[0041] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements input by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions.
[0042] System Overview
[0043] This system works in conjunction with the terminal and server to generate design proposals based on the design requirements entered by the user, and makes proposals that take trend elements into account. Below are specific processing and examples of the program.
[0044] Explanation of program processing
[0045] Step 1: User enters design requirements
[0046] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as specific requirements like "a casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material." This information is structured as data on the device and then passed on to the next processing step.
[0047] Step 2: The device sends the input data to the server
[0048] The terminal sends the design requirement data entered by the user to the server, which transfers the data via the Internet using an HTTP POST request.
[0049] Step 3: The server analyzes the requirements
[0050] The server analyzes the received data using natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure the necessary information from the user's requirements. For example, it extracts specific keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable materials."
[0051] Step 4: The server generates a design proposal
[0052] The server generates design proposals from the requirements data analyzed using the AI model, taking into account the following factors:
[0053] Color Suggestion: Based on color theory and the latest trend data, it suggests the best color combinations. For example, it suggests bright colors such as yellow and light blue for summer dresses.
[0054] Shape suggestions: We suggest shapes and silhouettes that are suitable for different occasions and seasons. For example, A-line dresses and midi lengths are suggested for casual wear.
[0055] Material suggestions: Select the appropriate material based on functionality and trends. For example, breathable linen or cotton is suggested.
[0056] Step 5: The server makes a trend prediction
[0057] The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. Here, data is collected from online sources such as fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites, and analyzed using AI.
[0058] Step 6: Send the final design to your device
[0059] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the device, which receives them and displays them to the user, such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[0060] Step 7: User reviews the design
[0061] The user can review the proposed design on their device, provide feedback if necessary, and request revisions to the design by resubmitting it to the server.
[0062] Specific examples
[0063] Example 1: Summer casual dress design
[0064] 1. User input: "Casual summer dress," "Bright color," "Breathable material."
[0065] 2. The device sends the input data to the server.
[0066] 3. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable)
[0067] 4. Server generated:
[0068] Color suggestions: Yellow, light blue, white
[0069] Suggested styles: A-line dress, midi length
[0070] Material suggestions: linen, cotton
[0071] 5. Server predicts trend: Minimalist design is in vogue
[0072] 6. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[0073] 7. User confirms: Check the visual image and material details and finalize the design
[0074] Example 2: Winter accessories for the office
[0075] 1. User types: "winter office accessories," "elegant design," "silver"
[0076] 2. The device sends the input data to the server.
[0077] 3. Server analyzes: Keywords (winter, office, elegant, silver) are extracted
[0078] 4. Server generated:
[0079] Color suggestions: Silver, black, navy
[0080] Shape suggestion: simple lines, modern design
[0081] Material suggestions: Silver, stainless steel
[0082] 5. Server predicts trend: Minimalist jewelry is trending
[0083] 6. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[0084] 7. User review: Check the visual image and material details and request fine-tuning if necessary
[0085] As shown in these examples, the system can provide efficient and high-quality designs based on the user's requirements.
[0086] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0087] Step 1:
[0088] The user inputs design requirements using the device interface, for example, specific requirements such as "casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material."
[0089] Step 2:
[0090] The terminal sends the input design requirement data to the server. Specifically, the user input data is passed to the server via an HTTP POST request.
[0091] Step 3:
[0092] The server analyzes the received data and uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure the necessary information from the user's requirements, organizing keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable."
[0093] Step 4:
[0094] The server makes color suggestions based on design requirements. It references color theory and trend data to select the optimal color combination. For example, suggestions such as "yellow," "light blue," and "white" are made.
[0095] Step 5:
[0096] The server will suggest shapes and silhouettes that are best suited to the user's purpose and the season, such as "A-line dress" or "midi length."
[0097] Step 6:
[0098] The server will suggest materials based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, "linen" or "cotton" may be suggested.
[0099] Step 7:
[0100] The server applies trend prediction algorithms, analyzes current market trends, and collects and analyzes data to predict future trends, for example, by utilizing information from online fashion blogs and social media.
[0101] Step 8:
[0102] The server synthesizes the final design proposals. Design proposals are synthesized based on color, shape, and material, and a final proposal is created that reflects the trend forecast results.
[0103] Step 9:
[0104] The server sends the final design proposal to the device using an HTTP POST request, along with the generated design proposal and trend prediction results.
[0105] Step 10:
[0106] The terminal displays the received design proposal, providing detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists to the user.
[0107] Step 11:
[0108] The user checks the design proposal and provides feedback as needed. If corrections are needed, the requirements are entered again and the process is repeated.
[0109] Example 1
[0110] 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."
[0111] In modern design, it is difficult for users to efficiently find designs that meet their requirements, which consumes a lot of time and effort. It is also difficult to quickly incorporate market trends and reflect them in designs. In conventional systems, even if users provide specific feedback, it takes time for it to be reflected, resulting in a decrease in satisfaction.
[0112] 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.
[0113] In this invention, the server includes: means for accepting design requirements input by a user; means for transmitting the design requirement data to the server; means for analyzing the accepted design requirements; means for generating a design proposal based on the analyzed design requirements; means for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends; means for transmitting the generated design proposal and the trend prediction results to a terminal; means for the user to confirm the design proposal displayed on the terminal; and means for the user to input feedback on the confirmed design proposal and retransmit it to the server to request a revision. This enables the generation of appropriate and efficient design proposals that meet user requirements and reflect trends in the proposals. Furthermore, by quickly reflecting user feedback, improved user satisfaction can be expected.
[0114] "User" refers to the end-user who inputs design requirements and reviews and modifies proposed designs.
[0115] "Terminal" refers to a computer or mobile device used by a user to input design requirements and review proposed designs.
[0116] "Server" refers to the central computing system that analyzes design requirements, generates and proposes designs, and analyzes market trends and forecasts trends.

[0125] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements entered by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect the latest market trends.
[0126] System Overview
[0127] This system works by linking terminals and a server to generate design proposals based on design requirements entered by users and make proposals that take market trends into account. Specifically, it uses the following hardware and software:
[0128] Hardware
[0129] Device: A device such as a computer or smartphone operated by a user.
[0130] Server: A central computing system that performs data analysis, design generation, and trend forecasting.
[0131] software
[0132] Natural Language Processing (NLP) engine: Software for analyzing user-entered design requirements.
[0133] Generative AI model: AI for generating design proposals from analyzed requirements data.
[0134] Trend Forecasting Algorithms: Algorithms for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends.
[0135] Program processing explanation
[0136] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as specific requirements like "summer casual dress," "bright color," and "breathable material." The device then structures this information as data and sends it to the server using an HTTP POST request.
[0137] The server first stores the received data in a database, then analyzes the input data using a natural language processing (NLP) engine, extracting specific keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable materials."
[0138] Based on the analyzed requirements data, the server uses a generative AI model to generate design proposals, taking into account the following factors:
[0139] Color suggestions: The server refers to color theory and the latest trend data and suggests bright colors such as yellow or light blue for a "casual summer dress," for example.
[0140] Style suggestions: The server will suggest styles such as A-line dresses or midi dresses depending on the season and purpose.
[0141] Material suggestions: The server will suggest breathable materials such as linen and cotton.
[0142] The server then uses trend prediction algorithms to gather data from fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites to analyze the latest market trends. For example, if minimalist design is predicted to be popular, the server generates design proposals based on that.
[0143] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the terminal, which receives them and displays visual images, color palettes, material lists, etc. to the user. The user can check the proposed design proposals on the terminal, enter feedback if necessary, and resubmit them to the server to request design revisions.

[0170] This makes it possible to generate and propose appropriate and efficient design proposals that meet the user's requirements.
[0171] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0172] Step 1:
[0173] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as "a casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material." This input data is structured on the device and prepared for the next processing step.

[0179] Output: The data sent as an HTTP POST request.
[0180] Step 3:
[0181] The server first stores the received data in a database. It then analyzes the data using a natural language processing (NLP) engine to extract important keywords and concepts from the user's requirements. For example, keywords such as "summer," "casual," "light colors," and "breathable" are extracted.
[0182] Input: The data sent as an HTTP POST request.
[0183] Output: Extracted keywords and concepts (e.g., "summer," "casual," "light colors," "breathable").

[0197] Input: Design proposals and trend forecast results.
[0198] Output: The data sent as the HTTP response.
[0199] Step 7:
[0200] The user checks the proposed design on the terminal, and if the user is satisfied, confirms it as is, enters feedback as necessary, and resubmits it to the server to request corrections.
[0201] Input: Design proposals and trend forecast results.
[0202] Output: User feedback or design confirmation.
[0203] (Application example 1)
[0204] 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."
[0205] Conventional design systems have difficulty quickly generating design proposals that accurately reflect user requirements, and it is even more difficult to reflect market trends. As a result, user satisfaction is low and design quality is inconsistent. In addition, there is a lack of ways for users to specifically check and edit proposed design proposals, which means that they are unable to see the actual product when selling online.

[0217] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements entered by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect trend forecasts. A specific method for realizing this system is described below.
[0218] System program generation and implementation method
[0219] This system operates in cooperation with the server and the terminal used by the user. The main processing steps are as follows:
[0220] Hardware and Software
[0221] Devices: Smartphones, tablets, computers, and other devices
[0222] Server: Cloud server or on-premise server
[0223] Network: Internet connection
[0224] Languages and libraries used: Python, NLP libraries (e.g., NLTK, spaCy), machine learning libraries (e.g., TENSORFLOW (registered trademark), PyTorch), HTTP communication libraries (e.g., Requests)
[0225] Processing description
[0226] User inputs design requirements
[0227] Users input design requirements using a smartphone or PC interface, for example, by typing specific requirements such as "casual jacket for spring," "pastel color," and "waterproof material" into text boxes.
[0228] The device sends the input data to the server
[0229] The entered design requirement data is sent to the server via the Internet by an HTTP POST request.
[0230] The server analyzes the requirements
[0231] The server analyzes the received design requirements data and uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure specific keywords (such as "spring," "casual," "pastel colors," and "waterproof") from the input text.
[0232] The server generates design proposals
[0233] The AI model installed on the server generates design proposals based on the analyzed requirements data, using color theory and the latest trend data to suggest appropriate color combinations, shapes, silhouettes, materials, etc.
[0234] The server makes trend predictions
[0235] The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends, analysing data collected from online sources such as fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites.
[0236] Send the final design to your device
[0237] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the user's device, where they can be viewed. Visual images, color palettes, material lists, and more are displayed.
[0238] Users can review the design proposal and provide feedback or edits
[0239] After reviewing the proposed design on their device, users can provide feedback and make any necessary revisions to the design. Once the final design is confirmed, they will also be given the option to purchase it online.
[0240] Examples of specific examples and prompts
[0241] For example, if a user enters "casual spring jacket," "pastel color," and "waterproof material," the system will do the following:
[0242] Input prompt statement:
[0243] Casual jacket for spring
[0244] "Pastel colors"
[0245] Waterproof material
[0246] This system allows users to quickly obtain high-quality design proposals that meet their requirements and also allows them to receive proposals that reflect market trends. Furthermore, users can confirm and edit the proposed design proposals in detail, improving the online purchasing experience.
[0247] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0248] Step 1:
[0249] User inputs design requirements
[0250] The user uses the terminal interface to input design requirements. Examples of input requirements include "casual jacket for spring," "pastel color," and "waterproof material." The terminal structures this as text data and prepares it for the next processing step. The input data is the design requirements in text format. The output is structured design requirement data.
[0251] Step 2:
[0252] The device sends the input data to the server
[0253] The structured design requirement data is sent from the terminal to the server. Here, the data is transferred via the Internet by an HTTP POST request. The input data is the structured design requirement data, and the output is the design requirement data sent to the server.
[0254] Step 3:
[0255] The server analyzes the requirements
[0256] The server analyzes the received design requirements data and uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure specific keywords (such as "spring," "casual," "pastel colors," and "waterproof") from the user's requirements. Here, the input data is the design requirements data received by the server, and the output is the identified keywords and their understanding.
[0257] Step 4:
[0258] The server generates design proposals
[0259] A generative AI model installed on the server generates design proposals based on the analyzed requirement data. Based on color theory and the latest trend data, it suggests appropriate color combinations, shapes, silhouettes, materials, etc. The input data are identified requirement keywords, and the output is the generated design proposals.
[0260] Step 5:
[0261] The server makes trend predictions
[0262] The server collects the latest market trend data from online sources such as fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites, and applies a trend prediction algorithm to predict future trends. The input data is the collected market trend data, and the output is the trend prediction results.
[0263] Step 6:
[0264] The server sends design proposals and trend forecast results to the terminal.
[0265] The generated design proposals and trend prediction results are sent from the server to the terminal, where the user can check them. The input data are the generated design proposals and trend prediction results, and the output is the design proposals and trend prediction results displayed on the terminal.
[0266] Step 7:
[0267] Users can review the design proposal and provide feedback or edits
[0268] The user checks the design proposal displayed on the terminal. The user can provide feedback on the design proposal or edit the design as needed. The input data is the displayed design proposal, and the output is the feedback or edited design proposal.
[0269] Step 8:
[0270] Users can check the actual product online
[0271] The system provides the generated design proposal to the user and allows them to check it online in a form close to the real thing. This allows the user to check the design in detail. The input data is the generated design proposal, and the output is a design proposal displayed in a form close to the real thing.
[0272] 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.
[0273] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes and generates optimal design proposals based on design requirements and emotional information input by a user, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions.
[0274] System Overview
[0275] This system consists of a terminal, a server, and an emotion engine. Its unique feature is that it recognizes the user's emotional information in addition to the design requirements input by the user, and reflects this information in the design proposal.
[0276] Explanation of program processing
[0277] Step 1: User enters design requirements
[0278] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as "a casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material," for each specific item.
[0279] Step 2: The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion
[0280] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions, voice, text, etc. to recognize the user's emotional state, for example, determining whether the user is happy, excited, calm, etc.
[0281] Step 3: The device sends the input data and emotion data to the server.
[0282] The device sends the design requirement data and emotion data entered by the user to the server via an HTTP POST request.
[0283] Step 4: The server parses the data
[0284] The server analyzes the received design requirements and emotion data. It uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract necessary information from the design requirements and combines it with the emotion information obtained from the emotion engine for analysis. For example, it organizes information such as "summer," "casual," "bright color," "breathable," "happy," and "calm."
[0285] Step 5: The server generates a design proposal
[0286] The server uses the AI model to generate design proposals from the analyzed requirements and sentiment data, taking into account the following factors:
[0287] Color suggestions: Select the optimal color combination based on color theory and the latest trend data. For example, if the emotion is "happiness," suggest "yellow" or "light blue."
[0288] Shape suggestions: We suggest the best shape and silhouette for each occasion and season, such as "A-line dress" or "midi length."
[0289] Material suggestions: Materials are selected based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, "linen" and "cotton" are suggested.
[0290] Step 6: The server makes a trend prediction
[0291] The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. It collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, and other sources and uses AI to analyze it.
[0292] Step 7: Send the final design to your device
[0293] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the device, which receives them and displays them to the user, such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[0294] Step 8: User reviews the design
[0295] The user can review the proposed design on their device, provide feedback if necessary, and request revisions to the design by resubmitting it to the server.
[0296] Specific examples
[0297] Example 1: Emotion-based casual summer dress design
[0298] 1. User input: "Casual summer dress," "Bright color," "Breathable material."
[0299] 2. Emotion engine recognizes: User's emotions are "happy" and "excited"
[0300] 3. The device sends input data and emotion data to the server.
[0301] 4. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable, happy, excited)
[0302] 5. Server generated:
[0303] Color suggestions: Yellow, light blue
[0304] Suggested styles: A-line dress, midi length
[0305] Material suggestions: linen, cotton
[0306] 6. Server predicts trend: Minimalist design is in vogue
[0307] 7. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[0308] 8. User confirms: Check the visual image and material details and finalize the design
[0309] Example 2: Emotion-based winter accessories for the office
[0310] 1. User types: "winter office accessories," "elegant design," "silver"
[0311] 2. Emotion engine recognizes: User's emotions are "calm" and "confident"
[0312] 3. The device sends input data and emotion data to the server.
[0313] 4. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (winter, office, elegant, silver, calm, confident)
[0314] 5. Server generated:
[0315] Color suggestions: Silver, black, navy
[0316] Shape suggestion: simple lines, modern design
[0317] Material suggestions: Silver, stainless steel
[0318] 6. Server predicts trend: Minimalist jewelry is trending
[0319] 7. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[0320] 8. User review: Check the visual image and material details and request fine-tuning if necessary
[0321] The system takes into account the user's design requirements and emotional state to deliver more personalized and high-quality design suggestions.
[0322] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0323] Step 1:
[0324] The user inputs design requirements using the device interface, for example, specific requirements such as "casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material."
[0325] Step 2:
[0326] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions, voice, text, etc. to recognize the user's emotional state. For example, it analyzes facial expressions through a camera and identifies emotions such as "happiness" or "excitement."
[0327] Step 3:
[0328] The device sends the input data and emotion data to the server. The device sends the design requirement data entered by the user and the emotion data recognized by the emotion engine to the server. Here, an HTTP POST request is used.
[0329] Step 4:
[0330] The server analyzes the received design requirement data and sentiment data. Using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, it extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable, happy, excited) and organizes them as structured data.
[0331] Step 5:
[0332] The server generates design proposals. Using AI models, the server generates design proposals based on the analyzed design requirements and emotional data. It makes suggestions based on the following factors:
[0333] Color Suggestion: Selects the optimal color combination based on color theory and the latest trend data. For example, if the user is "happy," it will suggest bright colors such as "yellow" and "light blue."
[0334] Shape suggestions: The system suggests the best shape and silhouette for each occasion and season. For example, for "casual dresses," it suggests "A-line dresses" and "midi length."
[0335] Material suggestions: Select materials based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, suggest "linen" or "cotton" as "materials with good breathability."
[0336] Step 6:
[0337] The server performs trend prediction. The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. For example, it collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, etc. and analyzes it using AI.
[0338] Step 7:
[0339] The server integrates the final design proposal. It integrates design proposals based on color, shape, and material, and incorporates trend forecast results to create the final design proposal.
[0340] Step 8:
[0341] The server sends the final design proposal to the terminal. The server sends the generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal using an HTTP POST request.
[0342] Step 9:
[0343] The terminal displays the received design proposal, providing detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists to the user.
[0344] Step 10:
[0345] The user checks the proposed design. The user checks the proposed design on the terminal and enters feedback as necessary. If corrections are necessary, the requirements are entered again and the process is repeated.
[0346] Example 2
[0347] 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."
[0348] Conventional design generation systems did not consider the user's emotional information when proposing designs, making it difficult to provide designs that satisfied the user. It was also difficult to integrate trend forecasts that reflected the latest market trends into the design. For this reason, there was a need for a system that could provide personalized design proposals that met the user's needs.

[0353] "Means for analysis" refers to a method for understanding the input design requirements and emotional data and extracting the necessary information.
[0354] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates optimal design proposals based on design requirements and emotional data.
[0355] "Trend forecasting" is a method of analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future design trends.
[0356] "Feedback" refers to the act of a user inputting comments or requests for corrections to a design proposal.
[0357] "Color theory" is a theory that studies the impressions and psychological effects that specific colors give to people.
[0358] "Shape and silhouette" are design elements that indicate the appearance and placement of an object.
[0359] A "terminal" is a device to which a user can send input data and view generated design proposals.
[0360] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements and emotional information input by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions. The system is composed of a terminal, a server, and an emotion engine.

[0441] (Application example 2)
[0442] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0443] Conventional design generation systems generate design proposals based solely on user input data. This makes it difficult to propose designs that reflect the user's emotions and psychological state, and fails to sufficiently improve user satisfaction. Furthermore, it is difficult to accurately reflect the latest market trends and future trends, making it an inappropriate solution for virtual stores, which must always incorporate the latest trends.
[0444] The specification processing by the specification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for accepting design requirements input by a user, means for transmitting the design requirement data to the server, means for analyzing the accepted design requirements, means for generating design proposals based on the analyzed design requirements and the user's emotional state, means for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends, means for transmitting the generated design proposals and trend prediction results to the terminal, means for the user to confirm the design proposals displayed on the terminal, and means for recognizing the user's emotional state using facial recognition and voice recognition. This enables personalized design proposals that take the user's emotional state into consideration, thereby increasing user satisfaction. Furthermore, design proposals that reflect the latest market trends and future trends can be made.

[0471] The device sends the user's design requirement data and emotion data to the server via an HTTP POST request.
[0472] 3. Data analysis and design generation:
[0473] The server analyzes the received design requirement data using a natural language processing library (such as SpaCy) to extract keywords. At the same time, it also analyzes sentiment data. Based on this data, it uses an AI model (a generative AI model using TensorFlow or PyTorch) to generate optimal design proposals.
[0474] 4. Trend Forecasting:
[0475] The server collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, and other sources, and uses AI to analyze market trends and predict future trends. These trend predictions are also reflected in design proposals.
[0476] 5. Design proposal submission:
[0477] The final design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the user's device and displayed for review, allowing the user to check the visual image, color palette, material list, and other details.
[0478] Specific examples
[0479] If a user is looking for a fall jacket:
[0480] The user types "autumn jacket," "warm material," and "modern design" into their smartphone, and the camera and microphone are used to recognize the emotional states of "relaxed" and "satisfied."
[0481] The server analyzes this data and suggests the most suitable color (e.g., "olive green" or "brown"), shape (e.g., "slim fit"), material (e.g., "wool"), etc.
[0482] The server analyzes the latest market trends and sends the generated design proposals and trend forecast results to the smartphone.
[0483] The user checks visual images and detailed design proposals and makes the final selection.
[0484] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0485] "Generate detailed design proposals for a fall jacket made of warm material with a modern design that is perfect for customers with a relaxed feel."
[0486] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0487] Step 1:
[0488] The user inputs the design requirements. Using the smartphone interface, the user inputs design requirements such as "autumn jacket," "warm material," and "modern design" in text. This input serves as the basis for data processing in each subsequent step.
[0489] Step 2:
[0490] The device recognizes emotional information. It uses the smartphone's camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and then performs facial recognition (using OpenCV) and voice recognition (using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API). Through this process, the device identifies the user's emotional state as "relaxed" or "satisfied," for example. Emotional information is extracted from the user's facial expression and voice data using an emotion recognition algorithm.
[0491] Step 3:
[0492] The terminal sends the design requirement data and emotion data to the server. The terminal sends the design requirement data and emotion data entered by the user to the server via an HTTP POST request. The sent data includes text (design requirement) and emotion state (relaxed, satisfied, etc.).
[0493] Step 4:
[0494] The server analyzes the data. The server uses natural language processing (SpaCy or GPT-4) to analyze the received design requirement data and extract keywords. At the same time, it also analyzes the emotional data. As a result of this analysis, keywords such as "autumn," "jacket," "warm," and "modern" and emotional states such as "relaxed" and "satisfied" are obtained.
[0495] Step 5:
[0496] The server generates design proposals using a generative AI model (using TensorFlow or PyTorch) based on the analyzed requirements and sentiment data. The server suggests optimal colors ("olive green" or "brown"), shapes ("slim fit"), and materials ("wool"), for example. The AI model is trained on a large amount of design data and generates design proposals by referencing related data.
[0497] Step 6:
[0498] The server analyzes the latest market trends and makes trend predictions. The server collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, etc. and uses AI to analyze market trends. Based on these results, future trends are predicted and incorporated into design proposals.
[0499] Step 7:
[0500] The server sends the generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal. The server then sends the final generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal as an HTTP response, which includes detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[0501] Step 8:
[0502] The user checks the proposed design on their device. The user can check the design proposals and trend prediction results sent to the device on their smartphone screen and make corrections or feedback as necessary. For example, they can input a request for correction, such as "I want the color to be a little darker," and send it back to the server to fine-tune the design.
[0503] The above is the flow of specific processing steps, which enables personalized design proposals based on the user's needs and emotions.
[0504] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0505] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (registered trademark) (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as the "terminal."
[0520] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements input by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions.
[0521] System Overview
[0522] This system works in conjunction with the terminal and server to generate design proposals based on the design requirements entered by the user, and makes proposals that take trend elements into account. Below are specific processing and examples of the program.
[0523] Explanation of program processing
[0524] Step 1: User enters design requirements
[0525] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as specific requirements like "a casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material." This information is structured as data on the device and then passed on to the next processing step.
[0526] Step 2: The device sends the input data to the server
[0527] The terminal sends the design requirement data entered by the user to the server, which transfers the data via the Internet using an HTTP POST request.
[0528] Step 3: The server analyzes the requirements
[0529] The server analyzes the received data using natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure the necessary information from the user's requirements. For example, it extracts specific keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable materials."
[0530] Step 4: The server generates a design proposal
[0531] The server generates design proposals from the requirements data analyzed using the AI model, taking into account the following factors:
[0532] Color Suggestion: Based on color theory and the latest trend data, it suggests the best color combinations. For example, it suggests bright colors such as yellow and light blue for summer dresses.
[0533] Shape suggestions: We suggest shapes and silhouettes that are suitable for different occasions and seasons. For example, A-line dresses and midi lengths are suggested for casual wear.
[0534] Material suggestions: Select the appropriate material based on functionality and trends. For example, breathable linen or cotton is suggested.
[0535] Step 5: The server makes a trend prediction
[0536] The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. Here, data is collected from online sources such as fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites, and analyzed using AI.
[0537] Step 6: Send the final design to your device
[0538] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the device, which receives them and displays them to the user, such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[0539] Step 7: User reviews the design
[0540] The user can review the proposed design on their device, provide feedback if necessary, and request revisions to the design by resubmitting it to the server.
[0541] Specific examples
[0542] Example 1: Summer casual dress design
[0543] 1. User input: "Casual summer dress," "Bright color," "Breathable material."
[0544] 2. The device sends the input data to the server.
[0545] 3. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable)
[0546] 4. Server generated:
[0547] Color suggestions: Yellow, light blue, white
[0548] Suggested styles: A-line dress, midi length
[0549] Material suggestions: linen, cotton
[0550] 5. Server predicts trend: Minimalist design is in vogue
[0551] 6. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[0552] 7. User confirms: Check the visual image and material details and finalize the design
[0553] Example 2: Winter accessories for the office
[0554] 1. User types: "winter office accessories," "elegant design," "silver"
[0555] 2. The device sends the input data to the server.
[0556] 3. Server analyzes: Keywords (winter, office, elegant, silver) are extracted
[0557] 4. Server generated:
[0558] Color suggestions: Silver, black, navy
[0559] Shape suggestion: simple lines, modern design
[0560] Material suggestions: Silver, stainless steel
[0561] 5. Server predicts trend: Minimalist jewelry is trending
[0562] 6. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[0563] 7. User review: Check the visual image and material details and request fine-tuning if necessary
[0564] As shown in these examples, the system can provide efficient and high-quality designs based on the user's requirements.
[0565] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0566] Step 1:
[0567] The user inputs design requirements using the device interface, for example, specific requirements such as "casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material."
[0568] Step 2:
[0569] The terminal sends the input design requirement data to the server. Specifically, the user input data is passed to the server via an HTTP POST request.
[0570] Step 3:
[0571] The server analyzes the received data and uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure the necessary information from the user's requirements, organizing keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable."
[0572] Step 4:
[0573] The server makes color suggestions based on design requirements. It references color theory and trend data to select the optimal color combination. For example, suggestions such as "yellow," "light blue," and "white" are made.
[0574] Step 5:
[0575] The server will suggest shapes and silhouettes that are best suited to the user's purpose and the season, such as "A-line dress" or "midi length."
[0576] Step 6:
[0577] The server will suggest materials based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, "linen" or "cotton" may be suggested.
[0578] Step 7:
[0579] The server applies trend prediction algorithms, analyzes current market trends, and collects and analyzes data to predict future trends, for example, by utilizing information from online fashion blogs and social media.
[0580] Step 8:
[0581] The server synthesizes the final design proposals. Design proposals are synthesized based on color, shape, and material, and a final proposal is created that reflects the trend forecast results.
[0582] Step 9:
[0583] The server sends the final design proposal to the device using an HTTP POST request, along with the generated design proposal and trend prediction results.
[0584] Step 10:
[0585] The terminal displays the received design proposal, providing detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists to the user.
[0586] Step 11:
[0587] The user checks the design proposal and provides feedback as needed. If corrections are needed, the requirements are entered again and the process is repeated.

[0589] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0590] In modern design, it is difficult for users to efficiently find designs that meet their requirements, which consumes a lot of time and effort. It is also difficult to quickly incorporate market trends and reflect them in designs. In conventional systems, even if users provide specific feedback, it takes time for it to be reflected, resulting in a decrease in satisfaction.

This enables the generation of appropriate and efficient design proposals that meet user requirements and reflect trends in the proposals. Furthermore, by quickly reflecting user feedback, improved user satisfaction can be expected.

[0604] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements entered by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect the latest market trends.
[0605] System Overview
[0606] This system works by linking terminals and a server to generate design proposals based on design requirements entered by users and make proposals that take market trends into account. Specifically, it uses the following hardware and software:
[0607] Hardware
[0608] Device: A device such as a computer or smartphone operated by a user.
[0609] Server: A central computing system that performs data analysis, design generation, and trend forecasting.
[0610] software
[0611] Natural Language Processing (NLP) engine: Software for analyzing user-entered design requirements.
[0612] Generative AI model: AI for generating design proposals from analyzed requirements data.
[0613] Trend Forecasting Algorithms: Algorithms for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends.
[0614] Program processing explanation
[0615] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as specific requirements like "summer casual dress," "bright color," and "breathable material." The device then structures this information as data and sends it to the server using an HTTP POST request.
[0616] The server first stores the received data in a database, then analyzes the input data using a natural language processing (NLP) engine, extracting specific keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable materials."
[0617] Based on the analyzed requirements data, the server uses a generative AI model to generate design proposals, taking into account the following factors:
[0618] Color suggestions: The server refers to color theory and the latest trend data and suggests bright colors such as yellow or light blue for a "casual summer dress," for example.
[0619] Style suggestions: The server will suggest styles such as A-line dresses or midi dresses depending on the season and purpose.
[0620] Material suggestions: The server will suggest breathable materials such as linen and cotton.
[0621] The server then uses trend prediction algorithms to gather data from fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites to analyze the latest market trends. For example, if minimalist design is predicted to be popular, the server generates design proposals based on that.
[0622] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the terminal, which receives them and displays visual images, color palettes, material lists, etc. to the user. The user can check the proposed design proposals on the terminal, enter feedback if necessary, and resubmit them to the server to request design revisions.

[0651] Step 1:
[0652] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as "a casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material." This input data is structured on the device and prepared for the next processing step.
[0653] Input: User-entered design requirements (e.g., "casual summer dress," "bright color," "breathable material").

[0657] Input: Structured design requirements data.
[0658] Output: The data sent as an HTTP POST request.
[0659] Step 3:
[0660] The server first stores the received data in a database. It then analyzes the data using a natural language processing (NLP) engine to extract important keywords and concepts from the user's requirements. For example, keywords such as "summer," "casual," "light colors," and "breathable" are extracted.
[0661] Input: The data sent as an HTTP POST request.
[0662] Output: Extracted keywords and concepts (e.g., "summer," "casual," "light colors," "breathable").

[0672] Input: Market trend data from the internet.
[0673] Output: Future trend prediction results (e.g. minimalist design will be popular).
[0674] Step 6:
[0675] The server sends the generated design proposals and trend forecast results as an HTTP response to the terminal, which receives them and displays them visually to the user. The displayed content includes visual images, color palettes, material lists, etc.
[0676] Input: Design proposals and trend forecast results.
[0677] Output: The data sent as the HTTP response.
[0678] Step 7:
[0679] The user checks the proposed design on the terminal, and if the user is satisfied, confirms it as is, enters feedback as necessary, and resubmits it to the server to request corrections.
[0680] Input: Design proposals and trend forecast results.
[0681] Output: User feedback or design confirmation.

[0684] Conventional design systems have difficulty quickly generating design proposals that accurately reflect user requirements, and it is even more difficult to reflect market trends. As a result, user satisfaction is low and design quality is inconsistent. In addition, there is a lack of ways for users to specifically check and edit proposed design proposals, which means that they are unable to see the actual product when selling online.

[0696] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements entered by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect trend forecasts. A specific method for realizing this system is described below.
[0697] System program generation and implementation method
[0698] This system operates in cooperation with the server and the terminal used by the user. The main processing steps are as follows:
[0699] Hardware and Software
[0700] Devices: Smartphones, tablets, computers, and other devices
[0701] Server: Cloud server or on-premise server
[0702] Network: Internet connection
[0703] Languages and libraries used: Python, NLP libraries (e.g., NLTK, spaCy), machine learning libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch), HTTP communication libraries (e.g., Requests)
[0704] Processing description
[0705] User inputs design requirements
[0706] Users input design requirements using a smartphone or PC interface, for example, by typing specific requirements such as "casual jacket for spring," "pastel color," and "waterproof material" into text boxes.
[0707] The device sends the input data to the server
[0708] The entered design requirement data is sent to the server via the Internet by an HTTP POST request.
[0709] The server analyzes the requirements
[0710] The server analyzes the received design requirements data and uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure specific keywords (such as "spring," "casual," "pastel colors," and "waterproof") from the input text.
[0711] The server generates design proposals
[0712] The AI model installed on the server generates design proposals based on the analyzed requirements data, using color theory and the latest trend data to suggest appropriate color combinations, shapes, silhouettes, materials, etc.
[0713] The server makes trend predictions
[0714] The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends, analysing data collected from online sources such as fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites.
[0715] Send the final design to your device
[0716] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the user's device, where they can be viewed. Visual images, color palettes, material lists, and more are displayed.
[0717] Users can review the design proposal and provide feedback or edits
[0718] After reviewing the proposed design on their device, users can provide feedback and make any necessary revisions to the design. Once the final design is confirmed, they will also be given the option to purchase it online.
[0719] Examples of specific examples and prompts
[0720] For example, if a user enters "casual spring jacket," "pastel color," and "waterproof material," the system will do the following:
[0721] Input prompt statement:
[0722] Casual jacket for spring
[0723] "Pastel colors"
[0724] Waterproof material
[0725] This system allows users to quickly obtain high-quality design proposals that meet their requirements and also allows them to receive proposals that reflect market trends. Furthermore, users can confirm and edit the proposed design proposals in detail, improving the online purchasing experience.
[0726] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0727] Step 1:
[0728] User inputs design requirements
[0729] The user uses the terminal interface to input design requirements. Examples of input requirements include "casual jacket for spring," "pastel color," and "waterproof material." The terminal structures this as text data and prepares it for the next processing step. The input data is the design requirements in text format. The output is structured design requirement data.
[0730] Step 2:
[0731] The device sends the input data to the server
[0732] The structured design requirement data is sent from the terminal to the server. Here, the data is transferred via the Internet by an HTTP POST request. The input data is the structured design requirement data, and the output is the design requirement data sent to the server.
[0733] Step 3:
[0734] The server analyzes the requirements
[0735] The server analyzes the received design requirements data and uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure specific keywords (such as "spring," "casual," "pastel colors," and "waterproof") from the user's requirements. Here, the input data is the design requirements data received by the server, and the output is the identified keywords and their understanding.
[0736] Step 4:
[0737] The server generates design proposals
[0738] A generative AI model installed on the server generates design proposals based on the analyzed requirement data. Based on color theory and the latest trend data, it suggests appropriate color combinations, shapes, silhouettes, materials, etc. The input data are identified requirement keywords, and the output is the generated design proposals.
[0739] Step 5:
[0740] The server makes trend predictions
[0741] The server collects the latest market trend data from online sources such as fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites, and applies a trend prediction algorithm to predict future trends. The input data is the collected market trend data, and the output is the trend prediction results.
[0742] Step 6:
[0743] The server sends design proposals and trend forecast results to the terminal.
[0744] The generated design proposals and trend prediction results are sent from the server to the terminal, where the user can check them. The input data are the generated design proposals and trend prediction results, and the output is the design proposals and trend prediction results displayed on the terminal.
[0745] Step 7:
[0746] Users can review the design proposal and provide feedback or edits
[0747] The user checks the design proposal displayed on the terminal. The user can provide feedback on the design proposal or edit the design as needed. The input data is the displayed design proposal, and the output is the feedback or edited design proposal.
[0748] Step 8:
[0749] Users can check the actual product online
[0750] The system provides the generated design proposal to the user and allows them to check it online in a form close to the real thing. This allows the user to check the design in detail. The input data is the generated design proposal, and the output is a design proposal displayed in a form close to the real thing.
[0751] 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.
[0752] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes and generates optimal design proposals based on design requirements and emotional information input by a user, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions.
[0753] System Overview
[0754] This system consists of a terminal, a server, and an emotion engine. Its unique feature is that it recognizes the user's emotional information in addition to the design requirements input by the user, and reflects this information in the design proposal.
[0755] Explanation of program processing
[0756] Step 1: User enters design requirements
[0757] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as "a casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material," for each specific item.
[0758] Step 2: The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion
[0759] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions, voice, text, etc. to recognize the user's emotional state, for example, determining whether the user is happy, excited, calm, etc.
[0760] Step 3: The device sends the input data and emotion data to the server.
[0761] The device sends the design requirement data and emotion data entered by the user to the server via an HTTP POST request.
[0762] Step 4: The server parses the data
[0763] The server analyzes the received design requirements and emotion data. It uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract necessary information from the design requirements and combines it with the emotion information obtained from the emotion engine for analysis. For example, it organizes information such as "summer," "casual," "bright color," "breathable," "happy," and "calm."
[0764] Step 5: The server generates a design proposal
[0765] The server uses the AI model to generate design proposals from the analyzed requirements and sentiment data, taking into account the following factors:
[0766] Color suggestions: Select the optimal color combination based on color theory and the latest trend data. For example, if the emotion is "happiness," suggest "yellow" or "light blue."
[0767] Shape suggestions: We suggest the best shape and silhouette for each occasion and season, such as "A-line dress" or "midi length."
[0768] Material suggestions: Materials are selected based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, "linen" and "cotton" are suggested.
[0769] Step 6: The server makes a trend prediction
[0770] The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. It collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, and other sources and uses AI to analyze it.
[0771] Step 7: Send the final design to your device
[0772] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the device, which receives them and displays them to the user, such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[0773] Step 8: User reviews the design
[0774] The user can review the proposed design on their device, provide feedback if necessary, and request revisions to the design by resubmitting it to the server.
[0775] Specific examples
[0776] Example 1: Emotion-based casual summer dress design
[0777] 1. User input: "Casual summer dress," "Bright color," "Breathable material."
[0778] 2. Emotion engine recognizes: User's emotions are "happy" and "excited"
[0779] 3. The device sends input data and emotion data to the server.
[0780] 4. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable, happy, excited)
[0781] 5. Server generated:
[0782] Color suggestions: Yellow, light blue
[0783] Suggested styles: A-line dress, midi length
[0784] Material suggestions: linen, cotton
[0785] 6. Server predicts trend: Minimalist design is in vogue
[0786] 7. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[0787] 8. User confirms: Check the visual image and material details and finalize the design
[0788] Example 2: Emotion-based winter accessories for the office
[0789] 1. User types: "winter office accessories," "elegant design," "silver"
[0790] 2. Emotion engine recognizes: User's emotions are "calm" and "confident"
[0791] 3. The device sends input data and emotion data to the server.
[0792] 4. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (winter, office, elegant, silver, calm, confident)
[0793] 5. Server generated:
[0794] Color suggestions: Silver, black, navy
[0795] Shape suggestion: simple lines, modern design
[0796] Material suggestions: Silver, stainless steel
[0797] 6. Server predicts trend: Minimalist jewelry is trending
[0798] 7. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[0799] 8. User review: Check the visual image and material details and request fine-tuning if necessary
[0800] The system takes into account the user's design requirements and emotional state to deliver more personalized and high-quality design suggestions.
[0801] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0802] Step 1:
[0803] The user inputs design requirements using the device interface, for example, specific requirements such as "casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material."
[0804] Step 2:
[0805] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions, voice, text, etc. to recognize the user's emotional state. For example, it analyzes facial expressions through a camera and identifies emotions such as "happiness" or "excitement."
[0806] Step 3:
[0807] The device sends the input data and emotion data to the server. The device sends the design requirement data entered by the user and the emotion data recognized by the emotion engine to the server. Here, an HTTP POST request is used.
[0808] Step 4:
[0809] The server analyzes the received design requirement data and sentiment data. Using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, it extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable, happy, excited) and organizes them as structured data.
[0810] Step 5:
[0811] The server generates design proposals. Using AI models, the server generates design proposals based on the analyzed design requirements and emotional data. It makes suggestions based on the following factors:
[0812] Color Suggestion: Selects the optimal color combination based on color theory and the latest trend data. For example, if the user is "happy," it will suggest bright colors such as "yellow" and "light blue."
[0813] Shape suggestions: The system suggests the best shape and silhouette for each occasion and season. For example, for "casual dresses," it suggests "A-line dresses" and "midi length."
[0814] Material suggestions: Select materials based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, suggest "linen" or "cotton" as "materials with good breathability."
[0815] Step 6:
[0816] The server performs trend prediction. The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. For example, it collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, etc. and analyzes it using AI.
[0817] Step 7:
[0818] The server integrates the final design proposal. It integrates design proposals based on color, shape, and material, and incorporates trend forecast results to create the final design proposal.
[0819] Step 8:
[0820] The server sends the final design proposal to the terminal. The server sends the generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal using an HTTP POST request.
[0821] Step 9:
[0822] The terminal displays the received design proposal, providing detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists to the user.
[0823] Step 10:
[0824] The user checks the proposed design. The user checks the proposed design on the terminal and enters feedback as necessary. If corrections are necessary, the requirements are entered again and the process is repeated.
[0825] Example 2
[0826] 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."
[0827] Conventional design generation systems did not consider the user's emotional information when proposing designs, making it difficult to provide designs that satisfied the user. It was also difficult to integrate trend forecasts that reflected the latest market trends into the design. For this reason, there was a need for a system that could provide personalized design proposals that met the user's needs.
[0828] The specification process by the specification 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 accepting design requirements input by the user, means for transmitting the design requirement data and user emotion data to the server, means for analyzing the accepted design requirements and emotion information, means for generating design proposals based on the analyzed design requirements and emotion information, means for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends, means for transmitting the generated design proposals and trend prediction results to the terminal, and means for the user to check the design proposals displayed on the terminal and input feedback. This makes it possible to provide personalized design proposals that reflect the user's emotional state and incorporate trend predictions that reflect the latest market trends into the design.
[0829] "Design requirements" are information entered by a user regarding their wishes and conditions regarding a particular design.
[0830] "Emotional data" is information that represents the user's emotional state, and is data collected from facial expressions, voice, and text.
[0831] The "server" is a computer system that generates design proposals, analyzes design requirements and emotional data, and predicts trends.
[0832] "Means for analysis" refers to a method for understanding the input design requirements and emotional data and extracting the necessary information.
[0833] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates optimal design proposals based on design requirements and emotional data.
[0834] "Trend forecasting" is a method of analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future design trends.
[0835] "Feedback" refers to the act of a user inputting comments or requests for corrections to a design proposal.
[0836] "Color theory" is a theory that studies the impressions and psychological effects that specific colors give to people.
[0837] "Shape and silhouette" are design elements that indicate the appearance and placement of an object.
[0838] A "terminal" is a device to which a user can send input data and view generated design proposals.
[0839] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements and emotional information input by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions. The system is composed of a terminal, a server, and an emotion engine.

[0882] Input: Design requirements (text format)
[0883] Output: Input design requirements (internal data of the device)
[0884] Step 2:
[0885] The terminal starts the emotion engine and starts collecting the user's emotion data.
[0886] Specifically, the emotion engine collects facial and voice data from the user via a webcam and microphone, and also analyzes the input text data, allowing it to classify the user's emotional state into categories such as "happy," "excited," or "calm."
[0887] Input: User's facial expression data, voice data, text data
[0888] Output: Analyzed emotion information (categorical data)
[0889] Step 3:
[0890] The terminal transmits the input design requirement data and the analyzed emotion data to the server.
[0891] Specifically, this data is converted into JSON format and sent to the server as an HTTP POST request.
[0892] Input: Design requirements data, emotion data (JSON format)
[0893] Output: HTTP POST request to the server
[0894] Step 4:
[0895] The server analyzes the received design requirement data and emotion data.
[0896] Specifically, it uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract important information from design requirements and process it in combination with emotional information, for example, extracting keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," "breathable," "happy," and "excited" from the input data.
[0897] Input: Design requirement data (text format), emotion data (categorical data)
[0898] Output: Extracted keywords and analysis information
[0899] Step 5:
[0900] The server uses a generative AI model to generate design proposals.

[0920] (Application example 2)
[0921] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0922] Conventional design generation systems generate design proposals based solely on user input data. This makes it difficult to propose designs that reflect the user's emotions and psychological state, and fails to sufficiently improve user satisfaction. Furthermore, it is difficult to accurately reflect the latest market trends and future trends, making it an inappropriate solution for virtual stores, which must always incorporate the latest trends.
[0923] The specification processing by the specification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for accepting design requirements input by a user, means for transmitting the design requirement data to the server, means for analyzing the accepted design requirements, means for generating design proposals based on the analyzed design requirements and the user's emotional state, means for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends, means for transmitting the generated design proposals and trend prediction results to the terminal, means for the user to confirm the design proposals displayed on the terminal, and means for recognizing the user's emotional state using facial recognition and voice recognition. This enables personalized design proposals that take the user's emotional state into consideration, thereby increasing user satisfaction. Furthermore, design proposals that reflect the latest market trends and future trends can be made.

[0966] Step 1:
[0967] The user inputs the design requirements. Using the smartphone interface, the user inputs design requirements such as "autumn jacket," "warm material," and "modern design" in text. This input serves as the basis for data processing in each subsequent step.
[0968] Step 2:
[0969] The device recognizes emotional information. It uses the smartphone's camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and then performs facial recognition (using OpenCV) and voice recognition (using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API). Through this process, the device identifies the user's emotional state as "relaxed" or "satisfied," for example. Emotional information is extracted from the user's facial expression and voice data using an emotion recognition algorithm.
[0970] Step 3:
[0971] The terminal sends the design requirement data and emotion data to the server. The terminal sends the design requirement data and emotion data entered by the user to the server via an HTTP POST request. The sent data includes text (design requirement) and emotion state (relaxed, satisfied, etc.).
[0972] Step 4:
[0973] The server analyzes the data. The server uses natural language processing (SpaCy or GPT-4) to analyze the received design requirement data and extract keywords. At the same time, it also analyzes the emotional data. As a result of this analysis, keywords such as "autumn," "jacket," "warm," and "modern" and emotional states such as "relaxed" and "satisfied" are obtained.
[0974] Step 5:
[0975] The server generates design proposals using a generative AI model (using TensorFlow or PyTorch) based on the analyzed requirements and sentiment data. The server suggests optimal colors ("olive green" or "brown"), shapes ("slim fit"), and materials ("wool"), for example. The AI model is trained on a large amount of design data and generates design proposals by referencing related data.
[0976] Step 6:
[0977] The server analyzes the latest market trends and makes trend predictions. The server collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, etc. and uses AI to analyze market trends. Based on these results, future trends are predicted and incorporated into design proposals.
[0978] Step 7:
[0979] The server sends the generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal. The server then sends the final generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal as an HTTP response, which includes detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[0980] Step 8:
[0981] The user checks the proposed design on their device. The user can check the design proposals and trend prediction results sent to the device on their smartphone screen and make corrections or feedback as necessary. For example, they can input a request for correction, such as "I want the color to be a little darker," and send it back to the server to fine-tune the design.
[0982] The above is the flow of specific processing steps, which enables personalized design proposals based on the user's needs and emotions.
[0983] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0984] 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.
[0985] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the smart glasses 214.

[0999] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements input by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions.
[1000] System Overview
[1001] This system works in conjunction with the terminal and server to generate design proposals based on the design requirements entered by the user, and makes proposals that take trend elements into account. Below are specific processing and examples of the program.
[1002] Explanation of program processing
[1003] Step 1: User enters design requirements
[1004] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as specific requirements like "a casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material." This information is structured as data on the device and then passed on to the next processing step.
[1005] Step 2: The device sends the input data to the server
[1006] The terminal sends the design requirement data entered by the user to the server, which transfers the data via the Internet using an HTTP POST request.
[1007] Step 3: The server analyzes the requirements
[1008] The server analyzes the received data using natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure the necessary information from the user's requirements. For example, it extracts specific keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable materials."
[1009] Step 4: The server generates a design proposal
[1010] The server generates design proposals from the requirements data analyzed using the AI model, taking into account the following factors:
[1011] Color Suggestion: Based on color theory and the latest trend data, it suggests the best color combinations. For example, it suggests bright colors such as yellow and light blue for summer dresses.
[1012] Shape suggestions: We suggest shapes and silhouettes that are suitable for different occasions and seasons. For example, A-line dresses and midi lengths are suggested for casual wear.
[1013] Material suggestions: Select the appropriate material based on functionality and trends. For example, breathable linen or cotton is suggested.
[1014] Step 5: The server makes a trend prediction
[1015] The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. Here, data is collected from online sources such as fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites, and analyzed using AI.
[1016] Step 6: Send the final design to your device
[1017] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the device, which receives them and displays them to the user, such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[1018] Step 7: User reviews the design
[1019] The user can review the proposed design on their device, provide feedback if necessary, and request revisions to the design by resubmitting it to the server.
[1020] Specific examples
[1021] Example 1: Summer casual dress design
[1022] 1. User input: "Casual summer dress," "Bright color," "Breathable material."
[1023] 2. The device sends the input data to the server.
[1024] 3. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable)
[1025] 4. Server generated:
[1026] Color suggestions: Yellow, light blue, white
[1027] Suggested styles: A-line dress, midi length
[1028] Material suggestions: linen, cotton
[1029] 5. Server predicts trend: Minimalist design is in vogue
[1030] 6. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[1031] 7. User confirms: Check the visual image and material details and finalize the design
[1032] Example 2: Winter accessories for the office
[1033] 1. User types: "winter office accessories," "elegant design," "silver"
[1034] 2. The device sends the input data to the server.
[1035] 3. Server analyzes: Keywords (winter, office, elegant, silver) are extracted
[1036] 4. Server generated:
[1037] Color suggestions: Silver, black, navy
[1038] Shape suggestion: simple lines, modern design
[1039] Material suggestions: Silver, stainless steel
[1040] 5. Server predicts trend: Minimalist jewelry is trending
[1041] 6. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[1042] 7. User review: Check the visual image and material details and request fine-tuning if necessary
[1043] As shown in these examples, the system can provide efficient and high-quality designs based on the user's requirements.
[1044] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1045] Step 1:
[1046] The user inputs design requirements using the device interface, for example, specific requirements such as "casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material."
[1047] Step 2:
[1048] The terminal sends the input design requirement data to the server. Specifically, the user input data is passed to the server via an HTTP POST request.
[1049] Step 3:
[1050] The server analyzes the received data and uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure the necessary information from the user's requirements, organizing keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable."
[1051] Step 4:
[1052] The server makes color suggestions based on the design requirements. It selects the optimal color combination by referring to color theory and trend data. For example, suggestions such as "yellow," "light blue," and "white" are made.
[1053] Step 5:
[1054] The server will suggest shapes and silhouettes that are best suited to the user's purpose and the season, such as "A-line dress" or "midi length."
[1055] Step 6:
[1056] The server will suggest materials based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, "linen" or "cotton" may be suggested.
[1057] Step 7:
[1058] The server applies trend prediction algorithms, analyzes current market trends, and collects and analyzes data to predict future trends, for example, by utilizing information from online fashion blogs and social media.
[1059] Step 8:
[1060] The server synthesizes the final design proposals. Design proposals are synthesized based on color, shape, and material, and a final proposal is created that reflects the trend forecast results.
[1061] Step 9:
[1062] The server sends the final design proposal to the device using an HTTP POST request, along with the generated design proposal and trend prediction results.
[1063] Step 10:
[1064] The terminal displays the received design proposal, providing detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists to the user.
[1065] Step 11:
[1066] The user checks the design proposal and provides feedback as needed. If corrections are needed, the requirements are entered again and the process is repeated.
[1067] Example 1
[1068] 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 headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

This enables the generation of appropriate and efficient design proposals that meet user requirements and reflect trends in the proposals. Furthermore, by quickly reflecting user feedback, improved user satisfaction can be expected.

[1084] System Overview
[1085] This system works by linking terminals and a server to generate design proposals based on design requirements entered by users and make proposals that take market trends into account. Specifically, it uses the following hardware and software:
[1086] Hardware
[1087] Device: A device such as a computer or smartphone operated by a user.
[1088] Server: A central computing system that performs data analysis, design generation, and trend forecasting.
[1089] software

[1091] Generative AI model: AI for generating design proposals from analyzed requirements data.
[1092] Trend Forecasting Algorithms: Algorithms for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends.
[1093] Program processing explanation
[1094] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as specific requirements like "summer casual dress," "bright color," and "breathable material." The device then structures this information as data and sends it to the server using an HTTP POST request.
[1095] The server first stores the received data in a database, then analyzes the input data using a natural language processing (NLP) engine, extracting specific keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable materials."
[1096] Based on the analyzed requirements data, the server uses a generative AI model to generate design proposals, taking into account the following factors:
[1097] Color suggestions: The server refers to color theory and the latest trend data and suggests bright colors such as yellow or light blue for a "casual summer dress," for example.
[1098] Style suggestions: The server will suggest styles such as A-line dresses or midi dresses depending on the season and purpose.
[1099] Material suggestions: The server will suggest breathable materials such as linen and cotton.
[1100] The server then uses trend prediction algorithms to gather data from fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites to analyze the latest market trends. For example, if minimalist design is predicted to be popular, the server generates design proposals based on that.
[1101] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the terminal, which receives them and displays visual images, color palettes, material lists, etc. to the user. The user can check the proposed design proposals on the terminal, enter feedback if necessary, and resubmit them to the server to request design revisions.

[1138] Step 3:
[1139] The server first stores the received data in a database. It then analyzes the data using a natural language processing (NLP) engine to extract important keywords and concepts from the user's requirements. For example, keywords such as "summer," "casual," "light colors," and "breathable" are extracted.
[1140] Input: The data sent as an HTTP POST request.

[1155] Input: Design proposals and trend forecast results.
[1156] Output: The data sent as the HTTP response.
[1157] Step 7:
[1158] The user checks the proposed design on the terminal, and if the user is satisfied, confirms it as is, enters feedback as necessary, and resubmits it to the server to request corrections.
[1159] Input: Design proposals and trend forecast results.
[1160] Output: User feedback or design confirmation.

[1163] Conventional design systems have difficulty quickly generating design proposals that accurately reflect user requirements, and it is even more difficult to reflect market trends. As a result, user satisfaction is low and design quality is inconsistent. In addition, there is a lack of ways for users to specifically check and edit proposed design proposals, which means that they are unable to see the actual product when selling online.

[1196] Users can review the design proposal and provide feedback or edits
[1197] After reviewing the proposed design on their device, users can provide feedback and make any necessary revisions to the design. Once the final design is confirmed, they will also be given the option to purchase it online.
[1198] Examples of concrete examples and prompts
[1199] For example, if a user enters "casual spring jacket," "pastel color," and "waterproof material," the system will do the following:
[1200] Input prompt statement:
[1201] Casual jacket for spring
[1202] "Pastel colors"
[1203] Waterproof material
[1204] This system allows users to quickly obtain high-quality design proposals that meet their requirements and also allows them to receive proposals that reflect market trends. Furthermore, users can confirm and edit the proposed design proposals in detail, improving the online purchasing experience.
[1205] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1206] Step 1:
[1207] User inputs design requirements
[1208] The user uses the terminal interface to input design requirements. Examples of input requirements include "casual jacket for spring," "pastel color," and "waterproof material." The terminal structures this as text data and prepares it for the next processing step. The input data is the design requirements in text format. The output is structured design requirement data.
[1209] Step 2:
[1210] The device sends the input data to the server
[1211] The structured design requirement data is sent from the terminal to the server. Here, the data is transferred via the Internet by an HTTP POST request. The input data is the structured design requirement data, and the output is the design requirement data sent to the server.
[1212] Step 3:
[1213] The server analyzes the requirements
[1214] The server analyzes the received design requirements data and uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure specific keywords (such as "spring," "casual," "pastel colors," and "waterproof") from the user's requirements. Here, the input data is the design requirements data received by the server, and the output is the identified keywords and their understanding.
[1215] Step 4:
[1216] The server generates design proposals
[1217] A generative AI model installed on the server generates design proposals based on the analyzed requirement data. Based on color theory and the latest trend data, it suggests appropriate color combinations, shapes, silhouettes, materials, etc. The input data are identified requirement keywords, and the output is the generated design proposals.
[1218] Step 5:
[1219] The server makes trend predictions
[1220] The server collects the latest market trend data from online sources such as fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites, and applies a trend prediction algorithm to predict future trends. The input data is the collected market trend data, and the output is the trend prediction results.
[1221] Step 6:
[1222] The server sends design proposals and trend forecast results to the terminal.
[1223] The generated design proposals and trend prediction results are sent from the server to the terminal, where the user can check them. The input data are the generated design proposals and trend prediction results, and the output is the design proposals and trend prediction results displayed on the terminal.
[1224] Step 7:
[1225] Users can review the design proposal and provide feedback or edits
[1226] The user checks the design proposal displayed on the terminal. The user can provide feedback on the design proposal or edit the design as needed. The input data is the displayed design proposal, and the output is the feedback or edited design proposal.
[1227] Step 8:
[1228] Users can check the actual product online
[1229] The system provides the generated design proposal to the user and allows them to check it online in a form close to the real thing. This allows the user to check the design in detail. The input data is the generated design proposal, and the output is a design proposal displayed in a form close to the real thing.
[1230] 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.
[1231] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes and generates optimal design proposals based on design requirements and emotional information input by a user, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions.
[1232] System Overview
[1233] This system consists of a terminal, a server, and an emotion engine. Its unique feature is that it recognizes the user's emotional information in addition to the design requirements input by the user, and reflects this information in the design proposal.
[1234] Explanation of program processing
[1235] Step 1: User enters design requirements
[1236] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as "a casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material," for each specific item.
[1237] Step 2: The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion
[1238] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions, voice, text, etc. to recognize the user's emotional state, for example, determining whether the user is happy, excited, calm, etc.
[1239] Step 3: The device sends the input data and emotion data to the server.
[1240] The device sends the design requirement data and emotion data entered by the user to the server via an HTTP POST request.
[1241] Step 4: The server parses the data
[1242] The server analyzes the received design requirements and emotion data. It uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract necessary information from the design requirements and combines it with the emotion information obtained from the emotion engine for analysis. For example, it organizes information such as "summer," "casual," "bright color," "breathable," "happy," and "calm."
[1243] Step 5: The server generates a design proposal
[1244] The server uses the AI model to generate design proposals from the analyzed requirements and sentiment data, taking into account the following factors:
[1245] Color suggestions: Select the optimal color combination based on color theory and the latest trend data. For example, if the emotion is "happiness," suggest "yellow" or "light blue."
[1246] Shape suggestions: We suggest the best shape and silhouette for each occasion and season, such as "A-line dress" or "midi length."
[1247] Material suggestions: Materials are selected based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, "linen" and "cotton" are suggested.
[1248] Step 6: The server makes a trend prediction
[1249] The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. It collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, and other sources and uses AI to analyze it.
[1250] Step 7: Send the final design to your device
[1251] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the device, which receives them and displays them to the user, such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[1252] Step 8: User reviews the design
[1253] The user can review the proposed design on their device, provide feedback if necessary, and request revisions to the design by resubmitting it to the server.
[1254] Specific examples
[1255] Example 1: Emotion-based casual summer dress design
[1256] 1. User input: "Casual summer dress," "Bright color," "Breathable material."
[1257] 2. Emotion engine recognizes: User's emotions are "happy" and "excited"
[1258] 3. The device sends input data and emotion data to the server.
[1259] 4. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable, happy, excited)
[1260] 5. Server generated:
[1261] Color suggestions: Yellow, light blue
[1262] Suggested styles: A-line dress, midi length
[1263] Material suggestions: linen, cotton
[1264] 6. Server predicts trend: Minimalist design is in vogue
[1265] 7. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[1266] 8. User confirms: Check the visual image and material details and finalize the design
[1267] Example 2: Emotion-based winter accessories for the office
[1268] 1. User types: "winter office accessories," "elegant design," "silver"
[1269] 2. Emotion engine recognizes: User's emotions are "calm" and "confident"
[1270] 3. The device sends input data and emotion data to the server.
[1271] 4. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (winter, office, elegant, silver, calm, confident)
[1272] 5. Server generated:
[1273] Color suggestions: Silver, black, navy
[1274] Shape suggestion: simple lines, modern design
[1275] Material suggestions: Silver, stainless steel
[1276] 6. Server predicts trend: Minimalist jewelry is trending
[1277] 7. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[1278] 8. User review: Check the visual image and material details and request fine-tuning if necessary
[1279] The system takes into account the user's design requirements and emotional state to deliver more personalized and high-quality design suggestions.
[1280] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1281] Step 1:
[1282] The user inputs design requirements using the device interface, for example, specific requirements such as "casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material."
[1283] Step 2:
[1284] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions, voice, text, etc. to recognize the user's emotional state. For example, it analyzes facial expressions through a camera and identifies emotions such as "happiness" or "excitement."
[1285] Step 3:
[1286] The device sends the input data and emotion data to the server. The device sends the design requirement data entered by the user and the emotion data recognized by the emotion engine to the server. Here, an HTTP POST request is used.
[1287] Step 4:
[1288] The server analyzes the received design requirement data and sentiment data. Using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, it extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable, happy, excited) and organizes them as structured data.
[1289] Step 5:
[1290] The server generates design proposals. Using AI models, the server generates design proposals based on the analyzed design requirements and emotional data. It makes suggestions based on the following factors:
[1291] Color Suggestion: Selects the optimal color combination based on color theory and the latest trend data. For example, if the user is "happy," it will suggest bright colors such as "yellow" and "light blue."
[1292] Shape suggestions: The system suggests the best shape and silhouette for each occasion and season. For example, for "casual dresses," it suggests "A-line dresses" and "midi length."
[1293] Material suggestions: Select materials based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, suggest "linen" or "cotton" as "materials with good breathability."
[1294] Step 6:
[1295] The server performs trend prediction. The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. For example, it collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, etc. and analyzes it using AI.
[1296] Step 7:
[1297] The server integrates the final design proposal. It integrates design proposals based on color, shape, and material, and incorporates trend forecast results to create the final design proposal.
[1298] Step 8:
[1299] The server sends the final design proposal to the terminal. The server sends the generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal using an HTTP POST request.
[1300] Step 9:
[1301] The terminal displays the received design proposal, providing detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists to the user.
[1302] Step 10:
[1303] The user checks the proposed design. The user checks the proposed design on the terminal and enters feedback as necessary. If corrections are necessary, the requirements are entered again and the process is repeated.
[1304] Example 2
[1305] 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."
[1306] Conventional design generation systems did not consider the user's emotional information when proposing designs, making it difficult to provide designs that satisfied the user. It was also difficult to integrate trend forecasts that reflected the latest market trends into the design. For this reason, there was a need for a system that could provide personalized design proposals that met the user's needs.
[1307] The specification process by the specification 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 accepting design requirements input by the user, means for transmitting the design requirement data and user emotion data to the server, means for analyzing the accepted design requirements and emotion information, means for generating design proposals based on the analyzed design requirements and emotion information, means for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends, means for transmitting the generated design proposals and trend prediction results to the terminal, and means for the user to check the design proposals displayed on the terminal and input feedback. This makes it possible to provide personalized design proposals that reflect the user's emotional state and incorporate trend predictions that reflect the latest market trends into the design.
[1308] "Design requirements" are information entered by a user regarding their wishes and conditions regarding a particular design.
[1309] "Emotional data" is information that represents the user's emotional state, and is data collected from facial expressions, voice, and text.
[1310] The "server" is a computer system that generates design proposals, analyzes design requirements and emotional data, and predicts trends.
[1311] "Means for analysis" refers to a method for understanding the input design requirements and emotional data and extracting the necessary information.
[1312] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates optimal design proposals based on design requirements and emotional data.
[1313] "Trend forecasting" is a method of analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future design trends.
[1314] "Feedback" refers to the act of a user inputting comments or requests for corrections to a design proposal.
[1315] "Color theory" is a theory that studies the impressions and psychological effects that specific colors give to people.
[1316] "Shape and silhouette" are design elements that indicate the appearance and placement of an object.
[1317] A "terminal" is a device to which a user can send input data and view generated design proposals.
[1318] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements and emotional information input by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions. The system is composed of a terminal, a server, and an emotion engine.

[1361] Input: Design requirements (text format)
[1362] Output: Input design requirements (internal data of the device)
[1363] Step 2:
[1364] The terminal starts the emotion engine and starts collecting the user's emotion data.
[1365] Specifically, the emotion engine collects facial and voice data from the user via a webcam and microphone, and also analyzes the input text data, allowing it to classify the user's emotional state into categories such as "happy," "excited," or "calm."
[1366] Input: User's facial expression data, voice data, text data
[1367] Output: Analyzed emotion information (categorical data)
[1368] Step 3:
[1369] The terminal transmits the input design requirement data and the analyzed emotion data to the server.
[1370] Specifically, this data is converted into JSON format and sent to the server as an HTTP POST request.
[1371] Input: Design requirements data, emotion data (JSON format)
[1372] Output: HTTP POST request to the server
[1373] Step 4:

[1376] Input: Design requirement data (text format), emotion data (categorical data)
[1377] Output: Extracted keywords and analysis information
[1378] Step 5:
[1379] The server uses a generative AI model to generate design proposals.

[1399] (Application example 2)
[1400] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1401] Conventional design generation systems generate design proposals based solely on user input data. This makes it difficult to propose designs that reflect the user's emotions and psychological state, and fails to sufficiently improve user satisfaction. Furthermore, it is difficult to accurately reflect the latest market trends and future trends, making it an inappropriate solution for virtual stores, which must always incorporate the latest trends.
[1402] The specification processing by the specification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for accepting design requirements input by a user, means for transmitting the design requirement data to the server, means for analyzing the accepted design requirements, means for generating design proposals based on the analyzed design requirements and the user's emotional state, means for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends, means for transmitting the generated design proposals and trend prediction results to the terminal, means for the user to confirm the design proposals displayed on the terminal, and means for recognizing the user's emotional state using facial recognition and voice recognition. This enables personalized design proposals that take the user's emotional state into consideration, thereby increasing user satisfaction. Furthermore, design proposals that reflect the latest market trends and future trends can be made.
[1403] "Design requirements" refer to the design features and conditions desired by the user.
[1404] A "server" is a computer system that provides services and information to other devices on a network.
[1405] "Analysis" means examining data or information in detail to clarify its structure and meaning.
[1406] "Emotional state" refers to the user's psychological state or mood, and is information that can be inferred from facial expressions and voice.
[1407] A "design proposal" is a specific design proposal generated based on the analyzed data and requirements.
[1408] "Market trends" refers to current market trends and consumer preferences.
[1409] "Trend forecasting" is analysis to predict future consumer preferences and market changes.
[1410] A "terminal" is an electronic device that allows a user to input information and check the display.
[1411] "Facial recognition" is a technology that uses a camera to identify an individual's face and analyze its features.
[1412] "Speech recognition" is a technology that uses a microphone to convert voice data into text data.
[1413] "Personalization" refers to customization according to the needs and preferences of individual users.
[1414] A "visual image" is a picture or figure that is displayed in a visual form.
[1415] This invention is a system in which a server generates optimal design proposals based on the user's design requirements and emotional information, and makes proposals that reflect the latest market trends. Specifically, the system allows the user to input design requirements using a terminal and recognize emotional information, enabling personalized design proposals.
[1416] Hardware and Software Use
[1417] Device:
[1418] Smartphone (using an application that implements React Native)
[1419] Smartphone camera (using OpenCV for facial recognition)
[1420] Smartphone microphone (voice recognition is performed using the Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API)
[1421] server:
[1422] Server system (built using Python Flask)
[1423] Natural language processing libraries (using SpaCy and GPT-4)
[1424] AI models (using TensorFlow or PyTorch)
[1425] Data processing and calculation
[1426] 1. Design requirements and receiving emotional information:
[1427] The user inputs design requirements, such as "autumn jacket," "warm material," and "modern design," through the smartphone interface. At the same time, the smartphone's camera and microphone are used for facial and voice recognition to capture the user's emotional state (e.g., "relaxed" or "satisfied").
[1428] 2. Data transmission:
[1429] The device sends the user's design requirement data and emotion data to the server via an HTTP POST request.
[1430] 3. Data analysis and design generation:
[1431] The server analyzes the received design requirement data using a natural language processing library (such as SpaCy) to extract keywords. At the same time, it also analyzes sentiment data. Based on this data, it uses an AI model (a generative AI model using TensorFlow or PyTorch) to generate optimal design proposals.
[1432] 4. Trend Forecasting:
[1433] The server collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, and other sources, and uses AI to analyze market trends and predict future trends. These trend predictions are also reflected in design proposals.
[1434] 5. Design proposal submission:
[1435] The final design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the user's device and displayed for review, allowing the user to check the visual image, color palette, material list, and other details.
[1436] Specific examples
[1437] If a user is looking for a fall jacket:
[1438] The user types "autumn jacket," "warm material," and "modern design" into their smartphone, and the camera and microphone are used to recognize the emotional states of "relaxed" and "satisfied."
[1439] The server analyzes this data and suggests the most suitable color (e.g., "olive green" or "brown"), shape (e.g., "slim fit"), material (e.g., "wool"), etc.
[1440] The server analyzes the latest market trends and sends the generated design proposals and trend forecast results to the smartphone.
[1441] The user checks visual images and detailed design proposals and makes the final selection.
[1442] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1443] "Generate detailed design proposals for a fall jacket made of warm material with a modern design that is perfect for customers with a relaxed feel."
[1444] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1445] Step 1:
[1446] The user inputs the design requirements. Using the smartphone interface, the user inputs design requirements such as "autumn jacket," "warm material," and "modern design" in text. This input serves as the basis for data processing in each subsequent step.
[1447] Step 2:
[1448] The device recognizes emotional information. It uses the smartphone's camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and then performs facial recognition (using OpenCV) and voice recognition (using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API). Through this process, the device identifies the user's emotional state as "relaxed" or "satisfied," for example. Emotional information is extracted from the user's facial expression and voice data using an emotion recognition algorithm.
[1449] Step 3:
[1450] The terminal sends the design requirement data and emotion data to the server. The terminal sends the design requirement data and emotion data entered by the user to the server via an HTTP POST request. The sent data includes text (design requirement) and emotion state (relaxed, satisfied, etc.).
[1451] Step 4:
[1452] The server analyzes the data. The server uses natural language processing (SpaCy or GPT-4) to analyze the received design requirement data and extract keywords. At the same time, it also analyzes the emotional data. As a result of this analysis, keywords such as "autumn," "jacket," "warm," and "modern" and emotional states such as "relaxed" and "satisfied" are obtained.
[1453] Step 5:
[1454] The server generates design proposals using a generative AI model (using TensorFlow or PyTorch) based on the analyzed requirements and sentiment data. The server suggests optimal colors ("olive green" or "brown"), shapes ("slim fit"), and materials ("wool"), for example. The AI model is trained on a large amount of design data and generates design proposals by referencing related data.
[1455] Step 6:
[1456] The server analyzes the latest market trends and makes trend predictions. The server collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, etc. and uses AI to analyze market trends. Based on these results, future trends are predicted and incorporated into design proposals.
[1457] Step 7:
[1458] The server sends the generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal. The server then sends the final generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal as an HTTP response, which includes detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[1459] Step 8:
[1460] The user checks the proposed design on their device. The user can check the design proposals and trend prediction results sent to the device on their smartphone screen and make corrections or feedback as necessary. For example, they can input a request for correction, such as "I want the color to be a little darker," and send it back to the server to fine-tune the design.
[1461] The above is the flow of specific processing steps, which enables personalized design proposals based on the user's needs and emotions.
[1462] 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.
[1463] 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.

[1479] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements input by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions.
[1480] System Overview
[1481] This system works in conjunction with the terminal and server to generate design proposals based on the design requirements entered by the user, and makes proposals that take trend elements into account. Below are specific processing and examples of the program.
[1482] Explanation of program processing
[1483] Step 1: User enters design requirements
[1484] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as specific requirements like "a casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material." This information is structured as data on the device and then passed on to the next processing step.
[1485] Step 2: The device sends the input data to the server
[1486] The terminal sends the design requirement data entered by the user to the server, which transfers the data via the Internet using an HTTP POST request.
[1487] Step 3: The server analyzes the requirements
[1488] The server analyzes the received data using natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure the necessary information from the user's requirements. For example, it extracts specific keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable materials."
[1489] Step 4: The server generates a design proposal
[1490] The server generates design proposals from the requirements data analyzed using the AI model, taking into account the following factors:
[1491] Color Suggestion: Based on color theory and the latest trend data, it suggests the best color combinations. For example, it suggests bright colors such as yellow and light blue for summer dresses.
[1492] Shape suggestions: We suggest shapes and silhouettes that are suitable for different occasions and seasons. For example, A-line dresses and midi lengths are suggested for casual wear.
[1493] Material suggestions: Select the appropriate material based on functionality and trends. For example, breathable linen or cotton is suggested.
[1494] Step 5: The server makes a trend prediction
[1495] The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. Here, data is collected from online sources such as fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites, and analyzed using AI.
[1496] Step 6: Send the final design to your device
[1497] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the device, which receives them and displays them to the user, such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[1498] Step 7: User reviews the design
[1499] The user can review the proposed design on their device, provide feedback if necessary, and request revisions to the design by resubmitting it to the server.
[1500] Specific examples
[1501] Example 1: Summer casual dress design
[1502] 1. User input: "Casual summer dress," "Bright color," "Breathable material."
[1503] 2. The device sends the input data to the server.
[1504] 3. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable)
[1505] 4. Server generated:
[1506] Color suggestions: Yellow, light blue, white
[1507] Suggested styles: A-line dress, midi length
[1508] Material suggestions: linen, cotton
[1509] 5. Server predicts trend: Minimalist design is in vogue
[1510] 6. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[1511] 7. User confirms: Check the visual image and material details and finalize the design
[1512] Example 2: Winter accessories for the office
[1513] 1. User types: "winter office accessories," "elegant design," "silver"
[1514] 2. The device sends the input data to the server.
[1515] 3. Server analyzes: Keywords (winter, office, elegant, silver) are extracted
[1516] 4. Server generated:
[1517] Color suggestions: Silver, black, navy
[1518] Shape suggestion: simple lines, modern design
[1519] Material suggestions: Silver, stainless steel
[1520] 5. Server predicts trend: Minimalist jewelry is trending
[1521] 6. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[1522] 7. User review: Check the visual image and material details and request fine-tuning if necessary
[1523] As shown in these examples, the system can provide efficient and high-quality designs based on the user's requirements.
[1524] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1525] Step 1:
[1526] The user inputs design requirements using the device interface, for example, specific requirements such as "casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material."
[1527] Step 2:
[1528] The terminal sends the input design requirement data to the server. Specifically, the user input data is passed to the server via an HTTP POST request.
[1529] Step 3:
[1530] The server analyzes the received data and uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure the necessary information from the user's requirements, organizing keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable."
[1531] Step 4:
[1532] The server makes color suggestions based on design requirements. It references color theory and trend data to select the optimal color combination. For example, suggestions such as "yellow," "light blue," and "white" are made.
[1533] Step 5:
[1534] The server will suggest shapes and silhouettes that are best suited to the user's purpose and the season, such as "A-line dress" or "midi length."
[1535] Step 6:
[1536] The server will suggest materials based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, "linen" or "cotton" may be suggested.
[1537] Step 7:
[1538] The server applies trend prediction algorithms, analyzes current market trends, and collects and analyzes data to predict future trends, for example, by utilizing information from online fashion blogs and social media.
[1539] Step 8:
[1540] The server synthesizes the final design proposals. Design proposals are synthesized based on color, shape, and material, and a final proposal is created that reflects the trend forecast results.
[1541] Step 9:
[1542] The server sends the final design proposal to the device using an HTTP POST request, along with the generated design proposal and trend prediction results.
[1543] Step 10:
[1544] The terminal displays the received design proposal, providing detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists to the user.
[1545] Step 11:
[1546] The user checks the design proposal and provides feedback as needed. If corrections are needed, the requirements are entered again and the process is repeated.
[1547] Example 1
[1548] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1549] In modern design, it is difficult for users to efficiently find designs that meet their requirements, which consumes a lot of time and effort. It is also difficult to quickly incorporate market trends and reflect them in designs. In conventional systems, even if users provide specific feedback, it takes time for it to be reflected, resulting in a decrease in satisfaction.
[1550] 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.

This enables the generation of appropriate and efficient design proposals that meet user requirements and reflect trends in the proposals. Furthermore, by quickly reflecting user feedback, improved user satisfaction can be expected.

[1564] System Overview
[1565] This system works by linking terminals and a server to generate design proposals based on design requirements entered by users and make proposals that take market trends into account. Specifically, it uses the following hardware and software:
[1566] Hardware
[1567] Device: A device such as a computer or smartphone operated by a user.
[1568] Server: A central computing system that performs data analysis, design generation, and trend forecasting.
[1569] software

[1571] Generative AI model: AI for generating design proposals from analyzed requirements data.
[1572] Trend Forecasting Algorithms: Algorithms for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends.
[1573] Program processing explanation
[1574] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as specific requirements like "summer casual dress," "bright color," and "breathable material." The device then structures this information as data and sends it to the server using an HTTP POST request.
[1575] The server first stores the received data in a database, then analyzes the input data using a natural language processing (NLP) engine, extracting specific keywords such as "summer," "casual," "bright colors," and "breathable materials."
[1576] Based on the analyzed requirements data, the server uses a generative AI model to generate design proposals, taking into account the following factors:
[1577] Color suggestions: The server refers to color theory and the latest trend data and suggests bright colors such as yellow or light blue for a "casual summer dress," for example.
[1578] Style suggestions: The server will suggest styles such as A-line dresses or midi dresses depending on the season and purpose.
[1579] Material suggestions: The server will suggest breathable materials such as linen and cotton.
[1580] The server then uses trend prediction algorithms to gather data from fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites to analyze the latest market trends. For example, if minimalist design is predicted to be popular, the server generates design proposals based on that.
[1581] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the terminal, which receives them and displays visual images, color palettes, material lists, etc. to the user. The user can check the proposed design proposals on the terminal, enter feedback if necessary, and resubmit them to the server to request design revisions.

[1667] The entered design requirement data is sent to the server via the Internet by an HTTP POST request.
[1668] The server analyzes the requirements
[1669] The server analyzes the received design requirements data and uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure specific keywords (such as "spring," "casual," "pastel colors," and "waterproof") from the input text.
[1670] The server generates design proposals
[1671] The AI model installed on the server generates design proposals based on the analyzed requirements data, using color theory and the latest trend data to suggest appropriate color combinations, shapes, silhouettes, materials, etc.

[1679] For example, if a user enters "casual spring jacket," "pastel color," and "waterproof material," the system will do the following:
[1680] Input prompt statement:
[1681] Casual jacket for spring
[1682] "Pastel colors"
[1683] Waterproof material
[1684] This system allows users to quickly obtain high-quality design proposals that meet their requirements and also allows them to receive proposals that reflect market trends. Furthermore, users can confirm and edit the proposed design proposals in detail, improving the online purchasing experience.
[1685] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1686] Step 1:
[1687] User inputs design requirements
[1688] The user uses the terminal interface to input design requirements. Examples of input requirements include "casual jacket for spring," "pastel color," and "waterproof material."

[1692] Step 3:
[1693] The server analyzes the requirements
[1694] The server analyzes the received design requirements data and uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract and structure specific keywords (such as "spring," "casual," "pastel colors," and "waterproof") from the user's requirements. Here, the input data is the design requirements data received by the server, and the output is the identified keywords and their understanding.
[1695] Step 4:
[1696] The server generates design proposals
[1697] A generative AI model installed on the server generates design proposals based on the analyzed requirement data. Based on color theory and the latest trend data, it suggests appropriate color combinations, shapes, silhouettes, materials, etc. The input data are identified requirement keywords, and the output is the generated design proposals.
[1698] Step 5:
[1699] The server makes trend predictions
[1700] The server collects the latest market trend data from online sources such as fashion blogs, social media, and shopping sites, and applies a trend prediction algorithm to predict future trends. The input data is the collected market trend data, and the output is the trend prediction results.
[1701] Step 6:
[1702] The server sends design proposals and trend forecast results to the terminal.
[1703] The generated design proposals and trend prediction results are sent from the server to the terminal, where the user can check them. The input data are the generated design proposals and trend prediction results, and the output is the design proposals and trend prediction results displayed on the terminal.
[1704] Step 7:
[1705] Users can review the design proposal and provide feedback or edits
[1706] The user checks the design proposal displayed on the terminal. The user can provide feedback on the design proposal or edit the design as needed. The input data is the displayed design proposal, and the output is the feedback or edited design proposal.
[1707] Step 8:
[1708] Users can check the actual product online
[1709] The system provides the generated design proposal to the user and allows them to check it online in a form close to the real thing. This allows the user to check the design in detail. The input data is the generated design proposal, and the output is a design proposal displayed in a form close to the real thing.
[1710] 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.
[1711] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes and generates optimal design proposals based on design requirements and emotional information input by a user, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions.
[1712] System Overview
[1713] This system consists of a terminal, a server, and an emotion engine. Its unique feature is that it recognizes the user's emotional information in addition to the design requirements input by the user, and reflects this information in the design proposal.
[1714] Explanation of program processing
[1715] Step 1: User enters design requirements
[1716] The user uses the device interface to input design requirements, such as "a casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material," for each specific item.
[1717] Step 2: The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotion
[1718] The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions, voice, text, etc. to recognize the user's emotional state, for example, determining whether the user is happy, excited, calm, etc.
[1719] Step 3: The device sends the input data and emotion data to the server.
[1720] The device sends the design requirement data and emotion data entered by the user to the server via an HTTP POST request.
[1721] Step 4: The server parses the data
[1722] The server analyzes the received design requirements and emotion data. It uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to extract necessary information from the design requirements and combines it with the emotion information obtained from the emotion engine for analysis. For example, it organizes information such as "summer," "casual," "bright color," "breathable," "happy," and "calm."
[1723] Step 5: The server generates a design proposal
[1724] The server uses the AI model to generate design proposals from the analyzed requirements and sentiment data, taking into account the following factors:
[1725] Color suggestions: Select the optimal color combination based on color theory and the latest trend data. For example, if the emotion is "happiness," suggest "yellow" or "light blue."
[1726] Shape suggestions: We suggest the best shape and silhouette for each occasion and season, such as "A-line dress" or "midi length."
[1727] Material suggestions: Materials are selected based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, "linen" and "cotton" are suggested.
[1728] Step 6: The server makes a trend prediction
[1729] The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. It collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, and other sources and uses AI to analyze it.
[1730] Step 7: Send the final design to your device
[1731] The generated design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the device, which receives them and displays them to the user, such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[1732] Step 8: User reviews the design
[1733] The user can review the proposed design on their device, provide feedback if necessary, and request revisions to the design by resubmitting it to the server.
[1734] Specific examples
[1735] Example 1: Emotion-based casual summer dress design
[1736] 1. User input: "Casual summer dress," "Bright color," "Breathable material."
[1737] 2. Emotion engine recognizes: User's emotions are "happy" and "excited"
[1738] 3. The device sends input data and emotion data to the server.
[1739] 4. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable, happy, excited)
[1740] 5. Server generated:
[1741] Color suggestions: Yellow, light blue
[1742] Suggested styles: A-line dress, midi length
[1743] Material suggestions: linen, cotton
[1744] 6. Server predicts trend: Minimalist design is in vogue
[1745] 7. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[1746] 8. User confirms: Check the visual image and material details and finalize the design
[1747] Example 2: Emotion-based winter accessories for the office
[1748] 1. User types: "winter office accessories," "elegant design," "silver"
[1749] 2. Emotion engine recognizes: User's emotions are "calm" and "confident"
[1750] 3. The device sends input data and emotion data to the server.
[1751] 4. Server analyzes: extracts keywords (winter, office, elegant, silver, calm, confident)
[1752] 5. Server generated:
[1753] Color suggestions: Silver, black, navy
[1754] Shape suggestion: simple lines, modern design
[1755] Material suggestions: Silver, stainless steel
[1756] 6. Server predicts trend: Minimalist jewelry is trending
[1757] 7. The server sends the design proposal and trend prediction results to the device.
[1758] 8. User review: Check the visual image and material details and request fine-tuning if necessary
[1759] The system takes into account the user's design requirements and emotional state to deliver more personalized and high-quality design suggestions.
[1760] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1761] Step 1:
[1762] The user inputs design requirements using the device interface, for example, specific requirements such as "casual summer dress," "bright color," and "breathable material."
[1763] Step 2:
[1764] The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions, voice, text, etc. to recognize the user's emotional state. For example, it analyzes facial expressions through a camera and identifies emotions such as "happiness" or "excitement."
[1765] Step 3:
[1766] The device sends the input data and emotion data to the server. The device sends the design requirement data entered by the user and the emotion data recognized by the emotion engine to the server. Here, an HTTP POST request is used.
[1767] Step 4:
[1768] The server analyzes the received design requirement data and sentiment data. Using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, it extracts keywords (summer, casual, bright colors, breathable, happy, excited) and organizes them as structured data.
[1769] Step 5:
[1770] The server generates design proposals. Using AI models, the server generates design proposals based on the analyzed design requirements and emotional data. It makes suggestions based on the following factors:
[1771] Color Suggestion: Selects the optimal color combination based on color theory and the latest trend data. For example, if the user is "happy," it will suggest bright colors such as "yellow" and "light blue."
[1772] Shape suggestions: The system suggests the best shape and silhouette for each occasion and season. For example, for "casual dresses," it suggests "A-line dresses" and "midi length."
[1773] Material suggestions: Select materials based on functionality, user requests, and trends. For example, suggest "linen" or "cotton" as "materials with good breathability."
[1774] Step 6:
[1775] The server performs trend prediction. The server analyzes the latest market trends and applies algorithms to predict future trends. For example, it collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, etc. and analyzes it using AI.
[1776] Step 7:
[1777] The server integrates the final design proposal. It integrates design proposals based on color, shape, and material, and incorporates trend forecast results to create the final design proposal.
[1778] Step 8:
[1779] The server sends the final design proposal to the terminal. The server sends the generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal using an HTTP POST request.
[1780] Step 9:
[1781] The terminal displays the received design proposal, providing detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists to the user.
[1782] Step 10:
[1783] The user checks the proposed design. The user checks the proposed design on the terminal and enters feedback as necessary. If corrections are necessary, the requirements are entered again and the process is repeated.
[1784] Example 2
[1785] 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."
[1786] Conventional design generation systems did not consider the user's emotional information when proposing designs, making it difficult to provide designs that satisfied the user. It was also difficult to integrate trend forecasts that reflected the latest market trends into the design. For this reason, there was a need for a system that could provide personalized design proposals that met the user's needs.
[1787] The specification process by the specification 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 accepting design requirements input by the user, means for transmitting the design requirement data and user emotion data to the server, means for analyzing the accepted design requirements and emotion information, means for generating design proposals based on the analyzed design requirements and emotion information, means for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends, means for transmitting the generated design proposals and trend prediction results to the terminal, and means for the user to check the design proposals displayed on the terminal and input feedback. This makes it possible to provide personalized design proposals that reflect the user's emotional state and incorporate trend predictions that reflect the latest market trends into the design.

[1792] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence algorithm that generates optimal design proposals based on design requirements and emotional data.
[1793] "Trend forecasting" is a method of analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future design trends.
[1794] "Feedback" refers to the act of a user inputting comments or requests for corrections to a design proposal.
[1795] "Color theory" is a theory that studies the impressions and psychological effects that specific colors give to people.
[1796] "Shape and silhouette" are design elements that indicate the appearance and placement of an object.
[1797] A "terminal" is a device to which a user can send input data and view generated design proposals.
[1798] This invention relates to a system in which a server analyzes design requirements and emotional information input by a user, generates optimal design proposals, and makes proposals that reflect trend predictions. The system is composed of a terminal, a server, and an emotion engine.

[1845] Specifically, the emotion engine collects facial and voice data from the user via a webcam and microphone, and also analyzes the input text data, allowing it to classify the user's emotional state into categories such as "happy," "excited," or "calm."
[1846] Input: User's facial expression data, voice data, text data
[1847] Output: Analyzed emotion information (categorical data)
[1848] Step 3:
[1849] The terminal transmits the input design requirement data and the analyzed emotion data to the server.
[1850] Specifically, this data is converted into JSON format and sent to the server as an HTTP POST request.
[1851] Input: Design requirements data, emotion data (JSON format)
[1852] Output: HTTP POST request to the server
[1853] Step 4:

[1879] (Application example 2)
[1880] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1881] Conventional design generation systems generate design proposals based solely on user input data. This makes it difficult to propose designs that reflect the user's emotions and psychological state, and fails to sufficiently improve user satisfaction. Furthermore, it is difficult to accurately reflect the latest market trends and future trends, making it an inappropriate solution for virtual stores, which must always incorporate the latest trends.
[1882] The specification processing by the specification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for accepting design requirements input by a user, means for transmitting the design requirement data to the server, means for analyzing the accepted design requirements, means for generating design proposals based on the analyzed design requirements and the user's emotional state, means for analyzing the latest market trends and predicting future trends, means for transmitting the generated design proposals and trend prediction results to the terminal, means for the user to confirm the design proposals displayed on the terminal, and means for recognizing the user's emotional state using facial recognition and voice recognition. This enables personalized design proposals that take the user's emotional state into consideration, thereby increasing user satisfaction. Furthermore, design proposals that reflect the latest market trends and future trends can be made.

[1895] This invention is a system in which a server generates optimal design proposals based on the user's design requirements and emotional information, and makes proposals that reflect the latest market trends. Specifically, the system allows the user to input design requirements using a terminal and recognize emotional information, enabling personalized design proposals.
[1896] Hardware and Software Use
[1897] Device:
[1898] Smartphone (using an application that implements React Native)
[1899] Smartphone camera (using OpenCV for facial recognition)
[1900] Smartphone microphone (voice recognition is performed using the Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API)
[1901] server:
[1902] Server system (built using Python Flask)
[1903] Natural language processing libraries (using SpaCy and GPT-4)
[1904] AI models (using TensorFlow or PyTorch)
[1905] Data processing and calculation
[1906] 1. Design requirements and receiving emotional information:
[1907] The user inputs design requirements, such as "autumn jacket," "warm material," and "modern design," through the smartphone interface. At the same time, the smartphone's camera and microphone are used for facial and voice recognition to capture the user's emotional state (e.g., "relaxed" or "satisfied").
[1908] 2. Data transmission:
[1909] The device sends the user's design requirement data and emotion data to the server via an HTTP POST request.
[1910] 3. Data analysis and design generation:
[1911] The server analyzes the received design requirement data using a natural language processing library (such as SpaCy) to extract keywords. At the same time, it also analyzes sentiment data. Based on this data, it uses an AI model (a generative AI model using TensorFlow or PyTorch) to generate optimal design proposals.
[1912] 4. Trend Forecasting:
[1913] The server collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, and other sources, and uses AI to analyze market trends and predict future trends. These trend predictions are also reflected in design proposals.
[1914] 5. Design proposal submission:
[1915] The final design proposals and trend forecast results are sent from the server to the user's device and displayed for review, allowing the user to check the visual image, color palette, material list, and other details.
[1916] Specific examples
[1917] If a user is looking for a fall jacket:
[1918] The user types "autumn jacket," "warm material," and "modern design" into their smartphone, and the camera and microphone are used to recognize the emotional states of "relaxed" and "satisfied."
[1919] The server analyzes this data and suggests the most suitable color (e.g., "olive green" or "brown"), shape (e.g., "slim fit"), material (e.g., "wool"), etc.
[1920] The server analyzes the latest market trends and sends the generated design proposals and trend forecast results to the smartphone.
[1921] The user checks visual images and detailed design proposals and makes the final selection.
[1922] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1923] "Generate detailed design proposals for a fall jacket made of warm material with a modern design that is perfect for customers with a relaxed feel."
[1924] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1925] Step 1:
[1926] The user inputs the design requirements. Using the smartphone interface, the user inputs design requirements such as "autumn jacket," "warm material," and "modern design" in text. This input serves as the basis for data processing in each subsequent step.
[1927] Step 2:
[1928] The device recognizes emotional information. It uses the smartphone's camera and microphone to capture the user's facial expressions and voice, and then performs facial recognition (using OpenCV) and voice recognition (using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API). Through this process, the device identifies the user's emotional state as "relaxed" or "satisfied," for example. Emotional information is extracted from the user's facial expression and voice data using an emotion recognition algorithm.
[1929] Step 3:
[1930] The terminal sends the design requirement data and emotion data to the server. The terminal sends the design requirement data and emotion data entered by the user to the server via an HTTP POST request. The sent data includes text (design requirement) and emotion state (relaxed, satisfied, etc.).
[1931] Step 4:
[1932] The server analyzes the data. The server uses natural language processing (SpaCy or GPT-4) to analyze the received design requirement data and extract keywords. At the same time, it also analyzes the emotional data. As a result of this analysis, keywords such as "autumn," "jacket," "warm," and "modern" and emotional states such as "relaxed" and "satisfied" are obtained.
[1933] Step 5:
[1934] The server generates design proposals using a generative AI model (using TensorFlow or PyTorch) based on the analyzed requirements and sentiment data. The server suggests optimal colors ("olive green" or "brown"), shapes ("slim fit"), and materials ("wool"), for example. The AI model is trained on a large amount of design data and generates design proposals by referencing related data.
[1935] Step 6:
[1936] The server analyzes the latest market trends and makes trend predictions. The server collects data from online fashion blogs, social media, shopping sites, etc. and uses AI to analyze market trends. Based on these results, future trends are predicted and incorporated into design proposals.
[1937] Step 7:
[1938] The server sends the generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal. The server then sends the final generated design proposal and trend prediction results to the terminal as an HTTP response, which includes detailed information such as visual images, color palettes, and material lists.
[1939] Step 8:
[1940] The user checks the proposed design on their device. The user can check the design proposals and trend prediction results sent to the device on their smartphone screen and make corrections or feedback as necessary. For example, they can input a request for correction, such as "I want the color to be a little darker," and send it back to the server to fine-tune the design.
[1941] The above is the flow of specific processing steps, which enables personalized design proposals based on the user's needs and emotions.
[1942] 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.
[1943] 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.
[1944] 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.
[1945] 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.
[1946] FIG. 9 illustrates 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 behaviors 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.
[1947] 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.
[1948] 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).
[1949] 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.
[1950] 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."
[1951] 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.
[1952] 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).
[1953] 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.
[1954] 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.
[1955] 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.
[1956] 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.
[1957] 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.
[1958] 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.
[1959] 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.
[1960] 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.
[1961] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
