[0492] Example 2
[0493] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0494] While conventional digital art generation systems have the technology to generate artworks using the artist's style, it has been difficult to generate customized artworks that reflect the user's emotions. Furthermore, because the user's input request is passed directly to the generative model, the artwork generated does not necessarily reflect the user's intentions or emotions. This makes it difficult to increase user satisfaction.
[0495] 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.
[0496] In this invention, the server includes a means for performing sentiment analysis based on the user's request and optimizing the request content, a means for causing the generative model to generate a work in a specific style based on the user's request, and a means for generating a URL for the generated work and associating it with the request ID, thereby generating a customized artwork that reflects the user's sentiment and increasing user satisfaction.
[0497] "Work provider" refers to an individual or organization that registers on the dedicated platform and provides work data used to generate digital art.
[0498] "Dedicated Platform" means a web-based system through which work providers upload work data and users input work generation requests.
[0499] A "server" is a computer system that processes data received from work providers and users and performs various functions for work generation.
[0500] "Artwork data" is a general term for image files and related data uploaded by the creator of the work to train a generative model of digital art.
[0501] A "database" is a system for systematically storing uploaded work data, created works, user request information, etc., and for efficiently managing and searching such data.
[0502] A "generative model" is a machine learning model that learns the style of a particular artist and generates new artwork based on user requests.
[0503] "User" means an individual or entity that requests the creation of digital art using the Dedicated Platform.
[0504] The "request content" is text data that describes the specific requirements for the digital art that the user wants to create.
[0505] "Sentiment analysis" is the process of detecting emotions from the request content entered by the user and optimizing the request content based on those emotions.
[0506] "URL" is the address on the Internet for accessing the created work, and is provided to the user by the server.
[0507] A "request ID" is an identification number assigned to uniquely identify each request.
[0508] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0509] This invention relates to a system for generating digital art, specifically a system that combines a generative model that learns the artist's style with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This system allows users to easily obtain digital artworks customized based on their own emotions.
[0510] System program processing
[0511] The system uses the following hardware and software:
[0512] Server: A central computer system that stores and processes work data and request data. Data is managed using an SQL or NoSQL database.
[0513] Terminal: A device used by artists and users to access the dedicated platform using a web browser.
[0514] Generative models: For example, using machine learning models such as Stable Diffusion to generate artwork in the style of a particular artist.
[0515] Sentiment engine: Analyzes emotions from user input text using natural language processing techniques, such as Transformer-based models (e.g., BERT).
[0516] Artist registration and work submission
[0517] Artists access the dedicated platform and register by entering required information such as their name, email address, and password. The server receives this information and stores it in a database. A registration confirmation email is automatically sent to the artist, who clicks on a link to complete the registration. After logging in, the artist uploads their artwork data. The server then verifies the uploaded data and adds it to the training dataset for the generative model.
[0518] Training a generative model
[0519] Based on the uploaded artwork data, the generative model learns the style of a specific artist, which is then stored in a database and used to generate artwork.
[0520] User requests and creation
[0521] Users access the dedicated platform and log in by entering their login information. After logging in, they can enter their request in text format and specify a specific artist. The server receives this request and performs emotional analysis using an emotion engine.
[0522] For example, if the prompt is "Please draw a scene of a cat standing by the sea in the sunset. Please create a calm atmosphere," the emotion engine will detect the emotion "calm" and optimize the request. Based on the optimized request, the generative model will generate a work, which will then be stored in a database by the server.
[0523] Providing generated works
[0524] The server generates a URL for the generated work and associates it with the request ID. A notification containing this URL is sent to the device, and the user can click the download link to download the work.
[0525] This system allows users to quickly obtain digital artworks that are customized to their emotions, and also allows artists to efficiently offer their works and gain new revenue opportunities.
[0526] Specific examples
[0527] For example, an artist uploads their work to the platform, and the work is trained by the generative model. A user logs in and inputs a request, such as "Please paint a scene of a cat standing with a sunset in the background." The server receives this request and analyzes the user's emotions using an emotion engine. If the emotion of "calm" is detected based on the analysis results, the color tone and atmosphere of the work are adjusted. The generative model generates a work based on this adjusted request. The generated work is saved by the server and notified to the user. The user can obtain the generated work by clicking a download link.
[0528] Specific embodiments of the present invention allow users to easily obtain customized digital artwork based on their emotions.
[0529] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0530] Step 1: Artist Registration
[0531] The artist accesses the registration page of the dedicated platform and enters the required information such as name, email address, and password. The server receives the entered information and stores it in a database. The server automatically sends a registration confirmation email, and the artist completes the registration by clicking the link in the confirmation email.
[0532] Input: Artist name, email address, password
[0533] Output: The artist's information is saved in the database and a confirmation email is sent.
[0534] Step 2: Submit your work
[0535] An artist logs in to the platform and selects a menu to upload their artwork file. Once the artist uploads the artwork file (e.g., JPEG, PNG, etc.), the server validates the uploaded file and stores it in a database. The server then adds the artwork file to the training dataset for the generative model and begins the training process.
[0536] Input: Artist's artwork file
[0537] Output: Work files stored in a database, training dataset for generative models
[0538] Step 3: User Login
[0539] The user accesses the platform's login page and enters their email address and password. The server performs authentication and, if successful, redirects the user to the dashboard. The device displays a message to the user indicating successful login.
[0540] Input: Email address, Password
[0541] Output: Login successful message
[0542] Step 4: Submit a request
[0543] The user clicks the "New Request" button on the dashboard and enters the request in text format (e.g., "I want you to paint a scene of a cat standing with a sunset in the background"). A specific artist can be selected if necessary. The server receives and stores the input. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the emotion from the request and optimizes the request based on the results.
[0544] Input: Request content in text format
[0545] Output: Sentiment analysis results, optimized request content
[0546] Step 5: Request Processing
[0547] The server provides the tailored request to the generative model to initiate processing. The generative model analyzes the request and generates a work based on the style of the specific artist. The server receives the generated work and stores it in a database.
[0548] Input: Optimized request content

[0555] (Application example 2)
[0556] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0557] Conventional digital art creation systems generate artwork based solely on a simple text request entered by the user, making it difficult to provide customized artwork that reflects the user's emotions and mood. Therefore, there is a need to effectively create and provide digital artwork that truly resonates with users. The present invention solves this problem and provides a more personalized digital art creation system that reflects the user's emotions.
[0558] 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.
[0559] In this invention, the server includes a means for generating a work based on the emotion analysis result, a means for presenting a preview image of the generated work and offering the option of purchasing or downloading, and a means for storing the generated work and providing it to the user, thereby enabling the generation and provision of a customized digital artwork that reflects the emotion of the user.
[0560] A "work provider" is an entity that uploads their own work data to the dedicated platform.
[0561] The "dedicated platform" is an online system where creators can register and upload their work data and train the generative model.
[0562] "Work data" refers to digital content such as image files and text data that work providers upload to the platform.
[0563] The "server" is a central processing unit that stores artwork data in a database and trains the generative model.
[0564] A "database" is a storage device for storing uploaded work data and created works.
[0565] A "generative model" is an artificial intelligence model that learns from uploaded artwork data and generates digital artworks based on user requests.
[0566] "User" is the entity that enters a request to generate a digital artwork and receives the results.
[0567] An “artwork generation request” is a textual instruction that a user inputs into a Generative Model to generate a particular artwork.
[0568] "Emotion analysis results" are analysis results based on requests and emotions entered by users, and are data used to instruct the generative model.
[0569] A "preview image" is an image that displays a part or the whole of a generated digital artwork for the user to check.
[0570] "Purchase or Download Option" means the option that a user can choose to purchase or download the generated digital artwork for free.
[0571] "Generated Works" are digital artworks created by generative models based on user requests and sentiment analysis.
[0572] The present invention provides a specific system for generating and providing customized digital artworks that reflect a user's emotions. The system includes a means for an artwork provider to register and upload artwork data to a dedicated platform, a means for a server to store the uploaded artwork data in a database and train a generative model, a means for a user to input an artwork generation request, a means for the server to cause the generative model to generate an artwork based on the user's request and the results of emotion analysis, a means for presenting a preview image of the generated artwork and offering the option of purchasing or downloading, and a means for the server to store the generated artwork and provide it to the user.

[0579] The smartphone application is implemented as an iOS or ANDROID (registered trademark) app.
[0580] Sentiment Analysis and Generative Models
[0581] Emotion Analysis: Emotion recognition uses Python and the EmotionRecognition library to analyze emotional states from data input in text format.
[0582] Generative Modeling: Generative modeling uses Hugging Face's Transformers library and is performed by an AI model trained in the style of a specific artist.
[0583] Operating Procedure
[0584] Artist registration and work submission
[0585] 1. The artist registers an account on the dedicated platform and uploads their work data.
[0586] 2. The server verifies the uploaded artwork data, stores it in a database, and trains the generative model.
[0587] User requests and creation
[0588] 1. The user logs in to the dedicated app and enters a request to create a work in text format.
[0589] 2. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze emotions from the user's input.
[0590] 3. Generate prompts based on the sentiment analysis results and provide instructions to the generative model.
[0591] 4. The generative model generates a digital artwork in a specific style based on the user's request and the results of sentiment analysis.
[0592] Product preview and offering
[0593] 1. The server generates a preview image of the created work and presents it to the user.
[0594] 2. Users can preview the work and choose to purchase it or download it for free.
[0595] 3. The server stores the generated work in a database and provides a download link.
[0596] Specific examples
[0597] For example, if a user inputs "I feel tired" and requests "I want a drawing of a scene with a cat standing with a sunset in the background," the server sends this to the emotion engine and generates the "tired" emotion as an analysis result.
[0598] User sentiment: "I feel tired"
[0599] User request: "I want you to draw a scene of a cat standing with a sunset in the background."
[0600] Generated prompt: "Create a tired themed artwork of a cat standing against a sunset background in the style of Artist A."
[0601] A prompt is generated. The generative model generates a work based on this prompt and provides it to the user. This system makes it possible to quickly and effectively generate and provide customized digital artworks that reflect the user's emotions.
[0602] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0603] Step 1:
[0604] Artist Registration

[0621] Input: User text request and artist selection
[0622] Output: The request data sent to the server
[0623] Step 5:
[0624] Emotion analysis
[0625] The server sends the request data to the emotion engine, which analyzes the user's input to determine the emotion. The emotion engine analyzes the text and identifies the dominant emotion (e.g., happy, sad, tired, etc.).
[0626] Input: User request text
[0627] Output: Emotion analysis results
[0628] Step 6:
[0629] Prompt Generation
[0630] The server creates prompts for the generative model based on the results of sentiment analysis and the user's request. For example, based on the request "I feel tired" and "A scene of a cat standing against a sunset," it generates a prompt such as "Create a tired-themed artwork of a cat standing against a sunset background in the style of Artist A."
[0631] Input: Sentiment analysis results and user requests
[0632] Output: Prompts for the generated model
[0633] Step 7:
[0634] Work generation
[0635] The server provides prompts to the generative model, which then generates the digital artwork. The generative model uses the learnings of a particular artist as a style to generate the digital artwork.
[0636] Input: Prompt for the generative model
[0637] Output: Generated digital artwork
[0638] Step 8:
[0639] Preview display
[0640] The server generates a preview image of the generated work and presents it to the user, who can then view the preview and select the option to purchase or download.
[0641] Input: Generated digital artwork
[0642] Output: Provide preview images and options to the user
[0643] Step 9:
[0644] Work provided

[1119] Example 2
[1120] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1121] While conventional digital art generation systems have the technology to generate artworks using the artist's style, it has been difficult to generate customized artworks that reflect the user's emotions. Furthermore, because the user's input request is passed directly to the generative model, the artwork generated does not necessarily reflect the user's intentions or emotions. This makes it difficult to increase user satisfaction.
[1122] 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.
[1123] In this invention, the server includes a means for performing sentiment analysis based on the user's request and optimizing the request content, a means for causing the generative model to generate a work in a specific style based on the user's request, and a means for generating a URL for the generated work and associating it with the request ID, thereby generating a customized artwork that reflects the user's sentiment and increasing user satisfaction.
[1124] "Work provider" refers to an individual or organization that registers on the dedicated platform and provides work data used to generate digital art.
[1125] "Dedicated Platform" means a web-based system through which work providers upload work data and users input work generation requests.
[1126] A "server" is a computer system that processes data received from work providers and users and performs various functions for work generation.
[1127] "Artwork data" is a general term for image files and related data uploaded by the creator of the work to train a generative model of digital art.
[1128] A "database" is a system for systematically storing uploaded work data, created works, user request information, etc., and for efficiently managing and searching such data.
[1129] A "generative model" is a machine learning model that learns the style of a particular artist and generates new artwork based on user requests.
[1130] "User" means an individual or entity that requests the creation of digital art using the Dedicated Platform.
[1131] The "request content" is text data that describes the specific requirements for the digital art that the user wants to create.
[1132] "Sentiment analysis" is the process of detecting emotions from the request content entered by the user and optimizing the request content based on those emotions.
[1133] "URL" is the address on the Internet for accessing the created work, and is provided to the user by the server.
[1134] A "request ID" is an identification number assigned to uniquely identify each request.
[1135] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[1136] This invention relates to a system for generating digital art, specifically a system that combines a generative model that learns the artist's style with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This system allows users to easily obtain digital artworks customized based on their own emotions.
[1137] System program processing
[1138] The system uses the following hardware and software:
[1139] Server: A central computer system that stores and processes work data and request data. Data is managed using an SQL or NoSQL database.
[1140] Terminal: A device used by artists and users to access the dedicated platform using a web browser.
[1141] Generative models: For example, using machine learning models such as Stable Diffusion to generate artwork in the style of a particular artist.
[1142] Sentiment engine: Analyzes emotions from user input text using natural language processing techniques, such as Transformer-based models (e.g., BERT).
[1143] Artist registration and work submission
[1144] Artists access the dedicated platform and register by entering required information such as their name, email address, and password. The server receives this information and stores it in a database. A registration confirmation email is automatically sent to the artist, who clicks on a link to complete the registration. After logging in, the artist uploads their artwork data. The server then verifies the uploaded data and adds it to the training dataset for the generative model.
[1145] Training a generative model
[1146] Based on the uploaded artwork data, the generative model learns the style of a specific artist, which is then stored in a database and used to generate artwork.
[1147] User requests and creation
[1148] Users access the dedicated platform and log in by entering their login information. After logging in, they can enter their request in text format and specify a specific artist. The server receives this request and performs emotional analysis using an emotion engine.
[1149] For example, if the prompt is "Please draw a scene of a cat standing by the sea in the sunset. Please create a calm atmosphere," the emotion engine will detect the emotion "calm" and optimize the request. Based on the optimized request, the generative model will generate a work, which will then be stored in a database by the server.
[1150] Providing generated works
[1151] The server generates a URL for the generated work and associates it with the request ID. A notification containing this URL is sent to the device, and the user can click the download link to download the work.
[1152] This system allows users to quickly obtain digital artworks that are customized to their emotions, and also allows artists to efficiently offer their works and gain new revenue opportunities.
[1153] Specific examples
[1154] For example, an artist uploads their work to the platform, and the work is trained by the generative model. A user logs in and inputs a request, such as "Please paint a scene of a cat standing with a sunset in the background." The server receives this request and analyzes the user's emotions using an emotion engine. If the emotion of "calm" is detected based on the analysis results, the color tone and atmosphere of the work are adjusted. The generative model generates a work based on this adjusted request. The generated work is saved by the server and notified to the user. The user can obtain the generated work by clicking a download link.
[1155] Specific embodiments of the present invention allow users to easily obtain customized digital artwork based on their emotions.
[1156] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1157] Step 1: Artist Registration
[1158] The artist accesses the registration page of the dedicated platform and enters the required information such as name, email address, and password. The server receives the entered information and stores it in a database. The server automatically sends a registration confirmation email, and the artist completes the registration by clicking the link in the confirmation email.
[1159] Input: Artist name, email address, password
[1160] Output: The artist's information is saved in the database and a confirmation email is sent.
[1161] Step 2: Submit your work
[1162] An artist logs in to the platform and selects a menu to upload their artwork file. Once the artist uploads the artwork file (e.g., JPEG, PNG, etc.), the server validates the uploaded file and stores it in a database. The server then adds the artwork file to the training dataset for the generative model and begins the training process.
[1163] Input: Artist's artwork file
[1164] Output: Work files stored in a database, training dataset for generative models
[1165] Step 3: User Login
[1166] The user accesses the platform's login page and enters their email address and password. The server performs authentication and, if successful, redirects the user to the dashboard. The device displays a message to the user indicating successful login.
[1167] Input: Email address, Password
[1168] Output: Login successful message
[1169] Step 4: Submit a request
[1170] The user clicks the "New Request" button on the dashboard and enters the request in text format (e.g., "I want you to paint a scene of a cat standing with a sunset in the background"). A specific artist can be selected if necessary. The server receives and stores the input. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the emotion from the request and optimizes the request based on the results.
[1171] Input: Request content in text format
[1172] Output: Sentiment analysis results, optimized request content
[1173] Step 5: Request Processing
[1174] The server provides the tailored request to the generative model to initiate processing. The generative model analyzes the request and generates a work based on the style of the specific artist. The server receives the generated work and stores it in a database.
[1175] Input: Optimized request content
[1176] Output: Generated artwork file
[1177] Step 6: Submit your work
[1178] The server generates a URL for the generated work and associates it with the request ID. The device notifies the user that "generation is complete" and provides a download link. The user clicks the provided link to download the generated work.
[1179] Input: Generated artwork file
[1180] Output: Download link for the work, Download work
[1181] By following these steps, users can easily obtain customized digital artworks, and this system is beneficial for both artists and users.

[1746] Example 2
[1747] 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."
[1748] While conventional digital art generation systems have the technology to generate artworks using the artist's style, it has been difficult to generate customized artworks that reflect the user's emotions. Furthermore, because the user's input request is passed directly to the generative model, the artwork generated does not necessarily reflect the user's intentions or emotions. This makes it difficult to increase user satisfaction.
[1749] 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.
[1750] In this invention, the server includes a means for performing sentiment analysis based on the user's request and optimizing the request content, a means for causing the generative model to generate a work in a specific style based on the user's request, and a means for generating a URL for the generated work and associating it with the request ID, thereby generating a customized artwork that reflects the user's sentiment and increasing user satisfaction.

[1761] A "request ID" is an identification number assigned to uniquely identify each request.
[1762] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[1763] This invention relates to a system for generating digital art, specifically a system that combines a generative model that learns the artist's style with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This system allows users to easily obtain digital artworks customized based on their own emotions.
[1764] System program processing
[1765] The system uses the following hardware and software:
[1766] Server: A central computer system that stores and processes work data and request data. Data is managed using an SQL or NoSQL database.
[1767] Terminal: A device used by artists and users to access the dedicated platform using a web browser.
[1768] Generative models: For example, using machine learning models such as Stable Diffusion to generate artwork in the style of a particular artist.
[1769] Sentiment engine: Analyzes emotions from user input text using natural language processing techniques, such as Transformer-based models (e.g., BERT).
[1770] Artist registration and work submission
[1771] Artists access the dedicated platform and register by entering required information such as their name, email address, and password. The server receives this information and stores it in a database. A registration confirmation email is automatically sent to the artist, who clicks on a link to complete the registration. After logging in, the artist uploads their artwork data. The server then verifies the uploaded data and adds it to the training dataset for the generative model.
[1772] Training a generative model
[1773] Based on the uploaded artwork data, the generative model learns the style of a specific artist, which is then stored in a database and used to generate artwork.
[1774] User requests and creation
[1775] Users access the dedicated platform and log in by entering their login information. After logging in, they can enter their request in text format and specify a specific artist. The server receives this request and performs emotional analysis using an emotion engine.
[1776] For example, if the prompt is "Please draw a scene of a cat standing by the sea in the sunset. Please create a calm atmosphere," the emotion engine will detect the emotion "calm" and optimize the request. Based on the optimized request, the generative model will generate a work, which will then be stored in a database by the server.
[1777] Providing generated works
[1778] The server generates a URL for the generated work and associates it with the request ID. A notification containing this URL is sent to the device, and the user can click the download link to download the work.
[1779] This system allows users to quickly obtain digital artworks that are customized to their emotions, and also allows artists to efficiently offer their works and gain new revenue opportunities.
[1780] Specific examples
[1781] For example, an artist uploads their work to the platform, and the work is trained by the generative model. A user logs in and inputs a request, such as "Please paint a scene of a cat standing with a sunset in the background." The server receives this request and analyzes the user's emotions using an emotion engine. If the emotion of "calm" is detected based on the analysis results, the color tone and atmosphere of the work are adjusted. The generative model generates a work based on this adjusted request. The generated work is saved by the server and notified to the user. The user can obtain the generated work by clicking a download link.
[1782] Specific embodiments of the present invention allow users to easily obtain customized digital artwork based on their emotions.
[1783] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1784] Step 1: Artist Registration
[1785] The artist accesses the registration page of the dedicated platform and enters the required information such as name, email address, and password. The server receives the entered information and stores it in a database. The server automatically sends a registration confirmation email, and the artist completes the registration by clicking the link in the confirmation email.
[1786] Input: Artist name, email address, password
[1787] Output: The artist's information is saved in the database and a confirmation email is sent.
[1788] Step 2: Submit your work
[1789] An artist logs in to the platform and selects a menu to upload their artwork file. Once the artist uploads the artwork file (e.g., JPEG, PNG, etc.), the server validates the uploaded file and stores it in a database. The server then adds the artwork file to the training dataset for the generative model and begins the training process.
[1790] Input: Artist's artwork file
[1791] Output: Work files stored in a database, training dataset for generative models
[1792] Step 3: User Login
[1793] The user accesses the platform's login page and enters their email address and password. The server performs authentication and, if successful, redirects the user to the dashboard. The device displays a message to the user indicating successful login.
[1794] Input: Email address, Password
[1795] Output: Login successful message
[1796] Step 4: Submit a request
[1797] The user clicks the "New Request" button on the dashboard and enters the request in text format (e.g., "I want you to paint a scene of a cat standing with a sunset in the background"). A specific artist can be selected if necessary. The server receives and stores the input. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the emotion from the request and optimizes the request based on the results.
[1798] Input: Request content in text format
[1799] Output: Sentiment analysis results, optimized request content
[1800] Step 5: Request Processing
[1801] The server provides the tailored request to the generative model to initiate processing. The generative model analyzes the request and generates a work based on the style of the specific artist. The server receives the generated work and stores it in a database.
[1802] Input: Optimized request content
[1803] Output: Generated artwork file
[1804] Step 6: Submit your work
[1805] The server generates a URL for the generated work and associates it with the request ID. The device notifies the user that "generation is complete" and provides a download link. The user clicks the provided link to download the generated work.
[1806] Input: Generated artwork file
[1807] Output: Download link for the work, Download work
[1808] By following these steps, users can easily obtain customized digital artworks, and this system is beneficial for both artists and users.

[1816] "Work data" refers to digital content such as image files and text data that work providers upload to the platform.
[1817] The "server" is a central processing unit that stores artwork data in a database and trains the generative model.
[1818] A "database" is a storage device for storing uploaded work data and created works.
[1819] A "generative model" is an artificial intelligence model that learns from uploaded artwork data and generates digital artworks based on user requests.
[1820] "User" is the entity that enters a request to generate a digital artwork and receives the results.
[1821] An “artwork generation request” is a textual instruction that a user inputs into a Generative Model to generate a particular artwork.
[1822] "Emotion analysis results" are analysis results based on requests and emotions entered by users, and are data used to instruct the generative model.
[1823] A "preview image" is an image that displays a part or the whole of a generated digital artwork for the user to check.
[1824] "Purchase or Download Option" means the option that a user can choose to purchase or download the generated digital artwork for free.
[1825] "Generated Works" are digital artworks created by generative models based on user requests and sentiment analysis.
[1826] The present invention provides a specific system for generating and providing customized digital artworks that reflect a user's emotions. The system includes a means for an artwork provider to register and upload artwork data to a dedicated platform, a means for a server to store the uploaded artwork data in a database and train a generative model, a means for a user to input an artwork generation request, a means for the server to cause the generative model to generate an artwork based on the user's request and the results of emotion analysis, a means for presenting a preview image of the generated artwork and offering the option of purchasing or downloading, and a means for the server to store the generated artwork and provide it to the user.

[2013] 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."
[2014] Conventional digital art generation systems have struggled to efficiently generate works that reflect an artist's style. Furthermore, there are limited means for users to quickly obtain customized works based on their desired style and content. Therefore, there is a need for a digital art generation and distribution system that satisfies both artists and users.
[2015] 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.
[2016] In this invention, the server includes: a means for a work provider to register on the dedicated platform and input necessary information; a means for the server to receive the input information and save it in a database; a means for the server to send a registration confirmation notification and notify the completion of registration; a means for the work provider to log in to the platform and upload a work file; a means for the server to verify the uploaded work file and save it in a database; a means for the server to add the saved file to a training dataset for a generative model and perform re-training; a means for a user to log in to the platform and input a request; a means for the server to receive the input request and forward it to a generative model to generate a work in a specific style; a means for the server to receive the generated work and save it in a database; and a means for the terminal to notify the user that the generated work has been provided. This enables customized works that reflect the artist's style to be quickly generated and provided.

[2325] Step 1:
[2326] The server receives the request, generates a request ID and saves it in the database.
[2327] Step 2:
[2328] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotion from the text included in the request.
[2329] Step 3:
[2330] The server optimizes the request content and makes appropriate adjustments based on the analysis results of the emotion engine.

[2374] Example 2
[2375] 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."
[2376] While conventional digital art generation systems have the technology to generate artworks using the artist's style, it has been difficult to generate customized artworks that reflect the user's emotions. Furthermore, because the user's input request is passed directly to the generative model, the artwork generated does not necessarily reflect the user's intentions or emotions. This makes it difficult to increase user satisfaction.
[2377] 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.
[2378] In this invention, the server includes a means for performing sentiment analysis based on the user's request and optimizing the request content, a means for causing the generative model to generate a work in a specific style based on the user's request, and a means for generating a URL for the generated work and associating it with the request ID, thereby generating a customized artwork that reflects the user's sentiment and increasing user satisfaction.
[2379] "Work provider" refers to an individual or organization that registers on the dedicated platform and provides work data used to generate digital art.
[2380] "Dedicated Platform" means a web-based system through which work providers upload work data and users input work generation requests.
[2381] A "server" is a computer system that processes data received from work providers and users and performs various functions for work generation.
[2382] "Artwork data" is a general term for image files and related data uploaded by the creator of the work to train a generative model of digital art.
[2383] A "database" is a system for systematically storing uploaded work data, created works, user request information, etc., and for efficiently managing and searching such data.
[2384] A "generative model" is a machine learning model that learns the style of a particular artist and generates new artwork based on user requests.
[2385] "User" means an individual or entity that requests the creation of digital art using the Dedicated Platform.
[2386] The "request content" is text data that describes the specific requirements for the digital art that the user wants to create.
[2387] "Sentiment analysis" is the process of detecting emotions from the request content entered by the user and optimizing the request content based on those emotions.
[2388] "URL" is the address on the Internet for accessing the created work, and is provided to the user by the server.
[2389] A "request ID" is an identification number assigned to uniquely identify each request.
[2390] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[2391] This invention relates to a system for generating digital art, specifically a system that combines a generative model that learns the artist's style with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. This system allows users to easily obtain digital artworks customized based on their own emotions.
[2392] System program processing
[2393] The system uses the following hardware and software:
[2394] Server: A central computer system that stores and processes work data and request data. Data is managed using an SQL or NoSQL database.
[2395] Terminal: A device used by artists and users to access the dedicated platform using a web browser.
[2396] Generative models: For example, using machine learning models such as Stable Diffusion to generate artwork in the style of a particular artist.
[2397] Sentiment engine: Analyzes emotions from user input text using natural language processing techniques, such as Transformer-based models (e.g., BERT).
[2398] Artist registration and work submission
[2399] Artists access the dedicated platform and register by entering required information such as their name, email address, and password. The server receives this information and stores it in a database. A registration confirmation email is automatically sent to the artist, who clicks on a link to complete the registration. After logging in, the artist uploads their artwork data. The server then verifies the uploaded data and adds it to the training dataset for the generative model.
[2400] Training a generative model
[2401] Based on the uploaded artwork data, the generative model learns the style of a specific artist, which is then stored in a database and used to generate artwork.
[2402] User requests and creation
[2403] Users access the dedicated platform and log in by entering their login information. After logging in, they can enter their request in text format and specify a specific artist. The server receives this request and performs emotional analysis using an emotion engine.
[2404] For example, if the prompt is "Please draw a scene of a cat standing by the sea in the sunset. Please create a calm atmosphere," the emotion engine will detect the emotion "calm" and optimize the request. Based on the optimized request, the generative model will generate a work, which will then be stored in a database by the server.
[2405] Providing generated works
[2406] The server generates a URL for the generated work and associates it with the request ID. A notification containing this URL is sent to the device, and the user can click the download link to download the work.
[2407] This system allows users to quickly obtain digital artworks that are customized to their emotions, and also allows artists to efficiently offer their works and gain new revenue opportunities.
[2408] Specific examples
[2409] For example, an artist uploads their work to the platform, and the work is trained by the generative model. A user logs in and inputs a request, such as "Please paint a scene of a cat standing with a sunset in the background." The server receives this request and analyzes the user's emotions using an emotion engine. If the emotion of "calm" is detected based on the analysis results, the color tone and atmosphere of the work are adjusted. The generative model generates a work based on this adjusted request. The generated work is saved by the server and notified to the user. The user can obtain the generated work by clicking a download link.
[2410] Specific embodiments of the present invention allow users to easily obtain customized digital artwork based on their emotions.
[2411] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[2412] Step 1: Artist Registration
[2413] The artist accesses the registration page of the dedicated platform and enters the required information such as name, email address, and password. The server receives the entered information and stores it in a database. The server automatically sends a registration confirmation email, and the artist completes the registration by clicking the link in the confirmation email.
[2414] Input: Artist name, email address, password
[2415] Output: The artist's information is saved in the database and a confirmation email is sent.
[2416] Step 2: Submit your work
[2417] An artist logs in to the platform and selects a menu to upload their artwork file. Once the artist uploads the artwork file (e.g., JPEG, PNG, etc.), the server validates the uploaded file and stores it in a database. The server then adds the artwork file to the training dataset for the generative model and begins the training process.
[2418] Input: Artist's artwork file
[2419] Output: Work files stored in a database, training dataset for generative models
[2420] Step 3: User Login
[2421] The user accesses the platform's login page and enters their email address and password. The server performs authentication and, if successful, redirects the user to the dashboard. The device displays a message to the user indicating successful login.
[2422] Input: Email address, Password
[2423] Output: Login successful message
[2424] Step 4: Submit a request
[2425] The user clicks the "New Request" button on the dashboard and enters the request in text format (e.g., "I want you to paint a scene of a cat standing with a sunset in the background"). A specific artist can be selected if necessary. The server receives and stores the input. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the emotion from the request and optimizes the request based on the results.
[2426] Input: Request content in text format
[2427] Output: Sentiment analysis results, optimized request content
[2428] Step 5: Request Processing
[2429] The server provides the tailored request to the generative model to initiate processing. The generative model analyzes the request and generates a work based on the style of the specific artist. The server receives the generated work and stores it in a database.
[2430] Input: Optimized request content
[2431] Output: Generated artwork file
[2432] Step 6: Submit your work
[2433] The server generates a URL for the generated work and associates it with the request ID. The device notifies the user that "generation is complete" and provides a download link. The user clicks the provided link to download the generated work.
[2434] Input: Generated artwork file
[2435] Output: Download link for the work, Download work
[2436] By following these steps, users can easily obtain customized digital artworks, and this system is beneficial for both artists and users.
[2437] (Application example 2)
[2438] 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."
[2439] Conventional digital art creation systems generate artwork based solely on a simple text request entered by the user, making it difficult to provide customized artwork that reflects the user's emotions and mood. Therefore, there is a need to effectively create and provide digital artwork that truly resonates with users. The present invention solves this problem and provides a more personalized digital art creation system that reflects the user's emotions.
[2440] 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.
[2441] In this invention, the server includes a means for generating a work based on the emotion analysis result, a means for presenting a preview image of the generated work and offering the option of purchasing or downloading, and a means for storing the generated work and providing it to the user, thereby enabling the generation and provision of a customized digital artwork that reflects the emotion of the user.
[2442] A "work provider" is an entity that uploads their own work data to the dedicated platform.
[2443] The "dedicated platform" is an online system where creators can register and upload their work data and train the generative model.
[2444] "Work data" refers to digital content such as image files and text data that work providers upload to the platform.
[2445] The "server" is a central processing unit that stores artwork data in a database and trains the generative model.
[2446] A "database" is a storage device for storing uploaded work data and created works.
[2447] A "generative model" is an artificial intelligence model that learns from uploaded artwork data and generates digital artworks based on user requests.
[2448] "User" is the entity that enters a request to generate a digital artwork and receives the results.
[2449] An “artwork generation request” is a textual instruction that a user inputs into a Generative Model to generate a particular artwork.
[2450] "Emotion analysis results" are analysis results based on requests and emotions entered by users, and are data used to instruct the generative model.
[2451] A "preview image" is an image that displays a part or the whole of a generated digital artwork for the user to check.
[2452] "Purchase or Download Option" means the option that a user can choose to purchase or download the generated digital artwork for free.
[2453] "Generated Works" are digital artworks created by generative models based on user requests and sentiment analysis.
[2454] The present invention provides a specific system for generating and providing customized digital artworks that reflect a user's emotions. The system includes a means for an artwork provider to register and upload artwork data to a dedicated platform, a means for a server to store the uploaded artwork data in a database and train a generative model, a means for a user to input an artwork generation request, a means for the server to cause the generative model to generate an artwork based on the user's request and the results of emotion analysis, a means for presenting a preview image of the generated artwork and offering the option of purchasing or downloading, and a means for the server to store the generated artwork and provide it to the user.
[2455] Hardware and Software Configuration
[2456] server
[2457] The servers are equipped with high-performance hardware such as Intel Xeon processors and NVIDIA GPUs, and run generative and sentiment analysis models using software libraries such as Python, TensorFlow, and PyTorch.
[2458] The database can be a relational or NoSQL database such as PostgreSQL or MongoDB.
[2459] User terminal
[2460] User devices are smartphones or PCs, and access the platform using a dedicated application or web browser.
[2461] Smartphone applications are implemented as iOS or Android apps.
[2462] Sentiment Analysis and Generative Models
[2463] Emotion Analysis: Emotion recognition uses Python and the EmotionRecognition library to analyze emotional states from data input in text format.
[2464] Generative Modeling: Generative modeling uses Hugging Face's Transformers library and is performed by an AI model trained in the style of a specific artist.
[2465] Operating Procedure
[2466] Artist registration and work submission
[2467] 1. The artist registers an account on the dedicated platform and uploads their work data.
[2468] 2. The server verifies the uploaded artwork data, stores it in a database, and trains the generative model.
[2469] User requests and creation
[2470] 1. The user logs in to the dedicated app and enters a request to create a work in text format.
[2471] 2. The server uses an emotion engine to analyze emotions from the user's input.
[2472] 3. Generate prompts based on the sentiment analysis results and provide instructions to the generative model.
[2473] 4. The generative model generates a digital artwork in a specific style based on the user's request and the results of sentiment analysis.
[2474] Product preview and offering
[2475] 1. The server generates a preview image of the created work and presents it to the user.
[2476] 2. Users can preview the work and choose to purchase it or download it for free.
[2477] 3. The server stores the generated work in a database and provides a download link.
[2478] Specific examples
[2479] For example, if a user inputs "I feel tired" and requests "I want a drawing of a scene with a cat standing with a sunset in the background," the server sends this to the emotion engine and generates the "tired" emotion as an analysis result.
[2480] User sentiment: "I feel tired"
[2481] User request: "I want you to draw a scene of a cat standing with a sunset in the background."
[2482] Generated prompt: "Create a tired themed artwork of a cat standing against a sunset background in the style of Artist A."
[2483] A prompt is generated. The generative model generates a work based on this prompt and provides it to the user. This system makes it possible to quickly and effectively generate and provide customized digital artworks that reflect the user's emotions.
[2484] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[2485] Step 1:
[2486] Artist Registration
[2487] Artists access the dedicated platform and create an account by entering the required information, such as their name, email address, and password. The server receives the information entered and stores it in a database. A registration confirmation email is automatically generated and sent to the artist.
[2488] Input: Artist information such as name, email address, and password
[2489] Output: Artist information stored in the database and a confirmation email
[2490] Step 2:
[2491] Work provided
[2492] Artists log in to the platform and upload artwork files (JPEG, PNG, etc.) from their account management page. The server verifies the uploaded file format and size, stores it in a database, and adds the saved artwork data to the training dataset of the generative model, starting the model retraining process.
[2493] Input: Artist's work file
[2494] Output: Artwork data stored in a database and a retrained generative model
[2495] Step 3:
[2496] User Login
[2497] A user accesses the platform through a dedicated app or web browser and enters their email address and password. The server performs the authentication process, and if authentication is successful, redirects the user to the dashboard.
[2498] Input: User's email address and password
[2499] Output: Authentication result and redirect to dashboard
[2500] Step 4:
[2501] Enter your work request
[2502] Users can click the New Request button on the dashboard and enter a text-based production request, with the option to select a specific artist.
[2503] Input: User text request and artist selection
[2504] Output: The request data sent to the server
[2505] Step 5:
[2506] Emotion analysis
[2507] The server sends the request data to the emotion engine, which analyzes the user's input to determine the emotion. The emotion engine analyzes the text and identifies the dominant emotion (e.g., happy, sad, tired, etc.).
[2508] Input: User request text
[2509] Output: Emotion analysis results
[2510] Step 6:
[2511] Prompt Generation
[2512] The server creates prompts for the generative model based on the results of sentiment analysis and the user's request. For example, based on the request "I feel tired" and "A scene of a cat standing against a sunset," it generates a prompt such as "Create a tired-themed artwork of a cat standing against a sunset background in the style of Artist A."
[2513] Input: Sentiment analysis results and user requests
[2514] Output: Prompts for the generated model
[2515] Step 7:
[2516] Work generation
[2517] The server provides prompts to the generative model, which then generates the digital artwork. The generative model uses the learnings of a particular artist as a style to generate the digital artwork.
[2518] Input: Prompt for the generative model
[2519] Output: Generated digital artwork
[2520] Step 8:
[2521] Preview display
[2522] The server generates a preview image of the generated work and presents it to the user, who can then view the preview and select the option to purchase or download.
[2523] Input: Generated digital artwork
[2524] Output: Provide preview images and options to the user
[2525] Step 9:
[2526] Work provided
[2527] The server stores the generated work in a database and generates a download link, which is then sent to the user, who can then download or purchase the generated work.
[2528] Input: Generated digital artwork
[2529] Output: Download link and notification
[2530] This allows for the rapid creation and effective provision of customized digital artworks that reflect the user's emotions.
[2531] 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.
[2532] 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.
[2533] 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.
[2534] 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.
[2535] 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.
[2536] 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.
[2537] 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).
[2538] 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.
[2539] 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."
[2540] 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.
[2541] 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).
[2542] 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.
[2543] 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.
[2544] 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.
[2545] 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.
[2546] 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.
[2547] 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.
[2548] 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.
[2549] 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.
