[0117] This invention is a system that provides users with the latest information on CO2 reduction activities based on their location information and rewards them for their contribution to CO2 reduction through their actions. This system uses a generative AI model to constantly provide the latest information and help users easily take action.
[0118] Overview of program processing
[0119] This system consists of three main components: a server, a terminal, and a user. The server processes data using a generative AI model and a database. A terminal is a device such as a smartphone or PC that is used by a user. Users access the system through an application or website to provide location information and enter their activities.
[0120] Hardware and Software
[0121] The server can process large amounts of data using a cloud-based infrastructure. Specific examples include cloud services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS®) and Google® Cloud Platform (GCP). The generative AI model uses natural language processing technology. Examples include OpenAI®'s GPT-3® and BERT. Devices that can be used include smartphones running iOS or Android®, and PCs running Windows or macOS®.
[0122] Data processing and calculation
[0123] The server first collects information on CO2 reduction activities from various data sources, including news sites, environmental organization websites, and social media. The collected data is analyzed by a generative AI model to extract activity information related to the user's location. The extracted information is then converted into a user-friendly format using natural language processing technology. Finally, the converted information is sent to the user's device and displayed.
[0124] When a user performs a CO2 reduction activity, they input the activity details and amount into the application. The device sends this input information to the server, which then evaluates the activity using generated AI. Based on the evaluation, reward points are awarded to the user's account. Points can be viewed on the user's device.
[0125] Specific examples
[0126] Example 1: When a user participates in a tree planting activity
[0127] 1. A user accesses the application and receives information about participating in a tree planting weekend.
[0128] 2. The user goes to a designated location and plants 10 trees.
[0129] 3. After the activity, report the number of trees planted in the application and enter "I planted 10 trees today."
[0130] 4. The device sends the user's input to the server, which evaluates it using the generating AI and assigns 10 points to the user's account.
[0131] 5. Users will see the reward points added in the app and receive a notification.
[0132] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0133] You are a user. This weekend, a tree planting event will be held in your town. Please participate and contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. Please participate in the tree planting event and report it on this system after the event.
[0134] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows users to always obtain the latest information on CO2 reduction activities, take concrete actions based on that information, and receive rewards for their results, thereby encouraging active participation by users and contributing to global warming countermeasures.

[0335] The "means for notifying the user of the reward points" is a function that notifies the user that the calculated reward points have been added to the user's account.
[0336] The present invention is a system that provides users with up-to-date information on CO2 reduction activities based on their location information, helping them take action and contribute to CO2 reduction. Furthermore, it uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotional state and adjusts the way information is presented to increase the user's motivation. An embodiment of this system is described below.
[0337] First, a user accesses the system's application or website and logs in. With the user's consent, the device collects and transmits current location information (longitude and latitude) to the server.
[0338] The server uses a generative AI (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4 (registered trademark)) to collect information on CO2 reduction activities from various data sources, such as news sites, websites of environmental protection organizations, and social media. This information collection is performed on a regular schedule. The generative AI analyzes the collected data and extracts activity information related to the user's location information.
[0339] The server then uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's voice and facial expression data to recognize their emotional state in real time. The voice recognition tool is Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API, and the facial expression recognition tool is Face++. Based on the acquired emotional state, the server adjusts how the collected information is presented.

Furthermore, it uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotional state and adjusts the way information is presented to increase the user's motivation. An embodiment of this system is described below.
[0801] First, a user accesses the system's application or website and logs in. With the user's consent, the device collects and transmits current location information (longitude and latitude) to the server.
[0802] The server uses a generative AI (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4) to collect information on CO2 reduction activities from various data sources, such as news sites, environmental protection organization websites, and social media. This information collection is performed on a regular schedule. The generative AI analyzes the collected data and extracts activity information related to the user's location.

Furthermore, it uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotional state and adjusts the way information is presented to increase the user's motivation. An embodiment of this system is described below.
[1265] First, a user accesses the system's application or website and logs in. With the user's consent, the device collects and transmits current location information (longitude and latitude) to the server.
[1266] The server uses a generative AI (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4) to collect information on CO2 reduction activities from various data sources, such as news sites, environmental protection organization websites, and social media. This information collection is performed on a regular schedule. The generative AI analyzes the collected data and extracts activity information related to the user's location.

[1642] 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.
[1643] This invention is a system that provides the latest information on CO2 reduction activities based on the user's location information, evaluates the user's contribution to CO2 reduction through their actions with rewards, and further increases the user's motivation by recognizing the user's emotional state using an emotion engine and adjusting the way information is presented.By combining generative AI and an emotion engine, this system always provides the latest information and helps users take action easily.
[1644] Program processing
[1645] 1. Obtaining user location information
[1646] A user accesses an application or website in the system and logs in.
[1647] With the user's consent, the device collects current location information (longitude and latitude).
[1648] The device sends the location information it collects to the server.
[1649] 2. Collection and processing of the latest information
[1650] The server uses generated AI to collect information on CO2 reduction activities around the world from a variety of data sources (news sites, environmental organization websites, social media, etc.).
[1651] The generation AI analyzes the collected information and extracts activity information related to the user's location.
[1652] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice data and facial expression data to recognize their emotional state, and adjusts the way the collected information is presented to suit the user's emotional state.
[1653] For example, if the user is tired, provide a brief, encouraging message, and if they are proactive, provide a detailed, action-oriented message.
[1654] 3. Providing information and encouraging action
[1655] The server sends the converted information to the user's terminal.
[1656] The terminal displays the received information to the user so that the user can view it.
[1657] For example, a notification might appear saying, "Tree planting activities are taking place in your town this weekend. Join in and help reduce CO2 emissions!"
[1658] The emotion engine monitors the user's emotional state and provides information at the appropriate time.
[1659] 4. Recording behavior and calculating rewards
[1660] Based on the information provided by the user, the user can carry out specific CO2 reduction activities (e.g., tree planting activities or participating in environmental protection events).
[1661] After the activity, the user inputs the specific amount and content of the activity (e.g., number of trees planted) into the system.
[1662] The terminal transmits the input activity information to the server.
[1663] The server uses generated AI to evaluate the amount of activity entered by the user and calculates the contribution to CO2 reduction.
[1664] The server calculates reward points based on the evaluation results and grants them to the user's account.
[1665] The terminal notifies the user of the reward points and allows the user to check the points.
[1666] Specific examples
[1667] Example 1: When a user participates in a tree planting activity
[1668] 1. User Activities
[1669] The user accesses the application and receives information about participating in a tree planting activity over the weekend, along with an encouraging message from the emotion engine.
[1670] Go to the designated location and plant 10 trees.
[1671] After the activity, participants enter the number of trees planted in the application and report, "I planted 10 trees today."
[1672] 2. System evaluation and rewards
[1673] The terminal sends the user's input to the server.
[1674] The server uses generated AI to evaluate the amount of CO2 reduction equivalent to planting 10 trees and awards, for example, 10 points.
[1675] The server notifies the user of the points and sends a message praising the user's efforts through the emotion engine.
[1676] Reward points will be added to your user account and you will receive a notification.
[1677] This system allows users to always receive the latest information on CO2 reduction activities, take specific actions based on that information, and receive rewards for their results. Furthermore, by using an emotion engine to provide information that corresponds to the user's emotional state, it is possible to motivate users and encourage more proactive CO2 reduction actions.
[1678] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1679] Step 1:
[1680] A user logs into an application or website on the system.
[1681] Step 2:
[1682] With the user's consent, the device collects current location information (longitude and latitude).
[1683] Step 3:
[1684] The device sends the location information it collects to the server.
[1685] Step 4:
[1686] The server uses generated AI to collect information on CO2 reduction activities around the world from multiple data sources (news sites, environmental organization websites, social media, etc.).
[1687] Step 5:
[1688] The generation AI analyzes the collected information and extracts activity information related to the user's location.
[1689] Step 6:
[1690] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice data and facial expression data to recognize their emotional state.
[1691] For example, the user provides facial expressions and voice through the application's camera and microphone, and the emotion engine evaluates the user's current emotional state.
[1692] Step 7:
[1693] The server converts the collected activity information into a user-friendly format based on the user's emotional state.
[1694] For example, if the user is tired, it generates a brief, encouraging message (e.g., "Why not relax and take part in a simple tree-planting event nearby?"), while if the user is proactive, it generates a detailed, actionable message (e.g., "There's a large-scale tree-planting event near your home. Plant lots of trees and contribute to reducing CO2 emissions!").
[1695] Step 8:
[1696] The server sends the converted information to the user's terminal.
[1697] Step 9:
[1698] The terminal displays the received information to the user so that the user can view it.
[1699] Step 10:
[1700] Based on the displayed information, the user participates in CO2 reduction activities (e.g., tree planting activities or environmental protection events).
[1701] Step 11:
[1702] After the activity, the user inputs the specific amount and content of the activity (e.g., number of trees planted) into the application.
[1703] Step 12:
[1704] The terminal transmits the input activity information to the server.
[1705] Step 13:
[1706] The server uses generated AI to evaluate the amount of activity entered by the user and calculates the contribution to CO2 reduction.
[1707] Step 14:
[1708] The server calculates reward points based on the evaluation results and grants them to the user's account.
[1709] Step 15:
[1710] The terminal notifies the user of the reward points and allows the user to check the points.
[1711] The emotion engine also reassess the user's emotional state and sends a message praising their efforts (e.g., "Amazing! Your contribution will save the planet!").
[1712] Through these steps, the system provides users with customized information on CO2 reduction activities based on their location information and emotional state, and encourages them to contribute to the environment by evaluating and rewarding their actions.

[1729] The present invention is a system that provides users with up-to-date information on CO2 reduction activities based on their location information, helping them take action and contribute to CO2 reduction. Furthermore, it uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotional state and adjusts the way information is presented to increase the user's motivation. An embodiment of this system is described below.
[1730] First, a user accesses the system's application or website and logs in. With the user's consent, the device collects and transmits current location information (longitude and latitude) to the server.
[1731] The server uses a generative AI (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4) to collect information on CO2 reduction activities from various data sources, such as news sites, environmental protection organization websites, and social media. This information collection is performed on a regular schedule. The generative AI analyzes the collected data and extracts activity information related to the user's location.
[1732] The server then uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's voice and facial expression data to recognize their emotional state in real time. The voice recognition tool is Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API, and the facial expression recognition tool is Face++. Based on the acquired emotional state, the server adjusts how the collected information is presented.

[1735] Furthermore, if the user participates in CO2 reduction activities based on the information provided, the amount of activity (e.g., number of trees planted) is reported within the application. The device sends this information to the server, which uses a generation AI to evaluate the amount of activity entered. The server calculates the contribution to CO2 reduction and calculates reward points, which are then added to the user's account. The user is then notified that the reward points have been added.
[1736] Through this series of processes, users can always receive the latest information on CO2 reduction activities, take specific actions based on that information, and receive rewards for their results.In addition, by using the emotion engine to provide information according to the user's emotional state, users' motivation is enhanced, and more proactive CO2 reduction actions can be expected.

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.
[1882] 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.
[1883] 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.
[1884] 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.
[1885] 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.
[1886] 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.
[1887] 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).
[1888] 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.
[1889] 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."
[1890] 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.
[1891] 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).
[1892] 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.
[1893] 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.
[1894] 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.
[1895] 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.
[1896] 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.
[1897] 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.
[1898] 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.
[1899] 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.
