[0037] The present invention provides a system for automating the setup process when connecting a new electronic device to a home network, enabling stable and secure device connection while minimizing the user's effort. Specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.
[0038] System Overview
[0039] The system consists of three main elements: a server, a device, and a user. The server exists on the network and acts as a central point for automating the connection and configuration of electronic devices. The device is typically a user's smartphone or computer, and is used for configuration and receiving notifications. The user is an individual who wants to connect a new electronic device to their home network.
[0040] Program processing explanation
[0041] 1. Device Recognition
[0042] When a user turns on a new electronic device to connect it to their home network, the device attempts to connect to the home Wi-Fi network.
[0043] The server monitors network traffic and detects when a new connection request occurs.
[0044] Example: A user buys a new smart TV and tries to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server becomes aware of its presence.
[0045] 2. Device information collection
[0046] The server attempts simple communication with the new device and collects basic information such as MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name.
[0047] The collected basic information is compared with a database on the server to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[0048] Example: The server obtains the MAC address and manufacturer name of the smart TV, and uses that information to search for the corresponding configuration profile in the database.
[0049] 3. Applying a configuration profile
[0050] The server uses the specified configuration profile to automatically apply network and security settings to the new device.
[0051] Once the settings have been applied, the server performs a communication test on the device to confirm that the settings have been applied.
[0052] Example: The server automatically configures the Wi-Fi SSID, encryption key, IP address, etc. on the smart TV, and then performs a communication test.
[0053] 4. Connection test and confirmation
[0054] The server verifies that the settings have been applied correctly and that the device has successfully connected to the network.
[0055] If the test result is normal, the server sends a notification of connection completion to the user's terminal.
[0056] Example: The server verifies that communication with the smart TV is successful and notifies the user's smartphone of the result.
[0057] 5. Learning and Optimization
[0058] The server continuously collects device usage and user feedback to optimize the system.
[0059] Update your configuration profiles and AI algorithms as new devices and technologies come to market.
[0060] Example: A server can automatically refine a configuration profile to prevent issues when connecting a smart TV in the future.
[0061] This system allows users to easily connect new electronic devices to their home network without any specialized knowledge, and the server monitors and optimizes settings and connection status, improving network security and communication stability.
[0062] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0063] Step 1:
[0064] A user powers on a new electronic device and connects it to their home network. For example, a user powers on a smart TV and selects their home Wi-Fi network from the Wi-Fi settings screen.
[0065] Step 2:
[0066] The server detects a new connection request on the network. For example, the server is monitoring network traffic and detects the MAC address of a new device.
[0067] Step 3:
[0068] The server will perform a PING test on the new device to ensure connectivity, thereby revealing the presence of the new device.
[0069] Step 4:
[0070] The server collects basic information about the new device, such as its MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name, which it obtains from the electronic device itself.
[0071] Step 5:
[0072] The server compares the collected basic information with a database to identify the appropriate configuration profile, specifically searching for a configuration profile based on the MAC address and manufacturer.
[0073] Step 6:
[0074] The server applies the specified configuration profile to the device, for example, by configuring the Wi-Fi SSID and encryption key, and assigning an IP address.
[0075] Step 7:
[0076] To confirm the settings after the server has applied them, the server performs a communication test with the device again. For example, it uses an HTTP request to check whether communication with the device is normal.
[0077] Step 8:
[0078] The server evaluates the results of the communication test to ensure that there are no abnormalities, for example, that the correct response is returned from the device.
[0079] Step 9:
[0080] The server notifies the user's device that the communication test has been successfully completed. For example, it sends a push notification to the smartphone saying, "Smart TV connection completed."
[0081] Step 10:
[0082] The server continuously monitors the usage of new devices and immediately notifies the user if an abnormality occurs. It also analyzes connection settings and behavior patterns to improve setting profiles and optimize the system.
[0083] Through these steps, the system of the present invention can quickly and safely connect a new electronic device to a home network, allowing users to smoothly connect devices without requiring specialized knowledge.

This enables a user to easily and safely connect a new electronic device to a home network without specialized knowledge.
[0089] The "means for detecting the connection of a new electronic device" has the function of identifying a device newly connected to a home network in real time.
[0090] The "means for collecting basic information" refers to a function that allows for obtaining data necessary for initial setup, such as MAC addresses, IP addresses, and manufacturer names, from detected electronic devices.

[0092] The "means for applying the setting profile to the electronic device" has a function for reflecting the selected setting profile in the new electronic device.
[0093] The "means for performing a communication test" has a function for performing a test to confirm whether the electronic device is normally connected to the network after the setting profile has been applied.
[0094] The "means for notifying the user of the results of the communication test" has a function for informing the user of information on whether the communication test was successful or not.
[0095] The "means for updating the system" has the function of optimizing the overall system performance and setting profile based on collected information and user feedback.
[0096] The "means for monitoring network traffic to detect new connection requests" has a function for monitoring connection requests on the network in real time and identifying connections of new devices.
[0097] The "means for checking basic information against a database" has a function for comparing the collected basic information of a new electronic device with a database prepared in advance and identifying a matching setting profile.
[0098] The "means for confirming that the electronic device is properly connected to the network" means a function for confirming that the electronic device is properly connected to the network if the communication test is successful.
[0099] "Means for collecting feedback from users and optimizing the system" refers to a function that analyzes opinions and usage data obtained from users and aims to improve and optimize the entire system.
[0100] This invention is a system that automates the setup process when connecting a new electronic device to a home network. This system consists of three main elements: the user, the server, and the terminal, and enables stable and secure device connection while minimizing user effort.

[0185] This invention is a system that allows users to easily connect new electronic devices they have purchased to a home network, and is particularly characterized by the ability to visually check the connection status by using a head-mounted display.
[0186] The system consists of three main elements: a server, a terminal (especially a head-mounted display), and a user. The server provides services over the network and automates, manages, and monitors the connection and configuration of electronic devices. The terminal is primarily a head-mounted display, through which the user can receive configuration guidance and check the connection status. The user is an individual who wants to connect a new electronic device to their home network.
[0187] 1. Hardware and Software
[0188] Hardware used
[0189] Server: A high-performance computer or cloud server
[0190] Device: Head-mounted display (e.g., Oculus Quest)
[0191] Software used
[0192] Programming language: Python
[0193] Library: Requests
[0194] Server API: RESTful API
[0195] 2. Data processing and calculation
[0196] The server monitors home network traffic to detect new connection requests. At this time, it collects basic information about the newly added electronic device (MAC address, IP address, manufacturer name, etc.) and uses that information to search a database for an appropriate configuration profile. After applying the configuration profile, it performs a communication test and notifies the user of the results. The user can visually confirm this notification through a head-mounted display.
[0197] Specific examples
[0198] For example, consider the case where a user purchases a new smart refrigerator at a virtual store. When the user brings the refrigerator home and turns it on, a setup guide automatically starts on the head-mounted display. The user follows the guide to connect the refrigerator to the home Wi-Fi network. The server monitors the connection status and communication test results in real time, and once it confirms that communication is normal, it displays the results on the head-mounted display. This allows the user to visually check the connection status and use the new device with peace of mind.
[0199] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0200] By inputting the following prompt sentences into the generative AI model, it can generate sentences to guide users through the process of connecting a new electronic device purchased from a virtual store to their home network.

[0254] 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.
[0255] The present invention is a system that automates the setup process when connecting a new electronic device to a home network, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, thereby reducing user stress and providing a more comfortable user experience. Specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.
[0256] System Overview
[0257] This system consists of four main components: a server, a device, an emotion engine, and a user. The server exists on the network and plays a central role in automating the connection and configuration of electronic devices. Devices are primarily smartphones or computers owned by users and are used for configuration and receiving notifications. The emotion engine has the ability to analyze emotions from the user's operational status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and the user is an individual who is attempting to connect a new electronic device to the home network.
[0258] Program processing explanation
[0259] 1. Device Recognition
[0260] When a user turns on a new electronic device to connect it to their home network, the device attempts to connect to the home Wi-Fi network.
[0261] The server monitors network traffic and detects when a new connection request occurs.
[0262] Example: A user buys a new smart TV and tries to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server becomes aware of its presence.
[0263] 2. Device information collection
[0264] The server attempts simple communication with the new device and collects basic information such as MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name.
[0265] The collected basic information is compared with a database on the server to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[0266] Example: The server obtains the MAC address and manufacturer name of the smart TV, and uses that information to search for the corresponding configuration profile in the database.
[0267] 3. Applying a configuration profile
[0268] The server uses the specified configuration profile to automatically apply network and security settings to the new device.
[0269] Once the settings have been applied, the server performs a communication test on the device to confirm that the settings have been applied.
[0270] Example: The server automatically configures the Wi-Fi SSID, encryption key, IP address, etc. on the smart TV, and then performs a communication test.
[0271] 4. Connection test and confirmation
[0272] The server verifies that the settings have been applied correctly and that the device has successfully connected to the network.
[0273] If the test result is normal, the server sends a notification of connection completion to the user's terminal.
[0274] Example: The server verifies that communication with the smart TV is successful and notifies the user's smartphone of the result.
[0275] 5. Monitoring and analysis by emotion engine
[0276] The emotion engine monitors the user's operating status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and analyzes the user's emotions.
[0277] If the user is feeling stressed, the emotion engine will detect this and take appropriate action.
[0278] Example: If a user feels they have a connection problem, the emotion engine will analyze their stress level from their facial expressions and voice, and the server will provide detailed instructions on how to operate the device.
[0279] 6. Optimizing notification content
[0280] Based on the analysis results of the emotion engine, the server adjusts the content and timing of notifications according to the user's emotions.
[0281] This allows notifications to be sent at the timing most convenient for the user.
[0282] Example: The server sends a notification that the connection is complete when the user is relaxed.
[0283] 7. Learning and Optimization
[0284] The server optimizes and updates the system based on the user's emotional data.
[0285] The data collected by the emotion engine will be used to improve future connection settings.
[0286] Example: Review connection procedures and update system configuration profiles to minimize server stress for users.
[0287] In this way, the system of the present invention not only allows new electronic devices to be quickly and safely connected to a home network, but also takes user feelings into consideration to provide a more pleasant user experience.
[0288] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0289] Step 1:
[0290] A user powers on a new electronic device and connects it to their home network. For example, a user powers on a smart TV and selects their home Wi-Fi network from the Wi-Fi settings screen.
[0291] Step 2:
[0292] The server detects a new connection request on the network. For example, the server is monitoring network traffic and detects the MAC address of a new device.
[0293] Step 3:
[0294] The server will perform a PING test on the new device to ensure connectivity, thereby revealing the presence of the new device.
[0295] Step 4:
[0296] The server collects basic information about the new device, such as its MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name, which it obtains from the electronic device itself.
[0297] Step 5:
[0298] The server compares the collected basic information with a database to identify the appropriate configuration profile, specifically searching for a configuration profile based on the MAC address and manufacturer.
[0299] Step 6:
[0300] The server applies the specified configuration profile to the device, for example, by configuring the Wi-Fi SSID and encryption key, and assigning an IP address.
[0301] Step 7:
[0302] After the server applies the configuration profile, it performs a communication test with the device again, using an HTTP request or similar to check whether communication with the device is normal.
[0303] Step 8:
[0304] The emotion engine monitors the user's operation status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and analyzes the user's emotions. For example, it uses a camera and microphone to understand the user's state of mind.
[0305] Step 9:
[0306] The server adjusts the notification content based on the communication test results and the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the server sends a notification with a simpler explanation.
[0307] Step 10:
[0308] The server notifies the user of the results of the communication test. For example, a push notification is sent to a smartphone stating, "Smart TV connection completed," so that the notification can be sent at a time when the user is relaxing.
[0309] Step 11:
[0310] The server continuously monitors the usage of new devices and immediately notifies the user if an abnormality occurs. It also optimizes the connection setting profile and system based on the data from the emotion engine.
[0311] Step 12:
[0312] The server uses the emotion engine to collect user feedback and improve the system. For example, if a user gives feedback such as "the settings are not working properly," the system is updated to reflect that feedback.
[0313] Through the above steps, the system of the present invention can quickly and safely connect new electronic devices to a home network, and also take into account the user's feelings to provide a more comfortable user experience.
[0314] Example 2
[0315] 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."
[0316] When connecting new electronic devices to a home network, users often face complex and cumbersome setup procedures that are time-consuming and laborious. Misconfigurations and connection failures can also occur, often causing frustration for users. Furthermore, conventional systems do not take into account the user's emotional state, which can be inconvenient, especially for users who are unfamiliar with technology. There is a need to provide a more comfortable and efficient electronic device connection experience by solving these issues.
[0317] 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.
[0318] In this invention, the server includes means for detecting the connection of a new electronic device, means for collecting basic information about the detected electronic device, means for selecting an appropriate setting profile based on the collected basic information, means for applying the selected setting profile to the electronic device, means for performing a communication test of the settings after application, means for notifying the user of the results of the communication test, means for monitoring and analyzing the user's emotions, means for optimizing the content and timing of notifications based on the emotion analysis, and means for updating the system based on the collected information and feedback. This reduces the operational burden on the user, reduces setting errors and connection failures, and makes it possible to provide a more comfortable connection experience through notifications and guidance that take the user's emotions into consideration.
[0319] "New electronic devices" refers to newly purchased or installed electronic devices that are added to a home network.
[0320] "Means for detecting connections" refers to technology or devices that automatically recognize connections when new electronic devices attempt to connect to a network.
[0321] "Basic information" refers to initial setting information collected about electronic devices, and specifically includes MAC addresses, IP addresses, manufacturer names, etc.
[0322] A "setting profile" refers to a data structure that stores a series of setting information for an electronic device to be properly connected to a network.
[0323] The "means for applying" refers to a method or technology for actually applying the specified setting profile to the electronic device.
[0324] "Communication test" refers to a connection confirmation test to check whether the electronic device is operating normally after the settings have been applied.
[0325] "Means for notifying" refers to a method or system for notifying the user of the results of the communication test or other important information.
[0326] "Means for monitoring and analyzing emotions" refers to technology and software that analyzes the user's operating status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and determines their emotional state.
[0327] "Means for optimizing notification content and timing" refers to a method or system for optimizing the content and timing of notifications sent to users based on the results of sentiment analysis.
[0328] "Means for updating the system based on collected information and feedback" refers to techniques for continuously optimizing and updating the system's configuration and operation using data and feedback obtained from users.
[0329] This invention is a system that automates the setup process when connecting new electronic devices to a home network and recognizes the user's emotions to provide a comfortable connection experience. This system consists of four main components: a server, a terminal, an emotion engine, and the user.
[0330] Server roles and functions:
[0331] The server is the core of the system, responsible for detecting the connection of new electronic devices and automating their configuration. Specifically, it performs the following tasks:
[0332] Use software that monitors network traffic to detect new electronic device connections, such as Wireshark.
[0333] It collects basic information (MAC address, IP address, manufacturer name, etc.) from any new electronic devices it detects, using an ARP request and reply mechanism.
[0334] Matching the collected information with a database (e.g., MySQL) to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[0335] The identified configuration profile is used to automatically apply network and security settings to the electronic device.
[0336] To check whether the settings have been applied correctly, perform a communication test using Ping or an HTTP request.
[0337] The test results are notified to the user's terminal.
[0338] Device roles and functions:
[0339] The device is mainly a smartphone or computer that the user has, and is used to check settings and receive notifications. It receives notifications from the server and displays them to the user.
[0340] Roles and Functions of the Emotion Engine:
[0341] The emotion engine is software that monitors and analyzes the user's operation status, facial expressions, voice, etc. Specifically, it performs the following processes:
[0342] The emotion engine processes data from the camera and microphone in real time and analyzes the user's emotions, for example using OpenCV and voice analysis models.
[0343] If the user is feeling stressed, the state is detected and notified to the server.
[0344] The server uses this information to optimize the content and timing of notifications.
[0345] User role:
[0346] A user is an individual who purchases a new electronic device and connects it to a home network. The system automatically applies the appropriate configuration profile, allowing the user to avoid tedious setup procedures. The emotion engine also reduces stress, allowing the user to enjoy a comfortable connection experience.
[0347] Examples:
[0348] A user purchases a new smart TV and attempts to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server recognizes its presence and collects basic information such as its MAC address and manufacturer's name. Using the collected information, the server searches for a corresponding configuration profile in its database and applies the required network settings to the smart TV. It then performs a communication test to confirm that the connection is successful. Meanwhile, the emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice, and if the user is feeling stressed, it sends that information to the server. The server then uses this information to notify the user of appropriate guidance or support messages.

[0513] The present invention provides a system for automating the setup process when connecting a new electronic device to a home network, enabling stable and secure device connection while minimizing the user's effort. Specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.
[0514] System Overview
[0515] The system consists of three main elements: a server, a device, and a user. The server exists on the network and acts as a central point for automating the connection and configuration of electronic devices. The device is typically a user's smartphone or computer, and is used for configuration and receiving notifications. The user is an individual who wants to connect a new electronic device to their home network.
[0516] Program processing explanation
[0517] 1. Device Recognition
[0518] When a user turns on a new electronic device to connect it to their home network, the device attempts to connect to the home Wi-Fi network.
[0519] The server monitors network traffic and detects when a new connection request occurs.
[0520] Example: A user buys a new smart TV and tries to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server becomes aware of its presence.
[0521] 2. Device information collection
[0522] The server attempts simple communication with the new device and collects basic information such as MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name.
[0523] The collected basic information is compared with a database on the server to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[0524] Example: The server obtains the MAC address and manufacturer name of the smart TV, and uses that information to search for the corresponding configuration profile in the database.
[0525] 3. Applying a configuration profile
[0526] The server uses the specified configuration profile to automatically apply network and security settings to the new device.
[0527] Once the settings have been applied, the server performs a communication test on the device to confirm that the settings have been applied.
[0528] Example: The server automatically configures the Wi-Fi SSID, encryption key, IP address, etc. on the smart TV, and then performs a communication test.
[0529] 4. Connection test and confirmation
[0530] The server verifies that the settings have been applied correctly and that the device has successfully connected to the network.
[0531] If the test result is normal, the server sends a notification of connection completion to the user's terminal.
[0532] Example: The server verifies that communication with the smart TV is successful and notifies the user's smartphone of the result.
[0533] 5. Learning and Optimization
[0534] The server continuously collects device usage and user feedback to optimize the system.
[0535] Update your configuration profiles and AI algorithms as new devices and technologies come to market.
[0536] Example: A server can automatically refine a configuration profile to prevent issues when connecting a smart TV in the future.
[0537] This system allows users to easily connect new electronic devices to their home network without any specialized knowledge, and the server monitors and optimizes settings and connection status, improving network security and communication stability.
[0538] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0539] Step 1:
[0540] A user powers on a new electronic device and connects it to their home network. For example, a user powers on a smart TV and selects their home Wi-Fi network from the Wi-Fi settings screen.
[0541] Step 2:
[0542] The server detects a new connection request on the network. For example, the server is monitoring network traffic and detects the MAC address of a new device.
[0543] Step 3:
[0544] The server will perform a PING test on the new device to ensure connectivity, thereby revealing the presence of the new device.
[0545] Step 4:
[0546] The server collects basic information about the new device, such as its MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name, which it obtains from the electronic device itself.
[0547] Step 5:
[0548] The server compares the collected basic information with a database to identify the appropriate configuration profile, specifically searching for a configuration profile based on the MAC address and manufacturer.
[0549] Step 6:
[0550] The server applies the specified configuration profile to the device, for example, by configuring the Wi-Fi SSID and encryption key, and assigning an IP address.
[0551] Step 7:
[0552] To confirm the settings after the server has applied them, the server performs a communication test with the device again. For example, it uses an HTTP request to check whether communication with the device is normal.
[0553] Step 8:
[0554] The server evaluates the results of the communication test to ensure that there are no abnormalities, for example, that the correct response is returned from the device.
[0555] Step 9:
[0556] The server notifies the user's device that the communication test has been successfully completed. For example, it sends a push notification to the smartphone saying, "Smart TV connection completed."
[0557] Step 10:
[0558] The server continuously monitors the usage of new devices and immediately notifies the user if an abnormality occurs. It also analyzes connection settings and behavior patterns to improve setting profiles and optimize the system.
[0559] Through these steps, the system of the present invention can quickly and safely connect a new electronic device to a home network, allowing users to smoothly connect devices without requiring specialized knowledge.

This enables a user to easily and safely connect a new electronic device to a home network without specialized knowledge.
[0565] The "means for detecting the connection of a new electronic device" has the function of identifying a device newly connected to a home network in real time.
[0566] The "means for collecting basic information" refers to a function that allows for obtaining data necessary for initial setup, such as MAC addresses, IP addresses, and manufacturer names, from detected electronic devices.

[0569] The "means for performing a communication test" has a function for performing a test to confirm whether the electronic device is normally connected to the network after the setting profile has been applied.
[0570] The "means for notifying the user of the results of the communication test" has a function for informing the user of information on whether the communication test was successful or not.
[0571] The "means for updating the system" has the function of optimizing the overall system performance and setting profile based on collected information and user feedback.
[0572] The "means for monitoring network traffic to detect new connection requests" has a function for monitoring connection requests on the network in real time and identifying connections of new devices.
[0573] The "means for checking basic information against a database" has a function for comparing the collected basic information of a new electronic device with a database prepared in advance and identifying a matching setting profile.
[0574] The "means for confirming that the electronic device is properly connected to the network" means a function for confirming that the electronic device is properly connected to the network if the communication test is successful.
[0575] "Means for collecting feedback from users and optimizing the system" refers to a function that analyzes opinions and usage data obtained from users and aims to improve and optimize the entire system.
[0576] This invention is a system that automates the setup process when connecting a new electronic device to a home network. This system consists of three main elements: the user, the server, and the terminal, and enables stable and secure device connection while minimizing user effort.

[0730] 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.
[0731] The present invention is a system that automates the setup process when connecting a new electronic device to a home network, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, thereby reducing user stress and providing a more comfortable user experience. Specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.
[0732] System Overview
[0733] This system consists of four main components: a server, a device, an emotion engine, and a user. The server exists on the network and plays a central role in automating the connection and configuration of electronic devices. Devices are primarily smartphones or computers owned by users and are used for configuration and receiving notifications. The emotion engine has the ability to analyze emotions from the user's operational status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and the user is an individual who is attempting to connect a new electronic device to the home network.
[0734] Program processing explanation
[0735] 1. Device Recognition
[0736] When a user turns on a new electronic device to connect it to their home network, the device attempts to connect to the home Wi-Fi network.
[0737] The server monitors network traffic and detects when a new connection request occurs.
[0738] Example: A user buys a new smart TV and tries to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server becomes aware of its presence.
[0739] 2. Device information collection
[0740] The server attempts simple communication with the new device and collects basic information such as MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name.
[0741] The collected basic information is compared with a database on the server to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[0742] Example: The server obtains the MAC address and manufacturer name of the smart TV, and uses that information to search for the corresponding configuration profile in the database.
[0743] 3. Applying a configuration profile
[0744] The server uses the specified configuration profile to automatically apply network and security settings to the new device.
[0745] Once the settings have been applied, the server performs a communication test on the device to confirm that the settings have been applied.
[0746] Example: The server automatically configures the Wi-Fi SSID, encryption key, IP address, etc. on the smart TV, and then performs a communication test.
[0747] 4. Connection test and confirmation
[0748] The server verifies that the settings have been applied correctly and that the device has successfully connected to the network.
[0749] If the test result is normal, the server sends a notification of connection completion to the user's terminal.
[0750] Example: The server verifies that communication with the smart TV is successful and notifies the user's smartphone of the result.
[0751] 5. Monitoring and analysis by emotion engine
[0752] The emotion engine monitors the user's operating status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and analyzes the user's emotions.
[0753] If the user is feeling stressed, the emotion engine will detect this and take appropriate action.
[0754] Example: If a user feels they have a connection problem, the emotion engine will analyze their stress level from their facial expressions and voice, and the server will provide detailed instructions on how to operate the device.
[0755] 6. Optimizing notification content
[0756] Based on the analysis results of the emotion engine, the server adjusts the content and timing of notifications according to the user's emotions.
[0757] This allows notifications to be sent at the timing most convenient for the user.
[0758] Example: The server sends a notification that the connection is complete when the user is relaxed.
[0759] 7. Learning and Optimization
[0760] The server optimizes and updates the system based on the user's emotional data.
[0761] The data collected by the emotion engine will be used to improve future connection settings.
[0762] Example: Review connection procedures and update system configuration profiles to minimize server stress for users.
[0763] In this way, the system of the present invention not only allows new electronic devices to be quickly and safely connected to a home network, but also takes user feelings into consideration to provide a more pleasant user experience.
[0764] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0765] Step 1:
[0766] A user powers on a new electronic device and connects it to their home network. For example, a user powers on a smart TV and selects their home Wi-Fi network from the Wi-Fi settings screen.
[0767] Step 2:
[0768] The server detects a new connection request on the network. For example, the server is monitoring network traffic and detects the MAC address of a new device.
[0769] Step 3:
[0770] The server will perform a PING test on the new device to ensure connectivity, thereby revealing the presence of the new device.
[0771] Step 4:
[0772] The server collects basic information about the new device, such as its MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name, which it obtains from the electronic device itself.
[0773] Step 5:
[0774] The server compares the collected basic information with a database to identify the appropriate configuration profile, specifically searching for a configuration profile based on the MAC address and manufacturer.
[0775] Step 6:
[0776] The server applies the specified configuration profile to the device, for example, by configuring the Wi-Fi SSID and encryption key, and assigning an IP address.
[0777] Step 7:
[0778] After the server applies the configuration profile, it performs a communication test with the device again, using an HTTP request or similar to check whether communication with the device is normal.
[0779] Step 8:
[0780] The emotion engine monitors the user's operation status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and analyzes the user's emotions. For example, it uses a camera and microphone to understand the user's state of mind.
[0781] Step 9:
[0782] The server adjusts the notification content based on the communication test results and the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the server sends a notification with a simpler explanation.
[0783] Step 10:
[0784] The server notifies the user of the results of the communication test. For example, a push notification is sent to a smartphone stating, "Smart TV connection completed," so that the notification can be sent at a time when the user is relaxing.
[0785] Step 11:
[0786] The server continuously monitors the usage of new devices and immediately notifies the user if an abnormality occurs. It also optimizes the connection setting profile and system based on the data from the emotion engine.
[0787] Step 12:
[0788] The server uses the emotion engine to collect user feedback and improve the system. For example, if a user gives feedback such as "the settings are not working properly," the system is updated to reflect that feedback.
[0789] Through the above steps, the system of the present invention can quickly and safely connect new electronic devices to a home network, and also take into account the user's feelings to provide a more comfortable user experience.
[0790] Example 2
[0791] 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."
[0792] When connecting new electronic devices to a home network, users often face complex and cumbersome setup procedures that are time-consuming and laborious. Misconfigurations and connection failures can also occur, often causing frustration for users. Furthermore, conventional systems do not take into account the user's emotional state, which can be inconvenient, especially for users who are unfamiliar with technology. There is a need to provide a more comfortable and efficient electronic device connection experience by solving these issues.
[0793] 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.

[0798] A "setting profile" refers to a data structure that stores a series of setting information for an electronic device to be properly connected to a network.
[0799] The "means for applying" refers to a method or technology for actually applying the specified setting profile to the electronic device.
[0800] "Communication test" refers to a connection confirmation test to check whether the electronic device is operating normally after the settings have been applied.
[0801] "Means for notifying" refers to a method or system for notifying the user of the results of the communication test or other important information.

[0804] "Means for updating the system based on collected information and feedback" refers to techniques for continuously optimizing and updating the system's configuration and operation using data and feedback obtained from users.
[0805] This invention is a system that automates the setup process when connecting new electronic devices to a home network and recognizes the user's emotions to provide a comfortable connection experience. This system consists of four main components: a server, a terminal, an emotion engine, and the user.
[0806] Server roles and functions:
[0807] The server is the core of the system, responsible for detecting the connection of new electronic devices and automating their configuration. Specifically, it performs the following tasks:
[0808] Use software that monitors network traffic to detect new electronic device connections, such as Wireshark.
[0809] It collects basic information (MAC address, IP address, manufacturer name, etc.) from any new electronic devices it detects, using an ARP request and reply mechanism.
[0810] Matching the collected information with a database (e.g., MySQL) to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[0811] The identified configuration profile is used to automatically apply network and security settings to the electronic device.
[0812] To check whether the settings have been applied correctly, perform a communication test using Ping or an HTTP request.
[0813] The test results are notified to the user's terminal.
[0814] Device roles and functions:
[0815] The device is mainly a smartphone or computer that the user has, and is used to check settings and receive notifications. It receives notifications from the server and displays them to the user.
[0816] Roles and Functions of the Emotion Engine:
[0817] The emotion engine is software that monitors and analyzes the user's operation status, facial expressions, voice, etc. Specifically, it performs the following processes:
[0818] The emotion engine processes data from the camera and microphone in real time and analyzes the user's emotions, for example using OpenCV and voice analysis models.
[0819] If the user is feeling stressed, the state is detected and notified to the server.
[0820] The server uses this information to optimize the content and timing of notifications.
[0821] User role:
[0822] A user is an individual who purchases a new electronic device and connects it to a home network. The system automatically applies the appropriate configuration profile, allowing the user to avoid tedious setup procedures. The emotion engine also reduces stress, allowing the user to enjoy a comfortable connection experience.
[0823] Examples:
[0824] A user purchases a new smart TV and attempts to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server recognizes its presence and collects basic information such as its MAC address and manufacturer's name. Using the collected information, the server searches for a corresponding configuration profile in its database and applies the required network settings to the smart TV. It then performs a communication test to confirm that the connection is successful. Meanwhile, the emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice, and if the user is feeling stressed, it sends that information to the server. The server then uses this information to notify the user of appropriate guidance or support messages.

[0989] The present invention provides a system for automating the setup process when connecting a new electronic device to a home network, enabling stable and secure device connection while minimizing the user's effort. Specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.
[0990] System Overview
[0991] The system consists of three main elements: a server, a device, and a user. The server exists on the network and acts as a central point for automating the connection and configuration of electronic devices. The device is typically a user's smartphone or computer, and is used for configuration and receiving notifications. The user is an individual who wants to connect a new electronic device to their home network.
[0992] Program processing explanation
[0993] 1. Device Recognition
[0994] When a user turns on a new electronic device to connect it to their home network, the device attempts to connect to the home Wi-Fi network.
[0995] The server monitors network traffic and detects when a new connection request occurs.
[0996] Example: A user buys a new smart TV and tries to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server becomes aware of its presence.
[0997] 2. Device information collection
[0998] The server attempts simple communication with the new device and collects basic information such as MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name.
[0999] The collected basic information is compared with a database on the server to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[1000] Example: The server obtains the MAC address and manufacturer name of the smart TV, and uses that information to search for the corresponding configuration profile in the database.
[1001] 3. Applying a configuration profile
[1002] The server uses the specified configuration profile to automatically apply network and security settings to the new device.
[1003] Once the settings have been applied, the server performs a communication test on the device to confirm that the settings have been applied.
[1004] Example: The server automatically configures the Wi-Fi SSID, encryption key, IP address, etc. on the smart TV, and then performs a communication test.
[1005] 4. Connection test and confirmation
[1006] The server verifies that the settings have been applied correctly and that the device has successfully connected to the network.
[1007] If the test result is normal, the server sends a notification of connection completion to the user's terminal.
[1008] Example: The server verifies that communication with the smart TV is successful and notifies the user's smartphone of the result.
[1009] 5. Learning and Optimization
[1010] The server continuously collects device usage and user feedback to optimize the system.
[1011] Update your configuration profiles and AI algorithms as new devices and technologies come to market.
[1012] Example: A server can automatically refine a configuration profile to prevent issues when connecting a smart TV in the future.
[1013] This system allows users to easily connect new electronic devices to their home network without any specialized knowledge, and the server monitors and optimizes settings and connection status, improving network security and communication stability.
[1014] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1015] Step 1:
[1016] A user powers on a new electronic device and connects it to their home network. For example, a user powers on a smart TV and selects their home Wi-Fi network from the Wi-Fi settings screen.
[1017] Step 2:
[1018] The server detects a new connection request on the network. For example, the server is monitoring network traffic and detects the MAC address of a new device.
[1019] Step 3:
[1020] The server will perform a PING test on the new device to ensure connectivity, thereby revealing the presence of the new device.
[1021] Step 4:
[1022] The server collects basic information about the new device, such as its MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name, which it obtains from the electronic device itself.
[1023] Step 5:
[1024] The server compares the collected basic information with a database to identify the appropriate configuration profile, specifically searching for a configuration profile based on the MAC address and manufacturer.
[1025] Step 6:
[1026] The server applies the specified configuration profile to the device, for example, by configuring the Wi-Fi SSID and encryption key, and assigning an IP address.
[1027] Step 7:
[1028] To confirm the settings after the server has applied them, the server performs a communication test with the device again. For example, it uses an HTTP request to check whether communication with the device is normal.
[1029] Step 8:
[1030] The server evaluates the results of the communication test to ensure that there are no abnormalities, for example, that the correct response is returned from the device.
[1031] Step 9:
[1032] The server notifies the user's device that the communication test has been successfully completed. For example, it sends a push notification to the smartphone saying, "Smart TV connection completed."
[1033] Step 10:
[1034] The server continuously monitors the usage of new devices and immediately notifies the user if an abnormality occurs. It also analyzes connection settings and behavior patterns to improve setting profiles and optimize the system.
[1035] Through these steps, the system of the present invention can quickly and safely connect a new electronic device to a home network, allowing users to smoothly connect devices without requiring specialized knowledge.

This enables a user to easily and safely connect a new electronic device to a home network without specialized knowledge.
[1041] The "means for detecting the connection of a new electronic device" has the function of identifying a device newly connected to a home network in real time.
[1042] The "means for collecting basic information" refers to a function that allows for obtaining data necessary for initial setup, such as MAC addresses, IP addresses, and manufacturer names, from detected electronic devices.
[1043] The "means for selecting an appropriate setting profile" has a function to automatically select a profile including the optimal network and security settings for the electronic device based on the collected basic information.
[1044] The "means for applying the setting profile to the electronic device" has a function for reflecting the selected setting profile in the new electronic device.
[1045] The "means for performing a communication test" has a function for performing a test to confirm whether the electronic device is normally connected to the network after the setting profile has been applied.
[1046] The "means for notifying the user of the results of the communication test" has a function for informing the user of information on whether the communication test was successful or not.
[1047] The "means for updating the system" has the function of optimizing the overall system performance and setting profile based on collected information and user feedback.
[1048] The "means for monitoring network traffic to detect new connection requests" has a function for monitoring connection requests on the network in real time and identifying connections of new devices.
[1049] The "means for checking basic information against a database" has a function for comparing the collected basic information of a new electronic device with a database prepared in advance and identifying a matching setting profile.
[1050] The "means for confirming that the electronic device is properly connected to the network" means a function for confirming that the electronic device is properly connected to the network if the communication test is successful.
[1051] "Means for collecting feedback from users and optimizing the system" refers to a function that analyzes opinions and usage data obtained from users and aims to improve and optimize the entire system.
[1052] This invention is a system that automates the setup process when connecting a new electronic device to a home network. This system consists of three main elements: the user, the server, and the terminal, and enables stable and secure device connection while minimizing user effort.

[1212] When a user turns on a new electronic device to connect it to their home network, the device attempts to connect to the home Wi-Fi network.
[1213] The server monitors network traffic and detects when a new connection request occurs.
[1214] Example: A user buys a new smart TV and tries to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server becomes aware of its presence.
[1215] 2. Device information collection
[1216] The server attempts simple communication with the new device and collects basic information such as MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name.
[1217] The collected basic information is compared with a database on the server to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[1218] Example: The server obtains the MAC address and manufacturer name of the smart TV, and uses that information to search for the corresponding configuration profile in the database.
[1219] 3. Applying a configuration profile
[1220] The server uses the specified configuration profile to automatically apply network and security settings to the new device.
[1221] Once the settings have been applied, the server performs a communication test on the device to confirm that the settings have been applied.
[1222] Example: The server automatically configures the Wi-Fi SSID, encryption key, IP address, etc. on the smart TV, and then performs a communication test.
[1223] 4. Connection test and confirmation
[1224] The server verifies that the settings have been applied correctly and that the device has successfully connected to the network.
[1225] If the test result is normal, the server sends a notification of connection completion to the user's terminal.
[1226] Example: The server verifies that communication with the smart TV is successful and notifies the user's smartphone of the result.
[1227] 5. Monitoring and analysis by emotion engine
[1228] The emotion engine monitors the user's operating status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and analyzes the user's emotions.
[1229] If the user is feeling stressed, the emotion engine will detect this and take appropriate action.
[1230] Example: If a user feels they have a connection problem, the emotion engine will analyze their stress level from their facial expressions and voice, and the server will provide detailed instructions on how to operate the device.
[1231] 6. Optimizing notification content
[1232] Based on the analysis results of the emotion engine, the server adjusts the content and timing of notifications according to the user's emotions.
[1233] This allows notifications to be sent at the timing most convenient for the user.
[1234] Example: The server sends a notification that the connection is complete when the user is relaxed.
[1235] 7. Learning and Optimization
[1236] The server optimizes and updates the system based on the user's emotional data.
[1237] The data collected by the emotion engine will be used to improve future connection settings.
[1238] Example: Review connection procedures and update system configuration profiles to minimize server stress for users.
[1239] In this way, the system of the present invention not only allows new electronic devices to be quickly and safely connected to a home network, but also takes user feelings into consideration to provide a more pleasant user experience.
[1240] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1241] Step 1:
[1242] A user powers on a new electronic device and connects it to their home network. For example, a user powers on a smart TV and selects their home Wi-Fi network from the Wi-Fi settings screen.
[1243] Step 2:
[1244] The server detects a new connection request on the network. For example, the server is monitoring network traffic and detects the MAC address of a new device.
[1245] Step 3:
[1246] The server will perform a PING test on the new device to ensure connectivity, thereby revealing the presence of the new device.
[1247] Step 4:
[1248] The server collects basic information about the new device, such as its MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name, which it obtains from the electronic device itself.
[1249] Step 5:
[1250] The server compares the collected basic information with a database to identify the appropriate configuration profile, specifically searching for a configuration profile based on the MAC address and manufacturer.
[1251] Step 6:
[1252] The server applies the specified configuration profile to the device, for example, by configuring the Wi-Fi SSID and encryption key, and assigning an IP address.
[1253] Step 7:
[1254] After the server applies the configuration profile, it performs a communication test with the device again, using an HTTP request or similar to check whether communication with the device is normal.
[1255] Step 8:
[1256] The emotion engine monitors the user's operation status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and analyzes the user's emotions. For example, it uses a camera and microphone to understand the user's state of mind.
[1257] Step 9:
[1258] The server adjusts the notification content based on the communication test results and the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the server sends a notification with a simpler explanation.
[1259] Step 10:
[1260] The server notifies the user of the results of the communication test. For example, a push notification is sent to a smartphone stating, "Smart TV connection completed," so that the notification can be sent at a time when the user is relaxing.
[1261] Step 11:
[1262] The server continuously monitors the usage of new devices and immediately notifies the user if an abnormality occurs. It also optimizes the connection setting profile and system based on the data from the emotion engine.
[1263] Step 12:
[1264] The server uses the emotion engine to collect user feedback and improve the system. For example, if a user gives feedback such as "the settings are not working properly," the system is updated to reflect that feedback.
[1265] Through the above steps, the system of the present invention can quickly and safely connect new electronic devices to a home network, and also take into account the user's feelings to provide a more comfortable user experience.
[1266] Example 2
[1267] 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."
[1268] When connecting new electronic devices to a home network, users often face complex and cumbersome setup procedures that are time-consuming and laborious. Misconfigurations and connection failures can also occur, often causing frustration for users. Furthermore, conventional systems do not take into account the user's emotional state, which can be inconvenient, especially for users who are unfamiliar with technology. There is a need to provide a more comfortable and efficient electronic device connection experience by solving these issues.
[1269] 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.

[1281] This invention is a system that automates the setup process when connecting new electronic devices to a home network and recognizes the user's emotions to provide a comfortable connection experience. This system consists of four main components: a server, a terminal, an emotion engine, and the user.
[1282] Server roles and functions:
[1283] The server is the core of the system, responsible for detecting the connection of new electronic devices and automating their configuration. Specifically, it performs the following tasks:
[1284] Use software that monitors network traffic to detect new electronic device connections, such as Wireshark.
[1285] It collects basic information (MAC address, IP address, manufacturer name, etc.) from any new electronic devices it detects, using an ARP request and reply mechanism.
[1286] Matching the collected information with a database (e.g., MySQL) to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[1287] The identified configuration profile is used to automatically apply network and security settings to the electronic device.
[1288] To check whether the settings have been applied correctly, perform a communication test using Ping or an HTTP request.
[1289] The test results are notified to the user's terminal.
[1290] Device roles and functions:
[1291] The device is mainly a smartphone or computer that the user has, and is used to check settings and receive notifications. It receives notifications from the server and displays them to the user.
[1292] Roles and Functions of the Emotion Engine:
[1293] The emotion engine is software that monitors and analyzes the user's operation status, facial expressions, voice, etc. Specifically, it performs the following processes:
[1294] The emotion engine processes data from the camera and microphone in real time and analyzes the user's emotions, for example using OpenCV and voice analysis models.
[1295] If the user is feeling stressed, the state is detected and notified to the server.
[1296] The server uses this information to optimize the content and timing of notifications.
[1297] User role:
[1298] A user is an individual who purchases a new electronic device and connects it to a home network. The system automatically applies the appropriate configuration profile, allowing the user to avoid tedious setup procedures. The emotion engine also reduces stress, allowing the user to enjoy a comfortable connection experience.
[1299] Examples:
[1300] A user purchases a new smart TV and attempts to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server recognizes its presence and collects basic information such as its MAC address and manufacturer's name. Using the collected information, the server searches for a corresponding configuration profile in its database and applies the required network settings to the smart TV. It then performs a communication test to confirm that the connection is successful. Meanwhile, the emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice, and if the user is feeling stressed, it sends that information to the server. The server then uses this information to notify the user of appropriate guidance or support messages.

[1466] The present invention provides a system for automating the setup process when connecting a new electronic device to a home network, enabling stable and secure device connection while minimizing the user's effort. Specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.
[1467] System Overview
[1468] The system consists of three main elements: a server, a device, and a user. The server exists on the network and acts as a central point for automating the connection and configuration of electronic devices. The device is typically a user's smartphone or computer, and is used for configuration and receiving notifications. The user is an individual who wants to connect a new electronic device to their home network.
[1469] Program processing explanation
[1470] 1. Device Recognition
[1471] When a user turns on a new electronic device to connect it to their home network, the device attempts to connect to the home Wi-Fi network.
[1472] The server monitors network traffic and detects when a new connection request occurs.
[1473] Example: A user buys a new smart TV and tries to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server becomes aware of its presence.
[1474] 2. Device information collection
[1475] The server attempts simple communication with the new device and collects basic information such as MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name.
[1476] The collected basic information is compared with a database on the server to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[1477] Example: The server obtains the MAC address and manufacturer name of the smart TV, and uses that information to search for the corresponding configuration profile in the database.
[1478] 3. Applying a configuration profile
[1479] The server uses the specified configuration profile to automatically apply network and security settings to the new device.
[1480] Once the settings have been applied, the server performs a communication test on the device to confirm that the settings have been applied.
[1481] Example: The server automatically configures the Wi-Fi SSID, encryption key, IP address, etc. on the smart TV, and then performs a communication test.
[1482] 4. Connection test and confirmation
[1483] The server verifies that the settings have been applied correctly and that the device has successfully connected to the network.
[1484] If the test result is normal, the server sends a notification of connection completion to the user's terminal.
[1485] Example: The server verifies that communication with the smart TV is successful and notifies the user's smartphone of the result.
[1486] 5. Learning and Optimization
[1487] The server continuously collects device usage and user feedback to optimize the system.
[1488] Update your configuration profiles and AI algorithms as new devices and technologies come to market.
[1489] Example: A server can automatically refine a configuration profile to prevent issues when connecting a smart TV in the future.
[1490] This system allows users to easily connect new electronic devices to their home network without any specialized knowledge, and the server monitors and optimizes settings and connection status, improving network security and communication stability.
[1491] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1492] Step 1:
[1493] A user powers on a new electronic device and connects it to their home network. For example, a user powers on a smart TV and selects their home Wi-Fi network from the Wi-Fi settings screen.
[1494] Step 2:
[1495] The server detects a new connection request on the network. For example, the server is monitoring network traffic and detects the MAC address of a new device.
[1496] Step 3:
[1497] The server will perform a PING test on the new device to ensure connectivity, thereby revealing the presence of the new device.
[1498] Step 4:
[1499] The server collects basic information about the new device, such as its MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name, which it obtains from the electronic device itself.
[1500] Step 5:
[1501] The server compares the collected basic information with a database to identify the appropriate configuration profile, specifically searching for a configuration profile based on the MAC address and manufacturer.
[1502] Step 6:
[1503] The server applies the specified configuration profile to the device, for example, by configuring the Wi-Fi SSID and encryption key, and assigning an IP address.
[1504] Step 7:
[1505] To confirm the settings after the server has applied them, the server performs a communication test with the device again. For example, it uses an HTTP request to check whether communication with the device is normal.
[1506] Step 8:
[1507] The server evaluates the results of the communication test to ensure that there are no abnormalities, for example, that the correct response is returned from the device.
[1508] Step 9:
[1509] The server notifies the user's device that the communication test has been successfully completed. For example, it sends a push notification to the smartphone saying, "Smart TV connection completed."
[1510] Step 10:
[1511] The server continuously monitors the usage of new devices and immediately notifies the user if an abnormality occurs. It also analyzes connection settings and behavior patterns to improve setting profiles and optimize the system.
[1512] Through these steps, the system of the present invention can quickly and safely connect a new electronic device to a home network, allowing users to smoothly connect devices without requiring specialized knowledge.

This enables a user to easily and safely connect a new electronic device to a home network without specialized knowledge.
[1518] The "means for detecting the connection of a new electronic device" has the function of identifying a device newly connected to a home network in real time.
[1519] The "means for collecting basic information" refers to a function that allows for obtaining data necessary for initial setup, such as MAC addresses, IP addresses, and manufacturer names, from detected electronic devices.

[1522] The "means for performing a communication test" has a function for performing a test to confirm whether the electronic device is normally connected to the network after the setting profile has been applied.
[1523] The "means for notifying the user of the results of the communication test" has a function for informing the user of information on whether the communication test was successful or not.
[1524] The "means for updating the system" has the function of optimizing the overall system performance and setting profile based on collected information and user feedback.
[1525] The "means for monitoring network traffic to detect new connection requests" has a function for monitoring connection requests on the network in real time and identifying connections of new devices.
[1526] The "means for checking basic information against a database" has a function for comparing the collected basic information of a new electronic device with a database prepared in advance and identifying a matching setting profile.
[1527] The "means for confirming that the electronic device is properly connected to the network" means a function for confirming that the electronic device is properly connected to the network if the communication test is successful.
[1528] "Means for collecting feedback from users and optimizing the system" refers to a function that analyzes opinions and usage data obtained from users and aims to improve and optimize the entire system.
[1529] This invention is a system that automates the setup process when connecting a new electronic device to a home network. This system consists of three main elements: the user, the server, and the terminal, and enables stable and secure device connection while minimizing user effort.

[1684] The present invention is a system that automates the setup process when connecting a new electronic device to a home network, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, thereby reducing user stress and providing a more comfortable user experience. Specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.
[1685] System Overview
[1686] This system consists of four main components: a server, a device, an emotion engine, and a user. The server exists on the network and plays a central role in automating the connection and configuration of electronic devices. Devices are primarily smartphones or computers owned by users and are used for configuration and receiving notifications. The emotion engine has the ability to analyze emotions from the user's operational status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and the user is an individual who is attempting to connect a new electronic device to the home network.
[1687] Program processing explanation
[1688] 1. Device Recognition
[1689] When a user turns on a new electronic device to connect it to their home network, the device attempts to connect to the home Wi-Fi network.
[1690] The server monitors network traffic and detects when a new connection request occurs.
[1691] Example: A user buys a new smart TV and tries to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server becomes aware of its presence.
[1692] 2. Device information collection
[1693] The server attempts simple communication with the new device and collects basic information such as MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name.
[1694] The collected basic information is compared with a database on the server to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[1695] Example: The server obtains the MAC address and manufacturer name of the smart TV, and uses that information to search for the corresponding configuration profile in the database.
[1696] 3. Applying a configuration profile
[1697] The server uses the specified configuration profile to automatically apply network and security settings to the new device.
[1698] Once the settings have been applied, the server performs a communication test on the device to confirm that the settings have been applied.
[1699] Example: The server automatically configures the Wi-Fi SSID, encryption key, IP address, etc. on the smart TV, and then performs a communication test.
[1700] 4. Connection test and confirmation
[1701] The server verifies that the settings have been applied correctly and that the device has successfully connected to the network.
[1702] If the test result is normal, the server sends a notification of connection completion to the user's terminal.
[1703] Example: The server verifies that communication with the smart TV is successful and notifies the user's smartphone of the result.
[1704] 5. Monitoring and analysis by emotion engine
[1705] The emotion engine monitors the user's operating status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and analyzes the user's emotions.
[1706] If the user is feeling stressed, the emotion engine will detect this and take appropriate action.
[1707] Example: If a user feels they have a connection problem, the emotion engine will analyze their stress level from their facial expressions and voice, and the server will provide detailed instructions on how to operate the device.
[1708] 6. Optimizing notification content
[1709] Based on the analysis results of the emotion engine, the server adjusts the content and timing of notifications according to the user's emotions.
[1710] This allows notifications to be sent at the timing most convenient for the user.
[1711] Example: The server sends a notification that the connection is complete when the user is relaxed.
[1712] 7. Learning and Optimization
[1713] The server optimizes and updates the system based on the user's emotional data.
[1714] The data collected by the emotion engine will be used to improve future connection settings.
[1715] Example: Review connection procedures and update system configuration profiles to minimize server stress for users.
[1716] In this way, the system of the present invention not only allows new electronic devices to be quickly and safely connected to a home network, but also takes user feelings into consideration to provide a more pleasant user experience.
[1717] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1718] Step 1:
[1719] A user powers on a new electronic device and connects it to their home network. For example, a user powers on a smart TV and selects their home Wi-Fi network from the Wi-Fi settings screen.
[1720] Step 2:
[1721] The server detects a new connection request on the network. For example, the server is monitoring network traffic and detects the MAC address of a new device.
[1722] Step 3:
[1723] The server will perform a PING test on the new device to ensure connectivity, thereby revealing the presence of the new device.
[1724] Step 4:
[1725] The server collects basic information about the new device, such as its MAC address, IP address, and manufacturer name, which it obtains from the electronic device itself.
[1726] Step 5:
[1727] The server compares the collected basic information with a database to identify the appropriate configuration profile, specifically searching for a configuration profile based on the MAC address and manufacturer.
[1728] Step 6:
[1729] The server applies the specified configuration profile to the device, for example, by configuring the Wi-Fi SSID and encryption key, and assigning an IP address.
[1730] Step 7:
[1731] After the server applies the configuration profile, it performs a communication test with the device again, using an HTTP request or similar to check whether communication with the device is normal.
[1732] Step 8:
[1733] The emotion engine monitors the user's operation status, facial expressions, voice, etc., and analyzes the user's emotions. For example, it uses a camera and microphone to understand the user's state of mind.
[1734] Step 9:
[1735] The server adjusts the notification content based on the communication test results and the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the server sends a notification with a simpler explanation.
[1736] Step 10:
[1737] The server notifies the user of the results of the communication test. For example, a push notification is sent to a smartphone stating, "Smart TV connection completed," so that the notification can be sent at a time when the user is relaxing.
[1738] Step 11:
[1739] The server continuously monitors the usage of new devices and immediately notifies the user if an abnormality occurs. It also optimizes the connection setting profile and system based on the data from the emotion engine.
[1740] Step 12:
[1741] The server uses the emotion engine to collect user feedback and improve the system. For example, if a user gives feedback such as "the settings are not working properly," the system is updated to reflect that feedback.
[1742] Through the above steps, the system of the present invention can quickly and safely connect new electronic devices to a home network, and also take into account the user's feelings to provide a more comfortable user experience.
[1743] Example 2
[1744] 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."
[1745] When connecting new electronic devices to a home network, users often face complex and cumbersome setup procedures that are time-consuming and laborious. Misconfigurations and connection failures can also occur, often causing frustration for users. Furthermore, conventional systems do not take into account the user's emotional state, which can be inconvenient, especially for users who are unfamiliar with technology. There is a need to provide a more comfortable and efficient electronic device connection experience by solving these issues.
[1746] 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.
[1747] In this invention, the server includes means for detecting the connection of a new electronic device, means for collecting basic information about the detected electronic device, means for selecting an appropriate setting profile based on the collected basic information, means for applying the selected setting profile to the electronic device, means for performing a communication test of the settings after application, means for notifying the user of the results of the communication test, means for monitoring and analyzing the user's emotions, means for optimizing the content and timing of notifications based on the emotion analysis, and means for updating the system based on the collected information and feedback. This reduces the operational burden on the user, reduces setting errors and connection failures, and makes it possible to provide a more comfortable connection experience through notifications and guidance that take the user's emotions into consideration.

[1751] A "setting profile" refers to a data structure that stores a series of setting information for an electronic device to be properly connected to a network.
[1752] The "means for applying" refers to a method or technology for actually applying the specified setting profile to the electronic device.
[1753] "Communication test" refers to a connection confirmation test to check whether the electronic device is operating normally after the settings have been applied.
[1754] "Means for notifying" refers to a method or system for notifying the user of the results of the communication test or other important information.

[1757] "Means for updating the system based on collected information and feedback" refers to techniques for continuously optimizing and updating the system's configuration and operation using data and feedback obtained from users.
[1758] This invention is a system that automates the setup process when connecting new electronic devices to a home network and recognizes the user's emotions to provide a comfortable connection experience. This system consists of four main components: a server, a terminal, an emotion engine, and the user.
[1759] Server roles and functions:
[1760] The server is the core of the system, responsible for detecting the connection of new electronic devices and automating their configuration. Specifically, it performs the following tasks:
[1761] Use software that monitors network traffic to detect new electronic device connections, such as Wireshark.
[1762] It collects basic information (MAC address, IP address, manufacturer name, etc.) from any new electronic devices it detects, using an ARP request and reply mechanism.
[1763] Matching the collected information with a database (e.g., MySQL) to identify the appropriate configuration profile.
[1764] The identified configuration profile is used to automatically apply network and security settings to the electronic device.
[1765] To check whether the settings have been applied correctly, perform a communication test using Ping or an HTTP request.
[1766] The test results are notified to the user's terminal.
[1767] Device roles and functions:
[1768] The device is mainly a smartphone or computer that the user has, and is used to check settings and receive notifications. It receives notifications from the server and displays them to the user.
[1769] Roles and Functions of the Emotion Engine:
[1770] The emotion engine is software that monitors and analyzes the user's operation status, facial expressions, voice, etc. Specifically, it performs the following processes:
[1771] The emotion engine processes data from the camera and microphone in real time and analyzes the user's emotions, for example using OpenCV and voice analysis models.
[1772] If the user is feeling stressed, the state is detected and notified to the server.
[1773] The server uses this information to optimize the content and timing of notifications.
[1774] User role:
[1775] A user is an individual who purchases a new electronic device and connects it to a home network. The system automatically applies the appropriate configuration profile, allowing the user to avoid tedious setup procedures. The emotion engine also reduces stress, allowing the user to enjoy a comfortable connection experience.
[1776] Examples:
[1777] A user purchases a new smart TV and attempts to connect it to their home Wi-Fi. When the smart TV is turned on, the server recognizes its presence and collects basic information such as its MAC address and manufacturer's name. Using the collected information, the server searches for a corresponding configuration profile in its database and applies the required network settings to the smart TV. It then performs a communication test to confirm that the connection is successful. Meanwhile, the emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice, and if the user is feeling stressed, it sends that information to the server. The server then uses this information to notify the user of appropriate guidance or support messages.

[1880] Software: Python, EmotionEngine library.
[1881] Specific examples
[1882] For example, when introducing a new robot, "Factory Robot X," to a factory, an operator puts on the smart glasses and sets up the new robot. When the robot attempts to connect to the network, the server automatically recognizes it and completes all the configuration. After the configuration is complete, if the emotion engine detects stress in the operator, it can provide detailed operating instructions.

[1885] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1886] Step 1:
[1887] Device Recognition:
[1888] When a user turns on a new electronic device, such as a robot, the device attempts to connect to the network. The server monitors these new connection requests and detects that the device has been connected to the network. The input is the device connection signal, and the output is device recognition.
[1889] Specific behavior:
[1890] The server monitors network traffic and detects new device connection requests by receiving signals from devices trying to connect to a home or factory Wi-Fi network, and the server analyzes the signals to recognize the device's presence.

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.
[1927] 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.
[1928] 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.
[1929] 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.
[1930] 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.
[1931] 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.
[1932] 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).
[1933] 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.
[1934] 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."
[1935] 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.
[1936] 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).
[1937] 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.
[1938] 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.
[1939] 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.
[1940] 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.
[1941] 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.
[1942] 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.
[1943] 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.
[1944] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[1945] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
