[0692] 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."

[0693] Conventional tourist information systems were limited to providing only tourist spot information based on the tourist's current location, and did not provide information tailored to the emotions and moods of individual users. Local event information was also not optimized based on emotions, limiting the quality of tourism. Furthermore, language and cultural guides were not provided with consideration for the user's emotions, and sufficient personalization was not achieved. This made it difficult to provide an individualized experience to improve tourist satisfaction.

[0694] 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.

[0695] In this invention, the server includes a means for acquiring user location information, a means for filtering and providing tourist spot information based on the location information, and a means for analyzing the user's emotional data and optimizing related information based on the emotion. This makes it possible to provide tourists and shoppers with personalized information based on the location information and emotional data. Specifically, it is possible to provide tourist spot information, event information, language guides, and cultural guides that are appropriate for the user's current location and emotional state, thereby improving user satisfaction and the quality of the experience.

[0696] A "prepaid SIM card for tourists" is a pre-loaded SIM card that provides communication services that tourists can use temporarily.

[0697] "User Location Information" means information about a User's current geographic location obtained using GPS or other location-determining technology.

[0698] "Location-based tourist spot information" refers to information about tourist attractions and spots around the user's current location.

[0699] "Filtering" refers to the process of selecting information that meets specific conditions based on the user's location information and emotional data.

[0700] "Delivery means" refers to the process or method by which a system transmits or displays information to a user.

[0701] "User emotional data" refers to data about the user's emotional state analyzed from voice, text input, facial expressions, etc.

[0702] "Means for analyzing and optimizing relevant information based on emotions" refers to a method for analyzing acquired emotional data and adjusting and optimizing the information provided based on the results.

[0703] A "display device" is a device for visually displaying information, such as a smartphone or tablet.

[0704] "Event Information" refers to information about events and activities being held in the local area.

[0705] A "language guide" is information that provides foreign language translations and conversation examples to help users understand and communicate in the local language.

[0706] A "cultural guide" is information that provides visitors with information about the customs, history, and cultural background of the area they are visiting, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the local culture.

[0707] This invention is a system that combines a prepaid SIM card for tourists with an emotion engine to provide tourist spot information and event information based on the user's location information and emotion data.

[1346] Program processing overview

[1347] When a prepaid SIM card is inserted into a device, the device reads the ICCID and IMSI information and sends this information to the server. The server checks the information against a database and authenticates the SIM card. If authentication is successful, the server generates an activation key and sends it to the device. The device then obtains the activation key and activates the SIM card.

[1348] The device collects the user's voice, text input, or facial expression data. The collected data is analyzed by an emotion analyzer on the device or server to recognize the user's emotional state. When the user selects "recommended tourist spots," "local event information," "language guide," or "cultural guide" in the app, the device uses GPS to obtain the user's current location. The current location information and emotion data are sent to the server, which then filters and optimizes relevant information based on this information and sends it to the device. Finally, the device displays the information it has received to the user.

[1349] Specific examples

[1350] Example 1: Using emotionally-driven tourist recommendations

[1351] A user visits Tokyo and taps "recommended tourist spots" on the app. The device collects current location information and the user's emotional data and sends them to the server. The server filters tourist spot information around Tokyo from the database and optimizes the results based on the emotional data (for example, if the user is analyzed as "sad," it suggests quiet places and relaxing spots). The server sends the filtered results to the device, which displays them to the user along with detailed information.

[1352] Example 2: Emotion-based use of emergency information

[1353] When an earthquake occurs, the user feels fear and taps the "Emergency Information" button. The device sends an emergency information request along with emotional data to the server. The server extracts the latest emergency contact information and evacuation site information from the database and also provides psychological support information. The server sends the emergency information to the device, which displays it to the user and supports safe behavior.
