[0040] 1. Overview
[0041] This invention is a system for sharing thoughts and feelings between users to deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The aim is to reduce misunderstandings and conflicts by allowing users to input their feelings and text, and then appropriately convey the analyzed data to other users. The system is provided as a cloud-based platform and can be accessed through software.
[0042] 2. System Configuration
[0043] The system is mainly composed of three main components: a user terminal, a server, and a database. The user terminal has input and receiving means, the server is responsible for analysis and message generation, and the database is responsible for storing analysis results and past interactions.
[0044] 3. Program Processing
[0045] The user enters emotions and text on the device
[0046] Users have a dedicated interface for inputting their own emotions and thoughts. Emotion options include "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and they can enter any sentence they like in the text input field. For example, they can enter, "Something very sad happened today."
[0047] Example: User (entered on the terminal)
[0048] Emotion selection: "Sadness"
[0049] Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[0050] The device sends the input data to the server
[0051] The emotion and text data entered by the user is encrypted and sent to the server using security protocols such as SSL / TLS.
[0052] Example: Terminal (data transmission)
[0053] encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[0054] Server (data reception)
[0055] decrypt(encrypted_data)
[0056] The server analyzes the received data
[0057] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. For example, it can detect a strong emotion of "sadness" from the user's text. The analysis results are stored in a database and compared with past data.
[0058] Example: Server (analysis)
[0059] emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[0060] Server (storing analysis results)
[0061] Database.save(user_id, emotion_analysis)
[0062] The server generates the appropriate message
[0063] Based on the analysis results, appropriate feedback messages and notification messages are generated for the user, such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[0064] Example: Server (message generation)
[0065] message = "My friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him."
[0066] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[0067] The generated message will be sent to the selected user's device via push notification, email, or other method of their choice.
[0068] Example: Server (data transmission)
[0069] send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[0070] Terminal (data reception)
[0071] display_notification(message)
[0072] The shared user receives the message and responds.
[0073] The receiving user can read the notification and send an appropriate response, which is then sent back to the server and displayed to the original user.
[0074] Example: Another user (entered in the terminal)
[0075] response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better."
[0076] Terminal (data transmission)
[0077] encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[0078] Server (data reception & analysis)
[0079] decrypt(encrypted_response)
[0080] The original user receives feedback
[0081] The original user can read the response and provide further feedback, which is then passed back to the server and communicated to other users as needed.
[0082] Example: Original user (displayed on terminal)
[0083] display_response(response_message)
[0084] Original user (entered on the terminal)
[0085] additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[0086] Terminal (data transmission)
[0087] send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[0088] 4. Specific examples of implementation
[0089] For example, user A enters, "Something very sad happened today." This data is encrypted and sent to the server, where the emotion "sadness" is analyzed using natural language processing. The server then generates a message saying, "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him / her," and notifies user B. User B receives the notification and responds, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better." This response message is then sent back through the server and displayed to user A. This process allows users A and B to share their emotions at a deep level.
[0090] As described above, this system provides a means for users to effectively share their feelings and thoughts, promoting mutual understanding and empathy.
[0091] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0092] Step 1:
[0093] User enters emotion and text
[0094] The user inputs emotions and text into the interface that opens using the device. Emotions can be selected from options such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and thoughts and feelings can be freely entered into the text input field. For example, the user can input "Something very sad happened today."
[0095] User (typed on device): Emotion selection: "Sadness" Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[0096] Step 2:
[0097] The device sends the input data to the server
[0098] The entered emotion and text data are encrypted on the device and sent to the server using a network protocol (e.g., SSL / TLS).
[0099] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[0100] Server (receiving data): decrypt(encrypted_data)
[0101] Step 3:
[0102] The server analyzes the received data
[0103] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. The analysis engine extracts the level and type of emotion from the text and summarizes the results. For example, it may be analyzed that "sadness" is particularly strong. The analysis results are stored in a database.
[0104] Server(analysis): emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[0105] Server (saving analysis results): Database.save(user_id, emotion_analysis)
[0106] Step 4:
[0107] The server generates the appropriate message
[0108] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a default or customized feedback message, along with a notification message to share with other users. For example, a message like "My friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[0109] Server (Message generation): message = generateMessage(emotion_analysis)
[0110] Step 5:
[0111] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[0112] The generated messages and notifications are sent to other selected users via push notifications, email, or other methods depending on the user's settings.
[0113] Server (data sending): send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[0114] Device (receiving data): display_notification(message)
[0115] Step 6:
[0116] The person you shared with will receive the message
[0117] The receiving user reads the notification and, if necessary, prepares a reply message, which is sent again to the server and delivered to the original user.
[0118] Another user (typed on device): response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and clear things up."
[0119] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[0120] Server (receiving and analyzing data): decrypt(encrypted_response)
[0121] Step 7:
[0122] The original user receives feedback
[0123] The original user can read the response from the other user and provide further feedback, which will be resubmitted and notified to other users if necessary.
[0124] Original user (displayed on terminal): display_response(response_message)
[0125] Original user (typed on device): additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[0126] Terminal (data transmission): send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[0127] summary
[0128] Through these steps, the system allows users to share their thoughts and feelings in real time, fostering deep levels of mutual understanding and empathy. At each step, data encryption, analysis, and feedback loops function properly to achieve high-quality communication.

[0230] The original user reads the reply message and can then send further messages as feedback, which are again routed through the server and notified to other users as needed.
[0231] Input and Output:
[0232] Input: Response message
[0233] Output: Feedback message
[0234] Specific behavior:
[0235] User A reads the response, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better," on the device, and enters and sends feedback such as, "Thank you, I feel a little better now." The device then encrypts the feedback and sends it to the server.
[0236] The above steps provide a detailed explanation of the processing flow of a system that allows users to share emotions and text and promote mutual understanding and empathy.
[0237] (Application example 1)
[0238] 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."
[0239] Current security systems face the challenge of being unable to immediately detect and respond to abnormal emotions and behaviors. In particular, when strengthening security at work or home, there are limited means of monitoring changes in the emotions and abnormalities of employees and residents in real time, making it difficult to prevent serious incidents.
[0240] 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.
[0241] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to input emotions and text, means for transmitting the user's input data, means for analyzing the received data, means for generating an optimal message based on the analysis results, means for transmitting the generated message to another user terminal, means for receiving a response from another user and displaying it to the original user, means for acquiring video and audio data, means for analyzing the acquired data in real time, and means for detecting abnormal emotions from the analysis results and generating a notification, thereby enabling abnormal emotions and behaviors to be detected quickly and appropriate measures to be taken.

[0250] "Means for detecting anomalous emotions from the analysis results and generating notifications" refers to a system or process for detecting anomalous emotions from data analyzed in real time and generating corresponding notifications.
[0251] Overall system configuration
[0252] This invention is a system designed to allow users to share their thoughts and feelings and deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The system is mainly composed of three main components: a user terminal, a server, and a database.
[0253] Hardware and Software Configuration
[0254] User terminal
[0255] The user terminal is equipped with an interface for inputting emotions and text, a camera and a microphone for collecting video and audio data, and a dedicated application installed on it, which transmits the data input by the user to a server.
[0256] server
[0257] The server uses an advanced natural language processing (NLP) engine and machine learning algorithms to analyze user input data in real time. The server has the following functions:
[0258] Parses the received data and generates the appropriate message.
[0259] Video and audio data is analyzed in real time to detect abnormal emotions.
[0260] The analysis results, generated messages, and notification contents are saved in a database.
[0261] Database
[0262] The database stores users' emotional data, past interactions, and analysis results, allowing it to compare with past data to more accurately detect abnormal emotions and generate appropriate feedback.
[0263] Specific examples of hardware and software used
[0264] Camera: A device for acquiring video data
[0265] Microphone: A device for collecting audio data
[0266] PC: A computer for analyzing video and audio data
[0267] NLP engine: Natural language processing (e.g. NLPEngine)
[0268] Communication protocol: Data encryption via SSL / TLS
[0269] How to operate the system
[0270] Users can input their feelings and thoughts using an interface for inputting emotions and text, and the system captures the user's video and audio data through a camera and microphone. This data is then encrypted and sent to a server.
[0271] The server analyzes the received data and generates an appropriate message or notification if it detects an abnormal emotion. The generated message is immediately sent to another user device. The user who receives this message can check the content of the notification and take appropriate action.
[0272] Specific examples
[0273] For example, if this system is implemented in a workplace security system, an employee can input "Something very sad happened today." This data is sent to the server along with video and audio data collected through cameras and microphones. The server analyzes this data in real time and generates a notification based on the analysis results saying, "An abnormal emotion has been detected. Please check immediately." This notification is then immediately sent to the security staff's device.
[0274] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0275] For example, you could use a prompt like, "We want to use emotion analysis to improve security in the workplace. Please propose an application that can quickly detect people's anger or fear and immediately notify security staff. Please also tell us the specific implementation method and technology used."
[0276] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0277] Step 1:
[0278] The user inputs emotions and text. The user inputs "Something very sad happened today" into a dedicated interface on the terminal. This input data includes the user's emotion options and text. Input: Emotion (sadness) and text (Something very sad happened today). Output: Input data.
[0279] Step 2:
[0280] The device sends the input data to the server. The device encrypts the input emotion and text data using the SSL / TLS protocol and then sends it to the server. Input: Emotion and text data. Output: Encrypted data.
[0281] Step 3:
[0282] The server decrypts and analyzes the received data. The server decrypts the received encrypted data and passes it to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. Input: Encrypted data. Output: Analysis results (e.g., "very sad").
[0283] Step 4:
[0284] The server generates the optimal message based on the analysis results. Based on the analysis results, the server automatically generates a recommended message such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to them." Input: Analysis results. Output: Generated message.
[0285] Step 5:
[0286] The server sends the generated message to another user's device. The server sends the generated message to another user's device. The sending method depends on the user's settings, such as push notification or email. Input: Generated message. Output: Notification to another user's device.
[0287] Step 6:
[0288] Another user receives the message and responds. Another user receives the message, types a response such as "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better," and sends it from their device. This response is encrypted and sent to the server. Input: Generated message. Output: Response message.
[0289] Step 7:
[0290] The server sends a response message to the original user. The server decrypts the received response message and sends it to the original user's terminal. Input: Response message. Output: Feedback message to the original user.
[0291] Step 8:
[0292] The original user receives the feedback. The original user receives the feedback message and can enter their own emotions and situation again if necessary to make a further response. Input: Feedback message. Output: New emotions and text data.
[0293] In this way, users can share their thoughts and feelings in real time, deepening mutual understanding and empathy.
[0294] 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.
[0295] 1. Overview
[0296] This invention is a system for sharing thoughts and emotions between users to deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The purpose is to reduce misunderstandings and conflicts by having users input their emotions and thoughts and then appropriately convey the analyzed data to other users. Furthermore, this invention combines an emotion engine to enhance the recognition of users' emotions.
[0297] 2. System Configuration
[0298] This system consists of a user terminal, a server, a database, and an emotion engine. The user terminal is equipped with input and receiving means, and the server is responsible for analyzing data and generating messages. The database stores the analysis results and past interactions, and the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions.
[0299] 3. Program Processing
[0300] The user enters emotions and text on the device
[0301] The user inputs emotions and text through the interface. The emotions are analyzed in real time by the emotion engine. The emotion engine integrates the selected emotion, text input, voice input, and facial expression analysis using facial recognition to determine a comprehensive emotion. For example, if a user inputs "Something very sad happened today," the emotion engine will recognize that the emotion "sadness" is strong.
[0302] Example: User (entered on the terminal)
[0303] Emotion selection: "Sadness"
[0304] Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[0305] The device sends the input data to the server
[0306] The entered emotion and text data is encrypted on the device and then sent to the server using the SSL / TLS protocol.
[0307] Example: Terminal (data transmission)
[0308] encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[0309] Server (data reception)
[0310] decrypt(encrypted_data)
[0311] The server analyzes the received data
[0312] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine for emotion and text analysis. The analysis engine extracts emotions from the text in real time, and the emotion engine performs a comprehensive emotion determination by combining facial recognition and voice analysis. For example, it may be analyzed that "sadness" is particularly strong. The analysis results are stored in a database and compared with past data.
[0313] Example: Server (analysis)
[0314] emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[0315] comprehensive_emotion = EmotionEngine.combine_audio_visual(emotion_analysis)
[0316] Server (storing analysis results)
[0317] Database.save(user_id, comprehensive_emotion)
[0318] The server generates the appropriate message
[0319] Based on the analysis results, the server generates appropriate feedback and notification messages for the user, such as "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him."
[0320] Example: Server (message generation)
[0321] message = generateMessage(comprehensive_emotion)
[0322] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[0323] The generated messages and notifications will be sent to the selected other users' devices via push notifications, emails, or other methods set by the user.
[0324] Example: Server (data transmission)
[0325] send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[0326] Terminal (data reception)
[0327] display_notification(message)
[0328] The person you shared with will receive the message
[0329] The receiving user reads the notification, prepares a response message if necessary, and sends it to the server via the terminal, which then sends the message back to the server and delivers it to the original user.
[0330] Example: Another user (entered in the terminal)
[0331] response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better."
[0332] Terminal (data transmission)
[0333] encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[0334] Server (data reception & analysis)
[0335] decrypt(encrypted_response)
[0336] The original user receives feedback
[0337] The original user can read the response from the other user and provide further feedback, which will be resubmitted and notified to other users as needed.
[0338] Example: Original user (displayed on terminal)
[0339] display_response(response_message)
[0340] Original user (entered on the terminal)
[0341] additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[0342] Terminal (data transmission)
[0343] send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[0344] 4. Specific examples of implementation
[0345] For example, if user A enters "Something very sad happened today," the emotion engine will determine this as "sadness." This data is encrypted and sent to the server, where it is analyzed by natural language processing and the emotion engine. The server then generates a message saying, "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him / her," and notifies user B. User B receives the notification and responds, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better." This response message is then displayed to user A via the server again. Through this process, users A and B share their emotions at a deep level, promoting mutual understanding and empathy.
[0346] As described above, the system of the present invention provides an embodiment that effectively shares users' emotions and thoughts and combines advanced emotion recognition technology, improving the quality of communication between users and facilitating the sharing of emotions.
[0347] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0348] Step 1:
[0349] User enters emotion and text
[0350] The user inputs emotions and text through the device's interface. Emotions can be selected from options such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and thoughts and feelings can be freely entered in the text entry field. Furthermore, facial expressions can be captured using voice input or a camera, if necessary. For example, a user can select the emotion of sadness along with the text "Something very sad happened today."
[0351] User (typed on device): Emotion selection: "Sadness" Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[0352] Step 2:
[0353] The device sends the input data to the server
[0354] The input emotion and text data, as well as audio and image data, are encrypted on the device and sent to the server using the SSL / TLS protocol.
[0355] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[0356] Server (receiving data): decrypt(encrypted_data)
[0357] Step 3:
[0358] The server analyzes the received data
[0359] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine for analysis. The natural language processing engine extracts emotions from the text, and the emotion engine performs voice analysis and facial recognition to comprehensively determine emotions. For example, text analysis may recognize strong "sadness," voice analysis may sense "sadness" from a low tone, and facial recognition may detect traces of tears.
[0360] Server(analysis): emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[0361] comprehensive_emotion = EmotionEngine.combine_audio_visual(emotion_analysis)
[0362] Server (saving analysis results): Database.save(user_id, comprehensive_emotion)
[0363] Step 4:
[0364] The server generates the appropriate message
[0365] Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate feedback or notification message, such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[0366] Server (Message generation): message = generateMessage(comprehensive_emotion)
[0367] Step 5:
[0368] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[0369] The generated messages and notifications are sent to the selected users' devices via push notifications or emails, depending on the recipient's settings.
[0370] Server (data sending): send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[0371] Device (receiving data): display_notification(message)
[0372] Step 6:
[0373] The person you shared with will receive the message
[0374] The recipient user reads the notification, prepares a response message if necessary, and sends it from the terminal to the server, where it is again encrypted and sent to the server.
[0375] Another user (typed on device): response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and clear things up."
[0376] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[0377] Server (receiving and analyzing data): decrypt(encrypted_response)
[0378] Step 7:
[0379] The original user receives feedback
[0380] The original user can read the reply message from the other user and send additional feedback, which is then passed through the server again and may be notified to other users if necessary.
[0381] Original user (displayed on terminal): display_response(response_message)
[0382] Original user (typed on device): additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[0383] Terminal (data transmission): send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[0384] summary
[0385] Through these steps, the system allows users to share their thoughts and feelings in real time, fostering a deep level of mutual understanding and empathy. At each step, data encryption, analysis, and feedback loops function properly to achieve high-quality communication.

[0493] The system for implementing this invention consists of a user terminal, a server, a database, and an emotion engine. The system analyzes the user's emotions and state in real time and provides appropriate feedback to improve the work environment and work efficiency.
[0494] System configuration
[0495] 1. User terminal: The user terminal provides an interface for the worker to input emotions and text. The emotion engine performs emotion analysis in real time, and the input data is sent to the server.
[0496] 2. Server: The server receives the data sent by the user and performs data analysis. Specifically, it performs sentiment analysis using a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine, and generates appropriate messages and feedback based on the analysis results.
[0497] 3. Database: Includes a database for storing analysis results and past interactions, allowing historical data reference.
[0498] 4. Emotion engine: The emotion engine combines voice analysis, facial expression analysis, and text analysis to determine overall emotions.
[0499] Program processing
[0500] This system uses the following hardware and software:
[0501] Hardware:
[0502] Camera: for facial expression analysis
[0503] Microphone: For voice input
[0504] Computer: Data analysis and notification generation
[0505] software:
[0506] OpenCV: Camera image processing
[0507] EmotionEngine: Emotion recognition
[0508] NLPEngine: Text Analysis
[0509] Notification: Notification system
[0510] Processing flow and data calculation
[0511] 1. User input:
[0512] The user inputs emotions and text using the device, and the emotion engine analyzes the emotions in real time and sends the data to the server.
[0513] 2. Data transmission:
[0514] The data entered by the user is encrypted before being sent to the server. The SSL / TLS protocol is used.
[0515] 3. Data Analysis:
[0516] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine to perform emotion analysis and text analysis. The analysis results are stored in a database.
[0517] 4. Message Creation:
[0518] The server generates an appropriate feedback message for the user based on the analysis results. For example, if the emotion is determined to be "fatigue," an appropriate message (e.g., "You should take a break") is generated.
[0519] 5. Sending a message:
[0520] The server then sends the generated message to another user device via push notification, email, or other methods based on the user's settings.
[0521] 6. Receiving Response:
[0522] A response from another user is received and displayed to the original user.
[0523] Specific examples and prompts for the generative AI model
[0524] The system works as follows:
[0525] Examples:
[0526] The worker inputs "I'm tired," and the camera and microphone capture the situation. The results determine "fatigue" and "stress." The robot then notifies the worker, saying, "It's time to take a break."
[0527] Example prompt sentence:
[0528] "Worker has been detected as 'tired' based on facial expression, voice tone, and text input. Generate a notification to the worker suggesting a break."
[0529] This system makes it possible to grasp the emotions and state of workers in real time and provide appropriate feedback and support.
[0530] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0531] Step 1:
[0532] The user inputs emotions and text into the device. The input interface provides a text box and an emotion selection menu, and is also linked to a camera that detects facial expressions and a microphone that captures voice. The user's input includes the text data "Tired" and the emotion data "Tired," which are then analyzed in real time by the emotion engine.
[0533] Step 2:
[0534] The device encrypts the input emotion and text data and sends it to the server. The encryption uses the SSL / TLS protocol. If the input data is "tired" and "tired," the server receives it after encryption.
[0535] Step 3:
[0536] The server decrypts the received encrypted data and begins data analysis. The decrypted data is passed to a natural language processing (NLP) engine, which analyzes the text data "Tired." At the same time, the emotion engine analyzes the voice and facial expression data to determine a comprehensive emotion. For example, it may determine that "Tired" is very strong.
[0537] Step 4:
[0538] The server generates an appropriate message based on the analysis results. For example, if the result of emotion analysis is "fatigue," it generates a feedback message saying, "You should take a break." The analysis results and the generated message are stored in a database.
[0539] Step 5:
[0540] The server then sends the generated message to the worker using an appropriate notification method, such as push notification or email, and depending on the settings, a notification such as "It's best to take a break" is displayed on the worker's device.
[0541] Step 6:
[0542] The worker receives the notification and inputs a response, for example, "I'll continue working a little longer." This input data is then re-encrypted and sent to the server.
[0543] Step 7:
[0544] The server receives, decodes, and analyzes the worker's response, and determines how to address the original feedback using the results of the analysis, in this case generating a message to encourage further support.
[0545] Step 8:
[0546] The generated additional feedback message is then sent to the original worker. For example, a message saying, "Please take regular breaks and don't overexert yourself" is sent to the worker again. This process is repeated to manage the worker's health and work efficiency.
[0547] In this way, a system is realized that can grasp the emotions and state of the worker in real time and provide appropriate feedback.
[0548] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0549] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (registered trademark) (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0563] 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."
[0564] 1. Overview
[0565] This invention is a system for sharing thoughts and feelings between users to deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The aim is to reduce misunderstandings and conflicts by allowing users to input their feelings and text, and then appropriately convey the analyzed data to other users. The system is provided as a cloud-based platform and can be accessed through software.
[0566] 2. System Configuration
[0567] The system is mainly composed of three main components: a user terminal, a server, and a database. The user terminal has input and receiving means, the server is responsible for analysis and message generation, and the database is responsible for storing analysis results and past interactions.
[0568] 3. Program Processing
[0569] The user enters emotions and text on the device
[0570] Users have a dedicated interface for inputting their own emotions and thoughts. Emotion options include "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and they can enter any sentence they like in the text input field. For example, they can enter, "Something very sad happened today."
[0571] Example: User (entered on the terminal)
[0572] Emotion selection: "Sadness"
[0573] Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[0574] The device sends the input data to the server
[0575] The emotion and text data entered by the user is encrypted and sent to the server using security protocols such as SSL / TLS.
[0576] Example: Terminal (data transmission)
[0577] encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[0578] Server (data reception)
[0579] decrypt(encrypted_data)
[0580] The server analyzes the received data
[0581] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. For example, it can detect a strong emotion of "sadness" from the user's text. The analysis results are stored in a database and compared with past data.
[0582] Example: Server (analysis)
[0583] emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[0584] Server (storing analysis results)
[0585] Database.save(user_id, emotion_analysis)
[0586] The server generates the appropriate message
[0587] Based on the analysis results, appropriate feedback messages and notification messages are generated for the user, such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[0588] Example: Server (message generation)
[0589] message = "My friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him."
[0590] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[0591] The generated message will be sent to the selected user's device via push notification, email, or other method of their choice.
[0592] Example: Server (data transmission)
[0593] send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[0594] Terminal (data reception)
[0595] display_notification(message)
[0596] The shared user receives the message and responds.
[0597] The receiving user can read the notification and send an appropriate response, which is then sent back to the server and displayed to the original user.
[0598] Example: Another user (entered in the terminal)
[0599] response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better."
[0600] Terminal (data transmission)
[0601] encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[0602] Server (data reception & analysis)
[0603] decrypt(encrypted_response)
[0604] The original user receives feedback
[0605] The original user can read the response and provide further feedback, which is then passed back to the server and communicated to other users as needed.
[0606] Example: Original user (displayed on terminal)
[0607] display_response(response_message)
[0608] Original user (entered on the terminal)
[0609] additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[0610] Terminal (data transmission)
[0611] send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[0612] 4. Specific examples of implementation
[0613] For example, user A enters, "Something very sad happened today." This data is encrypted and sent to the server, where the emotion "sadness" is analyzed using natural language processing. The server then generates a message saying, "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him / her," and notifies user B. User B receives the notification and responds, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better." This response message is then sent back through the server and displayed to user A. This process allows users A and B to share their emotions at a deep level.
[0614] As described above, this system provides a means for users to effectively share their feelings and thoughts, promoting mutual understanding and empathy.
[0615] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0616] Step 1:
[0617] User enters emotion and text
[0618] The user inputs emotions and text into the interface that opens using the device. Emotions can be selected from options such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and thoughts and feelings can be freely entered into the text input field. For example, the user can input "Something very sad happened today."
[0619] User (typed on device): Emotion selection: "Sadness" Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[0620] Step 2:
[0621] The device sends the input data to the server
[0622] The entered emotion and text data are encrypted on the device and sent to the server using a network protocol (e.g., SSL / TLS).
[0623] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[0624] Server (receiving data): decrypt(encrypted_data)
[0625] Step 3:
[0626] The server analyzes the received data
[0627] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. The analysis engine extracts the level and type of emotion from the text and summarizes the results. For example, it may be analyzed that "sadness" is particularly strong. The analysis results are stored in a database.
[0628] Server(analysis): emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[0629] Server (saving analysis results): Database.save(user_id, emotion_analysis)
[0630] Step 4:
[0631] The server generates the appropriate message
[0632] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a default or customized feedback message, along with a notification message to share with other users. For example, a message like "My friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[0633] Server (Message generation): message = generateMessage(emotion_analysis)
[0634] Step 5:
[0635] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[0636] The generated messages and notifications are sent to other selected users via push notifications, email, or other methods depending on the user's settings.
[0637] Server (data sending): send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[0638] Device (receiving data): display_notification(message)
[0639] Step 6:
[0640] The person you shared with will receive the message
[0641] The receiving user reads the notification and, if necessary, prepares a reply message, which is sent again to the server and delivered to the original user.
[0642] Another user (typed on device): response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and clear things up."
[0643] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[0644] Server (receiving and analyzing data): decrypt(encrypted_response)
[0645] Step 7:
[0646] The original user receives feedback
[0647] The original user can read the response from the other user and provide further feedback, which will be resubmitted and notified to other users if necessary.
[0648] Original user (displayed on terminal): display_response(response_message)
[0649] Original user (typed on device): additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[0650] Terminal (data transmission): send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[0651] summary
[0652] Through these steps, the system allows users to share their thoughts and feelings in real time, fostering deep levels of mutual understanding and empathy. At each step, data encryption, analysis, and feedback loops function properly to achieve high-quality communication.

[0757] Output: Feedback message
[0758] Specific behavior:
[0759] User A reads the response, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better," on the device, and enters and sends feedback such as, "Thank you, I feel a little better now." The device then encrypts the feedback and sends it to the server.
[0760] The above steps provide a detailed explanation of the processing flow of a system that allows users to share emotions and text and promote mutual understanding and empathy.
[0761] (Application example 1)
[0762] 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."
[0763] Current security systems face the challenge of being unable to immediately detect and respond to abnormal emotions and behaviors. In particular, when strengthening security at work or home, there are limited means of monitoring changes in the emotions and abnormalities of employees and residents in real time, making it difficult to prevent serious incidents.
[0764] 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.
[0765] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to input emotions and text, means for transmitting the user's input data, means for analyzing the received data, means for generating an optimal message based on the analysis results, means for transmitting the generated message to another user terminal, means for receiving a response from another user and displaying it to the original user, means for acquiring video and audio data, means for analyzing the acquired data in real time, and means for detecting abnormal emotions from the analysis results and generating a notification, thereby enabling abnormal emotions and behaviors to be detected quickly and appropriate measures to be taken.

[0775] Overall system configuration
[0776] This invention is a system designed to allow users to share their thoughts and feelings and deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The system is mainly composed of three main components: a user terminal, a server, and a database.
[0777] Hardware and Software Configuration
[0778] User terminal
[0779] The user terminal is equipped with an interface for inputting emotions and text, a camera and a microphone for collecting video and audio data, and a dedicated application installed on it, which transmits the data input by the user to a server.
[0780] server
[0781] The server uses an advanced natural language processing (NLP) engine and machine learning algorithms to analyze user input data in real time. The server has the following functions:
[0782] Parses the received data and generates the appropriate message.
[0783] Video and audio data is analyzed in real time to detect abnormal emotions.
[0784] The analysis results, generated messages, and notification contents are saved in a database.
[0785] Database
[0786] The database stores users' emotional data, past interactions, and analysis results, allowing it to compare with past data to more accurately detect abnormal emotions and generate appropriate feedback.
[0787] Specific examples of hardware and software used
[0788] Camera: A device for acquiring video data
[0789] Microphone: A device for collecting audio data
[0790] PC: A computer for analyzing video and audio data
[0791] NLP engine: Natural language processing (e.g. NLPEngine)
[0792] Communication protocol: Data encryption via SSL / TLS
[0793] How to operate the system
[0794] Users can input their feelings and thoughts using an interface for inputting emotions and text, and the system captures the user's video and audio data through a camera and microphone. This data is then encrypted and sent to a server.
[0795] The server analyzes the received data and generates an appropriate message or notification if it detects an abnormal emotion. The generated message is immediately sent to another user device. The user who receives this message can check the content of the notification and take appropriate action.
[0796] Specific examples
[0797] For example, if this system is implemented in a workplace security system, an employee can input "Something very sad happened today." This data is sent to the server along with video and audio data collected through cameras and microphones. The server analyzes this data in real time and generates a notification based on the analysis results saying, "An abnormal emotion has been detected. Please check immediately." This notification is then immediately sent to the security staff's device.
[0798] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0799] For example, you could use a prompt like, "We want to use emotion analysis to improve security in the workplace. Please propose an application that can quickly detect people's anger or fear and immediately notify security staff. Please also tell us the specific implementation method and technology used."
[0800] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0801] Step 1:
[0802] The user inputs emotions and text. The user inputs "Something very sad happened today" into a dedicated interface on the terminal. This input data includes the user's emotion options and text. Input: Emotion (sadness) and text (Something very sad happened today). Output: Input data.
[0803] Step 2:
[0804] The device sends the input data to the server. The device encrypts the input emotion and text data using the SSL / TLS protocol and then sends it to the server. Input: Emotion and text data. Output: Encrypted data.
[0805] Step 3:
[0806] The server decrypts and analyzes the received data. The server decrypts the received encrypted data and passes it to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. Input: Encrypted data. Output: Analysis results (e.g., "very sad").
[0807] Step 4:
[0808] The server generates the optimal message based on the analysis results. Based on the analysis results, the server automatically generates a recommended message such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to them." Input: Analysis results. Output: Generated message.
[0809] Step 5:
[0810] The server sends the generated message to another user's device. The server sends the generated message to another user's device. The sending method depends on the user's settings, such as push notification or email. Input: Generated message. Output: Notification to another user's device.
[0811] Step 6:
[0812] Another user receives the message and responds. Another user receives the message, types a response such as "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better," and sends it from their device. This response is encrypted and sent to the server. Input: Generated message. Output: Response message.
[0813] Step 7:
[0814] The server sends a response message to the original user. The server decrypts the received response message and sends it to the original user's terminal. Input: Response message. Output: Feedback message to the original user.
[0815] Step 8:
[0816] The original user receives the feedback. The original user receives the feedback message and can enter their own emotions and situation again if necessary to make a further response. Input: Feedback message. Output: New emotions and text data.
[0817] In this way, users can share their thoughts and feelings in real time, deepening mutual understanding and empathy.
[0818] 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.
[0819] 1. Overview
[0820] This invention is a system for sharing thoughts and emotions between users to deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The purpose is to reduce misunderstandings and conflicts by having users input their emotions and thoughts and then appropriately convey the analyzed data to other users. Furthermore, this invention combines an emotion engine to enhance the recognition of users' emotions.
[0821] 2. System Configuration
[0822] This system consists of a user terminal, a server, a database, and an emotion engine. The user terminal is equipped with input and receiving means, and the server is responsible for analyzing data and generating messages. The database stores the analysis results and past interactions, and the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions.
[0823] 3. Program Processing
[0824] The user enters emotions and text on the device
[0825] The user inputs emotions and text through the interface. The emotions are analyzed in real time by the emotion engine. The emotion engine integrates the selected emotion, text input, voice input, and facial expression analysis using facial recognition to determine a comprehensive emotion. For example, if a user inputs "Something very sad happened today," the emotion engine will recognize that the emotion "sadness" is strong.
[0826] Example: User (entered on the terminal)
[0827] Emotion selection: "Sadness"
[0828] Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[0829] The device sends the input data to the server
[0830] The entered emotion and text data is encrypted on the device and then sent to the server using the SSL / TLS protocol.
[0831] Example: Terminal (data transmission)
[0832] encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[0833] Server (data reception)
[0834] decrypt(encrypted_data)
[0835] The server analyzes the received data
[0836] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine for emotion and text analysis. The analysis engine extracts emotions from the text in real time, and the emotion engine performs a comprehensive emotion determination by combining facial recognition and voice analysis. For example, it may be analyzed that "sadness" is particularly strong. The analysis results are stored in a database and compared with past data.
[0837] Example: Server (analysis)
[0838] emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[0839] comprehensive_emotion = EmotionEngine.combine_audio_visual(emotion_analysis)
[0840] Server (storing analysis results)
[0841] Database.save(user_id, comprehensive_emotion)
[0842] The server generates the appropriate message
[0843] Based on the analysis results, the server generates appropriate feedback and notification messages for the user, such as "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him."
[0844] Example: Server (message generation)
[0845] message = generateMessage(comprehensive_emotion)
[0846] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[0847] The generated messages and notifications will be sent to the selected other users' devices via push notifications, emails, or other methods set by the user.
[0848] Example: Server (data transmission)
[0849] send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[0850] Terminal (data reception)
[0851] display_notification(message)
[0852] The person you shared with will receive the message
[0853] The receiving user reads the notification, prepares a response message if necessary, and sends it to the server via the terminal, which then sends the message back to the server and delivers it to the original user.
[0854] Example: Another user (entered in the terminal)
[0855] response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better."
[0856] Terminal (data transmission)
[0857] encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[0858] Server (data reception & analysis)
[0859] decrypt(encrypted_response)
[0860] The original user receives feedback
[0861] The original user can read the response from the other user and provide further feedback, which will be resubmitted and notified to other users as needed.
[0862] Example: Original user (displayed on terminal)
[0863] display_response(response_message)
[0864] Original user (entered on the terminal)
[0865] additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[0866] Terminal (data transmission)
[0867] send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[0868] 4. Specific examples of implementation
[0869] For example, if user A enters "Something very sad happened today," the emotion engine will determine this as "sadness." This data is encrypted and sent to the server, where it is analyzed by natural language processing and the emotion engine. The server then generates a message saying, "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him / her," and notifies user B. User B receives the notification and responds, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better." This response message is then displayed to user A via the server again. Through this process, users A and B share their emotions at a deep level, promoting mutual understanding and empathy.
[0870] As described above, the system of the present invention provides an embodiment that effectively shares users' emotions and thoughts and combines advanced emotion recognition technology, improving the quality of communication between users and facilitating the sharing of emotions.
[0871] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0872] Step 1:
[0873] User enters emotion and text
[0874] The user inputs emotions and text through the device's interface. Emotions can be selected from options such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and thoughts and feelings can be freely entered in the text entry field. Furthermore, facial expressions can be captured using voice input or a camera, if necessary. For example, a user can select the emotion of sadness along with the text "Something very sad happened today."
[0875] User (typed on device): Emotion selection: "Sadness" Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[0876] Step 2:
[0877] The device sends the input data to the server
[0878] The input emotion and text data, as well as audio and image data, are encrypted on the device and sent to the server using the SSL / TLS protocol.
[0879] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[0880] Server (receiving data): decrypt(encrypted_data)
[0881] Step 3:
[0882] The server analyzes the received data
[0883] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine for analysis. The natural language processing engine extracts emotions from the text, and the emotion engine performs voice analysis and facial recognition to comprehensively determine emotions. For example, text analysis may recognize strong "sadness," voice analysis may sense "sadness" from a low tone, and facial recognition may detect traces of tears.
[0884] Server(analysis): emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[0885] comprehensive_emotion = EmotionEngine.combine_audio_visual(emotion_analysis)
[0886] Server (saving analysis results): Database.save(user_id, comprehensive_emotion)
[0887] Step 4:
[0888] The server generates the appropriate message
[0889] Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate feedback or notification message, such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[0890] Server (Message generation): message = generateMessage(comprehensive_emotion)
[0891] Step 5:
[0892] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[0893] The generated messages and notifications are sent to the selected users' devices via push notifications or emails, depending on the recipient's settings.
[0894] Server (data sending): send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[0895] Device (receiving data): display_notification(message)
[0896] Step 6:
[0897] The person you shared with will receive the message
[0898] The recipient user reads the notification, prepares a response message if necessary, and sends it from the terminal to the server, where it is again encrypted and sent to the server.
[0899] Another user (typed on device): response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and clear things up."
[0900] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[0901] Server (receiving and analyzing data): decrypt(encrypted_response)
[0902] Step 7:
[0903] The original user receives feedback
[0904] The original user can read the reply message from the other user and send additional feedback, which is then passed through the server again and may be notified to other users if necessary.
[0905] Original user (displayed on terminal): display_response(response_message)
[0906] Original user (typed on device): additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[0907] Terminal (data transmission): send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[0908] summary
[0909] Through these steps, the system allows users to share their thoughts and feelings in real time, fostering a deep level of mutual understanding and empathy. At each step, data encryption, analysis, and feedback loops function properly to achieve high-quality communication.

[1019] 1. User terminal: The user terminal provides an interface for the worker to input emotions and text. The emotion engine performs emotion analysis in real time, and the input data is sent to the server.
[1020] 2. Server: The server receives the data sent by the user and performs data analysis. Specifically, it performs sentiment analysis using a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine, and generates appropriate messages and feedback based on the analysis results.
[1021] 3. Database: Includes a database for storing analysis results and past interactions, allowing historical data reference.
[1022] 4. Emotion engine: The emotion engine combines voice analysis, facial expression analysis, and text analysis to determine overall emotions.
[1023] Program processing
[1024] This system uses the following hardware and software:
[1025] Hardware:
[1026] Camera: for facial expression analysis
[1027] Microphone: For voice input
[1028] Computer: Data analysis and notification generation
[1029] software:
[1030] OpenCV: Camera image processing
[1031] EmotionEngine: Emotion recognition
[1032] NLPEngine: Text Analysis
[1033] Notification: Notification system
[1034] Processing flow and data calculation
[1035] 1. User input:
[1036] The user inputs emotions and text using the device, and the emotion engine analyzes the emotions in real time and sends the data to the server.
[1037] 2. Data transmission:
[1038] The data entered by the user is encrypted before being sent to the server. The SSL / TLS protocol is used.
[1039] 3. Data Analysis:
[1040] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine to perform emotion analysis and text analysis. The analysis results are stored in a database.
[1041] 4. Message Creation:
[1042] The server generates an appropriate feedback message for the user based on the analysis results. For example, if the emotion is determined to be "fatigue," an appropriate message (e.g., "You should take a break") is generated.
[1043] 5. Sending a message:
[1044] The server then sends the generated message to another user device via push notification, email, or other methods based on the user's settings.
[1045] 6. Receiving Response:
[1046] A response from another user is received and displayed to the original user.
[1047] Specific examples and prompts for the generative AI model
[1048] The system works as follows:
[1049] Examples:
[1050] The worker inputs "I'm tired," and the camera and microphone capture the situation. The results determine "fatigue" and "stress." The robot then notifies the worker, saying, "It's time to take a break."
[1051] Example prompt sentence:
[1052] "Worker has been detected as 'tired' based on facial expression, voice tone, and text input. Generate a notification to the worker suggesting a break."
[1053] This system makes it possible to grasp the emotions and state of workers in real time and provide appropriate feedback and support.
[1054] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1055] Step 1:
[1056] The user inputs emotions and text into the device. The input interface provides a text box and an emotion selection menu, and is also linked to a camera that detects facial expressions and a microphone that captures voice. The user's input includes the text data "Tired" and the emotion data "Tired," which are then analyzed in real time by the emotion engine.
[1057] Step 2:
[1058] The device encrypts the input emotion and text data and sends it to the server. The encryption uses the SSL / TLS protocol. If the input data is "tired" and "tired," the server receives it after encryption.
[1059] Step 3:
[1060] The server decrypts the received encrypted data and begins data analysis. The decrypted data is passed to a natural language processing (NLP) engine, which analyzes the text data "Tired." At the same time, the emotion engine analyzes the voice and facial expression data to determine a comprehensive emotion. For example, it may determine that "Tired" is very strong.
[1061] Step 4:
[1062] The server generates an appropriate message based on the analysis results. For example, if the result of emotion analysis is "fatigue," it generates a feedback message saying, "You should take a break." The analysis results and the generated message are stored in a database.
[1063] Step 5:
[1064] The server then sends the generated message to the worker using an appropriate notification method, such as push notification or email, and depending on the settings, a notification such as "It's best to take a break" is displayed on the worker's device.
[1065] Step 6:
[1066] The worker receives the notification and inputs a response, for example, "I'll continue working a little longer." This input data is then re-encrypted and sent to the server.
[1067] Step 7:
[1068] The server receives, decodes, and analyzes the worker's response, and determines how to address the original feedback using the results of the analysis, in this case generating a message to encourage further support.
[1069] Step 8:
[1070] The generated additional feedback message is then sent to the original worker. For example, a message saying, "Please take regular breaks and don't overexert yourself" is sent to the worker again. This process is repeated to manage the worker's health and work efficiency.
[1071] In this way, a system is realized that can grasp the emotions and state of the worker in real time and provide appropriate feedback.
[1072] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1073] 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.
[1074] 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."
[1088] 1. Overview
[1089] This invention is a system for sharing thoughts and feelings between users to deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The aim is to reduce misunderstandings and conflicts by allowing users to input their feelings and text, and then appropriately convey the analyzed data to other users. The system is provided as a cloud-based platform and can be accessed through software.
[1090] 2. System Configuration
[1091] The system is mainly composed of three main components: a user terminal, a server, and a database. The user terminal has input and receiving means, the server is responsible for analysis and message generation, and the database is responsible for storing analysis results and past interactions.
[1092] 3. Program Processing
[1093] The user enters emotions and text on the device
[1094] Users have a dedicated interface for inputting their own emotions and thoughts. Emotion options include "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and they can enter any sentence they like in the text input field. For example, they can enter, "Something very sad happened today."
[1095] Example: User (entered on the terminal)
[1096] Emotion selection: "Sadness"
[1097] Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[1098] The device sends the input data to the server
[1099] The emotion and text data entered by the user is encrypted and sent to the server using security protocols such as SSL / TLS.
[1100] Example: Terminal (data transmission)
[1101] encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[1102] Server (data reception)
[1103] decrypt(encrypted_data)
[1104] The server analyzes the received data
[1105] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. For example, it can detect a strong emotion of "sadness" from the user's text. The analysis results are stored in a database and compared with past data.
[1106] Example: Server (analysis)
[1107] emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[1108] Server (storing analysis results)
[1109] Database.save(user_id, emotion_analysis)
[1110] The server generates the appropriate message
[1111] Based on the analysis results, appropriate feedback messages and notification messages are generated for the user, such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[1112] Example: Server (message generation)
[1113] message = "My friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him."
[1114] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[1115] The generated message will be sent to the selected user's device via push notification, email, or other method of their choice.
[1116] Example: Server (data transmission)
[1117] send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[1118] Terminal (data reception)
[1119] display_notification(message)
[1120] The shared user receives the message and responds.
[1121] The receiving user can read the notification and send an appropriate response, which is then sent back to the server and displayed to the original user.
[1122] Example: Another user (entered in the terminal)
[1123] response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better."
[1124] Terminal (data transmission)
[1125] encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[1126] Server (data reception & analysis)
[1127] decrypt(encrypted_response)
[1128] The original user receives feedback
[1129] The original user can read the response and provide further feedback, which is then passed back to the server and communicated to other users as needed.
[1130] Example: Original user (displayed on terminal)
[1131] display_response(response_message)
[1132] Original user (entered on the terminal)
[1133] additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[1134] Terminal (data transmission)
[1135] send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[1136] 4. Specific examples of implementation
[1137] For example, user A enters, "Something very sad happened today." This data is encrypted and sent to the server, where the emotion "sadness" is analyzed using natural language processing. The server then generates a message saying, "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him / her," and notifies user B. User B receives the notification and responds, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better." This response message is then sent back through the server and displayed to user A. This process allows users A and B to share their emotions at a deep level.
[1138] As described above, this system provides a means for users to effectively share their feelings and thoughts, promoting mutual understanding and empathy.
[1139] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1140] Step 1:
[1141] User enters emotion and text
[1142] The user inputs emotions and text into the interface that opens using the device. Emotions can be selected from options such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and thoughts and feelings can be freely entered into the text input field. For example, the user can input "Something very sad happened today."
[1143] User (typed on device): Emotion selection: "Sadness" Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[1144] Step 2:
[1145] The device sends the input data to the server
[1146] The entered emotion and text data are encrypted on the device and sent to the server using a network protocol (e.g., SSL / TLS).
[1147] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[1148] Server (receiving data): decrypt(encrypted_data)
[1149] Step 3:
[1150] The server analyzes the received data
[1151] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. The analysis engine extracts the level and type of emotion from the text and summarizes the results. For example, it may be analyzed that "sadness" is particularly strong. The analysis results are stored in a database.
[1152] Server(analysis): emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[1153] Server (saving analysis results): Database.save(user_id, emotion_analysis)
[1154] Step 4:
[1155] The server generates the appropriate message
[1156] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a default or customized feedback message, along with a notification message to share with other users. For example, a message like "My friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[1157] Server (Message generation): message = generateMessage(emotion_analysis)
[1158] Step 5:
[1159] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[1160] The generated messages and notifications are sent to other selected users via push notifications, email, or other methods depending on the user's settings.
[1161] Server (data sending): send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[1162] Device (receiving data): display_notification(message)
[1163] Step 6:
[1164] The person you shared with will receive the message
[1165] The receiving user reads the notification and, if necessary, prepares a reply message, which is sent again to the server and delivered to the original user.
[1166] Another user (typed on device): response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and clear things up."
[1167] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[1168] Server (receiving and analyzing data): decrypt(encrypted_response)
[1169] Step 7:
[1170] The original user receives feedback
[1171] The original user can read the response from the other user and provide further feedback, which will be resubmitted and notified to other users if necessary.
[1172] Original user (displayed on terminal): display_response(response_message)
[1173] Original user (typed on device): additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[1174] Terminal (data transmission): send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[1175] summary
[1176] Through these steps, the system allows users to share their thoughts and feelings in real time, fostering deep levels of mutual understanding and empathy. At each step, data encryption, analysis, and feedback loops function properly to achieve high-quality communication.

[1283] User A reads the response, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better," on the device, and enters and sends feedback such as, "Thank you, I feel a little better now." The device then encrypts the feedback and sends it to the server.
[1284] The above steps provide a detailed explanation of the processing flow of a system that allows users to share emotions and text and promote mutual understanding and empathy.
[1285] (Application example 1)
[1286] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1287] Current security systems face the challenge of being unable to immediately detect and respond to abnormal emotions and behaviors. In particular, when strengthening security at work or home, there are limited means of monitoring changes in the emotions and abnormalities of employees and residents in real time, making it difficult to prevent serious incidents.
[1288] 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.
[1289] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to input emotions and text, means for transmitting the user's input data, means for analyzing the received data, means for generating an optimal message based on the analysis results, means for transmitting the generated message to another user terminal, means for receiving a response from another user and displaying it to the original user, means for acquiring video and audio data, means for analyzing the acquired data in real time, and means for detecting abnormal emotions from the analysis results and generating a notification, thereby enabling abnormal emotions and behaviors to be detected quickly and appropriate measures to be taken.

[1299] Overall system configuration
[1300] This invention is a system designed to allow users to share their thoughts and feelings and deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The system is mainly composed of three main components: a user terminal, a server, and a database.
[1301] Hardware and Software Configuration
[1302] User terminal
[1303] The user terminal is equipped with an interface for inputting emotions and text, a camera and a microphone for collecting video and audio data, and a dedicated application installed on it, which transmits the data input by the user to a server.
[1304] server
[1305] The server uses an advanced natural language processing (NLP) engine and machine learning algorithms to analyze user input data in real time. The server has the following functions:
[1306] Parses the received data and generates the appropriate message.
[1307] Video and audio data is analyzed in real time to detect abnormal emotions.
[1308] The analysis results, generated messages, and notification contents are saved in a database.
[1309] Database
[1310] The database stores users' emotional data, past interactions, and analysis results, allowing it to compare with past data to more accurately detect abnormal emotions and generate appropriate feedback.
[1311] Specific examples of hardware and software used
[1312] Camera: A device for acquiring video data
[1313] Microphone: A device for collecting audio data
[1314] PC: A computer for analyzing video and audio data
[1315] NLP engine: Natural language processing (e.g. NLPEngine)
[1316] Communication protocol: Data encryption via SSL / TLS
[1317] How to operate the system
[1318] Users can input their feelings and thoughts using an interface for inputting emotions and text, and the system captures the user's video and audio data through a camera and microphone. This data is then encrypted and sent to a server.
[1319] The server analyzes the received data and generates an appropriate message or notification if it detects an abnormal emotion. The generated message is immediately sent to another user device. The user who receives this message can check the content of the notification and take appropriate action.
[1320] Specific examples
[1321] For example, if this system is implemented in a workplace security system, an employee can input "Something very sad happened today." This data is sent to the server along with video and audio data collected through cameras and microphones. The server analyzes this data in real time and generates a notification based on the analysis results saying, "An abnormal emotion has been detected. Please check immediately." This notification is then immediately sent to the security staff's device.
[1322] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1323] For example, you could use a prompt like, "We want to use emotion analysis to improve security in the workplace. Please propose an application that can quickly detect people's anger or fear and immediately notify security staff. Please also tell us the specific implementation method and technology used."
[1324] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1325] Step 1:
[1326] The user inputs emotions and text. The user inputs "Something very sad happened today" into a dedicated interface on the terminal. This input data includes the user's emotion options and text. Input: Emotion (sadness) and text (Something very sad happened today). Output: Input data.
[1327] Step 2:
[1328] The device sends the input data to the server. The device encrypts the input emotion and text data using the SSL / TLS protocol and then sends it to the server. Input: Emotion and text data. Output: Encrypted data.
[1329] Step 3:
[1330] The server decrypts and analyzes the received data. The server decrypts the received encrypted data and passes it to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. Input: Encrypted data. Output: Analysis results (e.g., "very sad").
[1331] Step 4:
[1332] The server generates the optimal message based on the analysis results. Based on the analysis results, the server automatically generates a recommended message such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to them." Input: Analysis results. Output: Generated message.
[1333] Step 5:
[1334] The server sends the generated message to another user's device. The server sends the generated message to another user's device. The sending method depends on the user's settings, such as push notification or email. Input: Generated message. Output: Notification to another user's device.
[1335] Step 6:
[1336] Another user receives the message and responds. Another user receives the message, types a response such as "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better," and sends it from their device. This response is encrypted and sent to the server. Input: Generated message. Output: Response message.
[1337] Step 7:
[1338] The server sends a response message to the original user. The server decrypts the received response message and sends it to the original user's terminal. Input: Response message. Output: Feedback message to the original user.
[1339] Step 8:
[1340] The original user receives the feedback. The original user receives the feedback message and can enter their own emotions and situation again if necessary to make a further response. Input: Feedback message. Output: New emotions and text data.
[1341] In this way, users can share their thoughts and feelings in real time, deepening mutual understanding and empathy.
[1342] 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.
[1343] 1. Overview
[1344] This invention is a system for sharing thoughts and emotions between users to deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The purpose is to reduce misunderstandings and conflicts by having users input their emotions and thoughts and then appropriately convey the analyzed data to other users. Furthermore, this invention combines an emotion engine to enhance the recognition of users' emotions.
[1345] 2. System Configuration
[1346] This system consists of a user terminal, a server, a database, and an emotion engine. The user terminal is equipped with input and receiving means, and the server is responsible for analyzing data and generating messages. The database stores the analysis results and past interactions, and the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions.
[1347] 3. Program Processing
[1348] The user enters emotions and text on the device
[1349] The user inputs emotions and text through the interface. The emotions are analyzed in real time by the emotion engine. The emotion engine integrates the selected emotion, text input, voice input, and facial expression analysis using facial recognition to determine a comprehensive emotion. For example, if a user inputs "Something very sad happened today," the emotion engine will recognize that the emotion "sadness" is strong.
[1350] Example: User (entered on the terminal)
[1351] Emotion selection: "Sadness"
[1352] Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[1353] The device sends the input data to the server
[1354] The entered emotion and text data is encrypted on the device and then sent to the server using the SSL / TLS protocol.
[1355] Example: Terminal (data transmission)
[1356] encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[1357] Server (data reception)
[1358] decrypt(encrypted_data)
[1359] The server analyzes the received data
[1360] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine for emotion and text analysis. The analysis engine extracts emotions from the text in real time, and the emotion engine performs a comprehensive emotion determination by combining facial recognition and voice analysis. For example, it may be analyzed that "sadness" is particularly strong. The analysis results are stored in a database and compared with past data.
[1361] Example: Server (analysis)
[1362] emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[1363] comprehensive_emotion = EmotionEngine.combine_audio_visual(emotion_analysis)
[1364] Server (storing analysis results)
[1365] Database.save(user_id, comprehensive_emotion)
[1366] The server generates the appropriate message
[1367] Based on the analysis results, the server generates appropriate feedback and notification messages for the user, such as "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him."
[1368] Example: Server (message generation)
[1369] message = generateMessage(comprehensive_emotion)
[1370] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[1371] The generated messages and notifications will be sent to the selected other users' devices via push notifications, emails, or other methods set by the user.
[1372] Example: Server (data transmission)
[1373] send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[1374] Terminal (data reception)
[1375] display_notification(message)
[1376] The person you shared with will receive the message
[1377] The receiving user reads the notification, prepares a response message if necessary, and sends it to the server via the terminal, which then sends the message back to the server and delivers it to the original user.
[1378] Example: Another user (entered in the terminal)
[1379] response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better."
[1380] Terminal (data transmission)
[1381] encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[1382] Server (data reception & analysis)
[1383] decrypt(encrypted_response)
[1384] The original user receives feedback
[1385] The original user can read the response from the other user and provide further feedback, which will be resubmitted and notified to other users as needed.
[1386] Example: Original user (displayed on terminal)
[1387] display_response(response_message)
[1388] Original user (entered on the terminal)
[1389] additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[1390] Terminal (data transmission)
[1391] send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[1392] 4. Specific examples of implementation
[1393] For example, if user A enters "Something very sad happened today," the emotion engine will determine this as "sadness." This data is encrypted and sent to the server, where it is analyzed by natural language processing and the emotion engine. The server then generates a message saying, "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him / her," and notifies user B. User B receives the notification and responds, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better." This response message is then displayed to user A via the server again. Through this process, users A and B share their emotions at a deep level, promoting mutual understanding and empathy.
[1394] As described above, the system of the present invention provides an embodiment that effectively shares users' emotions and thoughts and combines advanced emotion recognition technology, improving the quality of communication between users and facilitating the sharing of emotions.
[1395] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1396] Step 1:
[1397] User enters emotion and text
[1398] The user inputs emotions and text through the device's interface. Emotions can be selected from options such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and thoughts and feelings can be freely entered in the text entry field. Furthermore, facial expressions can be captured using voice input or a camera, if necessary. For example, a user can select the emotion of sadness along with the text "Something very sad happened today."
[1399] User (typed on device): Emotion selection: "Sadness" Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[1400] Step 2:
[1401] The device sends the input data to the server
[1402] The input emotion and text data, as well as audio and image data, are encrypted on the device and sent to the server using the SSL / TLS protocol.
[1403] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[1404] Server (receiving data): decrypt(encrypted_data)
[1405] Step 3:
[1406] The server analyzes the received data
[1407] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine for analysis. The natural language processing engine extracts emotions from the text, and the emotion engine performs voice analysis and facial recognition to comprehensively determine emotions. For example, text analysis may recognize strong "sadness," voice analysis may sense "sadness" from a low tone, and facial recognition may detect traces of tears.
[1408] Server(analysis): emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[1409] comprehensive_emotion = EmotionEngine.combine_audio_visual(emotion_analysis)
[1410] Server (saving analysis results): Database.save(user_id, comprehensive_emotion)
[1411] Step 4:
[1412] The server generates the appropriate message
[1413] Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate feedback or notification message, such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[1414] Server (Message generation): message = generateMessage(comprehensive_emotion)
[1415] Step 5:
[1416] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[1417] The generated messages and notifications are sent to the selected users' devices via push notifications or emails, depending on the recipient's settings.
[1418] Server (data sending): send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[1419] Device (receiving data): display_notification(message)
[1420] Step 6:
[1421] The person you shared with will receive the message
[1422] The recipient user reads the notification, prepares a response message if necessary, and sends it from the terminal to the server, where it is again encrypted and sent to the server.
[1423] Another user (typed on device): response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and clear things up."
[1424] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[1425] Server (receiving and analyzing data): decrypt(encrypted_response)
[1426] Step 7:
[1427] The original user receives feedback
[1428] The original user can read the reply message from the other user and send additional feedback, which is then passed through the server again and may be notified to other users if necessary.
[1429] Original user (displayed on terminal): display_response(response_message)
[1430] Original user (typed on device): additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[1431] Terminal (data transmission): send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[1432] summary
[1433] Through these steps, the system allows users to share their thoughts and feelings in real time, fostering a deep level of mutual understanding and empathy. At each step, data encryption, analysis, and feedback loops function properly to achieve high-quality communication.

[1544] 2. Server: The server receives the data sent by the user and performs data analysis. Specifically, it performs sentiment analysis using a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine, and generates appropriate messages and feedback based on the analysis results.
[1545] 3. Database: Includes a database for storing analysis results and past interactions, allowing historical data reference.
[1546] 4. Emotion engine: The emotion engine combines voice analysis, facial expression analysis, and text analysis to determine overall emotions.
[1547] Program processing
[1548] This system uses the following hardware and software:
[1549] Hardware:
[1550] Camera: for facial expression analysis
[1551] Microphone: For voice input
[1552] Computer: Data analysis and notification generation
[1553] software:
[1554] OpenCV: Camera image processing
[1555] EmotionEngine: Emotion recognition
[1556] NLPEngine: Text Analysis
[1557] Notification: Notification system
[1558] Processing flow and data calculation
[1559] 1. User input:
[1560] The user inputs emotions and text using the device, and the emotion engine analyzes the emotions in real time and sends the data to the server.
[1561] 2. Data transmission:
[1562] The data entered by the user is encrypted before being sent to the server. The SSL / TLS protocol is used.
[1563] 3. Data Analysis:
[1564] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine to perform emotion analysis and text analysis. The analysis results are stored in a database.
[1565] 4. Message Creation:
[1566] The server generates an appropriate feedback message for the user based on the analysis results. For example, if the emotion is determined to be "fatigue," an appropriate message (e.g., "You should take a break") is generated.
[1567] 5. Sending a message:
[1568] The server then sends the generated message to another user device via push notification, email, or other methods based on the user's settings.
[1569] 6. Receiving Response:
[1570] A response from another user is received and displayed to the original user.
[1571] Specific examples and prompts for the generative AI model
[1572] The system works as follows:
[1573] Examples:
[1574] The worker inputs "I'm tired," and the camera and microphone capture the situation. The results determine "fatigue" and "stress." The robot then notifies the worker, saying, "It's time to take a break."
[1575] Example prompt sentence:
[1576] "Worker has been detected as 'tired' based on facial expression, voice tone, and text input. Generate a notification to the worker suggesting a break."
[1577] This system makes it possible to grasp the emotions and state of workers in real time and provide appropriate feedback and support.
[1578] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1579] Step 1:
[1580] The user inputs emotions and text into the device. The input interface provides a text box and an emotion selection menu, and is also linked to a camera that detects facial expressions and a microphone that captures voice. The user's input includes the text data "Tired" and the emotion data "Tired," which are then analyzed in real time by the emotion engine.
[1581] Step 2:
[1582] The device encrypts the input emotion and text data and sends it to the server. The encryption uses the SSL / TLS protocol. If the input data is "tired" and "tired," the server receives it after encryption.
[1583] Step 3:
[1584] The server decrypts the received encrypted data and begins data analysis. The decrypted data is passed to a natural language processing (NLP) engine, which analyzes the text data "Tired." At the same time, the emotion engine analyzes the voice and facial expression data to determine a comprehensive emotion. For example, it may determine that "Tired" is very strong.
[1585] Step 4:
[1586] The server generates an appropriate message based on the analysis results. For example, if the result of emotion analysis is "fatigue," it generates a feedback message saying, "You should take a break." The analysis results and the generated message are stored in a database.
[1587] Step 5:
[1588] The server then sends the generated message to the worker using an appropriate notification method, such as push notification or email, and depending on the settings, a notification such as "It's best to take a break" is displayed on the worker's device.
[1589] Step 6:
[1590] The worker receives the notification and inputs a response, for example, "I'll continue working a little longer." This input data is then re-encrypted and sent to the server.
[1591] Step 7:
[1592] The server receives, decodes, and analyzes the worker's response, and determines how to address the original feedback using the results of the analysis, in this case generating a message to encourage further support.
[1593] Step 8:
[1594] The generated additional feedback message is then sent to the original worker. For example, a message saying, "Please take regular breaks and don't overexert yourself" is sent to the worker again. This process is repeated to manage the worker's health and work efficiency.
[1595] In this way, a system is realized that can grasp the emotions and state of the worker in real time and provide appropriate feedback.
[1596] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1597] 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.
[1598] 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.

[1612] 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."
[1613] 1. Overview
[1614] This invention is a system for sharing thoughts and feelings between users to deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The aim is to reduce misunderstandings and conflicts by allowing users to input their feelings and text, and then appropriately convey the analyzed data to other users. The system is provided as a cloud-based platform and can be accessed through software.
[1615] 2. System Configuration
[1616] The system is mainly composed of three main components: a user terminal, a server, and a database. The user terminal has input and receiving means, the server is responsible for analysis and message generation, and the database is responsible for storing analysis results and past interactions.
[1617] 3. Program Processing
[1618] The user enters emotions and text on the device
[1619] Users have a dedicated interface for inputting their own emotions and thoughts. Emotion options include "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and they can enter any sentence they like in the text input field. For example, they can enter, "Something very sad happened today."
[1620] Example: User (entered on the terminal)
[1621] Emotion selection: "Sadness"
[1622] Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[1623] The device sends the input data to the server
[1624] The emotion and text data entered by the user is encrypted and sent to the server using security protocols such as SSL / TLS.
[1625] Example: Terminal (data transmission)
[1626] encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[1627] Server (data reception)
[1628] decrypt(encrypted_data)
[1629] The server analyzes the received data
[1630] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. For example, it can detect a strong emotion of "sadness" from the user's text. The analysis results are stored in a database and compared with past data.
[1631] Example: Server (analysis)
[1632] emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[1633] Server (storing analysis results)
[1634] Database.save(user_id, emotion_analysis)
[1635] The server generates the appropriate message
[1636] Based on the analysis results, appropriate feedback messages and notification messages are generated for the user, such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[1637] Example: Server (message generation)
[1638] message = "My friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him."
[1639] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[1640] The generated message will be sent to the selected user's device via push notification, email, or other method of their choice.
[1641] Example: Server (data transmission)
[1642] send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[1643] Terminal (data reception)
[1644] display_notification(message)
[1645] The shared user receives the message and responds.
[1646] The receiving user can read the notification and send an appropriate response, which is then sent back to the server and displayed to the original user.
[1647] Example: Another user (entered in the terminal)
[1648] response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better."
[1649] Terminal (data transmission)
[1650] encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[1651] Server (data reception & analysis)
[1652] decrypt(encrypted_response)
[1653] The original user receives feedback
[1654] The original user can read the response and provide further feedback, which is then passed back to the server and communicated to other users as needed.
[1655] Example: Original user (displayed on terminal)
[1656] display_response(response_message)
[1657] Original user (entered on the terminal)
[1658] additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[1659] Terminal (data transmission)
[1660] send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[1661] 4. Specific examples of implementation
[1662] For example, user A enters, "Something very sad happened today." This data is encrypted and sent to the server, where the emotion "sadness" is analyzed using natural language processing. The server then generates a message saying, "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him / her," and notifies user B. User B receives the notification and responds, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better." This response message is then sent back through the server and displayed to user A. This process allows users A and B to share their emotions at a deep level.
[1663] As described above, this system provides a means for users to effectively share their feelings and thoughts, promoting mutual understanding and empathy.
[1664] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1665] Step 1:
[1666] User enters emotion and text
[1667] The user inputs emotions and text into the interface that opens using the device. Emotions can be selected from options such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and thoughts and feelings can be freely entered into the text input field. For example, the user can input "Something very sad happened today."
[1668] User (typed on device): Emotion selection: "Sadness" Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[1669] Step 2:
[1670] The device sends the input data to the server
[1671] The entered emotion and text data are encrypted on the device and sent to the server using a network protocol (e.g., SSL / TLS).
[1672] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[1673] Server (receiving data): decrypt(encrypted_data)
[1674] Step 3:
[1675] The server analyzes the received data
[1676] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. The analysis engine extracts the level and type of emotion from the text and summarizes the results. For example, it may be analyzed that "sadness" is particularly strong. The analysis results are stored in a database.
[1677] Server(analysis): emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[1678] Server (saving analysis results): Database.save(user_id, emotion_analysis)
[1679] Step 4:
[1680] The server generates the appropriate message
[1681] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a default or customized feedback message, along with a notification message to share with other users. For example, a message like "My friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[1682] Server (Message generation): message = generateMessage(emotion_analysis)
[1683] Step 5:
[1684] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[1685] The generated messages and notifications are sent to other selected users via push notifications, email, or other methods depending on the user's settings.
[1686] Server (data sending): send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[1687] Device (receiving data): display_notification(message)
[1688] Step 6:
[1689] The person you shared with will receive the message
[1690] The receiving user reads the notification and, if necessary, prepares a reply message, which is sent again to the server and delivered to the original user.
[1691] Another user (typed on device): response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and clear things up."
[1692] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[1693] Server (receiving and analyzing data): decrypt(encrypted_response)
[1694] Step 7:
[1695] The original user receives feedback
[1696] The original user can read the response from the other user and provide further feedback, which will be resubmitted and notified to other users if necessary.
[1697] Original user (displayed on terminal): display_response(response_message)
[1698] Original user (typed on device): additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[1699] Terminal (data transmission): send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[1700] summary
[1701] Through these steps, the system allows users to share their thoughts and feelings in real time, fostering deep levels of mutual understanding and empathy. At each step, data encryption, analysis, and feedback loops function properly to achieve high-quality communication.

[1712] "Encryption" refers to the technical process used to secure user-entered data, typically using the SSL / TLS protocol.
[1713] "Decryption" refers to the process of restoring encrypted data to a readable state on the server side.
[1714] "Means of analysis" refers to the technology used by the server to process and analyze the data received and understand its meaning and sentiment.
[1715] "Natural language processing" refers to the AI technology used by servers to understand the meaning and sentiment of text, typically an NLP engine.
[1716] "Feedback message" refers to a response or notification to the user that the server generates based on the analysis results.
[1717] "User terminal" refers to the device through which a user accesses the system and inputs emotions and text, typically a smartphone or computer.
[1718] "Notification" refers to the communication method used to notify the user of server-generated feedback messages, including push notifications and email.

[1808] User A reads the response, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better," on the device, and enters and sends feedback such as, "Thank you, I feel a little better now." The device then encrypts the feedback and sends it to the server.
[1809] The above steps provide a detailed explanation of the processing flow of a system that allows users to share emotions and text and promote mutual understanding and empathy.
[1810] (Application example 1)
[1811] 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."
[1812] Current security systems face the challenge of being unable to immediately detect and respond to abnormal emotions and behaviors. In particular, when strengthening security at work or home, there are limited means of monitoring changes in the emotions and abnormalities of employees and residents in real time, making it difficult to prevent serious incidents.
[1813] 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.
[1814] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to input emotions and text, means for transmitting the user's input data, means for analyzing the received data, means for generating an optimal message based on the analysis results, means for transmitting the generated message to another user terminal, means for receiving a response from another user and displaying it to the original user, means for acquiring video and audio data, means for analyzing the acquired data in real time, and means for detecting abnormal emotions from the analysis results and generating a notification, thereby enabling abnormal emotions and behaviors to be detected quickly and appropriate measures to be taken.

[1824] Overall system configuration
[1825] This invention is a system designed to allow users to share their thoughts and feelings and deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The system is mainly composed of three main components: a user terminal, a server, and a database.
[1826] Hardware and Software Configuration
[1827] User terminal
[1828] The user terminal is equipped with an interface for inputting emotions and text, a camera and a microphone for collecting video and audio data, and a dedicated application installed on it, which transmits the data input by the user to a server.
[1829] server
[1830] The server uses an advanced natural language processing (NLP) engine and machine learning algorithms to analyze user input data in real time. The server has the following functions:
[1831] Parses the received data and generates the appropriate message.
[1832] Video and audio data is analyzed in real time to detect abnormal emotions.
[1833] The analysis results, generated messages, and notification contents are saved in a database.
[1834] Database
[1835] The database stores users' emotional data, past interactions, and analysis results, allowing it to compare with past data to more accurately detect abnormal emotions and generate appropriate feedback.
[1836] Specific examples of hardware and software used
[1837] Camera: A device for acquiring video data
[1838] Microphone: A device for collecting audio data
[1839] PC: A computer for analyzing video and audio data
[1840] NLP engine: Natural language processing (e.g. NLPEngine)
[1841] Communication protocol: Data encryption via SSL / TLS
[1842] How to operate the system
[1843] Users can input their feelings and thoughts using an interface for inputting emotions and text, and the system captures the user's video and audio data through a camera and microphone. This data is then encrypted and sent to a server.
[1844] The server analyzes the received data and generates an appropriate message or notification if it detects an abnormal emotion. The generated message is immediately sent to another user device. The user who receives this message can check the content of the notification and take appropriate action.
[1845] Specific examples
[1846] For example, if this system is implemented in a workplace security system, an employee can input "Something very sad happened today." This data is sent to the server along with video and audio data collected through cameras and microphones. The server analyzes this data in real time and generates a notification based on the analysis results saying, "An abnormal emotion has been detected. Please check immediately." This notification is then immediately sent to the security staff's device.
[1847] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1848] For example, you could use a prompt like, "We want to use emotion analysis to improve security in the workplace. Please propose an application that can quickly detect people's anger or fear and immediately notify security staff. Please also tell us the specific implementation method and technology used."
[1849] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1850] Step 1:
[1851] The user inputs emotions and text. The user inputs "Something very sad happened today" into a dedicated interface on the terminal. This input data includes the user's emotion options and text. Input: Emotion (sadness) and text (Something very sad happened today). Output: Input data.
[1852] Step 2:
[1853] The device sends the input data to the server. The device encrypts the input emotion and text data using the SSL / TLS protocol and then sends it to the server. Input: Emotion and text data. Output: Encrypted data.
[1854] Step 3:
[1855] The server decrypts and analyzes the received data. The server decrypts the received encrypted data and passes it to a natural language processing (NLP) engine for sentiment and text analysis. Input: Encrypted data. Output: Analysis results (e.g., "very sad").
[1856] Step 4:
[1857] The server generates the optimal message based on the analysis results. Based on the analysis results, the server automatically generates a recommended message such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to them." Input: Analysis results. Output: Generated message.
[1858] Step 5:
[1859] The server sends the generated message to another user's device. The server sends the generated message to another user's device. The sending method depends on the user's settings, such as push notification or email. Input: Generated message. Output: Notification to another user's device.
[1860] Step 6:
[1861] Another user receives the message and responds. Another user receives the message, types a response such as "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better," and sends it from their device. This response is encrypted and sent to the server. Input: Generated message. Output: Response message.
[1862] Step 7:
[1863] The server sends a response message to the original user. The server decrypts the received response message and sends it to the original user's terminal. Input: Response message. Output: Feedback message to the original user.
[1864] Step 8:
[1865] The original user receives the feedback. The original user receives the feedback message and can enter their own emotions and situation again if necessary to make a further response. Input: Feedback message. Output: New emotions and text data.
[1866] In this way, users can share their thoughts and feelings in real time, deepening mutual understanding and empathy.
[1867] 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.
[1868] 1. Overview
[1869] This invention is a system for sharing thoughts and emotions between users to deepen mutual understanding and empathy. The purpose is to reduce misunderstandings and conflicts by having users input their emotions and thoughts and then appropriately convey the analyzed data to other users. Furthermore, this invention combines an emotion engine to enhance the recognition of users' emotions.
[1870] 2. System Configuration
[1871] This system consists of a user terminal, a server, a database, and an emotion engine. The user terminal is equipped with input and receiving means, and the server is responsible for analyzing data and generating messages. The database stores the analysis results and past interactions, and the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions.
[1872] 3. Program Processing
[1873] The user enters emotions and text on the device
[1874] The user inputs emotions and text through the interface. The emotions are analyzed in real time by the emotion engine. The emotion engine integrates the selected emotion, text input, voice input, and facial expression analysis using facial recognition to determine a comprehensive emotion. For example, if a user inputs "Something very sad happened today," the emotion engine will recognize that the emotion "sadness" is strong.
[1875] Example: User (entered on the terminal)
[1876] Emotion selection: "Sadness"
[1877] Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[1878] The device sends the input data to the server
[1879] The entered emotion and text data is encrypted on the device and then sent to the server using the SSL / TLS protocol.
[1880] Example: Terminal (data transmission)
[1881] encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[1882] Server (data reception)
[1883] decrypt(encrypted_data)
[1884] The server analyzes the received data
[1885] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine for emotion and text analysis. The analysis engine extracts emotions from the text in real time, and the emotion engine performs a comprehensive emotion determination by combining facial recognition and voice analysis. For example, it may be analyzed that "sadness" is particularly strong. The analysis results are stored in a database and compared with past data.
[1886] Example: Server (analysis)
[1887] emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[1888] comprehensive_emotion = EmotionEngine.combine_audio_visual(emotion_analysis)
[1889] Server (storing analysis results)
[1890] Database.save(user_id, comprehensive_emotion)
[1891] The server generates the appropriate message
[1892] Based on the analysis results, the server generates appropriate feedback and notification messages for the user, such as "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him."
[1893] Example: Server (message generation)
[1894] message = generateMessage(comprehensive_emotion)
[1895] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[1896] The generated messages and notifications will be sent to the selected other users' devices via push notifications, emails, or other methods set by the user.
[1897] Example: Server (data transmission)
[1898] send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[1899] Terminal (data reception)
[1900] display_notification(message)
[1901] The person you shared with will receive the message
[1902] The receiving user reads the notification, prepares a response message if necessary, and sends it to the server via the terminal, which then sends the message back to the server and delivers it to the original user.
[1903] Example: Another user (entered in the terminal)
[1904] response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better."
[1905] Terminal (data transmission)
[1906] encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[1907] Server (data reception & analysis)
[1908] decrypt(encrypted_response)
[1909] The original user receives feedback
[1910] The original user can read the response from the other user and provide further feedback, which will be resubmitted and notified to other users as needed.
[1911] Example: Original user (displayed on terminal)
[1912] display_response(response_message)
[1913] Original user (entered on the terminal)
[1914] additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[1915] Terminal (data transmission)
[1916] send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[1917] 4. Specific examples of implementation
[1918] For example, if user A enters "Something very sad happened today," the emotion engine will determine this as "sadness." This data is encrypted and sent to the server, where it is analyzed by natural language processing and the emotion engine. The server then generates a message saying, "My friend is very sad. Please say some kind words to him / her," and notifies user B. User B receives the notification and responds, "What happened today? Let's talk and feel better." This response message is then displayed to user A via the server again. Through this process, users A and B share their emotions at a deep level, promoting mutual understanding and empathy.
[1919] As described above, the system of the present invention provides an embodiment that effectively shares users' emotions and thoughts and combines advanced emotion recognition technology, improving the quality of communication between users and facilitating the sharing of emotions.
[1920] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1921] Step 1:
[1922] User enters emotion and text
[1923] The user inputs emotions and text through the device's interface. Emotions can be selected from options such as "joy," "sadness," and "anger," and thoughts and feelings can be freely entered in the text entry field. Furthermore, facial expressions can be captured using voice input or a camera, if necessary. For example, a user can select the emotion of sadness along with the text "Something very sad happened today."
[1924] User (typed on device): Emotion selection: "Sadness" Text: "Something very sad happened today."
[1925] Step 2:
[1926] The device sends the input data to the server
[1927] The input emotion and text data, as well as audio and image data, are encrypted on the device and sent to the server using the SSL / TLS protocol.
[1928] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_data = SSL / TLS(user_input)
[1929] Server (receiving data): decrypt(encrypted_data)
[1930] Step 3:
[1931] The server analyzes the received data
[1932] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine for analysis. The natural language processing engine extracts emotions from the text, and the emotion engine performs voice analysis and facial recognition to comprehensively determine emotions. For example, text analysis may recognize strong "sadness," voice analysis may sense "sadness" from a low tone, and facial recognition may detect traces of tears.
[1933] Server(analysis): emotion_analysis = NLPEngine.analyze_emotion(user_input)
[1934] comprehensive_emotion = EmotionEngine.combine_audio_visual(emotion_analysis)
[1935] Server (saving analysis results): Database.save(user_id, comprehensive_emotion)
[1936] Step 4:
[1937] The server generates the appropriate message
[1938] Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate feedback or notification message, such as "Your friend is very sad. Please say something kind to him / her."
[1939] Server (Message generation): message = generateMessage(comprehensive_emotion)
[1940] Step 5:
[1941] The server sends a message to another user's device.
[1942] The generated messages and notifications are sent to the selected users' devices via push notifications or emails, depending on the recipient's settings.
[1943] Server (data sending): send_notification(recipient_id, message)
[1944] Device (receiving data): display_notification(message)
[1945] Step 6:
[1946] The person you shared with will receive the message
[1947] The recipient user reads the notification, prepares a response message if necessary, and sends it from the terminal to the server, where it is again encrypted and sent to the server.
[1948] Another user (typed on device): response_message = "What happened today? Let's talk and clear things up."
[1949] Terminal (data transmission): encrypted_response = SSL / TLS(response_message)
[1950] Server (receiving and analyzing data): decrypt(encrypted_response)
[1951] Step 7:
[1952] The original user receives feedback
[1953] The original user can read the reply message from the other user and send additional feedback, which is then passed through the server again and may be notified to other users if necessary.
[1954] Original user (displayed on terminal): display_response(response_message)
[1955] Original user (typed on device): additional_feedback = "Thanks, I feel a little better now."
[1956] Terminal (data transmission): send_feedback(additional_feedback)
[1957] summary
[1958] Through these steps, the system allows users to share their thoughts and feelings in real time, fostering a deep level of mutual understanding and empathy. At each step, data encryption, analysis, and feedback loops function properly to achieve high-quality communication.

[2067] System configuration
[2068] 1. User terminal: The user terminal provides an interface for the worker to input emotions and text. The emotion engine performs emotion analysis in real time, and the input data is sent to the server.
[2069] 2. Server: The server receives the data sent by the user and performs data analysis. Specifically, it performs sentiment analysis using a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine, and generates appropriate messages and feedback based on the analysis results.
[2070] 3. Database: Includes a database for storing analysis results and past interactions, allowing historical data reference.
[2071] 4. Emotion engine: The emotion engine combines voice analysis, facial expression analysis, and text analysis to determine overall emotions.
[2072] Program processing
[2073] This system uses the following hardware and software:
[2074] Hardware:
[2075] Camera: for facial expression analysis
[2076] Microphone: For voice input
[2077] Computer: Data analysis and notification generation
[2078] software:
[2079] OpenCV: Camera image processing
[2080] EmotionEngine: Emotion recognition
[2081] NLPEngine: Text Analysis
[2082] Notification: Notification system
[2083] Processing flow and data calculation
[2084] 1. User input:
[2085] The user inputs emotions and text using the device, and the emotion engine analyzes the emotions in real time and sends the data to the server.
[2086] 2. Data transmission:
[2087] The data entered by the user is encrypted before being sent to the server. The SSL / TLS protocol is used.
[2088] 3. Data Analysis:
[2089] The server passes the received data to a natural language processing (NLP) engine and an emotion engine to perform emotion analysis and text analysis. The analysis results are stored in a database.
[2090] 4. Message Creation:
[2091] The server generates an appropriate feedback message for the user based on the analysis results. For example, if the emotion is determined to be "fatigue," an appropriate message (e.g., "You should take a break") is generated.
[2092] 5. Sending a message:
[2093] The server then sends the generated message to another user device via push notification, email, or other methods based on the user's settings.
[2094] 6. Receiving Response:
[2095] A response from another user is received and displayed to the original user.
[2096] Specific examples and prompts for the generative AI model
[2097] The system works as follows:
[2098] Examples:
[2099] The worker inputs "I'm tired," and the camera and microphone capture the situation. The results determine "fatigue" and "stress." The robot then notifies the worker, saying, "It's time to take a break."
[2100] Example prompt sentence:
[2101] "Worker has been detected as 'tired' based on facial expression, voice tone, and text input. Generate a notification to the worker suggesting a break."
[2102] This system makes it possible to grasp the emotions and state of workers in real time and provide appropriate feedback and support.
[2103] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[2104] Step 1:
[2105] The user inputs emotions and text into the device. The input interface provides a text box and an emotion selection menu, and is also linked to a camera that detects facial expressions and a microphone that captures voice. The user's input includes the text data "Tired" and the emotion data "Tired," which are then analyzed in real time by the emotion engine.
[2106] Step 2:
[2107] The device encrypts the input emotion and text data and sends it to the server. The encryption uses the SSL / TLS protocol. If the input data is "tired" and "tired," the server receives it after encryption.
[2108] Step 3:
[2109] The server decrypts the received encrypted data and begins data analysis. The decrypted data is passed to a natural language processing (NLP) engine, which analyzes the text data "Tired." At the same time, the emotion engine analyzes the voice and facial expression data to determine a comprehensive emotion. For example, it may determine that "Tired" is very strong.
[2110] Step 4:
[2111] The server generates an appropriate message based on the analysis results. For example, if the result of emotion analysis is "fatigue," it generates a feedback message saying, "You should take a break." The analysis results and the generated message are stored in a database.
[2112] Step 5:
[2113] The server then sends the generated message to the worker using an appropriate notification method, such as push notification or email, and depending on the settings, a notification such as "It's best to take a break" is displayed on the worker's device.
[2114] Step 6:
[2115] The worker receives the notification and inputs a response, for example, "I'll continue working a little longer." This input data is then re-encrypted and sent to the server.
[2116] Step 7:
[2117] The server receives, decodes, and analyzes the worker's response, and determines how to address the original feedback using the results of the analysis, in this case generating a message to encourage further support.
[2118] Step 8:
[2119] The generated additional feedback message is then sent to the original worker. For example, a message saying, "Please take regular breaks and don't overexert yourself" is sent to the worker again. This process is repeated to manage the worker's health and work efficiency.
[2120] In this way, a system is realized that can grasp the emotions and state of the worker in real time and provide appropriate feedback.
[2121] 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.
[2122] 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.
[2123] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[2124] 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.
[2125] 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.
[2126] 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.
[2127] 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).
[2128] 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.
[2129] 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."
[2130] 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.
[2131] 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).
[2132] 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.
[2133] 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.
[2134] 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.
[2135] 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.
[2136] 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.
[2137] 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.
[2138] 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.
[2139] 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.
