[0240] (Application example 1)

[0241] 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."

[0242] Previous systems supporting end-of-life preparations lacked comprehensive support to help users smoothly proceed with end-of-life preparations without feeling emotional burden. They also lacked support for end-of-life preparations in an interactive and intuitive virtual space. This made it difficult for users to efficiently prepare for the end.

[0243] 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.

[0244] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for chatting and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for displaying responses generated by the generation AI, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings to organize, means for linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal, means for providing an interface for proceeding with end-of-life preparations in a virtual space, means for chatting and consulting with the generation AI in a virtual store, means for organizing the list of possessions entered by the user in connection with the virtual platform, and means for providing legal information regarding end-of-life preparations and encouraging consultation with an expert. This allows users to efficiently proceed with end-of-life preparations in an interactive and intuitive virtual space while reducing emotional burden.

[0245] "Means for entering and saving user information" refers to a function that allows users to enter personal information such as name, age, and contact details and save it in a database, etc.

[0246] "Generative AI" is artificial intelligence that generates natural language responses based on user input.

[0247] "Means for chatting and consulting with users" refers to a function that uses generation AI to chat and consult with users.

[0248] "Means for displaying the response generated by the generation AI" refers to a function that displays the response created by the generation AI on the user's screen.

[0249] The "means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list for sorting out belongings" is a function for generating a list for sorting out belongings based on the information on possessions entered by the user.

[0250] "Means of linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal" is a function that shares the generated estate sorting list with an external platform and supports purchasing and disposal on that platform.

[0251] "Means for providing an interface for advancing ending preparations within a virtual space" is a function that provides an interface for users to efficiently advance ending preparations within a virtual space.

[0252] "Means for chatting and consulting with generated AI within a virtual store" refers to a function that allows users to chat and consult with generated AI within the virtual store environment.

[0253] "Means for organizing a list of possessions entered by a user in conjunction with a virtual platform" is a function for efficiently organizing a list of possessions entered by a user in conjunction with a virtual platform.

[0254] "Means of providing legal information regarding preparations for the end of a marriage and encouraging consultation with an expert" is a function that provides users with legal information regarding preparations for the end of a marriage and encourages them to consult with a lawyer or legal expert as necessary.

[0255] To implement this invention, the following system configuration and processing are required: The system includes a server, a user terminal, a generation AI, a database, and a function for linking with an external platform.

[0256] First, a user accesses the system using a terminal and enters user information. This includes personal information such as name, age, and contact details. The server receives this information and stores it in a database. For example, if a user enters "Yamada Taro, 65 years old, Osaka@example.com," this information is stored in the database and a user profile page is generated.

[0257] Next, when a user wants to chat or ask for advice with the generation AI, the user opens a chat interface on their device and inputs the content of their consultation or question. The server receives this input and sends it to the generation AI. The generation AI analyzes the input, generates an appropriate response, and returns it to the server. The server displays the generated response on the user's device. For example, if the user asks, "Please tell me about the inheritance procedures," the generation AI will respond, "Inheritance procedures require the identification of heirs, the creation of an estate inventory, and procedures in accordance with tax law."

[0258] When a user creates a list of belongings, they enter the information about their possessions into the chat interface. The server receives this information and generates a list of belongings using AI. The generated list is linked to an external platform to support the sale or disposal of items. For example, if a user enters "piano, bookshelf, painting," a list of belongings is generated from this information and sent to an external sales platform.

[0259] Furthermore, if a user has legal questions about preparing for the ending, they can enter them into the chat interface. The AI ​​analyzes the question, generates general legal information and recommendations, and provides them to the user via the server. It also provides information encouraging the user to consult with a lawyer or other legal professional, if necessary. For example, if a user asks, "How do I write a will?" the AI ​​responds, "A will must be written in accordance with the law. We recommend consulting a lawyer or notary public," and also provides a link to a nearby legal consultation center.

[0260] The following hardware and software are required to implement this system. The hardware used includes a server and user devices (smartphones, PCs, and head-mounted displays). The software used includes Flask (web framework), OpenAI API (generative AI), and a database system.

[0261] For example, the following prompts are used for the generated AI:

[0262] Please briefly explain the inheritance procedure.

[0263] "How do I create a will?"

[0264] This allows users to interactively and intuitively proceed with ending preparations within a virtual space, reducing the emotional burden and enabling them to complete preparations efficiently.

[0265] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0266] Step 1:

[0267] A user accesses the system using a terminal and goes to the new registration page. The user enters information such as name, age, and contact details into the registration form displayed on the terminal and presses the submit button. The entered information is sent to the server. The input includes the user's personal information, which is then saved in a database.

[0268] Step 2:

[0269] The server receives the user information and stores it in a database. It then generates a user profile page and displays it on the device based on the information retrieved from the database. Data processing involves formatting the personal information entered and storing it in the database. The output is a user profile page.

[0270] Step 3:

[0271] The user clicks the "Chat / Consult with AI" button on the profile page. The server receives this click event and displays the chat interface on the device. The input is the click event, and the output is the display of the chat interface.

[0272] Step 4:

[0273] The user inputs the content of their consultation or question into the chat interface and presses the send button. The terminal sends this input to the server. The input includes the user's consultation content or question, and is sent to the server.

[0274] Step 5:

[0275] The server sends the received consultation content to the generative AI model, which then analyzes the input content and generates an appropriate response. Data processing includes analyzing the input text and generating an appropriate response. The output is the generated response.

[0276] Step 6:

[0277] The server displays the response received from the generation AI on the user's screen. The terminal displays the received response in a form that the user can see. The generated response text is displayed as output.

[0278] Step 7:

[0279] To create a list of possessions, the user inputs possession information into the chat interface. The device sends this information to the server. The input is possession information, which is then sent to the server.

[0280] Step 8:

[0281] Based on the received property information, the server's generation AI generates a list of belongings to sort. This list is linked to an external platform. Data processing involves sorting the input property information and compiling it into a list of belongings. The output is an organized list of belongings.

[0282] Step 9:

[0283] If the user has legal questions about the ending preparation, the user enters the questions into the chat interface. The terminal sends the questions to the server. The input includes legal questions, which are then sent to the server.

[0284] Step 10:

[0285] The server sends the received legal question to a generative AI model, which then generates general legal information and recommendations for the question. Data processing includes analyzing the input question and generating legal information. The output is the generated legal information.

[0286] Step 11:

[0287] The server displays the legal information and recommendations received from the generation AI on the user's screen. The device displays the received information in a visible format to the user. The generated legal information and recommendations are displayed as output.

[0288] In this way, the user can interactively and efficiently prepare for the ending within the virtual space.

[0289] 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.

[0290] This invention relates to a system that recognizes the user's emotions and adjusts responses based on those emotions to facilitate the preparation for the ending. This system combines an emotion engine and generative AI to support the preparation for the ending while reducing the psychological burden on the user.

[0414] This system is designed to allow users to efficiently prepare for the ending while reducing the emotional burden. The collaboration between the emotion engine and generative AI provides an environment where users can work with peace of mind.

[0415] Example 2

[0416] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0417] In modern society, there is a demand for efficient end-of-life preparations that reduce emotional burden. However, conventional methods place a heavy psychological burden on users, making efficient preparations difficult. Furthermore, it is difficult to provide appropriate information for specific legal questions or generate responses that reflect the user's emotional state. Therefore, a comprehensive support system is needed that allows users to prepare for end-of-life with peace of mind.

[0418] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0419] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for interacting with and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion engine, means for displaying the generated response, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings sorting, and means for linking the generated list to an external platform and supporting purchasing and disposal. This allows the user to efficiently proceed with end-of-life preparations while reducing psychological burden.

[0420] "User Information" means basic personal data about a user, such as name, age, and contact details.

[0421] "Generative AI" is a system that uses artificial intelligence technology to generate natural language dialogue and responses from input data.

[0422] "Dialogue and consultation" is the process in which the generative AI provides appropriate responses to questions and comments entered by the user.

[0423] An "emotion engine" is a technology that analyzes a user's emotional state from input data and responds appropriately based on that.

[0424] The "list of belongings" is a list of items owned by the user, and includes information necessary for sorting the belongings.

[0425] A "personal effects sorting list" is a list that organizes information such as how to dispose of personal effects and where to dispose of them, based on the list of possessions.

[0426] An "external platform" is an online service or software system used to receive the estate inventory and support its management and disposal.

[0427] "Legal professionals" refers to professions such as lawyers and notaries who have specialized knowledge of the law.

[0428] "Purchases and disposals" refers to the act of purchasing or disposing of items on the possessions list.

[0429] This invention is a system for supporting preparations for the end of life, which enables users to efficiently proceed with preparations for the end of life while reducing their psychological burden. The system includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for interacting with and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion engine, means for displaying the generated response, means for receiving an input list of possessions and generating a list of belongings to sort, means for linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal, means for providing general legal information and recommendations in response to specific legal questions, and means for providing information encouraging consultation with a legal professional.

[0430] To implement this system, hardware and software such as a server, terminal, emotion engine, and generative AI are used. Specifically, the server contains a database that stores user information and the generated estate sorting list. The emotion engine analyzes input data and voice tone from the user to identify the user's emotional state. The generative AI generates an appropriate response to the user based on the analysis results of the emotion engine.

[0431] A specific example of this system will be described below.

[0432] When a user accesses the new registration page, enters information such as name, age, and contact details, and presses the submit button, the entered information is sent to the server. The server saves the information in a database and generates and displays the user's profile page. If a user enters "Yamada Hanako, 60 years old, yamada@example.com" and presses the register button, the server receives this information, saves it in a database, and generates a profile page.

[0433] Next, when the user clicks the "Chat and Consult with AI" button on their profile page, the server displays a chat interface. When the user types, "I'd like to know about inheritance procedures," the device sends the information to the server. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's level of tension, and the AI ​​generates and displays a response saying, "Inheritance procedures require the identification of heirs, the creation of an estate inventory, and procedures in accordance with tax law. We will support you so that you can proceed with peace of mind."

[0434] If a user inputs "I want to start sorting out my belongings," the server receives that information and uses generative AI to generate questions to create a list of belongings to sort out. If a user inputs "TV, refrigerator, and jewelry" into their possessions list, the server analyzes the information using an emotion engine, generates a list of belongings to sort out, and connects it to an external platform (e.g., a "virtual marketplace"). The user is then given the option to sell or dispose of their items.

[0435] Furthermore, if a user asks, "How do I write a will?", the server uses an emotion engine to recognize anxiety, and the generative AI responds by saying, "A will must be written in accordance with the law. We recommend consulting a lawyer or notary public." It also provides links to nearby legal consultation centers.

[0436] In this way, the system provides comprehensive support to allow users to prepare for the ending with peace of mind.

[0437] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0438] Step 1:

[0439] A user accesses the new registration page and enters information such as name, age, and contact details. The device sends this information to the server. The inputs are user name, age, contact details, etc., and the output is sent to the server.

[0440] Step 2:

[0441] The server stores the received user information in a database. Specifically, it adds a new record to the database and processes the data to store the user's basic information. The input is user information data, and the output is the user information stored in the database.

[0442] Step 3:

[0443] The server generates a user profile page and displays it to the user. The profile page reflects the information entered. The input is the user information retrieved from the database, and the output is the generated profile page.

[0444] Step 4:

[0445] The user clicks the "Chat / Consult with AI" button on the profile page. The device sends this click event to the server. The input is the click event, and the output is an event notification to the server.

[0446] Step 5:

[0447] The server receives the click event and displays the chat interface. The input is the click event data, and the output is the display of the chat interface.

[0448] Step 6:

[0449] The user inputs the consultation content or question (for example, "I would like to know about inheritance procedures") and sends it. The terminal sends the input content to the server. The input is text data of the consultation content, and the output is the transmission of text data to the server.

[0450] Step 7:

[0451] The server analyzes the received consultation content using an emotion engine to identify the user's emotional state. The input is the text data of the consultation content, and the output is the analyzed emotional data.

[0452] Step 8:

[0453] The server then uses the analyzed emotional data to generate an appropriate response using a generative AI. The input is the emotional data, and the output is the generated response text.

[0454] Step 9:

[0455] The server displays the generated response in a chat interface, with the generated response text as input and the display in the chat interface as output.

[0456] Step 10:

[0457] The user inputs and sends "I want to start sorting out the belongings of the deceased" to the terminal. The terminal sends this input to the server. The input is text data about sorting out the belongings of the deceased, and the output is the transmission of the text data to the server.

[0458] Step 11:

[0459] Based on the received information, the server generates questions for the AI ​​to create a list of belongings sorting. The input is the text data of the belongings sorting request, and the output is the generated question text.

[0460] Step 12:

[0461] The server displays the generated question in a chat interface and asks for the user's answer. The input is the question text, and the output is the question displayed in the chat interface.

[0462] Step 13:

[0463] The user inputs and submits a list of possessions (e.g., "TV, refrigerator, jewelry"). The terminal sends this input to the server. The input is the text data of the possessions list, and the output is the transmission of the text data to the server.

[0464] Step 14:

[0465] The server analyzes the input possession list using an emotion engine and takes appropriate action based on the user's emotional state. The input is the possession list text data, and the output is the analyzed emotion data and data on which the appropriate action is taken.

[0466] Step 15:

[0467] The server uses a generation AI to generate an estate sorting list based on the property list. The input is the property list data, and the output is the generated estate sorting list.

[0468] Step 16:

[0469] The server then links the generated estate sorting list to an external platform, providing users with the option to sell or discard their items. The input is estate sorting list data, and the output is data linkage to the external platform.

[0470] Step 17:

[0471] The user asks, "How do I create a will?" and the device sends the question to the server. The input is the text data of the legal question, and the output is the transmission to the server.

[0472] Step 18:

[0473] The server receives legal questions and the generative AI generates general legal information and recommendations. The input is the legal question data and the output is the generated legal information text.

[0474] Step 19:

[0475] The server displays the generated legal information in a chat interface and also provides information such as a link to consult with a legal professional. The input is the legal information text, and the output is the display in the chat interface and the provision of a link.

[0476] Step 20:

[0477] The user consults the provided legal information and links and, if necessary, consults a legal expert. The input is the user's browsing behavior and the output is access to legal expertise.

[0478] Through the above processing steps, the user can efficiently prepare for the ending while reducing the emotional burden.

[0479] (Application example 2)

[0480] 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."

[0481] Conventional ending preparation systems rarely take into account the user's emotions or psychological state, making it difficult to reduce the user's mental burden. Furthermore, they are unable to make appropriate suggestions based on the user's emotions, making it difficult to improve user satisfaction, especially in services such as food delivery, where emotions have a significant impact. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can recognize the user's emotions and make appropriate suggestions based on them.

[0482] 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.

[0483] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for chatting and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for displaying responses generated by the generation AI, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings for sorting, means for linking the generated list to an external platform and supporting purchasing and disposal, means for recognizing the user's emotions and generating suggestions based on the emotions, and means for displaying the suggestions based on the emotions and allowing the user to confirm and select. This makes it possible to recognize the user's emotional state in real time and make personalized suggestions, thereby reducing mental burden and providing high satisfaction.

[0484] "User information" refers to data necessary for providing services, such as a user's personal information and profile information.

[0485] "Generative AI" is a function that uses artificial intelligence technology to automatically create dialogue with users and specific suggestions.

[0486] A "bequest sorting list" is a list that sorts out unnecessary items from the user's possessions and organizes them for disposal or purchase.

[0487] "Emotion recognition" is a technology that analyzes a user's emotional state from their facial expressions, voice, etc., and obtains the results.

[0488] "Suggestions" are specific suggested actions or options provided by the generative AI based on the user's input and emotions.

[0489] "External Platform" refers to online services provided by third parties that allow users to link their generated lists.

[0490] "Chat and Consult" is a function that uses generative AI to converse with users and respond to their questions and inquiries.

[0491] "Legal Information" means information containing legal knowledge and recommendations related to preparing for an ending.

[0492] A "personalized delivery experience" means suggesting the most appropriate menu and services based on the user's emotional state, providing a delivery experience tailored to the user.

[0493] The present invention relates to a system that recognizes the user's emotions and supports ending preparation while reducing the emotional burden. This system exchanges information between a server, a terminal, and a user, and provides the following functions:

[0494] 1. User registration and profile creation

[0495] When a user accesses the new registration page, the server provides a registration form where the user enters information such as name, age, and contact details.

[0496] The user enters the necessary information into the terminal and presses the send button, which then sends the entered information to the server.

[0497] The server stores the received information in a database and generates and displays a profile page for the user.

[0498] For example, a user enters "Yamada Hanako, age 60, yamada@example.com" into a new registration form and presses the registration button. The server receives this information, stores it in the database, and generates a profile page for "Yamada Hanako."

[0499] 2. AI chat and consultation function

[0500] Users click the "Chat and consult with AI" button on their profile page.

[0501] The server receives the click event and displays the chat interface.

[0502] The user inputs the consultation details and questions into the terminal and sends them to the server.

[0503] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the input and tone of voice to determine the user's emotional state.

[0504] The server generates an appropriate response based on the emotional state identified by the emotion engine using the generation AI.

[0505] The server displays the generated response in the chat interface.

[0506] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays it in the chat interface.

[0507] For example, if a user types, "I'd like to know about inheritance procedures," the emotion engine analyzes the user's input and tone of voice to detect their level of tension. The AI ​​then responds, "Inheritance procedures require determining the heirs, creating an estate inventory, and completing procedures in accordance with tax law. We'll support you so you can proceed with peace of mind."

[0508] 3. Emotion-based menu suggestions

[0509] The user has launched a food delivery application and has enabled the camera and microphone.

[0510] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice data.

[0511] The server uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the user's emotions from the acquired data and obtains the results.

[0512] Based on the emotion recognition results, the server uses a generative AI to generate menu recommendations for the user. The generated suggestions are based on the user's emotional state.

[0513] The device will display the suggested menu on the app interface for the user to review and select.

[0514] For example, if a user inputs "I'm a little tired, so I'd like a soothing meal," the emotion recognition engine will read "fatigue" and "the desire for relaxation." The generative AI will then suggest, "How about some herbal tea and a light pasta to soothe your fatigue?" This allows the user to select the optimal menu according to their emotional state.

[0515] An example of a prompt sentence would be, "The user is expressing the emotion 'fatigue'. Please suggest a menu that you would like to use to relax. Please also tell us the specific menu and the reason why." By providing this to the generation AI, it is possible to receive appropriate suggestions.

[0516] To realize such a system, the hardware required includes a smartphone, smart glasses, or a head-mounted display. An internet connection, a camera, and a microphone are also required. The software used utilizes an emotion recognition engine (e.g., Microsoft® Azure® Emotion API, Amazon Rekognition) or generative AI (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4®). Databases such as MySQL and Firebase can be used to properly store and manage information.

[0517] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0518] Step 1:

[0519] A user launches a food delivery application and enables the camera and microphone. As input, the user's video and audio data are captured. As output, these data are passed to the next processing step.

[0520] Step 2:

[0521] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice in real time, taking the user's video and audio data as input and sending this data to an emotion recognition engine as output.

[0522] Step 3:

[0523] The server uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the facial and voice data sent from the device to identify the user's emotional state. It receives video and voice data as input and processes the data by analyzing facial movements and voice tone. The output is the user's emotional state (e.g., fatigue, joy, anxiety, etc.).

[0524] Step 4:

[0525] The server sends the user's emotional state as input to the generative AI, which then generates appropriate menu suggestions. The prompt is "The user is expressing their emotion as 'fatigue'. Please recommend a menu for relaxation. Please also tell us the specific menu and the reason why." and uses a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4). The output is a specific menu suggestion based on the user's emotions.

[0526] Step 5:

[0527] The server sends the menu suggestions obtained from the generation AI to the terminal. The suggestions obtained from the generation AI are input, and the suggestion data is sent to the terminal as output.

[0528] Step 6:

[0529] The terminal displays the menu suggested to the user on the interface, receiving the menu suggestion data sent from the server as input and displaying it in a form that can be visually confirmed by the user as output.

[0530] Step 7:

[0531] The user reviews the displayed menu and makes a selection, which is sent to the server, which receives the suggested menu as input and the selected menu as output.

[0532] Step 8:

[0533] The server receives the user's selection and stores it in the database. It receives the user's selection data as input and registers the selection as a data operation. As output, the order information is stored in the database.

[0534] Step 9:

[0535] The server arranges delivery based on the stored order information. It reads the order information from the database as input and sends the delivery arrangement information to the delivery person as output.

[0536] This will enable personalized food delivery based on the user's emotions.

[0537] 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.

[0538] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (registered trademark) (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0675] Examples:

[0676] The user types, "I would like to know about inheritance procedures," and submits the request. The server passes the input to the generative AI model, which generates a response that says, "Inheritance procedures require the determination of heirs, the creation of an estate inventory, and procedures based on tax law," and displays it to the user.

[0677] 3. Creating a list of belongings to sort and linking with external platforms

[0678] The user types "I want to start sorting out my belongings" on the chat interface and submits the message. The server then uses the generation AI to present questions to the user about their main possessions (e.g., "What are the main pieces of furniture and valuables in your home?"). The user then enters and submits information about their possessions. The server then uses the generation AI to create a list of belongings sorted out based on this information and presents it to the user. The server also links this list to an external platform (e.g., a virtual market) to support purchasing and disposal.

[0679] Examples:

[0680] The user enters "TV, refrigerator, jewelry" into the list of possessions and submits it. The server receives this, and the generation AI creates a list of possessions. At the same time, this list is sent to a virtual market, where the user has the option to sell or dispose of the items.

[0681] 4. Support for legal requirements

[0682] The user inputs a specific legal question (for example, about inheritance procedures). The server then uses the AI ​​to provide general legal information and recommendations (for example, "Your will must be written in accordance with the law. We recommend that you consult with a lawyer or notary public") and display them to the user. Furthermore, the server also provides information encouraging the user to consult with a lawyer, notary public, or other professional, if necessary (for example, a link to a nearby legal consultation center).

[0683] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to efficiently prepare for the end of life without specialized knowledge, and supports them in easily completing legal procedures and sorting out their belongings. In addition, by linking with external platforms, the sale and disposal of possessions can be smoothly carried out, significantly reducing the overall burden on users.

[0758] Through these steps, this system allows users to efficiently prepare for the ending even without specialized knowledge.

[0759] (Application example 1)

[0760] 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."

[0761] Previous systems supporting end-of-life preparations lacked comprehensive support to help users smoothly proceed with end-of-life preparations without feeling emotional burden. They also lacked support for end-of-life preparations in an interactive and intuitive virtual space. This made it difficult for users to efficiently prepare for the end.

[0762] 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.

[0763] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for chatting and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for displaying responses generated by the generation AI, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings to organize, means for linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal, means for providing an interface for proceeding with end-of-life preparations in a virtual space, means for chatting and consulting with the generation AI in a virtual store, means for organizing the list of possessions entered by the user in connection with the virtual platform, and means for providing legal information regarding end-of-life preparations and encouraging consultation with an expert. This allows users to efficiently proceed with end-of-life preparations in an interactive and intuitive virtual space while reducing emotional burden.

[0764] "Means for entering and saving user information" refers to a function that allows users to enter personal information such as name, age, and contact details and save it in a database, etc.

[0765] "Generative AI" is artificial intelligence that generates natural language responses based on user input.

[0766] "Means for chatting and consulting with users" refers to a function that uses generation AI to chat and consult with users.

[0767] "Means for displaying the response generated by the generation AI" refers to a function that displays the response created by the generation AI on the user's screen.

[0768] The "means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list for sorting out belongings" is a function for generating a list for sorting out belongings based on the information on possessions entered by the user.

[0769] "Means of linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal" is a function that shares the generated estate sorting list with an external platform and supports purchasing and disposal on that platform.

[0770] "Means for providing an interface for advancing ending preparations within a virtual space" is a function that provides an interface for users to efficiently advance ending preparations within a virtual space.

[0771] "Means for chatting and consulting with generated AI within a virtual store" refers to a function that allows users to chat and consult with generated AI within the virtual store environment.

[0772] "Means for organizing a list of possessions entered by a user in conjunction with a virtual platform" is a function for efficiently organizing a list of possessions entered by a user in conjunction with a virtual platform.

[0773] "Means of providing legal information regarding preparations for the end of a marriage and encouraging consultation with an expert" is a function that provides users with legal information regarding preparations for the end of a marriage and encourages them to consult with a lawyer or legal expert as necessary.

[0774] To implement this invention, the following system configuration and processing are required: The system includes a server, a user terminal, a generation AI, a database, and a function for linking with an external platform.

[0775] First, a user accesses the system using a terminal and enters user information. This includes personal information such as name, age, and contact details. The server receives this information and stores it in a database. For example, if a user enters "Yamada Taro, 65 years old, Osaka@example.com," this information is stored in the database and a user profile page is generated.

[0776] Next, when a user wants to chat or ask for advice with the generation AI, the user opens a chat interface on their device and inputs the content of their consultation or question. The server receives this input and sends it to the generation AI. The generation AI analyzes the input, generates an appropriate response, and returns it to the server. The server displays the generated response on the user's device. For example, if the user asks, "Please tell me about the inheritance procedures," the generation AI will respond, "Inheritance procedures require the identification of heirs, the creation of an estate inventory, and procedures in accordance with tax law."

[0777] When a user creates a list of belongings, they enter the information about their possessions into the chat interface. The server receives this information and generates a list of belongings using AI. The generated list is linked to an external platform to support the sale or disposal of items. For example, if a user enters "piano, bookshelf, painting," a list of belongings is generated from this information and sent to an external sales platform.

[0778] Furthermore, if a user has legal questions about preparing for the ending, they can enter them into the chat interface. The AI ​​analyzes the question, generates general legal information and recommendations, and provides them to the user via the server. It also provides information encouraging the user to consult with a lawyer or other legal professional, if necessary. For example, if a user asks, "How do I write a will?" the AI ​​responds, "A will must be written in accordance with the law. We recommend consulting a lawyer or notary public," and also provides a link to a nearby legal consultation center.

[0779] The following hardware and software are required to implement this system. The hardware used includes a server and user devices (smartphones, PCs, and head-mounted displays). The software used includes Flask (web framework), OpenAI API (generative AI), and a database system.

[0780] For example, the following prompts are used for the generated AI:

[0781] Please briefly explain the inheritance procedure.

[0782] "How do I create a will?"

[0783] This allows users to interactively and intuitively proceed with ending preparations within a virtual space, reducing the emotional burden and enabling them to complete preparations efficiently.

[0784] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0785] Step 1:

[0786] A user accesses the system using a terminal and goes to the new registration page. The user enters information such as name, age, and contact details into the registration form displayed on the terminal and presses the submit button. The entered information is sent to the server. The input includes the user's personal information, which is then saved in a database.

[0787] Step 2:

[0788] The server receives the user information and stores it in a database. It then generates a user profile page and displays it on the device based on the information retrieved from the database. Data processing involves formatting the personal information entered and storing it in the database. The output is a user profile page.

[0789] Step 3:

[0790] The user clicks the "Chat / Consult with AI" button on the profile page. The server receives this click event and displays the chat interface on the device. The input is the click event, and the output is the display of the chat interface.

[0791] Step 4:

[0792] The user inputs the content of their consultation or question into the chat interface and presses the send button. The terminal sends this input to the server. The input includes the user's consultation content or question, and is sent to the server.

[0793] Step 5:

[0794] The server sends the received consultation content to the generative AI model, which then analyzes the input content and generates an appropriate response. Data processing includes analyzing the input text and generating an appropriate response. The output is the generated response.

[0795] Step 6:

[0796] The server displays the response received from the generation AI on the user's screen. The terminal displays the received response in a form that the user can see. The generated response text is displayed as output.

[0797] Step 7:

[0798] To create a list of possessions, the user inputs possession information into the chat interface. The device sends this information to the server. The input is possession information, which is then sent to the server.

[0799] Step 8:

[0800] Based on the received property information, the server's generation AI generates a list of belongings to sort. This list is linked to an external platform. Data processing involves sorting the input property information and compiling it into a list of belongings. The output is an organized list of belongings.

[0801] Step 9:

[0802] If the user has legal questions about the ending preparation, the user enters the questions into the chat interface. The terminal sends the questions to the server. The input includes legal questions, which are then sent to the server.

[0803] Step 10:

[0804] The server sends the received legal question to a generative AI model, which then generates general legal information and recommendations for the question. Data processing includes analyzing the input question and generating legal information. The output is the generated legal information.

[0805] Step 11:

[0806] The server displays the legal information and recommendations received from the generation AI on the user's screen. The device displays the received information in a visible format to the user. The generated legal information and recommendations are displayed as output.

[0807] In this way, the user can interactively and efficiently prepare for the ending within the virtual space.

[0808] 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.

[0809] This invention relates to a system that recognizes the user's emotions and adjusts responses based on those emotions to facilitate the preparation for the ending. This system combines an emotion engine and generative AI to support the preparation for the ending while reducing the psychological burden on the user.

[0934] Example 2

[0935] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0936] In modern society, there is a demand for efficient end-of-life preparations that reduce emotional burden. However, conventional methods place a heavy psychological burden on users, making efficient preparations difficult. Furthermore, it is difficult to provide appropriate information for specific legal questions or generate responses that reflect the user's emotional state. Therefore, a comprehensive support system is needed that allows users to prepare for end-of-life with peace of mind.

[0937] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0938] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for interacting with and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion engine, means for displaying the generated response, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings sorting, and means for linking the generated list to an external platform and supporting purchasing and disposal. This allows the user to efficiently proceed with end-of-life preparations while reducing psychological burden.

[0939] "User Information" means basic personal data about a user, such as name, age, and contact details.

[0940] "Generative AI" is a system that uses artificial intelligence technology to generate natural language dialogue and responses from input data.

[0941] "Dialogue and consultation" is the process in which the generative AI provides appropriate responses to questions and comments entered by the user.

[0942] An "emotion engine" is a technology that analyzes a user's emotional state from input data and responds appropriately based on that.

[0943] The "list of belongings" is a list of items owned by the user, and includes information necessary for sorting the belongings.

[0944] A "personal effects sorting list" is a list that organizes information such as how to dispose of personal effects and where to dispose of them, based on the list of possessions.

[0945] An "external platform" is an online service or software system used to receive the estate inventory and support its management and disposal.

[0946] "Legal professionals" refers to professions such as lawyers and notaries who have specialized knowledge of the law.

[0947] "Purchases and disposals" refers to the act of purchasing or disposing of items on the possessions list.

[0948] This invention is a system for supporting preparations for the end of life, which enables users to efficiently proceed with preparations for the end of life while reducing their psychological burden. The system includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for interacting with and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion engine, means for displaying the generated response, means for receiving an input list of possessions and generating a list of belongings to sort, means for linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal, means for providing general legal information and recommendations in response to specific legal questions, and means for providing information encouraging consultation with a legal professional.

[0949] To implement this system, hardware and software such as a server, terminal, emotion engine, and generative AI are used. Specifically, the server contains a database that stores user information and the generated estate sorting list. The emotion engine analyzes input data and voice tone from the user to identify the user's emotional state. The generative AI generates an appropriate response to the user based on the analysis results of the emotion engine.

[0950] A specific example of this system will be described below.

[0951] When a user accesses the new registration page, enters information such as name, age, and contact details, and presses the submit button, the entered information is sent to the server. The server saves the information in a database and generates and displays the user's profile page. If a user enters "Yamada Hanako, 60 years old, yamada@example.com" and presses the register button, the server receives this information, saves it in a database, and generates a profile page.

[0952] Next, when the user clicks the "Chat and Consult with AI" button on their profile page, the server displays a chat interface. When the user types, "I'd like to know about inheritance procedures," the device sends the information to the server. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's level of tension, and the AI ​​generates and displays a response saying, "Inheritance procedures require the identification of heirs, the creation of an estate inventory, and procedures in accordance with tax law. We will support you so that you can proceed with peace of mind."

[0953] If a user inputs "I want to start sorting out my belongings," the server receives that information and uses generative AI to generate questions to create a list of belongings to sort out. If a user inputs "TV, refrigerator, and jewelry" into their possessions list, the server analyzes the information using an emotion engine, generates a list of belongings to sort out, and connects it to an external platform (e.g., a "virtual marketplace"). The user is then given the option to sell or dispose of their items.

[0954] Furthermore, if a user asks, "How do I write a will?", the server uses an emotion engine to recognize anxiety, and the generative AI responds by saying, "A will must be written in accordance with the law. We recommend consulting a lawyer or notary public." It also provides links to nearby legal consultation centers.

[0955] In this way, the system provides comprehensive support to allow users to prepare for the ending with peace of mind.

[0956] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0957] Step 1:

[0958] A user accesses the new registration page and enters information such as name, age, and contact details. The device sends this information to the server. The inputs are user name, age, contact details, etc., and the output is sent to the server.

[0959] Step 2:

[0960] The server stores the received user information in a database. Specifically, it adds a new record to the database and processes the data to store the user's basic information. The input is user information data, and the output is the user information stored in the database.

[0961] Step 3:

[0962] The server generates a user profile page and displays it to the user. The profile page reflects the information entered. The input is the user information retrieved from the database, and the output is the generated profile page.

[0963] Step 4:

[0964] The user clicks the "Chat / Consult with AI" button on the profile page. The device sends this click event to the server. The input is the click event, and the output is an event notification to the server.

[0965] Step 5:

[0966] The server receives the click event and displays the chat interface. The input is the click event data, and the output is the display of the chat interface.

[0967] Step 6:

[0968] The user inputs the consultation content or question (for example, "I would like to know about inheritance procedures") and sends it. The terminal sends the input content to the server. The input is text data of the consultation content, and the output is the transmission of text data to the server.

[0969] Step 7:

[0970] The server analyzes the received consultation content using an emotion engine to identify the user's emotional state. The input is the text data of the consultation content, and the output is the analyzed emotional data.

[0971] Step 8:

[0972] The server then uses the analyzed emotional data to generate an appropriate response using a generative AI. The input is the emotional data, and the output is the generated response text.

[0973] Step 9:

[0974] The server displays the generated response in a chat interface, with the generated response text as input and the display in the chat interface as output.

[0975] Step 10:

[0976] The user inputs and sends "I want to start sorting out the belongings of the deceased" to the terminal. The terminal sends this input to the server. The input is text data about sorting out the belongings of the deceased, and the output is the transmission of the text data to the server.

[0977] Step 11:

[0978] Based on the received information, the server generates questions for the AI ​​to create a list of belongings sorting. The input is the text data of the belongings sorting request, and the output is the generated question text.

[0979] Step 12:

[0980] The server displays the generated question in a chat interface and asks for the user's answer. The input is the question text, and the output is the question displayed in the chat interface.

[0981] Step 13:

[0982] The user inputs and submits a list of possessions (e.g., "TV, refrigerator, jewelry"). The terminal sends this input to the server. The input is the text data of the possessions list, and the output is the transmission of the text data to the server.

[0983] Step 14:

[0984] The server analyzes the input possession list using an emotion engine and takes appropriate action based on the user's emotional state. The input is the possession list text data, and the output is the analyzed emotion data and data on which the appropriate action is taken.

[0985] Step 15:

[0986] The server uses a generation AI to generate an estate sorting list based on the property list. The input is the property list data, and the output is the generated estate sorting list.

[0987] Step 16:

[0988] The server then links the generated estate sorting list to an external platform, providing users with the option to sell or discard their items. The input is estate sorting list data, and the output is data linkage to the external platform.

[0989] Step 17:

[0990] The user asks, "How do I create a will?" and the device sends the question to the server. The input is the text data of the legal question, and the output is the transmission to the server.

[0991] Step 18:

[0992] The server receives legal questions and the generative AI generates general legal information and recommendations. The input is the legal question data and the output is the generated legal information text.

[0993] Step 19:

[0994] The server displays the generated legal information in a chat interface and also provides information such as a link to consult with a legal professional. The input is the legal information text, and the output is the display in the chat interface and the provision of a link.

[0995] Step 20:

[0996] The user consults the provided legal information and links and, if necessary, consults a legal expert. The input is the user's browsing behavior and the output is access to legal expertise.

[0997] Through the above processing steps, the user can efficiently prepare for the ending while reducing the emotional burden.

[0998] (Application example 2)

[0999] 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."

[1000] Conventional ending preparation systems rarely take into account the user's emotions or psychological state, making it difficult to reduce the user's mental burden. Furthermore, they are unable to make appropriate suggestions based on the user's emotions, making it difficult to improve user satisfaction, especially in services such as food delivery, where emotions have a significant impact. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can recognize the user's emotions and make appropriate suggestions based on them.

[1001] 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.

[1002] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for chatting and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for displaying responses generated by the generation AI, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings for sorting, means for linking the generated list to an external platform and supporting purchasing and disposal, means for recognizing the user's emotions and generating suggestions based on the emotions, and means for displaying the suggestions based on the emotions and allowing the user to confirm and select. This makes it possible to recognize the user's emotional state in real time and make personalized suggestions, thereby reducing mental burden and providing high satisfaction.

[1003] "User information" refers to data necessary for providing services, such as a user's personal information and profile information.

[1004] "Generative AI" is a function that uses artificial intelligence technology to automatically create dialogue with users and specific suggestions.

[1005] A "bequest sorting list" is a list that sorts out unnecessary items from the user's possessions and organizes them for disposal or purchase.

[1006] "Emotion recognition" is a technology that analyzes a user's emotional state from their facial expressions, voice, etc., and obtains the results.

[1007] "Suggestions" are specific suggested actions or options provided by the generative AI based on the user's input and emotions.

[1008] "External Platform" refers to online services provided by third parties that allow users to link their generated lists.

[1009] "Chat and Consult" is a function that uses generative AI to converse with users and respond to their questions and inquiries.

[1010] "Legal Information" means information containing legal knowledge and recommendations related to preparing for an ending.

[1011] A "personalized delivery experience" means suggesting the most appropriate menu and services based on the user's emotional state, providing a delivery experience tailored to the user.

[1012] The present invention relates to a system that recognizes the user's emotions and supports ending preparation while reducing the emotional burden. This system exchanges information between a server, a terminal, and a user, and provides the following functions:

[1013] 1. User registration and profile creation

[1014] When a user accesses the new registration page, the server provides a registration form where the user enters information such as name, age, and contact details.

[1015] The user enters the necessary information into the terminal and presses the send button, which then sends the entered information to the server.

[1016] The server stores the received information in a database and generates and displays a profile page for the user.

[1017] For example, a user enters "Yamada Hanako, age 60, yamada@example.com" into a new registration form and presses the registration button. The server receives this information, stores it in the database, and generates a profile page for "Yamada Hanako."

[1018] 2. AI chat and consultation function

[1019] Users click the "Chat and consult with AI" button on their profile page.

[1020] The server receives the click event and displays the chat interface.

[1021] The user inputs the consultation details and questions into the terminal and sends them to the server.

[1022] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the input and tone of voice to determine the user's emotional state.

[1023] The server generates an appropriate response based on the emotional state identified by the emotion engine using the generation AI.

[1024] The server displays the generated response in the chat interface.

[1025] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays it in the chat interface.

[1026] For example, if a user types, "I'd like to know about inheritance procedures," the emotion engine analyzes the user's input and tone of voice to detect their level of tension. The AI ​​then responds, "Inheritance procedures require determining the heirs, creating an estate inventory, and completing procedures in accordance with tax law. We'll support you so you can proceed with peace of mind."

[1027] 3. Emotion-based menu suggestions

[1028] The user has launched a food delivery application and has enabled the camera and microphone.

[1029] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice data.

[1030] The server uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the user's emotions from the acquired data and obtains the results.

[1031] Based on the emotion recognition results, the server uses a generative AI to generate menu recommendations for the user. The generated suggestions are based on the user's emotional state.

[1032] The device will display the suggested menu on the app interface for the user to review and select.

[1033] For example, if a user inputs "I'm a little tired, so I'd like a soothing meal," the emotion recognition engine will read "fatigue" and "the desire for relaxation." The generative AI will then suggest, "How about some herbal tea and a light pasta to soothe your fatigue?" This allows the user to select the optimal menu according to their emotional state.

[1034] An example of a prompt sentence would be, "The user is expressing the emotion 'fatigue'. Please suggest a menu that you would like to use to relax. Please also tell us the specific menu and the reason why." By providing this to the generation AI, it is possible to receive appropriate suggestions.

[1035] To realize such a system, the hardware required includes a smartphone, smart glasses, or a head-mounted display. An internet connection, a camera, and a microphone are also required. The software used utilizes an emotion recognition engine (e.g., Microsoft Azure Emotion API, Amazon Rekognition) or generative AI (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4). Databases such as MySQL and Firebase can be used to store and manage information appropriately.

[1036] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1037] Step 1:

[1038] A user launches a food delivery application and enables the camera and microphone. As input, the user's video and audio data are captured. As output, these data are passed to the next processing step.

[1039] Step 2:

[1040] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice in real time, taking the user's video and audio data as input and sending this data to an emotion recognition engine as output.

[1041] Step 3:

[1042] The server uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the facial and voice data sent from the device to identify the user's emotional state. It receives video and voice data as input and processes the data by analyzing facial movements and voice tone. The output is the user's emotional state (e.g., fatigue, joy, anxiety, etc.).

[1043] Step 4:

[1044] The server sends the user's emotional state as input to the generative AI, which then generates appropriate menu suggestions. The prompt is "The user is expressing their emotion as 'fatigue'. Please recommend a menu for relaxation. Please also tell us the specific menu and the reason why." and uses a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4). The output is a specific menu suggestion based on the user's emotions.

[1045] Step 5:

[1046] The server sends the menu suggestions obtained from the generation AI to the terminal. The suggestions obtained from the generation AI are input, and the suggestion data is sent to the terminal as output.

[1047] Step 6:

[1048] The terminal displays the menu suggested to the user on the interface, receiving the menu suggestion data sent from the server as input and displaying it in a form that can be visually confirmed by the user as output.

[1049] Step 7:

[1050] The user reviews the displayed menu and makes a selection, which is sent to the server, which receives the suggested menu as input and the selected menu as output.

[1051] Step 8:

[1052] The server receives the user's selection and stores it in the database. It receives the user's selection data as input and registers the selection as a data operation. As output, the order information is stored in the database.

[1053] Step 9:

[1054] The server arranges delivery based on the stored order information. It reads the order information from the database as input and sends the delivery arrangement information to the delivery person as output.

[1055] This will enable personalized food delivery based on the user's emotions.

[1056] 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.

[1057] 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.

[1058] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the smart glasses 214.

[1186] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[1187] The present invention relates to a system for enabling a user to efficiently prepare for an ending. The system is configured as follows.

[1188] 1. Entering and saving user information

[1189] When a user accesses the new registration page, the server provides a registration form. The user enters information such as their name, age, and contact details, and presses the submit button. The device sends this input information to the server. The server stores the received information in a database (e.g., a database management system such as MySQL). It then generates the user's profile page, sends it to the user's device, and displays it.

[1190] Examples:

[1191] A user enters "Taro Tanaka, age 65, tanaka@example.com" into the new registration form and presses the submit button. The server receives this information, stores it in the database, and generates and displays a profile page for "Taro Tanaka."

[1192] 2. AI chat and consultation function

[1193] The user clicks the "Chat / Consult with AI" button on their profile page. The server receives the click event and displays a chat interface. The user enters their consultation or question into the chat interface and sends it. The server passes the input to a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3), generates an appropriate response, and displays it to the user.

[1194] Examples:

[1195] The user types, "I would like to know about inheritance procedures," and submits the request. The server passes the input to the generative AI model, which generates a response that says, "Inheritance procedures require the determination of heirs, the creation of an estate inventory, and procedures based on tax law," and displays it to the user.

[1196] 3. Creating a list of belongings to sort and linking with external platforms

[1197] The user types "I want to start sorting out my belongings" on the chat interface and submits the message. The server then uses the generation AI to present questions to the user about their main possessions (e.g., "What are the main pieces of furniture and valuables in your home?"). The user then enters and submits information about their possessions. The server then uses the generation AI to create a list of belongings sorted out based on this information and presents it to the user. The server also links this list to an external platform (e.g., a virtual market) to support purchasing and disposal.

[1198] Examples:

[1199] The user enters "TV, refrigerator, jewelry" into the list of possessions and submits it. The server receives this, and the generation AI creates a list of possessions. At the same time, this list is sent to a virtual market, where the user has the option to sell or dispose of the items.

[1200] 4. Support for legal requirements

[1201] The user inputs a specific legal question (for example, about inheritance procedures). The server then uses the AI ​​to provide general legal information and recommendations (for example, "Your will must be written in accordance with the law. We recommend that you consult with a lawyer or notary public") and display them to the user. Furthermore, the server also provides information encouraging the user to consult with a lawyer, notary public, or other professional, if necessary (for example, a link to a nearby legal consultation center).

[1202] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to efficiently prepare for the end of life without specialized knowledge, and supports them in easily completing legal procedures and sorting out their belongings. In addition, by linking with external platforms, the sale and disposal of possessions can be smoothly carried out, significantly reducing the overall burden on users.

[1277] Through these steps, this system allows users to efficiently prepare for the ending even without specialized knowledge.

[1278] (Application example 1)

[1279] 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 headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1280] Previous systems supporting end-of-life preparations lacked comprehensive support to help users smoothly proceed with end-of-life preparations without feeling emotional burden. They also lacked support for end-of-life preparations in an interactive and intuitive virtual space. This made it difficult for users to efficiently prepare for the end.

[1281] 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.

[1282] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for chatting and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for displaying responses generated by the generation AI, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings to organize, means for linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal, means for providing an interface for proceeding with end-of-life preparations in a virtual space, means for chatting and consulting with the generation AI in a virtual store, means for organizing the list of possessions entered by the user in connection with the virtual platform, and means for providing legal information regarding end-of-life preparations and encouraging consultation with an expert. This allows users to efficiently proceed with end-of-life preparations in an interactive and intuitive virtual space while reducing emotional burden.

[1283] "Means for entering and saving user information" refers to a function that allows users to enter personal information such as name, age, and contact details and save it in a database, etc.

[1284] "Generative AI" is artificial intelligence that generates natural language responses based on user input.

[1285] "Means for chatting and consulting with users" refers to a function that uses generation AI to chat and consult with users.

[1286] "Means for displaying the response generated by the generation AI" refers to a function that displays the response created by the generation AI on the user's screen.

[1287] The "means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list for sorting out belongings" is a function for generating a list for sorting out belongings based on the information on possessions entered by the user.

[1288] "Means of linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal" is a function that shares the generated estate sorting list with an external platform and supports purchasing and disposal on that platform.

[1289] "Means for providing an interface for advancing ending preparations within a virtual space" is a function that provides an interface for users to efficiently advance ending preparations within a virtual space.

[1290] "Means for chatting and consulting with generated AI within a virtual store" refers to a function that allows users to chat and consult with generated AI within the virtual store environment.

[1291] "Means for organizing a list of possessions entered by a user in conjunction with a virtual platform" is a function for efficiently organizing a list of possessions entered by a user in conjunction with a virtual platform.

[1292] "Means of providing legal information regarding preparations for the end of a marriage and encouraging consultation with an expert" is a function that provides users with legal information regarding preparations for the end of a marriage and encourages them to consult with a lawyer or legal expert as necessary.

[1293] To implement this invention, the following system configuration and processing are required: The system includes a server, a user terminal, a generation AI, a database, and a function for linking with an external platform.

[1294] First, a user accesses the system using a terminal and enters user information. This includes personal information such as name, age, and contact details. The server receives this information and stores it in a database. For example, if a user enters "Yamada Taro, 65 years old, Osaka@example.com," this information is stored in the database and a user profile page is generated.

[1295] Next, when a user wants to chat or ask for advice with the generation AI, the user opens a chat interface on their device and inputs the content of their consultation or question. The server receives this input and sends it to the generation AI. The generation AI analyzes the input, generates an appropriate response, and returns it to the server. The server displays the generated response on the user's device. For example, if the user asks, "Please tell me about the inheritance procedures," the generation AI will respond, "Inheritance procedures require the identification of heirs, the creation of an estate inventory, and procedures in accordance with tax law."

[1296] When a user creates a list of belongings, they enter the information about their possessions into the chat interface. The server receives this information and generates a list of belongings using AI. The generated list is linked to an external platform to support the sale or disposal of items. For example, if a user enters "piano, bookshelf, painting," a list of belongings is generated from this information and sent to an external sales platform.

[1297] Furthermore, if a user has legal questions about preparing for the ending, they can enter them into the chat interface. The AI ​​analyzes the question, generates general legal information and recommendations, and provides them to the user via the server. It also provides information encouraging the user to consult with a lawyer or other legal professional, if necessary. For example, if a user asks, "How do I write a will?" the AI ​​responds, "A will must be written in accordance with the law. We recommend consulting a lawyer or notary public," and also provides a link to a nearby legal consultation center.

[1298] The following hardware and software are required to implement this system. The hardware used includes a server and user devices (smartphones, PCs, and head-mounted displays). The software used includes Flask (web framework), OpenAI API (generative AI), and a database system.

[1299] For example, the following prompts are used for the generated AI:

[1300] Please briefly explain the inheritance procedure.

[1301] "How do I create a will?"

[1302] This allows users to interactively and intuitively proceed with ending preparations within a virtual space, reducing the emotional burden and enabling them to complete preparations efficiently.

[1303] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1304] Step 1:

[1305] A user accesses the system using a terminal and goes to the new registration page. The user enters information such as name, age, and contact details into the registration form displayed on the terminal and presses the submit button. The entered information is sent to the server. The input includes the user's personal information, which is then saved in a database.

[1306] Step 2:

[1307] The server receives the user information and stores it in a database. It then generates a user profile page and displays it on the device based on the information retrieved from the database. Data processing involves formatting the personal information entered and storing it in the database. The output is a user profile page.

[1308] Step 3:

[1309] The user clicks the "Chat / Consult with AI" button on the profile page. The server receives this click event and displays the chat interface on the device. The input is the click event, and the output is the display of the chat interface.

[1310] Step 4:

[1311] The user inputs the content of their consultation or question into the chat interface and presses the send button. The terminal sends this input to the server. The input includes the user's consultation content or question, and is sent to the server.

[1312] Step 5:

[1313] The server sends the received consultation content to the generative AI model, which then analyzes the input content and generates an appropriate response. Data processing includes analyzing the input text and generating an appropriate response. The output is the generated response.

[1314] Step 6:

[1315] The server displays the response received from the generation AI on the user's screen. The terminal displays the received response in a form that the user can see. The generated response text is displayed as output.

[1316] Step 7:

[1317] To create a list of possessions, the user inputs possession information into the chat interface. The device sends this information to the server. The input is possession information, which is then sent to the server.

[1318] Step 8:

[1319] Based on the received property information, the server's generation AI generates a list of belongings to sort. This list is linked to an external platform. Data processing involves sorting the input property information and compiling it into a list of belongings. The output is an organized list of belongings.

[1320] Step 9:

[1321] If the user has legal questions about the ending preparation, the user enters the questions into the chat interface. The terminal sends the questions to the server. The input includes legal questions, which are then sent to the server.

[1322] Step 10:

[1323] The server sends the received legal question to a generative AI model, which then generates general legal information and recommendations for the question. Data processing includes analyzing the input question and generating legal information. The output is the generated legal information.

[1324] Step 11:

[1325] The server displays the legal information and recommendations received from the generation AI on the user's screen. The device displays the received information in a visible format to the user. The generated legal information and recommendations are displayed as output.

[1326] In this way, the user can interactively and efficiently prepare for the ending within the virtual space.

[1327] 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.

[1328] This invention relates to a system that recognizes the user's emotions and adjusts responses based on those emotions to facilitate the preparation for the ending. This system combines an emotion engine and generative AI to support the preparation for the ending while reducing the psychological burden on the user.

[1452] This system is designed to allow users to efficiently prepare for the ending while reducing the emotional burden. The collaboration between the emotion engine and generative AI provides an environment where users can work with peace of mind.

[1453] Example 2

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

[1455] In modern society, there is a demand for efficient end-of-life preparations that reduce emotional burden. However, conventional methods place a heavy psychological burden on users, making efficient preparations difficult. Furthermore, it is difficult to provide appropriate information for specific legal questions or generate responses that reflect the user's emotional state. Therefore, a comprehensive support system is needed that allows users to prepare for end-of-life with peace of mind.

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

[1457] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for interacting with and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion engine, means for displaying the generated response, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings sorting, and means for linking the generated list to an external platform and supporting purchasing and disposal. This allows the user to efficiently proceed with end-of-life preparations while reducing psychological burden.

[1458] "User Information" means basic personal data about a user, such as name, age, and contact details.

[1459] "Generative AI" is a system that uses artificial intelligence technology to generate natural language dialogue and responses from input data.

[1460] "Dialogue and consultation" is the process in which the generative AI provides appropriate responses to questions and comments entered by the user.

[1461] An "emotion engine" is a technology that analyzes a user's emotional state from input data and responds appropriately based on that.

[1462] The "list of belongings" is a list of items owned by the user, and includes information necessary for sorting the belongings.

[1463] A "personal effects sorting list" is a list that organizes information such as how to dispose of personal effects and where to dispose of them, based on the list of possessions.

[1464] An "external platform" is an online service or software system used to receive the estate inventory and support its management and disposal.

[1465] "Legal professionals" refers to professions such as lawyers and notaries who have specialized knowledge of the law.

[1466] "Purchases and disposals" refers to the act of purchasing or disposing of items on the possessions list.

[1467] This invention is a system for supporting preparations for the end of life, which enables users to efficiently proceed with preparations for the end of life while reducing their psychological burden. The system includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for interacting with and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion engine, means for displaying the generated response, means for receiving an input list of possessions and generating a list of belongings to sort, means for linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal, means for providing general legal information and recommendations in response to specific legal questions, and means for providing information encouraging consultation with a legal professional.

[1468] To implement this system, hardware and software such as a server, terminal, emotion engine, and generative AI are used. Specifically, the server contains a database that stores user information and the generated estate sorting list. The emotion engine analyzes input data and voice tone from the user to identify the user's emotional state. The generative AI generates an appropriate response to the user based on the analysis results of the emotion engine.

[1469] A specific example of this system will be described below.

[1470] When a user accesses the new registration page, enters information such as name, age, and contact details, and presses the submit button, the entered information is sent to the server. The server saves the information in a database and generates and displays the user's profile page. If a user enters "Yamada Hanako, 60 years old, yamada@example.com" and presses the register button, the server receives this information, saves it in a database, and generates a profile page.

[1471] Next, when the user clicks the "Chat and Consult with AI" button on their profile page, the server displays a chat interface. When the user types, "I'd like to know about inheritance procedures," the device sends the information to the server. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's level of tension, and the AI ​​generates and displays a response saying, "Inheritance procedures require the identification of heirs, the creation of an estate inventory, and procedures in accordance with tax law. We will support you so that you can proceed with peace of mind."

[1472] If a user inputs "I want to start sorting out my belongings," the server receives that information and uses generative AI to generate questions to create a list of belongings to sort out. If a user inputs "TV, refrigerator, and jewelry" into their possessions list, the server analyzes the information using an emotion engine, generates a list of belongings to sort out, and connects it to an external platform (e.g., a "virtual marketplace"). The user is then given the option to sell or dispose of their items.

[1473] Furthermore, if a user asks, "How do I write a will?", the server uses an emotion engine to recognize anxiety, and the generative AI responds by saying, "A will must be written in accordance with the law. We recommend consulting a lawyer or notary public." It also provides links to nearby legal consultation centers.

[1474] In this way, the system provides comprehensive support to allow users to prepare for the ending with peace of mind.

[1475] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1476] Step 1:

[1477] A user accesses the new registration page and enters information such as name, age, and contact details. The device sends this information to the server. The inputs are user name, age, contact details, etc., and the output is sent to the server.

[1478] Step 2:

[1479] The server stores the received user information in a database. Specifically, it adds a new record to the database and processes the data to store the user's basic information. The input is user information data, and the output is the user information stored in the database.

[1480] Step 3:

[1481] The server generates a user profile page and displays it to the user. The profile page reflects the information entered. The input is the user information retrieved from the database, and the output is the generated profile page.

[1482] Step 4:

[1483] The user clicks the "Chat / Consult with AI" button on the profile page. The device sends this click event to the server. The input is the click event, and the output is an event notification to the server.

[1484] Step 5:

[1485] The server receives the click event and displays the chat interface. The input is the click event data, and the output is the display of the chat interface.

[1486] Step 6:

[1487] The user inputs the consultation content or question (for example, "I would like to know about inheritance procedures") and sends it. The terminal sends the input content to the server. The input is text data of the consultation content, and the output is the transmission of text data to the server.

[1488] Step 7:

[1489] The server analyzes the received consultation content using an emotion engine to identify the user's emotional state. The input is the text data of the consultation content, and the output is the analyzed emotional data.

[1490] Step 8:

[1491] The server then uses the analyzed emotional data to generate an appropriate response using a generative AI. The input is the emotional data, and the output is the generated response text.

[1492] Step 9:

[1493] The server displays the generated response in a chat interface, with the generated response text as input and the display in the chat interface as output.

[1494] Step 10:

[1495] The user inputs and sends "I want to start sorting out the belongings of the deceased" to the terminal. The terminal sends this input to the server. The input is text data about sorting out the belongings of the deceased, and the output is the transmission of the text data to the server.

[1496] Step 11:

[1497] Based on the received information, the server generates questions for the AI ​​to create a list of belongings sorting. The input is the text data of the belongings sorting request, and the output is the generated question text.

[1498] Step 12:

[1499] The server displays the generated question in a chat interface and asks for the user's answer. The input is the question text, and the output is the question displayed in the chat interface.

[1500] Step 13:

[1501] The user inputs and submits a list of possessions (e.g., "TV, refrigerator, jewelry"). The terminal sends this input to the server. The input is the text data of the possessions list, and the output is the transmission of the text data to the server.

[1502] Step 14:

[1503] The server analyzes the input possession list using an emotion engine and takes appropriate action based on the user's emotional state. The input is the possession list text data, and the output is the analyzed emotion data and data on which the appropriate action is taken.

[1504] Step 15:

[1505] The server uses a generation AI to generate an estate sorting list based on the property list. The input is the property list data, and the output is the generated estate sorting list.

[1506] Step 16:

[1507] The server then links the generated estate sorting list to an external platform, providing users with the option to sell or discard their items. The input is estate sorting list data, and the output is data linkage to the external platform.

[1508] Step 17:

[1509] The user asks, "How do I create a will?" and the device sends the question to the server. The input is the text data of the legal question, and the output is the transmission to the server.

[1510] Step 18:

[1511] The server receives legal questions and the generative AI generates general legal information and recommendations. The input is the legal question data and the output is the generated legal information text.

[1512] Step 19:

[1513] The server displays the generated legal information in a chat interface and also provides information such as a link to consult with a legal professional. The input is the legal information text, and the output is the display in the chat interface and the provision of a link.

[1514] Step 20:

[1515] The user consults the provided legal information and links and, if necessary, consults a legal expert. The input is the user's browsing behavior and the output is access to legal expertise.

[1516] Through the above processing steps, the user can efficiently prepare for the ending while reducing the emotional burden.

[1517] (Application example 2)

[1518] 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."

[1519] Conventional ending preparation systems rarely take into account the user's emotions or psychological state, making it difficult to reduce the user's mental burden. Furthermore, they are unable to make appropriate suggestions based on the user's emotions, making it difficult to improve user satisfaction, especially in services such as food delivery, where emotions have a significant impact. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can recognize the user's emotions and make appropriate suggestions based on them.

[1520] 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.

[1521] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for chatting and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for displaying responses generated by the generation AI, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings for sorting, means for linking the generated list to an external platform and supporting purchasing and disposal, means for recognizing the user's emotions and generating suggestions based on the emotions, and means for displaying the suggestions based on the emotions and allowing the user to confirm and select. This makes it possible to recognize the user's emotional state in real time and make personalized suggestions, thereby reducing mental burden and providing high satisfaction.

[1522] "User information" refers to data necessary for providing services, such as a user's personal information and profile information.

[1523] "Generative AI" is a function that uses artificial intelligence technology to automatically create dialogue with users and specific suggestions.

[1524] A "bequest sorting list" is a list that sorts out unnecessary items from the user's possessions and organizes them for disposal or purchase.

[1525] "Emotion recognition" is a technology that analyzes a user's emotional state from their facial expressions, voice, etc., and obtains the results.

[1526] "Suggestions" are specific suggested actions or options provided by the generative AI based on the user's input and emotions.

[1527] "External Platform" refers to online services provided by third parties that allow users to link their generated lists.

[1528] "Chat and Consult" is a function that uses generative AI to converse with users and respond to their questions and inquiries.

[1529] "Legal Information" means information containing legal knowledge and recommendations related to preparing for an ending.

[1530] A "personalized delivery experience" means suggesting the most appropriate menu and services based on the user's emotional state, providing a delivery experience tailored to the user.

[1531] The present invention relates to a system that recognizes the user's emotions and supports ending preparation while reducing the emotional burden. This system exchanges information between a server, a terminal, and a user, and provides the following functions:

[1532] 1. User registration and profile creation

[1533] When a user accesses the new registration page, the server provides a registration form where the user enters information such as name, age, and contact details.

[1534] The user enters the necessary information into the terminal and presses the send button, which then sends the entered information to the server.

[1535] The server stores the received information in a database and generates and displays a profile page for the user.

[1536] For example, a user enters "Yamada Hanako, age 60, yamada@example.com" into a new registration form and presses the registration button. The server receives this information, stores it in the database, and generates a profile page for "Yamada Hanako."

[1537] 2. AI chat and consultation function

[1538] Users click the "Chat and consult with AI" button on their profile page.

[1539] The server receives the click event and displays the chat interface.

[1540] The user inputs the consultation details and questions into the terminal and sends them to the server.

[1541] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the input and tone of voice to determine the user's emotional state.

[1542] The server generates an appropriate response based on the emotional state identified by the emotion engine using the generation AI.

[1543] The server displays the generated response in the chat interface.

[1544] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays it in the chat interface.

[1545] For example, if a user types, "I'd like to know about inheritance procedures," the emotion engine analyzes the user's input and tone of voice to detect their level of tension. The AI ​​then responds, "Inheritance procedures require determining the heirs, creating an estate inventory, and completing procedures in accordance with tax law. We'll support you so you can proceed with peace of mind."

[1546] 3. Emotion-based menu suggestions

[1547] The user has launched a food delivery application and has enabled the camera and microphone.

[1548] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice data.

[1549] The server uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the user's emotions from the acquired data and obtains the results.

[1550] Based on the emotion recognition results, the server uses a generative AI to generate menu recommendations for the user. The generated suggestions are based on the user's emotional state.

[1551] The device will display the suggested menu on the app interface for the user to review and select.

[1552] For example, if a user inputs "I'm a little tired, so I'd like a soothing meal," the emotion recognition engine will read "fatigue" and "the desire for relaxation." The generative AI will then suggest, "How about some herbal tea and a light pasta to soothe your fatigue?" This allows the user to select the optimal menu according to their emotional state.

[1553] An example of a prompt sentence would be, "The user is expressing the emotion 'fatigue'. Please suggest a menu that you would like to use to relax. Please also tell us the specific menu and the reason why." By providing this to the generation AI, it is possible to receive appropriate suggestions.

[1554] To realize such a system, the hardware required includes a smartphone, smart glasses, or a head-mounted display. An internet connection, a camera, and a microphone are also required. The software used utilizes an emotion recognition engine (e.g., Microsoft Azure Emotion API, Amazon Rekognition) or generative AI (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4). Databases such as MySQL and Firebase can be used to store and manage information appropriately.

[1555] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1556] Step 1:

[1557] A user launches a food delivery application and enables the camera and microphone. As input, the user's video and audio data are captured. As output, these data are passed to the next processing step.

[1558] Step 2:

[1559] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice in real time, taking the user's video and audio data as input and sending this data to an emotion recognition engine as output.

[1560] Step 3:

[1561] The server uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the facial and voice data sent from the device to identify the user's emotional state. It receives video and voice data as input and processes the data by analyzing facial movements and voice tone. The output is the user's emotional state (e.g., fatigue, joy, anxiety, etc.).

[1562] Step 4:

[1563] The server sends the user's emotional state as input to the generative AI, which then generates appropriate menu suggestions. The prompt is "The user is expressing their emotion as 'fatigue'. Please recommend a menu for relaxation. Please also tell us the specific menu and the reason why." and uses a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4). The output is a specific menu suggestion based on the user's emotions.

[1564] Step 5:

[1565] The server sends the menu suggestions obtained from the generation AI to the terminal. The suggestions obtained from the generation AI are input, and the suggestion data is sent to the terminal as output.

[1566] Step 6:

[1567] The terminal displays the menu suggested to the user on the interface, receiving the menu suggestion data sent from the server as input and displaying it in a form that can be visually confirmed by the user as output.

[1568] Step 7:

[1569] The user reviews the displayed menu and makes a selection, which is sent to the server, which receives the suggested menu as input and the selected menu as output.

[1570] Step 8:

[1571] The server receives the user's selection and stores it in the database. It receives the user's selection data as input and registers the selection as a data operation. As output, the order information is stored in the database.

[1572] Step 9:

[1573] The server arranges delivery based on the stored order information. It reads the order information from the database as input and sends the delivery arrangement information to the delivery person as output.

[1574] This will enable personalized food delivery based on the user's emotions.

[1575] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[1576] 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.

[1577] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the headset type terminal 314.

[1705] "Ending preparation" refers to the act of planning and preparing in advance for the procedures and arrangements to be made after oneself or one's family members pass away.

[1706] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[1707] The present invention relates to a system for enabling a user to efficiently prepare for an ending. The system is configured as follows.

[1708] 1. Entering and saving user information

[1709] When a user accesses the new registration page, the server provides a registration form. The user enters information such as their name, age, and contact details, and presses the submit button. The device sends this input information to the server. The server stores the received information in a database (e.g., a database management system such as MySQL). It then generates the user's profile page, sends it to the user's device, and displays it.

[1710] Examples:

[1711] A user enters "Taro Tanaka, age 65, tanaka@example.com" into the new registration form and presses the submit button. The server receives this information, stores it in the database, and generates and displays a profile page for "Taro Tanaka."

[1712] 2. AI chat and consultation function

[1713] The user clicks the "Chat / Consult with AI" button on their profile page. The server receives the click event and displays a chat interface. The user enters their consultation or question into the chat interface and sends it. The server passes the input to a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3), generates an appropriate response, and displays it to the user.

[1714] Examples:

[1715] The user types, "I would like to know about inheritance procedures," and submits the request. The server passes the input to the generative AI model, which generates a response that says, "Inheritance procedures require the determination of heirs, the creation of an estate inventory, and procedures based on tax law," and displays it to the user.

[1716] 3. Creating a list of belongings to sort and linking with external platforms

[1717] The user types "I want to start sorting out my belongings" on the chat interface and submits the message. The server then uses the generation AI to present questions to the user about their main possessions (e.g., "What are the main pieces of furniture and valuables in your home?"). The user then enters and submits information about their possessions. The server then uses the generation AI to create a list of belongings sorted out based on this information and presents it to the user. The server also links this list to an external platform (e.g., a virtual market) to support purchasing and disposal.

[1718] Examples:

[1719] The user enters "TV, refrigerator, jewelry" into the list of possessions and submits it. The server receives this, and the generation AI creates a list of possessions. At the same time, this list is sent to a virtual market, where the user has the option to sell or dispose of the items.

[1720] 4. Support for legal requirements

[1721] The user inputs a specific legal question (for example, about inheritance procedures). The server then uses the AI ​​to provide general legal information and recommendations (for example, "Your will must be written in accordance with the law. We recommend that you consult with a lawyer or notary public") and display them to the user. Furthermore, the server also provides information encouraging the user to consult with a lawyer, notary public, or other professional, if necessary (for example, a link to a nearby legal consultation center).

[1722] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to efficiently prepare for the end of life without specialized knowledge, and supports them in easily completing legal procedures and sorting out their belongings. In addition, by linking with external platforms, the sale and disposal of possessions can be smoothly carried out, significantly reducing the overall burden on users.

[1797] Through these steps, this system allows users to efficiently prepare for the ending even without specialized knowledge.

[1798] (Application example 1)

[1799] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1800] Previous systems supporting end-of-life preparations lacked comprehensive support to help users smoothly proceed with end-of-life preparations without feeling emotional burden. They also lacked support for end-of-life preparations in an interactive and intuitive virtual space. This made it difficult for users to efficiently prepare for the end.

[1801] 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.

[1802] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for chatting and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for displaying responses generated by the generation AI, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings to organize, means for linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal, means for providing an interface for proceeding with end-of-life preparations in a virtual space, means for chatting and consulting with the generation AI in a virtual store, means for organizing the list of possessions entered by the user in connection with the virtual platform, and means for providing legal information regarding end-of-life preparations and encouraging consultation with an expert. This allows users to efficiently proceed with end-of-life preparations in an interactive and intuitive virtual space while reducing emotional burden.

[1803] "Means for entering and saving user information" refers to a function that allows users to enter personal information such as name, age, and contact details and save it in a database, etc.

[1804] "Generative AI" is artificial intelligence that generates natural language responses based on user input.

[1805] "Means for chatting and consulting with users" refers to a function that uses generation AI to chat and consult with users.

[1806] "Means for displaying the response generated by the generation AI" refers to a function that displays the response created by the generation AI on the user's screen.

[1807] The "means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list for sorting out belongings" is a function for generating a list for sorting out belongings based on the information on possessions entered by the user.

[1808] "Means of linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal" is a function that shares the generated estate sorting list with an external platform and supports purchasing and disposal on that platform.

[1809] "Means for providing an interface for advancing ending preparations within a virtual space" is a function that provides an interface for users to efficiently advance ending preparations within a virtual space.

[1810] "Means for chatting and consulting with generated AI within a virtual store" refers to a function that allows users to chat and consult with generated AI within the virtual store environment.

[1811] "Means for organizing a list of possessions entered by a user in conjunction with a virtual platform" is a function for efficiently organizing a list of possessions entered by a user in conjunction with a virtual platform.

[1812] "Means of providing legal information regarding preparations for the end of a marriage and encouraging consultation with an expert" is a function that provides users with legal information regarding preparations for the end of a marriage and encourages them to consult with a lawyer or legal expert as necessary.

[1813] To implement this invention, the following system configuration and processing are required: The system includes a server, a user terminal, a generation AI, a database, and a function for linking with an external platform.

[1814] First, a user accesses the system using a terminal and enters user information. This includes personal information such as name, age, and contact details. The server receives this information and stores it in a database. For example, if a user enters "Yamada Taro, 65 years old, Osaka@example.com," this information is stored in the database and a user profile page is generated.

[1815] Next, when a user wants to chat or ask for advice with the generation AI, the user opens a chat interface on their device and inputs the content of their consultation or question. The server receives this input and sends it to the generation AI. The generation AI analyzes the input, generates an appropriate response, and returns it to the server. The server displays the generated response on the user's device. For example, if the user asks, "Please tell me about the inheritance procedures," the generation AI will respond, "Inheritance procedures require the identification of heirs, the creation of an estate inventory, and procedures in accordance with tax law."

[1816] When a user creates a list of belongings, they enter the information about their possessions into the chat interface. The server receives this information and generates a list of belongings using AI. The generated list is linked to an external platform to support the sale or disposal of items. For example, if a user enters "piano, bookshelf, painting," a list of belongings is generated from this information and sent to an external sales platform.

[1817] Furthermore, if a user has legal questions about preparing for the ending, they can enter them into the chat interface. The AI ​​analyzes the question, generates general legal information and recommendations, and provides them to the user via the server. It also provides information encouraging the user to consult with a lawyer or other legal professional, if necessary. For example, if a user asks, "How do I write a will?" the AI ​​responds, "A will must be written in accordance with the law. We recommend consulting a lawyer or notary public," and also provides a link to a nearby legal consultation center.

[1818] The following hardware and software are required to implement this system. The hardware used includes a server and user devices (smartphones, PCs, and head-mounted displays). The software used includes Flask (web framework), OpenAI API (generative AI), and a database system.

[1819] For example, the following prompts are used for the generated AI:

[1820] Please briefly explain the inheritance procedure.

[1821] "How do I create a will?"

[1822] This allows users to interactively and intuitively proceed with ending preparations within a virtual space, reducing the emotional burden and enabling them to complete preparations efficiently.

[1823] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1824] Step 1:

[1825] A user accesses the system using a terminal and goes to the new registration page. The user enters information such as name, age, and contact details into the registration form displayed on the terminal and presses the submit button. The entered information is sent to the server. The input includes the user's personal information, which is then saved in a database.

[1826] Step 2:

[1827] The server receives the user information and stores it in a database. It then generates a user profile page and displays it on the device based on the information retrieved from the database. Data processing involves formatting the personal information entered and storing it in the database. The output is a user profile page.

[1828] Step 3:

[1829] The user clicks the "Chat / Consult with AI" button on the profile page. The server receives this click event and displays the chat interface on the device. The input is the click event, and the output is the display of the chat interface.

[1830] Step 4:

[1831] The user inputs the content of their consultation or question into the chat interface and presses the send button. The terminal sends this input to the server. The input includes the user's consultation content or question, and is sent to the server.

[1832] Step 5:

[1833] The server sends the received consultation content to the generative AI model, which then analyzes the input content and generates an appropriate response. Data processing includes analyzing the input text and generating an appropriate response. The output is the generated response.

[1834] Step 6:

[1835] The server displays the response received from the generation AI on the user's screen. The terminal displays the received response in a form that the user can see. The generated response text is displayed as output.

[1836] Step 7:

[1837] To create a list of possessions, the user inputs possession information into the chat interface. The device sends this information to the server. The input is possession information, which is then sent to the server.

[1838] Step 8:

[1839] Based on the received property information, the server's generation AI generates a list of belongings to sort. This list is linked to an external platform. Data processing involves sorting the input property information and compiling it into a list of belongings. The output is an organized list of belongings.

[1840] Step 9:

[1841] If the user has legal questions about the ending preparation, the user enters the questions into the chat interface. The terminal sends the questions to the server. The input includes legal questions, which are then sent to the server.

[1842] Step 10:

[1843] The server sends the received legal question to a generative AI model, which then generates general legal information and recommendations for the question. Data processing includes analyzing the input question and generating legal information. The output is the generated legal information.

[1844] Step 11:

[1845] The server displays the legal information and recommendations received from the generation AI on the user's screen. The device displays the received information in a visible format to the user. The generated legal information and recommendations are displayed as output.

[1846] In this way, the user can interactively and efficiently prepare for the ending within the virtual space.

[1847] 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.

[1848] This invention relates to a system that recognizes the user's emotions and adjusts responses based on those emotions to facilitate the preparation for the ending. This system combines an emotion engine and generative AI to support the preparation for the ending while reducing the psychological burden on the user.

[1973] Example 2

[1974] 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."

[1975] In modern society, there is a demand for efficient end-of-life preparations that reduce emotional burden. However, conventional methods place a heavy psychological burden on users, making efficient preparations difficult. Furthermore, it is difficult to provide appropriate information for specific legal questions or generate responses that reflect the user's emotional state. Therefore, a comprehensive support system is needed that allows users to prepare for end-of-life with peace of mind.

[1976] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1977] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for interacting with and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion engine, means for displaying the generated response, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings sorting, and means for linking the generated list to an external platform and supporting purchasing and disposal. This allows the user to efficiently proceed with end-of-life preparations while reducing psychological burden.

[1978] "User Information" means basic personal data about a user, such as name, age, and contact details.

[1979] "Generative AI" is a system that uses artificial intelligence technology to generate natural language dialogue and responses from input data.

[1980] "Dialogue and consultation" is the process in which the generative AI provides appropriate responses to questions and comments entered by the user.

[1981] An "emotion engine" is a technology that analyzes a user's emotional state from input data and responds appropriately based on that.

[1982] The "list of belongings" is a list of items owned by the user, and includes information necessary for sorting the belongings.

[1983] A "personal effects sorting list" is a list that organizes information such as how to dispose of personal effects and where to dispose of them, based on the list of possessions.

[1984] An "external platform" is an online service or software system used to receive the estate inventory and support its management and disposal.

[1985] "Legal professionals" refers to professions such as lawyers and notaries who have specialized knowledge of the law.

[1986] "Purchases and disposals" refers to the act of purchasing or disposing of items on the possessions list.

[1987] This invention is a system for supporting preparations for the end of life, which enables users to efficiently proceed with preparations for the end of life while reducing their psychological burden. The system includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for interacting with and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for analyzing the user's emotional state using an emotion engine, means for displaying the generated response, means for receiving an input list of possessions and generating a list of belongings to sort, means for linking the generated list to an external platform to support purchasing and disposal, means for providing general legal information and recommendations in response to specific legal questions, and means for providing information encouraging consultation with a legal professional.

[1988] To implement this system, hardware and software such as a server, terminal, emotion engine, and generative AI are used. Specifically, the server contains a database that stores user information and the generated estate sorting list. The emotion engine analyzes input data and voice tone from the user to identify the user's emotional state. The generative AI generates an appropriate response to the user based on the analysis results of the emotion engine.

[1989] A specific example of this system will be described below.

[1990] When a user accesses the new registration page, enters information such as name, age, and contact details, and presses the submit button, the entered information is sent to the server. The server saves the information in a database and generates and displays the user's profile page. If a user enters "Yamada Hanako, 60 years old, yamada@example.com" and presses the register button, the server receives this information, saves it in a database, and generates a profile page.

[1991] Next, when the user clicks the "Chat and Consult with AI" button on their profile page, the server displays a chat interface. When the user types, "I'd like to know about inheritance procedures," the device sends the information to the server. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's level of tension, and the AI ​​generates and displays a response saying, "Inheritance procedures require the identification of heirs, the creation of an estate inventory, and procedures in accordance with tax law. We will support you so that you can proceed with peace of mind."

[1992] If a user inputs "I want to start sorting out my belongings," the server receives that information and uses generative AI to generate questions to create a list of belongings to sort out. If a user inputs "TV, refrigerator, and jewelry" into their possessions list, the server analyzes the information using an emotion engine, generates a list of belongings to sort out, and connects it to an external platform (e.g., a "virtual marketplace"). The user is then given the option to sell or dispose of their items.

[1993] Furthermore, if a user asks, "How do I write a will?", the server uses an emotion engine to recognize anxiety, and the generative AI responds by saying, "A will must be written in accordance with the law. We recommend consulting a lawyer or notary public." It also provides links to nearby legal consultation centers.

[1994] In this way, the system provides comprehensive support to allow users to prepare for the ending with peace of mind.

[1995] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1996] Step 1:

[1997] A user accesses the new registration page and enters information such as name, age, and contact details. The device sends this information to the server. The inputs are user name, age, contact details, etc., and the output is sent to the server.

[1998] Step 2:

[1999] The server stores the received user information in a database. Specifically, it adds a new record to the database and processes the data to store the user's basic information. The input is user information data, and the output is the user information stored in the database.

[2000] Step 3:

[2001] The server generates a user profile page and displays it to the user. The profile page reflects the information entered. The input is the user information retrieved from the database, and the output is the generated profile page.

[2002] Step 4:

[2003] The user clicks the "Chat / Consult with AI" button on the profile page. The device sends this click event to the server. The input is the click event, and the output is an event notification to the server.

[2004] Step 5:

[2005] The server receives the click event and displays the chat interface. The input is the click event data, and the output is the display of the chat interface.

[2006] Step 6:

[2007] The user inputs the consultation content or question (for example, "I would like to know about inheritance procedures") and sends it. The terminal sends the input content to the server. The input is text data of the consultation content, and the output is the transmission of text data to the server.

[2008] Step 7:

[2009] The server analyzes the received consultation content using an emotion engine to identify the user's emotional state. The input is the text data of the consultation content, and the output is the analyzed emotional data.

[2010] Step 8:

[2011] The server then uses the analyzed emotional data to generate an appropriate response using a generative AI. The input is the emotional data, and the output is the generated response text.

[2012] Step 9:

[2013] The server displays the generated response in a chat interface, with the generated response text as input and the display in the chat interface as output.

[2014] Step 10:

[2015] The user inputs and sends "I want to start sorting out the belongings of the deceased" to the terminal. The terminal sends this input to the server. The input is text data about sorting out the belongings of the deceased, and the output is the transmission of the text data to the server.

[2016] Step 11:

[2017] Based on the received information, the server generates questions for the AI ​​to create a list of belongings sorting. The input is the text data of the belongings sorting request, and the output is the generated question text.

[2018] Step 12:

[2019] The server displays the generated question in a chat interface and asks for the user's answer. The input is the question text, and the output is the question displayed in the chat interface.

[2020] Step 13:

[2021] The user inputs and submits a list of possessions (e.g., "TV, refrigerator, jewelry"). The terminal sends this input to the server. The input is the text data of the possessions list, and the output is the transmission of the text data to the server.

[2022] Step 14:

[2023] The server analyzes the input possession list using an emotion engine and takes appropriate action based on the user's emotional state. The input is the possession list text data, and the output is the analyzed emotion data and data on which the appropriate action is taken.

[2024] Step 15:

[2025] The server uses a generation AI to generate an estate sorting list based on the property list. The input is the property list data, and the output is the generated estate sorting list.

[2026] Step 16:

[2027] The server then links the generated estate sorting list to an external platform, providing users with the option to sell or discard their items. The input is estate sorting list data, and the output is data linkage to the external platform.

[2028] Step 17:

[2029] The user asks, "How do I create a will?" and the device sends the question to the server. The input is the text data of the legal question, and the output is the transmission to the server.

[2030] Step 18:

[2031] The server receives legal questions and the generative AI generates general legal information and recommendations. The input is the legal question data and the output is the generated legal information text.

[2032] Step 19:

[2033] The server displays the generated legal information in a chat interface and also provides information such as a link to consult with a legal professional. The input is the legal information text, and the output is the display in the chat interface and the provision of a link.

[2034] Step 20:

[2035] The user consults the provided legal information and links and, if necessary, consults a legal expert. The input is the user's browsing behavior and the output is access to legal expertise.

[2036] Through the above processing steps, the user can efficiently prepare for the ending while reducing the emotional burden.

[2037] (Application example 2)

[2038] 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."

[2039] Conventional ending preparation systems rarely take into account the user's emotions or psychological state, making it difficult to reduce the user's mental burden. Furthermore, they are unable to make appropriate suggestions based on the user's emotions, making it difficult to improve user satisfaction, especially in services such as food delivery, where emotions have a significant impact. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can recognize the user's emotions and make appropriate suggestions based on them.

[2040] 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.

[2041] In this invention, the server includes means for inputting and saving user information, means for chatting and consulting with the user using a generation AI, means for displaying responses generated by the generation AI, means for receiving an input of a list of possessions and generating a list of belongings for sorting, means for linking the generated list to an external platform and supporting purchasing and disposal, means for recognizing the user's emotions and generating suggestions based on the emotions, and means for displaying the suggestions based on the emotions and allowing the user to confirm and select. This makes it possible to recognize the user's emotional state in real time and make personalized suggestions, thereby reducing mental burden and providing high satisfaction.

[2042] "User information" refers to data necessary for providing services, such as a user's personal information and profile information.

[2043] "Generative AI" is a function that uses artificial intelligence technology to automatically create dialogue with users and specific suggestions.

[2044] A "bequest sorting list" is a list that sorts out unnecessary items from the user's possessions and organizes them for disposal or purchase.

[2045] "Emotion recognition" is a technology that analyzes a user's emotional state from their facial expressions, voice, etc., and obtains the results.

[2046] "Suggestions" are specific suggested actions or options provided by the generative AI based on the user's input and emotions.

[2047] "External Platform" refers to online services provided by third parties that allow users to link their generated lists.

[2048] "Chat and Consult" is a function that uses generative AI to converse with users and respond to their questions and inquiries.

[2049] "Legal Information" means information containing legal knowledge and recommendations related to preparing for an ending.

[2050] A "personalized delivery experience" means suggesting the most appropriate menu and services based on the user's emotional state, providing a delivery experience tailored to the user.

[2051] The present invention relates to a system that recognizes the user's emotions and supports ending preparation while reducing the emotional burden. This system exchanges information between a server, a terminal, and a user, and provides the following functions:

[2052] 1. User registration and profile creation

[2053] When a user accesses the new registration page, the server provides a registration form where the user enters information such as name, age, and contact details.

[2054] The user enters the necessary information into the terminal and presses the send button, which then sends the entered information to the server.

[2055] The server stores the received information in a database and generates and displays a profile page for the user.

[2056] For example, a user enters "Yamada Hanako, age 60, yamada@example.com" into a new registration form and presses the registration button. The server receives this information, stores it in the database, and generates a profile page for "Yamada Hanako."

[2057] 2. AI chat and consultation function

[2058] Users click the "Chat and consult with AI" button on their profile page.

[2059] The server receives the click event and displays the chat interface.

[2060] The user inputs the consultation details and questions into the terminal and sends them to the server.

[2061] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the input and tone of voice to determine the user's emotional state.

[2062] The server generates an appropriate response based on the emotional state identified by the emotion engine using the generation AI.

[2063] The server displays the generated response in the chat interface.

[2064] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays it in the chat interface.

[2065] For example, if a user types, "I'd like to know about inheritance procedures," the emotion engine analyzes the user's input and tone of voice to detect their level of tension. The AI ​​then responds, "Inheritance procedures require determining the heirs, creating an estate inventory, and completing procedures in accordance with tax law. We'll support you so you can proceed with peace of mind."

[2066] 3. Emotion-based menu suggestions

[2067] The user has launched a food delivery application and has enabled the camera and microphone.

[2068] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice data.

[2069] The server uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the user's emotions from the acquired data and obtains the results.

[2070] Based on the emotion recognition results, the server uses a generative AI to generate menu recommendations for the user. The generated suggestions are based on the user's emotional state.

[2071] The device will display the suggested menu on the app interface for the user to review and select.

[2072] For example, if a user inputs "I'm a little tired, so I'd like a soothing meal," the emotion recognition engine will read "fatigue" and "the desire for relaxation." The generative AI will then suggest, "How about some herbal tea and a light pasta to soothe your fatigue?" This allows the user to select the optimal menu according to their emotional state.

[2073] An example of a prompt sentence would be, "The user is expressing the emotion 'fatigue'. Please suggest a menu that you would like to use to relax. Please also tell us the specific menu and the reason why." By providing this to the generation AI, it is possible to receive appropriate suggestions.

[2074] To realize such a system, the hardware required includes a smartphone, smart glasses, or a head-mounted display. An internet connection, a camera, and a microphone are also required. The software used utilizes an emotion recognition engine (e.g., Microsoft Azure Emotion API, Amazon Rekognition) or generative AI (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4). Databases such as MySQL and Firebase can be used to store and manage information appropriately.

[2075] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[2076] Step 1:

[2077] A user launches a food delivery application and enables the camera and microphone. As input, the user's video and audio data are captured. As output, these data are passed to the next processing step.

[2078] Step 2:

[2079] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice in real time, taking the user's video and audio data as input and sending this data to an emotion recognition engine as output.

[2080] Step 3:

[2081] The server uses an emotion recognition engine to analyze the facial and voice data sent from the device to identify the user's emotional state. It receives video and voice data as input and processes the data by analyzing facial movements and voice tone. The output is the user's emotional state (e.g., fatigue, joy, anxiety, etc.).

[2082] Step 4:

[2083] The server sends the user's emotional state as input to the generative AI, which then generates appropriate menu suggestions. The prompt is "The user is expressing their emotion as 'fatigue'. Please recommend a menu for relaxation. Please also tell us the specific menu and the reason why." and uses a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4). The output is a specific menu suggestion based on the user's emotions.

[2084] Step 5:

[2085] The server sends the menu suggestions obtained from the generation AI to the terminal. The suggestions obtained from the generation AI are input, and the suggestion data is sent to the terminal as output.

[2086] Step 6:

[2087] The terminal displays the menu suggested to the user on the interface, receiving the menu suggestion data sent from the server as input and displaying it in a form that can be visually confirmed by the user as output.

[2088] Step 7:

[2089] The user reviews the displayed menu and makes a selection, which is sent to the server, which receives the suggested menu as input and the selected menu as output.

[2090] Step 8:

[2091] The server receives the user's selection and stores it in the database. It receives the user's selection data as input and registers the selection as a data operation. As output, the order information is stored in the database.

[2092] Step 9:

[2093] The server arranges delivery based on the stored order information. It reads the order information from the database as input and sends the delivery arrangement information to the delivery person as output.

[2094] This will enable personalized food delivery based on the user's emotions.

[2095] 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.

[2096] 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.

[2097] 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.

[2098] 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.

[2099] 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.

[2100] 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.

[2101] 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).

[2102] 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.

[2103] 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."

[2104] 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.

[2105] 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).

[2106] 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.

[2107] 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.

[2108] 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.

[2109] 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.

[2110] 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.

[2111] 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.

[2112] 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.

[2113] 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.

[2114] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the ...
