[0034] Next, a description will be given of the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. 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."

[0035] ---

[0036] The present invention relates to an interactive system that collects user-entered information in a step-by-step manner, validates the information in real time, and provides feedback, minimizing the possibility of user input errors and ensuring accurate data entry.

[0037] First, the user launches a dedicated application on their device to begin registering their My Number. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, prompting the user to enter the necessary information step by step. The information entered at each step is accepted by the device and immediately sent to the server.

[0038] The server validates the input information it receives in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency, for example, whether information such as name and address is entered in the correct format, whether all required fields are filled in, etc. If invalid or incomplete information is found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[0039] The device receives error messages from the server and displays them in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message will be displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then use this feedback to make any necessary corrections. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent back to the server for revalidation. This process is repeated until all information has been entered correctly.

[0040] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user registers their My Number. The user launches an application and enters their "last name" and "first name." They enter "Yamada" for "last name" and "Taro" for "first name," and click "Next." This information is sent by the terminal to the server, which checks that the "last name" and "first name" fields are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers. If any errors are found, for example, if the "first name" contains numbers, the server sends an error message back to the terminal saying, "Please do not include numbers in your first name." The user corrects the input based on the error message and submits the information again.

[0041] This interactive system allows users to receive continuous feedback and ensure correct information is entered, reducing human error in the My Number and personal information registration process and achieving highly reliable data collection.

[0042] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0043] ---

[0044] Step 1:

[0045] The user launches a dedicated application on the device. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, and displays an initial screen that prompts the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[0046] Step 2:

[0047] The terminal displays a form on the screen for inputting "first name" and "last name." For example, it displays a message prompting the user to first input "last name," and provides an input field.

[0048] Step 3:

[0049] The user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" and clicks the "Next" button, thereby finalizing the input information.

[0050] Step 4:

[0051] The device temporarily stores the information entered and performs basic checks to ensure that the contents of the input fields are in the correct format, such as ensuring that the fields are not blank and that they contain the correct number of characters.

[0052] Step 5:

[0053] After the device passes the basic check, it sends the entered information to the server. For example, it sends the data "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" in JSON format to the server.

[0054] Step 6:

[0055] The server performs extensive validation of the name information it receives, specifically by programmatically checking that the "first name" and "last name" are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers.

[0056] Step 7:

[0057] The server generates the validation result and creates an error message if necessary. For example, if "First name" is blank, it generates the message "Please enter your first name."

[0058] Step 8:

[0059] The server returns the verification result and an error message to the terminal. For example, if the verification is successful, it sends a success message, otherwise it sends an error message.

[0060] Step 9:

[0061] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays an error message to the user, for example, "First name should not contain numbers."

[0062] Step 10:

[0063] The user corrects the input based on the error message and clicks the "Next" button again. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again.

[0064] Step 11:

[0065] The server will verify the information again to make sure everything is correct, and if so, will send a response back to the device saying it can continue.

[0066] Step 12:

[0067] The next step is for the device to display an address form, with fields for "city, state, town, or village," and "address."

[0068] Step 13:

[0069] The user enters an address and clicks the "Next" button. For example, the user enters "Tokyo", "Shinjuku-ku", and "Nishi-Shinjuku 2-chome".

[0070] Step 14:

[0071] The device temporarily stores the address information, performs basic formatting checks, and then sends the information to the server.

[0072] Step 15:

[0073] The server receives the address information and performs further validation, ensuring that the "state" is selected from a valid list and that the "city" and "street" are in the correct format.

[0074] Step 16:

[0075] The server generates the verification result and, if necessary, creates an error message and sends it to the terminal.

[0076] Step 17:

[0077] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays an error message to the user, who then makes corrections and sends the information back to the server.

[0078] Step 18:

[0079] If all information is verified as correct, the server generates a final confirmation message and stores the original information in a database.

[0080] Step 19:

[0081] The terminal will display "Registration complete" to the user and the process will end.

[0082] Example 1

[0083] 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."

[0084] In conventional data entry systems, when a user enters incorrect information, feedback on the error is often delayed. This often requires the user to repeat the input multiple times, making the input process cumbersome and time-consuming. Another issue is that verified information is not properly fed back, making it difficult for users to know which parts need to be corrected. Accuracy is particularly important when collecting important personal information, so a system that can collect information efficiently and accurately was needed.

[0085] 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.

[0086] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for gradually collecting the input information, means for transmitting the collected input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information in real time, means for providing the verification result to the user, and means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the provided verification result. This allows the information entered by the user to be immediately verified and feedback to be provided in real time, enabling the user to efficiently input accurate data.

[0087] A "user" is an entity that utilizes the system to input data and receive feedback.

[0088] "Input information" refers to data that a user inputs into the system, and may include name information and address information.

[0089] "Incremental collection means" is a system function that collects information entered by the user piecemeal as needed.

[0090] "Transmitting means" refers to the system's function for transferring information entered by the user to the server.

[0091] "Real-time validation means" refers to the ability of the server to instantly analyze input information received and check its accuracy and consistency.

[0092] The "means for providing the verification result to the user" is a system function in which the server sends the verification result to the terminal and displays it to the user.

[0093] "Means for prompting correction of input information" refers to a system function for assisting the user in re-entering accurate data.

[0094] The present invention relates to an interactive system that collects user-entered information in a step-by-step manner, validates the information in real time, and provides feedback, minimizing the possibility of user input errors and ensuring accurate data entry.

[0095] In this embodiment of the system, a user first launches a dedicated application on a terminal, such as a PC, tablet, or smartphone. This application is designed in an interactive wizard format, prompting the user to input the necessary information step by step. The information input at each step is accepted by the terminal and immediately sent to the server.

[0096] The server, which can be a cloud server or an on-premise server, validates the input information it receives in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency. For example, it checks whether information such as name and address is entered in the correct format and whether all required fields are filled in. If invalid information or deficiencies are found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[0097] The terminal receives the error message and displays it in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message is displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then use this feedback to make any necessary corrections. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent back to the server for revalidation. This process is repeated until all information has been entered correctly.

[0098] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user registers their My Number. The user launches an application and enters their "last name" and "first name." They enter "Yamada" for "last name" and "Taro" for "first name," and click "Next." This information is sent by the terminal to the server, which checks that the "last name" and "first name" fields are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers. If any errors are found, for example, if the "first name" contains numbers, the server sends an error message back to the terminal saying, "Please do not include numbers in your first name." The user corrects the input based on the error message and submits the information again.

[0099] This interactive system allows users to receive continuous feedback and ensure correct information is entered, reducing human error in the My Number and personal information registration process and achieving highly reliable data collection.

[0100] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is as follows:

[0101] "Write a scenario in the interactive My Number registration system where a user makes a specific format error in their first name (the first name contains a number) and then corrects it. First, the user starts the app, enters 'Yamada123' as their first name, and clicks Next. The server receives this input, generates an error message telling the user not to include numbers in their first name, and gives feedback to the user. Show the flow of the process where the user corrects their first name to 'Yamada' and submits the form again."

[0102] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0103] Step 1:

[0104] The user launches a dedicated application. The user selects and taps or clicks the dedicated application icon from the desktop or app menu on their PC, tablet, or smartphone. The application displays a login screen to the user, and the user enters their login information. The entered login information is sent from the device to the server. The server verifies the login information and, if correct, starts a session.

[0105] Step 2:

[0106] The user enters the input information step by step. The user follows the instructions on the application screen and enters personal information such as name, address, etc. After each field is entered, the device encrypts the information and sends it to the server.

[0107] Step 3:

[0108] The terminal sends the input information to the server. The terminal sends the information for each field entered by the user to the server in a specific format. The information sent includes the user's session ID and timestamp.

[0109] Step 4:

[0110] The server validates the incoming information in real time. The server checks the received data against a database to check for accuracy and consistency. For example, it verifies that the entered name complies with the field rules, or that the address exists. Regular expressions and database queries are used for validation.

[0111] Step 5:

[0112] The server generates the validation results. The server generates error and warning messages based on the validation results. These messages indicate the specific fields and problems that exist. The generated messages are saved together with the user's session information and sent to the terminal.

[0113] Step 6:

[0114] The server sends the feedback to the terminal. The server sends the feedback message generated in the previous step to the user's terminal. The message is encrypted and transmitted securely.

[0115] Step 7:

[0116] The terminal displays the feedback to the user. The terminal interprets the feedback message received from the server and displays it in a format that is easy for the user to understand. If there is an error message, it displays the error message near the relevant input field and prompts the user to correct it.

[0117] Step 8:

[0118] The user corrects the input. Based on the error message displayed, the user corrects the information in the relevant field. For example, they replace the incorrect information with the correct information. After correcting the information, the user taps or clicks the "Next" button again.

[0119] Step 9:

[0120] The device sends the information to the server again. Any information modified by the user is sent from the device to the server again. At this time, the resent information is also encrypted and transferred securely.

[0121] Step 10:

[0122] The server performs a re-verification. The server verifies the re-submitted data in real time, just as it did the first time. If the corrected information is accurate, it is ready to proceed to the next step.

[0123] Through these steps, the system allows users to receive continuous feedback to ensure they enter the correct information, streamlining the entry process and improving accuracy.

[0124] (Application example 1)

[0125] 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."

[0126] The present invention aims to solve the problem of secure and accurate information collection by providing a mechanism to prevent users from entering incorrect or incomplete information when registering important security information. In particular, the invention aims to minimize input errors by providing real-time feedback and sequential validation of information entered by users.

[0127] 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.

[0128] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for transmitting the input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information, means for providing the user with the verification result, and means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the verification result. This allows the appropriateness of security information and other important information to be verified sequentially when the user registers that information, enabling accurate information input.

[0129] A "user" is a person or entity that accesses and inputs information into the system.

[0130] "Input information" refers to the data and content provided by the user through the system.

[0131] "Means for receiving" refers to an interface or device for acquiring and processing input information from a user.

[0132] "Transmitting means" refers to a communication function or protocol for transmitting input information received from a user to a server or other device.

[0133] "Verification measures" refers to the processes or algorithms used to check whether input information is accurate, consistent, etc.

[0134] The "means for providing" refers to a method or device for notifying the user of the verification result as feedback.

[0135] "Means to encourage correction" refers to features or messages that guide users to correct incorrect information.

[0136] "Security Information" refers to sensitive data related to a user's personal security or authentication, such as passwords, identification numbers, etc.

[0137] "Sequential verification methods" refer to algorithms or systems that step by step check the information entered by the user and update the results each time.

[0138] "Feedback" refers to information or instructions provided to the user based on the verification results.

[0139] The present invention relates to a system that validates critical security information as it is entered by a user and provides real-time feedback to help ensure accurate information entry and minimize errors.

[0140] Specifically, we use the smartphone application "IdentitySafe." This application is implemented using Python, accepts information entered by the user, sends it to a server, and provides the user with the verification results in real time.

[0141] The server receives the information entered by the user and runs an algorithm to validate the accuracy of the information, including checking that the information is in the correct format and content. The library used is the Python requests library.

[0142] The terminal provides an interface for the user to input information and sends the input data to the server. The terminal displays the feedback received from the server in an easy-to-understand manner to the user, prompting them to make corrections as necessary. This allows the user to input accurate information while receiving successive feedback.

[0143] For example, a user might enter "password123!" in the "Password" field and then click the "Next" button. This information is immediately sent to the server, which verifies the password's security. As a result, the server might return feedback such as "Please add more special characters to your password," and the user can correct their input accordingly.

[0144] Example prompt sentence:

[0145] "Enter field name: Password"

[0146] "Please enter a password value: password123!"

[0147] In this way, the system validates the user's information input sequentially and provides feedback in real time, ensuring accurate information registration.

[0148] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0149] Step 1:

[0150] The user inputs the input information. The terminal accepts the information input by the user (for example, the field name "password" and its value "password123!"). This allows the input information to be acquired as internal data of the terminal.

[0151] Step 2:

[0152] The terminal sends the received input information to the server. Specifically, it converts the field name and its value into JSON format data and sends an HTTP request to the server. This request passes the input information to the server.

[0153] Step 3:

[0154] The server analyzes the input it receives and runs a validation algorithm (for example, the server checks the format and strength of the password). This process verifies the accuracy and consistency of the data.

[0155] Step 4:

[0156] The server generates a validation result and provides feedback based on the result, including specific instructions on what to do if the input needs to be corrected, such as "Please add more special characters to your password."

[0157] Step 5:

[0158] The server returns the generated feedback to the device as JSON-formatted data, which includes instructions for prompting the user to make corrections.

[0159] Step 6:

[0160] The device analyzes the received feedback and displays it in a way that is easy for the user to understand. Specifically, it displays a message on the screen saying, "Please add more special characters to your password." This helps the user understand what needs to be corrected.

[0161] Step 7:

[0162] The user corrects the information they entered based on the displayed feedback, re-enters the correct information into the input field, and proceeds. This process is repeated until all information is entered correctly.

[0163] 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.

[0164] ---

[0165] The present invention relates to a system that collects user input information step by step and verifies the information in real time. The present invention further provides a more effective and user-friendly interface by combining an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions.

[0166] First, the user launches a dedicated application on their device to begin registering their My Number. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, leading the user through a step-by-step process of entering the necessary information. As the user enters information, the device's camera and microphone are used to detect the user's facial expressions and voice, and an emotion engine is activated to analyze their emotions.

[0167] The terminal accepts input information, such as the user's name and address, and immediately sends it to the server. The server then validates the input information in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency. For example, it checks whether the name and address are entered in the correct format and whether all required fields are filled in. If invalid or incomplete information is found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[0168] The device receives error messages from the server and displays them in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message will be displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then make the necessary corrections based on this feedback. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again for revalidation.

[0169] Here, the role of the emotion engine, a distinctive feature of the present invention, becomes important. The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions in real time by capturing the user's facial expressions from a camera and the tone of their voice from a microphone. For example, if the user is irritated, the emotion engine will recognize this and provide feedback to the device, such as "repeat the explanation in a gentler tone." If the user is confused, the emotion engine will take appropriate measures, such as displaying additional help information.

[0170] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user is registering their My Number. While the user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro," the emotion engine monitors the user's facial expression. For example, if the user shows a confused expression, the emotion engine instructs the device to "display a message that provides detailed instructions on how to enter the information." In response to this instruction, the device displays a "Name entry guide" and provides further detailed explanations to the user.

[0171] In this way, a dialogue system that incorporates user emotions can simultaneously improve ease of use and the accuracy of information. By using an emotion engine, it is possible not only to prevent user input errors but also to improve the user experience.

[0172] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0173] ---

[0174] Step 1:

[0175] The user starts a dedicated application on the device. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, and displays an initial screen that prompts the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[0176] Step 2:

[0177] The device displays a form for the user to enter their first and last name, and begins capturing the user's facial expressions and voice in real time using the device's camera and microphone.

[0178] Step 3:

[0179] The user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" and clicks the "Next" button. This causes the entered information to be temporarily saved within the device.

[0180] Step 4:

[0181] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice and analyzes them in real time to generate emotional data about the user, such as detecting confused facial expressions and tone of voice.

[0182] Step 5:

[0183] The device sends the input information and emotion data to the server. The emotion data is sent together with the input name information.

[0184] Step 6:

[0185] The server performs extensive validation of the name information it receives, including checking that the first and last names are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers.

[0186] Step 7:

[0187] The server analyzes the emotional data and generates appropriate feedback based on the user's emotional state, for example, generating a gentle tone message if the user is annoyed.

[0188] Step 8:

[0189] The server returns a message to the terminal containing the verification result and appropriate feedback, such as an error message such as "Please make sure your first name does not contain numbers" and instructions in a user-friendly tone.

[0190] Step 9:

[0191] The device receives the response from the server and displays an error message and feedback to the user. For example, if a confused expression is detected, a "Name Input Guide" pop-up will be displayed.

[0192] Step 10:

[0193] The user corrects the input based on the error message and feedback provided and clicks the "Next" button again. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again.

[0194] Step 11:

[0195] The server will verify the information again to make sure everything is correct, and if so, will send a response back to the device saying it can continue.

[0196] Step 12:

[0197] The device will then display an address form for the next step, with fields for city, state, and street address. The camera and microphone will remain active.

[0198] Step 13:

[0199] The user enters an address and clicks the "Next" button. For example, they enter "Tokyo," "Shinjuku Ward," and "Nishi-Shinjuku 2-chome." Emotional data continues to be collected.

[0200] Step 14:

[0201] The device sends address information and current emotion data to the server.

[0202] Step 15:

[0203] The server performs detailed validation of the address information, for example, ensuring that the state is selected from a valid list and that the city and street address are in the correct format.

[0204] Step 16:

[0205] The server generates appropriate feedback based on the emotional data and sends it to the device along with the verification results.

[0206] Step 17:

[0207] The device receives the response from the server, displays an error message and feedback to the user, who then makes corrections and sends the information back to the server.

[0208] Step 18:

[0209] If all information is verified as correct, the server generates a final confirmation message and stores the original information in a database.

[0210] Step 19:

[0211] The terminal will display "Registration complete" to the user and the process will end.

[0212] Example 2

[0213] 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."

[0214] In conventional systems, it was difficult to verify and correct user input information in real time, leading to frequent user input errors and inaccurate information. Furthermore, when users became confused or frustrated, the system was unable to provide appropriate feedback, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0215] 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.

[0216] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input data from a user, means for transmitting the input data, means for verifying the transmitted input data, means for providing the user with the verification result, means for prompting the user to correct the input data based on the verification result, means for recognizing the user's emotion, and means for providing appropriate feedback based on the emotion, thereby making it possible to detect input errors made by the user in real time and provide appropriate feedback.

[0217] "User" refers to any individual or entity that utilizes this system and provides input data.

[0218] "Input data" refers to information provided by a user to the system, including, for example, personal information and address information.

[0219] "Server" refers to a device that accepts, transmits, and validates input data and provides feedback to the user.

[0220] "Emotion" refers to the psychological state of the user as recognized from facial expressions, tone of voice, etc.

[0221] "Feedback" refers to information provided by the system based on the user's input data, its validation results, or emotions.

[0222] "Means of acceptance" refers to the interface or function that the system uses to obtain input data from the user.

[0223] "Means for sending" refers to a function that allows the system to send input data acquired from the user to the server.

[0224] "Means of validation" refers to the ability of the server to check the accuracy and completeness of input data received.

[0225] "Means to provide" refers to the function by which the server communicates the verification results and feedback to the user.

[0226] "Means for prompting correction" refers to a function in which the server requests the user to correct the input data based on the validation results.

[0227] "Means of recognition" refers to the technology and functions that allow the system to sense the user's emotions using a camera or microphone.

[0228] "Means for providing appropriate feedback" refers to the system's ability to provide appropriate information to the user depending on the user's emotions and the status of the input data.

[0229] This invention relates to a system that collects and verifies input data from users in real time, recognizes their emotions, and provides appropriate feedback. The purpose of this system is to provide an interactive interface to improve the user experience.

[0230] First, the user launches a dedicated application on the device and begins the process of, for example, registering their My Number. The device is equipped with a built-in camera and microphone, which are used to capture the user's facial expressions and voice. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, allowing the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[0231] When a user enters information into required fields (e.g., name and address), the device sends the information to the server. The server validates the input data in real time, for example, ensuring that the name and address are entered in the correct format and that all required fields are filled in. If the data is incomplete, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the device.

[0232] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice tone in real time to recognize their emotions. For example, if the user is confused, the emotion engine will recognize this and issue instructions to the device, such as "display a guide that explains how to enter information in detail." This allows the user to receive specific error messages and instructions, allowing them to accurately correct their input data.

[0233] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user is registering their My Number. If the user shows a confused expression while entering "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro," the emotion engine will recognize this. The emotion engine will instruct the device to "display a message explaining in detail how to enter the information," and as a result, the message "Please enter the last name portion of the last name" will be displayed to the user. In this way, the user can enter accurate information.

[0234] Examples of prompts for generative AI models include:

[0235] "A user is entering their name into the My Number registration system. If they show a confused expression while entering their name, please have the emotion engine recognize this confusion and instruct the device to display a guide detailing how to enter their name. Please also provide specific examples of messages."

[0236] As described above, this system ensures the accuracy of user input data and improves the user experience. The feedback function using the emotion engine reduces the psychological burden on the user and enables smooth data entry.

[0237] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0238] Step 1:

[0239] The user starts the dedicated application on the device and begins registering their My Number. When the user presses the start button, the application launches and the initial screen is displayed. Input: User operation, Output: Application startup

[0240] Step 2:

[0241] The terminal displays an interactive wizard-style screen, prompting the user step-by-step for the necessary input data (e.g., name and address). The terminal waits for data to be entered in each field. Input: Information entered by the user, Output: Wizard-style screen

[0242] Step 3:

[0243] The device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and sends them to the emotion engine. Input: Data from the camera and microphone, Output: Data sent to the emotion engine

[0244] Step 4:

[0245] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions in real time based on the input facial and voice data. Input: Data from the camera and microphone, Output: User's emotional state

[0246] Step 5:

[0247] Once the user has entered all the required information, the terminal sends the input data to the server. Input: User input data, Output: Data transmission to the server

[0248] Step 6:

[0249] The server validates the received input data in real time, checking for format conformance and required fields. Input: Submitted input data, Output: Generates validation results.

[0250] Step 7:

[0251] The server generates an error message based on the verification result if any defects are found and sends it to the terminal. Input: Verification result, Output: Generation and transmission of error message

[0252] Step 8:

[0253] The terminal receives the error message sent from the server and displays it in an easy-to-understand manner for the user. Input: Error message, Output: Display of error message to the user

[0254] Step 9:

[0255] The user makes the necessary corrections based on the error message and re-enters the data into the terminal. Input: Error message, Output: Corrected input data

[0256] Step 10:

[0257] The terminal sends the corrected input data to the server again and requests re-verification. Input: Corrected input data, Output: Retransmission to server

[0258] Step 11:

[0259] The server re-verifies the re-transmitted data, and if any defects are resolved, approves it and sends an approval notice to the user. Input: Re-transmitted input data, Output: Approval notice

[0260] Step 12:

[0261] The emotion engine continuously monitors the user's emotional state and provides appropriate feedback to the device as needed. For example, if the user is confused, it displays a guide to prompt for further explanation. Input: User's emotional data, Output: Providing feedback

[0262] The above is a detailed explanation of the program processing of this system.

[0263] (Application example 2)

[0264] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0265] Conventional electronic payment services lack a mechanism for verifying the accuracy of user-entered information in real time, and there are insufficient means for users to correct incorrect information on the spot. Furthermore, there is no feedback that takes into account the user's emotions, often resulting in a poor user experience. Providing appropriate support for users who feel frustrated or confused when entering information is a particular challenge.

[0266] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0267] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for transmitting the input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information, means for providing the user with the verification result, means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the verification result, means including an emotion engine for analyzing the user's emotions, and means for providing the user with appropriate feedback based on the emotion analysis result by the emotion engine. This makes it possible to verify and correct the user's input information in real time and to provide appropriate feedback that takes the user's emotions into consideration.

[0268] "User" refers to a person who operates a system, generally a user of a service.

[0269] "Input information" refers to information provided by a user to the system, and specific examples include name, address, and payment information.

[0270] "Means for sending" refers to the method or mechanism for sending the information entered by the user to the server.

[0271] "Means for validating" refers to a method or mechanism for checking the accuracy and consistency of input information submitted to the server.

[0272] "Means of providing" refers to the method or mechanism for communicating the verification results to the user.

[0273] "Means for prompting corrections" refers to a method or mechanism for prompting the user to make necessary corrections based on the verification results.

[0274] "Emotion engine" refers to a software or hardware mechanism for analyzing a user's emotions and providing feedback based on the results.

[0275] The "means for providing feedback" refers to a method or mechanism for providing appropriate advice or information to the user based on the analysis results of the emotion engine.

[0276] The term "system" refers to the entire device or software that combines the above-mentioned means to execute a series of processes in which the user inputs information, verifies that information in real time, prompts corrections as necessary, and provides feedback corresponding to the user's emotions.

[0277] The present invention includes a system that collects user input information in stages and verifies the information in real time, as well as an emotion engine that recognizes and analyzes the user's emotions and provides feedback. Specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0278] System Configuration

[0279] The system consists of a terminal used by the user, a server, and an emotion engine. Each part of the system functions as follows:

[0280] Terminal

[0281] The user starts a dedicated application using a device such as a smartphone and enters credit card information and other payment information step by step. The device is equipped with a means for accepting input information and a means for transmitting the input information to a server. The device is also equipped with a camera and microphone to detect the user's facial expressions and voice.

[0282] server

[0283] The server has a means to verify input information sent from the terminal in real time. Specifically, it has the following functions:

[0284] Verify the accuracy (consistency, validity) of input information

[0285] Generating validation results

[0286] A means of providing verification results to the terminal

[0287] If the input information is incomplete, the server generates a detailed error message and sends it back to the terminal, which is displayed to the user in a visually understandable format.

[0288] Emotion Engine

[0289] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to recognize emotions in real time. For example, it uses OpenCV to process image data acquired from a camera and analyzes specific tones in the voice to determine whether the user is irritated or confused. Based on the results of this emotion analysis, it generates appropriate feedback (such as a gentle explanation or detailed help information).

[0290] Examples of usage

[0291] Consider a case where a user enters credit card information using a smartphone. As the user enters the "card number," "expiration date," and "CVV" step by step, the terminal immediately sends the information to the server. The server performs verification, and if, for example, the card number is not entered in the correct format, it generates an error message saying "Please enter the card number correctly" and sends it back to the terminal.

[0292] Additionally, if the user shows a confused expression while entering text, the emotion engine will recognize this and instruct the device to provide specific feedback, such as "display input guide." The device will then immediately display additional help information, allowing the user to continue entering text smoothly.

[0293] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0294] Below are some examples of prompts for using generative AI models:

[0295] Generate a program that analyzes the user's emotions and provides feedback that displays gentle explanations and additional help information if it detects frustration or confusion.

[0296] In this way, the present invention not only improves the accuracy of user input information, but also significantly improves the user experience by combining it with an emotion engine.

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.

[0343] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific process is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific process may be performed by the smart device 14.

The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0348] The smart glasses 214 include a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, and the camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0349] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user 20 by receiving voice uttered by the user 20. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user 20, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio in accordance with instructions from the processor 46.

[0350] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the surroundings of user 20 (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0356] Next, a description will be given of the identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0357] ---

[0358] The present invention relates to an interactive system that collects user-entered information in a step-by-step manner, validates the information in real time, and provides feedback, minimizing the possibility of user input errors and ensuring accurate data entry.

[0359] First, the user launches a dedicated application on their device to begin registering their My Number. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, prompting the user to enter the necessary information step by step. The information entered at each step is accepted by the device and immediately sent to the server.

[0360] The server validates the input information it receives in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency, for example, whether information such as name and address is entered in the correct format, whether all required fields are filled in, etc. If invalid or incomplete information is found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[0361] The device receives error messages from the server and displays them in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message will be displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then use this feedback to make any necessary corrections. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent back to the server for revalidation. This process is repeated until all information has been entered correctly.

[0362] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user registers their My Number. The user launches an application and enters their "last name" and "first name." They enter "Yamada" for "last name" and "Taro" for "first name," and click "Next." This information is sent by the terminal to the server, which checks that the "last name" and "first name" fields are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers. If any errors are found, for example, if the "first name" contains numbers, the server sends an error message back to the terminal saying, "Please do not include numbers in your first name." The user corrects the input based on the error message and submits the information again.

[0363] This interactive system allows users to receive continuous feedback and ensure correct information is entered, reducing human error in the My Number and personal information registration process and achieving highly reliable data collection.

[0364] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0365] ---

[0366] Step 1:

[0367] The user launches a dedicated application on the device. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, and displays an initial screen that prompts the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[0368] Step 2:

[0369] The terminal displays a form on the screen for inputting "first name" and "last name." For example, it displays a message prompting the user to first input "last name," and provides an input field.

[0370] Step 3:

[0371] The user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" and clicks the "Next" button, thereby finalizing the input information.

[0372] Step 4:

[0373] The device temporarily stores the information entered and performs basic checks to ensure that the contents of the input fields are in the correct format, such as ensuring that the fields are not blank and that they contain the correct number of characters.

[0374] Step 5:

[0375] After the device passes the basic check, it sends the entered information to the server. For example, it sends the data "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" in JSON format to the server.

[0376] Step 6:

[0377] The server performs extensive validation of the name information it receives, specifically by programmatically checking that the "first name" and "last name" are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers.

[0378] Step 7:

[0379] The server generates the validation result and creates an error message if necessary. For example, if "First name" is blank, it generates the message "Please enter your first name."

[0380] Step 8:

[0381] The server returns the verification result and an error message to the terminal. For example, if the verification is successful, it sends a success message, otherwise it sends an error message.

[0382] Step 9:

[0383] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays an error message to the user, for example, "First name should not contain numbers."

[0384] Step 10:

[0385] The user corrects the input based on the error message and clicks the "Next" button again. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again.

[0386] Step 11:

[0387] The server will verify the information again to make sure everything is correct, and if so, will send a response back to the device saying it can continue.

[0388] Step 12:

[0389] The next step is for the device to display an address form, with fields for "city, state, town, or village," and "address."

[0390] Step 13:

[0391] The user enters an address and clicks the "Next" button. For example, the user enters "Tokyo", "Shinjuku-ku", and "Nishi-Shinjuku 2-chome".

[0392] Step 14:

[0393] The device temporarily stores the address information, performs basic formatting checks, and then sends the information to the server.

[0394] Step 15:

[0395] The server receives the address information and performs further validation, ensuring that the "state" is selected from a valid list and that the "city" and "street" are in the correct format.

[0396] Step 16:

[0397] The server generates the verification result and, if necessary, creates an error message and sends it to the terminal.

[0398] Step 17:

[0399] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays an error message to the user, who then makes corrections and sends the information back to the server.

[0400] Step 18:

[0401] If all information is verified as correct, the server generates a final confirmation message and stores the original information in a database.

[0402] Step 19:

[0403] The terminal will display "Registration complete" to the user and the process will end.

[0404] Example 1

[0405] 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 glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0406] In conventional data entry systems, when a user enters incorrect information, feedback on the error is often delayed. This often requires the user to repeat the input multiple times, making the input process cumbersome and time-consuming. Another issue is that verified information is not properly fed back, making it difficult for users to know which parts need to be corrected. Accuracy is particularly important when collecting important personal information, so a system that can collect information efficiently and accurately was needed.

[0407] 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.

[0408] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for gradually collecting the input information, means for transmitting the collected input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information in real time, means for providing the verification result to the user, and means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the provided verification result. This allows the information entered by the user to be immediately verified and feedback to be provided in real time, enabling the user to efficiently input accurate data.

[0409] A "user" is an entity that utilizes the system to input data and receive feedback.

[0410] "Input information" refers to data that a user inputs into the system, and may include name information and address information.

[0411] "Incremental collection means" is a system function that collects information entered by the user piecemeal as needed.

[0412] "Transmitting means" refers to the system's function for transferring information entered by the user to the server.

[0413] "Real-time validation means" refers to the ability of the server to instantly analyze input information received and check its accuracy and consistency.

[0414] The "means for providing the verification result to the user" is a system function in which the server sends the verification result to the terminal and displays it to the user.

[0415] "Means for prompting correction of input information" refers to a system function for assisting the user in re-entering accurate data.

[0416] The present invention relates to an interactive system that collects user-entered information in a step-by-step manner, validates the information in real time, and provides feedback, minimizing the possibility of user input errors and ensuring accurate data entry.

[0417] In this embodiment of the system, a user first launches a dedicated application on a terminal, such as a PC, tablet, or smartphone. This application is designed in an interactive wizard format, prompting the user to input the necessary information step by step. The information input at each step is accepted by the terminal and immediately sent to the server.

[0418] The server, which can be a cloud server or an on-premise server, validates the input information it receives in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency. For example, it checks whether information such as name and address is entered in the correct format and whether all required fields are filled in. If invalid information or deficiencies are found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[0419] The terminal receives the error message and displays it in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message is displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then use this feedback to make any necessary corrections. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent back to the server for revalidation. This process is repeated until all information has been entered correctly.

[0420] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user registers their My Number. The user launches an application and enters their "last name" and "first name." They enter "Yamada" for "last name" and "Taro" for "first name," and click "Next." This information is sent by the terminal to the server, which checks that the "last name" and "first name" fields are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers. If any errors are found, for example, if the "first name" contains numbers, the server sends an error message back to the terminal saying, "Please do not include numbers in your first name." The user corrects the input based on the error message and submits the information again.

[0421] This interactive system allows users to receive continuous feedback and ensure correct information is entered, reducing human error in the My Number and personal information registration process and achieving highly reliable data collection.

[0422] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is as follows:

[0423] "Write a scenario in the interactive My Number registration system where a user makes a specific format error in their first name (the first name contains a number) and then corrects it. First, the user starts the app, enters 'Yamada123' as their first name, and clicks Next. The server receives this input, generates an error message telling the user not to include numbers in their first name, and gives feedback to the user. Show the flow of the process where the user corrects their first name to 'Yamada' and submits the form again."

[0424] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0425] Step 1:

[0426] The user launches a dedicated application. The user selects and taps or clicks the dedicated application icon from the desktop or app menu on their PC, tablet, or smartphone. The application displays a login screen to the user, and the user enters their login information. The entered login information is sent from the device to the server. The server verifies the login information and, if correct, starts a session.

[0427] Step 2:

[0428] The user enters the input information step by step. The user follows the instructions on the application screen and enters personal information such as name, address, etc. After each field is entered, the device encrypts the information and sends it to the server.

[0429] Step 3:

[0430] The terminal sends the input information to the server. The terminal sends the information for each field entered by the user to the server in a specific format. The information sent includes the user's session ID and timestamp.

[0431] Step 4:

[0432] The server validates the incoming information in real time. The server checks the received data against a database to check for accuracy and consistency. For example, it verifies that the entered name complies with the field rules, or that the address exists. Regular expressions and database queries are used for validation.

[0433] Step 5:

[0434] The server generates the validation results. The server generates error and warning messages based on the validation results. These messages indicate the specific fields and problems that exist. The generated messages are saved together with the user's session information and sent to the terminal.

[0435] Step 6:

[0436] The server sends the feedback to the terminal. The server sends the feedback message generated in the previous step to the user's terminal. The message is encrypted and transmitted securely.

[0437] Step 7:

[0438] The terminal displays the feedback to the user. The terminal interprets the feedback message received from the server and displays it in a format that is easy for the user to understand. If there is an error message, it displays the error message near the relevant input field and prompts the user to correct it.

[0439] Step 8:

[0440] The user corrects the input. Based on the error message displayed, the user corrects the information in the relevant field. For example, they replace the incorrect information with the correct information. After correcting the information, the user taps or clicks the "Next" button again.

[0441] Step 9:

[0442] The device sends the information to the server again. Any information modified by the user is sent from the device to the server again. At this time, the resent information is also encrypted and transferred securely.

[0443] Step 10:

[0444] The server performs a re-verification. The server verifies the re-submitted data in real time, just as it did the first time. If the corrected information is accurate, it is ready to proceed to the next step.

[0445] Through these steps, the system allows users to receive continuous feedback to ensure they enter the correct information, streamlining the entry process and improving accuracy.

[0446] (Application example 1)

[0447] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0448] The present invention aims to solve the problem of secure and accurate information collection by providing a mechanism to prevent users from entering incorrect or incomplete information when registering important security information. In particular, the invention aims to minimize input errors by providing real-time feedback and sequential validation of information entered by users.

[0449] 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.

[0450] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for transmitting the input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information, means for providing the user with the verification result, and means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the verification result. This allows the appropriateness of security information and other important information to be verified sequentially when the user registers that information, enabling accurate information input.

[0451] A "user" is a person or entity that accesses and inputs information into the system.

[0452] "Input information" refers to the data and content provided by the user through the system.

[0453] "Means for receiving" refers to an interface or device for acquiring and processing input information from a user.

[0454] "Transmitting means" refers to a communication function or protocol for transmitting input information received from a user to a server or other device.

[0455] "Verification measures" refers to the processes or algorithms used to check whether input information is accurate, consistent, etc.

[0456] The "means for providing" refers to a method or device for notifying the user of the verification result as feedback.

[0457] "Means to encourage correction" refers to features or messages that guide users to correct incorrect information.

[0458] "Security Information" refers to sensitive data related to a user's personal security or authentication, such as passwords, identification numbers, etc.

[0459] "Sequential verification methods" refer to algorithms or systems that step by step check the information entered by the user and update the results each time.

[0460] "Feedback" refers to information or instructions provided to the user based on the verification results.

[0461] The present invention relates to a system that validates critical security information as it is entered by a user and provides real-time feedback to help ensure accurate information entry and minimize errors.

[0462] Specifically, we use the smartphone application "IdentitySafe." This application is implemented using Python, accepts information entered by the user, sends it to a server, and provides the user with the verification results in real time.

[0463] The server receives the information entered by the user and runs an algorithm to validate the accuracy of the information, including checking that the information is in the correct format and content. The library used is the Python requests library.

[0464] The terminal provides an interface for the user to input information and sends the input data to the server. The terminal displays the feedback received from the server in an easy-to-understand manner to the user, prompting them to make corrections as necessary. This allows the user to input accurate information while receiving successive feedback.

[0465] For example, a user might enter "password123!" in the "Password" field and then click the "Next" button. This information is immediately sent to the server, which verifies the password's security. As a result, the server might return feedback such as "Please add more special characters to your password," and the user can correct their input accordingly.

[0466] Example prompt sentence:

[0467] "Enter field name: Password"

[0468] "Please enter a password value: password123!"

[0469] In this way, the system validates the user's information input sequentially and provides feedback in real time, ensuring accurate information registration.

[0470] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0471] Step 1:

[0472] The user inputs the input information. The terminal accepts the information input by the user (for example, the field name "password" and its value "password123!"). This allows the input information to be acquired as internal data of the terminal.

[0473] Step 2:

[0474] The terminal sends the received input information to the server. Specifically, it converts the field name and its value into JSON format data and sends an HTTP request to the server. This request passes the input information to the server.

[0475] Step 3:

[0476] The server analyzes the input it receives and runs a validation algorithm (for example, the server checks the format and strength of the password). This process verifies the accuracy and consistency of the data.

[0477] Step 4:

[0478] The server generates a validation result and provides feedback based on the result, including specific instructions on what to do if the input needs to be corrected, such as "Please add more special characters to your password."

[0479] Step 5:

[0480] The server returns the generated feedback to the device as JSON-formatted data, which includes instructions for prompting the user to make corrections.

[0481] Step 6:

[0482] The device analyzes the received feedback and displays it in a way that is easy for the user to understand. Specifically, it displays a message on the screen saying, "Please add more special characters to your password." This helps the user understand what needs to be corrected.

[0483] Step 7:

[0484] The user corrects the information they entered based on the displayed feedback, re-enters the correct information into the input field, and proceeds. This process is repeated until all information is entered correctly.

[0485] 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.

[0486] ---

[0487] The present invention relates to a system that collects user input information step by step and verifies the information in real time. The present invention further provides a more effective and user-friendly interface by combining an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions.

[0488] First, the user launches a dedicated application on their device to begin registering their My Number. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, leading the user through a step-by-step process of entering the necessary information. As the user enters information, the device's camera and microphone are used to detect the user's facial expressions and voice, and an emotion engine is activated to analyze their emotions.

[0489] The terminal accepts input information, such as the user's name and address, and immediately sends it to the server. The server then validates the input information in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency. For example, it checks whether the name and address are entered in the correct format and whether all required fields are filled in. If invalid or incomplete information is found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[0490] The device receives error messages from the server and displays them in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message will be displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then make the necessary corrections based on this feedback. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again for revalidation.

[0491] Here, the role of the emotion engine, a distinctive feature of the present invention, becomes important. The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions in real time by capturing the user's facial expressions from a camera and the tone of their voice from a microphone. For example, if the user is irritated, the emotion engine will recognize this and provide feedback to the device, such as "repeat the explanation in a gentler tone." If the user is confused, the emotion engine will take appropriate measures, such as displaying additional help information.

[0492] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user is registering their My Number. While the user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro," the emotion engine monitors the user's facial expression. For example, if the user shows a confused expression, the emotion engine instructs the device to "display a message that provides detailed instructions on how to enter the information." In response to this instruction, the device displays a "Name entry guide" and provides further detailed explanations to the user.

[0493] In this way, a dialogue system that incorporates user emotions can simultaneously improve ease of use and the accuracy of information. By using an emotion engine, it is possible not only to prevent user input errors but also to improve the user experience.

[0494] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0495] ---

[0496] Step 1:

[0497] The user starts a dedicated application on the device. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, and displays an initial screen that prompts the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[0498] Step 2:

[0499] The device displays a form for the user to enter their first and last name, and begins capturing the user's facial expressions and voice in real time using the device's camera and microphone.

[0500] Step 3:

[0501] The user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" and clicks the "Next" button. This causes the entered information to be temporarily saved within the device.

[0502] Step 4:

[0503] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice and analyzes them in real time to generate emotional data about the user, such as detecting confused facial expressions and tone of voice.

[0504] Step 5:

[0505] The device sends the input information and emotion data to the server. The emotion data is sent together with the input name information.

[0506] Step 6:

[0507] The server performs extensive validation of the name information it receives, including checking that the first and last names are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers.

[0508] Step 7:

[0509] The server analyzes the emotional data and generates appropriate feedback based on the user's emotional state, for example, generating a gentle tone message if the user is annoyed.

[0510] Step 8:

[0511] The server returns a message to the terminal containing the verification result and appropriate feedback, such as an error message such as "Please make sure your first name does not contain numbers" and instructions in a user-friendly tone.

[0512] Step 9:

[0513] The device receives the response from the server and displays an error message and feedback to the user. For example, if a confused expression is detected, a "Name Input Guide" pop-up will be displayed.

[0514] Step 10:

[0515] The user corrects the input based on the error message and feedback provided and clicks the "Next" button again. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again.

[0516] Step 11:

[0517] The server will verify the information again to make sure everything is correct, and if so, will send a response back to the device saying it can continue.

[0518] Step 12:

[0519] The device will then display an address form for the next step, with fields for city, state, and street address. The camera and microphone will remain active.

[0520] Step 13:

[0521] The user enters an address and clicks the "Next" button. For example, they enter "Tokyo," "Shinjuku Ward," and "Nishi-Shinjuku 2-chome." Emotional data continues to be collected.

[0522] Step 14:

[0523] The device sends address information and current emotion data to the server.

[0524] Step 15:

[0525] The server performs detailed validation of the address information, for example, ensuring that the state is selected from a valid list and that the city and street address are in the correct format.

[0526] Step 16:

[0527] The server generates appropriate feedback based on the emotional data and sends it to the device along with the verification results.

[0528] Step 17:

[0529] The device receives the response from the server, displays an error message and feedback to the user, who then makes corrections and sends the information back to the server.

[0530] Step 18:

[0531] If all information is verified as correct, the server generates a final confirmation message and stores the original information in a database.

[0532] Step 19:

[0533] The terminal will display "Registration complete" to the user and the process will end.

[0534] Example 2

[0535] 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."

[0536] In conventional systems, it was difficult to verify and correct user input information in real time, leading to frequent user input errors and inaccurate information. Furthermore, when users became confused or frustrated, the system was unable to provide appropriate feedback, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0537] 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.

[0538] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input data from a user, means for transmitting the input data, means for verifying the transmitted input data, means for providing the user with the verification result, means for prompting the user to correct the input data based on the verification result, means for recognizing the user's emotion, and means for providing appropriate feedback based on the emotion, thereby making it possible to detect input errors made by the user in real time and provide appropriate feedback.

[0539] "User" refers to any individual or entity that utilizes this system and provides input data.

[0540] "Input data" refers to information provided by a user to the system, including, for example, personal information and address information.

[0541] "Server" refers to a device that accepts, transmits, and validates input data and provides feedback to the user.

[0542] "Emotion" refers to the psychological state of the user as recognized from facial expressions, tone of voice, etc.

[0543] "Feedback" refers to information provided by the system based on the user's input data, its validation results, or emotions.

[0544] "Means of acceptance" refers to the interface or function that the system uses to obtain input data from the user.

[0545] "Means for sending" refers to a function that allows the system to send input data acquired from the user to the server.

[0546] "Means of validation" refers to the ability of the server to check the accuracy and completeness of input data received.

[0547] "Means to provide" refers to the function by which the server communicates the verification results and feedback to the user.

[0548] "Means for prompting correction" refers to a function in which the server requests the user to correct the input data based on the validation results.

[0549] "Means of recognition" refers to the technology and functions that allow the system to sense the user's emotions using a camera or microphone.

[0550] "Means for providing appropriate feedback" refers to the system's ability to provide appropriate information to the user depending on the user's emotions and the status of the input data.

[0551] This invention relates to a system that collects and verifies input data from users in real time, recognizes their emotions, and provides appropriate feedback. The purpose of this system is to provide an interactive interface to improve the user experience.

[0552] First, the user launches a dedicated application on the device and begins the process of, for example, registering their My Number. The device is equipped with a built-in camera and microphone, which are used to capture the user's facial expressions and voice. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, allowing the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[0553] When a user enters information into required fields (e.g., name and address), the device sends the information to the server. The server validates the input data in real time, for example, ensuring that the name and address are entered in the correct format and that all required fields are filled in. If the data is incomplete, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the device.

[0554] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice tone in real time to recognize their emotions. For example, if the user is confused, the emotion engine will recognize this and issue instructions to the device, such as "display a guide that explains how to enter information in detail." This allows the user to receive specific error messages and instructions, allowing them to accurately correct their input data.

[0555] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user is registering their My Number. If the user shows a confused expression while entering "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro," the emotion engine will recognize this. The emotion engine will instruct the device to "display a message explaining in detail how to enter the information," and as a result, the message "Please enter the last name portion of the last name" will be displayed to the user. In this way, the user can enter accurate information.

[0556] Examples of prompts for generative AI models include:

[0557] "A user is entering their name into the My Number registration system. If they show a confused expression while entering their name, please have the emotion engine recognize this confusion and instruct the device to display a guide detailing how to enter their name. Please also provide specific examples of messages."

[0558] As described above, this system ensures the accuracy of user input data and improves the user experience. The feedback function using the emotion engine reduces the psychological burden on the user and enables smooth data entry.

[0559] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0560] Step 1:

[0561] The user starts the dedicated application on the device and begins registering their My Number. When the user presses the start button, the application launches and the initial screen is displayed. Input: User operation, Output: Application startup

[0562] Step 2:

[0563] The terminal displays an interactive wizard-style screen, prompting the user step-by-step for the necessary input data (e.g., name and address). The terminal waits for data to be entered in each field. Input: Information entered by the user, Output: Wizard-style screen

[0564] Step 3:

[0565] The device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and sends them to the emotion engine. Input: Data from the camera and microphone, Output: Data sent to the emotion engine

[0566] Step 4:

[0567] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions in real time based on the input facial and voice data. Input: Data from the camera and microphone, Output: User's emotional state

[0568] Step 5:

[0569] Once the user has entered all the required information, the terminal sends the input data to the server. Input: User input data, Output: Data transmission to the server

[0570] Step 6:

[0571] The server validates the received input data in real time, checking for format conformance and required fields. Input: Submitted input data, Output: Generates validation results.

[0572] Step 7:

[0573] The server generates an error message based on the verification result if any defects are found and sends it to the terminal. Input: Verification result, Output: Generation and transmission of error message

[0574] Step 8:

[0575] The terminal receives the error message sent from the server and displays it in an easy-to-understand manner for the user. Input: Error message, Output: Display of error message to the user

[0576] Step 9:

[0577] The user makes the necessary corrections based on the error message and re-enters the data into the terminal. Input: Error message, Output: Corrected input data

[0578] Step 10:

[0579] The terminal sends the corrected input data to the server again and requests re-verification. Input: Corrected input data, Output: Retransmission to server

[0580] Step 11:

[0581] The server re-verifies the re-transmitted data, and if any defects are resolved, approves it and sends an approval notice to the user. Input: Re-transmitted input data, Output: Approval notice

[0582] Step 12:

[0583] The emotion engine continuously monitors the user's emotional state and provides appropriate feedback to the device as needed. For example, if the user is confused, it displays a guide to prompt for further explanation. Input: User's emotional data, Output: Providing feedback

[0584] The above is a detailed explanation of the program processing of this system.

[0585] (Application example 2)

[0586] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0587] Conventional electronic payment services lack a mechanism for verifying the accuracy of user-entered information in real time, and there are insufficient means for users to correct incorrect information on the spot. Furthermore, there is no feedback that takes into account the user's emotions, often resulting in a poor user experience. Providing appropriate support for users who feel frustrated or confused when entering information is a particular challenge.

[0588] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0589] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for transmitting the input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information, means for providing the user with the verification result, means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the verification result, means including an emotion engine for analyzing the user's emotions, and means for providing the user with appropriate feedback based on the emotion analysis result by the emotion engine. This makes it possible to verify and correct the user's input information in real time and to provide appropriate feedback that takes the user's emotions into consideration.

[0590] "User" refers to a person who operates a system, generally a user of a service.

[0591] "Input information" refers to information provided by a user to the system, and specific examples include name, address, and payment information.

[0592] "Means for sending" refers to the method or mechanism for sending the information entered by the user to the server.

[0593] "Means for validating" refers to a method or mechanism for checking the accuracy and consistency of input information submitted to the server.

[0594] "Means of providing" refers to the method or mechanism for communicating the verification results to the user.

[0595] "Means for prompting corrections" refers to a method or mechanism for prompting the user to make necessary corrections based on the verification results.

[0596] "Emotion engine" refers to a software or hardware mechanism for analyzing a user's emotions and providing feedback based on the results.

[0597] The "means for providing feedback" refers to a method or mechanism for providing appropriate advice or information to the user based on the analysis results of the emotion engine.

[0598] The term "system" refers to the entire device or software that combines the above-mentioned means to execute a series of processes in which the user inputs information, verifies that information in real time, prompts corrections as necessary, and provides feedback corresponding to the user's emotions.

[0599] The present invention includes a system that collects user input information in stages and verifies the information in real time, as well as an emotion engine that recognizes and analyzes the user's emotions and provides feedback. Specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0600] System Configuration

[0601] The system consists of a terminal used by the user, a server, and an emotion engine. Each part of the system functions as follows:

[0602] Terminal

[0603] The user starts a dedicated application using a device such as a smartphone and enters credit card information and other payment information step by step. The device is equipped with a means for accepting input information and a means for transmitting the input information to a server. The device is also equipped with a camera and microphone to detect the user's facial expressions and voice.

[0604] server

[0605] The server has a means to verify input information sent from the terminal in real time. Specifically, it has the following functions:

[0606] Verify the accuracy (consistency, validity) of input information

[0607] Generating validation results

[0608] A means of providing verification results to the terminal

[0609] If the input information is incomplete, the server generates a detailed error message and sends it back to the terminal, which is displayed to the user in a visually understandable format.

[0610] Emotion Engine

[0611] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to recognize emotions in real time. For example, it uses OpenCV to process image data acquired from a camera and analyzes specific tones in the voice to determine whether the user is irritated or confused. Based on the results of this emotion analysis, it generates appropriate feedback (such as a gentle explanation or detailed help information).

[0612] Examples of usage

[0613] Consider a case where a user enters credit card information using a smartphone. As the user enters the "card number," "expiration date," and "CVV" step by step, the terminal immediately sends the information to the server. The server performs verification, and if, for example, the card number is not entered in the correct format, it generates an error message saying "Please enter the card number correctly" and sends it back to the terminal.

[0614] Additionally, if the user shows a confused expression while entering text, the emotion engine will recognize this and instruct the device to provide specific feedback, such as "display input guide." The device will then immediately display additional help information, allowing the user to continue entering text smoothly.

[0615] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0616] Below are some examples of prompts for using generative AI models:

[0617] Generate a program that analyzes the user's emotions and provides feedback that displays gentle explanations and additional help information if it detects frustration or confusion.

[0618] In this way, the present invention not only improves the accuracy of user input information, but also significantly improves the user experience by combining it with an emotion engine.

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.

[0665] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the smart glasses 214.

In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0679] ---

[0680] The present invention relates to an interactive system that collects user-entered information in a step-by-step manner, validates the information in real time, and provides feedback, minimizing the possibility of user input errors and ensuring accurate data entry.

[0681] First, the user launches a dedicated application on their device to begin registering their My Number. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, prompting the user to enter the necessary information step by step. The information entered at each step is accepted by the device and immediately sent to the server.

[0682] The server validates the input information it receives in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency, for example, whether information such as name and address is entered in the correct format, whether all required fields are filled in, etc. If invalid or incomplete information is found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[0683] The device receives error messages from the server and displays them in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message will be displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then use this feedback to make any necessary corrections. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent back to the server for revalidation. This process is repeated until all information has been entered correctly.

[0684] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user registers their My Number. The user launches an application and enters their "last name" and "first name." They enter "Yamada" for "last name" and "Taro" for "first name," and click "Next." This information is sent by the terminal to the server, which checks that the "last name" and "first name" fields are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers. If any errors are found, for example, if the "first name" contains numbers, the server sends an error message back to the terminal saying, "Please do not include numbers in your first name." The user corrects the input based on the error message and submits the information again.

[0685] This interactive system allows users to receive continuous feedback and ensure correct information is entered, reducing human error in the My Number and personal information registration process and achieving highly reliable data collection.

[0686] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0687] ---

[0688] Step 1:

[0689] The user launches a dedicated application on the device. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, and displays an initial screen that prompts the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[0690] Step 2:

[0691] The terminal displays a form on the screen for inputting "first name" and "last name." For example, it displays a message prompting the user to first input "last name," and provides an input field.

[0692] Step 3:

[0693] The user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" and clicks the "Next" button, thereby finalizing the input information.

[0694] Step 4:

[0695] The device temporarily stores the information entered and performs basic checks to ensure that the contents of the input fields are in the correct format, such as ensuring that the fields are not blank and that they contain the correct number of characters.

[0696] Step 5:

[0697] After the device passes the basic check, it sends the entered information to the server. For example, it sends the data "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" in JSON format to the server.

[0698] Step 6:

[0699] The server performs extensive validation of the name information it receives, specifically by programmatically checking that the "first name" and "last name" are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers.

[0700] Step 7:

[0701] The server generates the validation result and creates an error message if necessary. For example, if "First name" is blank, it generates the message "Please enter your first name."

[0702] Step 8:

[0703] The server returns the verification result and an error message to the terminal. For example, if the verification is successful, it sends a success message, otherwise it sends an error message.

[0704] Step 9:

[0705] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays an error message to the user, for example, "First name should not contain numbers."

[0706] Step 10:

[0707] The user corrects the input based on the error message and clicks the "Next" button again. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again.

[0708] Step 11:

[0709] The server will verify the information again to make sure everything is correct, and if so, will send a response back to the device saying it can continue.

[0710] Step 12:

[0711] The next step is for the device to display an address form, with fields for "city, state, town, or village," and "address."

[0712] Step 13:

[0713] The user enters an address and clicks the "Next" button. For example, the user enters "Tokyo", "Shinjuku-ku", and "Nishi-Shinjuku 2-chome".

[0714] Step 14:

[0715] The device temporarily stores the address information, performs basic formatting checks, and then sends the information to the server.

[0716] Step 15:

[0717] The server receives the address information and performs further validation, ensuring that the "state" is selected from a valid list and that the "city" and "street" are in the correct format.

[0718] Step 16:

[0719] The server generates the verification result and, if necessary, creates an error message and sends it to the terminal.

[0720] Step 17:

[0721] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays an error message to the user, who then makes corrections and sends the information back to the server.

[0722] Step 18:

[0723] If all information is verified as correct, the server generates a final confirmation message and stores the original information in a database.

[0724] Step 19:

[0725] The terminal will display "Registration complete" to the user and the process will end.

[0726] Example 1

[0727] 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 headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0728] In conventional data entry systems, when a user enters incorrect information, feedback on the error is often delayed. This often requires the user to repeat the input multiple times, making the input process cumbersome and time-consuming. Another issue is that verified information is not properly fed back, making it difficult for users to know which parts need to be corrected. Accuracy is particularly important when collecting important personal information, so a system that can collect information efficiently and accurately was needed.

[0729] 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.

[0730] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for gradually collecting the input information, means for transmitting the collected input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information in real time, means for providing the verification result to the user, and means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the provided verification result. This allows the information entered by the user to be immediately verified and feedback to be provided in real time, enabling the user to efficiently input accurate data.

[0731] A "user" is an entity that utilizes the system to input data and receive feedback.

[0732] "Input information" refers to data that a user inputs into the system, and may include name information and address information.

[0733] "Incremental collection means" is a system function that collects information entered by the user piecemeal as needed.

[0734] "Transmitting means" refers to the system's function for transferring information entered by the user to the server.

[0735] "Real-time validation means" refers to the ability of the server to instantly analyze input information received and check its accuracy and consistency.

[0736] The "means for providing the verification result to the user" is a system function in which the server sends the verification result to the terminal and displays it to the user.

[0737] "Means for prompting correction of input information" refers to a system function for assisting the user in re-entering accurate data.

[0738] The present invention relates to an interactive system that collects user-entered information in a step-by-step manner, validates the information in real time, and provides feedback, minimizing the possibility of user input errors and ensuring accurate data entry.

[0739] In this embodiment of the system, a user first launches a dedicated application on a terminal, such as a PC, tablet, or smartphone. This application is designed in an interactive wizard format, prompting the user to input the necessary information step by step. The information input at each step is accepted by the terminal and immediately sent to the server.

[0740] The server, which can be a cloud server or an on-premise server, validates the input information it receives in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency. For example, it checks whether information such as name and address is entered in the correct format and whether all required fields are filled in. If invalid information or deficiencies are found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[0741] The terminal receives the error message and displays it in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message is displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then use this feedback to make any necessary corrections. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent back to the server for revalidation. This process is repeated until all information has been entered correctly.

[0742] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user registers their My Number. The user launches an application and enters their "last name" and "first name." They enter "Yamada" for "last name" and "Taro" for "first name," and click "Next." This information is sent by the terminal to the server, which checks that the "last name" and "first name" fields are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers. If any errors are found, for example, if the "first name" contains numbers, the server sends an error message back to the terminal saying, "Please do not include numbers in your first name." The user corrects the input based on the error message and submits the information again.

[0743] This interactive system allows users to receive continuous feedback and ensure correct information is entered, reducing human error in the My Number and personal information registration process and achieving highly reliable data collection.

[0744] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is as follows:

[0745] "Write a scenario in the interactive My Number registration system where a user makes a specific format error in their first name (the first name contains a number) and then corrects it. First, the user starts the app, enters 'Yamada123' as their first name, and clicks Next. The server receives this input, generates an error message telling the user not to include numbers in their first name, and gives feedback to the user. Show the flow of the process where the user corrects their first name to 'Yamada' and submits the form again."

[0746] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0747] Step 1:

[0748] The user launches a dedicated application. The user selects and taps or clicks the dedicated application icon from the desktop or app menu on their PC, tablet, or smartphone. The application displays a login screen to the user, and the user enters their login information. The entered login information is sent from the device to the server. The server verifies the login information and, if correct, starts a session.

[0749] Step 2:

[0750] The user enters the input information step by step. The user follows the instructions on the application screen and enters personal information such as name, address, etc. After each field is entered, the device encrypts the information and sends it to the server.

[0751] Step 3:

[0752] The terminal sends the input information to the server. The terminal sends the information for each field entered by the user to the server in a specific format. The information sent includes the user's session ID and timestamp.

[0753] Step 4:

[0754] The server validates the incoming information in real time. The server checks the received data against a database to check for accuracy and consistency. For example, it verifies that the entered name complies with the field rules, or that the address exists. Regular expressions and database queries are used for validation.

[0755] Step 5:

[0756] The server generates the validation results. The server generates error and warning messages based on the validation results. These messages indicate the specific fields and problems that exist. The generated messages are saved together with the user's session information and sent to the terminal.

[0757] Step 6:

[0758] The server sends the feedback to the terminal. The server sends the feedback message generated in the previous step to the user's terminal. The message is encrypted and transmitted securely.

[0759] Step 7:

[0760] The terminal displays the feedback to the user. The terminal interprets the feedback message received from the server and displays it in a format that is easy for the user to understand. If there is an error message, it displays the error message near the relevant input field and prompts the user to correct it.

[0761] Step 8:

[0762] The user corrects the input. Based on the error message displayed, the user corrects the information in the relevant field. For example, they replace the incorrect information with the correct information. After correcting the information, the user taps or clicks the "Next" button again.

[0763] Step 9:

[0764] The device sends the information to the server again. Any information modified by the user is sent from the device to the server again. At this time, the resent information is also encrypted and transferred securely.

[0765] Step 10:

[0766] The server performs a re-verification. The server verifies the re-submitted data in real time, just as it did the first time. If the corrected information is accurate, it is ready to proceed to the next step.

[0767] Through these steps, the system allows users to receive continuous feedback to ensure they enter the correct information, streamlining the entry process and improving accuracy.

[0771] 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.

[0772] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for transmitting the input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information, means for providing the user with the verification result, and means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the verification result. This allows the appropriateness of security information and other important information to be verified sequentially when the user registers that information, enabling accurate information input.

[0784] Specifically, we use the smartphone application "IdentitySafe." This application is implemented using Python, accepts information entered by the user, sends it to a server, and provides the user with the verification results in real time.

[0785] The server receives the information entered by the user and runs an algorithm to validate the accuracy of the information, including checking that the information is in the correct format and content. The library used is the Python requests library.

[0786] The terminal provides an interface for the user to input information and sends the input data to the server. The terminal displays the feedback received from the server in an easy-to-understand manner to the user, prompting them to make corrections as necessary. This allows the user to input accurate information while receiving successive feedback.

[0787] For example, a user might enter "password123!" in the "Password" field and then click the "Next" button. This information is immediately sent to the server, which verifies the password's security. As a result, the server might return feedback such as "Please add more special characters to your password," and the user can correct their input accordingly.

[0788] Example prompt sentence:

[0789] "Enter field name: Password"

[0790] "Please enter a password value: password123!"

[0791] In this way, the system validates the user's information input sequentially and provides feedback in real time, ensuring accurate information registration.

[0792] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0793] Step 1:

[0794] The user inputs the input information. The terminal accepts the information input by the user (for example, the field name "password" and its value "password123!"). This allows the input information to be acquired as internal data of the terminal.

[0795] Step 2:

[0796] The terminal sends the received input information to the server. Specifically, it converts the field name and its value into JSON format data and sends an HTTP request to the server. This request passes the input information to the server.

[0797] Step 3:

[0798] The server analyzes the input it receives and runs a validation algorithm (for example, the server checks the format and strength of the password). This process verifies the accuracy and consistency of the data.

[0799] Step 4:

[0800] The server generates a validation result and provides feedback based on the result, including specific instructions on what to do if the input needs to be corrected, such as "Please add more special characters to your password."

[0801] Step 5:

[0802] The server returns the generated feedback to the device as JSON-formatted data, which includes instructions for prompting the user to make corrections.

[0803] Step 6:

[0804] The device analyzes the received feedback and displays it in a way that is easy for the user to understand. Specifically, it displays a message on the screen saying, "Please add more special characters to your password." This helps the user understand what needs to be corrected.

[0805] Step 7:

[0806] The user corrects the information they entered based on the displayed feedback, re-enters the correct information into the input field, and proceeds. This process is repeated until all information is entered correctly.

[0807] 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.

[0808] ---

[0809] The present invention relates to a system that collects user input information step by step and verifies the information in real time. The present invention further provides a more effective and user-friendly interface by combining an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions.

[0810] First, the user launches a dedicated application on their device to begin registering their My Number. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, leading the user through a step-by-step process of entering the necessary information. As the user enters information, the device's camera and microphone are used to detect the user's facial expressions and voice, and an emotion engine is activated to analyze their emotions.

[0811] The terminal accepts input information, such as the user's name and address, and immediately sends it to the server. The server then validates the input information in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency. For example, it checks whether the name and address are entered in the correct format and whether all required fields are filled in. If invalid or incomplete information is found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[0812] The device receives error messages from the server and displays them in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message will be displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then make the necessary corrections based on this feedback. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again for revalidation.

[0813] Here, the role of the emotion engine, a distinctive feature of the present invention, becomes important. The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions in real time by capturing the user's facial expressions from a camera and the tone of their voice from a microphone. For example, if the user is irritated, the emotion engine will recognize this and provide feedback to the device, such as "repeat the explanation in a gentler tone." If the user is confused, the emotion engine will take appropriate measures, such as displaying additional help information.

[0814] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user is registering their My Number. While the user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro," the emotion engine monitors the user's facial expression. For example, if the user shows a confused expression, the emotion engine instructs the device to "display a message that provides detailed instructions on how to enter the information." In response to this instruction, the device displays a "Name entry guide" and provides further detailed explanations to the user.

[0815] In this way, a dialogue system that incorporates user emotions can simultaneously improve ease of use and the accuracy of information. By using an emotion engine, it is possible not only to prevent user input errors but also to improve the user experience.

[0816] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0817] ---

[0818] Step 1:

[0819] The user starts a dedicated application on the device. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, and displays an initial screen that prompts the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[0820] Step 2:

[0821] The device displays a form for the user to enter their first and last name, and begins capturing the user's facial expressions and voice in real time using the device's camera and microphone.

[0822] Step 3:

[0823] The user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" and clicks the "Next" button. This causes the entered information to be temporarily saved within the device.

[0824] Step 4:

[0825] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice and analyzes them in real time to generate emotional data about the user, such as detecting confused facial expressions and tone of voice.

[0826] Step 5:

[0827] The device sends the input information and emotion data to the server. The emotion data is sent together with the input name information.

[0828] Step 6:

[0829] The server performs extensive validation of the name information it receives, including checking that the first and last names are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers.

[0830] Step 7:

[0831] The server analyzes the emotional data and generates appropriate feedback based on the user's emotional state, for example, generating a gentle tone message if the user is annoyed.

[0832] Step 8:

[0833] The server returns a message to the terminal containing the verification result and appropriate feedback, such as an error message such as "Please make sure your first name does not contain numbers" and instructions in a user-friendly tone.

[0834] Step 9:

[0835] The device receives the response from the server and displays an error message and feedback to the user. For example, if a confused expression is detected, a "Name Input Guide" pop-up will be displayed.

[0836] Step 10:

[0837] The user corrects the input based on the error message and feedback provided and clicks the "Next" button again. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again.

[0838] Step 11:

[0839] The server will verify the information again to make sure everything is correct, and if so, will send a response back to the device saying it can continue.

[0840] Step 12:

[0841] The device will then display an address form for the next step, with fields for city, state, and street address. The camera and microphone will remain active.

[0842] Step 13:

[0843] The user enters an address and clicks the "Next" button. For example, they enter "Tokyo," "Shinjuku Ward," and "Nishi-Shinjuku 2-chome." Emotional data continues to be collected.

[0844] Step 14:

[0845] The device sends address information and current emotion data to the server.

[0846] Step 15:

[0847] The server performs detailed validation of the address information, for example, ensuring that the state is selected from a valid list and that the city and street address are in the correct format.

[0848] Step 16:

[0849] The server generates appropriate feedback based on the emotional data and sends it to the device along with the verification results.

[0850] Step 17:

[0851] The device receives the response from the server, displays an error message and feedback to the user, who then makes corrections and sends the information back to the server.

[0852] Step 18:

[0853] If all information is verified as correct, the server generates a final confirmation message and stores the original information in a database.

[0854] Step 19:

[0855] The terminal will display "Registration complete" to the user and the process will end.

[0856] Example 2

[0857] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0858] In conventional systems, it was difficult to verify and correct user input information in real time, leading to frequent user input errors and inaccurate information. Furthermore, when users became confused or frustrated, the system was unable to provide appropriate feedback, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0859] 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.

[0860] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input data from a user, means for transmitting the input data, means for verifying the transmitted input data, means for providing the user with the verification result, means for prompting the user to correct the input data based on the verification result, means for recognizing the user's emotion, and means for providing appropriate feedback based on the emotion, thereby making it possible to detect input errors made by the user in real time and provide appropriate feedback.

[0861] "User" refers to any individual or entity that utilizes this system and provides input data.

[0862] "Input data" refers to information provided by a user to the system, including, for example, personal information and address information.

[0863] "Server" refers to a device that accepts, transmits, and validates input data and provides feedback to the user.

[0864] "Emotion" refers to the psychological state of the user as recognized from facial expressions, tone of voice, etc.

[0865] "Feedback" refers to information provided by the system based on the user's input data, its validation results, or emotions.

[0866] "Means of acceptance" refers to the interface or function that the system uses to obtain input data from the user.

[0867] "Means for sending" refers to a function that allows the system to send input data acquired from the user to the server.

[0868] "Means of validation" refers to the ability of the server to check the accuracy and completeness of input data received.

[0869] "Means to provide" refers to the function by which the server communicates the verification results and feedback to the user.

[0870] "Means for prompting correction" refers to a function in which the server requests the user to correct the input data based on the validation results.

[0871] "Means of recognition" refers to the technology and functions that allow the system to sense the user's emotions using a camera or microphone.

[0872] "Means for providing appropriate feedback" refers to the system's ability to provide appropriate information to the user depending on the user's emotions and the status of the input data.

[0873] This invention relates to a system that collects and verifies input data from users in real time, recognizes their emotions, and provides appropriate feedback. The purpose of this system is to provide an interactive interface to improve the user experience.

[0874] First, the user launches a dedicated application on the device and begins the process of, for example, registering their My Number. The device is equipped with a built-in camera and microphone, which are used to capture the user's facial expressions and voice. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, allowing the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[0875] When a user enters information into required fields (e.g., name and address), the device sends the information to the server. The server validates the input data in real time, for example, ensuring that the name and address are entered in the correct format and that all required fields are filled in. If the data is incomplete, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the device.

[0876] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice tone in real time to recognize their emotions. For example, if the user is confused, the emotion engine will recognize this and issue instructions to the device, such as "display a guide that explains how to enter information in detail." This allows the user to receive specific error messages and instructions, allowing them to accurately correct their input data.

[0877] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user is registering their My Number. If the user shows a confused expression while entering "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro," the emotion engine will recognize this. The emotion engine will instruct the device to "display a message explaining in detail how to enter the information," and as a result, the message "Please enter the last name portion of the last name" will be displayed to the user. In this way, the user can enter accurate information.

[0878] Examples of prompts for generative AI models include:

[0879] "A user is entering their name into the My Number registration system. If they show a confused expression while entering their name, please have the emotion engine recognize this confusion and instruct the device to display a guide detailing how to enter their name. Please also provide specific examples of messages."

[0880] As described above, this system ensures the accuracy of user input data and improves the user experience. The feedback function using the emotion engine reduces the psychological burden on the user and enables smooth data entry.

[0881] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0882] Step 1:

[0883] The user starts the dedicated application on the device and begins registering their My Number. When the user presses the start button, the application launches and the initial screen is displayed. Input: User operation, Output: Application startup

[0884] Step 2:

[0885] The terminal displays an interactive wizard-style screen, prompting the user step-by-step for the necessary input data (e.g., name and address). The terminal waits for data to be entered in each field. Input: Information entered by the user, Output: Wizard-style screen

[0886] Step 3:

[0887] The device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and sends them to the emotion engine. Input: Data from the camera and microphone, Output: Data sent to the emotion engine

[0888] Step 4:

[0889] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions in real time based on the input facial and voice data. Input: Data from the camera and microphone, Output: User's emotional state

[0890] Step 5:

[0891] Once the user has entered all the required information, the terminal sends the input data to the server. Input: User input data, Output: Data transmission to the server

[0892] Step 6:

[0893] The server validates the received input data in real time, checking for format conformance and required fields. Input: Submitted input data, Output: Generates validation results.

[0894] Step 7:

[0895] The server generates an error message based on the verification result if any defects are found and sends it to the terminal. Input: Verification result, Output: Generation and transmission of error message

[0896] Step 8:

[0897] The terminal receives the error message sent from the server and displays it in an easy-to-understand manner for the user. Input: Error message, Output: Display of error message to the user

[0898] Step 9:

[0899] The user makes the necessary corrections based on the error message and re-enters the data into the terminal. Input: Error message, Output: Corrected input data

[0900] Step 10:

[0901] The terminal sends the corrected input data to the server again and requests re-verification. Input: Corrected input data, Output: Retransmission to server

[0902] Step 11:

[0903] The server re-verifies the re-transmitted data, and if any defects are resolved, approves it and sends an approval notice to the user. Input: Re-transmitted input data, Output: Approval notice

[0904] Step 12:

[0905] The emotion engine continuously monitors the user's emotional state and provides appropriate feedback to the device as needed. For example, if the user is confused, it displays a guide to prompt for further explanation. Input: User's emotional data, Output: Providing feedback

[0906] The above is a detailed explanation of the program processing of this system.

[0907] (Application example 2)

[0908] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0909] Conventional electronic payment services lack a mechanism for verifying the accuracy of user-entered information in real time, and there are insufficient means for users to correct incorrect information on the spot. Furthermore, there is no feedback that takes into account the user's emotions, often resulting in a poor user experience. Providing appropriate support for users who feel frustrated or confused when entering information is a particular challenge.

[0910] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0911] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for transmitting the input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information, means for providing the user with the verification result, means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the verification result, means including an emotion engine for analyzing the user's emotions, and means for providing the user with appropriate feedback based on the emotion analysis result by the emotion engine. This makes it possible to verify and correct the user's input information in real time and to provide appropriate feedback that takes the user's emotions into consideration.

[0912] "User" refers to a person who operates a system, generally a user of a service.

[0913] "Input information" refers to information provided by a user to the system, and specific examples include name, address, and payment information.

[0914] "Means for sending" refers to the method or mechanism for sending the information entered by the user to the server.

[0915] "Means for validating" refers to a method or mechanism for checking the accuracy and consistency of input information submitted to the server.

[0916] "Means of providing" refers to the method or mechanism for communicating the verification results to the user.

[0917] "Means for prompting corrections" refers to a method or mechanism for prompting the user to make necessary corrections based on the verification results.

[0918] "Emotion engine" refers to a software or hardware mechanism for analyzing a user's emotions and providing feedback based on the results.

[0919] The "means for providing feedback" refers to a method or mechanism for providing appropriate advice or information to the user based on the analysis results of the emotion engine.

[0920] The term "system" refers to the entire device or software that combines the above-mentioned means to execute a series of processes in which the user inputs information, verifies that information in real time, prompts corrections as necessary, and provides feedback corresponding to the user's emotions.

[0921] The present invention includes a system that collects user input information in stages and verifies the information in real time, as well as an emotion engine that recognizes and analyzes the user's emotions and provides feedback. Specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0922] System Configuration

[0923] The system consists of a terminal used by the user, a server, and an emotion engine. Each part of the system functions as follows:

[0924] Terminal

[0925] The user starts a dedicated application using a device such as a smartphone and enters credit card information and other payment information step by step. The device is equipped with a means for accepting input information and a means for transmitting the input information to a server. The device is also equipped with a camera and microphone to detect the user's facial expressions and voice.

[0926] server

[0927] The server has a means to verify input information sent from the terminal in real time. Specifically, it has the following functions:

[0928] Verify the accuracy (consistency, validity) of input information

[0929] Generating validation results

[0930] A means of providing verification results to the terminal

[0931] If the input information is incomplete, the server generates a detailed error message and sends it back to the terminal, which is displayed to the user in a visually understandable format.

[0932] Emotion Engine

[0933] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to recognize emotions in real time. For example, it uses OpenCV to process image data acquired from a camera and analyzes specific tones in the voice to determine whether the user is irritated or confused. Based on the results of this emotion analysis, it generates appropriate feedback (such as a gentle explanation or detailed help information).

[0934] Examples of usage

[0935] Consider a case where a user enters credit card information using a smartphone. As the user enters the "card number," "expiration date," and "CVV" step by step, the terminal immediately sends the information to the server. The server performs verification, and if, for example, the card number is not entered in the correct format, it generates an error message saying "Please enter the card number correctly" and sends it back to the terminal.

[0936] Additionally, if the user shows a confused expression while entering text, the emotion engine will recognize this and instruct the device to provide specific feedback, such as "display input guide." The device will then immediately display additional help information, allowing the user to continue entering text smoothly.

[0937] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0938] Below are some examples of prompts for using generative AI models:

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.

[0987] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the headset type terminal 314.

[0988] [Fourth embodiment]

[0989] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0990] 7, a data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0991] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 is an example of a "computer" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0992] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0993] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user 20 by receiving voice uttered by the user 20. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user 20, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio in accordance with instructions from the processor 46.

[0994] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the surroundings of user 20 (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0995] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0996] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors for driving the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0997] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0998] The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0999] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290.

[1000] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the reception output process. A reception output program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the reception output program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read reception output program 60 on the RAM 48. The reception output process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the reception output program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[1001] Next, a description will be given of the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. 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."

[1002] ---

[1003] The present invention relates to an interactive system that collects user-entered information in a step-by-step manner, validates the information in real time, and provides feedback, minimizing the possibility of user input errors and ensuring accurate data entry.

[1004] First, the user launches a dedicated application on their device to begin registering their My Number. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, prompting the user to enter the necessary information step by step. The information entered at each step is accepted by the device and immediately sent to the server.

[1005] The server validates the input information it receives in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency, for example, whether information such as name and address is entered in the correct format, whether all required fields are filled in, etc. If invalid or incomplete information is found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[1006] The device receives error messages from the server and displays them in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message will be displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then use this feedback to make any necessary corrections. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent back to the server for revalidation. This process is repeated until all information has been entered correctly.

[1007] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user registers their My Number. The user launches an application and enters their "last name" and "first name." They enter "Yamada" for "last name" and "Taro" for "first name," and click "Next." This information is sent by the terminal to the server, which checks that the "last name" and "first name" fields are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers. If any errors are found, for example, if the "first name" contains numbers, the server sends an error message back to the terminal saying, "Please do not include numbers in your first name." The user corrects the input based on the error message and submits the information again.

[1008] This interactive system allows users to receive continuous feedback and ensure correct information is entered, reducing human error in the My Number and personal information registration process and achieving highly reliable data collection.

[1009] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1010] ---

[1011] Step 1:

[1012] The user launches a dedicated application on the device. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, and displays an initial screen that prompts the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[1013] Step 2:

[1014] The terminal displays a form on the screen for inputting "first name" and "last name." For example, it displays a message prompting the user to first input "last name," and provides an input field.

[1015] Step 3:

[1016] The user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" and clicks the "Next" button, thereby finalizing the input information.

[1017] Step 4:

[1018] The device temporarily stores the information entered and performs basic checks to ensure that the contents of the input fields are in the correct format, such as ensuring that the fields are not blank and that they contain the correct number of characters.

[1019] Step 5:

[1020] After the device passes the basic check, it sends the entered information to the server. For example, it sends the data "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" in JSON format to the server.

[1021] Step 6:

[1022] The server performs extensive validation of the name information it receives, specifically by programmatically checking that the "first name" and "last name" are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers.

[1023] Step 7:

[1024] The server generates the validation result and creates an error message if necessary. For example, if "First name" is blank, it generates the message "Please enter your first name."

[1025] Step 8:

[1026] The server returns the verification result and an error message to the terminal. For example, if the verification is successful, it sends a success message, otherwise it sends an error message.

[1027] Step 9:

[1028] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays an error message to the user, for example, "First name should not contain numbers."

[1029] Step 10:

[1030] The user corrects the input based on the error message and clicks the "Next" button again. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again.

[1031] Step 11:

[1032] The server will verify the information again to make sure everything is correct, and if so, will send a response back to the device saying it can continue.

[1033] Step 12:

[1034] The next step is for the device to display an address form, with fields for "city, state, town, or village," and "address."

[1035] Step 13:

[1036] The user enters an address and clicks the "Next" button. For example, the user enters "Tokyo", "Shinjuku-ku", and "Nishi-Shinjuku 2-chome".

[1037] Step 14:

[1038] The device temporarily stores the address information, performs basic formatting checks, and then sends the information to the server.

[1039] Step 15:

[1040] The server receives the address information and performs further validation, ensuring that the "state" is selected from a valid list and that the "city" and "street" are in the correct format.

[1041] Step 16:

[1042] The server generates the verification result and, if necessary, creates an error message and sends it to the terminal.

[1043] Step 17:

[1044] The terminal receives the response from the server and displays an error message to the user, who then makes corrections and sends the information back to the server.

[1045] Step 18:

[1046] If all information is verified as correct, the server generates a final confirmation message and stores the original information in a database.

[1047] Step 19:

[1048] The terminal will display "Registration complete" to the user and the process will end.

[1049] Example 1

[1050] 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 robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1051] In conventional data entry systems, when a user enters incorrect information, feedback on the error is often delayed. This often requires the user to repeat the input multiple times, making the input process cumbersome and time-consuming. Another issue is that verified information is not properly fed back, making it difficult for users to know which parts need to be corrected. Accuracy is particularly important when collecting important personal information, so a system that can collect information efficiently and accurately was needed.

[1052] 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.

[1053] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for gradually collecting the input information, means for transmitting the collected input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information in real time, means for providing the verification result to the user, and means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the provided verification result. This allows the information entered by the user to be immediately verified and feedback to be provided in real time, enabling the user to efficiently input accurate data.

[1054] A "user" is an entity that utilizes the system to input data and receive feedback.

[1055] "Input information" refers to data that a user inputs into the system, and may include name information and address information.

[1056] "Incremental collection means" is a system function that collects information entered by the user piecemeal as needed.

[1057] "Transmitting means" refers to the system's function for transferring information entered by the user to the server.

[1058] "Real-time validation means" refers to the ability of the server to instantly analyze input information received and check its accuracy and consistency.

[1059] The "means for providing the verification result to the user" is a system function in which the server sends the verification result to the terminal and displays it to the user.

[1060] "Means for prompting correction of input information" refers to a system function for assisting the user in re-entering accurate data.

[1061] The present invention relates to an interactive system that collects user-entered information in a step-by-step manner, validates the information in real time, and provides feedback, minimizing the possibility of user input errors and ensuring accurate data entry.

[1062] In this embodiment of the system, a user first launches a dedicated application on a terminal, such as a PC, tablet, or smartphone. This application is designed in an interactive wizard format, prompting the user to input the necessary information step by step. The information input at each step is accepted by the terminal and immediately sent to the server.

[1063] The server, which can be a cloud server or an on-premise server, validates the input information it receives in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency. For example, it checks whether information such as name and address is entered in the correct format and whether all required fields are filled in. If invalid information or deficiencies are found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[1064] The terminal receives the error message and displays it in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message is displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then use this feedback to make any necessary corrections. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent back to the server for revalidation. This process is repeated until all information has been entered correctly.

[1065] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user registers their My Number. The user launches an application and enters their "last name" and "first name." They enter "Yamada" for "last name" and "Taro" for "first name," and click "Next." This information is sent by the terminal to the server, which checks that the "last name" and "first name" fields are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers. If any errors are found, for example, if the "first name" contains numbers, the server sends an error message back to the terminal saying, "Please do not include numbers in your first name." The user corrects the input based on the error message and submits the information again.

[1066] This interactive system allows users to receive continuous feedback and ensure correct information is entered, reducing human error in the My Number and personal information registration process and achieving highly reliable data collection.

[1067] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is as follows:

[1068] "Write a scenario in the interactive My Number registration system where a user makes a specific format error in their first name (the first name contains a number) and then corrects it. First, the user starts the app, enters 'Yamada123' as their first name, and clicks Next. The server receives this input, generates an error message telling the user not to include numbers in their first name, and gives feedback to the user. Show the flow of the process where the user corrects their first name to 'Yamada' and submits the form again."

[1069] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1070] Step 1:

[1071] The user launches a dedicated application. The user selects and taps or clicks the dedicated application icon from the desktop or app menu on their PC, tablet, or smartphone. The application displays a login screen to the user, and the user enters their login information. The entered login information is sent from the device to the server. The server verifies the login information and, if correct, starts a session.

[1072] Step 2:

[1073] The user enters the input information step by step. The user follows the instructions on the application screen and enters personal information such as name, address, etc. After each field is entered, the device encrypts the information and sends it to the server.

[1074] Step 3:

[1075] The terminal sends the input information to the server. The terminal sends the information for each field entered by the user to the server in a specific format. The information sent includes the user's session ID and timestamp.

[1076] Step 4:

[1077] The server validates the incoming information in real time. The server checks the received data against a database to check for accuracy and consistency. For example, it verifies that the entered name complies with the field rules, or that the address exists. Regular expressions and database queries are used for validation.

[1078] Step 5:

[1079] The server generates the validation results. The server generates error and warning messages based on the validation results. These messages indicate the specific fields and problems that exist. The generated messages are saved together with the user's session information and sent to the terminal.

[1080] Step 6:

[1081] The server sends the feedback to the terminal. The server sends the feedback message generated in the previous step to the user's terminal. The message is encrypted and transmitted securely.

[1082] Step 7:

[1083] The terminal displays the feedback to the user. The terminal interprets the feedback message received from the server and displays it in a format that is easy for the user to understand. If there is an error message, it displays the error message near the relevant input field and prompts the user to correct it.

[1084] Step 8:

[1085] The user corrects the input. Based on the error message displayed, the user corrects the information in the relevant field. For example, they replace the incorrect information with the correct information. After correcting the information, the user taps or clicks the "Next" button again.

[1086] Step 9:

[1087] The device sends the information to the server again. Any information modified by the user is sent from the device to the server again. At this time, the resent information is also encrypted and transferred securely.

[1088] Step 10:

[1089] The server performs a re-verification. The server verifies the re-submitted data in real time, just as it did the first time. If the corrected information is accurate, it is ready to proceed to the next step.

[1090] Through these steps, the system allows users to receive continuous feedback to ensure they enter the correct information, streamlining the entry process and improving accuracy.

[1091] (Application example 1)

[1092] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1093] The present invention aims to solve the problem of secure and accurate information collection by providing a mechanism to prevent users from entering incorrect or incomplete information when registering important security information. In particular, the invention aims to minimize input errors by providing real-time feedback and sequential validation of information entered by users.

[1094] 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.

[1095] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for transmitting the input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information, means for providing the user with the verification result, and means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the verification result. This allows the appropriateness of security information and other important information to be verified sequentially when the user registers that information, enabling accurate information input.

[1096] A "user" is a person or entity that accesses and inputs information into the system.

[1097] "Input information" refers to the data and content provided by the user through the system.

[1098] "Means for receiving" refers to an interface or device for acquiring and processing input information from a user.

[1099] "Transmitting means" refers to a communication function or protocol for transmitting input information received from a user to a server or other device.

[1100] "Verification measures" refers to the processes or algorithms used to check whether input information is accurate, consistent, etc.

[1101] The "means for providing" refers to a method or device for notifying the user of the verification result as feedback.

[1102] "Means to encourage correction" refers to features or messages that guide users to correct incorrect information.

[1103] "Security Information" refers to sensitive data related to a user's personal security or authentication, such as passwords, identification numbers, etc.

[1104] "Sequential verification methods" refer to algorithms or systems that step by step check the information entered by the user and update the results each time.

[1105] "Feedback" refers to information or instructions provided to the user based on the verification results.

[1106] The present invention relates to a system that validates critical security information as it is entered by a user and provides real-time feedback to help ensure accurate information entry and minimize errors.

[1107] Specifically, we use the smartphone application "IdentitySafe." This application is implemented using Python, accepts information entered by the user, sends it to a server, and provides the user with the verification results in real time.

[1108] The server receives the information entered by the user and runs an algorithm to validate the accuracy of the information, including checking that the information is in the correct format and content. The library used is the Python requests library.

[1109] The terminal provides an interface for the user to input information and sends the input data to the server. The terminal displays the feedback received from the server in an easy-to-understand manner to the user, prompting them to make corrections as necessary. This allows the user to input accurate information while receiving successive feedback.

[1110] For example, a user might enter "password123!" in the "Password" field and then click the "Next" button. This information is immediately sent to the server, which verifies the password's security. As a result, the server might return feedback such as "Please add more special characters to your password," and the user can correct their input accordingly.

[1111] Example prompt sentence:

[1112] "Enter field name: Password"

[1113] "Please enter a password value: password123!"

[1114] In this way, the system validates the user's information input sequentially and provides feedback in real time, ensuring accurate information registration.

[1115] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1116] Step 1:

[1117] The user inputs the input information. The terminal accepts the information input by the user (for example, the field name "password" and its value "password123!"). This allows the input information to be acquired as internal data of the terminal.

[1118] Step 2:

[1119] The terminal sends the received input information to the server. Specifically, it converts the field name and its value into JSON format data and sends an HTTP request to the server. This request passes the input information to the server.

[1120] Step 3:

[1121] The server analyzes the input it receives and runs a validation algorithm (for example, the server checks the format and strength of the password). This process verifies the accuracy and consistency of the data.

[1122] Step 4:

[1123] The server generates a validation result and provides feedback based on the result, including specific instructions on what to do if the input needs to be corrected, such as "Please add more special characters to your password."

[1124] Step 5:

[1125] The server returns the generated feedback to the device as JSON-formatted data, which includes instructions for prompting the user to make corrections.

[1126] Step 6:

[1127] The device analyzes the received feedback and displays it in a way that is easy for the user to understand. Specifically, it displays a message on the screen saying, "Please add more special characters to your password." This helps the user understand what needs to be corrected.

[1128] Step 7:

[1129] The user corrects the information they entered based on the displayed feedback, re-enters the correct information into the input field, and proceeds. This process is repeated until all information is entered correctly.

[1130] 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.

[1131] ---

[1132] The present invention relates to a system that collects user input information step by step and verifies the information in real time. The present invention further provides a more effective and user-friendly interface by combining an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions.

[1133] First, the user launches a dedicated application on their device to begin registering their My Number. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, leading the user through a step-by-step process of entering the necessary information. As the user enters information, the device's camera and microphone are used to detect the user's facial expressions and voice, and an emotion engine is activated to analyze their emotions.

[1134] The terminal accepts input information, such as the user's name and address, and immediately sends it to the server. The server then validates the input information in real time to ensure accuracy and consistency. For example, it checks whether the name and address are entered in the correct format and whether all required fields are filled in. If invalid or incomplete information is found, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the terminal.

[1135] The device receives error messages from the server and displays them in a user-friendly way. For example, if the "Last Name" field is blank, a specific message will be displayed: "Please enter your last name." The user can then make the necessary corrections based on this feedback. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again for revalidation.

[1136] Here, the role of the emotion engine, a distinctive feature of the present invention, becomes important. The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions in real time by capturing the user's facial expressions from a camera and the tone of their voice from a microphone. For example, if the user is irritated, the emotion engine will recognize this and provide feedback to the device, such as "repeat the explanation in a gentler tone." If the user is confused, the emotion engine will take appropriate measures, such as displaying additional help information.

[1137] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user is registering their My Number. While the user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro," the emotion engine monitors the user's facial expression. For example, if the user shows a confused expression, the emotion engine instructs the device to "display a message that provides detailed instructions on how to enter the information." In response to this instruction, the device displays a "Name entry guide" and provides further detailed explanations to the user.

[1138] In this way, a dialogue system that incorporates user emotions can simultaneously improve ease of use and the accuracy of information. By using an emotion engine, it is possible not only to prevent user input errors but also to improve the user experience.

[1139] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1140] ---

[1141] Step 1:

[1142] The user starts a dedicated application on the device. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, and displays an initial screen that prompts the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[1143] Step 2:

[1144] The device displays a form for the user to enter their first and last name, and begins capturing the user's facial expressions and voice in real time using the device's camera and microphone.

[1145] Step 3:

[1146] The user enters "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro" and clicks the "Next" button. This causes the entered information to be temporarily saved within the device.

[1147] Step 4:

[1148] The device captures the user's facial expressions and voice and analyzes them in real time to generate emotional data about the user, such as detecting confused facial expressions and tone of voice.

[1149] Step 5:

[1150] The device sends the input information and emotion data to the server. The emotion data is sent together with the input name information.

[1151] Step 6:

[1152] The server performs extensive validation of the name information it receives, including checking that the first and last names are not blank and do not contain special characters or numbers.

[1153] Step 7:

[1154] The server analyzes the emotional data and generates appropriate feedback based on the user's emotional state, for example, generating a gentle tone message if the user is annoyed.

[1155] Step 8:

[1156] The server returns a message to the terminal containing the verification result and appropriate feedback, such as an error message such as "Please make sure your first name does not contain numbers" and instructions in a user-friendly tone.

[1157] Step 9:

[1158] The device receives the response from the server and displays an error message and feedback to the user. For example, if a confused expression is detected, a "Name Input Guide" pop-up will be displayed.

[1159] Step 10:

[1160] The user corrects the input based on the error message and feedback provided and clicks the "Next" button again. Once the corrections are complete, the information is sent to the server again.

[1161] Step 11:

[1162] The server will verify the information again to make sure everything is correct, and if so, will send a response back to the device saying it can continue.

[1163] Step 12:

[1164] The device will then display an address form for the next step, with fields for city, state, and street address. The camera and microphone will remain active.

[1165] Step 13:

[1166] The user enters an address and clicks the "Next" button. For example, they enter "Tokyo," "Shinjuku Ward," and "Nishi-Shinjuku 2-chome." Emotional data continues to be collected.

[1167] Step 14:

[1168] The device sends address information and current emotion data to the server.

[1169] Step 15:

[1170] The server performs detailed validation of the address information, for example, ensuring that the state is selected from a valid list and that the city and street address are in the correct format.

[1171] Step 16:

[1172] The server generates appropriate feedback based on the emotional data and sends it to the device along with the verification results.

[1173] Step 17:

[1174] The device receives the response from the server, displays an error message and feedback to the user, who then makes corrections and sends the information back to the server.

[1175] Step 18:

[1176] If all information is verified as correct, the server generates a final confirmation message and stores the original information in a database.

[1177] Step 19:

[1178] The terminal will display "Registration complete" to the user and the process will end.

[1179] Example 2

[1180] 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."

[1181] In conventional systems, it was difficult to verify and correct user input information in real time, leading to frequent user input errors and inaccurate information. Furthermore, when users became confused or frustrated, the system was unable to provide appropriate feedback, resulting in a poor user experience.

[1182] 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.

[1183] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input data from a user, means for transmitting the input data, means for verifying the transmitted input data, means for providing the user with the verification result, means for prompting the user to correct the input data based on the verification result, means for recognizing the user's emotion, and means for providing appropriate feedback based on the emotion, thereby making it possible to detect input errors made by the user in real time and provide appropriate feedback.

[1184] "User" refers to any individual or entity that utilizes this system and provides input data.

[1185] "Input data" refers to information provided by a user to the system, including, for example, personal information and address information.

[1186] "Server" refers to a device that accepts, transmits, and validates input data and provides feedback to the user.

[1187] "Emotion" refers to the psychological state of the user as recognized from facial expressions, tone of voice, etc.

[1188] "Feedback" refers to information provided by the system based on the user's input data, its validation results, or emotions.

[1189] "Means of acceptance" refers to the interface or function that the system uses to obtain input data from the user.

[1190] "Means for sending" refers to a function that allows the system to send input data acquired from the user to the server.

[1191] "Means of validation" refers to the ability of the server to check the accuracy and completeness of input data received.

[1192] "Means to provide" refers to the function by which the server communicates the verification results and feedback to the user.

[1193] "Means for prompting correction" refers to a function in which the server requests the user to correct the input data based on the validation results.

[1194] "Means of recognition" refers to the technology and functions that allow the system to sense the user's emotions using a camera or microphone.

[1195] "Means for providing appropriate feedback" refers to the system's ability to provide appropriate information to the user depending on the user's emotions and the status of the input data.

[1196] This invention relates to a system that collects and verifies input data from users in real time, recognizes their emotions, and provides appropriate feedback. The purpose of this system is to provide an interactive interface to improve the user experience.

[1197] First, the user launches a dedicated application on the device and begins the process of, for example, registering their My Number. The device is equipped with a built-in camera and microphone, which are used to capture the user's facial expressions and voice. The application is designed in an interactive wizard format, allowing the user to enter the necessary information step by step.

[1198] When a user enters information into required fields (e.g., name and address), the device sends the information to the server. The server validates the input data in real time, for example, ensuring that the name and address are entered in the correct format and that all required fields are filled in. If the data is incomplete, the server immediately generates an error message and sends it back to the device.

[1199] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice tone in real time to recognize their emotions. For example, if the user is confused, the emotion engine will recognize this and issue instructions to the device, such as "display a guide that explains how to enter information in detail." This allows the user to receive specific error messages and instructions, allowing them to accurately correct their input data.

[1200] As a concrete example, consider the case where a user is registering their My Number. If the user shows a confused expression while entering "Last name: Yamada" and "First name: Taro," the emotion engine will recognize this. The emotion engine will instruct the device to "display a message explaining in detail how to enter the information," and as a result, the message "Please enter the last name portion of the last name" will be displayed to the user. In this way, the user can enter accurate information.

[1201] Examples of prompts for generative AI models include:

[1202] "A user is entering their name into the My Number registration system. If they show a confused expression while entering their name, please have the emotion engine recognize this confusion and instruct the device to display a guide detailing how to enter their name. Please also provide specific examples of messages."

[1203] As described above, this system ensures the accuracy of user input data and improves the user experience. The feedback function using the emotion engine reduces the psychological burden on the user and enables smooth data entry.

[1204] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1205] Step 1:

[1206] The user starts the dedicated application on the device and begins registering their My Number. When the user presses the start button, the application launches and the initial screen is displayed. Input: User operation, Output: Application startup

[1207] Step 2:

[1208] The terminal displays an interactive wizard-style screen, prompting the user step-by-step for the necessary input data (e.g., name and address). The terminal waits for data to be entered in each field. Input: Information entered by the user, Output: Wizard-style screen

[1209] Step 3:

[1210] The device uses a camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and sends them to the emotion engine. Input: Data from the camera and microphone, Output: Data sent to the emotion engine

[1211] Step 4:

[1212] The emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions in real time based on the input facial and voice data. Input: Data from the camera and microphone, Output: User's emotional state

[1213] Step 5:

[1214] Once the user has entered all the required information, the terminal sends the input data to the server. Input: User input data, Output: Data transmission to the server

[1215] Step 6:

[1216] The server validates the received input data in real time, checking for format conformance and required fields. Input: Submitted input data, Output: Generates validation results.

[1217] Step 7:

[1218] The server generates an error message based on the verification result if any defects are found and sends it to the terminal. Input: Verification result, Output: Generation and transmission of error message

[1219] Step 8:

[1220] The terminal receives the error message sent from the server and displays it in an easy-to-understand manner for the user. Input: Error message, Output: Display of error message to the user

[1221] Step 9:

[1222] The user makes the necessary corrections based on the error message and re-enters the data into the terminal. Input: Error message, Output: Corrected input data

[1223] Step 10:

[1224] The terminal sends the corrected input data to the server again and requests re-verification. Input: Corrected input data, Output: Retransmission to server

[1225] Step 11:

[1226] The server re-verifies the re-transmitted data, and if any defects are resolved, approves it and sends an approval notice to the user. Input: Re-transmitted input data, Output: Approval notice

[1227] Step 12:

[1228] The emotion engine continuously monitors the user's emotional state and provides appropriate feedback to the device as needed. For example, if the user is confused, it displays a guide to prompt for further explanation. Input: User's emotional data, Output: Providing feedback

[1229] The above is a detailed explanation of the program processing of this system.

[1230] (Application example 2)

[1231] 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."

[1232] Conventional electronic payment services lack a mechanism for verifying the accuracy of user-entered information in real time, and there are insufficient means for users to correct incorrect information on the spot. Furthermore, there is no feedback that takes into account the user's emotions, often resulting in a poor user experience. Providing appropriate support for users who feel frustrated or confused when entering information is a particular challenge.

[1233] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1234] In this invention, the server includes means for accepting input information from a user, means for transmitting the input information, means for verifying the transmitted input information, means for providing the user with the verification result, means for prompting the user to correct the input information based on the verification result, means including an emotion engine for analyzing the user's emotions, and means for providing the user with appropriate feedback based on the emotion analysis result by the emotion engine. This makes it possible to verify and correct the user's input information in real time and to provide appropriate feedback that takes the user's emotions into consideration.

[1235] "User" refers to a person who operates a system, generally a user of a service.

[1236] "Input information" refers to information provided by a user to the system, and specific examples include name, address, and payment information.

[1237] "Means for sending" refers to the method or mechanism for sending the information entered by the user to the server.

[1238] "Means for validating" refers to a method or mechanism for checking the accuracy and consistency of input information submitted to the server.

[1239] "Means of providing" refers to the method or mechanism for communicating the verification results to the user.

[1240] "Means for prompting corrections" refers to a method or mechanism for prompting the user to make necessary corrections based on the verification results.

[1241] "Emotion engine" refers to a software or hardware mechanism for analyzing a user's emotions and providing feedback based on the results.

[1242] The "means for providing feedback" refers to a method or mechanism for providing appropriate advice or information to the user based on the analysis results of the emotion engine.

[1243] The term "system" refers to the entire device or software that combines the above-mentioned means to execute a series of processes in which the user inputs information, verifies that information in real time, prompts corrections as necessary, and provides feedback corresponding to the user's emotions.

[1244] The present invention includes a system that collects user input information in stages and verifies the information in real time, as well as an emotion engine that recognizes and analyzes the user's emotions and provides feedback. Specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[1245] System Configuration

[1246] The system consists of a terminal used by the user, a server, and an emotion engine. Each part of the system functions as follows:

[1247] Terminal

[1248] The user starts a dedicated application using a device such as a smartphone and enters credit card information and other payment information step by step. The device is equipped with a means for accepting input information and a means for transmitting the input information to a server. The device is also equipped with a camera and microphone to detect the user's facial expressions and voice.

[1249] server

[1250] The server has a means to verify input information sent from the terminal in real time. Specifically, it has the following functions:

[1251] Verify the accuracy (consistency, validity) of input information

[1252] Generating validation results

[1253] A means of providing verification results to the terminal

[1254] If the input information is incomplete, the server generates a detailed error message and sends it back to the terminal, which is displayed to the user in a visually understandable format.

[1255] Emotion Engine

[1256] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to recognize emotions in real time. For example, it uses OpenCV to process image data acquired from a camera and analyzes specific tones in the voice to determine whether the user is irritated or confused. Based on the results of this emotion analysis, it generates appropriate feedback (such as a gentle explanation or detailed help information).

[1257] Examples of usage

[1258] Consider a case where a user enters credit card information using a smartphone. As the user enters the "card number," "expiration date," and "CVV" step by step, the terminal immediately sends the information to the server. The server performs verification, and if, for example, the card number is not entered in the correct format, it generates an error message saying "Please enter the card number correctly" and sends it back to the terminal.

[1259] Additionally, if the user shows a confused expression while entering text, the emotion engine will recognize this and instruct the device to provide specific feedback, such as "display input guide." The device will then immediately display additional help information, allowing the user to continue entering text smoothly.

[1260] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1261] Below are some examples of prompts for using generative AI models:

[1262] Generate a program that analyzes the user's emotions and provides feedback that displays gentle explanations and additional help information if it detects frustration or confusion.

[1263] In this way, the present invention not only improves the accuracy of user input information, but also significantly improves the user experience by combining it with an emotion engine.

[1264] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1265] Step 1:

[1306] Input: The user reviews the provided feedback message and makes any necessary corrections.

[1307] Output: The corrected information is re-entered and the process is repeated.

[1308] 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.

[1309] 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.

[1310] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.

[1311] 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.

[1312] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and actions arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.

[1313] 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.

[1314] 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).

[1315] 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.

[1316] 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."

[1317] 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.

[1318] 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).

[1319] 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.

[1320] 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.

[1321] 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.

[1322] 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.

[1323] 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.

[1324] 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.

[1325] 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.

[1326] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
