398] Specifically, the server uses an NLP engine (e.g., SpaCy or Google Cloud Natural Language API) to tokenize the received text data and extract keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep" are extracted.
[1399] Input: Transmitted text data
[1400] Output: Extracted keywords and phrases
[1401] Step 4:
[1402] The server analyzes the extracted keywords and phrases using a sentiment analysis engine to recognize the user's emotions.
[1403] Specifically, an emotion engine (e.g., Watson's Tone Analyzer) analyzes text data and identifies emotions such as anxiety and stress. For example, "anxiety" and "stress" are recognized.
[1404] Input: Extracted keywords or phrases
[1405] Output: Recognized emotion
[1406] Step 5:
[1407] The server generates advice using an artificial intelligence model based on the recognized emotions and keywords.
[1408] Specifically, a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's ChatGPT) generates advice based on the prompt, such as "take a deep breath and relax" or "maintain a bedtime routine."
[1409] Input: Recognized emotions and keywords
[1410] Output: Generated advice
[1411] Step 6:
[1412] The server formats the generated advice into a format suitable for display on the smartphone screen and sends it to the device.
[1413] Specifically, the server formats the advice content into an appropriate format, such as JSON, and sends it to the user's device.
[1414] Input: Generated advice
[1415] Output: Formatted advice data
[1416] Step 7:
[1417] The device will display on the screen the advice provided, information about specialist agencies, and an invitation to join the community.
[1418] Specifically, the device analyzes the data received from the server and visually displays it to the user. The user can then check the advice and information displayed on the screen and, if necessary, contact a specialist institution or join a community.
[1419] Input: formatted advice data, professional information, community links
[1420] Output: Advice and links displayed on the smartphone screen
[1421] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314.

For example, it retrieves information about clinics that offer cognitive behavioral therapy. The retrieved information is formatted as the clinic's address, contact information, opening hours, etc.
[1538] Categorizing users with similar circumstances and creating communities
[1539] The server uses a clustering algorithm (e.g., k-means clustering) to categorize related users based on the user's concerns and advice. For example, it could create categories related to "work stress" and "sleep disorders," and automatically create a community of users with the same concerns.
[1540] Feedback and community engagement
[1541] The server sends the generated advice, information about the specialist organization, and an invitation link to the community to the user's device. The device displays the received information on a user interface. The user can then take action based on the displayed information. Specifically, the user can act on the advice, contact the specialist organization, or join the community to interact with other users.
[1542] Specific examples
[1543] If a user types, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep due to work stress," this text data is sent from the device to the server. The server analyzes this data and extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep." The generative AI model (ChatGPT) then receives a prompt such as, "What should I do when I can't sleep due to work stress?" and generates advice. For example, advice such as "Take deep breaths to relax" or "Maintain a bedtime routine" is provided. At the same time, information about related specialist institutions is retrieved and provided to the user. Users with the same problem are also categorized, a community is created, and an invitation link is sent. This system allows users to receive appropriate advice and connect with specialist institutions and other users with the same problem.

[1618] This system uses the following software and services:
[1619] OpenAI's API: Used for natural language processing and advice generation.
[1620] HTTP request library (e.g. Requests): Used to retrieve community information.
[1621] Processing Description
[1622] The server performs a series of processes using the following means.
[1623] 1. Receive text data about worries and feelings:
[1624] The user inputs their "concerns" or "feelings" in natural language through the device. For example, they might input "I've been having trouble with stress from customer service lately." This text data is sent to the server.
[1625] 2. Text data analysis:
[1626] The server uses OpenAI's API and natural language processing technology to analyze the received text data. This process segments the text and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "customer service," "stress," and "troubled" are extracted.
[1627] 3. Generating Advice:
[1628] The server generates advice using an artificial intelligence model (e.g., GPT-3) based on the extracted keywords and phrases. The advice generated might be, for example, "Try practicing stress relief techniques. For example, you could try breathing exercises or taking short breaks."
[1629] 4. Providing information on professional organizations:
[1630] The server retrieves information from a database about specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice, such as information about clinics offering cognitive behavioral therapy.
[1631] 5. Categorizing users with related concerns and creating a community:
[1632] The server uses a clustering algorithm to categorize related users based on their concerns and advice. For example, it could create a category related to "stress in customer service" and automatically create a community of users with the same concerns.
[1633] 6. Feedback and Community Involvement:
[1634] The generated advice, information about the expert organization, and an invitation link to the community are sent to the user's terminal, allowing the user to receive the advice, inquire about the expert organization, or join the community.
[1635] Specific examples
[1636] When a user inputs a concern such as "I've been suffering from stress lately when working with customers," the following prompt is sent to the generative AI model:
[1637] Prompt (for analysis): "Analyze your worries and feelings and extract keywords: I've been having trouble with stress from serving customers lately."
[1638] Prompt (for advice): "Generate appropriate advice based on the keywords 'customer service, stress'."
[1639] This makes it possible to quickly provide appropriate advice for the specific concerns of store employees and customers, and automatically generate related communities.
[1640] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1641] Step 1:
[1642] The user uses a terminal to input their worries and feelings in natural language. For example, they might input text data such as, "Recently, I've been suffering from stress from customer service." This input text data is then sent from the terminal to the server.
[1643] Step 2:
[1644] The server uses OpenAI's API to analyze the received text data and performs natural language processing. This process tokenizes the input text and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "customer service," "stress," and "troubled" can be extracted.
[1645] Input: Text data from the user: "Recently, I've been suffering from stress from customer service."
[1646] Data processing: Text tokenization, keyword extraction
[1647] Output: Extracted keywords "customer service," "stress," and "troubled"
[1648] Step 3:
[1649] Based on the extracted keywords, the server uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-3) to generate appropriate advice, such as "Try practicing stress relief methods. For example, you could try breathing exercises or short breaks."
[1650] Input: Extracted keywords "customer service," "stress," "troubled"
[1651] Data Computation: Advice Generation with Generative AI Models
[1652] Output: Advice: "Try practicing stress reduction techniques, such as breathing exercises and taking short breaks."
[1653] Step 4:
[1654] The server retrieves information on specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice from a database, for example, "information on clinics that provide cognitive behavioral therapy."
[1655] Input: Generated advice: "Try practicing stress reduction techniques, such as breathing exercises and taking short breaks."
[1656] Data calculation: Retrieving professional agency information from databases
[1657] Output: Specialist information "Information on clinics offering cognitive behavioral therapy"
[1658] Step 5:
[1659] Based on the user's worry data and the generated advice, the server uses a clustering algorithm to categorize related users and automatically generate communities of users with the same worries. For example, it generates a community related to "stress in customer service."
[1660] Input: User's trouble data, generated advice
[1661] Data processing: Categorization using clustering algorithms
[1662] Output: Generated community "Community related to customer service stress"
[1663] Step 6:
[1664] The server sends the generated advice, information about the expert organization, and an invitation link to join the community to the user's device. The user receives this information and can then act on the advice, contact the expert organization, or join the community.
[1665] Input: Generated advice, professional information, community invite link
[1666] Data Computing: Formatting and Transmitting Information
[1667] Output: Display information on the user's device (advice, information on specialist institutions, community invitation links)
[1668] 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.
[1669] This invention is a system that delves deeply into the user's worries and emotions, provides appropriate advice, and automatically generates a community of people in similar situations. This system incorporates an emotion engine to provide comprehensive support, including recognizing the emotions entered by the user. The operation of this system and the program processing are described below.

[1720] Step 6:
[1721] The server sends a request to an artificial intelligence model (e.g., ChatGPT) to generate advice based on the extracted keywords and recognized emotions.
[1722] Step 7:
[1723] The server receives the advice returned by the AI model and adjusts the advice to match the user's emotions, for example, emphasizing "ways to reduce stress" and "ways to relax."
[1724] Step 8:
[1725] The server searches a database for information on specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice, for example, obtaining information on clinics that offer cognitive behavioral therapy.
[1726] Step 9:
[1727] The server uses a clustering algorithm to categorize related users based on their worries and emotions, for example, creating a category for "stress management and sleep improvement."
[1728] Step 10:
[1729] Based on categorized user data, the server automatically generates a community where users with the same concerns and feelings can gather.
[1730] Step 11:
[1731] The server prepares feedback data including the generated advice, information about the professional organization, and an invitation link to join the community, and transmits the feedback data to the user's terminal.
[1732] Step 12:
[1733] The terminal displays the received feedback data to the user.
[1734] Step 13:
[1735] The user reviews the information received and takes action on the advice if necessary, contacts a specialist organization, or joins a community.
[1736] Through this series of processes, users with worries or feelings can receive specific and accurate advice and can easily interact with other users who share the same worries or feelings, thereby freeing users from feelings of isolation and providing a sense of psychological security.
[1737] Example 2
[1738] 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."
[1739] There is a need for a system that allows users to receive appropriate advice and support for the worries and emotions they experience in their daily lives. However, conventional systems have difficulty providing accurate advice tailored to the user's emotions and individual circumstances, and have not been able to quickly create a community where users can interact with people in the same situation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a system that allows users to immediately feel reassured and receive advanced support.
[1740] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1766] Emotion recognition
[1767] The server analyzes the text data using an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions, such as stress or anxiety.
[1768] Generating Advice
[1769] The server generates advice using a generative AI model (such as ChatGPT) based on the extracted keywords and emotions. The server then adjusts the content of the advice based on the emotions. For example, if stress levels are high, the server will provide advice including relaxation techniques such as "take deep breaths to relax" and "maintain a bedtime routine."
[1770] Providing information on specialized institutions
[1771] The server searches the database for information on specialist institutions and support services that can provide advice. For example, it retrieves information on clinics that offer cognitive behavioral therapy.
[1772] Categorizing users with similar circumstances and creating communities
[1773] The server categorizes related users using a clustering algorithm (e.g., K-means or DBSCAN) based on the user's worry and emotion data. Furthermore, for each cluster, the server automatically generates a community of users with related worries and emotions. For example, it generates a community for "stress management and sleep improvement."
[1774] Feedback and community engagement
[1775] The server prepares feedback data including the generated advice, information about the specialist organization, and an invitation link to join the community, and sends it to the user's terminal. The terminal displays the received feedback data to the user. The user checks the received information and, if necessary, follows the advice, contacts the specialist organization, or clicks the provided link to join the community.
[1776] Specific examples
[1777] Example: If the user enters "Sleep problems due to work stress"
[1778] 1. The user types into the terminal, "I haven't been able to sleep lately because of work stress."
[1779] 2. The device sends this text data to the server.
[1780] 3. The server analyzes the received text data and extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep."
[1781] 4. The server analyzes the text data using an emotion engine to recognize emotions such as anxiety and stress.
[1782] 5. The server queries the AI model to generate "stress reduction methods" and "sleep improvement advice," adjusting them based on emotions.
[1783] 6. The server generates advice such as "take a deep breath and relax" or "follow a bedtime routine."
[1784] 7. The server retrieves information about specialized institutions that provide cognitive behavioral therapy from the database and formats the information.
[1785] 8. The server categorizes users who have worries or feelings related to "work stress" or "sleep disorders" and generates a community of people with similar worries.

[1787] 10. The terminal displays this information to the user.
[1788] 11. The user follows the advice, consults with specialist authorities if necessary, and participates in the community.
[1789] An example of a prompt sentence is "Generate specific advice to reduce stress based on keywords entered by the user."
[1790] This system allows users to receive accurate and prompt advice on their worries and feelings, and they can also receive psychological support by interacting with other users who have the same worries and feelings.
[1791] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1792] Step 1:
[1793] The user inputs their worries and feelings into the device in natural language. For example, they might input, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep due to work stress." This becomes the input data. The device receives this input text data and sends it to the server as an HTTP request. This becomes the output data.
[1794] Step 2:
[1795] The server receives text data and stores it in a database. This data becomes input data. Based on the stored data, a text analysis module (e.g., Spacy or NLTK) is invoked to tokenize the received text data. The tokenized data becomes output data.
[1796] Step 3:
[1797] The server analyzes the tokenized data and extracts keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep" are extracted from text data. This is the input data, and the output data is a list of keywords as a result of the analysis.
[1798] Step 4:
[1799] The server uses an emotion engine (such as Affectiva or IBM Watson) to analyze the text data based on keywords and recognize the user's emotions. For example, emotions such as stress or anxiety are identified. This is the input data, and the emotion recognition results are the output data.
[1800] Step 5:
[1801] The server generates advice using a generative AI model (e.g., ChatGPT) based on the extracted keywords and the recognized emotions. Here, the server inputs prompt sentences, such as "How to reduce stress" or "Advice on improving sleep," into the AI model. The generated advice is the output data.
[1802] Step 6:
[1803] The server adjusts the advice content based on the emotional data and the generated advice. For example, if stress is high, it will emphasize relaxation techniques such as "taking deep breaths to relax" and "maintaining a bedtime routine." The adjusted advice is the output data.
[1804] Step 7:
[1805] The server searches a database for information on specialist institutions and support services that correspond to the generated advice. For example, it searches for "information on clinics that provide cognitive behavioral therapy." The information on specialist institutions is the output data.
[1806] Step 8:
[1807] The server categorizes related users using a clustering algorithm (e.g., K-means or DBSCAN) based on the user's concern and emotion data. This is the input data. For each cluster, it automatically generates a community of users with related concerns and emotions. This is the output data.
[1808] Step 9:
[1809] The server prepares feedback data including the generated advice, information on the professional organization, and an invitation link to join the community, and sends it to the user's terminal, which is output data.
[1810] Step 10:
[1811] The device displays the received feedback data to the user. The user confirms the received information, for example by following the displayed advice, contacting a specialist, or clicking a provided link to join a community. This is input data.
[1812] Through this series of steps, users can receive accurate and prompt advice on their worries and feelings, and can also receive psychological support by interacting with other users who have the same worries and feelings.
[1813] (Application example 2)
[1814] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1815] In modern society, it is important to provide appropriate support to the many people suffering from stress and worries, and to form communities where people share similar problems. However, previous systems have struggled to accurately analyze users' worries and emotions and generate appropriate advice, and have been inadequate in automatically generating communities or directing users to specialized institutions. Furthermore, they lacked the functionality to record and analyze users' emotions and worries on a daily basis. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a more effective and comprehensive support system.
[1816] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[1817] In this invention, the server includes a means for providing an interface for recording the user's emotions and worries on a daily basis, a means for analyzing text data entered by the user with an emotion analysis engine to recognize emotions, and a means for displaying generated advice on the smartphone screen. This allows users to continuously record their worries and emotions and receive appropriate advice based on that information. It also makes it easier for users to receive psychological support through interactions with other users with similar worries.
[1818] A "user" is an individual who uses the system to input their worries and feelings and receive advice and support.
[1819] "Text data" refers to data that includes character information entered by a user.
[1820] "Means for receiving" refers to a device or software that has the function of receiving data sent from a user and providing it for subsequent processing.
[1821] The "analyzing means" is a device or software that analyzes the received text data and extracts information such as meaning and emotion.
[1822] "Keywords and important phrases" are words or phrases in the text data that are recognized as having particularly important meanings.
[1823] An "artificial intelligence model" is an algorithm or program that allows a computer to automatically learn from data and generate judgments and advice.
[1824] "Advice" refers to advice or suggestions provided to users based on the results of the analysis.
[1825] "Specialized institutions and support services" are organizations and facilities that provide professional support to users regarding their worries and problems.
[1826] A "categorization tool" is software or algorithms used to group users with similar concerns or problems.
[1827] A "community" is a group of people in the same situation who come together to exchange information and provide support.
[1828] An "interface" is a screen or device that allows a user to input data into a system or receive output information.
[1829] An "emotion analysis engine" is software that analyzes and recognizes user emotions from text data.
[1830] "Means for displaying on the smartphone screen" refers to a function for visually presenting the generated advice or information on the smartphone display.
[1831] This invention is a system that analyzes text data entered by users about their worries and emotions, provides advice based on that data, and creates a community of people with the same worries. The system records users' emotions and worries daily and provides an interface for analyzing them. It also generates advice based on the analysis results and displays it on a smartphone screen.
[1832] The system consists of three main components:
[1833] 1. Server:
[1834] The server is centrally located and receives the data sent by users, analyzes it, and processes it.
[1835] The server is installed with a natural language processing (NLP) engine, a sentiment analysis engine, and artificial intelligence models for advice generation (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3 and ChatGPT).
[1836] Specifically, the text data received by the server is analyzed using an NLP engine (e.g., SpaCy or Google Cloud Natural Language API) to recognize emotions.
[1837] A sentiment analysis engine (e.g., Watson's Tone Analyzer) provides detailed analysis of the user's emotions.
[1838] An artificial intelligence model for generating advice generates advice based on the analysis results and provides data for displaying that advice on a smartphone screen.
[1839] 2. Terminal:
[1840] A terminal is a device that allows a user to input text data, including a smartphone, tablet, or PC.
[1841] The terminal transmits the input text data to the server and receives a response from the server.
[1842] Specifically, the user enters "I can't sleep lately because of work stress" into the text box and presses the send button. The device then sends this data to the server.
[1843] In response from the server, analysis results, advice, information on specialist institutions, and a link to join the community are displayed on the smartphone screen.
[1844] 3. User:
[1845] Users use this system to input their worries and feelings and receive support.
[1846] Users input their daily feelings and worries into the system, receive generated advice and information, and act based on it.
[1847] For example, if a user types, "Recently, I've been unable to sleep due to work stress," the server analyzes this text data, and the NLP engine extracts the keywords "work," "stress," and "can't sleep." The sentiment analysis engine recognizes the user's emotions as "anxiety" and "stress." The AI model then generates advice based on these keywords and emotions, suggesting things like "taking deep breaths to relax" and "maintaining a bedtime routine." It also provides information about related specialist organizations and encourages users to join a community where users with the same concerns gather.
[1848] To further illustrate this, here are some example prompts:
[1849] User said: I can't sleep lately because of work stress.
[1850] Generate appropriate advice based on that emotion.
[1851] This will allow users to continuously record their worries and feelings and receive appropriate advice based on that information. It will also make it easier for them to receive psychological support through interactions with other users who have similar worries.
[1852] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1853] Step 1:
[1854] A user inputs text data into a terminal.
[1855] Specifically, users use devices such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs to input their worries and feelings, such as "I haven't been able to sleep lately because of work stress," into the system's interface.
[1856] Input: Text data of worries and emotions
[1857] Output: The input text data
[1858] Step 2:
[1859] The terminal transmits the input text data to the server.
[1860] Specifically, the input text data (e.g., "I can't sleep lately because of work stress") is sent from the device to the server. This communication uses the Internet Protocol.
[1861] Input: Entered text data
[1862] Output: Text data sent to the server
[1863] Step 3:
[1864] The server stores the received text data and starts text analysis.
[1865] Specifically, the server uses an NLP engine (e.g., SpaCy or Google Cloud Natural Language API) to tokenize the received text data and extract keywords and important phrases. For example, keywords such as "work," "stress," and "can't sleep" are extracted.
[1866] Input: Transmitted text data
[1867] Output: Extracted keywords and phrases
[1868] Step 4:
[1869] The server analyzes the extracted keywords and phrases using a sentiment analysis engine to recognize the user's emotions.
[1870] Specifically, an emotion engine (e.g., Watson's Tone Analyzer) analyzes text data and identifies emotions such as anxiety and stress. For example, "anxiety" and "stress" are recognized.
[1871] Input: Extracted keywords or phrases
[1872] Output: Recognized emotion
[1873] Step 5:
[1874] The server generates advice using an artificial intelligence model based on the recognized emotions and keywords.
[1875] Specifically, a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's ChatGPT) generates advice based on the prompt, such as "take a deep breath and relax" or "maintain a bedtime routine."
[1876] Input: Recognized emotions and keywords
[1877] Output: Generated advice
[1878] Step 6:
[1879] The server formats the generated advice into a format suitable for display on the smartphone screen and sends it to the device.
[1880] Specifically, the server formats the advice content into an appropriate format, such as JSON, and sends it to the user's device.
[1881] Input: Generated advice
[1882] Output: Formatted advice data
[1883] Step 7:
[1884] The device will display on the screen the advice provided, information about specialist agencies, and an invitation to join the community.
[1885] Specifically, the device analyzes the data received from the server and visually displays it to the user. The user can then check the advice and information displayed on the screen and, if necessary, contact a specialist institution or join a community.
[1886] Input: formatted advice data, professional information, community links
[1887] Output: Advice and links displayed on the smartphone screen
[1888] 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.
[1889] 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.
[1890] 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.
[1891] 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.
[1892] 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.
[1893] 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.
[1894] 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).
[1895] 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.
[1896] 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."
[1897] 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.
[1898] 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).
[1899] 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.
[1900] 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.
[1901] 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.
[1902] 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.
[1903] 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.
[1904] 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.
[1905] 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.
[1906] 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.
