[0038] As an embodiment of the present invention, specific processes performed by a server, a terminal, and a user will be described below.
[0039] System Overview
[0040] The system optimizes the screening process for new subscribers and simulates the effects and impact of improvements to screening standards and procedures. In particular, it uses past data to identify bottlenecks in the screening process and simulates and predicts the effects of new screening flows, resulting in a streamlined and efficient screening process.
[0041] Program processing
[0042] 1. Data Collection
[0043] The server connects to the database and collects the past five years of review data, including application documents, review results, review periods, and reasons for rejection.
[0044] The terminal provides a function to input information about the person who wants to join through a user interface. When a user inputs information about the person who wants to join (for example, Mr. Tanaka) into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time.
[0045] Example: Mr. Tanaka wishes to sign up as a new member and enters his name, address, and application documents into the terminal. This information is sent to the server and stored in the database.
[0046] 2. Data Analysis
[0047] The server analyzes the collected past review data, performs statistical analysis, and calculates the average and standard deviation of the review period, the rate of defects in each document, and the frequency of rejection reasons.
[0048] The server provides the functionality to identify and visualize bottlenecks in the review process through data analysis.
[0049] Example: The server performs an analysis and identifies that in past reviews, 10% of cases had incomplete documentation, which is the main cause of review delays.
[0050] 3. Improvement Simulation
[0051] The terminal provides an interface that allows users to set up new screening flows (for example, introducing pre-document checks).
[0052] The server performs a comparative simulation of the old and new review flows and evaluates their efficiency and effectiveness.
[0053] Example: A user configures the introduction of a pre-document check, and the server runs a simulation, showing that the new flow reduces the review period by 20%.
[0054] 4. Predictive model generation
[0055] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses a machine learning algorithm to predict the performance of the new review process one and two years from now.
[0056] Example: The server builds a predictive model that predicts that review efficiency will improve by 15% and customer satisfaction will increase by 10 points one year from now.
[0057] 5. Generate and review reports
[0058] The server generates a report based on the simulation and prediction results, formats it in a specific format, and sends it to the terminal.
[0059] The terminal displays the generated report to the user for the user to review.
[0060] Example: The server generates a PDF report and sends it to the terminal, where the user can review it. Based on the report, the user can decide to officially implement a new review flow.
[0061] In this way, the system of the present invention can effectively optimize the new customer screening process and predict future results, which can be expected to shorten screening times, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce operational costs.
[0062] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0063] Step 1:
[0064] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[0065] Step 2:
[0066] The user uses a terminal to enter information about the new subscriber (name, address, desired plan, attachment of required documents, etc.) into an online form. The terminal then transmits the entered information to the server in real time.
[0067] Step 3:
[0068] The server performs statistical analysis based on the past review data collected, calculating the average and standard deviation of review time, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects. Next, the analysis results are used to identify bottlenecks in the review process, and the visualized analysis results are sent to the terminal.
[0069] Step 4:
[0070] The user sets up a new screening process (for example, introducing a pre-document check process) using the terminal. The terminal sends the setting information to the server.
[0071] Step 5:
[0072] The server runs a simulation based on the new audit flow that has been set up. It compares the old audit flow with the new one and calculates the efficiency and effectiveness of each (for example, the rate of reduction in audit time and cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[0073] Step 6:
[0074] The server uses a machine learning algorithm to build a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses the built model to predict the performance (e.g., review efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[0075] Step 7:
[0076] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[0077] Step 8:
[0078] The user can view the generated report via the terminal, which includes the simulation results and the output of the predictive model, providing the user with information to make decisions about future improvements to the review process.
[0079] Step 9:
[0080] Users enter feedback, which is sent from their devices to a server that records it and uses it to improve future simulations and predictive models.

[0082] Next, a description will be given of 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."
[0083] The traditional new customer application screening process involves a large number of documents and information, which can lead to processing delays and bottlenecks. It is also difficult to simulate and predict the effects of an improved screening process in advance. This makes it challenging to improve the efficiency of screening and customer satisfaction.
[0084] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0085] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting past screening data, means for inputting information on new applicants and collecting that data, means for analyzing the collected data and identifying bottlenecks in the screening process, means for setting a new screening flow and simulating it, means for predicting performance one year and two years from now using the set screening flow, means for generating a report based on the simulation and prediction results, means for checking the generated report, means for providing an interface for a terminal to set a new screening flow, and means for the server to use a machine learning algorithm when analyzing the data. This improves the efficiency of the screening process and enables the design and implementation of a predictable screening flow.

[0123] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0124] Step 1:
[0125] The server accesses the database and collects past review data. The server executes SQL queries to retrieve data such as application documents, review results, review periods, and rejection reasons from the past five years. The data is saved in CSV or JSON format and temporarily stored for later analysis. The input to this data collection process is the database connection information to the server, and the output is past review data.
[0126] Specific behavior:
[0127] The server uses an SQL query to extract past review data from the database and save it as a file. Example: SELECT FROM review_data WHERE year >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '5 years';
[0128] Step 2:

The terminal converts this information into JSON format and sends it to the server. The input is the information about the new member entered by the user, and the output is JSON format data sent to the server.
[0130] Specific behavior:
[0131] When a user enters the information of the prospective subscriber into the form and presses the submit button, the terminal converts the information into JSON format and sends it to the server as an HTTP POST request.

It uses statistical analysis tools (e.g., Python's Pandas and NumPy) to analyze the data and calculate the average and standard deviation of the review period, the rate of defects for each document, and the frequency of rejection reasons. The input is past review data, and the output is the analysis results.
[0138] Specific behavior:
[0139] The server runs a Python script, creates a data frame using the Pandas library, and performs statistical analysis. For example: import pandas as pd; data = pd.read_csv('review_data.csv'); mean_duration = data['duration'].mean();
[0140] Step 5:
[0141] The server identifies and visualizes bottlenecks in the review process based on the analysis results. It generates graphs using the R ggplot2 library to identify specific bottlenecks. The input is the analysis results, and the output is the visualized graph and the identified bottlenecks.
[0142] Specific behavior:
[0143] The server runs the R script and generates the graph using the ggplot2 library. For example: library(ggplot2); ggplot(data, aes(x=duration, y=freq)) + geom_bar(stat='identity');

The input is the simulation results and past review data, and the output is the generated predictive model.
[0154] Specific behavior:
[0155] The server builds a predictive model using machine learning libraries. Example: from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression; model = LinearRegression().fit(X, y);
[0156] Step 9:
[0157] The server generates reports based on the simulation and prediction results and formats them in a specific format (e.g. PDF, Excel). The report is created using libraries such as the ReportLab. The input is the prediction model and the simulation results, and the output is the generated report.
[0158] Specific behavior:
[0159] The server generates a PDF report using ReportLab. Example: from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter; from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas; c = canvas.Canvas("output.pdf", pagesize=letter); c.drAWS®string(100, 750, "Simulation and Prediction Report"); c.save();
[0160] Step 10:
[0161] The terminal displays the generated report to the user, allowing the user to confirm the contents. The input is the report sent from the server, and the output is the report confirmed by the user.
[0162] Specific behavior:
[0163] The device opens a PDF viewer and displays the report to the user. Example: The device displays the report using the PDF viewer in the browser.
[0164] (Application example 1)
[0165] 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."
[0166] In the conventional screening process, it is difficult to efficiently identify bottlenecks and improve the screening flow using past data.In addition, there is a lack of means to optimize the screening process for new applicants using mobile devices such as smartphones, so it is difficult to sufficiently shorten the screening time or reduce false positives.
[0167] 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.
[0168] In this invention, the server includes a means for collecting past screening data, a means for inputting information on new applicants and collecting that data, and a means for analyzing the collected data and identifying bottlenecks in the screening process. This enables efficient optimization and improvement of the screening process. Furthermore, by including a means for providing an application that is installed on a smartphone and optimizes the screening process for new applicants, screening time can be shortened and customer satisfaction can be improved.
[0169] "Past review data" refers to information related to the review process, such as past application documents, review results, review periods, and reasons for rejection.
[0170] "Information of new applicants" refers to personal information such as the name, address, and application documents of applicants.
[0171] A "bottleneck" refers to a factor or obstruction that delays progress in the review process.
[0172] "Review flow" refers to the series of steps and processes for reviewing an applicant's information and arriving at a result.
[0173] "Simulation" refers to a virtual experiment or trial conducted based on set conditions and flow.
[0174] A "smartphone" refers to a mobile device that has multifunctional data communication capabilities in addition to mobile phone functions.
[0175] An "application" refers to a software program that is installed on a device such as a smartphone and provides specific functions.
[0176] As an embodiment of the present invention, the following system is embodied.
[0177] 1. System Overview
[0178] This system collects past screening data and inputs and collects information on new applicants to efficiently identify bottlenecks in the screening process and simulate and predict new screening flows. In particular, it aims to optimize the screening process through an application installed on smartphones.
[0179] 2. Hardware and Software Used
[0180] Hardware: smartphones, tablets, servers
[0181] software:
[0182] Python and pandas are used for data collection and analysis.
[0183] For simulation and prediction, we use the random forest algorithm from scikit-learn.
[0184] Data visualization will be done using matplotlib and seaborn.
[0185] Python is used to generate reports and output them in PDF format, etc.
[0186] 3. Data processing and calculation flow
[0187] The server retrieves past screening data from the database and analyzes it to identify bottlenecks in the screening process. For example, it can identify that a specific document deficiency is the main cause of screening delays. The device (smartphone or tablet) provides an interface for entering information about new applicants and has the function of sending the collected information to the server.
[0188] The server has the function of setting up a new review flow (e.g., introducing a pre-document check) and runs a simulation to evaluate its effectiveness. This can result in results such as a shortened review period and improved customer satisfaction. The server generates a report based on the simulation results and prediction model and sends it to the terminal in a specific format such as PDF. The user can check the generated report through the terminal and evaluate its effectiveness.
[0189] 4. Specific examples and prompts for generative AI models
[0190] As a concrete example, the following simulation results can be obtained. For example, if a new review flow is introduced, it is predicted that the review period will be shortened by 20% and review efficiency will improve by 15% after one year. These results are provided to the user as a PDF report.
[0191] An example of a prompt to be input to the generative AI model is as follows:
[0192] Please provide a detailed explanation of the correlation between the rate of document deficiencies and the review period based on the review data from the past five years.
[0193] "Please predict the performance improvement if we implement a new review flow."
[0194] In this way, the system of the present invention effectively optimizes the screening process for new subscribers, shortening the screening period and improving customer satisfaction.
[0195] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0196] Step 1:
[0197] The server collects past review data from the database. Specifically, it connects to the review database and extracts information such as application documents, review results, review periods, and rejection reasons over the past five years. The input to this data collection process is the database connection information, and the output is the collected data in a data frame format.
[0198] Step 2:
[0199] The terminal provides an interface for entering information about prospective new subscribers. The user uses the terminal interface to enter their name, address, and application documents. The entered information is sent in real time to the server, where it is stored in a database. The input to this process is the information entered by the user, and the output is the new subscriber's information stored in the server database.
[0200] Step 3:
[0201] The server analyzes the collected past data. As a specific example of the analysis, the server performs statistical analysis to calculate the average and standard deviation of the review period, the defect rate of each document, and the frequency of rejection reasons. The input of this step is the collected past review data, and the output is a report containing the analysis results.
[0202] Step 4:
[0203] Based on the results of the data analysis, the server identifies bottlenecks in the review process and visualizes them. For example, the server may identify that incomplete documents are the main cause of review delays and generate the results in a visualized format such as a graph. The input to this process is the analysis results, and the output is visualized data on the bottlenecks.
[0204] Step 5:
[0205] The terminal provides an interface for setting up a new screening flow. The user sets up a new flow, such as introducing a pre-document check, through this interface. The set information is sent to the server. The input of this step is the information for the new screening flow set up by the user, and the output is the data for the new flow setting sent to the server.
[0206] Step 6:
[0207] The server simulates the old and new review flows and evaluates their efficiency and effectiveness. Specifically, the server uses the collected data and new flow information to run machine learning algorithms such as RandomForestClassifier to simulate the new flow. The inputs to this step are past data and new flow information, and the output is performance evaluation data as the simulation results.
[0208] Step 7:
[0209] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data. For example, it uses a machine learning algorithm to predict how a new screening process will perform one and two years from now. The inputs to this process are the simulation results and past data, and the output is the results of the predictive model.
[0210] Step 8:
[0211] The server generates a report based on the prediction results and sends it to the terminal. The report is formatted in a specific format (e.g., PDF) and includes visualization data. The user can view the generated report through the terminal and evaluate the effectiveness. The input of this step is the results from the predictive model, and the output is the generated report.
[0212] The above steps realize a concrete system for optimizing the screening process for new subscribers.
[0213] 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.
[0214] As an embodiment of the present invention, specific processing by a server, a terminal, a user, and an emotion engine will be described below.
[0215] System Overview
[0216] The system optimizes the screening process for new subscribers and simulates the effects and impact of improvements to screening standards and procedures. In particular, it uses past data to identify bottlenecks in the screening process and simulates and predicts the effects of new screening flows. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes user emotions, the system can further improve the system based on emotion analysis of user feedback.
[0217] Program processing
[0218] 1. Data Collection
[0219] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[0220] The terminal provides a function to input information about the person who wants to join through a user interface. When a user inputs information about the person who wants to join (for example, Mr. Tanaka) into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time.
[0221] Example: Mr. Tanaka wishes to sign up as a new member and enters his name, address, and application documents into the terminal. This information is sent to the server and stored in the database.
[0222] 2. Data Analysis
[0223] The server performs statistical analysis based on the collected past review data, calculating the average and standard deviation of review times, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects.
[0224] The server identifies bottlenecks in the review process through data analysis and transmits them to the terminal in a visualized form.
[0225] Example: The server performs an analysis and identifies that in past reviews, 10% of cases had incomplete documentation, which is the main cause of review delays.
[0226] 3. Improvement Simulation
[0227] The terminal provides an interface that allows users to set up a new screening flow (for example, introducing a pre-document check process). When the user inputs new settings, the terminal sends the setting information to the server.
[0228] The server runs a simulation based on the new screening flow. It compares the old and new screening flows and evaluates their efficiency and effectiveness (reduced screening time, cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[0229] Example: A user configures the introduction of a pre-document check, and the server runs a simulation, showing that the new flow reduces the review period by 20%.
[0230] 4. Predictive model generation
[0231] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses a machine learning algorithm to predict the performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[0232] Example: The server builds a predictive model that predicts that review efficiency will improve by 15% and customer satisfaction will increase by 10 points one year from now.
[0233] 5. Generate and review reports
[0234] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[0235] The terminal displays the generated report to the user and provides an interface for the user to review the report and enter feedback.
[0236] Example: The server generates a PDF report and sends it to the terminal, where the user can review it. Based on the report, the user can decide to officially implement a new review flow.
[0237] 6. Emotion Recognition by Emotion Engine
[0238] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they review the report, and the results of the emotion recognition are sent to the server for analysis.
[0239] Example: While a user is viewing a report, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions (e.g., satisfaction, dissatisfaction, excitement, disappointment) via a webcam or microphone and transmits them to the server in real time.
[0240] 7. Emotional Data Analysis and Feedback
[0241] The server analyzes the emotional data from the emotion engine and suggests further improvements to the review process based on the user's emotional state. The server comprehensively evaluates the feedback entered by the user and the results of the emotional data analysis to help improve the process in the future.
[0242] Example: The server analyzes sentiment data and user feedback to identify, for example, which specific process steps are causing user frustration. Based on this, further flow improvements are suggested.
[0243] In this way, the system of the present invention not only effectively optimizes the new customer screening process, but also takes into account the user's emotional state to suggest further improvements, thereby further shortening the screening period, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing operational costs.
[0244] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0245] Step 1:
[0246] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[0247] Step 2:
[0248] The user uses a terminal to enter information about the new subscriber (name, address, desired plan, attachment of required documents, etc.) into an online form. The terminal then transmits the entered information to the server in real time.
[0249] Step 3:
[0250] Statistical analysis is performed based on past review data collected by the server, calculating the average and standard deviation of review time, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects.
[0251] Step 4:
[0252] The server uses the analysis results to identify bottlenecks in the review process and transmits the visualized analysis results to the terminal, using graphs and heat maps.
[0253] Step 5:
[0254] The user sets up a new screening process (for example, introducing a pre-document check process) using the terminal. The terminal sends the setting information to the server.
[0255] Step 6:
[0256] The server runs a simulation based on the new screening flow that has been set up. The old screening flow is compared with the new one, and the efficiency and effectiveness of each (review period reduction rate, cost reduction effect) are evaluated. The simulation results are visualized in graphs and tables and sent to the terminal.
[0257] Step 7:
[0258] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses machine learning algorithms (such as linear regression or random forest) to predict performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) one and two years into the future.
[0259] Step 8:
[0260] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[0261] Step 9:
[0262] The user checks the generated report through the terminal, evaluates the proposed improvements to the review process based on the report contents, and makes a final decision.
[0263] Step 10:
[0264] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they review the report, and the results of the emotion recognition are sent to the server for analysis.
[0265] Step 11:
[0266] The server analyzes the emotional data from the emotion engine and suggests further improvements to the review process based on the user's emotional state. The server comprehensively evaluates the feedback entered by the user and the results of the emotional data analysis to help improve the process in the future.

[0268] 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."
[0269] In the conventional review process, bottlenecks were identified by analyzing past data and the effectiveness of new flows was simulated, but there were limitations to improving the efficiency of the overall review process or customer satisfaction. Furthermore, it was not possible to reflect user sentiment in real time, and the quality of feedback was insufficient. As a result, the reduction of review time and operational costs was not fully achieved.
[0270] 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.

[0277] A means of reviewing the generated report;
[0278] A means for recognizing user emotions in real time and collecting the results;
[0279] A means to analyze the collected sentiment data and suggest further improvements to the review process; and
[0280] This will make the screening process more efficient, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce operational costs.

[0291] To implement this invention, a system is used that combines a terminal for collecting past screening data and inputting information on new applicants, a server for analyzing the data and setting up and simulating new screening flows, and an emotion engine that recognizes user emotions in real time.
[0292] System Configuration
[0293] This system consists of multiple pieces of hardware and software, as follows:
[0294] 1. Server: Performs large-volume data processing, analysis, and simulation.
[0295] 2. Client Device: Provides an interface for users to enter information about new subscribers and confirm the data.
[0296] 3. Emotion Recognition Engine: A module that analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to recognize emotions.
[0297] Hardware and Software
[0298] The servers are equipped with high-performance CPUs and GPUs, and a comprehensive database management system (e.g., MySQL (registered trademark), PostgreSQL). Data analysis uses Python and related packages (e.g., pandas, numpy, scikit-learn).
[0299] The terminals used are PCs and tablets, which allow users to access the system through a web browser. Web applications are built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (registered trademark) (e.g., React.js).
[0300] The emotion engine uses input devices such as cameras and microphones, as well as software (e.g., OpenCV, TensorFlow) that controls and analyzes them.
[0301] Program processing flow
[0302] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). This data is then converted into a format that can be used for analysis after missing values are imputed and data normalization is performed.
[0303] The terminal provides a function to input information of new subscribers through a user interface. When a user inputs information of a subscriber, the information is sent to the server in real time and stored in a database.
[0304] The server performs statistical analysis of the collected audit data to identify bottlenecks. The identified bottlenecks are visualized and sent to the terminal. The server then simulates the new audit flow and compares it with the conventional flow to evaluate its efficiency and effectiveness.
[0305] A predictive model is built based on the simulation results and past data, and performance one and two years after the new flow is implemented is predicted. Finally, a report is generated based on the simulation and prediction results and sent to the terminal in PDF format or other format.
[0306] While users are reviewing the report, the emotion engine recognizes their emotions in real time and sends the data to the server, which analyzes the emotion data and provides user feedback to suggest further improvements to the review process.
[0307] Specific examples
[0308] For example, when a user enters information about a prospective new member into a terminal (such as name, address, and application documents), this information is sent to the server and stored in a database. The server analyzes this data and, based on past screening data, identifies incomplete documents as a major bottleneck. The user sets up a new screening flow from the terminal (for example, introducing a pre-document check process), and the server simulates it, showing that the screening period can be reduced by 20%.
[0309] Example prompts from a generative AI model:
[0310] "Please enter the information of the person wishing to sign up. We will propose the optimal screening process based on the analysis of screening data from the past five years."
[0311] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0312] Step 1: Data collection
[0313] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). The collected data is then filled in with missing values, normalized, and converted into a format that can be used for analysis. Specifically, SQL queries are executed to extract data from the database and preprocessed using Python.
[0314] Input: Database connection information and SQL query
[0315] Output: Preprocessed audit dataset
[0316] Step 2: Enter information about new members
[0317] The terminal provides a function that allows users to input information about prospective subscribers through a user interface. When a user inputs information such as the prospective subscriber's name, address, and application documents into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time. The terminal is built using a web application (e.g., React.js), and the input information is sent to the server via an AJAX request.
[0318] Input: Subscriber information entered by the user into the terminal
[0319] Output: Subscriber information sent to the server
[0320] Step 3: Data analysis
[0321] Statistical analysis is performed based on past review data collected by the server. Specifically, data frames are manipulated using Python's pandas and numpy to calculate the average and standard deviation of review periods, the frequency of each reason for rejection, and the rate of incomplete application documents.
[0322] Input: Preprocessed audit dataset
[0323] Output: Calculated statistics (average review period, frequency of rejection reasons, etc.)
[0324] Step 4: Identify bottlenecks
[0325] The server analyzes the data to identify bottlenecks in the review process. Based on this statistical data, the server identifies specific items (e.g., incomplete documents) or specific process steps (e.g., review delays). The results are visualized in graphs and charts and sent to the terminal.
[0326] Input: Calculated statistic value
[0327] Output: Visualized data of bottleneck identification results
[0328] Step 5: Setting up and simulating a new review flow
[0329] The terminal provides the user with an interface that allows them to set up a new screening flow. The user sets up a new flow (for example, the introduction of a pre-document check process), and the information is sent to the server. Based on this information, the server simulates the old and new screening flows and evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of each flow (reduction in screening time, cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[0330] Input: Information about the new screening flow configured by the user
[0331] Output: Visualized data of the simulation results of the old and new screening flows
[0332] Step 6: Generate a predictive model
[0333] The server generates a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data. Specifically, it uses a Python machine learning package (e.g., scikit-learn) to build a model that predicts the performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[0334] Input: Simulation results and past audit data
[0335] Output: Prediction model and results (prediction performance after 1 year and 2 years)
[0336] Step 7: Generate and review the report
[0337] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results. The report is formatted in PDF format or similar and sent to the terminal. The terminal displays the generated report to the user and provides an interface where the user can review the report and enter feedback.
[0338] Input: Prediction model and its results
[0339] Output: Report in PDF format
[0340] Step 8: Emotion Recognition with the Emotion Engine
[0341] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they check the report. Specifically, it analyzes data collected through the camera and microphone using OpenCV and TensorFlow to generate emotion data, which is then sent to the server.
[0342] Input: Real-time data collected from cameras and microphones
[0343] Output: Emotion data
[0344] Step 9: Emotional Data Analysis and Feedback
[0345] The server analyzes the emotion data sent from the emotion engine, evaluates it comprehensively with user feedback, and proposes further improvements to the review process. For analysis, Python analysis libraries (e.g., pandas, numpy) are used.
[0346] Input: Emotion data and user feedback
[0347] Output: Improvement proposal data and feedback report
[0348] Through the above processing steps, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the new subscriber screening process and customer satisfaction.

Furthermore, bottlenecks in the screening process were often not clearly identified, preventing effective improvements. Furthermore, the screening process proceeded without taking into consideration the user's feelings, potentially increasing user dissatisfaction and stress. A system that solves these problems and realizes an efficient screening process with high user satisfaction is needed.
[0352] The identification processing by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means.

This enables an efficient and accurate screening process for new applicants and the provision of feedback that takes user emotions into consideration.
[0353] "Past screening data" refers to historical information such as information on the screening process for past new applicants, application documents, screening results, screening period, and reasons for rejection.
[0354] "Information on new subscribers" refers to personal information such as the name, address, and application documents of users who wish to sign up for a new membership, as well as the contents of that application.
[0355] A "bottleneck" refers to a major obstacle or problem that causes delays or inefficiencies in the new member screening process.
[0356] "New review flow" refers to the newly established review procedures and processes to improve, streamline and optimize the existing review flow.
[0357] "Simulation" refers to a method for virtually simulating a new review flow and evaluating its effectiveness and efficiency.
[0358] "Performance" refers to the efficiency resulting from the operation of the established review flow, the rate at which the review period is shortened, the cost reduction effect, and customer satisfaction, etc.
[0359] "Report" refers to a detailed report prepared based on the simulation and prediction results.
[0360] An "emotion recognition engine" refers to a software module that identifies and analyzes emotions from a user's facial expressions and voice in real time.
[0361] "Feedback" refers to information and advice to suggest further improvements and modifications based on user sentiment and reactions to the actual review process.
[0362] "Data analysis" refers to a method of statistically analyzing collected past screening data and information on new applicants to identify problems in the screening process.
[0363] "Visualization" refers to a method of representing analysis and simulation results in a visual format such as a graph or chart.
[0364] "Format" refers to the rules and style for organizing and formatting reports and data according to a particular format or standard.
[0365] As an embodiment of the present invention, specific processing by a server, a terminal, a user, and an emotion engine will be described below.
[0366] The system configuration is as follows:
[0367] 1. Server: This is the central component for data collection, analysis, simulation, prediction, report generation, and sentiment data analysis.
[0368] 2. Terminal: Provides an interface for new subscribers to enter information, check reports, and enter feedback.

[0370] 4. Emotion engine: A software module for recognizing the user's emotions in real time and transmitting them to the server.
[0371] Program processing overview
[0372] server
[0373] The server connects to a database to collect past review data. Specifically, it collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis. The server then analyzes the collected data and identifies bottlenecks in the review process. Furthermore, the server simulates a new review flow and predicts performance one and two years from now based on the results. A report is generated based on the prediction and simulation results. Emotion data sent from the emotion engine is also analyzed and reflected as feedback.
[0374] Terminal
[0375] The terminal provides an interface where users can input information about prospective subscribers, which is then transmitted to the server in real time. The terminal also provides generated reports to the users and provides an interface for inputting feedback.
[0376] User
[0377] The user inputs the information of the new subscriber through the terminal, checks the generated report, and also inputs feedback, which is sent to the server.
[0378] Emotion Engine
[0379] The emotion engine recognizes emotions in real time while the user is checking the report and sends the results to a server, such as Google® Cloud Natural Language API or Microsoft® Azure® Text Analytics.
[0380] Hardware and software used
[0381] Hardware: Smartphone (iOS / ANDROID (registered trademark)), server (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
[0382] software:

[0385] Specific examples
[0386] For example, when a prospective new member enters their information using a smartphone, that information is saved in real time on a server. The server then conducts a review based on that information and past data, simulating a new review flow. The results show that adopting a specific flow can shorten the review period. Furthermore, as the user reviews the report, an emotion engine recognizes emotions in real time, and emotions such as dissatisfaction or satisfaction are sent to the server.

In particular, it uses past data to identify bottlenecks in the screening process and simulates and predicts the effects of new screening flows, resulting in a streamlined and efficient screening process.
[0432] Program processing
[0433] 1. Data Collection
[0434] The server connects to the database and collects the past five years of review data, including application documents, review results, review periods, and reasons for rejection.
[0435] The terminal provides a function to input information about the person who wants to join through a user interface. When a user inputs information about the person who wants to join (for example, Mr. Tanaka) into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time.
[0436] Example: Mr. Tanaka wishes to sign up as a new member and enters his name, address, and application documents into the terminal. This information is sent to the server and stored in the database.
[0437] 2. Data Analysis

[0456] Step 2:
[0457] The user uses a terminal to enter information about the new subscriber (name, address, desired plan, attachment of required documents, etc.) into an online form. The terminal then transmits the entered information to the server in real time.
[0458] Step 3:
[0459] The server performs statistical analysis based on the past review data collected, calculating the average and standard deviation of review time, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects.

[0462] Step 5:
[0463] The server runs a simulation based on the new audit flow that has been set up. It compares the old audit flow with the new one and calculates the efficiency and effectiveness of each (for example, the rate of reduction in audit time and cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[0464] Step 6:
[0465] The server uses a machine learning algorithm to build a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses the built model to predict the performance (e.g., review efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[0466] Step 7:
[0467] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[0468] Step 8:
[0469] The user can view the generated report via the terminal, which includes the simulation results and the output of the predictive model, providing the user with information to make decisions about future improvements to the review process.

The user can check the generated report through the terminal and evaluate its effectiveness.
[0580] 4. Specific examples and prompts for generative AI models
[0581] As a concrete example, the following simulation results can be obtained. For example, if a new review flow is introduced, it is predicted that the review period will be shortened by 20% and review efficiency will improve by 15% after one year. These results are provided to the user as a PDF report.
[0582] An example of a prompt to be input to the generative AI model is as follows:
[0583] Please provide a detailed explanation of the correlation between the rate of document deficiencies and the review period based on the review data from the past five years.
[0584] "Please predict the performance improvement if we implement a new review flow."
[0585] In this way, the system of the present invention effectively optimizes the screening process for new subscribers, shortening the screening period and improving customer satisfaction.
[0586] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0587] Step 1:
[0588] The server collects past review data from the database. Specifically, it connects to the review database and extracts information such as application documents, review results, review periods, and rejection reasons over the past five years. The input to this data collection process is the database connection information, and the output is the collected data in a data frame format.
[0589] Step 2:
[0590] The terminal provides an interface for entering information about prospective new subscribers. The user uses the terminal interface to enter their name, address, and application documents. The entered information is sent in real time to the server, where it is stored in a database. The input to this process is the information entered by the user, and the output is the new subscriber's information stored in the server database.
[0591] Step 3:
[0592] The server analyzes the collected past data. As a specific example of the analysis, the server performs statistical analysis to calculate the average and standard deviation of the review period, the defect rate of each document, and the frequency of rejection reasons. The input of this step is the collected past review data, and the output is a report containing the analysis results.
[0593] Step 4:
[0594] Based on the results of the data analysis, the server identifies bottlenecks in the review process and visualizes them. For example, the server may identify that incomplete documents are the main cause of review delays and generate the results in a visualized format such as a graph. The input to this process is the analysis results, and the output is visualized data on the bottlenecks.
[0595] Step 5:
[0596] The terminal provides an interface for setting up a new screening flow. The user sets up a new flow, such as introducing a pre-document check, through this interface. The set information is sent to the server. The input of this step is the information for the new screening flow set up by the user, and the output is the data for the new flow setting sent to the server.
[0597] Step 6:
[0598] The server simulates the old and new review flows and evaluates their efficiency and effectiveness. Specifically, the server uses the collected data and new flow information to run machine learning algorithms such as RandomForestClassifier to simulate the new flow. The inputs to this step are past data and new flow information, and the output is performance evaluation data as the simulation results.
[0599] Step 7:
[0600] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data. For example, it uses a machine learning algorithm to predict how a new screening process will perform one and two years from now. The inputs to this process are the simulation results and past data, and the output is the results of the predictive model.
[0601] Step 8:
[0602] The server generates a report based on the prediction results and sends it to the terminal. The report is formatted in a specific format (e.g., PDF) and includes visualization data. The user can view the generated report through the terminal and evaluate the effectiveness. The input of this step is the results from the predictive model, and the output is the generated report.
[0603] The above steps realize a concrete system for optimizing the screening process for new subscribers.
[0604] 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.
[0605] As an embodiment of the present invention, specific processing by a server, a terminal, a user, and an emotion engine will be described below.
[0606] System Overview
[0607] The system optimizes the screening process for new subscribers and simulates the effects and impact of improvements to screening standards and procedures. In particular, it uses past data to identify bottlenecks in the screening process and simulates and predicts the effects of new screening flows. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes user emotions, the system can further improve the system based on emotion analysis of user feedback.
[0608] Program processing
[0609] 1. Data Collection
[0610] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[0611] The terminal provides a function to input information about the person who wants to join through a user interface. When a user inputs information about the person who wants to join (for example, Mr. Tanaka) into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time.
[0612] Example: Mr. Tanaka wishes to sign up as a new member and enters his name, address, and application documents into the terminal. This information is sent to the server and stored in the database.
[0613] 2. Data Analysis
[0614] The server performs statistical analysis based on the collected past review data, calculating the average and standard deviation of review times, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects.
[0615] The server identifies bottlenecks in the review process through data analysis and transmits them to the terminal in a visualized form.
[0616] Example: The server performs an analysis and identifies that in past reviews, 10% of cases had incomplete documentation, which is the main cause of review delays.
[0617] 3. Improvement Simulation
[0618] The terminal provides an interface that allows users to set up a new screening flow (for example, introducing a pre-document check process). When the user inputs new settings, the terminal sends the setting information to the server.
[0619] The server runs a simulation based on the new screening flow. It compares the old and new screening flows and evaluates their efficiency and effectiveness (reduced screening time, cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[0620] Example: A user configures the introduction of a pre-document check, and the server runs a simulation, showing that the new flow reduces the review period by 20%.
[0621] 4. Predictive model generation
[0622] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses a machine learning algorithm to predict the performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[0623] Example: The server builds a predictive model that predicts that review efficiency will improve by 15% and customer satisfaction will increase by 10 points one year from now.
[0624] 5. Generate and review reports
[0625] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[0626] The terminal displays the generated report to the user and provides an interface for the user to review the report and enter feedback.
[0627] Example: The server generates a PDF report and sends it to the terminal, where the user can review it. Based on the report, the user can decide to officially implement a new review flow.
[0628] 6. Emotion Recognition by Emotion Engine
[0629] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they review the report, and the results of the emotion recognition are sent to the server for analysis.
[0630] Example: While a user is viewing a report, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions (e.g., satisfaction, dissatisfaction, excitement, disappointment) via a webcam or microphone and transmits them to the server in real time.
[0631] 7. Emotional Data Analysis and Feedback
[0632] The server analyzes the emotional data from the emotion engine and suggests further improvements to the review process based on the user's emotional state. The server comprehensively evaluates the feedback entered by the user and the results of the emotional data analysis to help improve the process in the future.
[0633] Example: The server analyzes sentiment data and user feedback to identify, for example, which specific process steps are causing user frustration. Based on this, further flow improvements are suggested.
[0634] In this way, the system of the present invention not only effectively optimizes the new customer screening process, but also takes into account the user's emotional state to suggest further improvements, thereby further shortening the screening period, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing operational costs.
[0635] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0636] Step 1:
[0637] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[0638] Step 2:
[0639] The user uses a terminal to enter information about the new subscriber (name, address, desired plan, attachment of required documents, etc.) into an online form. The terminal then transmits the entered information to the server in real time.
[0640] Step 3:
[0641] Statistical analysis is performed based on past review data collected by the server, calculating the average and standard deviation of review time, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects.
[0642] Step 4:
[0643] The server uses the analysis results to identify bottlenecks in the review process and transmits the visualized analysis results to the terminal, using graphs and heat maps.
[0644] Step 5:
[0645] The user sets up a new screening process (for example, introducing a pre-document check process) using the terminal. The terminal sends the setting information to the server.
[0646] Step 6:
[0647] The server runs a simulation based on the new screening flow that has been set up. The old screening flow is compared with the new one, and the efficiency and effectiveness of each (review period reduction rate, cost reduction effect) are evaluated. The simulation results are visualized in graphs and tables and sent to the terminal.
[0648] Step 7:
[0649] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses machine learning algorithms (such as linear regression or random forest) to predict performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) one and two years into the future.
[0650] Step 8:
[0651] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[0652] Step 9:
[0653] The user checks the generated report through the terminal, evaluates the proposed improvements to the review process based on the report contents, and makes a final decision.
[0654] Step 10:
[0655] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they review the report, and the results of the emotion recognition are sent to the server for analysis.
[0656] Step 11:
[0657] The server analyzes the emotional data from the emotion engine and suggests further improvements to the review process based on the user's emotional state. The server comprehensively evaluates the feedback entered by the user and the results of the emotional data analysis to help improve the process in the future.

[0659] 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."
[0660] In the conventional review process, bottlenecks were identified by analyzing past data and the effectiveness of new flows was simulated, but there were limitations to improving the efficiency of the overall review process or customer satisfaction. Furthermore, it was not possible to reflect user sentiment in real time, and the quality of feedback was insufficient. As a result, the reduction of review time and operational costs was not fully achieved.
[0661] 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.

[0667] a means for generating reports based on the simulation and prediction results;
[0668] A means of reviewing the generated report;
[0669] A means for recognizing user emotions in real time and collecting the results;
[0670] A means to analyze the collected sentiment data and suggest further improvements to the review process; and
[0671] This will make the screening process more efficient, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce operational costs.
[0672] "Review Data" refers to all data related to the review process, including past application documents, review results, review periods, and reasons for rejection.
[0673] "Information of prospective subscribers" refers to all information provided by users who wish to sign up, such as the name, address, and application documents of users who wish to sign up.
[0674] A "bottleneck" refers to an item or step in the review process that tends to slow down processing and reduce efficiency.
[0675] "Review flow" refers to the order and method of each step and procedure in the review process.
[0676] "Simulation" refers to a computer-based analytical method used to virtually implement a new review process and predict its effects.
[0677] "Performance prediction" refers to using machine learning algorithms to predict review efficiency and customer satisfaction one and two years after the introduction of a new review process.

[0682] To implement this invention, a system is used that combines a terminal for collecting past screening data and inputting information on new applicants, a server for analyzing the data and setting up and simulating new screening flows, and an emotion engine that recognizes user emotions in real time.
[0683] System Configuration
[0684] This system consists of multiple pieces of hardware and software, as follows:
[0685] 1. Server: Performs large-volume data processing, analysis, and simulation.
[0686] 2. Client Device: Provides an interface for users to enter information about new subscribers and confirm the data.
[0687] 3. Emotion Recognition Engine: A module that analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to recognize emotions.
[0688] Hardware and Software
[0689] The servers are equipped with high-performance CPUs and GPUs, and feature a comprehensive database management system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL). Data analysis uses Python and related packages (e.g., pandas, numpy, scikit-learn).
[0690] The terminals used are PCs and tablets, which allow users to access the system through a web browser. Web applications are built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (e.g., React.js).
[0691] The emotion engine uses input devices such as cameras and microphones, as well as software (e.g., OpenCV, TensorFlow) that controls and analyzes them.
[0692] Program processing flow
[0693] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). This data is then converted into a format that can be used for analysis after missing values are imputed and data normalization is performed.
[0694] The terminal provides a function to input information of new subscribers through a user interface. When a user inputs information of a subscriber, the information is sent to the server in real time and stored in a database.
[0695] The server performs statistical analysis of the collected audit data to identify bottlenecks. The identified bottlenecks are visualized and sent to the terminal. The server then simulates the new audit flow and compares it with the conventional flow to evaluate its efficiency and effectiveness.
[0696] A predictive model is built based on the simulation results and past data, and performance one and two years after the new flow is implemented is predicted. Finally, a report is generated based on the simulation and prediction results and sent to the terminal in PDF format or other format.
[0697] While users are reviewing the report, the emotion engine recognizes their emotions in real time and sends the data to the server, which analyzes the emotion data and provides user feedback to suggest further improvements to the review process.
[0698] Specific examples
[0699] For example, when a user enters information about a prospective new member into a terminal (such as name, address, and application documents), this information is sent to the server and stored in a database. The server analyzes this data and, based on past screening data, identifies incomplete documents as a major bottleneck. The user sets up a new screening flow from the terminal (for example, introducing a pre-document check process), and the server simulates it, showing that the screening period can be reduced by 20%.
[0700] Example prompts from a generative AI model:
[0701] "Please enter the information of the person wishing to sign up. We will propose the optimal screening process based on the analysis of screening data from the past five years."
[0702] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0703] Step 1: Data collection
[0704] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). The collected data is then filled in with missing values, normalized, and converted into a format that can be used for analysis. Specifically, SQL queries are executed to extract data from the database and preprocessed using Python.
[0705] Input: Database connection information and SQL query
[0706] Output: Preprocessed audit dataset
[0707] Step 2: Enter information about new members
[0708] The terminal provides a function that allows users to input information about prospective subscribers through a user interface. When a user inputs information such as the prospective subscriber's name, address, and application documents into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time. The terminal is built using a web application (e.g., React.js), and the input information is sent to the server via an AJAX request.
[0709] Input: Subscriber information entered by the user into the terminal
[0710] Output: Subscriber information sent to the server
[0711] Step 3: Data analysis
[0712] Statistical analysis is performed based on past review data collected by the server. Specifically, data frames are manipulated using Python's pandas and numpy to calculate the average and standard deviation of review periods, the frequency of each reason for rejection, and the rate of incomplete application documents.
[0713] Input: Preprocessed audit dataset
[0714] Output: Calculated statistics (average review period, frequency of rejection reasons, etc.)
[0715] Step 4: Identify bottlenecks
[0716] The server analyzes the data to identify bottlenecks in the review process. Based on this statistical data, the server identifies specific items (e.g., incomplete documents) or specific process steps (e.g., review delays). The results are visualized in graphs and charts and sent to the terminal.
[0717] Input: Calculated statistic value
[0718] Output: Visualized data of bottleneck identification results
[0719] Step 5: Setting up and simulating a new review flow
[0720] The terminal provides the user with an interface that allows them to set up a new screening flow. The user sets up a new flow (for example, the introduction of a pre-document check process), and the information is sent to the server. Based on this information, the server simulates the old and new screening flows and evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of each flow (reduction in screening time, cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[0721] Input: Information about the new screening flow configured by the user
[0722] Output: Visualized data of the simulation results of the old and new screening flows
[0723] Step 6: Generate a predictive model
[0724] The server generates a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data. Specifically, it uses a Python machine learning package (e.g., scikit-learn) to build a model that predicts the performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[0725] Input: Simulation results and past audit data
[0726] Output: Prediction model and results (prediction performance after 1 year and 2 years)
[0727] Step 7: Generate and review the report
[0728] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results. The report is formatted in PDF format or similar and sent to the terminal. The terminal displays the generated report to the user and provides an interface where the user can review the report and enter feedback.
[0729] Input: Prediction model and its results
[0730] Output: Report in PDF format
[0731] Step 8: Emotion Recognition with the Emotion Engine
[0732] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they check the report. Specifically, it analyzes data collected through the camera and microphone using OpenCV and TensorFlow to generate emotion data, which is then sent to the server.
[0733] Input: Real-time data collected from cameras and microphones
[0734] Output: Emotion data
[0735] Step 9: Emotional Data Analysis and Feedback
[0736] The server analyzes the emotion data sent from the emotion engine, evaluates it comprehensively with user feedback, and proposes further improvements to the review process. For analysis, Python analysis libraries (e.g., pandas, numpy) are used.
[0737] Input: Emotion data and user feedback
[0738] Output: Improvement proposal data and feedback report
[0739] Through the above processing steps, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the new subscriber screening process and customer satisfaction.

[0742] In the conventional new subscriber screening process, collecting and analyzing application data and improving the screening flow took time, resulting in problems that reduced user satisfaction. Furthermore, bottlenecks in the screening process were often not clearly identified, preventing effective improvements. Furthermore, the screening process proceeded without taking into consideration the user's feelings, potentially increasing user dissatisfaction and stress. A system that solves these problems and realizes an efficient screening process with high user satisfaction is needed.
[0743] The identification processing by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting past screening data, means for inputting information on new applicants and collecting the data, means for analyzing the collected data and identifying bottlenecks in the screening process, means for setting a new screening flow and simulating it, means for predicting performance one year and two years from now using the set screening flow, means for generating a report based on the simulation and prediction results, means for checking the generated report, means for recognizing user emotions in real time using an emotion recognition engine, and means for providing feedback based on the recognized emotion data. This enables an efficient and accurate screening process for new applicants and the provision of feedback that takes user emotions into consideration.
[0744] "Past screening data" refers to historical information such as information on the screening process for past new applicants, application documents, screening results, screening period, and reasons for rejection.
[0745] "Information on new subscribers" refers to personal information such as the name, address, and application documents of users who wish to sign up for a new membership, as well as the contents of that application.
[0746] A "bottleneck" refers to a major obstacle or problem that causes delays or inefficiencies in the new member screening process.
[0747] "New review flow" refers to the newly established review procedures and processes to improve, streamline and optimize the existing review flow.
[0748] "Simulation" refers to a method for virtually simulating a new review flow and evaluating its effectiveness and efficiency.
[0749] "Performance" refers to the efficiency resulting from the operation of the established review flow, the rate at which the review period is shortened, the cost reduction effect, and customer satisfaction, etc.
[0750] "Report" refers to a detailed report prepared based on the simulation and prediction results.
[0751] An "emotion recognition engine" refers to a software module that identifies and analyzes emotions from a user's facial expressions and voice in real time.
[0752] "Feedback" refers to information and advice to suggest further improvements and modifications based on user sentiment and reactions to the actual review process.
[0753] "Data analysis" refers to a method of statistically analyzing collected past screening data and information on new applicants to identify problems in the screening process.
[0754] "Visualization" refers to a method of representing analysis and simulation results in a visual format such as a graph or chart.
[0755] "Format" refers to the rules and style for organizing and formatting reports and data according to a particular format or standard.
[0756] As an embodiment of the present invention, specific processing by a server, a terminal, a user, and an emotion engine will be described below.
[0757] The system configuration is as follows:
[0758] 1. Server: This is the central component for data collection, analysis, simulation, prediction, report generation, and sentiment data analysis.
[0759] 2. Terminal: Provides an interface for new subscribers to enter information, check reports, and enter feedback.
[0760] 3. User: A person who wishes to join or an operator in charge of improving the screening process.
[0761] 4. Emotion engine: A software module for recognizing the user's emotions in real time and transmitting them to the server.
[0762] Program processing overview
[0763] server
[0764] The server connects to a database to collect past review data. Specifically, it collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis. The server then analyzes the collected data and identifies bottlenecks in the review process. Furthermore, the server simulates a new review flow and predicts performance one and two years from now based on the results. A report is generated based on the prediction and simulation results. Emotion data sent from the emotion engine is also analyzed and reflected as feedback.
[0765] Terminal
[0766] The terminal provides an interface where users can input information about prospective subscribers, which is then transmitted to the server in real time. The terminal also provides generated reports to the users and provides an interface for inputting feedback.
[0767] User
[0768] The user inputs the information of the new subscriber through the terminal, checks the generated report, and also inputs feedback, which is sent to the server.
[0769] Emotion Engine
[0770] The emotion engine recognizes emotions in real time while the user is reviewing the report and sends the results to a server, such as Google Cloud Natural Language API or Microsoft Azure Text Analytics.
[0771] Hardware and software used
[0772] Hardware: Smartphones (iOS / Android), servers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
[0773] software:
[0774] Google Cloud Natural Language API or Microsoft Azure Text Analytics: Emotion Recognition Engine
[0775] PostgreSQL or MySQL: Database Management Systems
[0776] Specific examples
[0777] For example, when a prospective new member enters their information using a smartphone, that information is saved in real time on a server. The server then conducts a review based on that information and past data, simulating a new review flow. The results show that adopting a specific flow can shorten the review period. Furthermore, as the user reviews the report, an emotion engine recognizes emotions in real time, and emotions such as dissatisfaction or satisfaction are sent to the server. Based on this, further improvements to the flow are proposed.
[0778] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0779] "Simulate new review flows and evaluate their effectiveness. Identify areas for improvement based on past review data and use simulation results to generate predictive models. Also, recognize user sentiment data in real time and use it to suggest further improvements."
[0780] In this way, the present invention effectively optimizes the screening process for new subscribers and provides feedback that takes into account the user's emotional state, thereby shortening the screening period, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing operating costs.
[0781] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0782] Step 1:
[0783] The server collects past review data from a database. It collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) and performs preprocessing, including missing value imputation and data normalization. The input is the past review data in the database, and the output is data converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[0784] Step 2:
[0785] The terminal provides a function for inputting information about new members through a user interface. When a user inputs information such as name, address, and application documents into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time. The input is the information about new members entered by the user, and the output is the information about new members sent to the server.
[0786] Step 3:
[0787] The server performs statistical analysis based on the collected historical data and information on new applicants. The analysis involves calculating the average and standard deviation of the review period, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects. The input is the preprocessed historical data and information on new applicants, and the output is the analysis results.
[0788] Step 4:
[0789] The server identifies bottlenecks in the review process through data analysis, visualizes them, and sends them to the terminal. For example, it identifies that incomplete documents are the main cause of review delays. The input is the data analysis results, and the output is visualized bottleneck information.
[0790] Step 5:
[0791] The terminal provides an interface that allows the user to set up a new screening flow (for example, the introduction of a pre-document check process). When the user inputs the new settings, the terminal sends the setting information to the server. The input is the information of the new screening flow set by the user, and the output is the information of the new screening flow sent to the server.
[0792] Step 6:
[0793] The server runs a simulation based on the new review flow. It compares it with the conventional review flow and evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of each (review period reduction rate, cost reduction effect). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal. The input is information about the new review flow, and the output is the simulation results.
[0794] Step 7:
[0795] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data. It uses a machine learning algorithm to predict the performance of the new screening process one and two years from now. The inputs are the simulation results and past data, and the output is the results of the predictive model.
[0796] Step 8:

[0820] As an embodiment of the present invention, specific processes performed by a server, a terminal, and a user will be described below.
[0821] System Overview
[0822] The system optimizes the screening process for new subscribers and simulates the effects and impact of improvements to screening standards and procedures. In particular, it uses past data to identify bottlenecks in the screening process and simulates and predicts the effects of new screening flows, resulting in a streamlined and efficient screening process.
[0823] Program processing
[0824] 1. Data Collection
[0825] The server connects to the database and collects the past five years of review data, including application documents, review results, review periods, and reasons for rejection.
[0826] The terminal provides a function to input information about the person who wants to join through a user interface. When a user inputs information about the person who wants to join (for example, Mr. Tanaka) into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time.
[0827] Example: Mr. Tanaka wishes to sign up as a new member and enters his name, address, and application documents into the terminal. This information is sent to the server and stored in the database.
[0828] 2. Data Analysis
[0829] The server analyzes the collected past review data, performs statistical analysis, and calculates the average and standard deviation of the review period, the rate of defects in each document, and the frequency of rejection reasons.
[0830] The server provides the functionality to identify and visualize bottlenecks in the review process through data analysis.
[0831] Example: The server performs an analysis and identifies that in past reviews, 10% of cases had incomplete documentation, which is the main cause of review delays.
[0832] 3. Improvement Simulation
[0833] The terminal provides an interface that allows users to set up new screening flows (for example, introducing pre-document checks).
[0834] The server performs a comparative simulation of the old and new review flows and evaluates their efficiency and effectiveness.
[0835] Example: A user configures the introduction of a pre-document check, and the server runs a simulation, showing that the new flow reduces the review period by 20%.
[0836] 4. Predictive model generation
[0837] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses a machine learning algorithm to predict the performance of the new review process one and two years from now.
[0838] Example: The server builds a predictive model that predicts that review efficiency will improve by 15% and customer satisfaction will increase by 10 points one year from now.
[0839] 5. Generate and review reports
[0840] The server generates a report based on the simulation and prediction results, formats it in a specific format, and sends it to the terminal.
[0841] The terminal displays the generated report to the user for the user to review.
[0842] Example: The server generates a PDF report and sends it to the terminal, where the user can review it. Based on the report, the user can decide to officially implement a new review flow.
[0843] In this way, the system of the present invention can effectively optimize the new customer screening process and predict future results, which can be expected to shorten screening times, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce operational costs.
[0844] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0845] Step 1:
[0846] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[0847] Step 2:
[0848] The user uses a terminal to enter information about the new subscriber (name, address, desired plan, attachment of required documents, etc.) into an online form. The terminal then transmits the entered information to the server in real time.
[0849] Step 3:
[0850] The server performs statistical analysis based on the past review data collected, calculating the average and standard deviation of review time, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects. Next, the analysis results are used to identify bottlenecks in the review process, and the visualized analysis results are sent to the terminal.
[0851] Step 4:
[0852] The user sets up a new screening process (for example, introducing a pre-document check process) using the terminal. The terminal sends the setting information to the server.
[0853] Step 5:
[0854] The server runs a simulation based on the new audit flow that has been set up. It compares the old audit flow with the new one and calculates the efficiency and effectiveness of each (for example, the rate of reduction in audit time and cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[0855] Step 6:
[0856] The server uses a machine learning algorithm to build a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses the built model to predict the performance (e.g., review efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[0857] Step 7:
[0858] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[0859] Step 8:
[0860] The user can view the generated report via the terminal, which includes the simulation results and the output of the predictive model, providing the user with information to make decisions about future improvements to the review process.
[0861] Step 9:
[0862] Users enter feedback, which is sent from their devices to a server that records it and uses it to improve future simulations and predictive models.

[0988] Step 6:
[0989] The server simulates the old and new review flows and evaluates their efficiency and effectiveness. Specifically, the server uses the collected data and new flow information to run machine learning algorithms such as RandomForestClassifier to simulate the new flow. The inputs to this step are past data and new flow information, and the output is performance evaluation data as the simulation results.
[0990] Step 7:
[0991] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data. For example, it uses a machine learning algorithm to predict how a new screening process will perform one and two years from now. The inputs to this process are the simulation results and past data, and the output is the results of the predictive model.
[0992] Step 8:
[0993] The server generates a report based on the prediction results and sends it to the terminal. The report is formatted in a specific format (e.g., PDF) and includes visualization data. The user can view the generated report through the terminal and evaluate the effectiveness. The input of this step is the results from the predictive model, and the output is the generated report.
[0994] The above steps realize a concrete system for optimizing the screening process for new subscribers.
[0995] 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.
[0996] As an embodiment of the present invention, specific processing by a server, a terminal, a user, and an emotion engine will be described below.
[0997] System Overview
[0998] The system optimizes the screening process for new subscribers and simulates the effects and impact of improvements to screening standards and procedures. In particular, it uses past data to identify bottlenecks in the screening process and simulates and predicts the effects of new screening flows. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes user emotions, the system can further improve the system based on emotion analysis of user feedback.
[0999] Program processing
[1000] 1. Data Collection
[1001] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[1002] The terminal provides a function to input information about the person who wants to join through a user interface. When a user inputs information about the person who wants to join (for example, Mr. Tanaka) into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time.
[1003] Example: Mr. Tanaka wishes to sign up as a new member and enters his name, address, and application documents into the terminal. This information is sent to the server and stored in the database.
[1004] 2. Data Analysis
[1005] The server performs statistical analysis based on the collected past review data, calculating the average and standard deviation of review times, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects.
[1006] The server identifies bottlenecks in the review process through data analysis and transmits them to the terminal in a visualized form.
[1007] Example: The server performs an analysis and identifies that in past reviews, 10% of cases had incomplete documentation, which is the main cause of review delays.
[1008] 3. Improvement Simulation
[1009] The terminal provides an interface that allows users to set up a new screening flow (for example, introducing a pre-document check process). When the user inputs new settings, the terminal sends the setting information to the server.
[1010] The server runs a simulation based on the new screening flow. It compares the old and new screening flows and evaluates their efficiency and effectiveness (reduced screening time, cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[1011] Example: A user configures the introduction of a pre-document check, and the server runs a simulation, showing that the new flow reduces the review period by 20%.
[1012] 4. Predictive model generation
[1013] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses a machine learning algorithm to predict the performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[1014] Example: The server builds a predictive model that predicts that review efficiency will improve by 15% and customer satisfaction will increase by 10 points one year from now.
[1015] 5. Generate and review reports
[1016] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[1017] The terminal displays the generated report to the user and provides an interface for the user to review the report and enter feedback.
[1018] Example: The server generates a PDF report and sends it to the terminal, where the user can review it. Based on the report, the user can decide to officially implement a new review flow.
[1019] 6. Emotion Recognition by Emotion Engine
[1020] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they review the report, and the results of the emotion recognition are sent to the server for analysis.
[1021] Example: While a user is viewing a report, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions (e.g., satisfaction, dissatisfaction, excitement, disappointment) via a webcam or microphone and transmits them to the server in real time.
[1022] 7. Emotional Data Analysis and Feedback
[1023] The server analyzes the emotional data from the emotion engine and suggests further improvements to the review process based on the user's emotional state. The server comprehensively evaluates the feedback entered by the user and the results of the emotional data analysis to help improve the process in the future.
[1024] Example: The server analyzes sentiment data and user feedback to identify, for example, which specific process steps are causing user frustration. Based on this, further flow improvements are suggested.
[1025] In this way, the system of the present invention not only effectively optimizes the new customer screening process, but also takes into account the user's emotional state to suggest further improvements, thereby further shortening the screening period, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing operational costs.
[1026] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1027] Step 1:
[1028] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[1029] Step 2:
[1030] The user uses a terminal to enter information about the new subscriber (name, address, desired plan, attachment of required documents, etc.) into an online form. The terminal then transmits the entered information to the server in real time.
[1031] Step 3:
[1032] Statistical analysis is performed based on past review data collected by the server, calculating the average and standard deviation of review time, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects.
[1033] Step 4:
[1034] The server uses the analysis results to identify bottlenecks in the review process and transmits the visualized analysis results to the terminal, using graphs and heat maps.
[1035] Step 5:
[1036] The user sets up a new screening process (for example, introducing a pre-document check process) using the terminal. The terminal sends the setting information to the server.
[1037] Step 6:
[1038] The server runs a simulation based on the new screening flow that has been set up. The old screening flow is compared with the new one, and the efficiency and effectiveness of each (review period reduction rate, cost reduction effect) are evaluated. The simulation results are visualized in graphs and tables and sent to the terminal.
[1039] Step 7:
[1040] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses machine learning algorithms (such as linear regression or random forest) to predict performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) one and two years into the future.
[1041] Step 8:
[1042] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[1043] Step 9:
[1044] The user checks the generated report through the terminal, evaluates the proposed improvements to the review process based on the report contents, and makes a final decision.
[1045] Step 10:
[1046] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they review the report, and the results of the emotion recognition are sent to the server for analysis.
[1047] Step 11:
[1048] The server analyzes the emotional data from the emotion engine and suggests further improvements to the review process based on the user's emotional state. The server comprehensively evaluates the feedback entered by the user and the results of the emotional data analysis to help improve the process in the future.

[1051] In the conventional review process, bottlenecks were identified by analyzing past data and the effectiveness of new flows was simulated, but there were limitations to improving the efficiency of the overall review process or customer satisfaction. Furthermore, it was not possible to reflect user sentiment in real time, and the quality of feedback was insufficient. As a result, the reduction of review time and operational costs was not fully achieved.
[1052] 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.

[1059] A means of reviewing the generated report;
[1060] A means for recognizing user emotions in real time and collecting the results;
[1061] A means to analyze the collected sentiment data and suggest further improvements to the review process; and
[1062] This will make the screening process more efficient, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce operational costs.

[1064] "Information of prospective subscribers" refers to all information provided by users who wish to sign up, such as the name, address, and application documents of users who wish to sign up.
[1065] A "bottleneck" refers to an item or step in the review process that tends to slow down processing and reduce efficiency.
[1066] "Review flow" refers to the order and method of each step and procedure in the review process.
[1067] "Simulation" refers to a computer-based analytical method used to virtually implement a new review process and predict its effects.

[1072] "Recommendations for improving the review process" refers to specific changes and improvements proposed to make the review process more efficient, based on analysis of emotional data and user feedback.
[1073] To implement this invention, a system is used that combines a terminal for collecting past screening data and inputting information on new applicants, a server for analyzing the data and setting up and simulating new screening flows, and an emotion engine that recognizes user emotions in real time.
[1074] System Configuration
[1075] This system consists of multiple pieces of hardware and software, as follows:
[1076] 1. Server: Performs large-volume data processing, analysis, and simulation.
[1077] 2. Client Device: Provides an interface for users to enter information about new subscribers and confirm the data.
[1078] 3. Emotion Recognition Engine: A module that analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to recognize emotions.
[1079] Hardware and Software
[1080] The servers are equipped with high-performance CPUs and GPUs, and feature a comprehensive database management system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL). Data analysis uses Python and related packages (e.g., pandas, numpy, scikit-learn).
[1081] The terminals used are PCs and tablets, which allow users to access the system through a web browser. Web applications are built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (e.g., React.js).
[1082] The emotion engine uses input devices such as cameras and microphones, as well as software (e.g., OpenCV, TensorFlow) that controls and analyzes them.
[1083] Program processing flow
[1084] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). This data is then converted into a format that can be used for analysis after missing values are imputed and data normalization is performed.
[1085] The terminal provides a function to input information of new subscribers through a user interface. When a user inputs information of a subscriber, the information is sent to the server in real time and stored in a database.
[1086] The server performs statistical analysis of the collected audit data to identify bottlenecks. The identified bottlenecks are visualized and sent to the terminal. The server then simulates the new audit flow and compares it with the conventional flow to evaluate its efficiency and effectiveness.
[1087] A predictive model is built based on the simulation results and past data, and performance one and two years after the new flow is implemented is predicted. Finally, a report is generated based on the simulation and prediction results and sent to the terminal in PDF format or other format.
[1088] While users are reviewing the report, the emotion engine recognizes their emotions in real time and sends the data to the server, which analyzes the emotion data and provides user feedback to suggest further improvements to the review process.
[1089] Specific examples
[1090] For example, when a user enters information about a prospective new member into a terminal (such as name, address, and application documents), this information is sent to the server and stored in a database. The server analyzes this data and, based on past screening data, identifies incomplete documents as a major bottleneck. The user sets up a new screening flow from the terminal (for example, introducing a pre-document check process), and the server simulates it, showing that the screening period can be reduced by 20%.
[1091] Example prompts from a generative AI model:
[1092] "Please enter the information of the person wishing to sign up. We will propose the optimal screening process based on the analysis of screening data from the past five years."
[1093] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1094] Step 1: Data collection
[1095] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). The collected data is then filled in with missing values, normalized, and converted into a format that can be used for analysis. Specifically, SQL queries are executed to extract data from the database and preprocessed using Python.
[1096] Input: Database connection information and SQL query
[1097] Output: Preprocessed audit dataset
[1098] Step 2: Enter information about new members
[1099] The terminal provides a function that allows users to input information about prospective subscribers through a user interface. When a user inputs information such as the prospective subscriber's name, address, and application documents into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time. The terminal is built using a web application (e.g., React.js), and the input information is sent to the server via an AJAX request.
[1100] Input: Subscriber information entered by the user into the terminal
[1101] Output: Subscriber information sent to the server
[1102] Step 3: Data analysis
[1103] Statistical analysis is performed based on past review data collected by the server. Specifically, data frames are manipulated using Python's pandas and numpy to calculate the average and standard deviation of review periods, the frequency of each reason for rejection, and the rate of incomplete application documents.
[1104] Input: Preprocessed audit dataset
[1105] Output: Calculated statistics (average review period, frequency of rejection reasons, etc.)
[1106] Step 4: Identify bottlenecks
[1107] The server analyzes the data to identify bottlenecks in the review process. Based on this statistical data, the server identifies specific items (e.g., incomplete documents) or specific process steps (e.g., review delays). The results are visualized in graphs and charts and sent to the terminal.
[1108] Input: Calculated statistic value
[1109] Output: Visualized data of bottleneck identification results
[1110] Step 5: Setting up and simulating a new review flow
[1111] The terminal provides the user with an interface that allows them to set up a new screening flow. The user sets up a new flow (for example, the introduction of a pre-document check process), and the information is sent to the server. Based on this information, the server simulates the old and new screening flows and evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of each flow (reduction in screening time, cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[1112] Input: Information about the new screening flow configured by the user
[1113] Output: Visualized data of the simulation results of the old and new screening flows
[1114] Step 6: Generate a predictive model
[1115] The server generates a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data. Specifically, it uses a Python machine learning package (e.g., scikit-learn) to build a model that predicts the performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[1116] Input: Simulation results and past audit data
[1117] Output: Prediction model and results (prediction performance after 1 year and 2 years)
[1118] Step 7: Generate and review the report
[1119] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results. The report is formatted in PDF format or similar and sent to the terminal. The terminal displays the generated report to the user and provides an interface where the user can review the report and enter feedback.
[1120] Input: Prediction model and its results
[1121] Output: Report in PDF format
[1122] Step 8: Emotion Recognition with the Emotion Engine
[1123] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they check the report. Specifically, it analyzes data collected through the camera and microphone using OpenCV and TensorFlow to generate emotion data, which is then sent to the server.
[1124] Input: Real-time data collected from cameras and microphones
[1125] Output: Emotion data
[1126] Step 9: Emotional Data Analysis and Feedback
[1127] The server analyzes the emotion data sent from the emotion engine, evaluates it comprehensively with user feedback, and proposes further improvements to the review process. For analysis, Python analysis libraries (e.g., pandas, numpy) are used.
[1128] Input: Emotion data and user feedback
[1129] Output: Improvement proposal data and feedback report
[1130] Through the above processing steps, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the new subscriber screening process and customer satisfaction.

[1133] In the conventional new subscriber screening process, collecting and analyzing application data and improving the screening flow took time, resulting in problems that reduced user satisfaction. Furthermore, bottlenecks in the screening process were often not clearly identified, preventing effective improvements. Furthermore, the screening process proceeded without taking into consideration the user's feelings, potentially increasing user dissatisfaction and stress. A system that solves these problems and realizes an efficient screening process with high user satisfaction is needed.
[1134] The identification processing by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting past screening data, means for inputting information on new applicants and collecting the data, means for analyzing the collected data and identifying bottlenecks in the screening process, means for setting a new screening flow and simulating it, means for predicting performance one year and two years from now using the set screening flow, means for generating a report based on the simulation and prediction results, means for checking the generated report, means for recognizing user emotions in real time using an emotion recognition engine, and means for providing feedback based on the recognized emotion data. This enables an efficient and accurate screening process for new applicants and the provision of feedback that takes user emotions into consideration.
[1135] "Past screening data" refers to historical information such as information on the screening process for past new applicants, application documents, screening results, screening period, and reasons for rejection.
[1136] "Information on new subscribers" refers to personal information such as the name, address, and application documents of users who wish to sign up for a new membership, as well as the contents of that application.
[1137] A "bottleneck" refers to a major obstacle or problem that causes delays or inefficiencies in the new member screening process.
[1138] "New review flow" refers to the newly established review procedures and processes to improve, streamline and optimize the existing review flow.
[1139] "Simulation" refers to a method for virtually simulating a new review flow and evaluating its effectiveness and efficiency.
[1140] "Performance" refers to the efficiency resulting from the operation of the established review flow, the rate at which the review period is shortened, the cost reduction effect, and customer satisfaction, etc.
[1141] "Report" refers to a detailed report prepared based on the simulation and prediction results.
[1142] An "emotion recognition engine" refers to a software module that identifies and analyzes emotions from a user's facial expressions and voice in real time.
[1143] "Feedback" refers to information and advice to suggest further improvements and modifications based on user sentiment and reactions to the actual review process.
[1144] "Data analysis" refers to a method of statistically analyzing collected past screening data and information on new applicants to identify problems in the screening process.
[1145] "Visualization" refers to a method of representing analysis and simulation results in a visual format such as a graph or chart.
[1146] "Format" refers to the rules and style for organizing and formatting reports and data according to a particular format or standard.
[1147] As an embodiment of the present invention, specific processing by a server, a terminal, a user, and an emotion engine will be described below.
[1148] The system configuration is as follows:
[1149] 1. Server: This is the central component for data collection, analysis, simulation, prediction, report generation, and sentiment data analysis.
[1150] 2. Terminal: Provides an interface for new subscribers to enter information, check reports, and enter feedback.
[1151] 3. User: A person who wishes to join or an operator in charge of improving the screening process.
[1152] 4. Emotion engine: A software module for recognizing the user's emotions in real time and transmitting them to the server.

[1155] The server connects to a database to collect past review data. Specifically, it collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis. The server then analyzes the collected data and identifies bottlenecks in the review process. Furthermore, the server simulates a new review flow and predicts performance one and two years from now based on the results. A report is generated based on the prediction and simulation results. Emotion data sent from the emotion engine is also analyzed and reflected as feedback.
[1156] Terminal
[1157] The terminal provides an interface where users can input information about prospective subscribers, which is then transmitted to the server in real time. The terminal also provides generated reports to the users and provides an interface for inputting feedback.
[1158] User
[1159] The user inputs the information of the new subscriber through the terminal, checks the generated report, and also inputs feedback, which is sent to the server.

[1164] software:
[1165] Google Cloud Natural Language API or Microsoft Azure Text Analytics: Emotion Recognition Engine
[1166] PostgreSQL or MySQL: Database Management Systems
[1167] Specific examples
[1168] For example, when a prospective new member enters their information using a smartphone, that information is saved in real time on a server. The server then conducts a review based on that information and past data, simulating a new review flow. The results show that adopting a specific flow can shorten the review period. Furthermore, as the user reviews the report, an emotion engine recognizes emotions in real time, and emotions such as dissatisfaction or satisfaction are sent to the server. Based on this, further improvements to the flow are proposed.
[1169] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1170] "Simulate new review flows and evaluate their effectiveness. Identify areas for improvement based on past review data and use simulation results to generate predictive models. Also, recognize user sentiment data in real time and use it to suggest further improvements."
[1171] In this way, the present invention effectively optimizes the screening process for new subscribers and provides feedback that takes into account the user's emotional state, thereby shortening the screening period, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing operating costs.

[1181] Step 5:
[1182] The terminal provides an interface that allows the user to set up a new screening flow (for example, the introduction of a pre-document check process). When the user inputs the new settings, the terminal sends the setting information to the server. The input is the information of the new screening flow set by the user, and the output is the information of the new screening flow sent to the server.
[1183] Step 6:
[1184] The server runs a simulation based on the new review flow. It compares it with the conventional review flow and evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of each (review period reduction rate, cost reduction effect). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal. The input is information about the new review flow, and the output is the simulation results.
[1185] Step 7:
[1186] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data. It uses a machine learning algorithm to predict the performance of the new screening process one and two years from now. The inputs are the simulation results and past data, and the output is the results of the predictive model.
[1187] Step 8:
[1188] The server automatically generates detailed reports based on the simulation and prediction results. The reports are formatted in a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal. The input is the result of the prediction model, and the output is the generated report.
[1189] Step 9:
[1190] The terminal displays the generated report to the user and provides an interface for inputting feedback, where the input is the generated report and the output is the user's feedback information.
[1191] Step 10:
[1192] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they check the report. The recognition results are sent to the server for analysis. The input is the user's voice and facial expression data, and the output is the emotion recognition results.
[1193] Step 11:
[1194] The server analyzes the emotion data and proposes further improvements to the review process based on the user's emotional state. The inputs are emotion recognition results and user feedback information, and the output is improvement suggestions.
[1195] 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.
[1196] 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.

[1212] As an embodiment of the present invention, specific processes performed by a server, a terminal, and a user will be described below.
[1213] System Overview
[1214] The system optimizes the screening process for new subscribers and simulates the effects and impact of improvements to screening standards and procedures. In particular, it uses past data to identify bottlenecks in the screening process and simulates and predicts the effects of new screening flows, resulting in a streamlined and efficient screening process.
[1215] Program processing
[1216] 1. Data Collection
[1217] The server connects to the database and collects the past five years of review data, including application documents, review results, review periods, and reasons for rejection.
[1218] The terminal provides a function to input information about the person who wants to join through a user interface. When a user inputs information about the person who wants to join (for example, Mr. Tanaka) into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time.
[1219] Example: Mr. Tanaka wishes to sign up as a new member and enters his name, address, and application documents into the terminal. This information is sent to the server and stored in the database.
[1220] 2. Data Analysis
[1221] The server analyzes the collected past review data, performs statistical analysis, and calculates the average and standard deviation of the review period, the rate of defects in each document, and the frequency of rejection reasons.
[1222] The server provides the functionality to identify and visualize bottlenecks in the review process through data analysis.
[1223] Example: The server performs an analysis and identifies that in past reviews, 10% of cases had incomplete documentation, which is the main cause of review delays.
[1224] 3. Improvement Simulation
[1225] The terminal provides an interface that allows users to set up new screening flows (for example, introducing pre-document checks).
[1226] The server performs a comparative simulation of the old and new review flows and evaluates their efficiency and effectiveness.
[1227] Example: A user configures the introduction of a pre-document check, and the server runs a simulation, showing that the new flow reduces the review period by 20%.
[1228] 4. Predictive model generation
[1229] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses a machine learning algorithm to predict the performance of the new review process one and two years from now.
[1230] Example: The server builds a predictive model that predicts that review efficiency will improve by 15% and customer satisfaction will increase by 10 points one year from now.
[1231] 5. Generate and review reports
[1232] The server generates a report based on the simulation and prediction results, formats it in a specific format, and sends it to the terminal.
[1233] The terminal displays the generated report to the user for the user to review.
[1234] Example: The server generates a PDF report and sends it to the terminal, where the user can review it. Based on the report, the user can decide to officially implement a new review flow.
[1235] In this way, the system of the present invention can effectively optimize the new customer screening process and predict future results, which can be expected to shorten screening times, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce operational costs.
[1236] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1237] Step 1:
[1238] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[1239] Step 2:
[1240] The user uses a terminal to enter information about the new subscriber (name, address, desired plan, attachment of required documents, etc.) into an online form. The terminal then transmits the entered information to the server in real time.
[1241] Step 3:
[1242] The server performs statistical analysis based on the past review data collected, calculating the average and standard deviation of review time, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects. Next, the analysis results are used to identify bottlenecks in the review process, and the visualized analysis results are sent to the terminal.
[1243] Step 4:
[1244] The user sets up a new screening process (for example, introducing a pre-document check process) using the terminal. The terminal sends the setting information to the server.
[1245] Step 5:
[1246] The server runs a simulation based on the new audit flow that has been set up. It compares the old audit flow with the new one and calculates the efficiency and effectiveness of each (for example, the rate of reduction in audit time and cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[1247] Step 6:
[1248] The server uses a machine learning algorithm to build a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses the built model to predict the performance (e.g., review efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[1249] Step 7:
[1250] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[1251] Step 8:
[1252] The user can view the generated report via the terminal, which includes the simulation results and the output of the predictive model, providing the user with information to make decisions about future improvements to the review process.
[1253] Step 9:
[1254] Users enter feedback, which is sent from their devices to a server that records it and uses it to improve future simulations and predictive models.

[1368] In this way, the system of the present invention effectively optimizes the screening process for new subscribers, shortening the screening period and improving customer satisfaction.
[1369] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1370] Step 1:
[1371] The server collects past review data from the database. Specifically, it connects to the review database and extracts information such as application documents, review results, review periods, and rejection reasons over the past five years. The input to this data collection process is the database connection information, and the output is the collected data in a data frame format.

The input of this step is the collected past review data, and the output is a report containing the analysis results.
[1376] Step 4:
[1377] Based on the results of the data analysis, the server identifies bottlenecks in the review process and visualizes them. For example, the server may identify that incomplete documents are the main cause of review delays and generate the results in a visualized format such as a graph. The input to this process is the analysis results, and the output is visualized data on the bottlenecks.
[1378] Step 5:
[1379] The terminal provides an interface for setting up a new screening flow. The user sets up a new flow, such as introducing a pre-document check, through this interface. The set information is sent to the server. The input of this step is the information for the new screening flow set up by the user, and the output is the data for the new flow setting sent to the server.
[1380] Step 6:
[1381] The server simulates the old and new review flows and evaluates their efficiency and effectiveness. Specifically, the server uses the collected data and new flow information to run machine learning algorithms such as RandomForestClassifier to simulate the new flow. The inputs to this step are past data and new flow information, and the output is performance evaluation data as the simulation results.
[1382] Step 7:
[1383] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data. For example, it uses a machine learning algorithm to predict how a new screening process will perform one and two years from now. The inputs to this process are the simulation results and past data, and the output is the results of the predictive model.
[1384] Step 8:
[1385] The server generates a report based on the prediction results and sends it to the terminal. The report is formatted in a specific format (e.g., PDF) and includes visualization data. The user can view the generated report through the terminal and evaluate the effectiveness. The input of this step is the results from the predictive model, and the output is the generated report.
[1386] The above steps realize a concrete system for optimizing the screening process for new subscribers.
[1387] 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.

[1389] System Overview
[1390] The system optimizes the screening process for new subscribers and simulates the effects and impact of improvements to screening standards and procedures. In particular, it uses past data to identify bottlenecks in the screening process and simulates and predicts the effects of new screening flows. Furthermore, by combining it with an emotion engine that recognizes user emotions, the system can further improve the system based on emotion analysis of user feedback.

[1397] The server performs statistical analysis based on the collected past review data, calculating the average and standard deviation of review times, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects.
[1398] The server identifies bottlenecks in the review process through data analysis and transmits them to the terminal in a visualized form.
[1399] Example: The server performs an analysis and identifies that in past reviews, 10% of cases had incomplete documentation, which is the main cause of review delays.
[1400] 3. Improvement Simulation
[1401] The terminal provides an interface that allows users to set up a new screening flow (for example, introducing a pre-document check process). When the user inputs new settings, the terminal sends the setting information to the server.
[1402] The server runs a simulation based on the new screening flow. It compares the old and new screening flows and evaluates their efficiency and effectiveness (reduced screening time, cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[1403] Example: A user configures the introduction of a pre-document check, and the server runs a simulation, showing that the new flow reduces the review period by 20%.
[1404] 4. Predictive model generation
[1405] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses a machine learning algorithm to predict the performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[1406] Example: The server builds a predictive model that predicts that review efficiency will improve by 15% and customer satisfaction will increase by 10 points one year from now.
[1407] 5. Generate and review reports
[1408] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[1409] The terminal displays the generated report to the user and provides an interface for the user to review the report and enter feedback.
[1410] Example: The server generates a PDF report and sends it to the terminal, where the user can review it. Based on the report, the user can decide to officially implement a new review flow.
[1411] 6. Emotion Recognition by Emotion Engine
[1412] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they review the report, and the results of the emotion recognition are sent to the server for analysis.
[1413] Example: While a user is viewing a report, the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions (e.g., satisfaction, dissatisfaction, excitement, disappointment) via a webcam or microphone and transmits them to the server in real time.
[1414] 7. Emotional Data Analysis and Feedback
[1415] The server analyzes the emotional data from the emotion engine and suggests further improvements to the review process based on the user's emotional state. The server comprehensively evaluates the feedback entered by the user and the results of the emotional data analysis to help improve the process in the future.
[1416] Example: The server analyzes sentiment data and user feedback to identify, for example, which specific process steps are causing user frustration. Based on this, further flow improvements are suggested.
[1417] In this way, the system of the present invention not only effectively optimizes the new customer screening process, but also takes into account the user's emotional state to suggest further improvements, thereby further shortening the screening period, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing operational costs.
[1418] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1419] Step 1:
[1420] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[1421] Step 2:
[1422] The user uses a terminal to enter information about the new subscriber (name, address, desired plan, attachment of required documents, etc.) into an online form. The terminal then transmits the entered information to the server in real time.
[1423] Step 3:
[1424] Statistical analysis is performed based on past review data collected by the server, calculating the average and standard deviation of review time, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects.
[1425] Step 4:
[1426] The server uses the analysis results to identify bottlenecks in the review process and transmits the visualized analysis results to the terminal, using graphs and heat maps.
[1427] Step 5:
[1428] The user sets up a new screening process (for example, introducing a pre-document check process) using the terminal. The terminal sends the setting information to the server.
[1429] Step 6:
[1430] The server runs a simulation based on the new screening flow that has been set up. The old screening flow is compared with the new one, and the efficiency and effectiveness of each (review period reduction rate, cost reduction effect) are evaluated. The simulation results are visualized in graphs and tables and sent to the terminal.
[1431] Step 7:
[1432] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data, and uses machine learning algorithms (such as linear regression or random forest) to predict performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) one and two years into the future.
[1433] Step 8:
[1434] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results, which is then formatted into a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal.
[1435] Step 9:
[1436] The user checks the generated report through the terminal, evaluates the proposed improvements to the review process based on the report contents, and makes a final decision.
[1437] Step 10:
[1438] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they review the report, and the results of the emotion recognition are sent to the server for analysis.
[1439] Step 11:
[1440] The server analyzes the emotional data from the emotion engine and suggests further improvements to the review process based on the user's emotional state. The server comprehensively evaluates the feedback entered by the user and the results of the emotional data analysis to help improve the process in the future.

[1442] 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."
[1443] In the conventional review process, bottlenecks were identified by analyzing past data and the effectiveness of new flows was simulated, but there were limitations to improving the efficiency of the overall review process or customer satisfaction. Furthermore, it was not possible to reflect user sentiment in real time, and the quality of feedback was insufficient. As a result, the reduction of review time and operational costs was not fully achieved.
[1444] 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.

[1451] A means of reviewing the generated report;
[1452] A means for recognizing user emotions in real time and collecting the results;
[1453] A means to analyze the collected sentiment data and suggest further improvements to the review process; and
[1454] This will make the screening process more efficient, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce operational costs.

[1456] "Information of prospective subscribers" refers to all information provided by users who wish to sign up, such as the name, address, and application documents of users who wish to sign up.
[1457] A "bottleneck" refers to an item or step in the review process that tends to slow down processing and reduce efficiency.
[1458] "Review flow" refers to the order and method of each step and procedure in the review process.
[1459] "Simulation" refers to a computer-based analytical method used to virtually implement a new review process and predict its effects.

[1464] "Recommendations for improving the review process" refers to specific changes and improvements proposed to make the review process more efficient, based on analysis of emotional data and user feedback.
[1465] To implement this invention, a system is used that combines a terminal for collecting past screening data and inputting information on new applicants, a server for analyzing the data and setting up and simulating new screening flows, and an emotion engine that recognizes user emotions in real time.
[1466] System Configuration
[1467] This system consists of multiple pieces of hardware and software, as follows:
[1468] 1. Server: Performs large-volume data processing, analysis, and simulation.
[1469] 2. Client Device: Provides an interface for users to enter information about new subscribers and confirm the data.
[1470] 3. Emotion Recognition Engine: A module that analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to recognize emotions.
[1471] Hardware and Software
[1472] The servers are equipped with high-performance CPUs and GPUs, and feature a comprehensive database management system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL). Data analysis uses Python and related packages (e.g., pandas, numpy, scikit-learn).
[1473] The terminals used are PCs and tablets, which allow users to access the system through a web browser. Web applications are built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (e.g., React.js).
[1474] The emotion engine uses input devices such as cameras and microphones, as well as software (e.g., OpenCV, TensorFlow) that controls and analyzes them.
[1475] Program processing flow
[1476] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). This data is then converted into a format that can be used for analysis after missing values are imputed and data normalization is performed.
[1477] The terminal provides a function to input information of new subscribers through a user interface. When a user inputs information of a subscriber, the information is sent to the server in real time and stored in a database.
[1478] The server performs statistical analysis of the collected audit data to identify bottlenecks. The identified bottlenecks are visualized and sent to the terminal. The server then simulates the new audit flow and compares it with the conventional flow to evaluate its efficiency and effectiveness.
[1479] A predictive model is built based on the simulation results and past data, and performance one and two years after the new flow is implemented is predicted. Finally, a report is generated based on the simulation and prediction results and sent to the terminal in PDF format or other format.
[1480] While users are reviewing the report, the emotion engine recognizes their emotions in real time and sends the data to the server, which analyzes the emotion data and provides user feedback to suggest further improvements to the review process.
[1481] Specific examples
[1482] For example, when a user enters information about a prospective new member into a terminal (such as name, address, and application documents), this information is sent to the server and stored in a database. The server analyzes this data and, based on past screening data, identifies incomplete documents as a major bottleneck. The user sets up a new screening flow from the terminal (for example, introducing a pre-document check process), and the server simulates it, showing that the screening period can be reduced by 20%.
[1483] Example prompts from a generative AI model:
[1484] "Please enter the information of the person wishing to sign up. We will propose the optimal screening process based on the analysis of screening data from the past five years."
[1485] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1486] Step 1: Data collection
[1487] The server connects to the database and collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). The collected data is then filled in with missing values, normalized, and converted into a format that can be used for analysis. Specifically, SQL queries are executed to extract data from the database and preprocessed using Python.
[1488] Input: Database connection information and SQL query
[1489] Output: Preprocessed audit dataset
[1490] Step 2: Enter information about new members
[1491] The terminal provides a function that allows users to input information about prospective subscribers through a user interface. When a user inputs information such as the prospective subscriber's name, address, and application documents into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time. The terminal is built using a web application (e.g., React.js), and the input information is sent to the server via an AJAX request.
[1492] Input: Subscriber information entered by the user into the terminal
[1493] Output: Subscriber information sent to the server
[1494] Step 3: Data analysis
[1495] Statistical analysis is performed based on past review data collected by the server. Specifically, data frames are manipulated using Python's pandas and numpy to calculate the average and standard deviation of review periods, the frequency of each reason for rejection, and the rate of incomplete application documents.
[1496] Input: Preprocessed audit dataset
[1497] Output: Calculated statistics (average review period, frequency of rejection reasons, etc.)
[1498] Step 4: Identify bottlenecks
[1499] The server analyzes the data to identify bottlenecks in the review process. Based on this statistical data, the server identifies specific items (e.g., incomplete documents) or specific process steps (e.g., review delays). The results are visualized in graphs and charts and sent to the terminal.
[1500] Input: Calculated statistic value
[1501] Output: Visualized data of bottleneck identification results
[1502] Step 5: Setting up and simulating a new review flow
[1503] The terminal provides the user with an interface that allows them to set up a new screening flow. The user sets up a new flow (for example, the introduction of a pre-document check process), and the information is sent to the server. Based on this information, the server simulates the old and new screening flows and evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of each flow (reduction in screening time, cost reduction). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal.
[1504] Input: Information about the new screening flow configured by the user
[1505] Output: Visualized data of the simulation results of the old and new screening flows
[1506] Step 6: Generate a predictive model
[1507] The server generates a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data. Specifically, it uses a Python machine learning package (e.g., scikit-learn) to build a model that predicts the performance (screening efficiency, customer satisfaction) of the new screening process one and two years from now.
[1508] Input: Simulation results and past audit data
[1509] Output: Prediction model and results (prediction performance after 1 year and 2 years)
[1510] Step 7: Generate and review the report
[1511] The server automatically generates a detailed report based on the simulation and prediction results. The report is formatted in PDF format or similar and sent to the terminal. The terminal displays the generated report to the user and provides an interface where the user can review the report and enter feedback.
[1512] Input: Prediction model and its results
[1513] Output: Report in PDF format
[1514] Step 8: Emotion Recognition with the Emotion Engine
[1515] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they check the report. Specifically, it analyzes data collected through the camera and microphone using OpenCV and TensorFlow to generate emotion data, which is then sent to the server.
[1516] Input: Real-time data collected from cameras and microphones
[1517] Output: Emotion data
[1518] Step 9: Emotional Data Analysis and Feedback
[1519] The server analyzes the emotion data sent from the emotion engine, evaluates it comprehensively with user feedback, and proposes further improvements to the review process. For analysis, Python analysis libraries (e.g., pandas, numpy) are used.
[1520] Input: Emotion data and user feedback
[1521] Output: Improvement proposal data and feedback report
[1522] Through the above processing steps, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the new subscriber screening process and customer satisfaction.
[1523] (Application example 2)
[1524] 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."
[1525] In the conventional new subscriber screening process, collecting and analyzing application data and improving the screening flow took time, resulting in problems that reduced user satisfaction. Furthermore, bottlenecks in the screening process were often not clearly identified, preventing effective improvements. Furthermore, the screening process proceeded without taking into consideration the user's feelings, potentially increasing user dissatisfaction and stress. A system that solves these problems and realizes an efficient screening process with high user satisfaction is needed.
[1526] The identification processing by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting past screening data, means for inputting information on new applicants and collecting the data, means for analyzing the collected data and identifying bottlenecks in the screening process, means for setting a new screening flow and simulating it, means for predicting performance one year and two years from now using the set screening flow, means for generating a report based on the simulation and prediction results, means for checking the generated report, means for recognizing user emotions in real time using an emotion recognition engine, and means for providing feedback based on the recognized emotion data. This enables an efficient and accurate screening process for new applicants and the provision of feedback that takes user emotions into consideration.
[1527] "Past screening data" refers to historical information such as information on the screening process for past new applicants, application documents, screening results, screening period, and reasons for rejection.
[1528] "Information on new subscribers" refers to personal information such as the name, address, and application documents of users who wish to sign up for a new membership, as well as the contents of that application.
[1529] A "bottleneck" refers to a major obstacle or problem that causes delays or inefficiencies in the new member screening process.
[1530] "New review flow" refers to the newly established review procedures and processes to improve, streamline and optimize the existing review flow.
[1531] "Simulation" refers to a method for virtually simulating a new review flow and evaluating its effectiveness and efficiency.
[1532] "Performance" refers to the efficiency resulting from the operation of the established review flow, the rate at which the review period is shortened, the cost reduction effect, and customer satisfaction, etc.
[1533] "Report" refers to a detailed report prepared based on the simulation and prediction results.
[1534] An "emotion recognition engine" refers to a software module that identifies and analyzes emotions from a user's facial expressions and voice in real time.
[1535] "Feedback" refers to information and advice to suggest further improvements and modifications based on user sentiment and reactions to the actual review process.
[1536] "Data analysis" refers to a method of statistically analyzing collected past screening data and information on new applicants to identify problems in the screening process.
[1537] "Visualization" refers to a method of representing analysis and simulation results in a visual format such as a graph or chart.
[1538] "Format" refers to the rules and style for organizing and formatting reports and data according to a particular format or standard.
[1539] As an embodiment of the present invention, specific processing by a server, a terminal, a user, and an emotion engine will be described below.
[1540] The system configuration is as follows:
[1541] 1. Server: This is the central component for data collection, analysis, simulation, prediction, report generation, and sentiment data analysis.
[1542] 2. Terminal: Provides an interface for new subscribers to enter information, check reports, and enter feedback.
[1543] 3. User: A person who wishes to join or an operator in charge of improving the screening process.
[1544] 4. Emotion engine: A software module for recognizing the user's emotions in real time and transmitting them to the server.
[1545] Program processing overview
[1546] server
[1547] The server connects to a database to collect past review data. Specifically, it collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.). The collected data is preprocessed (missing value completion, data normalization, etc.) and converted into a format that can be used for analysis. The server then analyzes the collected data and identifies bottlenecks in the review process. Furthermore, the server simulates a new review flow and predicts performance one and two years from now based on the results. A report is generated based on the prediction and simulation results. Emotion data sent from the emotion engine is also analyzed and reflected as feedback.
[1548] Terminal
[1549] The terminal provides an interface where users can input information about prospective subscribers, which is then transmitted to the server in real time. The terminal also provides generated reports to the users and provides an interface for inputting feedback.
[1550] User
[1551] The user inputs the information of the new subscriber through the terminal, checks the generated report, and also inputs feedback, which is sent to the server.
[1552] Emotion Engine
[1553] The emotion engine recognizes emotions in real time while the user is reviewing the report and sends the results to a server, such as Google Cloud Natural Language API or Microsoft Azure Text Analytics.
[1554] Hardware and software used
[1555] Hardware: Smartphones (iOS / Android), servers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
[1556] software:
[1557] Google Cloud Natural Language API or Microsoft Azure Text Analytics: Emotion Recognition Engine
[1558] PostgreSQL or MySQL: Database Management Systems
[1559] Specific examples
[1560] For example, when a prospective new member enters their information using a smartphone, that information is saved in real time on a server. The server then conducts a review based on that information and past data, simulating a new review flow. The results show that adopting a specific flow can shorten the review period. Furthermore, as the user reviews the report, an emotion engine recognizes emotions in real time, and emotions such as dissatisfaction or satisfaction are sent to the server. Based on this, further improvements to the flow are proposed.
[1561] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1562] "Simulate new review flows and evaluate their effectiveness. Identify areas for improvement based on past review data and use simulation results to generate predictive models. Also, recognize user sentiment data in real time and use it to suggest further improvements."
[1563] In this way, the present invention effectively optimizes the screening process for new subscribers and provides feedback that takes into account the user's emotional state, thereby shortening the screening period, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing operating costs.
[1564] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1565] Step 1:
[1566] The server collects past review data from a database. It collects all review data from the past five years (application documents, review results, review period, reasons for rejection, etc.) and performs preprocessing, including missing value imputation and data normalization. The input is the past review data in the database, and the output is data converted into a format that can be used for analysis.
[1567] Step 2:
[1568] The terminal provides a function for inputting information about new members through a user interface. When a user inputs information such as name, address, and application documents into the terminal, this information is sent to the server in real time. The input is the information about new members entered by the user, and the output is the information about new members sent to the server.
[1569] Step 3:
[1570] The server performs statistical analysis based on the collected historical data and information on new applicants. The analysis involves calculating the average and standard deviation of the review period, the frequency of each rejection reason, and the rate of application document defects. The input is the preprocessed historical data and information on new applicants, and the output is the analysis results.
[1571] Step 4:
[1572] The server identifies bottlenecks in the review process through data analysis, visualizes them, and sends them to the terminal. For example, it identifies that incomplete documents are the main cause of review delays. The input is the data analysis results, and the output is visualized bottleneck information.
[1573] Step 5:
[1574] The terminal provides an interface that allows the user to set up a new screening flow (for example, the introduction of a pre-document check process). When the user inputs the new settings, the terminal sends the setting information to the server. The input is the information of the new screening flow set by the user, and the output is the information of the new screening flow sent to the server.
[1575] Step 6:
[1576] The server runs a simulation based on the new review flow. It compares it with the conventional review flow and evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of each (review period reduction rate, cost reduction effect). The simulation results are visualized and sent to the terminal. The input is information about the new review flow, and the output is the simulation results.
[1577] Step 7:
[1578] The server builds a predictive model based on the simulation results and past data. It uses a machine learning algorithm to predict the performance of the new screening process one and two years from now. The inputs are the simulation results and past data, and the output is the results of the predictive model.
[1579] Step 8:
[1580] The server automatically generates detailed reports based on the simulation and prediction results. The reports are formatted in a specific format (e.g., PDF) and sent to the terminal. The input is the result of the prediction model, and the output is the generated report.
[1581] Step 9:
[1582] The terminal displays the generated report to the user and provides an interface for inputting feedback, where the input is the generated report and the output is the user's feedback information.
[1583] Step 10:
[1584] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions in real time as they check the report. The recognition results are sent to the server for analysis. The input is the user's voice and facial expression data, and the output is the emotion recognition results.
[1585] Step 11:
[1586] The server analyzes the emotion data and proposes further improvements to the review process based on the user's emotional state. The inputs are emotion recognition results and user feedback information, and the output is improvement suggestions.
[1587] 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.
[1588] 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.
[1589] 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.
[1590] 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.
[1591] FIG. 9 illustrates 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 behaviors 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.
[1592] 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.
[1593] 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).
[1594] 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.
[1595] 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."
[1596] 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.
[1597] 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).
[1598] 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.
[1599] 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.
[1600] 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.
[1601] 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.
[1602] 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.
[1603] 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.
[1604] 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.
[1605] 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.
[1606] 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 configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
