[0034] This invention is a system that allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, and automatically groups, organizes, and structures the memos and stores them in a database.Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.
[0035] System Overview
[0036] The system mainly consists of the following elements:
[0037] 1. Wearable devices: have the ability to acquire voice data.
[0038] 2. Speech recognition means: converts voice data into text data.
[0039] 3. Natural language processing tools: Analyze text data and extract keywords and important phrases.
[0040] 4. Grouping methods: Group notes based on keywords or phrases and organize them by theme.
[0041] 5. Database storage method: Organized notes are structured and stored in a database.
[0042] 6. Interactive AI means: Provide AI that allows users to retrieve information from a database and reflect on it in an interactive format.
[0043] Acquiring voice input and converting it to text
[0044] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0045] The device receives this voice data and converts it into text data by sending it to a voice recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based voice recognition service).
[0046] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[0047] The server receives the converted text data and analyzes it using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[0048] Keywords and important phrases such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are extracted from the analyzed text data.
[0049] The server automatically groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, grouping related notes together—for example, associating them with other notes that share the keywords "meeting" and "strategy."
[0050] Saving to a database
[0051] The server structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a personal database in a format such as JSON.
[0052] For example, notes can be categorized and saved as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0053] Dialogue with AI
[0054] Users use a smartphone or PC interface to send a request to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[0055] The server receives the user's request and retrieves the relevant information from a personal database.
[0056] A conversational AI solution uses this information to generate a natural language response and present it to the user, such as "There is a memo that says 'You need to speak at a meeting about a new marketing strategy' on October 5, 2023."
[0057] Specific examples
[0058] 1. Voice input example: "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0059] 2. Example of text conversion: A speech recognition tool converts the text into "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting."
[0060] 3. Example of analysis and grouping: The natural language processing means extracts the keywords "meeting" and "new marketing strategy," and the grouping means organizes them into the theme "marketing strategy."
[0061] 4. Example of saving to database: Save to database as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0062] 5. Example of an AI conversation: A user requests, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting about our marketing strategy," and the AI responds, "There's a note that says, 'We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in a meeting on October 5, 2023.'"
[0063] In this way, the present invention provides a system that consistently supports everything from taking voice memos using a wearable device to automatically organizing and saving those memos, and then reviewing them using AI.
[0064] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0065] Step 1:
[0066] Users enter voice notes into the wearable device, for example, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0067] Step 2:
[0068] The terminal receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer, where it is converted into a digital format.
[0069] Step 3:
[0070] The device sends the stored voice data to a speech recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based speech recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data, such as "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0071] Step 4:
[0072] The server receives the text data from the speech recognition API and analyzes it using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK). This involves grammatical and morphological analysis of the text data.
[0073] Step 5:
[0074] The server extracts keywords and important phrases from the analysis results, such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary."
[0075] Step 6:
[0076] The server groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, for example, grouping a note with the theme "marketing strategy" with other notes containing the keyword "meeting."
[0077] Step 7:
[0078] The server structures the organized notes. For example, it generates data in JSON format such as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0079] Step 8:
[0080] The server stores the structured data in a personal database, which allows notes to be organized by date and subject.
[0081] Step 9:
[0082] A user launches a conversational AI assistant application and sends a request to view past notes, for example, "Show me the notes from last week's marketing strategy meeting."
[0083] Step 10:
[0084] The server receives the user's request and searches the personal database for relevant notes, for example, using the search criteria "marketing strategy," "meeting," and "last week."
[0085] Step 11:
[0086] The server passes the search results to a conversational AI engine, which generates a natural-language response for the user, such as "There is a memo that says 'I need to speak at a meeting about a new marketing strategy' on October 5, 2023."
[0087] Step 12:
[0088] Users can receive responses from the AI, reflect on their own thoughts and learnings, and ask the AI for more detailed information if necessary.
[0089] As described above, this system provides consistent support from voice input to data organization, storage, and review.
[0090] Example 1
[0091] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0092] Conventional note-taking and management systems require users to manually input information, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, it is difficult to efficiently organize and manage notes, making it difficult to quickly search for and reference necessary information. This reduces user efficiency, especially in business and academic activities.
[0093] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0094] In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring voice data using a wearable device, speech recognition means for converting the voice data into text data, natural language processing means for analyzing the text data and extracting keywords and important phrases, grouping means for grouping and organizing notes by theme based on the extracted keywords and phrases, storage means for structuring the organized notes and storing them in a database, interactive artificial intelligence means for enabling a dialogue with a user based on the database, means for receiving a request from a user and searching past notes, and means for generating a response in natural language based on the search results and presenting it to the user. This allows a user to easily and quickly acquire notes through voice input and then efficiently organize and restore them.
[0095] A "wearable device" is a small electronic device that can be worn by a user and has the function of acquiring voice data.
[0096] "Speech recognition means" refers to a technique or device for converting voice data into text data.
[0097] "Natural language processing means" refers to technology or equipment for analyzing text data and extracting keywords and important phrases.
[0098] A "grouping means" is a technique or device for grouping notes based on extracted keywords or phrases and organizing them by theme.
[0099] "Storage means" is a technique or device for storing grouped and structured notes in a database.
[0100] A "database" is a collection of structured data that is organized and can be efficiently managed, searched, and referenced.
[0101] "Interactive artificial intelligence means" refers to an artificial intelligence technology or device that enables a natural language dialogue with a user and provides information based on the user's request.
[0102] A "request" is a request or command sent by a user to obtain some information.
[0103] A "retrieval means" is a technique or device for retrieving relevant data from a database based on a request.
[0104] The "means for generating a response" is a technology or device for generating a response to the user in natural language based on the search results.
[0105] This invention is a system that allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, and automatically groups, organizes, and structures the memos into a database. Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.
[0106] Acquiring voice input and converting it to text
[0107] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0108] The device receives this voice data and sends it in real time to a voice recognition API (e.g., Google (registered trademark) Cloud Speech-to-Text or Amazon Transcribe), which converts the voice data into text data.
[0109] The server receives the converted text data from the speech recognition API and uses it for subsequent processing.
[0110] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[0111] The server analyzes the converted text data using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[0112] Keywords and important phrases are extracted from the analysis results. At this stage, keywords such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are picked up.
[0113] The server automatically groups notes based on extracted keywords and phrases, organizing related notes by theme, for example, associating them with other notes that share the keywords "meeting" and "strategy."
[0114] Saving to a database
[0115] The server structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a database in a format such as JSON. Possible databases include MySQL (registered trademark) and MongoDB.
[0116] For example, notes can be categorized and saved as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0117] Dialogue with AI
[0118] The user uses an interface such as a smartphone or PC to send a request to view past notes, for example, by entering a prompt such as "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[0119] The server receives the user's request and retrieves relevant information from a personal database.
[0120] The conversational AI tool generates a response in natural language based on this information and presents it to the user, for example, "There is a memo that says 'You need to talk about the new marketing strategy at a meeting on October 5, 2023."
[0121] Specific use cases
[0122] 1. Voice input example:
[0123] The user utters, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0124] 2. Text example:
[0125] The speech recognition means converts this into text: "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0126] 3. Parsing and Grouping Examples:
[0127] The natural language processing means extracts the keywords "meeting" and "new marketing strategy," and the grouping means groups them together under the theme "marketing strategy."
[0128] 4. Example of saving to database:
[0129] Save this in the database as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0130] 5. Examples of AI dialogue:
[0131] The user requests, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting about our marketing strategy," and the AI responds, "There's a note that says, 'We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in a meeting on October 5, 2023.'"
[0132] In this way, the present invention provides a system that consistently supports everything from taking voice memos using a wearable device to automatically organizing and saving those memos, and then reviewing them using AI.
[0133] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0134] Step 1:
[0135] A user initiates a voice memo using a wearable device. The user dictates, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0136] Input: User's voice data
[0137] Output: Temporary audio data file on the device
[0138] What happens: The user presses a button on the wearable device or uses a voice command to initiate voice input.
[0139] Step 2:
[0140] The device sends voice data to the voice recognition API in real time and receives it as text data.
[0141] Input: Audio data file
[0142] Output: Recognized text data
[0143] Specific operation: The device sends voice data to a cloud-based speech recognition service and obtains text data in real time.
[0144] Step 3:

[0146] Input: Speech-recognized text data (e.g., "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting.")
[0147] Output: Keywords and key phrases (e.g., "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," "need")
[0148] Specific operation: The server analyzes the text data and automatically extracts keywords and important phrases.
[0149] Step 4:
[0150] The server automatically groups notes based on extracted keywords and phrases, consolidating related notes.
[0151] Input: Keywords and key phrases
[0152] Output: Grouped memo data
[0153] What it does: The server uses a clustering algorithm to organize related notes into themes.
[0154] Step 5:
[0155] The server structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a database.
[0156] Input: Grouped memo data
[0157] Output: Structured memo data stored in a database
[0158] Specific operation: The server structures the data in JSON format or similar and stores it in a database such as MySQL or MongoDB.
[0159] Step 6:
[0160] A user can use a smartphone or computer to send a request to view a specific note, for example, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[0161] Input: User request (prompt)
[0162] Output: Request data to the server
[0163] Specific Action: A user enters a request via voice or text to search for a specific note.
[0164] Step 7:
[0165] The server receives requests from users and retrieves relevant information from a personal database.
[0166] Input: User request (prompt)
[0167] Output: Search results
[0168] Specific behavior: The server queries the data in the database and retrieves the relevant note data.
[0169] Step 8:
[0170] The server uses conversational artificial intelligence means to generate a response in natural language based on the search results and present it to the user, for example, "There is a memo that says 'You need to talk about a new marketing strategy at a meeting' on October 5, 2023."
[0171] Input: Search results
[0172] Output: Response to the user
[0173] What it does: The server uses the generative AI model to generate a natural language response and sends it to the user's device.
[0174] In this way, users can conveniently and efficiently record information through voice memos and quickly obtain the information they need through interactive artificial intelligence.
[0175] (Application example 1)
[0176] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0177] Conventional security systems rely on paper or digital forms to record on-site situations, which often lacks immediacy and accuracy. It's also difficult to quickly organize the information acquired and use it as meaningful data. This leads to delays in emergency response and post-incident feedback, resulting in issues that reduce the efficiency and quality of security operations.
[0178] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0274] "Show me your notes about last night's surveillance."
[0275] "Any reports of unusual events this morning?"
[0276] 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.
[0277] This invention is a system that allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, automatically grouping, organizing themes, structuring the memos, and saving them in a database, and then adding emotional information using an emotion engine.Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.
[0278] System Overview
[0279] The system mainly consists of the following elements:
[0280] 1. Wearable devices: have the ability to acquire voice data.
[0281] 2. Speech recognition means: converts voice data into text data.
[0282] 3. Natural language processing tools: Analyze text data and extract keywords and important phrases.
[0283] 4. Grouping methods: Group notes based on keywords or phrases and organize them by theme.
[0284] 5. Database storage method: Organized notes are structured and stored in a database.
[0285] 6. Emotion engine: Analyzes emotions from voice data and adds that emotional information to text data.
[0286] 7. Interactive AI: Provides AI that allows users to retrieve information from a database and reflect on it interactively.
[0287] Acquisition of voice input, conversion to text, and sentiment analysis
[0288] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0289] The terminal receives this voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer.
[0290] The device sends the stored voice data to a voice recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based voice recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data.
[0291] The server receives the text data and uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions during voice input, adding emotional information (e.g., joy, sadness, anger) to the text data.
[0292] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[0293] The server analyzes using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[0294] Keywords and important phrases such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are extracted from the analyzed text data.
[0295] The server automatically groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, and aggregates related notes. Furthermore, emotional information is also added to the notes. For example, a note may be associated with other notes containing keywords like "meeting" or "strategy" and tagged as having a "positive emotion."
[0296] Saving to a database
[0297] The server then structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a personal database in a format such as JSON, along with emotional information.
[0298] For example, data such as "October 5, 2023," "Meeting notes on marketing strategy," and "Sentiment: Positive" is generated.
[0299] Dialogue with AI
[0300] Users use a smartphone, computer, or other interface to send a request to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[0301] The server receives the user's request and searches for relevant notes in the personal database, including emotional information.
[0302] Based on this information, the conversational AI generates a response in natural language that takes emotion into account and presents it to the user, for example, "There is a memo that says 'I need to talk about a new marketing strategy at a meeting' on October 5, 2023. This memo contains positive emotion."
[0303] Specific examples
[0304] 1. Voice input example: "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0305] 2. Example of text conversion and sentiment analysis: A speech recognition tool converts the text "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting" into text, and a sentiment engine adds the sentiment tag "positive."
[0306] 3. Example of analysis and grouping: The natural language processing means extracts the keywords "meeting" and "new marketing strategy," and the grouping means groups them into the theme "marketing strategy" and adds emotional information.
[0307] 4. Example of saving to database: Save to database as "October 5, 2023", "Meeting notes on marketing strategy", "Sentiment: Positive".
[0308] 5. Example of an AI conversation: A user requests, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting about our marketing strategy," and the AI responds, "There is a note that says, 'We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in a meeting on October 5, 2023.' This note has a positive sentiment."
[0309] In this way, the present invention provides a system that consistently supports everything from taking voice memos using a wearable device, to automatically organizing and saving those memos, adding emotional information, and even reviewing them using AI.
[0310] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0311] Step 1:
[0312] The user enters a voice note into the wearable device, for example, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0313] Step 2:
[0314] The terminal receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer, where it is converted into a digital format.
[0315] Step 3:
[0316] The device sends the stored voice data to a speech recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based speech recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data, which is output as an output such as, "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting."
[0317] Step 4:
[0318] The server receives text data from the speech recognition API. In parallel, it sends the voice data to the emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions. The results are combined with the text data and added as "emotion information (e.g., positive, negative)."
[0319] Step 5:
[0320] The server analyzes the text data using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK), which includes grammatical analysis, morphological analysis, and keyword extraction.
[0321] Step 6:
[0322] The server extracts keywords and important phrases from the analyzed text data, such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary." Furthermore, emotional information is also included in the text data. For example, "Keywords: meeting, marketing strategy" and "Emotional information: positive."
[0323] Step 7:
[0324] The server then groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases. For example, it could group notes with the theme "marketing strategy" with other notes containing the keyword "meeting." It also takes into account emotional information and tags them with "positive emotion."
[0325] Step 8:
[0326] The server stores structured memo data in a personal database, including date, theme, keywords, and sentiment information. For example, "October 5, 2023," "Meeting notes on marketing strategy," and "Sentiment: Positive."
[0327] Step 9:
[0328] Users can use their smartphones or computers to send requests to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[0329] Step 10:
[0330] The server receives the user's request and searches for the relevant notes in the personal database. The search criteria include not only keywords but also emotional information. For example, "Marketing Strategy," "Meeting," "Last Week," and "Emotion: Positive."
[0331] Step 11:
[0332] The server then passes the data to a conversational AI engine based on the search results, and responds to the user in natural language. For example, it provides results in the form of, "On October 5, 2023, it was noted that 'We need to talk about a new marketing strategy at a meeting.' This note contains positive sentiment."
[0333] Step 12:
[0334] Users can receive responses from the AI and reflect on their own thoughts and learnings. Based on the emotional information, users can review past notes while taking into account their own emotional state. They can also ask the AI for further information if they need more detailed information.
[0335] In this way, the system provides consistent support from voice input to organizing and saving data, adding emotional information, and reviewing it.
[0336] Example 2
[0337] 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."
[0338] In conventional note-taking systems, organizing and categorizing voice memos, as well as adding emotional information, is done manually, which requires time and effort from the user. Searching past notes is also inefficient, and it is particularly difficult to search and review them while taking emotional information into account. There is a need for a system that can solve these problems and manage voice memos efficiently and effectively.
[0339] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring voice data using a wearable device, voice recognition means for converting voice data into text data, natural language processing means for analyzing the text data and extracting keywords and important phrases, grouping means for grouping and organizing notes by theme based on the extracted keywords and phrases, database storage means for structuring the organized notes and storing them in a personal database, interactive AI means for enabling dialogue with the user based on the personal database, and emotion engine means for adding emotional information to the text data.

[0348] "Interactive AI means" refers to a processing means having artificial intelligence functions that enable dialogue with the user based on a personal database.
[0349] The "emotion engine means" is a processing means having a function of adding emotion information to text data.
[0350] "Emotional information" is digital data that indicates the user's emotional state (e.g., joy, sadness, anger) at the time of input.
[0351] A "data buffer" is a memory area for temporarily storing received audio data.
[0352] A "cloud-based speech recognition API" is a speech recognition service accessible via the internet and a programming interface that provides the functionality to convert speech data into text data.
[0353] "Analysis" is the process of understanding the meaning and structure of input data.
[0354] A "keyword" is a word or phrase that is considered to be particularly important in the text data.
[0355] This system allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, automatically grouping, organizing, and structuring the memos into a database, and then adding emotional information using an emotion engine. Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.

[0450] 5. Database storage method
[0451] The organized voice memos are stored in a personal database in formats such as JSON, which ensures data integrity and efficient searching.
[0452] 6. Emotion Engine
[0453] Emotional information is added to the voice memo. Using an emotion engine, emotions such as joy, sadness, and anger are analyzed from the user's voice and tagged.
[0454] 7. Conversational AI methods
[0455] Users can use an in-car display or smartphone to send a request to view past notes, and a conversational AI mechanism responds, searching the database for the relevant note and generating a response in natural language.
[0456] Specific examples of processing
[0457] Voice input example
[0458] While driving, the user uses the wearable device to input a memo by voice, saying, "There was just a sudden cut-in 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan." This voice data is received in real time and converted by a voice recognition means into text data, saying, "There was just a sudden cut-in 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan."
[0459] Text analysis examples
[0460] Through analysis, the keywords "ahead," "cutting in," and "red sedan" are extracted, and these are organized using a grouping method. Furthermore, the emotion engine adds the emotional information of "anger."
[0461] Data storage and AI response examples
[0462] The date is saved in the personal database as "October 5, 2023," "Sudden cut-in," and "Emotion: Anger." Later, when the user requests, "Tell me what happened while you were driving today," the conversational AI means responds, "There is a note that says, 'On October 5, 2023, there was a sudden cut-in 100 meters ahead. The vehicle was a red sedan.' The emotion was anger."
[0463] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0464] Examples of prompts based on input voice data include:
[0465] "There was just a sudden cut-off about 100 meters ahead of me. The vehicle was a red sedan."
[0466] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0467] Step 1: The user uses the microphone on the wearable device to input a voice memo. For example, they might say, "There was a sudden cut-off 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan." This input is captured by the wearable device and sent to the terminal.
[0468] Step 2: The device receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer. It then sends the voice data to a cloud-based speech recognition API, which converts the voice data into text data. The output is the text data, "There was a sudden cut-off just now, 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan."
[0469] Step 3: The server passes the received text data to a natural language processing tool (e.g., spaCy or NLTK) to extract keywords and important phrases. The input is text data, and the output is the main keywords and phrases, such as "ahead," "cut in," and "red sedan."
[0470] Step 4: The server groups the voice memos based on the extracted keywords and phrases. The data is organized by theme. For example, memos containing the keywords "ahead," "cutting in," and "red sedan" are grouped under "unexpected incidents while driving."
[0471] Step 5: The server applies an emotion engine to the grouped data to analyze the user's emotion at the time of voice input. The input is text data, and an emotion tag (e.g., "anger") is added as the output.
[0472] Step 6: The server saves the notes with emotion information in a personal database as structured data (e.g., JSON format). The input is the organized and grouped note data, and the output is saved in the database.
[0473] Step 7: The user sends a request to view past notes from their smartphone or in-car display. For example, they might type, "Tell me what happened while driving today." This input is sent to the server.
[0474] Step 8: The server searches the personal database for the relevant note and generates a natural language response based on the search results. The input is the user's request, and the output is a response such as "There is a note that says 'There was a sudden cut-off 100 meters ahead. The vehicle was a red sedan' on October 5, 2023. The emotion is anger."
[0475] Step 9: The generated natural language response is sent to a display device in the car or to the user's smartphone, where the user can review the information. The output can be a visual display or a text message.
[0476] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing.

[0492] This invention is a system that allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, and automatically groups, organizes, and structures the memos and stores them in a database.Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.
[0493] System Overview
[0494] The system mainly consists of the following elements:
[0495] 1. Wearable devices: have the ability to acquire voice data.
[0496] 2. Speech recognition means: converts voice data into text data.
[0497] 3. Natural language processing tools: Analyze text data and extract keywords and important phrases.
[0498] 4. Grouping methods: Group notes based on keywords or phrases and organize them by theme.
[0499] 5. Database storage method: Organized notes are structured and stored in a database.
[0500] 6. Interactive AI means: Provide AI that allows users to retrieve information from a database and reflect on it in an interactive format.
[0501] Acquiring voice input and converting it to text
[0502] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0503] The device receives this voice data and converts it into text data by sending it to a voice recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based voice recognition service).
[0504] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[0505] The server receives the converted text data and analyzes it using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[0506] Keywords and important phrases such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are extracted from the analyzed text data.
[0507] The server automatically groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, grouping related notes together—for example, associating them with other notes that share the keywords "meeting" and "strategy."
[0508] Saving to a database
[0509] The server structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a personal database in a format such as JSON.
[0510] For example, notes can be categorized and saved as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0511] Dialogue with AI
[0512] Users use a smartphone or PC interface to send a request to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[0513] The server receives the user's request and retrieves the relevant information from a personal database.
[0514] A conversational AI solution uses this information to generate a natural language response and present it to the user, such as "There is a memo that says 'You need to speak at a meeting about a new marketing strategy' on October 5, 2023."
[0515] Specific examples
[0516] 1. Voice input example: "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0517] 2. Example of text conversion: A speech recognition tool converts the text into "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting."
[0518] 3. Example of analysis and grouping: The natural language processing means extracts the keywords "meeting" and "new marketing strategy," and the grouping means organizes them into the theme "marketing strategy."
[0519] 4. Example of saving to database: Save to database as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0520] 5. Example of an AI conversation: A user requests, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting about our marketing strategy," and the AI responds, "There's a note that says, 'We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in a meeting on October 5, 2023.'"
[0521] In this way, the present invention provides a system that consistently supports everything from taking voice memos using a wearable device to automatically organizing and saving those memos, and then reviewing them using AI.
[0522] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0523] Step 1:
[0524] Users enter voice notes into the wearable device, for example, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0525] Step 2:
[0526] The terminal receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer, where it is converted into a digital format.
[0527] Step 3:
[0528] The device sends the stored voice data to a speech recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based speech recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data, such as "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0529] Step 4:
[0530] The server receives the text data from the speech recognition API and analyzes it using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK). This involves grammatical and morphological analysis of the text data.
[0531] Step 5:
[0532] The server extracts keywords and important phrases from the analysis results, such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary."
[0533] Step 6:
[0534] The server groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, for example, grouping a note with the theme "marketing strategy" with other notes containing the keyword "meeting."
[0535] Step 7:
[0536] The server structures the organized notes. For example, it generates data in JSON format such as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0537] Step 8:
[0538] The server stores the structured data in a personal database, which allows notes to be organized by date and subject.
[0539] Step 9:
[0540] A user launches a conversational AI assistant application and sends a request to view past notes, for example, "Show me the notes from last week's marketing strategy meeting."
[0541] Step 10:
[0542] The server receives the user's request and searches the personal database for relevant notes, for example, using the search criteria "marketing strategy," "meeting," and "last week."
[0543] Step 11:
[0544] The server passes the search results to a conversational AI engine, which generates a natural-language response for the user, such as "There is a memo that says 'I need to speak at a meeting about a new marketing strategy' on October 5, 2023."
[0545] Step 12:
[0546] Users can receive responses from the AI, reflect on their own thoughts and learnings, and ask the AI for more detailed information if necessary.
[0547] As described above, this system provides consistent support from voice input to data organization, storage, and review.

[0562] The "means for generating a response" is a technology or device for generating a response to the user in natural language based on the search results.
[0563] This invention is a system that allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, and automatically groups, organizes, and structures the memos into a database. Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.
[0564] Acquiring voice input and converting it to text
[0565] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0566] The device receives this voice data and sends it in real time to a speech recognition API (e.g., Google Cloud Speech-to-Text or Amazon Transcribe), which converts the voice data into text data.
[0567] The server receives the converted text data from the speech recognition API and uses it for subsequent processing.
[0568] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[0569] The server analyzes the converted text data using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[0570] Keywords and important phrases are extracted from the analysis results. At this stage, keywords such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are picked up.
[0571] The server automatically groups notes based on extracted keywords and phrases, organizing related notes by theme, for example, associating them with other notes that share the keywords "meeting" and "strategy."
[0572] Saving to a database
[0573] The server structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a database in a format such as JSON, possibly using a database such as MySQL or MongoDB.
[0574] For example, notes can be categorized and saved as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0575] Dialogue with AI
[0576] The user uses an interface such as a smartphone or PC to send a request to view past notes, for example, by entering a prompt such as "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[0577] The server receives the user's request and retrieves relevant information from a personal database.
[0578] The conversational AI tool generates a response in natural language based on this information and presents it to the user, for example, "There is a memo that says 'You need to talk about the new marketing strategy at a meeting on October 5, 2023."
[0579] Specific use cases
[0580] 1. Voice input example:
[0581] The user utters, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0582] 2. Text example:
[0583] The speech recognition means converts this into text: "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0584] 3. Parsing and Grouping Examples:

[0734] 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.
[0735] This invention is a system that allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, automatically grouping, organizing themes, structuring the memos, and saving them in a database, and then adding emotional information using an emotion engine.Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.
[0736] System Overview
[0737] The system mainly consists of the following elements:
[0738] 1. Wearable devices: have the ability to acquire voice data.
[0739] 2. Speech recognition means: converts voice data into text data.
[0740] 3. Natural language processing tools: Analyze text data and extract keywords and important phrases.
[0741] 4. Grouping methods: Group notes based on keywords or phrases and organize them by theme.
[0742] 5. Database storage method: Organized notes are structured and stored in a database.
[0743] 6. Emotion engine: Analyzes emotions from voice data and adds that emotional information to text data.
[0744] 7. Interactive AI: Provides AI that allows users to retrieve information from a database and reflect on it interactively.
[0745] Acquisition of voice input, conversion to text, and sentiment analysis
[0746] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0747] The terminal receives this voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer.
[0748] The device sends the stored voice data to a voice recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based voice recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data.
[0749] The server receives the text data and uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions during voice input, adding emotional information (e.g., joy, sadness, anger) to the text data.
[0750] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[0751] The server analyzes using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[0752] Keywords and important phrases such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are extracted from the analyzed text data.
[0753] The server automatically groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, and aggregates related notes. Furthermore, emotional information is also added to the notes. For example, a note may be associated with other notes containing keywords like "meeting" or "strategy" and tagged as having a "positive emotion."
[0754] Saving to a database
[0755] The server then structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a personal database in a format such as JSON, along with emotional information.
[0756] For example, data such as "October 5, 2023," "Meeting notes on marketing strategy," and "Sentiment: Positive" is generated.
[0757] Dialogue with AI
[0758] Users use a smartphone, computer, or other interface to send a request to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[0759] The server receives the user's request and searches for relevant notes in the personal database, including emotional information.
[0760] Based on this information, the conversational AI generates a response in natural language that takes emotion into account and presents it to the user, for example, "There is a memo that says 'I need to talk about a new marketing strategy at a meeting' on October 5, 2023. This memo contains positive emotion."
[0761] Specific examples
[0762] 1. Voice input example: "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0763] 2. Example of text conversion and sentiment analysis: A speech recognition tool converts the text "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting" into text, and a sentiment engine adds the sentiment tag "positive."
[0764] 3. Example of analysis and grouping: The natural language processing means extracts the keywords "meeting" and "new marketing strategy," and the grouping means groups them into the theme "marketing strategy" and adds emotional information.
[0765] 4. Example of saving to database: Save to database as "October 5, 2023", "Meeting notes on marketing strategy", "Sentiment: Positive".
[0766] 5. Example of an AI conversation: A user requests, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting about our marketing strategy," and the AI responds, "There is a note that says, 'We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in a meeting on October 5, 2023.' This note has a positive sentiment."
[0767] In this way, the present invention provides a system that consistently supports everything from taking voice memos using a wearable device, to automatically organizing and saving those memos, adding emotional information, and even reviewing them using AI.
[0768] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0769] Step 1:
[0770] The user enters a voice note into the wearable device, for example, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0771] Step 2:
[0772] The terminal receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer, where it is converted into a digital format.
[0773] Step 3:
[0774] The device sends the stored voice data to a speech recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based speech recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data, which is output as an output such as, "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting."
[0775] Step 4:
[0776] The server receives text data from the speech recognition API. In parallel, it sends the voice data to the emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions. The results are combined with the text data and added as "emotion information (e.g., positive, negative)."
[0777] Step 5:
[0778] The server analyzes the text data using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK), which includes grammatical analysis, morphological analysis, and keyword extraction.
[0779] Step 6:
[0780] The server extracts keywords and important phrases from the analyzed text data, such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary." Furthermore, emotional information is also included in the text data. For example, "Keywords: meeting, marketing strategy" and "Emotional information: positive."
[0781] Step 7:
[0782] The server then groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases. For example, it could group notes with the theme "marketing strategy" with other notes containing the keyword "meeting." It also takes into account emotional information and tags them with "positive emotion."
[0783] Step 8:
[0784] The server stores structured memo data in a personal database, including date, theme, keywords, and sentiment information. For example, "October 5, 2023," "Meeting notes on marketing strategy," and "Sentiment: Positive."
[0785] Step 9:
[0786] Users can use their smartphones or computers to send requests to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[0787] Step 10:
[0788] The server receives the user's request and searches for the relevant notes in the personal database. The search criteria include not only keywords but also emotional information. For example, "Marketing Strategy," "Meeting," "Last Week," and "Emotion: Positive."
[0789] Step 11:
[0790] The server then passes the data to a conversational AI engine based on the search results, and responds to the user in natural language. For example, it provides results in the form of, "On October 5, 2023, it was noted that 'We need to talk about a new marketing strategy at a meeting.' This note contains positive sentiment."
[0791] Step 12:
[0792] Users can receive responses from the AI and reflect on their own thoughts and learnings. Based on the emotional information, users can review past notes while taking into account their own emotional state. They can also ask the AI for further information if they need more detailed information.
[0793] In this way, the system provides consistent support from voice input to organizing and saving data, adding emotional information, and reviewing it.
[0794] Example 2
[0795] 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."
[0796] In conventional note-taking systems, organizing and categorizing voice memos, as well as adding emotional information, is done manually, which requires time and effort from the user. Searching past notes is also inefficient, and it is particularly difficult to search and review them while taking emotional information into account. There is a need for a system that can solve these problems and manage voice memos efficiently and effectively.
[0797] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring voice data using a wearable device, voice recognition means for converting voice data into text data, natural language processing means for analyzing the text data and extracting keywords and important phrases, grouping means for grouping and organizing notes by theme based on the extracted keywords and phrases, database storage means for structuring the organized notes and storing them in a personal database, interactive AI means for enabling dialogue with the user based on the personal database, and emotion engine means for adding emotional information to the text data. This enables automatic acquisition, organization, and addition of emotional information to voice memos, as well as effective search and review.

[0806] "Interactive AI means" refers to a processing means having artificial intelligence functions that enable dialogue with the user based on a personal database.
[0807] The "emotion engine means" is a processing means having a function of adding emotion information to text data.
[0808] "Emotional information" is digital data that indicates the user's emotional state (e.g., joy, sadness, anger) at the time of input.
[0809] A "data buffer" is a memory area for temporarily storing received audio data.
[0810] A "cloud-based speech recognition API" is a speech recognition service accessible via the internet and a programming interface that provides the functionality to convert speech data into text data.
[0811] "Analysis" is the process of understanding the meaning and structure of input data.
[0812] A "keyword" is a word or phrase that is considered to be particularly important in the text data.
[0813] This system allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, automatically grouping, organizing, and structuring the memos into a database, and then adding emotional information using an emotion engine. Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.

Later, when the user requests, "Tell me what happened while you were driving today," the conversational AI means responds, "There is a note that says, 'On October 5, 2023, there was a sudden cut-in 100 meters ahead. The vehicle was a red sedan.' The emotion was anger."
[0921] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0922] Examples of prompts based on input voice data include:
[0923] "There was just a sudden cut-off about 100 meters ahead of me. The vehicle was a red sedan."
[0924] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0925] Step 1: The user uses the microphone on the wearable device to input a voice memo. For example, they might say, "There was a sudden cut-off 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan." This input is captured by the wearable device and sent to the terminal.
[0926] Step 2: The device receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer. It then sends the voice data to a cloud-based speech recognition API, which converts the voice data into text data. The output is the text data, "There was a sudden cut-off just now, 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan."
[0927] Step 3: The server passes the received text data to a natural language processing tool (e.g., spaCy or NLTK) to extract keywords and important phrases. The input is text data, and the output is the main keywords and phrases, such as "ahead," "cut in," and "red sedan."
[0928] Step 4: The server groups the voice memos based on the extracted keywords and phrases. The data is organized by theme. For example, memos containing the keywords "ahead," "cutting in," and "red sedan" are grouped under "unexpected incidents while driving."
[0929] Step 5: The server applies an emotion engine to the grouped data to analyze the user's emotion at the time of voice input. The input is text data, and an emotion tag (e.g., "anger") is added as the output.
[0930] Step 6: The server saves the notes with emotion information in a personal database as structured data (e.g., JSON format). The input is the organized and grouped note data, and the output is saved in the database.
[0931] Step 7: The user sends a request to view past notes from their smartphone or in-car display. For example, they might type, "Tell me what happened while driving today." This input is sent to the server.
[0932] Step 8: The server searches the personal database for the relevant note and generates a natural language response based on the search results. The input is the user's request, and the output is a response such as "There is a note that says 'There was a sudden cut-off 100 meters ahead. The vehicle was a red sedan' on October 5, 2023. The emotion is anger."
[0933] Step 9: The generated natural language response is sent to a display device in the car or to the user's smartphone, where the user can review the information. The output can be a visual display or a text message.
[0934] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214.

[0951] System Overview
[0952] The system mainly consists of the following elements:
[0953] 1. Wearable devices: have the ability to acquire voice data.
[0954] 2. Speech recognition means: converts voice data into text data.
[0955] 3. Natural language processing tools: Analyze text data and extract keywords and important phrases.
[0956] 4. Grouping methods: Group notes based on keywords or phrases and organize them by theme.
[0957] 5. Database storage method: Organized notes are structured and stored in a database.
[0958] 6. Interactive AI means: Provide AI that allows users to retrieve information from a database and reflect on it in an interactive format.
[0959] Acquiring voice input and converting it to text
[0960] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0961] The device receives this voice data and converts it into text data by sending it to a voice recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based voice recognition service).
[0962] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[0963] The server receives the converted text data and analyzes it using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[0964] Keywords and important phrases such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are extracted from the analyzed text data.
[0965] The server automatically groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, grouping related notes together—for example, associating them with other notes that share the keywords "meeting" and "strategy."
[0966] Saving to a database
[0967] The server structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a personal database in a format such as JSON.
[0968] For example, notes can be categorized and saved as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0969] Dialogue with AI
[0970] Users use a smartphone or PC interface to send a request to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[0971] The server receives the user's request and retrieves the relevant information from a personal database.
[0972] A conversational AI solution uses this information to generate a natural language response and present it to the user, such as "There is a memo that says 'You need to speak at a meeting about a new marketing strategy' on October 5, 2023."
[0973] Specific examples
[0974] 1. Voice input example: "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0975] 2. Example of text conversion: A speech recognition tool converts the text into "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting."
[0976] 3. Example of analysis and grouping: The natural language processing means extracts the keywords "meeting" and "new marketing strategy," and the grouping means organizes them into the theme "marketing strategy."
[0977] 4. Example of saving to database: Save to database as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0978] 5. Example of an AI conversation: A user requests, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting about our marketing strategy," and the AI responds, "There's a note that says, 'We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in a meeting on October 5, 2023.'"
[0979] In this way, the present invention provides a system that consistently supports everything from taking voice memos using a wearable device to automatically organizing and saving those memos, and then reviewing them using AI.
[0980] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0981] Step 1:
[0982] Users enter voice notes into the wearable device, for example, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0983] Step 2:
[0984] The terminal receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer, where it is converted into a digital format.
[0985] Step 3:
[0986] The device sends the stored voice data to a speech recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based speech recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data, such as "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[0987] Step 4:
[0988] The server receives the text data from the speech recognition API and analyzes it using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK). This involves grammatical and morphological analysis of the text data.
[0989] Step 5:
[0990] The server extracts keywords and important phrases from the analysis results, such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary."
[0991] Step 6:
[0992] The server groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, for example, grouping a note with the theme "marketing strategy" with other notes containing the keyword "meeting."
[0993] Step 7:
[0994] The server structures the organized notes. For example, it generates data in JSON format such as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[0995] Step 8:
[0996] The server stores the structured data in a personal database, which allows notes to be organized by date and subject.
[0997] Step 9:
[0998] A user launches a conversational AI assistant application and sends a request to view past notes, for example, "Show me the notes from last week's marketing strategy meeting."
[0999] Step 10:
[1000] The server receives the user's request and searches the personal database for relevant notes, for example, using the search criteria "marketing strategy," "meeting," and "last week."
[1001] Step 11:
[1002] The server passes the search results to a conversational AI engine, which generates a natural-language response for the user, such as "There is a memo that says 'I need to speak at a meeting about a new marketing strategy' on October 5, 2023."
[1003] Step 12:
[1004] Users can receive responses from the AI, reflect on their own thoughts and learnings, and ask the AI for more detailed information if necessary.
[1005] As described above, this system provides consistent support from voice input to data organization, storage, and review.

[1021] This invention is a system that allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, and automatically groups, organizes, and structures the memos into a database. Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.
[1022] Acquiring voice input and converting it to text
[1023] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1024] The device receives this voice data and sends it in real time to a speech recognition API (e.g., Google Cloud Speech-to-Text or Amazon Transcribe), which converts the voice data into text data.
[1025] The server receives the converted text data from the speech recognition API and uses it for subsequent processing.
[1026] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[1027] The server analyzes the converted text data using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[1028] Keywords and important phrases are extracted from the analysis results. At this stage, keywords such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are picked up.
[1029] The server automatically groups notes based on extracted keywords and phrases, organizing related notes by theme, for example, associating them with other notes that share the keywords "meeting" and "strategy."
[1030] Saving to a database
[1031] The server structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a database in a format such as JSON, possibly using a database such as MySQL or MongoDB.
[1032] For example, notes can be categorized and saved as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[1033] Dialogue with AI

[1172] Input: User request
[1173] Output: Request to server
[1174] What happens: A user sends a request to a server through their device.
[1175] Step 7:
[1176] Data retrieval and response generation
[1177] Based on the user's request, the server searches for relevant information from a personal database and uses a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-3) to generate a response in natural language and present it to the user.
[1178] Input: User request
[1179] Output: Natural language response
[1180] What it does: The server searches for relevant information from a personal database, uses a generative AI model to generate a natural language response, and sends it back to the user.
[1181] Examples of specific examples and prompts
[1182] Specific examples
[1183] User voice input: The user voice inputs, "We have spotted a suspicious person at the south gate."
[1184] Example of text conversion: The speech recognition means converts the text into "We have spotted a suspicious person at the south gate."

[1189] "Please tell me the report about the suspicious person spotted at the south gate yesterday."
[1190] "Show me your notes about last night's surveillance."
[1191] "Any reports of unusual events this morning?"
[1192] 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.
[1193] This invention is a system that allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, automatically grouping, organizing themes, structuring the memos, and saving them in a database, and then adding emotional information using an emotion engine.Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.
[1194] System Overview
[1195] The system mainly consists of the following elements:
[1196] 1. Wearable devices: have the ability to acquire voice data.
[1197] 2. Speech recognition means: converts voice data into text data.
[1198] 3. Natural language processing tools: Analyze text data and extract keywords and important phrases.
[1199] 4. Grouping methods: Group notes based on keywords or phrases and organize them by theme.
[1200] 5. Database storage method: Organized notes are structured and stored in a database.
[1201] 6. Emotion engine: Analyzes emotions from voice data and adds that emotional information to text data.
[1202] 7. Interactive AI: Provides AI that allows users to retrieve information from a database and reflect on it interactively.
[1203] Acquisition of voice input, conversion to text, and sentiment analysis
[1204] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1205] The terminal receives this voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer.
[1206] The device sends the stored voice data to a voice recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based voice recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data.
[1207] The server receives the text data and uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions during voice input, adding emotional information (e.g., joy, sadness, anger) to the text data.
[1208] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[1209] The server analyzes using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[1210] Keywords and important phrases such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are extracted from the analyzed text data.
[1211] The server automatically groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, and aggregates related notes. Furthermore, emotional information is also added to the notes. For example, a note may be associated with other notes containing keywords like "meeting" or "strategy" and tagged as having a "positive emotion."
[1212] Saving to a database
[1213] The server then structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a personal database in a format such as JSON, along with emotional information.
[1214] For example, data such as "October 5, 2023," "Meeting notes on marketing strategy," and "Sentiment: Positive" is generated.
[1215] Dialogue with AI
[1216] Users use a smartphone, computer, or other interface to send a request to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[1217] The server receives the user's request and searches for relevant notes in the personal database, including emotional information.
[1218] Based on this information, the conversational AI generates a response in natural language that takes emotion into account and presents it to the user, for example, "There is a memo that says 'I need to talk about a new marketing strategy at a meeting' on October 5, 2023. This memo contains positive emotion."
[1219] Specific examples
[1220] 1. Voice input example: "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1221] 2. Example of text conversion and sentiment analysis: A speech recognition tool converts the text "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting" into text, and a sentiment engine adds the sentiment tag "positive."
[1222] 3. Example of analysis and grouping: The natural language processing means extracts the keywords "meeting" and "new marketing strategy," and the grouping means groups them into the theme "marketing strategy" and adds emotional information.
[1223] 4. Example of saving to database: Save to database as "October 5, 2023", "Meeting notes on marketing strategy", "Sentiment: Positive".
[1224] 5. Example of an AI conversation: A user requests, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting about our marketing strategy," and the AI responds, "There is a note that says, 'We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in a meeting on October 5, 2023.' This note has a positive sentiment."
[1225] In this way, the present invention provides a system that consistently supports everything from taking voice memos using a wearable device, to automatically organizing and saving those memos, adding emotional information, and even reviewing them using AI.
[1226] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1227] Step 1:
[1228] The user enters a voice note into the wearable device, for example, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1229] Step 2:
[1230] The terminal receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer, where it is converted into a digital format.
[1231] Step 3:
[1232] The device sends the stored voice data to a speech recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based speech recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data, which is output as an output such as, "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting."
[1233] Step 4:
[1234] The server receives text data from the speech recognition API. In parallel, it sends the voice data to the emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions. The results are combined with the text data and added as "emotion information (e.g., positive, negative)."
[1235] Step 5:
[1236] The server analyzes the text data using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK), which includes grammatical analysis, morphological analysis, and keyword extraction.
[1237] Step 6:
[1238] The server extracts keywords and important phrases from the analyzed text data, such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary." Furthermore, emotional information is also included in the text data. For example, "Keywords: meeting, marketing strategy" and "Emotional information: positive."
[1239] Step 7:
[1240] The server then groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases. For example, it could group notes with the theme "marketing strategy" with other notes containing the keyword "meeting." It also takes into account emotional information and tags them with "positive emotion."
[1241] Step 8:
[1242] The server stores structured memo data in a personal database, including date, theme, keywords, and sentiment information. For example, "October 5, 2023," "Meeting notes on marketing strategy," and "Sentiment: Positive."
[1243] Step 9:
[1244] Users can use their smartphones or computers to send requests to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[1245] Step 10:
[1246] The server receives the user's request and searches for the relevant notes in the personal database. The search criteria include not only keywords but also emotional information. For example, "Marketing Strategy," "Meeting," "Last Week," and "Emotion: Positive."
[1247] Step 11:
[1248] The server then passes the data to a conversational AI engine based on the search results, and responds to the user in natural language. For example, it provides results in the form of, "On October 5, 2023, it was noted that 'We need to talk about a new marketing strategy at a meeting.' This note contains positive sentiment."
[1249] Step 12:
[1250] Users can receive responses from the AI and reflect on their own thoughts and learnings. Based on the emotional information, users can review past notes while taking into account their own emotional state. They can also ask the AI for further information if they need more detailed information.
[1251] In this way, the system provides consistent support from voice input to organizing and saving data, adding emotional information, and reviewing it.
[1252] Example 2
[1253] 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."
[1254] In conventional note-taking systems, organizing and categorizing voice memos, as well as adding emotional information, is done manually, which requires time and effort from the user. Searching past notes is also inefficient, and it is particularly difficult to search and review them while taking emotional information into account. There is a need for a system that can solve these problems and manage voice memos efficiently and effectively.
[1255] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for acquiring voice data using a wearable device, voice recognition means for converting voice data into text data, natural language processing means for analyzing the text data and extracting keywords and important phrases, grouping means for grouping and organizing notes by theme based on the extracted keywords and phrases, database storage means for structuring the organized notes and storing them in a personal database, interactive AI means for enabling dialogue with the user based on the personal database, and emotion engine means for adding emotional information to the text data.

[1264] "Interactive AI means" refers to a processing means having artificial intelligence functions that enable dialogue with the user based on a personal database.
[1265] The "emotion engine means" is a processing means having a function of adding emotion information to text data.
[1266] "Emotional information" is digital data that indicates the user's emotional state (e.g., joy, sadness, anger) at the time of input.
[1267] A "data buffer" is a memory area for temporarily storing received audio data.
[1268] A "cloud-based speech recognition API" is a speech recognition service accessible via the internet and a programming interface that provides the functionality to convert speech data into text data.
[1269] "Analysis" is the process of understanding the meaning and structure of input data.
[1270] A "keyword" is a word or phrase that is considered to be particularly important in the text data.
[1271] This system allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, automatically grouping, organizing, and structuring the memos into a database, and then adding emotional information using an emotion engine. Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.

[1367] The organized voice memos are stored in a personal database in formats such as JSON, which ensures data integrity and efficient searching.
[1368] 6. Emotion Engine
[1369] Emotional information is added to the voice memo. Using an emotion engine, emotions such as joy, sadness, and anger are analyzed from the user's voice and tagged.
[1370] 7. Conversational AI methods
[1371] Users can use an in-car display or smartphone to send a request to view past notes, and a conversational AI mechanism responds, searching the database for the relevant note and generating a response in natural language.
[1372] Specific examples of processing
[1373] Voice input example
[1374] While driving, the user uses the wearable device to input a memo by voice, saying, "There was just a sudden cut-in 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan." This voice data is received in real time and converted by a voice recognition means into text data, saying, "There was just a sudden cut-in 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan."
[1375] Text analysis examples
[1376] Through analysis, the keywords "ahead," "cutting in," and "red sedan" are extracted, and these are organized using a grouping method. Furthermore, the emotion engine adds the emotional information of "anger."
[1377] Data storage and AI response examples
[1378] The date is saved in the personal database as "October 5, 2023," "Sudden cut-in," and "Emotion: Anger." Later, when the user requests, "Tell me what happened while you were driving today," the conversational AI means responds, "There is a note that says, 'On October 5, 2023, there was a sudden cut-in 100 meters ahead. The vehicle was a red sedan.' The emotion was anger."
[1379] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1380] Examples of prompts based on input voice data include:
[1381] "There was just a sudden cut-off about 100 meters ahead of me. The vehicle was a red sedan."
[1382] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1383] Step 1: The user uses the microphone on the wearable device to input a voice memo. For example, they might say, "There was a sudden cut-off 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan." This input is captured by the wearable device and sent to the terminal.
[1384] Step 2: The device receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer. It then sends the voice data to a cloud-based speech recognition API, which converts the voice data into text data. The output is the text data, "There was a sudden cut-off just now, 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan."
[1385] Step 3: The server passes the received text data to a natural language processing tool (e.g., spaCy or NLTK) to extract keywords and important phrases. The input is text data, and the output is the main keywords and phrases, such as "ahead," "cut in," and "red sedan."
[1386] Step 4: The server groups the voice memos based on the extracted keywords and phrases. The data is organized by theme. For example, memos containing the keywords "ahead," "cutting in," and "red sedan" are grouped under "unexpected incidents while driving."
[1387] Step 5: The server applies an emotion engine to the grouped data to analyze the user's emotion at the time of voice input. The input is text data, and an emotion tag (e.g., "anger") is added as the output.
[1388] Step 6: The server saves the notes with emotion information in a personal database as structured data (e.g., JSON format). The input is the organized and grouped note data, and the output is saved in the database.
[1389] Step 7: The user sends a request to view past notes from their smartphone or in-car display. For example, they might type, "Tell me what happened while driving today." This input is sent to the server.
[1390] Step 8: The server searches the personal database for the relevant note and generates a natural language response based on the search results. The input is the user's request, and the output is a response such as "There is a note that says 'There was a sudden cut-off 100 meters ahead. The vehicle was a red sedan' on October 5, 2023. The emotion is anger."
[1391] Step 9: The generated natural language response is sent to a display device in the car or to the user's smartphone, where the user can review the information. The output can be a visual display or a text message.
[1392] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1393] 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.
[1394] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the headset type terminal 314.

[1409] This invention is a system that allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, and automatically groups, organizes, and structures the memos and stores them in a database.Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.
[1410] System Overview
[1411] The system mainly consists of the following elements:
[1412] 1. Wearable devices: have the ability to acquire voice data.
[1413] 2. Speech recognition means: converts voice data into text data.
[1414] 3. Natural language processing tools: Analyze text data and extract keywords and important phrases.
[1415] 4. Grouping methods: Group notes based on keywords or phrases and organize them by theme.
[1416] 5. Database storage method: Organized notes are structured and stored in a database.
[1417] 6. Interactive AI means: Provide AI that allows users to retrieve information from a database and reflect on it in an interactive format.
[1418] Acquiring voice input and converting it to text
[1419] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1420] The device receives this voice data and converts it into text data by sending it to a voice recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based voice recognition service).
[1421] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[1422] The server receives the converted text data and analyzes it using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[1423] Keywords and important phrases such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are extracted from the analyzed text data.
[1424] The server automatically groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, grouping related notes together—for example, associating them with other notes that share the keywords "meeting" and "strategy."
[1425] Saving to a database
[1426] The server structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a personal database in a format such as JSON.
[1427] For example, notes can be categorized and saved as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[1428] Dialogue with AI
[1429] Users use a smartphone or PC interface to send a request to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[1430] The server receives the user's request and retrieves the relevant information from a personal database.
[1431] A conversational AI solution uses this information to generate a natural language response and present it to the user, such as "There is a memo that says 'You need to speak at a meeting about a new marketing strategy' on October 5, 2023."
[1432] Specific examples
[1433] 1. Voice input example: "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1434] 2. Example of text conversion: A speech recognition tool converts the text into "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting."
[1435] 3. Example of analysis and grouping: The natural language processing means extracts the keywords "meeting" and "new marketing strategy," and the grouping means organizes them into the theme "marketing strategy."
[1436] 4. Example of saving to database: Save to database as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[1437] 5. Example of an AI conversation: A user requests, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting about our marketing strategy," and the AI responds, "There's a note that says, 'We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in a meeting on October 5, 2023.'"
[1438] In this way, the present invention provides a system that consistently supports everything from taking voice memos using a wearable device to automatically organizing and saving those memos, and then reviewing them using AI.
[1439] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1440] Step 1:
[1441] Users enter voice notes into the wearable device, for example, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1442] Step 2:
[1443] The terminal receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer, where it is converted into a digital format.
[1444] Step 3:
[1445] The device sends the stored voice data to a speech recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based speech recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data, such as "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1446] Step 4:
[1447] The server receives the text data from the speech recognition API and analyzes it using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK). This involves grammatical and morphological analysis of the text data.
[1448] Step 5:
[1449] The server extracts keywords and important phrases from the analysis results, such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary."
[1450] Step 6:
[1451] The server groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, for example, grouping a note with the theme "marketing strategy" with other notes containing the keyword "meeting."
[1452] Step 7:
[1453] The server structures the organized notes. For example, it generates data in JSON format such as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[1454] Step 8:
[1455] The server stores the structured data in a personal database, which allows notes to be organized by date and subject.
[1456] Step 9:
[1457] A user launches a conversational AI assistant application and sends a request to view past notes, for example, "Show me the notes from last week's marketing strategy meeting."
[1458] Step 10:
[1459] The server receives the user's request and searches the personal database for relevant notes, for example, using the search criteria "marketing strategy," "meeting," and "last week."
[1460] Step 11:
[1461] The server passes the search results to a conversational AI engine, which generates a natural-language response for the user, such as "There is a memo that says 'I need to speak at a meeting about a new marketing strategy' on October 5, 2023."
[1462] Step 12:
[1463] Users can receive responses from the AI, reflect on their own thoughts and learnings, and ask the AI for more detailed information if necessary.
[1464] As described above, this system provides consistent support from voice input to data organization, storage, and review.

[1480] This invention is a system that allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, and automatically groups, organizes, and structures the memos into a database. Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.
[1481] Acquiring voice input and converting it to text
[1482] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1483] The device receives this voice data and sends it in real time to a speech recognition API (e.g., Google Cloud Speech-to-Text or Amazon Transcribe), which converts the voice data into text data.
[1484] The server receives the converted text data from the speech recognition API and uses it for subsequent processing.
[1485] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[1486] The server analyzes the converted text data using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[1487] Keywords and important phrases are extracted from the analysis results. At this stage, keywords such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are picked up.
[1488] The server automatically groups notes based on extracted keywords and phrases, organizing related notes by theme, for example, associating them with other notes that share the keywords "meeting" and "strategy."
[1489] Saving to a database
[1490] The server structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a database in a format such as JSON, possibly using a database such as MySQL or MongoDB.
[1491] For example, notes can be categorized and saved as "October 5, 2023" and "Meeting notes on marketing strategy."
[1492] Dialogue with AI
[1493] The user uses an interface such as a smartphone or PC to send a request to view past notes, for example, by entering a prompt such as "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[1494] The server receives the user's request and retrieves relevant information from a personal database.
[1495] The conversational AI tool generates a response in natural language based on this information and presents it to the user, for example, "There is a memo that says 'You need to talk about the new marketing strategy at a meeting on October 5, 2023."
[1496] Specific use cases
[1497] 1. Voice input example:
[1498] The user utters, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1499] 2. Text example:
[1500] The speech recognition means converts this into text: "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1501] 3. Parsing and Grouping Examples:

[1631] Input: User request
[1632] Output: Request to server
[1633] What happens: A user sends a request to a server through their device.
[1634] Step 7:
[1635] Data retrieval and response generation
[1636] Based on the user's request, the server searches for relevant information from a personal database and uses a generative AI model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-3) to generate a response in natural language and present it to the user.
[1637] Input: User request
[1638] Output: Natural language response
[1639] What it does: The server searches for relevant information from a personal database, uses a generative AI model to generate a natural language response, and sends it back to the user.
[1640] Examples of specific examples and prompts
[1641] Specific examples
[1642] User voice input: The user voice inputs, "We have spotted a suspicious person at the south gate."
[1643] Example of text conversion: The speech recognition means converts the text into "We have spotted a suspicious person at the south gate."
[1644] Example of analysis and grouping: The natural language processing means extracts the keywords "suspicious person" and "south gate", and the grouping means organizes them into "report of suspicious person discovery".
[1645] Example of database storage: The memo is saved in the database as "October 7, 2023" and "Suspicious person discovered report."
[1646] Example of an AI dialogue: A user requests, "Show me the report memo about the suspicious person spotted yesterday," and the conversational AI means responds, "There is a report that a suspicious person was spotted at the south gate on October 7, 2023."
[1647] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1648] "Please tell me the report about the suspicious person spotted at the south gate yesterday."
[1649] "Show me your notes about last night's surveillance."
[1650] "Any reports of unusual events this morning?"
[1651] 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.
[1652] This invention is a system that allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, automatically grouping, organizing themes, structuring the memos, and saving them in a database, and then adding emotional information using an emotion engine.Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.
[1653] System Overview
[1654] The system mainly consists of the following elements:
[1655] 1. Wearable devices: have the ability to acquire voice data.
[1656] 2. Speech recognition means: converts voice data into text data.
[1657] 3. Natural language processing tools: Analyze text data and extract keywords and important phrases.
[1658] 4. Grouping methods: Group notes based on keywords or phrases and organize them by theme.
[1659] 5. Database storage method: Organized notes are structured and stored in a database.
[1660] 6. Emotion engine: Analyzes emotions from voice data and adds that emotional information to text data.
[1661] 7. Interactive AI: Provides AI that allows users to retrieve information from a database and reflect on it interactively.
[1662] Acquisition of voice input, conversion to text, and sentiment analysis
[1663] The user uses a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or earphones) to input a note by voice, such as "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1664] The terminal receives this voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer.
[1665] The device sends the stored voice data to a voice recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based voice recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data.
[1666] The server receives the text data and uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions during voice input, adding emotional information (e.g., joy, sadness, anger) to the text data.
[1667] Natural Language Processing and Grouping
[1668] The server analyzes using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK).
[1669] Keywords and important phrases such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary" are extracted from the analyzed text data.
[1670] The server automatically groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases, and aggregates related notes. Furthermore, emotional information is also added to the notes. For example, a note may be associated with other notes containing keywords like "meeting" or "strategy" and tagged as having a "positive emotion."
[1671] Saving to a database
[1672] The server then structures the grouped notes by theme and stores them in a personal database in a format such as JSON, along with emotional information.
[1673] For example, data such as "October 5, 2023," "Meeting notes on marketing strategy," and "Sentiment: Positive" is generated.
[1674] Dialogue with AI
[1675] Users use a smartphone, computer, or other interface to send a request to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[1676] The server receives the user's request and searches for relevant notes in the personal database, including emotional information.
[1677] Based on this information, the conversational AI generates a response in natural language that takes emotion into account and presents it to the user, for example, "There is a memo that says 'I need to talk about a new marketing strategy at a meeting' on October 5, 2023. This memo contains positive emotion."
[1678] Specific examples
[1679] 1. Voice input example: "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1680] 2. Example of text conversion and sentiment analysis: A speech recognition tool converts the text "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting" into text, and a sentiment engine adds the sentiment tag "positive."
[1681] 3. Example of analysis and grouping: The natural language processing means extracts the keywords "meeting" and "new marketing strategy," and the grouping means groups them into the theme "marketing strategy" and adds emotional information.
[1682] 4. Example of saving to database: Save to database as "October 5, 2023", "Meeting notes on marketing strategy", "Sentiment: Positive".
[1683] 5. Example of an AI conversation: A user requests, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting about our marketing strategy," and the AI responds, "There is a note that says, 'We need to talk about our new marketing strategy in a meeting on October 5, 2023.' This note has a positive sentiment."
[1684] In this way, the present invention provides a system that consistently supports everything from taking voice memos using a wearable device, to automatically organizing and saving those memos, adding emotional information, and even reviewing them using AI.
[1685] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1686] Step 1:
[1687] The user enters a voice note into the wearable device, for example, "I need to talk about a new marketing strategy in tomorrow's meeting."
[1688] Step 2:
[1689] The terminal receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer, where it is converted into a digital format.
[1690] Step 3:
[1691] The device sends the stored voice data to a speech recognition API (e.g., a cloud-based speech recognition service) and converts the voice data into text data, which is output as an output such as, "We need to talk about our new marketing strategy at tomorrow's meeting."
[1692] Step 4:
[1693] The server receives text data from the speech recognition API. In parallel, it sends the voice data to the emotion engine to analyze the user's emotions. The results are combined with the text data and added as "emotion information (e.g., positive, negative)."
[1694] Step 5:
[1695] The server analyzes the text data using a natural language processing library (e.g., spaCy or NLTK), which includes grammatical analysis, morphological analysis, and keyword extraction.
[1696] Step 6:
[1697] The server extracts keywords and important phrases from the analyzed text data, such as "meeting," "new marketing strategy," "speak," and "necessary." Furthermore, emotional information is also included in the text data. For example, "Keywords: meeting, marketing strategy" and "Emotional information: positive."
[1698] Step 7:
[1699] The server then groups notes based on the extracted keywords and phrases. For example, it could group notes with the theme "marketing strategy" with other notes containing the keyword "meeting." It also takes into account emotional information and tags them with "positive emotion."
[1700] Step 8:
[1701] The server stores structured memo data in a personal database, including date, theme, keywords, and sentiment information. For example, "October 5, 2023," "Meeting notes on marketing strategy," and "Sentiment: Positive."
[1702] Step 9:
[1703] Users can use their smartphones or computers to send requests to view past notes, for example, by typing, "Show me the notes from last week's meeting on marketing strategy."
[1704] Step 10:
[1705] The server receives the user's request and searches for the relevant notes in the personal database. The search criteria include not only keywords but also emotional information. For example, "Marketing Strategy," "Meeting," "Last Week," and "Emotion: Positive."
[1706] Step 11:
[1707] The server then passes the data to a conversational AI engine based on the search results, and responds to the user in natural language. For example, it provides results in the form of, "On October 5, 2023, it was noted that 'We need to talk about a new marketing strategy at a meeting.' This note contains positive sentiment."
[1708] Step 12:
[1709] Users can receive responses from the AI and reflect on their own thoughts and learnings. Based on the emotional information, users can review past notes while taking into account their own emotional state. They can also ask the AI for further information if they need more detailed information.
[1710] In this way, the system provides consistent support from voice input to organizing and saving data, adding emotional information, and reviewing it.
[1711] Example 2
[1712] 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."
[1713] In conventional note-taking systems, organizing and categorizing voice memos, as well as adding emotional information, is done manually, which requires time and effort from the user. Searching past notes is also inefficient, and it is particularly difficult to search and review them while taking emotional information into account. There is a need for a system that can solve these problems and manage voice memos efficiently and effectively.
[1714] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1721] The "database storage means" is a processing means having the function of structuring the organized notes and storing them in a personal database.
[1722] A "personal database" is a database for storing a user's personal notes and information.
[1723] "Interactive AI means" refers to a processing means having artificial intelligence functions that enable dialogue with the user based on a personal database.
[1724] The "emotion engine means" is a processing means having a function of adding emotion information to text data.
[1725] "Emotional information" is digital data that indicates the user's emotional state (e.g., joy, sadness, anger) at the time of input.
[1726] A "data buffer" is a memory area for temporarily storing received audio data.
[1727] A "cloud-based speech recognition API" is a speech recognition service accessible via the internet and a programming interface that provides the functionality to convert speech data into text data.
[1728] "Analysis" is the process of understanding the meaning and structure of input data.
[1729] A "keyword" is a word or phrase that is considered to be particularly important in the text data.
[1730] This system allows users to easily take voice memos through a wearable device, automatically grouping, organizing, and structuring the memos into a database, and then adding emotional information using an emotion engine. Furthermore, based on this database, users can reflect on their own thoughts and learning through dialogue with AI.

[1821] 3. Natural Language Processing Methods
[1822] The server uses natural language processing libraries (e.g., spaCy or NLTK) to analyze the text data and extract keywords and important phrases, which allows it to automatically assess the importance of the information.
[1823] 4. Grouping Methods
[1824] The server then groups the voice memos based on the extracted keywords and phrases, organizing them by theme so that users can easily refer to them later.
[1825] 5. Database storage method
[1826] The organized voice memos are stored in a personal database in formats such as JSON, which ensures data integrity and efficient searching.
[1827] 6. Emotion Engine
[1828] Emotional information is added to the voice memo. Using an emotion engine, emotions such as joy, sadness, and anger are analyzed from the user's voice and tagged.
[1829] 7. Conversational AI methods
[1830] Users can use an in-car display or smartphone to send a request to view past notes, and a conversational AI mechanism responds, searching the database for the relevant note and generating a response in natural language.
[1831] Specific examples of processing
[1832] Voice input example
[1833] While driving, the user uses the wearable device to input a memo by voice, saying, "There was just a sudden cut-in 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan." This voice data is received in real time and converted by a voice recognition means into text data, saying, "There was just a sudden cut-in 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan."
[1834] Text analysis examples
[1835] Through analysis, the keywords "ahead," "cutting in," and "red sedan" are extracted, and these are organized using a grouping method. Furthermore, the emotion engine adds the emotional information of "anger."
[1836] Data storage and AI response examples
[1837] The date is saved in the personal database as "October 5, 2023," "Sudden cut-in," and "Emotion: Anger." Later, when the user requests, "Tell me what happened while you were driving today," the conversational AI means responds, "There is a note that says, 'On October 5, 2023, there was a sudden cut-in 100 meters ahead. The vehicle was a red sedan.' The emotion was anger."
[1838] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1839] Examples of prompts based on input voice data include:
[1840] "There was just a sudden cut-off about 100 meters ahead of me. The vehicle was a red sedan."
[1841] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1842] Step 1: The user uses the microphone on the wearable device to input a voice memo. For example, they might say, "There was a sudden cut-off 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan." This input is captured by the wearable device and sent to the terminal.
[1843] Step 2: The device receives the voice data in real time and stores it in a data buffer. It then sends the voice data to a cloud-based speech recognition API, which converts the voice data into text data. The output is the text data, "There was a sudden cut-off just now, 100 meters ahead. This vehicle was a red sedan."
[1844] Step 3: The server passes the received text data to a natural language processing tool (e.g., spaCy or NLTK) to extract keywords and important phrases. The input is text data, and the output is the main keywords and phrases, such as "ahead," "cut in," and "red sedan."
[1845] Step 4: The server groups the voice memos based on the extracted keywords and phrases. The data is organized by theme. For example, memos containing the keywords "ahead," "cutting in," and "red sedan" are grouped under "unexpected incidents while driving."
[1846] Step 5: The server applies an emotion engine to the grouped data to analyze the user's emotion at the time of voice input. The input is text data, and an emotion tag (e.g., "anger") is added as the output.
[1847] Step 6: The server saves the notes with emotion information in a personal database as structured data (e.g., JSON format). The input is the organized and grouped note data, and the output is saved in the database.
[1848] Step 7: The user sends a request to view past notes from their smartphone or in-car display. For example, they might type, "Tell me what happened while driving today." This input is sent to the server.
[1849] Step 8: The server searches the personal database for the relevant note and generates a natural language response based on the search results. The input is the user's request, and the output is a response such as "There is a note that says 'There was a sudden cut-off 100 meters ahead. The vehicle was a red sedan' on October 5, 2023. The emotion is anger."
[1850] Step 9: The generated natural language response is sent to a display device in the car or to the user's smartphone, where the user can review the information. The output can be a visual display or a text message.
[1851] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[1852] 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.
[1853] 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.
[1854] 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.
[1855] 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.
[1856] 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.
[1857] 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).
[1858] 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.
[1859] 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."
[1860] 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.
[1861] 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).
[1862] 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.
[1863] 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.
[1864] 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.
[1865] 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.
[1866] 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.
[1867] 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.
[1868] 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.
[1869] 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.

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.
