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."

[0040] This invention relates to a system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do with a server that analyzes the received information and creates an appropriate travel plan. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel plan.

[0041] System Overview

[0042] First, the user uses a terminal to input travel destinations, budgets, and things to do. This information is then sent from the terminal to a server via communication means. The server analyzes the sent information and collects information on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation based on it. Next, the server generates an appropriate travel plan that fits the budget based on the collected data. This travel plan is then sent back to the terminal via communication means, and the terminal visually displays it to the user.

[0043] Program processing

[0044] 1. User request input

[0045] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the terminal interface. For example, the user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[0046] 2. Sending and Receiving Data

[0047] The terminal packetizes the input information and sends it to the server, which then analyzes the received packets and checks their contents.

[0048] 3. Data Analysis and Plan Generation

[0049] The server generates a travel plan based on the following information:

[0050] Travel destinations: Collect historical tourist spots at travel destinations (e.g., Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine) from a database or external API.

[0051] Budget: Choose accommodation and transportation that fits your budget (e.g., business hotel, regular Shinkansen seat).

[0052] What you want to do: Incorporate the places you want to visit and the activities you want to experience into a specific schedule. For example, generate a schedule such as "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning," "Visit Kinkaku-ji Temple in the afternoon," and "Have dinner in Gion."

[0053] 4. Submit your plan

[0054] The server transmits the generated itinerary to the terminal, which then displays the detailed itinerary in a format that is easy for the user to view.

[0055] Specific examples

[0056] For example, if a user inputs into the terminal, "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," the server will generate the following itinerary:

[0057] json

[0058] {

[0059] "day_1": {

[0060] "morning": "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple",

[0061] "afternoon": "Visit Kinkakuji Temple",

[0062] "evening": "Dinner in Gion"

[0063] },

[0064] "day_2": {

[0065] "morning": "Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine",

[0066] "afternoon": "Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum",

[0067] "evening": "Strolling around town"

[0068] }

[0069] }

[0070] This plan is sent to the terminal, which visualizes it for the user, who can then enjoy a trip based on this plan.

[0071] This system automatically generates a customized travel plan based on the user's input information, allowing the user to have a satisfying travel plan without any hassle. A short-term time-killing plan can also be generated using the same procedure. For example, if the user inputs "I want to kill two hours" and "I'm in Shibuya," the following plan will be generated:

[0072] json

[0073] {

[0074] "1st_hour": "Photoshoot at Shibuya Scramble Crossing",

[0075] "2nd_hour": "Reading while drinking coffee at a cafe"

[0076] }

[0077] This system allows users to use their time efficiently and easily get the experience they want.

[0078] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0079] Step 1:

[0080] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the device interface. For example, they input information such as "I want to go to Tokyo," "My budget is 50,000 yen," and "I want to visit tourist spots."

[0081] Step 2:

[0082] The terminal packetizes the input data and generates an API request to send to the server.

[0083] Step 3:

[0084] The terminal transmits the generated data packet to the server, and at this time, the data is transferred via the communication means.

[0085] Step 4:

[0086] The server receives the data packets sent from the device, analyzes the received data, and obtains information about the travel destination, budget, and what the user wants to do.

[0087] Step 5:

[0088] The server then uses the information it receives to gather detailed data about the destination, such as pulling information about tourist attractions and accommodations from external APIs or internal databases.

[0089] Step 6:

[0090] The server adjusts the price based on the budget and selects available accommodations and transportation options (e.g., hotels, bullet trains, rental cars, etc.) within the budget.

[0091] Step 7:

[0092] The server selects specific activities and tourist spots based on the user's description of what they want to do (e.g., sightseeing), and creates a schedule.

[0093] Step 8:

[0094] The server generates a travel plan based on the collected information and the set schedule. As a concrete example, we will create the following plan:

[0095] json

[0096] {

[0097] "day_1": {

[0098] "morning": "Visit Sensoji Temple",

[0099] "afternoon": "visit Skytree",

[0100] "evening": "Dinner in Ginza"

[0101] },

[0102] "day_2": {

[0103] "morning": "Visit Akihabara",

[0104] "afternoon": "Visit Ueno Zoo",

[0105] "evening": "Strolling around Shinjuku"

[0106] }

[0107] }

[0108] Step 9:

[0109] The server packetizes the generated travel plan and transmits it to the terminal via the transmission means.

[0110] Step 10:

[0111] The terminal analyzes the received packets and displays the travel plan to the user in a visually easy-to-understand format, for example, a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[0112] As described above, a system is realized in which users, terminals, and servers work together to generate and provide efficient and satisfying travel plans.

[0113] Example 1

[0114] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0115] Traditionally, when planning a trip, users have had to individually research information such as the places they want to go, their budget, and accommodations, and then decide on a schedule, which requires a lot of effort. Furthermore, there have been few systems that can automatically generate travel plans that cover all the relevant information and meet users' needs. This has resulted in issues such as the time and effort required, making it difficult to create a satisfactory travel plan.

[0116] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0117] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface through which a user inputs travel destinations, budgets, and things to do, communication means for receiving the user's input information transmitted from the terminal, analysis means for analyzing the input information and generating a travel plan, means for acquiring information on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation using a Google (registered trademark) Maps API, a tourist information API, or the like, means for selecting accommodations and transportation based on the user's budget, means for creating a specific travel itinerary, transmission means for transmitting the generated travel plan to the terminal, and display means for displaying the travel plan to the user. This allows users to efficiently obtain a travel plan that suits their needs without any hassle.

[0118] A "user" is a person who inputs information and uses the system to plan a trip.

[0119] A "terminal" is a device that a user uses to operate an input interface, and includes a smartphone, a personal computer, and the like.

[0120] "Communication means" refers to the network technology used to send and receive information from a terminal to a server, and includes Wi-Fi and mobile data communications.

[0121] The "analysis means" is a component that has the function of analyzing the user's input information sent from the terminal and generating an appropriate travel plan.

[0122] A "travel plan" is a travel itinerary created based on the user's travel conditions, and includes information on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation.

[0123] "Google Maps API" is an application program interface provided by Google for obtaining map data and location information.

[0124] A "tourism information API" is an application program interface that provides tourism-related data and is used to obtain information on tourist attractions and accommodations.

[0125] "Transmission means" refers to a communication technique for sending the travel plan generated by the server back to the terminal.

[0126] The "display means" refers to a device or software for displaying the received travel plan in a format that is easy for the user to view.

[0127] A "travel destination" is a destination that a user wants to visit.

[0128] "Budget" refers to the amount of money you can spend on your trip, including accommodation and transportation costs.

[0129] "Things to do" refers to the activities a user wants to experience and the places they want to visit while traveling.

[0131] "Transportation" refers to the means or means of transportation used during a trip, including airplanes, trains, buses, etc.

[0132] A "travel itinerary" is a schedule showing the planned activities for each day during the trip.

[0133] This invention relates to a system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do with a server that analyzes the received information and generates an appropriate travel plan. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel plan.

[0134] Hardware and Software

[0135] The system operates using the following hardware and software:

[0136] Device (used by the user): Smartphone, personal computer, etc. Used via a web browser or mobile application.

[0137] Server: Server equipment of a large-scale cloud service (e.g., AWS (registered trademark)). MySQL (registered trademark) is used as the database management system, and Google Maps API and other tourist information APIs are used to obtain tourist information.

[0138] Communication method: Internet connection. Use Wi-Fi or mobile data (4G / 5G).

[0139] Program processing

[0140] 1. Enter user information

[0141] The user uses the input interface of the terminal to input the desired travel destination, budget, and things to do, and the user's basic travel conditions are registered in the terminal.

[0142] Example: A user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[0143] 2. Data transmission

[0144] The terminal then packets the input information and sends it to the server, using the HTTPS communication protocol to ensure data security.

[0145] 3. Data analysis on the server

[0146] The server parses the received data and extracts the user's input information. It deserializes the JSON format data and identifies the "travel destination," "budget," and "things to do." The parser then retrieves the appropriate tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options from the database based on this information.

[0147] 4. Generate a travel plan

[0148] The server generates a travel plan with the following structure:

[0149] Travel Destinations: We use the Google Maps API and other tourist information APIs to collect information about tourist attractions in user-specified travel destinations.

[0150] Budget: The system selects the most appropriate accommodation and transportation options from a database within the user's budget. Specifically, it targets business hotels and general transportation options (e.g., regular seats on the Shinkansen).

[0151] What I want to do: Create a schedule for the day that includes the tourist spots and activities the user wants to see.

[0152] For example, the following itinerary is generated:

[0153] Day 1:

[0154] Morning: Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple

[0155] Afternoon: Visit Kinkakuji Temple

[0156] Evening: Dinner in Gion

[0157] Day 2:

[0158] Morning: Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine

[0159] Afternoon: Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum

[0160] Evening: Stroll around town

[0161] 5. Sending and displaying plans to your device

[0162] The server sends the generated travel plan to the terminal, which receives it and displays it in a visually easy-to-understand format for the user. The user can check the schedule on the screen and easily understand the plan for each day.

[0163] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0164] The user has entered "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places." Based on this information, please generate a specific schedule for Day 1 and Day 2. Please include plans for each time period: morning, afternoon, and evening.

[0165] The system described above allows users to easily and efficiently plan their trips, increasing their satisfaction with the trip. The system also provides individual plans that can accommodate short periods of leisure time, making it possible to propose plans that meet the diverse needs of users.

[0166] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0167] Processing flow

[0168] Step 1:

[0169] The user uses the input interface of the device to input the travel destination, budget, and things to do. Specifically, the user inputs information such as "travel destination (e.g., Kyoto)," "budget (e.g., 30,000 yen)," and "things to do (e.g., visit historical sites)" into a web form on their smartphone or PC. Once this input is complete, the device displays a message to the user confirming that the input is complete.

[0170] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[0171] Output: Check the input information and generate the data to be sent

[0172] Step 2:

[0173] The terminal packetizes the input information and sends it to the server via HTTPS. Specifically, the terminal encodes the user's input information as JSON format data and sends it to the server using a secure protocol. The terminal also monitors the status during transmission to confirm whether the transmission was successful.

[0174] Input: User input information (JSON format)

[0175] Output: Input sent to the server

[0176] Step 3:

[0177] The server parses the received packet and extracts the input information. Specifically, the server deserializes the JSON format data and extracts the "travel destination," "budget," and "things to do." The server then validates the input information, filtering out incomplete or invalid data and notifying the user if an error message needs to be generated.

[0178] Input: JSON format input information sent from the terminal

[0179] Output: Extracted information about travel destinations, budget, and things to do

[0180] Step 4:

[0181] Based on the acquired information, the server uses APIs to collect data on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options. Specifically, it calls the Google Maps API and tourist information API to obtain information on tourist spots at the user's designated travel destination. Based on the API response, it queries the database to extract accommodations and transportation options that fit the user's budget.

[0182] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[0183] Output: Information on attractions, accommodations, and transportation

[0184] Step 5:

[0185] The server generates a specific travel itinerary based on the collected information. For example, it creates a full-day schedule that includes "visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning," "visiting Kinkaku-ji Temple in the afternoon," and "having dinner in Gion." It allocates activities according to the user's preferences by time slot and creates a specific plan for each day.

[0186] Input: Information on attractions, accommodations, and transportation

[0187] Output: Generated specific travel plan (schedule)

[0188] Step 6:

[0189] The server then packets the generated itinerary and sends it to the terminal. The HTTPS protocol ensures secure transmission. The terminal then analyzes the received data and displays it in a format that is easy for the user to understand. Specifically, the terminal displays the travel itinerary in an application or web page, allowing the user to check the itinerary.

[0190] Input: Generated travel plan (packet)

[0191] Output: A detailed trip plan displayed to the user

[0192] Step 7:

[0193] The user can then proceed with preparations for their trip based on the displayed travel plan. While viewing the specific itinerary, the user can confirm the places and times to visit, make any necessary reservations, and make any other preparations. By referring to this plan, the user can smoothly enjoy their trip.

[0194] Input: Detailed travel plan displayed on the device

[0195] Output: Trip preparation and execution

[0196] In this way, this system efficiently generates an appropriate and detailed travel plan based on the information input by the user and provides it to the user.

[0197] (Application example 1)

[0198] 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."

[0199] In recent years, automatic travel plan generation systems have become widespread. However, these systems are specialized in generating travel plans and do not consider suggesting viewing content for users to enjoy while traveling. This poses a challenge, making it difficult to comprehensively improve the travel experience. Furthermore, a solution is needed to save users the trouble of having to select content to view at their travel destinations from scratch.

[0200] 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.

[0201] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface for a user to input travel destinations, budgets, and things to do, a communication means for receiving the user's input information transmitted from the terminal, an analysis means for analyzing the input information and generating a travel plan and a viewing content plan, a transmission means for transmitting the generated travel plan and viewing content plan to the terminal, and a display means for displaying the travel plan and viewing content plan to the user, thereby enabling the user to make comprehensive plans not only during the trip but also including the viewing content to be enjoyed at the travel destination.

[0213] This invention relates to a system that combines a terminal with an interface through which users input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, with a server that analyzes the input information and generates travel plans and viewing content plans. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel and viewing experience.

[0214] System Overview

[0215] First, the user uses a terminal to input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do. This information is then sent from the terminal to a server via communication means. The server analyzes the received information and collects information on tourist spots, accommodations, transportation options, and content to watch. Next, the server uses the collected data to generate an appropriate travel plan and content to watch that fits the user's budget. This plan is then sent back to the terminal via communication means, and the terminal visually displays it to the user.

[0216] Program processing

[0217] The server runs a program that analyzes the information entered by the user about travel destinations, budgets, and things to do. The program, implemented in a programming language such as Python, retrieves information from a database of tourist attractions and video content, and generates an optimal plan based on the user's preferences.

[0218] 1. Hardware and Software Use:

[0219] Hardware: Smartphones, servers

[0220] Software: Python program, Flask (web framework), SQLite (database)

[0221] 2. Data processing and calculation:

[0222] Parsing user input information: The information entered by the user on the device is parsed and the server receives the travel destination, budget, and what the user wants to do.

[0223] Database access: Retrieves information on tourist attractions, accommodations, transportation options, and viewing content from the database and extracts data that meets the user's requirements.

[0224] Plan generation: Travel plans and viewing content plans are automatically generated based on the extracted data.

[0225] Specific examples

[0226] For example, if a user inputs into the terminal, "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," the server will generate the following travel plan and viewing content plan:

[0227] json

[0228] {

[0229] "day_1": {

[0230] "morning": "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple",

[0231] "afternoon": "Visit Kinkakuji Temple",

[0232] "evening": "Dinner in Gion"

[0233] },

[0234] "day_2": {

[0235] "morning": "Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine",

[0236] "afternoon": "Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum",

[0237] "evening": "Strolling around town"

[0238] },

[0239] "content_plan": [

[0240] {"title": "Movie A", "duration": 120, "category": "Action"},

[0241] {"title": "Drama A", "duration": 45, "category": "Action"}

[0242] ]

[0243] }

[0244] The user can enjoy the trip based on the generated plan, and can decide the content to view at the travel destination based on the viewing content plan.

[0245] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0246] "I'm looking for content to watch tonight. Create a recommended viewing plan based on the following information:

[0247] Category: Action, Drama

[0248] Budget: 1,500 yen

[0249] Available viewing time: 200 minutes

[0250] That's it. What kind of work would you like?"

[0251] This system allows users to make comprehensive plans that include not only their viewing experience during their trip, but also their viewing experience at their destination.

[0252] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0253] Step 1:

[0254] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and things to do using the terminal. The terminal receives the user's input information, packets it, and sends it to the server.

[0255] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[0256] Output: Packetized user input information

[0257] Step 2:

[0258] The server receives the user's input information sent from the terminal, analyzes the packetized information, and confirms the user's needs.

[0259] Input: Packetized user input information

[0260] Output: Analyzed user needs

[0261] Step 3:

[0262] The server retrieves information on tourist spots, accommodations, transportation options, and viewing content from a database or external API based on the analyzed user needs.

[0263] Input: Analyzed user needs

[0264] Output: Collected information on attractions, accommodation, transportation, and viewing content

[0265] Step 4:

[0266] The server generates a travel plan and a viewing content plan based on the collected information and the user's budget and what they want to do. Specifically, the server modifies the plan by listing tourist spots and accommodations that are within the user's budget, available means of transportation, and content that can be viewed during sightseeing or at accommodations.

[0267] Input: Collected information (tourist attractions, accommodation, transportation, viewing content), budget, things to do

[0268] Output: Generated travel plan and viewing content plan

[0269] Step 5:

[0270] The server packetizes the generated travel plan and viewing content plan and transmits them to the terminal.

[0271] Input: Generated travel plan and viewing content plan

[0272] Output: Packetized travel plans and viewing content plans

[0273] Step 6:

[0274] The terminal visually displays the received travel plan and viewing content plan for the user to confirm, and the user can enjoy the travel and viewing content based on the displayed plan.

[0275] Input: Packetized travel plans and viewing content plans

[0276] Output: Travel plan and viewing content plan displayed to the user

[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 system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, a server that analyzes the received information and generates an appropriate travel plan, and an emotion engine that adjusts the plan using the user's real-time and past emotion data.The system aims to provide users with personalized travel plans that will give them a high level of satisfaction.

[0279] System Overview

[0280] First, the user uses a device to input travel destinations, budget, and things to do. This information is then sent from the device to a server via communication means. At the same time, the device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect the user's emotional data and send it to the server. The server analyzes the sent information and emotional data and generates a travel plan based on it. The generated plan is then adjusted in real time based on the user's emotions. This travel plan is then sent back to the device via communication means, and the device visually displays it to the user.

[0281] Program processing

[0282] 1. User request input

[0283] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the terminal interface. For example, the user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[0284] 2. Collecting Emotional Data

[0285] The device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and other emotional indicators in real time, and this data is analyzed by the emotion engine.

[0286] 3. Sending and Receiving Data

[0287] The device packets the input information and emotion data and sends them to the server, which then analyzes the received packets and obtains the information.

[0288] 4. Data Analysis and Plan Generation

[0289] The server generates a travel plan based on the following information:

[0290] Travel Destinations: Collect information about tourist attractions, accommodations, and transportation options at travel destinations from databases and external APIs.

[0291] Budget: Choose accommodation and transportation that fits your budget.

[0292] What to do: Include specific itineraries of places users want to visit and activities they want to experience.

[0293] Emotional Data: Based on the user's real-time and historical emotional data, we tailor our plans to maximize user satisfaction.

[0294] 5. Emotion-Based Regulation

[0295] The server uses the emotional data to evaluate how the user reacts to the selected plan and optimizes the plan in real time. For example, if the user expresses positive emotions toward a particular tourist spot, it will add other activities centered around that spot.

[0296] 6. Submitting and Viewing Plans

[0297] The server sends the adjusted travel plan to the terminal, and the terminal visualizes it for the user, for example, by displaying a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[0298] Specific examples

[0299] For example, if a user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," and the analysis further reveals that the user's emotional data indicates a happy reaction to certain tourist spots, the server will generate the following itinerary:

[0300] json

[0301] {

[0302] "day_1": {

[0303] "morning": "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple",

[0304] "afternoon": "Visit Kinkakuji Temple",

[0305] "evening": "Dinner in Gion"

[0306] },

[0307] "day_2": {

[0308] "morning": "Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine",

[0309] "afternoon": "Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum",

[0310] "evening": "Additional activity at spots users particularly enjoyed"

[0311] }

[0312] }

[0313] This system provides personalized travel plans based on user input and real-time emotional data. This allows users to plan trips that fit their preferences without any hassle. The introduction of an emotional engine makes it possible to provide an even more satisfying experience.

[0314] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0315] Step 1:

[0316] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the device interface. For example, they input information such as "I want to go to Tokyo," "My budget is 50,000 yen," and "I want to visit tourist spots."

[0317] Step 2:

[0318] The device packetizes the input data and generates an API request to send to the server.

[0319] Step 3:

[0320] The terminal transmits the generated data packet to the server, and at this time, the data is transferred via the communication means.

[0321] Step 4:

[0322] The device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect emotional indicators such as facial expressions, tone of voice, and body temperature in real time. This data is analyzed by the emotion engine to generate emotional data.

[0323] Step 5:

[0324] The terminal packetizes the generated emotion data and transmits it to the server. At this time, the data is transferred via a communication means.

[0325] Step 6:

[0326] The server receives the user's input information and emotion data sent from the terminal.

[0327] Step 7:

[0328] The server analyzes the received data to obtain information about the travel destination, budget, and what to do, while also analyzing the emotion data.

[0329] Step 8:

[0330] The server collects detailed data about the travel destination (such as tourist attractions, accommodations, and transportation options) based on the acquired information, for example by retrieving the necessary information from an external API or an internal database.

[0331] Step 9:

[0332] The server adjusts the price based on the budget and selects available accommodations and transportation options (e.g., hotels, bullet trains, buses, etc.) within the budget.

[0333] Step 10:

[0334] The server selects and schedules specific activities and tourist spots based on the user's stated "what I want to do" (e.g., sightseeing).

[0335] Step 11:

[0336] The server evaluates the user's real-time emotional trends based on the emotion data and adjusts the travel plan accordingly: for example, if the user expresses positive emotions toward a particular tourist spot, it will add more related activities around that spot.

[0337] Step 12:

[0338] The server generates a travel plan that takes into account the collected information and emotional data. As a concrete example, we will build the following plan:

[0339] json

[0340] {

[0341] "day_1": {

[0342] "morning": "Visit Sensoji Temple",

[0343] "afternoon": "visit Skytree",

[0344] "evening": "Dinner in Ginza"

[0345] },

[0346] "day_2": {

[0347] "morning": "Visit Akihabara",

[0348] "afternoon": "Visit Ueno Zoo",

[0349] "evening": "Strolling around Shinjuku"

[0350] }

[0351] }

[0352] Step 13:

[0353] The server packetizes the generated travel plan and transmits it to the terminal through the transmission means.

[0354] Step 14:

[0355] The terminal analyzes the received packets and displays the travel plan to the user in a visually easy-to-understand format, for example, displaying a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[0356] As described above, a system has been realized in which users, terminals, and servers work together to generate and provide efficient and satisfying travel plans. The introduction of an emotion engine will provide even more personalized plans, improving the user experience.

[0468] The user inputs their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do through the device interface. The input information is temporarily stored on the user's device. The input data can be in the form of text data or voice data. For example, the information input here is "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[0469] Step 2:

[0470] The device uses a built-in camera, microphone, and emotion sensor to collect real-time emotional data from the user, including facial expression data (facial expression frames analyzed using OpenCV) and voice data (voice tone information analyzed using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text). The collected emotional data is temporarily stored in a database.

[0471] Step 3:

[0472] The device then packets the user's input information and collected emotion data and sends them to the server using the HTTP / HTTPS protocol. The transmitted data includes travel destination, budget, things to do, and real-time emotion data.

[0473] Step 4:

[0474] The server analyzes the received packets and stores information about the user's travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, as well as real-time emotion data, in a database that already contains information about tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options.

[0475] Step 5:

[0476] Based on the received user's travel destination, the server retrieves information about attractions, accommodations, and transportation from databases and external APIs, such as the Google Places API and other public travel-related APIs.

[0477] Step 6:

[0478] The server generates an initial itinerary based on the destination, budget, and activities. For example, it uses Python or the Django framework to generate a schedule that combines the acquired tourist spot information. This schedule is temporarily saved in JSON format.

[0479] Step 7:

[0480] The emotion engine analyzes the collected user emotion data and evaluates the user's reaction to the initial travel plan. For example, if a user shows a positive reaction (e.g., happy facial expression, excited tone of voice) to a particular tourist spot, the emotion engine adds a more detailed activity including that spot.

[0481] Step 8:

[0482] The server generates an optimized travel plan based on the emotion data. The schedule and activities are adjusted based on the data evaluated by the emotion engine, and the new plan is saved in JSON format.

[0483] Step 9:

[0484] The server sends the optimized itinerary to the device using HTTP / HTTPS protocol, with the data packetized in JSON format.

[0485] Step 10:

[0486] The device visually displays the received optimized travel plan to the user, for example, through a virtual agent interface (powered by Unity or Unreal Engine 4) to present the user with a customized itinerary.

[0487] Step 11:

[0488] The user enters feedback on the travel plan, and emotion data is collected again and sent to the server as needed. This feedback loop further optimizes the travel plan.

[0489] Through the above processing steps, the user can obtain a customized travel plan based on real-time emotion data.

[0490] 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.

[0491] 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.

[0505] Next, a description will be given of the identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0506] This invention relates to a system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do with a server that analyzes the received information and creates an appropriate travel plan. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel plan.

[0507] System Overview

[0508] First, the user uses a terminal to input travel destinations, budgets, and things to do. This information is then sent from the terminal to a server via communication means. The server analyzes the sent information and collects information on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation based on it. Next, the server generates an appropriate travel plan that fits the budget based on the collected data. This travel plan is then sent back to the terminal via communication means, and the terminal visually displays it to the user.

[0509] Program processing

[0510] 1. User request input

[0511] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the terminal interface. For example, the user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[0512] 2. Sending and Receiving Data

[0513] The terminal packetizes the input information and sends it to the server, which then analyzes the received packets and checks their contents.

[0514] 3. Data Analysis and Plan Generation

[0515] The server generates a travel plan based on the following information:

[0516] Travel destinations: Collect historical tourist spots at travel destinations (e.g., Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine) from a database or external API.

[0517] Budget: Choose accommodation and transportation that fits your budget (e.g., business hotel, regular Shinkansen seat).

[0518] What you want to do: Incorporate the places you want to visit and the activities you want to experience into a specific schedule. For example, generate a schedule such as "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning," "Visit Kinkaku-ji Temple in the afternoon," and "Have dinner in Gion."

[0519] 4. Submit your plan

[0520] The server transmits the generated itinerary to the terminal, which then displays the detailed itinerary in a format that is easy for the user to view.

[0521] Specific examples

[0522] For example, if a user inputs into the terminal, "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," the server will generate the following itinerary:

[0523] json

[0524] {

[0525] "day_1": {

[0526] "morning": "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple",

[0527] "afternoon": "Visit Kinkakuji Temple",

[0528] "evening": "Dinner in Gion"

[0529] },

[0530] "day_2": {

[0531] "morning": "Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine",

[0532] "afternoon": "Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum",

[0533] "evening": "Strolling around town"

[0534] }

[0535] }

[0536] This plan is sent to the terminal, which visualizes it for the user, who can then enjoy a trip based on this plan.

[0537] This system automatically generates a customized travel plan based on the user's input information, allowing the user to have a satisfying travel plan without any hassle. A short-term time-killing plan can also be generated using the same procedure. For example, if the user inputs "I want to kill two hours" and "I'm in Shibuya," the following plan will be generated:

[0538] json

[0539] {

[0540] "1st_hour": "Photoshoot at Shibuya Scramble Crossing",

[0541] "2nd_hour": "Reading while drinking coffee at a cafe"

[0542] }

[0543] This system allows users to use their time efficiently and easily get the experience they want.

[0544] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0545] Step 1:

[0546] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the device interface. For example, they input information such as "I want to go to Tokyo," "My budget is 50,000 yen," and "I want to visit tourist spots."

[0547] Step 2:

[0548] The terminal packetizes the input data and generates an API request to send to the server.

[0549] Step 3:

[0550] The terminal transmits the generated data packet to the server, and at this time, the data is transferred via the communication means.

[0551] Step 4:

[0552] The server receives the data packets sent from the device, analyzes the received data, and obtains information about the travel destination, budget, and what the user wants to do.

[0553] Step 5:

[0554] The server then uses the information it receives to gather detailed data about the destination, such as pulling information about tourist attractions and accommodations from external APIs or internal databases.

[0555] Step 6:

[0556] The server adjusts the price based on the budget and selects available accommodations and transportation options (e.g., hotels, bullet trains, rental cars, etc.) within the budget.

[0557] Step 7:

[0558] The server selects specific activities and tourist spots based on the user's description of what they want to do (e.g., sightseeing), and creates a schedule.

[0559] Step 8:

[0560] The server generates a travel plan based on the collected information and the set schedule. As a concrete example, we will create the following plan:

[0561] json

[0562] {

[0563] "day_1": {

[0564] "morning": "Visit Sensoji Temple",

[0565] "afternoon": "visit Skytree",

[0566] "evening": "Dinner in Ginza"

[0567] },

[0568] "day_2": {

[0569] "morning": "Visit Akihabara",

[0570] "afternoon": "Visit Ueno Zoo",

[0571] "evening": "Strolling around Shinjuku"

[0572] }

[0573] }

[0574] Step 9:

[0575] The server packetizes the generated travel plan and transmits it to the terminal via the transmission means.

[0576] Step 10:

[0577] The terminal analyzes the received packets and displays the travel plan to the user in a visually easy-to-understand format, for example, a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[0578] As described above, a system is realized in which users, terminals, and servers work together to generate and provide efficient and satisfying travel plans.

[0579] Example 1

[0580] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0581] Traditionally, when planning a trip, users have had to individually research information such as the places they want to go, their budget, and accommodations, and then decide on a schedule, which requires a lot of effort. Furthermore, there have been few systems that can automatically generate travel plans that cover all the relevant information and meet users' needs. This has resulted in issues such as the time and effort required, making it difficult to create a satisfactory travel plan.

[0582] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0583] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface through which a user inputs travel destinations, budgets, and things to do, communication means for receiving the user's input information transmitted from the terminal, analysis means for analyzing the input information and generating a travel plan, means for acquiring information on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation using a Google Maps API, tourist information API, etc., means for selecting accommodations and transportation based on the user's budget, means for creating a specific travel itinerary, transmission means for transmitting the generated travel plan to the terminal, and display means for displaying the travel plan to the user. This allows users to efficiently obtain a travel plan that suits their needs without any hassle.

[0584] A "user" is a person who inputs information and uses the system to plan a trip.

[0585] A "terminal" is a device that a user uses to operate an input interface, and includes a smartphone, a personal computer, and the like.

[0586] "Communication means" refers to the network technology used to send and receive information from a terminal to a server, and includes Wi-Fi and mobile data communications.

[0587] The "analysis means" is a component that has the function of analyzing the user's input information sent from the terminal and generating an appropriate travel plan.

[0588] A "travel plan" is a travel itinerary created based on the user's travel conditions, and includes information on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation.

[0589] "Google Maps API" is an application program interface provided by Google for obtaining map data and location information.

[0590] A "tourism information API" is an application program interface that provides tourism-related data and is used to obtain information on tourist attractions and accommodations.

[0591] "Transmission means" refers to a communication technique for sending the travel plan generated by the server back to the terminal.

[0592] The "display means" refers to a device or software for displaying the received travel plan in a format that is easy for the user to view.

[0593] A "travel destination" is a destination that a user wants to visit.

[0594] "Budget" refers to the amount of money you can spend on your trip, including accommodation and transportation costs.

[0595] "Things to do" refers to the activities a user wants to experience and the places they want to visit while traveling.

[0597] "Transportation" refers to the means or means of transportation used during a trip, including airplanes, trains, buses, etc.

[0598] A "travel itinerary" is a schedule showing the planned activities for each day during the trip.

[0599] This invention relates to a system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do with a server that analyzes the received information and generates an appropriate travel plan. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel plan.

[0600] Hardware and Software

[0601] The system operates using the following hardware and software:

[0602] Device (used by the user): Smartphone, personal computer, etc. Used via a web browser or mobile application.

[0603] Server: Server equipment of a large-scale cloud service (e.g., AWS). MySQL is used as the database management system, and Google Maps API and other tourist information APIs are used to obtain tourist information.

[0604] Communication method: Internet connection. Use Wi-Fi or mobile data (4G / 5G).

[0605] Program processing

[0606] 1. Enter user information

[0607] The user uses the input interface of the terminal to input the desired travel destination, budget, and things to do, and the user's basic travel conditions are registered in the terminal.

[0608] Example: A user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[0609] 2. Data transmission

[0610] The terminal then packets the input information and sends it to the server, using the HTTPS communication protocol to ensure data security.

[0611] 3. Data analysis on the server

[0612] The server parses the received data and extracts the user's input information. It deserializes the JSON format data and identifies the "travel destination," "budget," and "things to do." The parser then retrieves the appropriate tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options from the database based on this information.

[0613] 4. Generate a travel plan

[0614] The server generates a travel plan with the following structure:

[0615] Travel Destinations: We use the Google Maps API and other tourist information APIs to collect information about tourist attractions in user-specified travel destinations.

[0616] Budget: The system selects the most appropriate accommodation and transportation options from a database within the user's budget. Specifically, it targets business hotels and general transportation options (e.g., regular seats on the Shinkansen).

[0617] What I want to do: Create a schedule for the day that includes the tourist spots and activities the user wants to see.

[0618] For example, the following itinerary is generated:

[0619] Day 1:

[0620] Morning: Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple

[0621] Afternoon: Visit Kinkakuji Temple

[0622] Evening: Dinner in Gion

[0623] Day 2:

[0624] Morning: Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine

[0625] Afternoon: Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum

[0626] Evening: Stroll around town

[0627] 5. Sending and displaying plans to your device

[0628] The server sends the generated travel plan to the terminal, which receives it and displays it in a visually easy-to-understand format for the user. The user can check the schedule on the screen and easily understand the plan for each day.

[0629] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0630] The user has entered "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places." Based on this information, please generate a specific schedule for Day 1 and Day 2. Please include plans for each time period: morning, afternoon, and evening.

[0631] The system described above allows users to easily and efficiently plan their trips, increasing their satisfaction with the trip. The system also provides individual plans that can accommodate short periods of leisure time, making it possible to propose plans that meet the diverse needs of users.

[0632] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0633] Processing flow

[0634] Step 1:

[0635] The user uses the input interface of the device to input the travel destination, budget, and things to do. Specifically, the user inputs information such as "travel destination (e.g., Kyoto)," "budget (e.g., 30,000 yen)," and "things to do (e.g., visit historical sites)" into a web form on their smartphone or PC. Once this input is complete, the device displays a message to the user confirming that the input is complete.

[0636] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[0637] Output: Check the input information and generate the data to be sent

[0638] Step 2:

[0639] The terminal packetizes the input information and sends it to the server via HTTPS. Specifically, the terminal encodes the user's input information as JSON format data and sends it to the server using a secure protocol. The terminal also monitors the status during transmission to confirm whether the transmission was successful.

[0640] Input: User input information (JSON format)

[0641] Output: Input sent to the server

[0642] Step 3:

[0643] The server parses the received packet and extracts the input information. Specifically, the server deserializes the JSON format data and extracts the "travel destination," "budget," and "things to do." The server then validates the input information, filtering out incomplete or invalid data and notifying the user if an error message needs to be generated.

[0644] Input: JSON format input information sent from the terminal

[0645] Output: Extracted information about travel destinations, budget, and things to do

[0646] Step 4:

[0647] Based on the acquired information, the server uses APIs to collect data on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options. Specifically, it calls the Google Maps API and tourist information API to obtain information on tourist spots at the user's designated travel destination. Based on the API response, it queries the database to extract accommodations and transportation options that fit the user's budget.

[0648] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[0649] Output: Information on attractions, accommodations, and transportation

[0650] Step 5:

[0651] The server generates a specific travel itinerary based on the collected information. For example, it creates a full-day schedule that includes "visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning," "visiting Kinkaku-ji Temple in the afternoon," and "having dinner in Gion." It allocates activities according to the user's preferences by time slot and creates a specific plan for each day.

[0652] Input: Information on attractions, accommodations, and transportation

[0653] Output: Generated specific travel plan (schedule)

[0654] Step 6:

[0655] The server then packets the generated itinerary and sends it to the terminal. The HTTPS protocol ensures secure transmission. The terminal then analyzes the received data and displays it in a format that is easy for the user to understand. Specifically, the terminal displays the travel itinerary in an application or web page, allowing the user to check the itinerary.

[0656] Input: Generated travel plan (packet)

[0657] Output: A detailed trip plan displayed to the user

[0658] Step 7:

[0659] The user can then proceed with preparations for their trip based on the displayed travel plan. While viewing the specific itinerary, the user can confirm the places and times to visit, make any necessary reservations, and make any other preparations. By referring to this plan, the user can smoothly enjoy their trip.

[0660] Input: Detailed travel plan displayed on the device

[0661] Output: Trip preparation and execution

[0662] In this way, this system efficiently generates an appropriate and detailed travel plan based on the information input by the user and provides it to the user.

[0663] (Application example 1)

[0664] 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."

[0665] In recent years, automatic travel plan generation systems have become widespread. However, these systems are specialized in generating travel plans and do not consider suggesting viewing content for users to enjoy while traveling. This poses a challenge, making it difficult to comprehensively improve the travel experience. Furthermore, a solution is needed to save users the trouble of having to select content to view at their travel destinations from scratch.

[0666] 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.

[0667] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface for a user to input travel destinations, budgets, and things to do, a communication means for receiving the user's input information transmitted from the terminal, an analysis means for analyzing the input information and generating a travel plan and a viewing content plan, a transmission means for transmitting the generated travel plan and viewing content plan to the terminal, and a display means for displaying the travel plan and viewing content plan to the user, thereby enabling the user to make comprehensive plans not only during the trip but also including the viewing content to be enjoyed at the travel destination.

[0668] A "terminal" is a device that includes an interface for users to input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do.

[0669] The "communication means" is a means for receiving user input information transmitted from the terminal.

[0670] The "analysis means" is a technology for analyzing the input information and generating a travel plan and a viewing content plan.

[0671] The "transmission means" is a means for transmitting the generated travel plan and audiovisual content plan to the terminal.

[0672] The "display means" is a means for displaying the travel plan and the audiovisual content plan to the user.

[0673] A "trip plan" is a travel schedule and plan generated based on a user's specified travel destination, budget, and activities.

[0674] A "viewing content plan" is a plan for proposing content (movies, dramas, documentaries, etc.) that a user wants to view.

[0675] "User input information" refers to information such as travel destination, budget, and things to do that the user inputs into the terminal.

[0676] A "travel destination" is a geographical location or area that a user would like to visit.

[0677] A "budget" is the upper limit of the amount of money a user can spend on travel or viewing content.

[0678] "Things to do" refers to information about activities that the user wants to experience and places that the user wants to visit at the travel destination.

[0679] This invention relates to a system that combines a terminal with an interface through which users input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, with a server that analyzes the input information and generates travel plans and viewing content plans. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel and viewing experience.

[0680] System Overview

[0681] First, the user uses a terminal to input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do. This information is then sent from the terminal to a server via communication means. The server analyzes the received information and collects information on tourist spots, accommodations, transportation options, and content to watch. Next, the server uses the collected data to generate an appropriate travel plan and content to watch that fits the user's budget. This plan is then sent back to the terminal via communication means, and the terminal visually displays it to the user.

[0682] Program processing

[0683] The server runs a program that analyzes the information entered by the user about travel destinations, budgets, and things to do. The program, implemented in a programming language such as Python, retrieves information from a database of tourist attractions and video content, and generates an optimal plan based on the user's preferences.

[0684] 1. Hardware and Software Use:

[0685] Hardware: Smartphones, servers

[0686] Software: Python program, Flask (web framework), SQLite (database)

[0687] 2. Data processing and calculation:

[0688] Parsing user input information: The information entered by the user on the device is parsed and the server receives the travel destination, budget, and what the user wants to do.

[0689] Database access: Retrieves information on tourist attractions, accommodations, transportation options, and viewing content from the database and extracts data that meets the user's requirements.

[0690] Plan generation: Travel plans and viewing content plans are automatically generated based on the extracted data.

[0691] Specific examples

[0692] For example, if a user inputs into the terminal, "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," the server will generate the following travel plan and viewing content plan:

[0693] json

[0694] {

[0695] "day_1": {

[0716] That's it. What kind of work would you like?"

[0717] This system allows users to make comprehensive plans that include not only their viewing experience during their trip, but also their viewing experience at their destination.

[0718] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0719] Step 1:

[0720] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and things to do using the terminal. The terminal receives the user's input information, packets it, and sends it to the server.

[0721] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[0722] Output: Packetized user input information

[0723] Step 2:

[0724] The server receives the user's input information sent from the terminal, analyzes the packetized information, and confirms the user's needs.

[0725] Input: Packetized user input information

[0726] Output: Analyzed user needs

[0727] Step 3:

[0741] Input: Packetized travel plans and viewing content plans

[0742] Output: Travel plan and viewing content plan displayed to the user

[0743] 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.

[0744] This invention relates to a system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, a server that analyzes the received information and generates an appropriate travel plan, and an emotion engine that adjusts the plan using the user's real-time and past emotion data.The system aims to provide users with personalized travel plans that will give them a high level of satisfaction.

[0745] System Overview

[0746] First, the user uses a device to input travel destinations, budget, and things to do. This information is then sent from the device to a server via communication means. At the same time, the device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect the user's emotional data and send it to the server. The server analyzes the sent information and emotional data and generates a travel plan based on it. The generated plan is then adjusted in real time based on the user's emotions. This travel plan is then sent back to the device via communication means, and the device visually displays it to the user.

[0747] Program processing

[0748] 1. User request input

[0749] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the terminal interface. For example, the user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[0750] 2. Collecting Emotional Data

[0751] The device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and other emotional indicators in real time, and this data is analyzed by the emotion engine.

[0752] 3. Sending and Receiving Data

[0753] The device packets the input information and emotion data and sends them to the server, which then analyzes the received packets and obtains the information.

[0754] 4. Data Analysis and Plan Generation

[0755] The server generates a travel plan based on the following information:

[0756] Travel Destinations: Collect information about tourist attractions, accommodations, and transportation options at travel destinations from databases and external APIs.

[0757] Budget: Choose accommodation and transportation that fits your budget.

[0758] What to do: Include specific itineraries of places users want to visit and activities they want to experience.

[0759] Emotional Data: Based on the user's real-time and historical emotional data, we tailor our plans to maximize user satisfaction.

[0760] 5. Emotion-Based Regulation

[0761] The server uses the emotional data to evaluate how the user reacts to the selected plan and optimizes the plan in real time. For example, if the user expresses positive emotions toward a particular tourist spot, it will add other activities centered around that spot.

[0762] 6. Submitting and Viewing Plans

[0763] The server sends the adjusted travel plan to the terminal, and the terminal visualizes it for the user, for example, by displaying a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[0764] Specific examples

[0765] For example, if a user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," and the analysis further reveals that the user's emotional data indicates a happy reaction to certain tourist spots, the server will generate the following itinerary:

[0766] json

[0767] {

[0768] "day_1": {

[0769] "morning": "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple",

[0770] "afternoon": "Visit Kinkakuji Temple",

[0771] "evening": "Dinner in Gion"

[0772] },

[0773] "day_2": {

[0774] "morning": "Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine",

[0775] "afternoon": "Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum",

[0776] "evening": "Additional activity at spots users particularly enjoyed"

[0777] }

[0778] }

[0779] This system provides personalized travel plans based on user input and real-time emotional data. This allows users to plan trips that fit their preferences without any hassle. The introduction of an emotional engine makes it possible to provide an even more satisfying experience.

[0780] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0781] Step 1:

[0782] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the device interface. For example, they input information such as "I want to go to Tokyo," "My budget is 50,000 yen," and "I want to visit tourist spots."

[0783] Step 2:

[0784] The device packetizes the input data and generates an API request to send to the server.

[0785] Step 3:

[0786] The terminal transmits the generated data packet to the server, and at this time, the data is transferred via the communication means.

[0787] Step 4:

[0788] The device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect emotional indicators such as facial expressions, tone of voice, and body temperature in real time. This data is analyzed by the emotion engine to generate emotional data.

[0789] Step 5:

[0790] The terminal packetizes the generated emotion data and transmits it to the server. At this time, the data is transferred via a communication means.

[0791] Step 6:

[0792] The server receives the user's input information and emotion data sent from the terminal.

[0793] Step 7:

[0794] The server analyzes the received data to obtain information about the travel destination, budget, and what to do, while also analyzing the emotion data.

[0795] Step 8:

[0796] The server collects detailed data about the travel destination (such as tourist attractions, accommodations, and transportation options) based on the acquired information, for example by retrieving the necessary information from an external API or an internal database.

[0797] Step 9:

[0798] The server adjusts the price based on the budget and selects available accommodations and transportation options (e.g., hotels, bullet trains, buses, etc.) within the budget.

[0799] Step 10:

[0800] The server selects and schedules specific activities and tourist spots based on the user's stated "what I want to do" (e.g., sightseeing).

[0801] Step 11:

[0802] The server evaluates the user's real-time emotional trends based on the emotion data and adjusts the travel plan accordingly: for example, if the user expresses positive emotions toward a particular tourist spot, it will add more related activities around that spot.

[0803] Step 12:

[0804] The server generates a travel plan that takes into account the collected information and emotional data. As a concrete example, we will build the following plan:

[0805] json

[0806] {

[0807] "day_1": {

[0808] "morning": "Visit Sensoji Temple",

[0809] "afternoon": "visit Skytree",

[0810] "evening": "Dinner in Ginza"

[0811] },

[0812] "day_2": {

[0813] "morning": "Visit Akihabara",

[0814] "afternoon": "Visit Ueno Zoo",

[0815] "evening": "Strolling around Shinjuku"

[0816] }

[0817] }

[0818] Step 13:

[0819] The server packetizes the generated travel plan and transmits it to the terminal through the transmission means.

[0820] Step 14:

[0821] The terminal analyzes the received packets and displays the travel plan to the user in a visually easy-to-understand format, for example, displaying a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[0822] As described above, a system has been realized in which users, terminals, and servers work together to generate and provide efficient and satisfying travel plans. The introduction of an emotion engine will provide even more personalized plans, improving the user experience.

[0823] Example 2

[0896] (Application example 2)

[0897] 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."

[0898] Conventional travel plan creation systems generate travel plans based on user input information, but they are unable to adjust the plans taking into account the user's emotions or real-time reactions. This makes it difficult to provide customized travel plans that maximize user satisfaction. In particular, there is a need for a system that can create travel plans in a virtual space and adjust them based on real-time emotional data. To solve this problem, a new system and method are needed.

[0899] 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.

[0900] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface through which the user inputs travel destinations, budgets, and things to do, communication means for receiving the user's input information sent from the terminal, analysis means for analyzing the input information and emotion data and generating a travel plan, transmission means for sending the generated travel plan to the terminal, display means for displaying the travel plan to the user, and an emotion engine for adjusting the plan based on the user's real-time and past emotion data, thereby making it possible to provide a customized travel plan that is optimized in real time based on the user's emotions.

[0925] 5. Adjustment and Display: The generated itinerary is adjusted in real time based on the emotion data and sent to the device, which visually presents the customized itinerary to the user.

[0926] Specific examples

[0927] For example, if a user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," and the emotional data is analyzed to indicate that "I react with joy to certain tourist spots," the server will generate the following travel plan:

[0928] Travel plan example

[0929] The suggested plan is to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning on the first day, Kinkaku-ji Temple in the afternoon, and have dinner in Gion in the evening. On the second day, you can visit Fushimi Inari in the morning and the Kyoto International Manga Museum in the afternoon, and then enjoy additional activities at spots you particularly enjoy in the evening.

[0930] Example prompts for generative AI models

[0931] "The user wants to visit historical places. The budget is 30,000 yen, and the destination is Kyoto. Please suggest an ideal itinerary that includes tourist spots such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, and Gion. Please optimize the itinerary by taking into account the user's sentiment data."

[0932] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0933] Step 1:

[0934] The user inputs their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do through the device interface. The input information is temporarily stored on the user's device. The input data can be in the form of text data or voice data. For example, the information input here is "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[0935] Step 2:

[0936] The device uses a built-in camera, microphone, and emotion sensor to collect real-time emotional data from the user, including facial expression data (facial expression frames analyzed using OpenCV) and voice data (voice tone information analyzed using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text). The collected emotional data is temporarily stored in a database.

[0937] Step 3:

[0938] The device then packets the user's input information and collected emotion data and sends them to the server using the HTTP / HTTPS protocol. The transmitted data includes travel destination, budget, things to do, and real-time emotion data.

[0939] Step 4:

[0940] The server analyzes the received packets and stores information about the user's travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, as well as real-time emotion data, in a database that already contains information about tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options.

[0941] Step 5:

[0942] Based on the received user's travel destination, the server retrieves information about attractions, accommodations, and transportation from databases and external APIs, such as the Google Places API and other public travel-related APIs.

[0943] Step 6:

[0944] The server generates an initial itinerary based on the destination, budget, and activities. For example, it uses Python or the Django framework to generate a schedule that combines the acquired tourist spot information. This schedule is temporarily saved in JSON format.

[0945] Step 7:

[0946] The emotion engine analyzes the collected user emotion data and evaluates the user's reaction to the initial travel plan. For example, if a user shows a positive reaction (e.g., happy facial expression, excited tone of voice) to a particular tourist spot, the emotion engine adds a more detailed activity including that spot.

[0947] Step 8:

[0948] The server generates an optimized travel plan based on the emotion data. The schedule and activities are adjusted based on the data evaluated by the emotion engine, and the new plan is saved in JSON format.

[0949] Step 9:

[0950] The server sends the optimized itinerary to the device using HTTP / HTTPS protocol, with the data packetized in JSON format.

[0951] Step 10:

[0952] The device visually displays the received optimized travel plan to the user, for example, through a virtual agent interface (powered by Unity or Unreal Engine 4) to present the user with a customized itinerary.

[0953] Step 11:

[0954] The user enters feedback on the travel plan, and emotion data is collected again and sent to the server as needed. This feedback loop further optimizes the travel plan.

[0955] Through the above processing steps, the user can obtain a customized travel plan based on real-time emotion data.

[0956] 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.

[0957] 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.

[0958] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the smart glasses 214.

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

[0972] This invention relates to a system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do with a server that analyzes the received information and creates an appropriate travel plan. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel plan.

[0973] System Overview

[0974] First, the user uses a terminal to input travel destinations, budgets, and things to do. This information is then sent from the terminal to a server via communication means. The server analyzes the sent information and collects information on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation based on it. Next, the server generates an appropriate travel plan that fits the budget based on the collected data. This travel plan is then sent back to the terminal via communication means, and the terminal visually displays it to the user.

[0975] Program processing

[0976] 1. User request input

[0977] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the terminal interface. For example, the user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[0978] 2. Sending and Receiving Data

[0979] The terminal packetizes the input information and sends it to the server, which then analyzes the received packets and checks their contents.

[0980] 3. Data Analysis and Plan Generation

[0981] The server generates a travel plan based on the following information:

[0982] Travel destinations: Collect historical tourist spots at travel destinations (e.g., Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine) from a database or external API.

[0983] Budget: Choose accommodation and transportation that fits your budget (e.g., business hotel, regular Shinkansen seat).

[0984] What you want to do: Incorporate the places you want to visit and the activities you want to experience into a specific schedule. For example, generate a schedule such as "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning," "Visit Kinkaku-ji Temple in the afternoon," and "Have dinner in Gion."

[0985] 4. Submit your plan

[0986] The server transmits the generated itinerary to the terminal, which then displays the detailed itinerary in a format that is easy for the user to view.

[0987] Specific examples

[0988] For example, if a user inputs into the terminal, "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," the server will generate the following itinerary:

[0989] json

[0990] {

[0991] "day_1": {

[0992] "morning": "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple",

[0993] "afternoon": "Visit Kinkakuji Temple",

[0994] "evening": "Dinner in Gion"

[0995] },

[0996] "day_2": {

[0997] "morning": "Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine",

[0998] "afternoon": "Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum",

[0999] "evening": "Strolling around town"

[1000] }

[1001] }

[1002] This plan is sent to the terminal, which visualizes it for the user, who can then enjoy a trip based on this plan.

[1003] This system automatically generates a customized travel plan based on the user's input information, allowing the user to have a satisfying travel plan without any hassle. A short-term time-killing plan can also be generated using the same procedure. For example, if the user inputs "I want to kill two hours" and "I'm in Shibuya," the following plan will be generated:

[1004] json

[1005] {

[1006] "1st_hour": "Photoshoot at Shibuya Scramble Crossing",

[1007] "2nd_hour": "Reading while drinking coffee at a cafe"

[1008] }

[1009] This system allows users to use their time efficiently and easily get the experience they want.

[1010] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1011] Step 1:

[1012] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the device interface. For example, they input information such as "I want to go to Tokyo," "My budget is 50,000 yen," and "I want to visit tourist spots."

[1013] Step 2:

[1014] The terminal packetizes the input data and generates an API request to send to the server.

[1015] Step 3:

[1016] The terminal transmits the generated data packet to the server, and at this time, the data is transferred via the communication means.

[1017] Step 4:

[1018] The server receives the data packets sent from the device, analyzes the received data, and obtains information about the travel destination, budget, and what the user wants to do.

[1019] Step 5:

[1020] The server then uses the information it receives to gather detailed data about the destination, such as pulling information about tourist attractions and accommodations from external APIs or internal databases.

[1021] Step 6:

[1022] The server adjusts the price based on the budget and selects available accommodations and transportation options (e.g., hotels, bullet trains, rental cars, etc.) within the budget.

[1023] Step 7:

[1024] The server selects specific activities and tourist spots based on the user's description of what they want to do (e.g., sightseeing), and creates a schedule.

[1025] Step 8:

[1026] The server generates a travel plan based on the collected information and the set schedule. As a concrete example, we will create the following plan:

[1027] json

[1028] {

[1029] "day_1": {

[1030] "morning": "Visit Sensoji Temple",

[1031] "afternoon": "visit Skytree",

[1032] "evening": "Dinner in Ginza"

[1033] },

[1034] "day_2": {

[1035] "morning": "Visit Akihabara",

[1036] "afternoon": "Visit Ueno Zoo",

[1037] "evening": "Strolling around Shinjuku"

[1038] }

[1039] }

[1040] Step 9:

[1041] The server packetizes the generated travel plan and transmits it to the terminal via the transmission means.

[1042] Step 10:

[1043] The terminal analyzes the received packets and displays the travel plan to the user in a visually easy-to-understand format, for example, a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[1044] As described above, a system is realized in which users, terminals, and servers work together to generate and provide efficient and satisfying travel plans.

[1065] This invention relates to a system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do with a server that analyzes the received information and generates an appropriate travel plan. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel plan.

[1066] Hardware and Software

[1067] The system operates using the following hardware and software:

[1068] Device (used by the user): Smartphone, personal computer, etc. Used via a web browser or mobile application.

[1069] Server: Server equipment of a large-scale cloud service (e.g., AWS). MySQL is used as the database management system, and Google Maps API and other tourist information APIs are used to obtain tourist information.

[1070] Communication method: Internet connection. Use Wi-Fi or mobile data (4G / 5G).

[1071] Program processing

[1072] 1. Enter user information

[1073] The user uses the input interface of the terminal to input the desired travel destination, budget, and things to do, and the user's basic travel conditions are registered in the terminal.

[1074] Example: A user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[1075] 2. Data transmission

[1076] The terminal then packets the input information and sends it to the server, using the HTTPS communication protocol to ensure data security.

[1077] 3. Data analysis on the server

[1078] The server parses the received data and extracts the user's input information. It deserializes the JSON format data and identifies the "travel destination," "budget," and "things to do." The parser then retrieves the appropriate tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options from the database based on this information.

[1079] 4. Generate a travel plan

[1080] The server generates a travel plan with the following structure:

[1081] Travel Destinations: We use the Google Maps API and other tourist information APIs to collect information about tourist attractions in user-specified travel destinations.

[1082] Budget: The system selects the most appropriate accommodation and transportation options from a database within the user's budget. Specifically, it targets business hotels and general transportation options (e.g., regular seats on the Shinkansen).

[1083] What I want to do: Create a schedule for the day that includes the tourist spots and activities the user wants to see.

[1084] For example, the following itinerary is generated:

[1085] Day 1:

[1086] Morning: Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple

[1087] Afternoon: Visit Kinkakuji Temple

[1091] Afternoon: Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum

[1092] Evening: Stroll around town

[1093] 5. Sending and displaying plans to your device

[1094] The server sends the generated travel plan to the terminal, which receives it and displays it in a visually easy-to-understand format for the user. The user can check the schedule on the screen and easily understand the plan for each day.

[1095] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1096] The user has entered "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places." Based on this information, please generate a specific schedule for Day 1 and Day 2. Please include plans for each time period: morning, afternoon, and evening.

[1097] The system described above allows users to easily and efficiently plan their trips, increasing their satisfaction with the trip. The system also provides individual plans that can accommodate short periods of leisure time, making it possible to propose plans that meet the diverse needs of users.

[1098] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1099] Processing flow

[1100] Step 1:

[1101] The user uses the input interface of the device to input the travel destination, budget, and things to do. Specifically, the user inputs information such as "travel destination (e.g., Kyoto)," "budget (e.g., 30,000 yen)," and "things to do (e.g., visit historical sites)" into a web form on their smartphone or PC. Once this input is complete, the device displays a message to the user confirming that the input is complete.

[1102] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[1103] Output: Check the input information and generate the data to be sent

[1104] Step 2:

[1105] The terminal packetizes the input information and sends it to the server via HTTPS. Specifically, the terminal encodes the user's input information as JSON format data and sends it to the server using a secure protocol. The terminal also monitors the status during transmission to confirm whether the transmission was successful.

[1106] Input: User input information (JSON format)

[1107] Output: Input sent to the server

[1108] Step 3:

[1109] The server parses the received packet and extracts the input information. Specifically, the server deserializes the JSON format data and extracts the "travel destination," "budget," and "things to do." The server then validates the input information, filtering out incomplete or invalid data and notifying the user if an error message needs to be generated.

[1110] Input: JSON format input information sent from the terminal

[1111] Output: Extracted information about travel destinations, budget, and things to do

[1112] Step 4:

[1113] Based on the acquired information, the server uses APIs to collect data on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options. Specifically, it calls the Google Maps API and tourist information API to obtain information on tourist spots at the user's designated travel destination. Based on the API response, it queries the database to extract accommodations and transportation options that fit the user's budget.

[1114] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[1115] Output: Information on attractions, accommodations, and transportation

[1116] Step 5:

[1117] The server generates a specific travel itinerary based on the collected information. For example, it creates a full-day schedule that includes "visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning," "visiting Kinkaku-ji Temple in the afternoon," and "having dinner in Gion." It allocates activities according to the user's preferences by time slot and creates a specific plan for each day.

[1118] Input: Information on attractions, accommodations, and transportation

[1119] Output: Generated specific travel plan (schedule)

[1120] Step 6:

[1121] The server then packets the generated itinerary and sends it to the terminal. The HTTPS protocol ensures secure transmission. The terminal then analyzes the received data and displays it in a format that is easy for the user to understand. Specifically, the terminal displays the travel itinerary in an application or web page, allowing the user to check the itinerary.

[1122] Input: Generated travel plan (packet)

[1123] Output: A detailed trip plan displayed to the user

[1124] Step 7:

[1125] The user can then proceed with preparations for their trip based on the displayed travel plan. While viewing the specific itinerary, the user can confirm the places and times to visit, make any necessary reservations, and make any other preparations. By referring to this plan, the user can smoothly enjoy their trip.

[1126] Input: Detailed travel plan displayed on the device

[1127] Output: Trip preparation and execution

[1128] In this way, this system efficiently generates an appropriate and detailed travel plan based on the information input by the user and provides it to the user.

[1129] (Application example 1)

[1130] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1131] In recent years, automatic travel plan generation systems have become widespread. However, these systems are specialized in generating travel plans and do not consider suggesting viewing content for users to enjoy while traveling. This poses a challenge, making it difficult to comprehensively improve the travel experience. Furthermore, a solution is needed to save users the trouble of having to select content to view at their travel destinations from scratch.

[1132] 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.

[1133] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface for a user to input travel destinations, budgets, and things to do, a communication means for receiving the user's input information transmitted from the terminal, an analysis means for analyzing the input information and generating a travel plan and a viewing content plan, a transmission means for transmitting the generated travel plan and viewing content plan to the terminal, and a display means for displaying the travel plan and viewing content plan to the user, thereby enabling the user to make comprehensive plans not only during the trip but also including the viewing content to be enjoyed at the travel destination.

[1134] A "terminal" is a device that includes an interface for users to input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do.

[1135] The "communication means" is a means for receiving user input information transmitted from the terminal.

[1136] The "analysis means" is a technology for analyzing the input information and generating a travel plan and a viewing content plan.

[1137] The "transmission means" is a means for transmitting the generated travel plan and audiovisual content plan to the terminal.

[1138] The "display means" is a means for displaying the travel plan and the audiovisual content plan to the user.

[1139] A "trip plan" is a travel schedule and plan generated based on a user's specified travel destination, budget, and activities.

[1140] A "viewing content plan" is a plan for proposing content (movies, dramas, documentaries, etc.) that a user wants to view.

[1141] "User input information" refers to information such as travel destination, budget, and things to do that the user inputs into the terminal.

[1142] A "travel destination" is a geographical location or area that a user would like to visit.

[1143] A "budget" is the upper limit of the amount of money a user can spend on travel or viewing content.

[1144] "Things to do" refers to information about activities that the user wants to experience and places that the user wants to visit at the travel destination.

[1145] This invention relates to a system that combines a terminal with an interface through which users input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, with a server that analyzes the input information and generates travel plans and viewing content plans. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel and viewing experience.

[1146] System Overview

[1147] First, the user uses a terminal to input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do. This information is then sent from the terminal to a server via communication means. The server analyzes the received information and collects information on tourist spots, accommodations, transportation options, and content to watch. Next, the server uses the collected data to generate an appropriate travel plan and content to watch that fits the user's budget. This plan is then sent back to the terminal via communication means, and the terminal visually displays it to the user.

[1148] Program processing

[1149] The server runs a program that analyzes the information entered by the user about travel destinations, budgets, and things to do. The program, implemented in a programming language such as Python, retrieves information from a database of tourist attractions and video content, and generates an optimal plan based on the user's preferences.

[1150] 1. Hardware and Software Use:

[1151] Hardware: Smartphones, servers

[1152] Software: Python program, Flask (web framework), SQLite (database)

[1153] 2. Data processing and calculation:

[1154] Parsing user input information: The information entered by the user on the device is parsed and the server receives the travel destination, budget, and what the user wants to do.

[1155] Database access: Retrieves information on tourist attractions, accommodations, transportation options, and viewing content from the database and extracts data that meets the user's requirements.

[1156] Plan generation: Travel plans and viewing content plans are automatically generated based on the extracted data.

[1157] Specific examples

[1158] For example, if a user inputs into the terminal, "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," the server will generate the following travel plan and viewing content plan:

[1159] json

[1160] {

[1161] "day_1": {

[1162] "morning": "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple",

[1163] "afternoon": "Visit Kinkakuji Temple",

[1164] "evening": "Dinner in Gion"

[1165] },

[1166] "day_2": {

[1167] "morning": "Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine",

[1168] "afternoon": "Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum",

[1169] "evening": "Strolling around town"

[1170] },

[1171] "content_plan": [

[1172] {"title": "Movie A", "duration": 120, "category": "Action"},

[1173] {"title": "Drama A", "duration": 45, "category": "Action"}

[1174] ]

[1175] }

[1176] The user can enjoy the trip based on the generated plan, and can decide the content to view at the travel destination based on the viewing content plan.

[1177] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1178] "I'm looking for content to watch tonight. Create a recommended viewing plan based on the following information:

[1179] Category: Action, Drama

[1180] Budget: 1,500 yen

[1181] Available viewing time: 200 minutes

[1182] That's it. What kind of work would you like?"

[1183] This system allows users to make comprehensive plans that include not only their viewing experience during their trip, but also their viewing experience at their destination.

[1184] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1185] Step 1:

[1186] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and things to do using the terminal. The terminal receives the user's input information, packets it, and sends it to the server.

[1187] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[1188] Output: Packetized user input information

[1189] Step 2:

[1190] The server receives the user's input information sent from the terminal, analyzes the packetized information, and confirms the user's needs.

[1191] Input: Packetized user input information

[1192] Output: Analyzed user needs

[1193] Step 3:

[1194] The server retrieves information on tourist spots, accommodations, transportation options, and viewing content from a database or external API based on the analyzed user needs.

[1195] Input: Analyzed user needs

[1196] Output: Collected information on attractions, accommodation, transportation, and viewing content

[1197] Step 4:

[1198] The server generates a travel plan and a viewing content plan based on the collected information and the user's budget and what they want to do. Specifically, the server modifies the plan by listing tourist spots and accommodations that are within the user's budget, available means of transportation, and content that can be viewed during sightseeing or at accommodations.

[1199] Input: Collected information (tourist attractions, accommodation, transportation, viewing content), budget, things to do

[1200] Output: Generated travel plan and viewing content plan

[1201] Step 5:

[1202] The server packetizes the generated travel plan and viewing content plan and transmits them to the terminal.

[1203] Input: Generated travel plan and viewing content plan

[1204] Output: Packetized travel plans and viewing content plans

[1205] Step 6:

[1206] The terminal visually displays the received travel plan and viewing content plan for the user to confirm, and the user can enjoy the travel and viewing content based on the displayed plan.

[1207] Input: Packetized travel plans and viewing content plans

[1208] Output: Travel plan and viewing content plan displayed to the user

[1209] 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.

[1210] This invention relates to a system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, a server that analyzes the received information and generates an appropriate travel plan, and an emotion engine that adjusts the plan using the user's real-time and past emotion data.The system aims to provide users with personalized travel plans that will give them a high level of satisfaction.

[1211] System Overview

[1212] First, the user uses a device to input travel destinations, budget, and things to do. This information is then sent from the device to a server via communication means. At the same time, the device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect the user's emotional data and send it to the server. The server analyzes the sent information and emotional data and generates a travel plan based on it. The generated plan is then adjusted in real time based on the user's emotions. This travel plan is then sent back to the device via communication means, and the device visually displays it to the user.

[1213] Program processing

[1214] 1. User request input

[1215] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the terminal interface. For example, the user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[1216] 2. Collecting Emotional Data

[1217] The device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and other emotional indicators in real time, and this data is analyzed by the emotion engine.

[1218] 3. Sending and Receiving Data

[1219] The device packets the input information and emotion data and sends them to the server, which then analyzes the received packets and obtains the information.

[1220] 4. Data Analysis and Plan Generation

[1221] The server generates a travel plan based on the following information:

[1222] Travel Destinations: Collect information about tourist attractions, accommodations, and transportation options at travel destinations from databases and external APIs.

[1223] Budget: Choose accommodation and transportation that fits your budget.

[1224] What to do: Include specific itineraries of places users want to visit and activities they want to experience.

[1225] Emotional Data: Based on the user's real-time and historical emotional data, we tailor our plans to maximize user satisfaction.

[1226] 5. Emotion-Based Regulation

[1227] The server uses the emotional data to evaluate how the user reacts to the selected plan and optimizes the plan in real time. For example, if the user expresses positive emotions toward a particular tourist spot, it will add other activities centered around that spot.

[1228] 6. Submitting and Viewing Plans

[1229] The server sends the adjusted travel plan to the terminal, and the terminal visualizes it for the user, for example, by displaying a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[1230] Specific examples

[1231] For example, if a user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," and the analysis further reveals that the user's emotional data indicates a happy reaction to certain tourist spots, the server will generate the following itinerary:

[1232] json

[1233] {

[1234] "day_1": {

[1235] "morning": "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple",

[1236] "afternoon": "Visit Kinkakuji Temple",

[1237] "evening": "Dinner in Gion"

[1238] },

[1239] "day_2": {

[1240] "morning": "Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine",

[1241] "afternoon": "Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum",

[1242] "evening": "Additional activity at spots users particularly enjoyed"

[1243] }

[1244] }

[1245] This system provides personalized travel plans based on user input and real-time emotional data. This allows users to plan trips that fit their preferences without any hassle. The introduction of an emotional engine makes it possible to provide an even more satisfying experience.

[1246] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1247] Step 1:

[1248] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the device interface. For example, they input information such as "I want to go to Tokyo," "My budget is 50,000 yen," and "I want to visit tourist spots."

[1249] Step 2:

[1250] The device packetizes the input data and generates an API request to send to the server.

[1251] Step 3:

[1252] The terminal transmits the generated data packet to the server, and at this time, the data is transferred via the communication means.

[1253] Step 4:

[1254] The device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect emotional indicators such as facial expressions, tone of voice, and body temperature in real time. This data is analyzed by the emotion engine to generate emotional data.

[1255] Step 5:

[1256] The terminal packetizes the generated emotion data and transmits it to the server. At this time, the data is transferred via a communication means.

[1257] Step 6:

[1258] The server receives the user's input information and emotion data sent from the terminal.

[1259] Step 7:

[1260] The server analyzes the received data to obtain information about the travel destination, budget, and what to do, while also analyzing the emotion data.

[1261] Step 8:

[1262] The server collects detailed data about the travel destination (such as tourist attractions, accommodations, and transportation options) based on the acquired information, for example by retrieving the necessary information from an external API or an internal database.

[1263] Step 9:

[1264] The server adjusts the price based on the budget and selects available accommodations and transportation options (e.g., hotels, bullet trains, buses, etc.) within the budget.

[1265] Step 10:

[1266] The server selects and schedules specific activities and tourist spots based on the user's stated "what I want to do" (e.g., sightseeing).

[1267] Step 11:

[1268] The server evaluates the user's real-time emotional trends based on the emotion data and adjusts the travel plan accordingly: for example, if the user expresses positive emotions toward a particular tourist spot, it will add more related activities around that spot.

[1269] Step 12:

[1270] The server generates a travel plan that takes into account the collected information and emotional data. As a concrete example, we will build the following plan:

[1271] json

[1272] {

[1273] "day_1": {

[1274] "morning": "Visit Sensoji Temple",

[1275] "afternoon": "visit Skytree",

[1276] "evening": "Dinner in Ginza"

[1277] },

[1278] "day_2": {

[1279] "morning": "Visit Akihabara",

[1280] "afternoon": "Visit Ueno Zoo",

[1281] "evening": "Strolling around Shinjuku"

[1282] }

[1283] }

[1284] Step 13:

[1285] The server packetizes the generated travel plan and transmits it to the terminal through the transmission means.

[1286] Step 14:

[1287] The terminal analyzes the received packets and displays the travel plan to the user in a visually easy-to-understand format, for example, displaying a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[1288] As described above, a system has been realized in which users, terminals, and servers work together to generate and provide efficient and satisfying travel plans. The introduction of an emotion engine will provide even more personalized plans, improving the user experience.

[1289] Example 2

[1290] 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."

[1291] Conventional travel plan generation systems only generate plans based on basic information entered by the user (destination, budget, and things to do), and have the problem of making it difficult to flexibly adjust plans in response to the user's emotions and real-time feedback. This has led to a decrease in satisfaction during the trip, and many users feel that the level of personalization is insufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a system that utilizes user emotional data to optimize travel plans in real time.

[1292] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1293] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface through which the user inputs travel destination, budget, and things to do, communication means for receiving the user's input information and emotional data transmitted from the terminal, analysis means for analyzing the input information and emotional data and generating a travel plan, optimization means for adjusting the travel plan generated by the analysis means based on the user's emotions in real time, transmission means for transmitting the optimized travel plan to the terminal, and display means for displaying the travel plan to the user. This makes it possible to flexibly respond to the user's emotions and provide a personalized and highly satisfying travel plan.

[1294] A "terminal" is a device that allows a user to input travel destinations, budgets, and things to do.

[1295] "Communication means" refers to technical means for receiving user input information and emotion data sent from a terminal.

[1296] The "analysis means" is a technical means for analyzing the received input information and emotion data and generating a travel plan.

[1362] (Application example 2)

[1363] 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."

[1364] Conventional travel plan creation systems generate travel plans based on user input information, but they are unable to adjust the plans taking into account the user's emotions or real-time reactions. This makes it difficult to provide customized travel plans that maximize user satisfaction. In particular, there is a need for a system that can create travel plans in a virtual space and adjust them based on real-time emotional data. To solve this problem, a new system and method are needed.

[1365] 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.

[1366] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface through which the user inputs travel destinations, budgets, and things to do, communication means for receiving the user's input information sent from the terminal, analysis means for analyzing the input information and emotion data and generating a travel plan, transmission means for sending the generated travel plan to the terminal, display means for displaying the travel plan to the user, and an emotion engine for adjusting the plan based on the user's real-time and past emotion data, thereby making it possible to provide a customized travel plan that is optimized in real time based on the user's emotions.

[1391] 5. Adjustment and Display: The generated itinerary is adjusted in real time based on the emotion data and sent to the device, which visually presents the customized itinerary to the user.

[1392] Specific examples

[1393] For example, if a user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," and the emotional data is analyzed to indicate that "I react with joy to certain tourist spots," the server will generate the following travel plan:

[1394] Travel plan example

[1395] The suggested plan is to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning on the first day, Kinkaku-ji Temple in the afternoon, and have dinner in Gion in the evening. On the second day, you can visit Fushimi Inari in the morning and the Kyoto International Manga Museum in the afternoon, and then enjoy additional activities at spots you particularly enjoy in the evening.

[1396] Example prompts for generative AI models

[1397] "The user wants to visit historical places. The budget is 30,000 yen, and the destination is Kyoto. Please suggest an ideal itinerary that includes tourist spots such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, and Gion. Please optimize the itinerary by taking into account the user's sentiment data."

[1398] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1399] Step 1:

[1400] The user inputs their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do through the device interface. The input information is temporarily stored on the user's device. The input data can be in the form of text data or voice data. For example, the information input here is "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[1401] Step 2:

[1402] The device uses a built-in camera, microphone, and emotion sensor to collect real-time emotional data from the user, including facial expression data (facial expression frames analyzed using OpenCV) and voice data (voice tone information analyzed using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text). The collected emotional data is temporarily stored in a database.

[1403] Step 3:

[1404] The device then packets the user's input information and collected emotion data and sends them to the server using the HTTP / HTTPS protocol. The transmitted data includes travel destination, budget, things to do, and real-time emotion data.

[1405] Step 4:

[1406] The server analyzes the received packets and stores information about the user's travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, as well as real-time emotion data, in a database that already contains information about tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options.

[1407] Step 5:

[1408] Based on the received user's travel destination, the server retrieves information about attractions, accommodations, and transportation from databases and external APIs, such as the Google Places API and other public travel-related APIs.

[1409] Step 6:

[1410] The server generates an initial itinerary based on the destination, budget, and activities. For example, it uses Python or the Django framework to generate a schedule that combines the acquired tourist spot information. This schedule is temporarily saved in JSON format.

[1411] Step 7:

[1412] The emotion engine analyzes the collected user emotion data and evaluates the user's reaction to the initial travel plan. For example, if a user shows a positive reaction (e.g., happy facial expression, excited tone of voice) to a particular tourist spot, the emotion engine adds a more detailed activity including that spot.

[1413] Step 8:

[1414] The server generates an optimized travel plan based on the emotion data. The schedule and activities are adjusted based on the data evaluated by the emotion engine, and the new plan is saved in JSON format.

[1415] Step 9:

[1416] The server sends the optimized itinerary to the device using HTTP / HTTPS protocol, with the data packetized in JSON format.

[1417] Step 10:

[1418] The device visually displays the received optimized travel plan to the user, for example, through a virtual agent interface (powered by Unity or Unreal Engine 4) to present the user with a customized itinerary.

[1419] Step 11:

[1420] The user enters feedback on the travel plan, and emotion data is collected again and sent to the server as needed. This feedback loop further optimizes the travel plan.

[1421] Through the above processing steps, the user can obtain a customized travel plan based on real-time emotion data.

[1422] 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.

[1436] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290.

[1437] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the reception output process. A reception output program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the reception output program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read reception output program 60 on the RAM 48. The reception output process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the reception output program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[1438] Next, a description will be given of the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1439] This invention relates to a system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do with a server that analyzes the received information and creates an appropriate travel plan. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel plan.

[1440] System Overview

[1441] First, the user uses a terminal to input travel destinations, budgets, and things to do. This information is then sent from the terminal to a server via communication means. The server analyzes the sent information and collects information on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation based on it. Next, the server generates an appropriate travel plan that fits the budget based on the collected data. This travel plan is then sent back to the terminal via communication means, and the terminal visually displays it to the user.

[1442] Program processing

[1443] 1. User request input

[1444] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the terminal interface. For example, the user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[1445] 2. Sending and Receiving Data

[1446] The terminal packetizes the input information and sends it to the server, which then analyzes the received packets and checks their contents.

[1447] 3. Data Analysis and Plan Generation

[1448] The server generates a travel plan based on the following information:

[1449] Travel destinations: Collect historical tourist spots at travel destinations (e.g., Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine) from a database or external API.

[1450] Budget: Choose accommodation and transportation that fits your budget (e.g., business hotel, regular Shinkansen seat).

[1451] What you want to do: Incorporate the places you want to visit and the activities you want to experience into a specific schedule. For example, generate a schedule such as "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning," "Visit Kinkaku-ji Temple in the afternoon," and "Have dinner in Gion."

[1452] 4. Submit your plan

[1453] The server transmits the generated itinerary to the terminal, which then displays the detailed itinerary in a format that is easy for the user to view.

[1454] Specific examples

[1455] For example, if a user inputs into the terminal, "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," the server will generate the following itinerary:

[1456] json

[1457] {

[1458] "day_1": {

[1459] "morning": "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple",

[1460] "afternoon": "Visit Kinkakuji Temple",

[1461] "evening": "Dinner in Gion"

[1462] },

[1463] "day_2": {

[1464] "morning": "Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine",

[1465] "afternoon": "Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum",

[1466] "evening": "Strolling around town"

[1467] }

[1468] }

[1469] This plan is sent to the terminal, which visualizes it for the user, who can then enjoy a trip based on this plan.

[1470] This system automatically generates a customized travel plan based on the user's input information, allowing the user to have a satisfying travel plan without any hassle. A short-term time-killing plan can also be generated using the same procedure. For example, if the user inputs "I want to kill two hours" and "I'm in Shibuya," the following plan will be generated:

[1471] json

[1472] {

[1473] "1st_hour": "Photoshoot at Shibuya Scramble Crossing",

[1474] "2nd_hour": "Reading while drinking coffee at a cafe"

[1475] }

[1476] This system allows users to use their time efficiently and easily get the experience they want.

[1477] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1478] Step 1:

[1479] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the device interface. For example, they input information such as "I want to go to Tokyo," "My budget is 50,000 yen," and "I want to visit tourist spots."

[1480] Step 2:

[1481] The terminal packetizes the input data and generates an API request to send to the server.

[1482] Step 3:

[1483] The terminal transmits the generated data packet to the server, and at this time, the data is transferred via the communication means.

[1484] Step 4:

[1485] The server receives the data packets sent from the device, analyzes the received data, and obtains information about the travel destination, budget, and what the user wants to do.

[1486] Step 5:

[1487] The server then uses the information it receives to gather detailed data about the destination, such as pulling information about tourist attractions and accommodations from external APIs or internal databases.

[1488] Step 6:

[1489] The server adjusts the price based on the budget and selects available accommodations and transportation options (e.g., hotels, bullet trains, rental cars, etc.) within the budget.

[1490] Step 7:

[1491] The server selects specific activities and tourist spots based on the user's description of what they want to do (e.g., sightseeing), and creates a schedule.

[1492] Step 8:

[1493] The server generates a travel plan based on the collected information and the set schedule. As a concrete example, we will create the following plan:

[1494] json

[1495] {

[1496] "day_1": {

[1497] "morning": "Visit Sensoji Temple",

[1498] "afternoon": "visit Skytree",

[1499] "evening": "Dinner in Ginza"

[1500] },

[1501] "day_2": {

[1502] "morning": "Visit Akihabara",

[1503] "afternoon": "Visit Ueno Zoo",

[1504] "evening": "Strolling around Shinjuku"

[1505] }

[1506] }

[1507] Step 9:

[1508] The server packetizes the generated travel plan and transmits it to the terminal via the transmission means.

[1509] Step 10:

[1510] The terminal analyzes the received packets and displays the travel plan to the user in a visually easy-to-understand format, for example, a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[1511] As described above, a system is realized in which users, terminals, and servers work together to generate and provide efficient and satisfying travel plans.

[1512] Example 1

[1513] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1514] Traditionally, when planning a trip, users have had to individually research information such as the places they want to go, their budget, and accommodations, and then decide on a schedule, which requires a lot of effort. Furthermore, there have been few systems that can automatically generate travel plans that cover all the relevant information and meet users' needs. This has resulted in issues such as the time and effort required, making it difficult to create a satisfactory travel plan.

[1515] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1516] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface through which a user inputs travel destinations, budgets, and things to do, communication means for receiving the user's input information transmitted from the terminal, analysis means for analyzing the input information and generating a travel plan, means for acquiring information on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation using a Google Maps API, tourist information API, etc., means for selecting accommodations and transportation based on the user's budget, means for creating a specific travel itinerary, transmission means for transmitting the generated travel plan to the terminal, and display means for displaying the travel plan to the user. This allows users to efficiently obtain a travel plan that suits their needs without any hassle.

[1517] A "user" is a person who inputs information and uses the system to plan a trip.

[1518] A "terminal" is a device that a user uses to operate an input interface, and includes a smartphone, a personal computer, and the like.

[1519] "Communication means" refers to the network technology used to send and receive information from a terminal to a server, and includes Wi-Fi and mobile data communications.

[1520] The "analysis means" is a component that has the function of analyzing the user's input information sent from the terminal and generating an appropriate travel plan.

[1521] A "travel plan" is a travel itinerary created based on the user's travel conditions, and includes information on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation.

[1522] "Google Maps API" is an application program interface provided by Google for obtaining map data and location information.

[1523] A "tourism information API" is an application program interface that provides tourism-related data and is used to obtain information on tourist attractions and accommodations.

[1524] "Transmission means" refers to a communication technique for sending the travel plan generated by the server back to the terminal.

[1525] The "display means" refers to a device or software for displaying the received travel plan in a format that is easy for the user to view.

[1526] A "travel destination" is a destination that a user wants to visit.

[1527] "Budget" refers to the amount of money you can spend on your trip, including accommodation and transportation costs.

[1528] "Things to do" refers to the activities a user wants to experience and the places they want to visit while traveling.

[1529] "Accommodation" refers to a facility where a user can stay at a travel destination, and includes hotels, inns, etc.

[1530] "Transportation" refers to the means or means of transportation used during a trip, including airplanes, trains, buses, etc.

[1531] A "travel itinerary" is a schedule showing the planned activities for each day during the trip.

[1532] This invention relates to a system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do with a server that analyzes the received information and generates an appropriate travel plan. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel plan.

[1533] Hardware and Software

[1534] The system operates using the following hardware and software:

[1535] Device (used by the user): Smartphone, personal computer, etc. Used via a web browser or mobile application.

[1536] Server: Server equipment of a large-scale cloud service (e.g., AWS). MySQL is used as the database management system, and Google Maps API and other tourist information APIs are used to obtain tourist information.

[1537] Communication method: Internet connection. Use Wi-Fi or mobile data (4G / 5G).

[1538] Program processing

[1539] 1. Enter user information

[1540] The user uses the input interface of the terminal to input the desired travel destination, budget, and things to do, and the user's basic travel conditions are registered in the terminal.

[1541] Example: A user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[1542] 2. Data transmission

[1543] The terminal then packets the input information and sends it to the server, using the HTTPS communication protocol to ensure data security.

[1544] 3. Data analysis on the server

[1545] The server parses the received data and extracts the user's input information. It deserializes the JSON format data and identifies the "travel destination," "budget," and "things to do." The parser then retrieves the appropriate tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options from the database based on this information.

[1546] 4. Generate a travel plan

[1547] The server generates a travel plan with the following structure:

[1548] Travel Destinations: We use the Google Maps API and other tourist information APIs to collect information about tourist attractions in user-specified travel destinations.

[1549] Budget: The system selects the most appropriate accommodation and transportation options from a database within the user's budget. Specifically, it targets business hotels and general transportation options (e.g., regular seats on the Shinkansen).

[1550] What I want to do: Create a schedule for the day that includes the tourist spots and activities the user wants to see.

[1551] For example, the following itinerary is generated:

[1552] Day 1:

[1553] Morning: Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple

[1554] Afternoon: Visit Kinkakuji Temple

[1555] Evening: Dinner in Gion

[1556] Day 2:

[1557] Morning: Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine

[1558] Afternoon: Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum

[1559] Evening: Stroll around town

[1560] 5. Sending and displaying plans to your device

[1561] The server sends the generated travel plan to the terminal, which receives it and displays it in a visually easy-to-understand format for the user. The user can check the schedule on the screen and easily understand the plan for each day.

[1562] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1563] The user has entered "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places." Based on this information, please generate a specific schedule for Day 1 and Day 2. Please include plans for each time period: morning, afternoon, and evening.

[1564] The system described above allows users to easily and efficiently plan their trips, increasing their satisfaction with the trip. The system also provides individual plans that can accommodate short periods of leisure time, making it possible to propose plans that meet the diverse needs of users.

[1565] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1566] Processing flow

[1567] Step 1:

[1568] The user uses the input interface of the device to input the travel destination, budget, and things to do. Specifically, the user inputs information such as "travel destination (e.g., Kyoto)," "budget (e.g., 30,000 yen)," and "things to do (e.g., visit historical sites)" into a web form on their smartphone or PC. Once this input is complete, the device displays a message to the user confirming that the input is complete.

[1569] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[1570] Output: Check the input information and generate the data to be sent

[1571] Step 2:

[1572] The terminal packetizes the input information and sends it to the server via HTTPS. Specifically, the terminal encodes the user's input information as JSON format data and sends it to the server using a secure protocol. The terminal also monitors the status during transmission to confirm whether the transmission was successful.

[1573] Input: User input information (JSON format)

[1574] Output: Input sent to the server

[1575] Step 3:

[1576] The server parses the received packet and extracts the input information. Specifically, the server deserializes the JSON format data and extracts the "travel destination," "budget," and "things to do." The server then validates the input information, filtering out incomplete or invalid data and notifying the user if an error message needs to be generated.

[1577] Input: JSON format input information sent from the terminal

[1578] Output: Extracted information about travel destinations, budget, and things to do

[1579] Step 4:

[1580] Based on the acquired information, the server uses APIs to collect data on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options. Specifically, it calls the Google Maps API and tourist information API to obtain information on tourist spots at the user's designated travel destination. Based on the API response, it queries the database to extract accommodations and transportation options that fit the user's budget.

[1581] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[1582] Output: Information on attractions, accommodations, and transportation

[1583] Step 5:

[1584] The server generates a specific travel itinerary based on the collected information. For example, it creates a full-day schedule that includes "visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning," "visiting Kinkaku-ji Temple in the afternoon," and "having dinner in Gion." It allocates activities according to the user's preferences by time slot and creates a specific plan for each day.

[1585] Input: Information on attractions, accommodations, and transportation

[1586] Output: Generated specific travel plan (schedule)

[1587] Step 6:

[1588] The server then packets the generated itinerary and sends it to the terminal. The HTTPS protocol ensures secure transmission. The terminal then analyzes the received data and displays it in a format that is easy for the user to understand. Specifically, the terminal displays the travel itinerary in an application or web page, allowing the user to check the itinerary.

[1589] Input: Generated travel plan (packet)

[1590] Output: A detailed trip plan displayed to the user

[1591] Step 7:

[1592] The user can then proceed with preparations for their trip based on the displayed travel plan. While viewing the specific itinerary, the user can confirm the places and times to visit, make any necessary reservations, and make any other preparations. By referring to this plan, the user can smoothly enjoy their trip.

[1593] Input: Detailed travel plan displayed on the device

[1594] Output: Trip preparation and execution

[1595] In this way, this system efficiently generates an appropriate and detailed travel plan based on the information input by the user and provides it to the user.

[1596] (Application example 1)

[1597] 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."

[1598] In recent years, automatic travel plan generation systems have become widespread. However, these systems are specialized in generating travel plans and do not consider suggesting viewing content for users to enjoy while traveling. This poses a challenge, making it difficult to comprehensively improve the travel experience. Furthermore, a solution is needed to save users the trouble of having to select content to view at their travel destinations from scratch.

[1599] 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.

[1600] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface for a user to input travel destinations, budgets, and things to do, a communication means for receiving the user's input information transmitted from the terminal, an analysis means for analyzing the input information and generating a travel plan and a viewing content plan, a transmission means for transmitting the generated travel plan and viewing content plan to the terminal, and a display means for displaying the travel plan and viewing content plan to the user, thereby enabling the user to make comprehensive plans not only during the trip but also including the viewing content to be enjoyed at the travel destination.

[1601] A "terminal" is a device that includes an interface for users to input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do.

[1602] The "communication means" is a means for receiving user input information transmitted from the terminal.

[1603] The "analysis means" is a technology for analyzing the input information and generating a travel plan and a viewing content plan.

[1604] The "transmission means" is a means for transmitting the generated travel plan and audiovisual content plan to the terminal.

[1605] The "display means" is a means for displaying the travel plan and the audiovisual content plan to the user.

[1606] A "trip plan" is a travel schedule and plan generated based on a user's specified travel destination, budget, and activities.

[1607] A "viewing content plan" is a plan for proposing content (movies, dramas, documentaries, etc.) that a user wants to view.

[1608] "User input information" refers to information such as travel destination, budget, and things to do that the user inputs into the terminal.

[1609] A "travel destination" is a geographical location or area that a user would like to visit.

[1610] A "budget" is the upper limit of the amount of money a user can spend on travel or viewing content.

[1611] "Things to do" refers to information about activities that the user wants to experience and places that the user wants to visit at the travel destination.

[1612] This invention relates to a system that combines a terminal with an interface through which users input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, with a server that analyzes the input information and generates travel plans and viewing content plans. The system aims to provide users with an efficient and satisfying travel and viewing experience.

[1613] System Overview

[1614] First, the user uses a terminal to input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do. This information is then sent from the terminal to a server via communication means. The server analyzes the received information and collects information on tourist spots, accommodations, transportation options, and content to watch. Next, the server uses the collected data to generate an appropriate travel plan and content to watch that fits the user's budget. This plan is then sent back to the terminal via communication means, and the terminal visually displays it to the user.

[1615] Program processing

[1616] The server runs a program that analyzes the information entered by the user about travel destinations, budgets, and things to do. The program, implemented in a programming language such as Python, retrieves information from a database of tourist attractions and video content, and generates an optimal plan based on the user's preferences.

[1617] 1. Hardware and Software Use:

[1618] Hardware: Smartphones, servers

[1619] Software: Python program, Flask (web framework), SQLite (database)

[1620] 2. Data processing and calculation:

[1621] Parsing user input information: The information entered by the user on the device is parsed and the server receives the travel destination, budget, and what the user wants to do.

[1622] Database access: Retrieves information on tourist attractions, accommodations, transportation options, and viewing content from the database and extracts data that meets the user's requirements.

[1623] Plan generation: Travel plans and viewing content plans are automatically generated based on the extracted data.

[1624] Specific examples

[1625] For example, if a user inputs into the terminal, "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," the server will generate the following travel plan and viewing content plan:

[1626] json

[1627] {

[1628] "day_1": {

[1629] "morning": "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple",

[1630] "afternoon": "Visit Kinkakuji Temple",

[1631] "evening": "Dinner in Gion"

[1632] },

[1633] "day_2": {

[1634] "morning": "Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine",

[1635] "afternoon": "Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum",

[1636] "evening": "Strolling around town"

[1637] },

[1638] "content_plan": [

[1639] {"title": "Movie A", "duration": 120, "category": "Action"},

[1640] {"title": "Drama A", "duration": 45, "category": "Action"}

[1641] ]

[1642] }

[1643] The user can enjoy the trip based on the generated plan, and can decide the content to view at the travel destination based on the viewing content plan.

[1644] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1645] "I'm looking for content to watch tonight. Create a recommended viewing plan based on the following information:

[1646] Category: Action, Drama

[1647] Budget: 1,500 yen

[1648] Available viewing time: 200 minutes

[1649] That's it. What kind of work would you like?"

[1650] This system allows users to make comprehensive plans that include not only their viewing experience during their trip, but also their viewing experience at their destination.

[1651] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1652] Step 1:

[1653] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and things to do using the terminal. The terminal receives the user's input information, packets it, and sends it to the server.

[1654] Input: Travel destination, budget, things to do

[1655] Output: Packetized user input information

[1656] Step 2:

[1657] The server receives the user's input information sent from the terminal, analyzes the packetized information, and confirms the user's needs.

[1658] Input: Packetized user input information

[1659] Output: Analyzed user needs

[1660] Step 3:

[1661] The server retrieves information on tourist spots, accommodations, transportation options, and viewing content from a database or external API based on the analyzed user needs.

[1662] Input: Analyzed user needs

[1663] Output: Collected information on attractions, accommodation, transportation, and viewing content

[1664] Step 4:

[1665] The server generates a travel plan and a viewing content plan based on the collected information and the user's budget and what they want to do. Specifically, the server modifies the plan by listing tourist spots and accommodations that are within the user's budget, available means of transportation, and content that can be viewed during sightseeing or at accommodations.

[1666] Input: Collected information (tourist attractions, accommodation, transportation, viewing content), budget, things to do

[1667] Output: Generated travel plan and viewing content plan

[1668] Step 5:

[1669] The server packetizes the generated travel plan and viewing content plan and transmits them to the terminal.

[1670] Input: Generated travel plan and viewing content plan

[1671] Output: Packetized travel plans and viewing content plans

[1672] Step 6:

[1673] The terminal visually displays the received travel plan and viewing content plan for the user to confirm, and the user can enjoy the travel and viewing content based on the displayed plan.

[1674] Input: Packetized travel plans and viewing content plans

[1675] Output: Travel plan and viewing content plan displayed to the user

[1676] 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.

[1677] This invention relates to a system that links a terminal with an interface through which users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, a server that analyzes the received information and generates an appropriate travel plan, and an emotion engine that adjusts the plan using the user's real-time and past emotion data.The system aims to provide users with personalized travel plans that will give them a high level of satisfaction.

[1678] System Overview

[1679] First, the user uses a device to input travel destinations, budget, and things to do. This information is then sent from the device to a server via communication means. At the same time, the device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect the user's emotional data and send it to the server. The server analyzes the sent information and emotional data and generates a travel plan based on it. The generated plan is then adjusted in real time based on the user's emotions. This travel plan is then sent back to the device via communication means, and the device visually displays it to the user.

[1680] Program processing

[1681] 1. User request input

[1682] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the terminal interface. For example, the user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[1683] 2. Collecting Emotional Data

[1684] The device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect the user's facial expressions, tone of voice, and other emotional indicators in real time, and this data is analyzed by the emotion engine.

[1685] 3. Sending and Receiving Data

[1686] The device packets the input information and emotion data and sends them to the server, which then analyzes the received packets and obtains the information.

[1687] 4. Data Analysis and Plan Generation

[1688] The server generates a travel plan based on the following information:

[1689] Travel Destinations: Collect information about tourist attractions, accommodations, and transportation options at travel destinations from databases and external APIs.

[1690] Budget: Choose accommodation and transportation that fits your budget.

[1691] What to do: Include specific itineraries of places users want to visit and activities they want to experience.

[1692] Emotional Data: Based on the user's real-time and historical emotional data, we tailor our plans to maximize user satisfaction.

[1693] 5. Emotion-Based Regulation

[1694] The server uses the emotional data to evaluate how the user reacts to the selected plan and optimizes the plan in real time. For example, if the user expresses positive emotions toward a particular tourist spot, it will add other activities centered around that spot.

[1695] 6. Submitting and Viewing Plans

[1696] The server sends the adjusted travel plan to the terminal, and the terminal visualizes it for the user, for example, by displaying a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[1697] Specific examples

[1698] For example, if a user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," and the analysis further reveals that the user's emotional data indicates a happy reaction to certain tourist spots, the server will generate the following itinerary:

[1699] json

[1700] {

[1701] "day_1": {

[1702] "morning": "Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple",

[1703] "afternoon": "Visit Kinkakuji Temple",

[1704] "evening": "Dinner in Gion"

[1705] },

[1706] "day_2": {

[1707] "morning": "Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine",

[1708] "afternoon": "Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum",

[1709] "evening": "Additional activity at spots users particularly enjoyed"

[1710] }

[1711] }

[1712] This system provides personalized travel plans based on user input and real-time emotional data. This allows users to plan trips that fit their preferences without any hassle. The introduction of an emotional engine makes it possible to provide an even more satisfying experience.

[1713] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1714] Step 1:

[1715] The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do into the device interface. For example, they input information such as "I want to go to Tokyo," "My budget is 50,000 yen," and "I want to visit tourist spots."

[1716] Step 2:

[1717] The device packetizes the input data and generates an API request to send to the server.

[1718] Step 3:

[1719] The terminal transmits the generated data packet to the server, and at this time, the data is transferred via the communication means.

[1720] Step 4:

[1721] The device's built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors collect emotional indicators such as facial expressions, tone of voice, and body temperature in real time. This data is analyzed by the emotion engine to generate emotional data.

[1722] Step 5:

[1723] The terminal packetizes the generated emotion data and transmits it to the server. At this time, the data is transferred via a communication means.

[1724] Step 6:

[1725] The server receives the user's input information and emotion data sent from the terminal.

[1726] Step 7:

[1727] The server analyzes the received data to obtain information about the travel destination, budget, and what to do, while also analyzing the emotion data.

[1728] Step 8:

[1729] The server collects detailed data about the travel destination (such as tourist attractions, accommodations, and transportation options) based on the acquired information, for example by retrieving the necessary information from an external API or an internal database.

[1730] Step 9:

[1731] The server adjusts the price based on the budget and selects available accommodations and transportation options (e.g., hotels, bullet trains, buses, etc.) within the budget.

[1732] Step 10:

[1733] The server selects and schedules specific activities and tourist spots based on the user's stated "what I want to do" (e.g., sightseeing).

[1734] Step 11:

[1735] The server evaluates the user's real-time emotional trends based on the emotion data and adjusts the travel plan accordingly: for example, if the user expresses positive emotions toward a particular tourist spot, it will add more related activities around that spot.

[1736] Step 12:

[1737] The server generates a travel plan that takes into account the collected information and emotional data. As a concrete example, we will build the following plan:

[1738] json

[1739] {

[1740] "day_1": {

[1741] "morning": "Visit Sensoji Temple",

[1742] "afternoon": "visit Skytree",

[1743] "evening": "Dinner in Ginza"

[1744] },

[1745] "day_2": {

[1746] "morning": "Visit Akihabara",

[1747] "afternoon": "Visit Ueno Zoo",

[1748] "evening": "Strolling around Shinjuku"

[1749] }

[1750] }

[1751] Step 13:

[1752] The server packetizes the generated travel plan and transmits it to the terminal through the transmission means.

[1753] Step 14:

[1754] The terminal analyzes the received packets and displays the travel plan to the user in a visually easy-to-understand format, for example, displaying a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[1755] As described above, a system has been realized in which users, terminals, and servers work together to generate and provide efficient and satisfying travel plans. The introduction of an emotion engine will provide even more personalized plans, improving the user experience.

[1756] Example 2

[1757] 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."

[1758] Conventional travel plan generation systems only generate plans based on basic information entered by the user (destination, budget, and things to do), and have the problem of making it difficult to flexibly adjust plans in response to the user's emotions and real-time feedback. This has led to a decrease in satisfaction during the trip, and many users feel that the level of personalization is insufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a system that utilizes user emotional data to optimize travel plans in real time.

[1759] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1760] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface through which the user inputs travel destination, budget, and things to do, communication means for receiving the user's input information and emotional data transmitted from the terminal, analysis means for analyzing the input information and emotional data and generating a travel plan, optimization means for adjusting the travel plan generated by the analysis means based on the user's emotions in real time, transmission means for transmitting the optimized travel plan to the terminal, and display means for displaying the travel plan to the user. This makes it possible to flexibly respond to the user's emotions and provide a personalized and highly satisfying travel plan.

[1761] A "terminal" is a device that allows a user to input travel destinations, budgets, and things to do.

[1762] "Communication means" refers to technical means for receiving user input information and emotion data sent from a terminal.

[1763] The "analysis means" is a technical means for analyzing the received input information and emotion data and generating a travel plan.

[1764] The "optimization means" is a technical means for adjusting the travel plan generated by the analysis means in real time based on the user's emotions.

[1765] "Transmission means" refers to the technical means for transmitting the optimized travel plan to the terminal.

[1766] "Display means" refers to the technical means for visually displaying the transmitted travel plan to the user.

[1767] "Cloud database and external API" refers to external technological resources from which the analysis means obtains information on tourist attractions, accommodations, and transportation means required to generate a travel plan.

[1768] This invention is a system that includes a terminal with an interface for users to input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, a server that receives and analyzes the input information and emotion data, and generates and adjusts an optimal travel plan, and an emotion engine that optimizes the generated travel plan in real time.The purpose of this system is to provide users with personalized travel plans that will provide them with a high level of satisfaction.

[1769] System Configuration

[1770] 1. Terminal

[1771] The device has an interface where users can input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do. Examples include smartphones, tablets, and PCs. These devices are equipped with cameras, microphones, and other sensors, and can capture the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to collect emotional data.

[1772] 2. Means of communication

[1773] The device is equipped with a communication means for communicating with a server via the Internet. This means is used to send input information and emotional data from the user to the server. Communication is usually performed using the HTTP / HTTPS protocol.

[1774] 3. Server and Analysis Methods

[1775] The server receives input information and emotion data sent from the device. The server uses a cloud database or external API (e.g., Google Maps API, TripAdvisor API) to analyze the received data. The analysis means generates a travel plan based on the information collected from these resources.

[1776] 4. Optimization Methods

[1777] The server also includes an optimization mechanism that adjusts the generated travel plan in real time. The optimization mechanism utilizes an emotion engine to adjust the plan based on the user's real-time and historical emotion data. For example, if the user has a positive reaction to a particular tourist spot, the optimization mechanism can add other activities around that spot.

[1778] 5. Means of transmission and display

[1779] The generated and optimized travel plan is then sent to the terminal via communication means, and the terminal visually displays the received plan to the user. Specifically, the terminal can display a daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[1780] Specific examples

[1781] For example, if a user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," and the emotional data is analyzed to indicate that "I react with joy to certain tourist spots," the server will generate the following travel plan:

[1782] Day 1:

[1783] Morning: Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple

[1784] Afternoon: Visit Kinkakuji Temple

[1785] Evening: Dinner in Gion

[1786] Day 2:

[1788] Afternoon: Visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum

[1789] Evening: Additional activities at spots that users particularly enjoyed

[1790] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1791] Generate a travel plan for the requests "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places." Also, if the analysis of the sentiment data indicates "I react with joy to Kiyomizu-dera Temple," add other tourist spots around this spot.

[1792] With the above configuration, the present invention makes it possible to utilize the user's input information and emotion data to provide personalized travel plans that are highly satisfying.

[1793] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1794] Step 1:

[1795] Users input their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do.

[1796] Specifically, the user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places" into the device's interface.

[1797] Input: User's travel destination, budget, and activities

[1798] Output: User-supplied information converted to JSON or other structured data format

[1799] Step 2:

[1800] The device uses its built-in camera, microphone, and other sensors to collect user emotional data.

[1801] Specifically, the device captures the user's facial expressions with a camera and records their voice with a microphone, and these emotion data are sent to the emotion engine in real time.

[1802] Input: Emotional data such as user facial expressions and tone of voice

[1803] Output: Analyzed user sentiment index

[1804] Step 3:

[1805] The terminal collects the user's input information and emotion data into packets and transmits them to the server via communication means.

[1806] Specifically, the device constructs a JSON-formatted data packet and sends it to the server via an HTTP POST request.

[1807] Input: Structured user input and emotion data

[1808] Output: Data packet sent to the server

[1809] Step 4:

[1810] The server analyzes the received data and generates a travel plan.

[1811] Specifically, the server collects information on tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation from databases and external APIs, and creates a plan based on the user's input information and emotional data.

[1812] Input: User input and emotion data received by the server

[1813] Output: Initial itinerary

[1814] Step 5:

[1815] The server analyzes the user's emotional data in real time and adjusts the initial travel plan.

[1816] Specifically, the server uses an emotion engine to highlight or add spots or activities that show positive emotions within the plan.

[1817] Input: Initial travel plans, real-time sentiment data

[1818] Output: Adjusted itinerary

[1819] Step 6:

[1820] The server sends the optimized travel plan to the terminal.

[1821] Specifically, the server sends the optimized plan to the device via an HTTP POST request.

[1822] Input: Adjusted travel plan

[1823] Output: Optimized itinerary sent to device

[1824] Step 7:

[1825] The terminal visually displays the received travel plan to the user.

[1826] Specifically, the device builds a UI that displays the daily schedule in list format on the screen.

[1827] Input: Optimized itinerary sent to device

[1828] Output: The itinerary displayed to the user

[1829] (Application example 2)

[1830] 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."

[1831] Conventional travel plan creation systems generate travel plans based on user input information, but they are unable to adjust the plans taking into account the user's emotions or real-time reactions. This makes it difficult to provide customized travel plans that maximize user satisfaction. In particular, there is a need for a system that can create travel plans in a virtual space and adjust them based on real-time emotional data. To solve this problem, a new system and method are needed.

[1832] 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.

[1833] In this invention, the server includes a terminal including an interface through which the user inputs travel destinations, budgets, and things to do, communication means for receiving the user's input information sent from the terminal, analysis means for analyzing the input information and emotion data and generating a travel plan, transmission means for sending the generated travel plan to the terminal, display means for displaying the travel plan to the user, and an emotion engine for adjusting the plan based on the user's real-time and past emotion data, thereby making it possible to provide a customized travel plan that is optimized in real time based on the user's emotions.

[1834] A "terminal" is a device that allows a user to input travel destinations, budgets, and things to do, and includes smartphones and head-mounted displays.

[1835] The "communication means" is an interface that has the function of transmitting the user's input information and emotion data to the server.

[1836] The "analysis means" is a program or hardware that has the function of analyzing the user's input information and emotion data and generating a travel plan based on the analysis.

[1837] The "transmission means" is an interface that has the function of transmitting the travel plan generated from the server to the terminal.

[1838] The "display means" is a module having a display function for visually presenting the generated travel plan to the user.

[1839] An "emotion engine" is a program or hardware for adjusting travel plans based on a user's real-time and historical emotional data.

[1840] "Emotional data" refers to a user's emotional indicators collected through sensors, cameras, microphones, etc. built into the device.

[1841] A "travel plan" is a plan generated by the analytical means that includes specific schedule and activity suggestions based on the user's travel destination, budget, and preferences.

[1842] A "virtual space" is a user-accessible virtual environment or interface where travel planning and emotional data collection take place.

[1843] The present invention relates to a system that includes a terminal with an interface where users input information about their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, a server that analyzes the received information and emotion data to generate and adjust a travel plan, and an emotion engine that optimizes the plan using the user's real-time and past emotion data. This system is particularly focused on generating and adjusting travel plans in virtual space.

[1844] Hardware and software used

[1845] Hardware

[1846] Terminal: A device that allows users to input information and display results, such as a smartphone or head-mounted display (HMD).

[1847] Emotion sensors such as the Dragonfly sensor: A device built into the HMD for collecting facial expressions and emotions in real time.

[1848] software

[1849] Real-time data collection module: Emotion data is collected using a camera and microphone. Specifically, facial expression recognition is performed using OpenCV and TensorFlow, and voice recognition software is used using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text.

[1850] Data transmission module: Sends collected data to the server. HTTP / HTTPS API is used as the communication protocol.

[1851] Data analysis and plan generation server: Software for analysis and plan generation using Python, Flask or Django, and Scikit-learn.

[1852] Virtual Agent Interface: A 3D virtual agent interface using Unity and Unreal Engine 4.

[1853] Specific operation of the system

[1854] 1. User input information: The user inputs the travel destination, budget, and what they want to do in the virtual space interface, and this information is sent from the terminal to the server.

[1855] 2. Emotion data collection: Sensors built into the HMD collect the user's facial expressions, voice, etc. in real time, and this data is also sent to the server.

[1856] 3. Data analysis: The server analyzes the received information and emotion data. For the analysis, it retrieves information on tourist spots and activities from a database or external API based on the user's input information.

[1857] 4. Travel Plan Generation: A travel plan is generated based on the analyzed data. In particular, the plan is adjusted and optimized based on the user's emotional data.

[1858] 5. Adjustment and Display: The generated itinerary is adjusted in real time based on the emotion data and sent to the device, which visually presents the customized itinerary to the user.

[1859] Specific examples

[1860] For example, if a user inputs "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places," and the emotional data is analyzed to indicate that "I react with joy to certain tourist spots," the server will generate the following travel plan:

[1861] Travel plan example

[1862] The suggested plan is to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning on the first day, Kinkaku-ji Temple in the afternoon, and have dinner in Gion in the evening. On the second day, you can visit Fushimi Inari in the morning and the Kyoto International Manga Museum in the afternoon, and then enjoy additional activities at spots you particularly enjoy in the evening.

[1863] Example prompts for generative AI models

[1864] "The user wants to visit historical places. The budget is 30,000 yen, and the destination is Kyoto. Please suggest an ideal itinerary that includes tourist spots such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, and Gion. Please optimize the itinerary by taking into account the user's sentiment data."

[1865] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1866] Step 1:

[1867] The user inputs their travel destination, budget, and what they want to do through the device interface. The input information is temporarily stored on the user's device. The input data can be in the form of text data or voice data. For example, the information input here is "I want to go to Kyoto," "My budget is 30,000 yen," and "I want to visit historical places."

[1868] Step 2:

[1869] The device uses a built-in camera, microphone, and emotion sensor to collect real-time emotional data from the user, including facial expression data (facial expression frames analyzed using OpenCV) and voice data (voice tone information analyzed using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text). The collected emotional data is temporarily stored in a database.

[1870] Step 3:

[1871] The device then packets the user's input information and collected emotion data and sends them to the server using the HTTP / HTTPS protocol. The transmitted data includes travel destination, budget, things to do, and real-time emotion data.

[1872] Step 4:

[1873] The server analyzes the received packets and stores information about the user's travel destination, budget, and what they want to do, as well as real-time emotion data, in a database that already contains information about tourist spots, accommodations, and transportation options.

[1874] Step 5:

[1875] Based on the received user's travel destination, the server retrieves information about attractions, accommodations, and transportation from databases and external APIs, such as the Google Places API and other public travel-related APIs.

[1876] Step 6:

[1877] The server generates an initial itinerary based on the destination, budget, and activities. For example, it uses Python or the Django framework to generate a schedule that combines the acquired tourist spot information. This schedule is temporarily saved in JSON format.

[1878] Step 7:

[1879] The emotion engine analyzes the collected user emotion data and evaluates the user's reaction to the initial travel plan. For example, if a user shows a positive reaction (e.g., happy facial expression, excited tone of voice) to a particular tourist spot, the emotion engine adds a more detailed activity including that spot.

[1880] Step 8:

[1881] The server generates an optimized travel plan based on the emotion data. The schedule and activities are adjusted based on the data evaluated by the emotion engine, and the new plan is saved in JSON format.

[1882] Step 9:

[1883] The server sends the optimized itinerary to the device using HTTP / HTTPS protocol, with the data packetized in JSON format.

[1884] Step 10:

[1885] The device visually displays the received optimized travel plan to the user, for example, through a virtual agent interface (powered by Unity or Unreal Engine 4) to present the user with a customized itinerary.

[1886] Step 11:

[1887] The user enters feedback on the travel plan, and emotion data is collected again and sent to the server as needed. This feedback loop further optimizes the travel plan.

[1888] Through the above processing steps, the user can obtain a customized travel plan based on real-time emotion data.

[1889] 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.

[1890] 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.

[1891] 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.

[1892] 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.

[1893] 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.

[1894] 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.

[1895] 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).

[1896] 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.

[1897] 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."

[1898] 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.

[1899] 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).

[1900] 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.

[1901] 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.

[1902] 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.

[1903] 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.

[1904] 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.

[1905] 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.

[1906] 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.

[1907] 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.
