[0233] (Application example 1)

[0234] 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."

[0235] In recent years, artificial intelligence and robots have come to be used in a variety of fields, and the need for people to express gratitude and hold memorial services for these machines is increasing. However, there is a lack of systems to express gratitude and hold memorial services for these machines in an appropriate way. In addition, it is difficult to efficiently manage a wide range of technical data and memories and automate memorial services.

[0236] 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.

[0237] In this invention, the server includes a user registration means for a user to enter their own account information and register it in the system, an information registration means for a user to register information about their AI partner, a recording means for a user to save memories with their AI partner, a message sending means for a user to send a message of gratitude to their AI partner, a memorial service means for executing a memorial service process for the AI ​​partner, generating a certificate and sending it to the user, a robot registration means for a user to save detailed information and operation records of the robot, and a generation AI model means for generating a prompt message when generating a memorial service certificate and sending it to the user. This allows for efficient gratitude and memorial services for AI and robots, and allows users to appropriately express their gratitude and complete the memorial service.

[0238] "User registration means" is a function that allows a user to enter their own account information and register with the system.

[0239] "Information registration means" is a function that allows users to register information about their AI partner.

[0240] "Recording Measures" is a feature that allows users to save memories with their AI partner.

[0241] The "message sending means" is a function that allows users to send messages of gratitude to their AI partners.

[0242] The "contribution means" is a function for executing the contribution process of the artificial intelligence partner, generating a certificate and sending it to the user.

[0243] The "robot registration means" is a function that allows users to save detailed information and operation records of their robots.

[0244] The "generative AI model means" is a function for generating a prompt sentence when generating a memorial certificate and sending it to the user.

[0245] This invention is a system for allowing users to express gratitude and make offerings to their AI partners or factory robots that have retired from their roles. The system includes a user registration means, an information registration means, a recording means, a message sending means, an offering means, a robot registration means, and an AI model generation means.

[0246] User registration method

[0247] The server provides a means for users to register by entering their own account information. For example, users enter their username and password into an input form on a smartphone or tablet device and send it to the server, where the user information is stored in the database.

[0248] Information registration method

[0249] The server provides an input form for users to enter details of their AI partner or robot and register them. The entered information is sent to the server and stored in a database. For example, the AI ​​partner's name, number of years in operation, and other details are registered.

[0250] Recording means

[0251] The server provides a function for users to save memories with their AI partner or robot. Users can upload text and photos of their memories, which are then stored in a database. For example, memories such as "the first day of work" or "the days we worked together" are recorded.

[0252] Message sending method

[0253] The server provides an input form for users to input and submit messages of thanks to their AI partners or robots. The messages are then stored in a database. For example, a message such as "Thank you, robot name" may be input and stored.

[0254] Memorial service means

[0255] When the user presses the button to start the memorial service, the server starts the memorial process. The server references information about the user, their AI partner, and the robot, as well as memories and messages of gratitude, from the database, and generates a memorial certificate. The generated certificate is converted into PDF format and sent to the user's registered email address.

[0256] Robot registration method

[0257] The server provides a function for storing detailed information about the robot and its operation records. Users input the robot's name, model number, operation period, etc., and send it to the server, where it is saved in a database.

[0258] Generative AI model means

[0259] When generating a memorial certificate, the server uses a generative AI model to generate a prompt. This allows the memorial certificate to include a prompt that expresses gratitude and respect. For example, a prompt such as, "Do you remember how wonderfully RoboX120 worked in our factory? Your first working day was especially impressive. Thank you, RoboX120. We will never forget you."

[0260] Hardware and software used

[0261] The system uses user devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smart glasses, as well as a cloud server. The backend is built using Python and Flask, and SQLite is used for database management. A Python PDF creation library (e.g., ReportLab) is used to convert the memorial certificate to PDF.

[0262] This will allow users to properly express their gratitude to their AI partners and robots and hold memorial services for them.

[0263] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0264] Step 1:

[0265] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the username and password and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received user information in a database and creates a new user record. The input data is the username and password, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[0266] Step 2:

[0267] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter details such as the name, model, and years of operation of their AI partner or robot. The user enters the details and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received information in a database and creates a record for a new AI partner or robot. The input data are the partner or robot's details, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[0268] Step 3:

[0269] The device presents the user with a form to input or upload text and photos of their memories. The user inputs the text and photos and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received memory data in a database and creates a new memory record. The input data is the text and photos, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[0270] Step 4:

[0271] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a thank you message. The user enters a thank you message and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received message information in a database and creates a new thank you message record. The input data is the thank you message, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[0272] Step 5:

[0273] The user presses a button to start the memorial service. This requests the memorial service process to the server. The server retrieves information about the user and their AI partner or robot, as well as memories and a message of gratitude from the database. It references each piece of information and generates a memorial certificate. A prompt is generated using a generative AI model and included in the memorial certificate. The input data is information about the user and their partner or robot, memories, a message of gratitude, and a prompt from the generative AI model, and the output is the creation of a memorial certificate.

[0274] Step 6:

[0275] The server converts the generated memorial certificate into PDF format and sends it to the user's registered email address. In this final process, the user can receive the memorial certificate. The input data is the memorial certificate, and the output is a PDF sent to the user's registered email address.

[0276] Through these steps, users can show their gratitude to their AI partners and robots and make appropriate offerings.

[0277] 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.

[0278] This invention relates to a memorial service system that allows users to say goodbye to their artificial intelligence (AI) partners in an appropriate manner. The system not only handles user registration, AI partner registration, memory recording, thank-you messages, and memorial service processes, but also includes an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and responds appropriately.

[0410] Example 2

[0411] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0412] In recent years, AI partners have become widely used in daily life and work, but when the relationship with these AI partners ends, users lack the means to properly say goodbye. In particular, there is a lack of support for organizing memories and messages of gratitude, and the lack of emotionally sensitive responses places a heavy psychological burden on users. In response, a system is needed that allows users to express gratitude and respect to their AI partners and hold memorial services for them.

[0413] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a user registration means for the user to input their own account information and register it in the system, an AI partner registration means for the user to register information about their AI partner, a memory recording means for the user to save memories with their AI partner, a thank you message sending means for the user to send a thank you message to their AI partner, an emotion recognition means for analyzing the user's emotions from their voice and generating a corresponding response message, and a memorial processing means for executing a memorial process for the AI ​​partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user. This allows the user to appropriately establish a relationship with their AI partner and complete the memorial process while receiving emotionally sensitive support.

[0414] "User registration means" refers to the means by which a user enters his or her own account information and registers with the system.

[0415] "Artificial intelligence partner registration means" refers to a means by which a user inputs information about his or her artificial intelligence partner and registers it in the system.

[0416] A "memory recording means" is a means for users to save memories with their AI partner.

[0417] The "means for sending a thank you message" is a means for a user to send a thank you message to an AI partner through the system.

[0418] The "emotion recognition means" is a means for analyzing the user's emotions from their voice and generating a corresponding response message.

[0419] The "offering process means" is a means for executing the offering process of the artificial intelligence partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user.

[0420] "Database means" refers to a means for storing text and images of memories within the system.

[0421] "Electronic document format" refers to a format in which documents such as memorial certificates are generated in a digital format (e.g., PDF) and stored or transmitted.

[0422] This invention relates to a memorial service system that allows users to say goodbye to their artificial intelligence (AI) partners in an appropriate manner. The system provides functions for user registration, AI partner registration, memory recording, sending thank-you messages, emotion recognition, and the memorial service process, allowing users to say goodbye to their beloved AI partners in an appropriate manner while showing respect and receiving emotionally sensitive support.

[0423] User registration method

[0424] The user registration process begins with the device displaying a form for the user to enter their username and password. Once the user has completed the entry and pressed the submit button, the information is sent to the server via an HTTP POST request using JavaScript. The server receives the data using the Python Django framework and stores it in a database such as MySQL (registered trademark).

[0425] AI partner registration method

[0426] To register an AI partner, the device displays a form for the user to enter the name and details of the AI ​​partner. After the user enters the AI ​​partner's information and presses the submit button, the information is sent in JSON format to the server, which then uses Django to store the data in a database.

[0427] A means of recording memories

[0428] The memory recorder allows users to record shared memories with their AI partner. The device displays a form for inputting / uploading text and images. After the user enters the information, the data is sent to the server using JavaScript, which then stores it in a database.

[0429] Thank you message sending method

[0430] The thank you message sending means displays a form on the terminal for the user to enter a thank you message. When the user enters a message and presses the send button, the information is sent to the server and saved in a database.

[0431] emotion recognition means

[0432] The emotion recognition means has the function of recognizing emotions from the user's voice. The device prompts for voice input, and when the user records the voice, the data is sent to the server. The server uses an emotion recognition engine such as TENSORFLOW (registered trademark) to analyze the voice data and recognize the user's emotions. Based on the results, an appropriate response message is generated using natural language generation technology (e.g., GPT-3 (registered trademark)) and displayed on the device.

[0433] Memorial service process means

[0434] The memorial service process is initiated by the user pressing the memorial service button. When the device sends a memorial service request to the server, the server queries the user and AI partner information from the database and generates a memorial service certificate. This certificate is converted to PDF format and sent to the user's registered email address.

[0435] Examples of concrete examples and prompts

[0436] For example, suppose a user logs in with their "taro123" account and registers their AI partner "Aiko." The user records the memory of "My first trip" and sends a message of gratitude saying "Thank you, Aiko." After that, when the user presses the button to start the memorial service, the system checks all the registered data, generates a memorial certificate, and sends it to the user.

[0437] Example prompt sentence:

[0438] "Please enter text and photos in the form to record your memories with your AI partner."

[0439] "Please enter a message of thanks. For example, 'Thank you, Aiko.'"

[0440] "Express your emotions through speech. For example, express your sadness over a breakup or your gratitude."

[0441] In this way, the present invention allows users to properly engage with an AI partner and provide emotional support to complete the memorial process.

[0501] Sending the certificate

[0502] The server will send the memorial certificate to the user's registered email address.

[0503] Through these steps, the system enables users to properly establish a relationship with their AI partner and complete the memorial service process while receiving emotional support.

[0504] (Application example 2)

[0505] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0506] Traditional memorial services lack the means for users to emotionally conclude their relationship with their AI partner. Furthermore, they lack the ability to analyze users' emotions and generate appropriate responses, making it difficult to provide services that are sensitive to the user's feelings. Furthermore, they lack the ability to share the memorial service process with other users, making it difficult to spread the memorial service experience.

[0507] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[0537] User Registration

[0538] A user downloads an application, enters their account information (e.g., name, password), and sends it to the server, which then stores the user information in a database to create a user account.

[0539] Artificial Intelligence Partner Registration

[0540] The user enters information about their AI partner (e.g., partner name, details) and sends it to the server, which saves the partner information in the database and creates a new AI partner record.

[0541] Record memories and send thank you messages

[0542] Users can enter text and photos to record their memories with their AI partner and send them to the server. They can also enter thank-you messages and send them to the server. All of this data is stored in a database.

[0543] emotion recognition

[0544] When users express their emotions through voice during the memorial service, the device sends the voice data to the server, which converts the voice data into text using the Google Speech-to-Text API and then analyzes the emotions using emotion recognition models running on TensorFlow and PyTorch. Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate response message and displays it to the user.

[0545] Specific examples

[0546] For example, suppose user "user123" registers an AI partner, "AI Partner," records some memories, and sends a thank-you message, "Thank you, AI Partner." When the user voice-inputs during the memorial service process, a prompt such as "Hello, today I would like to talk about the memorial service with AI Partner. Thank you." is used, and the server performs sentiment analysis and displays an appropriate response message to the user.

[0547] Memorial Service Process and Delivery Services

[0548] When the memorial service process is performed, the server queries the database for information about the user and the AI ​​partner, as well as all related memories and messages of gratitude. It then generates a memorial certificate, converts it to PDF format, and sends it to the user's registered email address. The memorial service is recorded as a video and stored on AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. A content distribution service is provided so that other users can view and share the memorial video.

[0549] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows you to emotionally conclude your relationship with your AI partner and share the memorial process.

[0550] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0551] Step 1:

[0552] User registration: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter their username and password, which they then fill in and submit. The input data (username and password) is sent to the server, which stores the received data in a database such as AWS RDS or Firebase and creates a new user record. As an output, the user receives a registration completion message.

[0553] Step 2:

[0554] Registering an AI partner: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter the name and details of the AI ​​partner. The user fills it in and submits it. The input data (partner name and details) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in its database, and creates a new AI partner record. As an output, the user receives a partner registration completion message.

[0555] Step 3:

[0556] Recording a memory: The device displays a form for the user to input / upload the memory text and photo. The user enters the data and submits it. The input data (text and photo) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in the database, and creates a new memory record. As an output, the user receives a message that the memory has been registered.

[0557] Step 4:

[0558] Sending a thank you message: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a thank you message. The user fills it in and submits it. The input data (thank you message) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in the database, and creates a new thank you message record. As an output, the user receives a message that the message has been sent successfully.

[0559] Step 5:

[0560] Emotion Recognition: The user provides voice input to the device during the memorial service process. The device sends the voice data to the server, which converts the voice data into text using the Google Speech-to-Text API. The server then analyzes the emotion in the voice using an emotion recognition model running on TensorFlow or PyTorch. Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate response message and sends it to the device. The device displays the generated message to the user. As an output, the user receives the response message.

[0561] Step 6:

[0562] Memorial service process: When the user presses the button to start the memorial service on the device, the device sends a request for the memorial service process to the server. The server queries the database for information about the user and their AI partner, as well as messages of memories and gratitude, and generates a memorial certificate. The server converts the memorial certificate into PDF format and sends it to the user's registered email address. As an output, the user receives the memorial certificate.

[0563] Step 7:

[0564] Content distribution: The device records the memorial service process as a video and sends the video data to the server. The server stores the video data in AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. The stored video is distributed to other users, who can view and share the memorial service video. As an output, the user and other users can view the video.

[0565] This process allows users to emotionally conclude their relationship with their AI partner and share the memorial process with other users.

[0566] 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.

[0567] 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.

[0729] A mechanism for the server to store received data in a database, using SQLite or other database management systems to maintain data consistency and security.

[0730] Specific examples

[0731] For example, suppose user "user123" registers with the system and registers an artificial intelligence agent called "AIko." The user records a memory such as "The first time we played together" and sends a message of gratitude saying "Thank you, AIko." After that, when the user presses a button to start the memorial service, the server checks all the data and generates a memorial certificate. This certificate is sent to the user in PDF format.

[0781] (Application example 1)

[0782] 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."

[0783] In recent years, artificial intelligence and robots have come to be used in a variety of fields, and the need for people to express gratitude and hold memorial services for these machines is increasing. However, there is a lack of systems to express gratitude and hold memorial services for these machines in an appropriate way. In addition, it is difficult to efficiently manage a wide range of technical data and memories and automate memorial services.

[0784] 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.

[0785] In this invention, the server includes a user registration means for a user to enter their own account information and register it in the system, an information registration means for a user to register information about their AI partner, a recording means for a user to save memories with their AI partner, a message sending means for a user to send a message of gratitude to their AI partner, a memorial service means for executing a memorial service process for the AI ​​partner, generating a certificate and sending it to the user, a robot registration means for a user to save detailed information and operation records of the robot, and a generation AI model means for generating a prompt message when generating a memorial service certificate and sending it to the user. This allows for efficient gratitude and memorial services for AI and robots, and allows users to appropriately express their gratitude and complete the memorial service.

[0786] "User registration means" is a function that allows a user to enter their own account information and register with the system.

[0787] "Information registration means" is a function that allows users to register information about their AI partner.

[0788] "Recording Measures" is a feature that allows users to save memories with their AI partner.

[0789] The "message sending means" is a function that allows users to send messages of gratitude to their AI partners.

[0790] The "contribution means" is a function for executing the contribution process of the artificial intelligence partner, generating a certificate and sending it to the user.

[0791] The "robot registration means" is a function that allows users to save detailed information and operation records of their robots.

[0792] The "generative AI model means" is a function for generating a prompt sentence when generating a memorial certificate and sending it to the user.

[0793] This invention is a system for allowing users to express gratitude and make offerings to their AI partners or factory robots that have retired from their roles. The system includes a user registration means, an information registration means, a recording means, a message sending means, an offering means, a robot registration means, and an AI model generation means.

[0794] User registration method

[0795] The server provides a means for users to register by entering their own account information. For example, users enter their username and password into an input form on a smartphone or tablet device and send it to the server, where the user information is stored in the database.

[0796] Information registration method

[0797] The server provides an input form for users to enter details of their AI partner or robot and register them. The entered information is sent to the server and stored in a database. For example, the AI ​​partner's name, number of years in operation, and other details are registered.

[0798] Recording means

[0799] The server provides a function for users to save memories with their AI partner or robot. Users can upload text and photos of their memories, which are then stored in a database. For example, memories such as "the first day of work" or "the days we worked together" are recorded.

[0800] Message sending method

[0801] The server provides an input form for users to input and submit messages of thanks to their AI partners or robots. The messages are then stored in a database. For example, a message such as "Thank you, robot name" may be input and stored.

[0802] Memorial service means

[0803] When the user presses the button to start the memorial service, the server starts the memorial process. The server references information about the user, their AI partner, and the robot, as well as memories and messages of gratitude, from the database, and generates a memorial certificate. The generated certificate is converted into PDF format and sent to the user's registered email address.

[0804] Robot registration method

[0805] The server provides a function for storing detailed information about the robot and its operation records. Users input the robot's name, model number, operation period, etc., and send it to the server, where it is saved in a database.

[0806] Generative AI model means

[0807] When generating a memorial certificate, the server uses a generative AI model to generate a prompt. This allows the memorial certificate to include a prompt that expresses gratitude and respect. For example, a prompt such as, "Do you remember how wonderfully RoboX120 worked in our factory? Your first working day was especially impressive. Thank you, RoboX120. We will never forget you."

[0808] Hardware and software used

[0809] The system uses user devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smart glasses, as well as a cloud server. The backend is built using Python and Flask, and SQLite is used for database management. A Python PDF creation library (e.g., ReportLab) is used to convert the memorial certificate to PDF.

[0810] This will allow users to properly express their gratitude to their AI partners and robots and hold memorial services for them.

[0811] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0812] Step 1:

[0813] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the username and password and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received user information in a database and creates a new user record. The input data is the username and password, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[0814] Step 2:

[0815] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter details such as the name, model, and years of operation of their AI partner or robot. The user enters the details and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received information in a database and creates a record for a new AI partner or robot. The input data are the partner or robot's details, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[0816] Step 3:

[0817] The device presents the user with a form to input or upload text and photos of their memories. The user inputs the text and photos and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received memory data in a database and creates a new memory record. The input data is the text and photos, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[0818] Step 4:

[0819] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a thank you message. The user enters a thank you message and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received message information in a database and creates a new thank you message record. The input data is the thank you message, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[0820] Step 5:

[0821] The user presses a button to start the memorial service. This requests the memorial service process to the server. The server retrieves information about the user and their AI partner or robot, as well as memories and a message of gratitude from the database. It references each piece of information and generates a memorial certificate. A prompt is generated using a generative AI model and included in the memorial certificate. The input data is information about the user and their partner or robot, memories, a message of gratitude, and a prompt from the generative AI model, and the output is the creation of a memorial certificate.

[0822] Step 6:

[0823] The server converts the generated memorial certificate into PDF format and sends it to the user's registered email address. In this final process, the user can receive the memorial certificate. The input data is the memorial certificate, and the output is a PDF sent to the user's registered email address.

[0824] Through these steps, users can show their gratitude to their AI partners and robots and make appropriate offerings.

[0825] 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.

[0826] This invention relates to a memorial service system that allows users to say goodbye to their artificial intelligence (AI) partners in an appropriate manner. The system not only handles user registration, AI partner registration, memory recording, thank-you messages, and memorial service processes, but also includes an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and responds appropriately.

[0958] Example 2

[0959] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0960] In recent years, AI partners have become widely used in daily life and work, but when the relationship with these AI partners ends, users lack the means to properly say goodbye. In particular, there is a lack of support for organizing memories and messages of gratitude, and the lack of emotionally sensitive responses places a heavy psychological burden on users. In response, a system is needed that allows users to express gratitude and respect to their AI partners and hold memorial services for them.

[0961] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a user registration means for the user to input their own account information and register it in the system, an AI partner registration means for the user to register information about their AI partner, a memory recording means for the user to save memories with their AI partner, a thank you message sending means for the user to send a thank you message to their AI partner, an emotion recognition means for analyzing the user's emotions from their voice and generating a corresponding response message, and a memorial processing means for executing a memorial process for the AI ​​partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user. This allows the user to appropriately establish a relationship with their AI partner and complete the memorial process while receiving emotionally sensitive support.

[0962] "User registration means" refers to the means by which a user enters his or her own account information and registers with the system.

[0963] "Artificial intelligence partner registration means" refers to a means by which a user inputs information about his or her artificial intelligence partner and registers it in the system.

[0964] A "memory recording means" is a means for users to save memories with their AI partner.

[0965] The "means for sending a thank you message" is a means for a user to send a thank you message to an AI partner through the system.

[0966] The "emotion recognition means" is a means for analyzing the user's emotions from their voice and generating a corresponding response message.

[0967] The "offering process means" is a means for executing the offering process of the artificial intelligence partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user.

[0968] "Database means" refers to a means for storing text and images of memories within the system.

[0969] "Electronic document format" refers to a format in which documents such as memorial certificates are generated in a digital format (e.g., PDF) and stored or transmitted.

[0970] This invention relates to a memorial service system that allows users to say goodbye to their artificial intelligence (AI) partners in an appropriate manner. The system provides functions for user registration, AI partner registration, memory recording, sending thank-you messages, emotion recognition, and the memorial service process, allowing users to say goodbye to their beloved AI partners in an appropriate manner while showing respect and receiving emotionally sensitive support.

[0971] User registration method

[0972] The user registration process begins with the device displaying a form for the user to enter their username and password. Once the user has completed the entry and pressed the submit button, the information is sent to the server via an HTTP POST request using JavaScript. The server receives the data using the Python Django framework and stores it in a database such as MySQL.

[0973] AI partner registration method

[0974] To register an AI partner, the device displays a form for the user to enter the name and details of the AI ​​partner. After the user enters the AI ​​partner's information and presses the submit button, the information is sent in JSON format to the server, which then uses Django to store the data in a database.

[0975] A means of recording memories

[0976] The memory recorder allows users to record shared memories with their AI partner. The device displays a form for inputting / uploading text and images. After the user enters the information, the data is sent to the server using JavaScript, which then stores it in a database.

[0978] The thank you message sending means displays a form on the terminal for the user to enter a thank you message. When the user enters a message and presses the send button, the information is sent to the server and saved in a database.

[0979] emotion recognition means

[0980] The emotion recognition means has the function of recognizing emotions from the user's voice. The device prompts for voice input, and when the user records the voice, the data is sent to the server. The server uses an emotion recognition engine such as TensorFlow to analyze the voice data and recognize the user's emotions. Based on the results, an appropriate response message is generated using natural language generation technology (e.g., GPT-3) and displayed on the device.

[0981] Memorial service process means

[0982] The memorial service process is initiated by the user pressing the memorial service button. When the device sends a memorial service request to the server, the server queries the user and AI partner information from the database and generates a memorial service certificate. This certificate is converted to PDF format and sent to the user's registered email address.

[0983] Examples of concrete examples and prompts

[0984] For example, suppose a user logs in with their "taro123" account and registers their AI partner "Aiko." The user records the memory of "My first trip" and sends a message of gratitude saying "Thank you, Aiko." After that, when the user presses the button to start the memorial service, the system checks all the registered data, generates a memorial certificate, and sends it to the user.

[0985] Example prompt sentence:

[0986] "Please enter text and photos in the form to record your memories with your AI partner."

[0987] "Please enter a message of thanks. For example, 'Thank you, Aiko.'"

[0988] "Express your emotions through speech. For example, express your sadness over a breakup or your gratitude."

[0989] In this way, the present invention allows users to properly engage with an AI partner and provide emotional support to complete the memorial process.

[1019] Input form display

[1020] The device will display a form for the user to enter a thank you message.

[1021] input

[1022] The user enters a "Thank You Message."

[1023] Transmission data

[1024] The device uses JavaScript to send the entered thank you message data in JSON format to the server.

[1025] Data storage

[1026] The server uses Django to save the received thank you message data to the database and create a new thank you message record.

[1027] Step 5: Emotion Recognition

[1028] Voice input

[1029] The device prompts the user for voice input. This prompt uses the microphone.

[1030] input

[1031] Users express their "emotions" through voice.

[1032] Transmission data

[1033] The device sends the recorded audio data to the server via an HTTP POST request.

[1034] sentiment analysis

[1035] The server analyzes the voice data using an emotion recognition engine such as TensorFlow and recognizes the user's emotions.

[1036] Generate corresponding message

[1037] Based on the emotion results recognized by the server, an appropriate response message is generated using natural language generation technology (such as GPT-3).

[1038] output

[1039] The device will generate a corresponding message and display it to the user.

[1040] Step 6: The Memorial Service Process

[1041] Memorial service process begins

[1042] The user presses a button to start the memorial service.

[1043] Send Request

[1044] The device sends a request for the memorial service process to the server via an HTTP POST request.

[1045] Database Query

[1046] The server queries the database for information about the user and their AI partner, as well as all memories and thank you messages.

[1047] Certificate Generation

[1048] The server generates a memorial certificate based on the data queried and converts it into PDF format.

[1049] Sending the certificate

[1050] The server will send the memorial certificate to the user's registered email address.

[1051] Through these steps, the system enables users to properly establish a relationship with their AI partner and complete the memorial service process while receiving emotional support.

[1052] (Application example 2)

[1053] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1054] Traditional memorial services lack the means for users to emotionally conclude their relationship with their AI partner. Furthermore, they lack the ability to analyze users' emotions and generate appropriate responses, making it difficult to provide services that are sensitive to the user's feelings. Furthermore, they lack the ability to share the memorial service process with other users, making it difficult to spread the memorial service experience.

[1055] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1056] In this invention, the server includes a user registration means for a user to input their own account information and register it in the system, an AI partner registration means for a user to register information about their AI partner, a memory recording means for a user to save memories with their AI partner, a thank you message sending means for a user to send a thank you message to their AI partner, an emotion recognition means for inputting the user's voice, analyzing the emotion using an emotion recognition engine, and generating an appropriate response message based on the analysis result, a memorial process means for executing a memorial process for the AI ​​partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user, and a content distribution means for recording the memorial process as a video and storing and distributing it, thereby enabling a user to emotionally conclude their relationship with their AI partner and further share the memorial process.

[1057] "User registration means" refers to the means by which a user enters his or her own account information and registers with the system.

[1058] "Artificial intelligence partner registration means" refers to a means by which a user can register information about their artificial intelligence partner.

[1059] A "memory recording means" is a means for users to save memories with their AI partner.

[1060] The "means for sending a thank you message" is a means for a user to send a thank you message to an AI partner.

[1061] The "emotion recognition means" is a means for inputting a user's voice, analyzing the emotion using an emotion recognition engine, and generating an appropriate response message based on the analysis results.

[1062] The "offering process means" is a means for executing the offering process of the artificial intelligence partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user.

[1063] "Content distribution means" refers to a means for recording the memorial service process as video and storing and distributing it.

[1064] This invention relates to a memorial service system that allows users to appropriately conclude their relationships with AI partners. The system has functions for user registration, AI partner registration, memory recording, sending thank-you messages, emotion recognition, the memorial process, and recording and distributing scenes from the memorial process.

[1083] Technologies used: AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage

[1084] Main function: Recording and distributing videos of the memorial service process

[1085] User Registration

[1086] A user downloads an application, enters their account information (e.g., name, password), and sends it to the server, which then stores the user information in a database to create a user account.

[1087] Artificial Intelligence Partner Registration

[1088] The user enters information about their AI partner (e.g., partner name, details) and sends it to the server, which saves the partner information in the database and creates a new AI partner record.

[1089] Record memories and send thank you messages

[1090] Users can enter text and photos to record their memories with their AI partner and send them to the server. They can also enter thank-you messages and send them to the server. All of this data is stored in a database.

[1091] emotion recognition

[1092] When users express their emotions through voice during the memorial service, the device sends the voice data to the server, which converts the voice data into text using the Google Speech-to-Text API and then analyzes the emotions using emotion recognition models running on TensorFlow and PyTorch. Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate response message and displays it to the user.

[1093] Specific examples

[1094] For example, suppose user "user123" registers an AI partner, "AI Partner," records some memories, and sends a thank-you message, "Thank you, AI Partner." When the user voice-inputs during the memorial service process, a prompt such as "Hello, today I would like to talk about the memorial service with AI Partner. Thank you." is used, and the server performs sentiment analysis and displays an appropriate response message to the user.

[1095] Memorial Service Process and Delivery Services

[1096] When the memorial service process is performed, the server queries the database for information about the user and the AI ​​partner, as well as all related memories and messages of gratitude. It then generates a memorial certificate, converts it to PDF format, and sends it to the user's registered email address. The memorial service is recorded as a video and stored on AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. A content distribution service is provided so that other users can view and share the memorial video.

[1097] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows you to emotionally conclude your relationship with your AI partner and share the memorial process.

[1098] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1099] Step 1:

[1100] User registration: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter their username and password, which they then fill in and submit. The input data (username and password) is sent to the server, which stores the received data in a database such as AWS RDS or Firebase and creates a new user record. As an output, the user receives a registration completion message.

[1101] Step 2:

[1102] Registering an AI partner: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter the name and details of the AI ​​partner. The user fills it in and submits it. The input data (partner name and details) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in its database, and creates a new AI partner record. As an output, the user receives a partner registration completion message.

[1103] Step 3:

[1104] Recording a memory: The device displays a form for the user to input / upload the memory text and photo. The user enters the data and submits it. The input data (text and photo) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in the database, and creates a new memory record. As an output, the user receives a message that the memory has been registered.

[1105] Step 4:

[1106] Sending a thank you message: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a thank you message. The user fills it in and submits it. The input data (thank you message) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in the database, and creates a new thank you message record. As an output, the user receives a message that the message has been sent successfully.

[1107] Step 5:

[1108] Emotion Recognition: The user provides voice input to the device during the memorial service process. The device sends the voice data to the server, which converts the voice data into text using the Google Speech-to-Text API. The server then analyzes the emotion in the voice using an emotion recognition model running on TensorFlow or PyTorch. Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate response message and sends it to the device. The device displays the generated message to the user. As an output, the user receives the response message.

[1109] Step 6:

[1110] Memorial service process: When the user presses the button to start the memorial service on the device, the device sends a request for the memorial service process to the server. The server queries the database for information about the user and their AI partner, as well as messages of memories and gratitude, and generates a memorial certificate. The server converts the memorial certificate into PDF format and sends it to the user's registered email address. As an output, the user receives the memorial certificate.

[1111] Step 7:

[1112] Content distribution: The device records the memorial service process as a video and sends the video data to the server. The server stores the video data in AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. The stored video is distributed to other users, who can view and share the memorial service video. As an output, the user and other users can view the video.

[1113] This process allows users to emotionally conclude their relationship with their AI partner and share the memorial process with other users.

[1114] 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.

[1115] 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.

[1331] In recent years, artificial intelligence and robots have come to be used in a variety of fields, and the need for people to express gratitude and hold memorial services for these machines is increasing. However, there is a lack of systems to express gratitude and hold memorial services for these machines in an appropriate way. In addition, it is difficult to efficiently manage a wide range of technical data and memories and automate memorial services.

[1332] 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.

[1333] In this invention, the server includes a user registration means for a user to enter their own account information and register it in the system, an information registration means for a user to register information about their AI partner, a recording means for a user to save memories with their AI partner, a message sending means for a user to send a message of gratitude to their AI partner, a memorial service means for executing a memorial service process for the AI ​​partner, generating a certificate and sending it to the user, a robot registration means for a user to save detailed information and operation records of the robot, and a generation AI model means for generating a prompt message when generating a memorial service certificate and sending it to the user. This allows for efficient gratitude and memorial services for AI and robots, and allows users to appropriately express their gratitude and complete the memorial service.

[1334] "User registration means" is a function that allows a user to enter their own account information and register with the system.

[1335] "Information registration means" is a function that allows users to register information about their AI partner.

The system includes a user registration means, an information registration means, a recording means, a message sending means, an offering means, a robot registration means, and an AI model generation means.

[1342] User registration method

[1343] The server provides a means for users to register by entering their own account information. For example, users enter their username and password into an input form on a smartphone or tablet device and send it to the server, where the user information is stored in the database.

[1344] Information registration method

[1345] The server provides an input form for users to enter details of their AI partner or robot and register them. The entered information is sent to the server and stored in a database. For example, the AI ​​partner's name, number of years in operation, and other details are registered.

[1346] Recording means

[1347] The server provides a function for users to save memories with their AI partner or robot. Users can upload text and photos of their memories, which are then stored in a database. For example, memories such as "the first day of work" or "the days we worked together" are recorded.

[1348] Message sending method

[1349] The server provides an input form for users to input and submit messages of thanks to their AI partners or robots. The messages are then stored in a database. For example, a message such as "Thank you, robot name" may be input and stored.

[1350] Memorial service means

[1351] When the user presses the button to start the memorial service, the server starts the memorial process. The server references information about the user, their AI partner, and the robot, as well as memories and messages of gratitude, from the database, and generates a memorial certificate. The generated certificate is converted into PDF format and sent to the user's registered email address.

[1352] Robot registration method

[1353] The server provides a function for storing detailed information about the robot and its operation records. Users input the robot's name, model number, operation period, etc., and send it to the server, where it is saved in a database.

[1354] Generative AI model means

[1355] When generating a memorial certificate, the server uses a generative AI model to generate a prompt. This allows the memorial certificate to include a prompt that expresses gratitude and respect. For example, a prompt such as, "Do you remember how wonderfully RoboX120 worked in our factory? Your first working day was especially impressive. Thank you, RoboX120. We will never forget you."

[1356] Hardware and software used

[1357] The system uses user devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smart glasses, as well as a cloud server. The backend is built using Python and Flask, and SQLite is used for database management. A Python PDF creation library (e.g., ReportLab) is used to convert the memorial certificate to PDF.

[1358] This will allow users to properly express their gratitude to their AI partners and robots and hold memorial services for them.

[1359] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1360] Step 1:

[1361] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the username and password and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received user information in a database and creates a new user record. The input data is the username and password, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[1362] Step 2:

[1363] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter details such as the name, model, and years of operation of their AI partner or robot. The user enters the details and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received information in a database and creates a record for a new AI partner or robot. The input data are the partner or robot's details, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[1364] Step 3:

[1365] The device presents the user with a form to input or upload text and photos of their memories. The user inputs the text and photos and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received memory data in a database and creates a new memory record. The input data is the text and photos, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[1366] Step 4:

[1367] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a thank you message. The user enters a thank you message and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received message information in a database and creates a new thank you message record. The input data is the thank you message, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[1368] Step 5:

[1369] The user presses a button to start the memorial service. This requests the memorial service process to the server. The server retrieves information about the user and their AI partner or robot, as well as memories and a message of gratitude from the database. It references each piece of information and generates a memorial certificate. A prompt is generated using a generative AI model and included in the memorial certificate. The input data is information about the user and their partner or robot, memories, a message of gratitude, and a prompt from the generative AI model, and the output is the creation of a memorial certificate.

[1370] Step 6:

[1371] The server converts the generated memorial certificate into PDF format and sends it to the user's registered email address. In this final process, the user can receive the memorial certificate. The input data is the memorial certificate, and the output is a PDF sent to the user's registered email address.

[1372] Through these steps, users can show their gratitude to their AI partners and robots and make appropriate offerings.

[1373] 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.

[1374] This invention relates to a memorial service system that allows users to say goodbye to their artificial intelligence (AI) partners in an appropriate manner. The system not only handles user registration, AI partner registration, memory recording, thank-you messages, and memorial service processes, but also includes an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and responds appropriately.

[1506] Example 2

[1507] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1508] In recent years, AI partners have become widely used in daily life and work, but when the relationship with these AI partners ends, users lack the means to properly say goodbye. In particular, there is a lack of support for organizing memories and messages of gratitude, and the lack of emotionally sensitive responses places a heavy psychological burden on users. In response, a system is needed that allows users to express gratitude and respect to their AI partners and hold memorial services for them.

[1509] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a user registration means for the user to input their own account information and register it in the system, an AI partner registration means for the user to register information about their AI partner, a memory recording means for the user to save memories with their AI partner, a thank you message sending means for the user to send a thank you message to their AI partner, an emotion recognition means for analyzing the user's emotions from their voice and generating a corresponding response message, and a memorial processing means for executing a memorial process for the AI ​​partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user. This allows the user to appropriately establish a relationship with their AI partner and complete the memorial process while receiving emotionally sensitive support.

[1510] "User registration means" refers to the means by which a user enters his or her own account information and registers with the system.

[1511] "Artificial intelligence partner registration means" refers to a means by which a user inputs information about his or her artificial intelligence partner and registers it in the system.

[1512] A "memory recording means" is a means for users to save memories with their AI partner.

[1513] The "means for sending a thank you message" is a means for a user to send a thank you message to an AI partner through the system.

[1514] The "emotion recognition means" is a means for analyzing the user's emotions from their voice and generating a corresponding response message.

[1515] The "offering process means" is a means for executing the offering process of the artificial intelligence partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user.

[1516] "Database means" refers to a means for storing text and images of memories within the system.

[1517] "Electronic document format" refers to a format in which documents such as memorial certificates are generated in a digital format (e.g., PDF) and stored or transmitted.

[1518] This invention relates to a memorial service system that allows users to say goodbye to their artificial intelligence (AI) partners in an appropriate manner. The system provides functions for user registration, AI partner registration, memory recording, sending thank-you messages, emotion recognition, and the memorial service process, allowing users to say goodbye to their beloved AI partners in an appropriate manner while showing respect and receiving emotionally sensitive support.

[1519] User registration method

[1520] The user registration process begins with the device displaying a form for the user to enter their username and password.

[1527] emotion recognition means

[1528] The emotion recognition means has the function of recognizing emotions from the user's voice. The device prompts for voice input, and when the user records the voice, the data is sent to the server. The server uses an emotion recognition engine such as TensorFlow to analyze the voice data and recognize the user's emotions. Based on the results, an appropriate response message is generated using natural language generation technology (e.g., GPT-3) and displayed on the device.

[1529] Memorial service process means

[1530] The memorial service process is initiated by the user pressing the memorial service button. When the device sends a memorial service request to the server, the server queries the user and AI partner information from the database and generates a memorial service certificate. This certificate is converted to PDF format and sent to the user's registered email address.

[1531] Examples of concrete examples and prompts

[1532] For example, suppose a user logs in with their "taro123" account and registers their AI partner "Aiko." The user records the memory of "My first trip" and sends a message of gratitude saying "Thank you, Aiko." After that, when the user presses the button to start the memorial service, the system checks all the registered data, generates a memorial certificate, and sends it to the user.

[1533] Example prompt sentence:

[1534] "Please enter text and photos in the form to record your memories with your AI partner."

[1535] "Please enter a message of thanks. For example, 'Thank you, Aiko.'"

[1536] "Express your emotions through speech. For example, express your sadness over a breakup or your gratitude."

[1537] In this way, the present invention allows users to properly engage with an AI partner and provide emotional support to complete the memorial process.

[1600] (Application example 2)

[1601] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1602] Traditional memorial services lack the means for users to emotionally conclude their relationship with their AI partner. Furthermore, they lack the ability to analyze users' emotions and generate appropriate responses, making it difficult to provide services that are sensitive to the user's feelings. Furthermore, they lack the ability to share the memorial service process with other users, making it difficult to spread the memorial service experience.

[1603] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1604] In this invention, the server includes a user registration means for a user to input their own account information and register it in the system, an AI partner registration means for a user to register information about their AI partner, a memory recording means for a user to save memories with their AI partner, a thank you message sending means for a user to send a thank you message to their AI partner, an emotion recognition means for inputting the user's voice, analyzing the emotion using an emotion recognition engine, and generating an appropriate response message based on the analysis result, a memorial process means for executing a memorial process for the AI ​​partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user, and a content distribution means for recording the memorial process as a video and storing and distributing it, thereby enabling a user to emotionally conclude their relationship with their AI partner and further share the memorial process.

[1605] "User registration means" refers to the means by which a user enters his or her own account information and registers with the system.

[1606] "Artificial intelligence partner registration means" refers to a means by which a user can register information about their artificial intelligence partner.

[1607] A "memory recording means" is a means for users to save memories with their AI partner.

[1608] The "means for sending a thank you message" is a means for a user to send a thank you message to an AI partner.

[1609] The "emotion recognition means" is a means for inputting a user's voice, analyzing the emotion using an emotion recognition engine, and generating an appropriate response message based on the analysis results.

[1610] The "offering process means" is a means for executing the offering process of the artificial intelligence partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user.

[1611] "Content distribution means" refers to a means for recording the memorial service process as video and storing and distributing it.

[1612] This invention relates to a memorial service system that allows users to appropriately conclude their relationships with AI partners. The system has functions for user registration, AI partner registration, memory recording, sending thank-you messages, emotion recognition, the memorial process, and recording and distributing scenes from the memorial process.

[1633] User Registration

[1634] A user downloads an application, enters their account information (e.g., name, password), and sends it to the server, which then stores the user information in a database to create a user account.

[1635] Artificial Intelligence Partner Registration

[1636] The user enters information about their AI partner (e.g., partner name, details) and sends it to the server, which saves the partner information in the database and creates a new AI partner record.

[1637] Record memories and send thank you messages

[1638] Users can enter text and photos to record their memories with their AI partner and send them to the server. They can also enter thank-you messages and send them to the server. All of this data is stored in a database.

[1639] emotion recognition

[1640] When users express their emotions through voice during the memorial service, the device sends the voice data to the server, which converts the voice data into text using the Google Speech-to-Text API and then analyzes the emotions using emotion recognition models running on TensorFlow and PyTorch. Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate response message and displays it to the user.

[1641] Specific examples

[1642] For example, suppose user "user123" registers an AI partner, "AI Partner," records some memories, and sends a thank-you message, "Thank you, AI Partner." When the user voice-inputs during the memorial service process, a prompt such as "Hello, today I would like to talk about the memorial service with AI Partner. Thank you." is used, and the server performs sentiment analysis and displays an appropriate response message to the user.

[1643] Memorial Service Process and Delivery Services

[1644] When the memorial service process is performed, the server queries the database for information about the user and the AI ​​partner, as well as all related memories and messages of gratitude. It then generates a memorial certificate, converts it to PDF format, and sends it to the user's registered email address. The memorial service is recorded as a video and stored on AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. A content distribution service is provided so that other users can view and share the memorial video.

[1645] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows you to emotionally conclude your relationship with your AI partner and share the memorial process.

[1646] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1647] Step 1:

[1648] User registration: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter their username and password, which they then fill in and submit. The input data (username and password) is sent to the server, which stores the received data in a database such as AWS RDS or Firebase and creates a new user record. As an output, the user receives a registration completion message.

[1649] Step 2:

[1650] Registering an AI partner: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter the name and details of the AI ​​partner. The user fills it in and submits it. The input data (partner name and details) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in its database, and creates a new AI partner record. As an output, the user receives a partner registration completion message.

[1651] Step 3:

[1652] Recording a memory: The device displays a form for the user to input / upload the memory text and photo. The user enters the data and submits it. The input data (text and photo) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in the database, and creates a new memory record. As an output, the user receives a message that the memory has been registered.

[1653] Step 4:

[1654] Sending a thank you message: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a thank you message. The user fills it in and submits it. The input data (thank you message) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in the database, and creates a new thank you message record. As an output, the user receives a message that the message has been sent successfully.

[1655] Step 5:

[1656] Emotion Recognition: The user provides voice input to the device during the memorial service process. The device sends the voice data to the server, which converts the voice data into text using the Google Speech-to-Text API. The server then analyzes the emotion in the voice using an emotion recognition model running on TensorFlow or PyTorch. Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate response message and sends it to the device. The device displays the generated message to the user. As an output, the user receives the response message.

[1657] Step 6:

[1658] Memorial service process: When the user presses the button to start the memorial service on the device, the device sends a request for the memorial service process to the server. The server queries the database for information about the user and their AI partner, as well as messages of memories and gratitude, and generates a memorial certificate. The server converts the memorial certificate into PDF format and sends it to the user's registered email address. As an output, the user receives the memorial certificate.

[1659] Step 7:

[1660] Content distribution: The device records the memorial service process as a video and sends the video data to the server. The server stores the video data in AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. The stored video is distributed to other users, who can view and share the memorial service video. As an output, the user and other users can view the video.

[1661] This process allows users to emotionally conclude their relationship with their AI partner and share the memorial process with other users.

[1662] 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.

[1663] 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.

[1878] (Application example 1)

[1879] 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."

[1880] In recent years, artificial intelligence and robots have come to be used in a variety of fields, and the need for people to express gratitude and hold memorial services for these machines is increasing. However, there is a lack of systems to express gratitude and hold memorial services for these machines in an appropriate way. In addition, it is difficult to efficiently manage a wide range of technical data and memories and automate memorial services.

[1881] 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.

[1882] In this invention, the server includes a user registration means for a user to enter their own account information and register it in the system, an information registration means for a user to register information about their AI partner, a recording means for a user to save memories with their AI partner, a message sending means for a user to send a message of gratitude to their AI partner, a memorial service means for executing a memorial service process for the AI ​​partner, generating a certificate and sending it to the user, a robot registration means for a user to save detailed information and operation records of the robot, and a generation AI model means for generating a prompt message when generating a memorial service certificate and sending it to the user. This allows for efficient gratitude and memorial services for AI and robots, and allows users to appropriately express their gratitude and complete the memorial service.

[1883] "User registration means" is a function that allows a user to enter their own account information and register with the system.

[1884] "Information registration means" is a function that allows users to register information about their AI partner.

[1885] "Recording Measures" is a feature that allows users to save memories with their AI partner.

[1886] The "message sending means" is a function that allows users to send messages of gratitude to their AI partners.

[1887] The "contribution means" is a function for executing the contribution process of the artificial intelligence partner, generating a certificate and sending it to the user.

[1888] The "robot registration means" is a function that allows users to save detailed information and operation records of their robots.

[1889] The "generative AI model means" is a function for generating a prompt sentence when generating a memorial certificate and sending it to the user.

[1890] This invention is a system for allowing users to express gratitude and make offerings to their AI partners or factory robots that have retired from their roles. The system includes a user registration means, an information registration means, a recording means, a message sending means, an offering means, a robot registration means, and an AI model generation means.

[1891] User registration method

[1892] The server provides a means for users to register by entering their own account information. For example, users enter their username and password into an input form on a smartphone or tablet device and send it to the server, where the user information is stored in the database.

[1893] Information registration method

[1894] The server provides an input form for users to enter details of their AI partner or robot and register them. The entered information is sent to the server and stored in a database. For example, the AI ​​partner's name, number of years in operation, and other details are registered.

[1895] Recording means

[1896] The server provides a function for users to save memories with their AI partner or robot. Users can upload text and photos of their memories, which are then stored in a database. For example, memories such as "the first day of work" or "the days we worked together" are recorded.

[1897] Message sending method

[1898] The server provides an input form for users to input and submit messages of thanks to their AI partners or robots. The messages are then stored in a database. For example, a message such as "Thank you, robot name" may be input and stored.

[1899] Memorial service means

[1900] When the user presses the button to start the memorial service, the server starts the memorial process. The server references information about the user, their AI partner, and the robot, as well as memories and messages of gratitude, from the database, and generates a memorial certificate. The generated certificate is converted into PDF format and sent to the user's registered email address.

[1901] Robot registration method

[1902] The server provides a function for storing detailed information about the robot and its operation records. Users input the robot's name, model number, operation period, etc., and send it to the server, where it is saved in a database.

[1903] Generative AI model means

[1904] When generating a memorial certificate, the server uses a generative AI model to generate a prompt. This allows the memorial certificate to include a prompt that expresses gratitude and respect. For example, a prompt such as, "Do you remember how wonderfully RoboX120 worked in our factory? Your first working day was especially impressive. Thank you, RoboX120. We will never forget you."

[1905] Hardware and software used

[1906] The system uses user devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smart glasses, as well as a cloud server. The backend is built using Python and Flask, and SQLite is used for database management. A Python PDF creation library (e.g., ReportLab) is used to convert the memorial certificate to PDF.

[1907] This will allow users to properly express their gratitude to their AI partners and robots and hold memorial services for them.

[1908] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1909] Step 1:

[1910] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the username and password and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received user information in a database and creates a new user record. The input data is the username and password, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[1911] Step 2:

[1912] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter details such as the name, model, and years of operation of their AI partner or robot. The user enters the details and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received information in a database and creates a record for a new AI partner or robot. The input data are the partner or robot's details, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[1913] Step 3:

[1914] The device presents the user with a form to input or upload text and photos of their memories. The user inputs the text and photos and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received memory data in a database and creates a new memory record. The input data is the text and photos, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[1915] Step 4:

[1916] The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a thank you message. The user enters a thank you message and presses the submit button, which sends the input data to the server. The server stores the received message information in a database and creates a new thank you message record. The input data is the thank you message, and the output is a new entry in the database.

[1917] Step 5:

[1918] The user presses a button to start the memorial service. This requests the memorial service process to the server. The server retrieves information about the user and their AI partner or robot, as well as memories and a message of gratitude from the database. It references each piece of information and generates a memorial certificate. A prompt is generated using a generative AI model and included in the memorial certificate. The input data is information about the user and their partner or robot, memories, a message of gratitude, and a prompt from the generative AI model, and the output is the creation of a memorial certificate.

[1919] Step 6:

[1920] The server converts the generated memorial certificate into PDF format and sends it to the user's registered email address. In this final process, the user can receive the memorial certificate. The input data is the memorial certificate, and the output is a PDF sent to the user's registered email address.

[1921] Through these steps, users can show their gratitude to their AI partners and robots and make appropriate offerings.

[1922] 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.

[1923] This invention relates to a memorial service system that allows users to say goodbye to their artificial intelligence (AI) partners in an appropriate manner. The system not only handles user registration, AI partner registration, memory recording, thank-you messages, and memorial service processes, but also includes an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions and responds appropriately.

[2055] Example 2

[2056] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[2057] In recent years, AI partners have become widely used in daily life and work, but when the relationship with these AI partners ends, users lack the means to properly say goodbye. In particular, there is a lack of support for organizing memories and messages of gratitude, and the lack of emotionally sensitive responses places a heavy psychological burden on users. In response, a system is needed that allows users to express gratitude and respect to their AI partners and hold memorial services for them.

[2058] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a user registration means for the user to input their own account information and register it in the system, an AI partner registration means for the user to register information about their AI partner, a memory recording means for the user to save memories with their AI partner, a thank you message sending means for the user to send a thank you message to their AI partner, an emotion recognition means for analyzing the user's emotions from their voice and generating a corresponding response message, and a memorial processing means for executing a memorial process for the AI ​​partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user. This allows the user to appropriately establish a relationship with their AI partner and complete the memorial process while receiving emotionally sensitive support.

[2059] "User registration means" refers to the means by which a user enters his or her own account information and registers with the system.

[2060] "Artificial intelligence partner registration means" refers to a means by which a user inputs information about his or her artificial intelligence partner and registers it in the system.

[2061] A "memory recording means" is a means for users to save memories with their AI partner.

[2062] The "means for sending a thank you message" is a means for a user to send a thank you message to an AI partner through the system.

[2063] The "emotion recognition means" is a means for analyzing the user's emotions from their voice and generating a corresponding response message.

[2064] The "offering process means" is a means for executing the offering process of the artificial intelligence partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user.

[2065] "Database means" refers to a means for storing text and images of memories within the system.

[2066] "Electronic document format" refers to a format in which documents such as memorial certificates are generated in a digital format (e.g., PDF) and stored or transmitted.

[2067] This invention relates to a memorial service system that allows users to say goodbye to their artificial intelligence (AI) partners in an appropriate manner. The system provides functions for user registration, AI partner registration, memory recording, sending thank-you messages, emotion recognition, and the memorial service process, allowing users to say goodbye to their beloved AI partners in an appropriate manner while showing respect and receiving emotionally sensitive support.

[2068] User registration method

[2069] The user registration process begins with the device displaying a form for the user to enter their username and password. Once the user has completed the entry and pressed the submit button, the information is sent to the server via an HTTP POST request using JavaScript. The server receives the data using the Python Django framework and stores it in a database such as MySQL.

[2070] AI partner registration method

[2071] To register an AI partner, the device displays a form for the user to enter the name and details of the AI ​​partner. After the user enters the AI ​​partner's information and presses the submit button, the information is sent in JSON format to the server, which then uses Django to store the data in a database.

[2072] A means of recording memories

[2073] The memory recorder allows users to record shared memories with their AI partner. The device displays a form for inputting / uploading text and images. After the user enters the information, the data is sent to the server using JavaScript, which then stores it in a database.

[2074] Thank you message sending method

[2075] The thank you message sending means displays a form on the terminal for the user to enter a thank you message. When the user enters a message and presses the send button, the information is sent to the server and saved in a database.

[2076] emotion recognition means

[2077] The emotion recognition means has the function of recognizing emotions from the user's voice. The device prompts for voice input, and when the user records the voice, the data is sent to the server. The server uses an emotion recognition engine such as TensorFlow to analyze the voice data and recognize the user's emotions. Based on the results, an appropriate response message is generated using natural language generation technology (e.g., GPT-3) and displayed on the device.

[2078] Memorial service process means

[2079] The memorial service process is initiated by the user pressing the memorial service button. When the device sends a memorial service request to the server, the server queries the user and AI partner information from the database and generates a memorial service certificate. This certificate is converted to PDF format and sent to the user's registered email address.

[2080] Examples of concrete examples and prompts

[2081] For example, suppose a user logs in with their "taro123" account and registers their AI partner "Aiko." The user records the memory of "My first trip" and sends a message of gratitude saying "Thank you, Aiko." After that, when the user presses the button to start the memorial service, the system checks all the registered data, generates a memorial certificate, and sends it to the user.

[2082] Example prompt sentence:

[2083] "Please enter text and photos in the form to record your memories with your AI partner."

[2084] "Please enter a message of thanks. For example, 'Thank you, Aiko.'"

[2085] "Express your emotions through speech. For example, express your sadness over a breakup or your gratitude."

[2086] In this way, the present invention allows users to properly engage with an AI partner and provide emotional support to complete the memorial process.

[2087] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[2088] Step 1: User Registration

[2106] Step 3: Record your memories

[2107] Input form display

[2108] The device will present the user with a form to enter / upload text and photos of their memories.

[2109] input

[2110] Users enter and upload "text" and "photos" of their memories.

[2111] Transmission data

[2112] The device uses JavaScript to send the entered memory data to the server in JSON format (text) and multipart format (photos).

[2113] Data storage

[2114] The server uses Django to store the received memory data in the database and create a new memory record.

[2115] Step 4: Send a thank you message

[2116] Input form display

[2117] The device will display a form for the user to enter a thank you message.

[2118] input

[2119] The user enters a "Thank You Message."

[2120] Transmission data

[2121] The device uses JavaScript to send the entered thank you message data in JSON format to the server.

[2122] Data storage

[2123] The server uses Django to save the received thank you message data to the database and create a new thank you message record.

[2124] Step 5: Emotion Recognition

[2125] Voice input

[2126] The device prompts the user for voice input. This prompt uses the microphone.

[2127] input

[2128] Users express their "emotions" through voice.

[2129] Transmission data

[2130] The device sends the recorded audio data to the server via an HTTP POST request.

[2131] sentiment analysis

[2132] The server analyzes the voice data using an emotion recognition engine such as TensorFlow and recognizes the user's emotions.

[2133] Generate corresponding message

[2134] Based on the emotion results recognized by the server, an appropriate response message is generated using natural language generation technology (such as GPT-3).

[2135] output

[2136] The device will generate a corresponding message and display it to the user.

[2137] Step 6: The Memorial Service Process

[2138] Memorial service process begins

[2139] The user presses a button to start the memorial service.

[2140] Send Request

[2141] The device sends a request for the memorial service process to the server via an HTTP POST request.

[2142] Database Query

[2143] The server queries the database for information about the user and their AI partner, as well as all memories and thank you messages.

[2144] Certificate Generation

[2145] The server generates a memorial certificate based on the data queried and converts it into PDF format.

[2146] Sending the certificate

[2147] The server will send the memorial certificate to the user's registered email address.

[2148] Through these steps, the system enables users to properly establish a relationship with their AI partner and complete the memorial service process while receiving emotional support.

[2149] (Application example 2)

[2150] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[2151] Traditional memorial services lack the means for users to emotionally conclude their relationship with their AI partner. Furthermore, they lack the ability to analyze users' emotions and generate appropriate responses, making it difficult to provide services that are sensitive to the user's feelings. Furthermore, they lack the ability to share the memorial service process with other users, making it difficult to spread the memorial service experience.

[2152] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.

[2153] In this invention, the server includes a user registration means for a user to input their own account information and register it in the system, an AI partner registration means for a user to register information about their AI partner, a memory recording means for a user to save memories with their AI partner, a thank you message sending means for a user to send a thank you message to their AI partner, an emotion recognition means for inputting the user's voice, analyzing the emotion using an emotion recognition engine, and generating an appropriate response message based on the analysis result, a memorial process means for executing a memorial process for the AI ​​partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user, and a content distribution means for recording the memorial process as a video and storing and distributing it, thereby enabling a user to emotionally conclude their relationship with their AI partner and further share the memorial process.

[2154] "User registration means" refers to the means by which a user enters his or her own account information and registers with the system.

[2155] "Artificial intelligence partner registration means" refers to a means by which a user can register information about their artificial intelligence partner.

[2156] A "memory recording means" is a means for users to save memories with their AI partner.

[2157] The "means for sending a thank you message" is a means for a user to send a thank you message to an AI partner.

[2158] The "emotion recognition means" is a means for inputting a user's voice, analyzing the emotion using an emotion recognition engine, and generating an appropriate response message based on the analysis results.

[2159] The "offering process means" is a means for executing the offering process of the artificial intelligence partner, generating a certificate, and sending it to the user.

[2160] "Content distribution means" refers to a means for recording the memorial service process as video and storing and distributing it.

[2161] This invention relates to a memorial service system that allows users to appropriately conclude their relationships with AI partners. The system has functions for user registration, AI partner registration, memory recording, sending thank-you messages, emotion recognition, the memorial process, and recording and distributing scenes from the memorial process.

[2179] 6. Data Retention:

[2180] Technologies used: AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage

[2181] Main function: Recording and distributing videos of the memorial service process

[2182] User Registration

[2183] A user downloads an application, enters their account information (e.g., name, password), and sends it to the server, which then stores the user information in a database to create a user account.

[2184] Artificial Intelligence Partner Registration

[2185] The user enters information about their AI partner (e.g., partner name, details) and sends it to the server, which saves the partner information in the database and creates a new AI partner record.

[2186] Record memories and send thank you messages

[2187] Users can enter text and photos to record their memories with their AI partner and send them to the server. They can also enter thank-you messages and send them to the server. All of this data is stored in a database.

[2188] emotion recognition

[2189] When users express their emotions through voice during the memorial service, the device sends the voice data to the server, which converts the voice data into text using the Google Speech-to-Text API and then analyzes the emotions using emotion recognition models running on TensorFlow and PyTorch. Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate response message and displays it to the user.

[2190] Specific examples

[2191] For example, suppose user "user123" registers an AI partner, "AI Partner," records some memories, and sends a thank-you message, "Thank you, AI Partner." When the user voice-inputs during the memorial service process, a prompt such as "Hello, today I would like to talk about the memorial service with AI Partner. Thank you." is used, and the server performs sentiment analysis and displays an appropriate response message to the user.

[2192] Memorial Service Process and Delivery Services

[2193] When the memorial service process is performed, the server queries the database for information about the user and the AI ​​partner, as well as all related memories and messages of gratitude. It then generates a memorial certificate, converts it to PDF format, and sends it to the user's registered email address. The memorial service is recorded as a video and stored on AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. A content distribution service is provided so that other users can view and share the memorial video.

[2194] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows you to emotionally conclude your relationship with your AI partner and share the memorial process.

[2195] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[2196] Step 1:

[2197] User registration: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter their username and password, which they then fill in and submit. The input data (username and password) is sent to the server, which stores the received data in a database such as AWS RDS or Firebase and creates a new user record. As an output, the user receives a registration completion message.

[2198] Step 2:

[2199] Registering an AI partner: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter the name and details of the AI ​​partner. The user fills it in and submits it. The input data (partner name and details) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in its database, and creates a new AI partner record. As an output, the user receives a partner registration completion message.

[2200] Step 3:

[2201] Recording a memory: The device displays a form for the user to input / upload the memory text and photo. The user enters the data and submits it. The input data (text and photo) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in the database, and creates a new memory record. As an output, the user receives a message that the memory has been registered.

[2202] Step 4:

[2203] Sending a thank you message: The terminal displays a form for the user to enter a thank you message. The user fills it in and submits it. The input data (thank you message) is sent to the server, which receives it, stores it in the database, and creates a new thank you message record. As an output, the user receives a message that the message has been sent successfully.

[2204] Step 5:

[2205] Emotion Recognition: The user provides voice input to the device during the memorial service process. The device sends the voice data to the server, which converts the voice data into text using the Google Speech-to-Text API. The server then analyzes the emotion in the voice using an emotion recognition model running on TensorFlow or PyTorch. Based on the analysis results, the server generates an appropriate response message and sends it to the device. The device displays the generated message to the user. As an output, the user receives the response message.

[2206] Step 6:

[2207] Memorial service process: When the user presses the button to start the memorial service on the device, the device sends a request for the memorial service process to the server. The server queries the database for information about the user and their AI partner, as well as messages of memories and gratitude, and generates a memorial certificate. The server converts the memorial certificate into PDF format and sends it to the user's registered email address. As an output, the user receives the memorial certificate.

[2208] Step 7:

[2209] Content distribution: The device records the memorial service process as a video and sends the video data to the server. The server stores the video data in AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. The stored video is distributed to other users, who can view and share the memorial service video. As an output, the user and other users can view the video.

[2210] This process allows users to emotionally conclude their relationship with their AI partner and share the memorial process with other users.

[2211] 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.

[2212] 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.

[2213] 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.

[2214] 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.

[2215] 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.

[2216] 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.

[2217] 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).

[2218] 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.

[2219] 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."

[2220] 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.

[2221] 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).

[2222] 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.

[2223] 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.

[2224] 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.

[2225] 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.

[2226] 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.

[2227] 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.

[2228] 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.

[2229] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[2230] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
