[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. Components having the same functions are given the same numbers, and duplicated explanations will be omitted. [Example]

[0010] "Mental state emotion expression words" express the user's mental state at a certain point in time, and are a general term for words categorized as at least one of onomatopoeia and exclamation. Onomatopoeia is also a general term for words categorized as at least one of onomatopoeia, mimetic words, and emotional words. Here, onomatopoeia is a word that expresses an actual sound with linguistic sounds, mimetic words are a word that expresses a non-sound sensation with linguistic sounds, and emotional words are a word that expresses a psychological state with linguistic sounds. Exclamations are also sometimes called interjections. Below, we will explain the case where the mental state emotion expression words are onomatopoeia, but the same processing can be applied to the case where they are exclamations.

[0011] Fig. 1 shows an example of the functional configuration of the mental state visualization device of Example 1. Fig. 2 shows an example of the processing flow of the mental state visualization device of Example 1. The mental state visualization device 100 includes an illustration-expression DB 180, an expression-deep psychology DB 190, an illustration input unit 110, an illustration-expression processing unit 120, and a deep psychology search unit 130. The mental state visualization device 100 may also include a deep psychology extraction unit 140, a display unit 150, and a weight update unit 160.

[0012] The illustration-expression DB 180 is a database that associates illustrations with emotional expressions of psychological states. Figure 3 shows a first example of associating illustrations with onomatopoeia, and Figure 4 shows a second example of associating illustrations with onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia can express both positive and negative psychological states. Furthermore, the illustrations do not necessarily have to be people or characters; they can also be objects. It is desirable for the illustrations to be simple so that one emotional expression of psychological states can be associated with them. The illustration-expression DB 180 may include both the example of Figure 3 and the example of Figure 4. In other words, there may be multiple illustrations that are associated with the same emotional expression of psychological states.

[0013] The expression-deep psychology DB 190 is a database in which psychological state emotion expressions and deep psychology are associated with weights. FIG. 5 shows a first example in which onomatopoeia and deep psychology are associated with weights. In this example, terms related to Buddhist earthly desires are used as the deep psychology. FIG. 6 shows a second example in which onomatopoeia and deep psychology are associated with weights. In this example, terms related to the seven deadly sins of Christianity are used as the deep psychology. Religious terms such as these may be used as long as they are easy for users to understand. FIG. 7 shows a third example in which onomatopoeia and deep psychology are associated with weights. In this example, terms related to general emotions (Atlas of Emotions) are used as the deep psychology. In this way, general terms may also be used. The weights may be initially set based on a survey of experts, etc., and then modified as appropriate using the weight update unit 160, which will be described later.

[0014] The user inputs an illustration to the illustration input unit 110 (S110). The illustration-expression processing unit 120 outputs data indicating a psychological state affective expression based on the illustration and the illustration-expression DB (S120). The "data indicating a psychological state affective expression" may be a character string of a psychological state affective expression, or a symbol or numerical value that identifies the psychological state affective expression. It is sufficient that the deep psychology search unit 130, which will be described later, can identify the psychological state affective expression.

[0015] The illustration input unit 110 may, for example, present illustrations recorded in the illustration-expression DB 180 to the user and allow the user to select an illustration. In this case, the illustration-expression processing unit 120 may output data indicating the psychological state sensibility expression word associated with the illustration selected by the user.

[0016] The illustration input unit 110 may receive as input an illustration drawn by the user or an illustration selected by the user from among illustrations other than those recorded in the illustration-expression DB 180. In this case, the illustration-expression processing unit 120 selects a similar illustration from among the illustrations recorded in the illustration-expression DB 180 using existing matching technology or the like. Either one illustration or multiple illustrations may be selected. When selecting one illustration, the illustration-expression processing unit 120 may output data indicating the psychological state affective expression words associated with the selected illustration. When selecting multiple illustrations, the illustration-expression processing unit 120 may set a proportion for each illustration taking into consideration the similarity, and output the data indicating the psychological state affective expression words associated with the selected illustration with the proportions attached.

[0017] The deep psychology search unit 130 outputs a predetermined number of deep psychology corresponding to the psychological state affective expression words based on the expression-deep psychology DB 190 (S130). The deep psychology search unit 130 identifies psychological state affective expression words from data indicating the psychological state affective expression words received from the illustration-expression processing unit 120. The deep psychology corresponding to the identified psychological state affective expression words may be output in order of weight. When data indicating multiple psychological state affective expression words with percentages assigned from the illustration-expression processing unit 120 is output, the deep psychology corresponding to the identified psychological state affective expression words may be output in order of weight, for example, by multiplying the weights by the percentages. The "predetermined number" may be set to a large number, such as 100, to be displayed to the user. Note that the "predetermined number" needs to be equal to or larger than the "second predetermined number" described below. The deep psychology search unit 130 may output a limited number of deep psychology words. By "deep psychological types" we mean types that take into account differences in terminology such as Buddhist terms relating to earthly desires, Christian terms relating to the seven deadly sins, and terms relating to general emotions.

[0018] The deep psychology extraction unit 140 extracts a predetermined second number of deep psychology from the predetermined number of deep psychology (S140). The "predetermined second number" may be a number to be displayed to the user. For example, it may be a value such as 3 or 5. It may be set by the user himself or by the provider of the psychological state visualization device 100. The display unit 150 displays the predetermined second number of deep psychology (S150).

[0019] The weight update unit 160 updates the weight of the expression-deep psychology DB (S160). When the user feels that the displayed deep psychology is correct, the weight of the expression-deep psychology DB190 of the presented deep psychology is made heavier. On the other hand, when the user feels that it is different, the weight of the expression-deep psychology DB190 of the presented deep psychology is made lighter. The extent to which the weight is changed can be determined appropriately. By providing the weight update unit 160, the weight can be changed to a more appropriate value as the psychological state visualization device 100 is used, thereby making it possible to visualize the psychological state more appropriately.

[0020] According to the psychological state visualization device of Example 1, illustrations are weighted and associated with deep psychology via psychological state sensibility expressions. Because illustrations are intuitively easy to understand, even non-experts can easily intuitively associate their own psychological state with the systematized deep psychology. [Example]

[0021] Fig. 8 shows an example of the functional configuration of the mental state visualization device of Example 2. Fig. 9 shows an example of the processing flow of the mental state visualization device of Example 2. The mental state visualization device 101 includes an illustration-deep psychology DB 181, an illustration input unit 110, and a deep psychology search unit 131. The mental state visualization device 101 may also include a deep psychology extraction unit 140, a display unit 150, and a weight update unit 160. The illustration input unit 110, the deep psychology extraction unit 140, the display unit 150, and the weight update unit 160 are the same as those in Example 1.

[0022] The illustration-deep psychology DB181 is a database in which illustrations and deep psychology are associated with weights. Figure 10 shows an example of weighted association between illustrations and deep psychology. In this example, as in Figure 5, terms related to Buddhist earthly desires are used for the deep psychology. Different terms may also be used, as in Figures 6 and 7.

[0023] The deep psychology search unit 131 outputs a predetermined number of deep psychology corresponding to the illustration based on the illustration-deep psychology DB 181 (S131). When the illustration input unit 110 allows the user to select an illustration from the illustrations recorded in the illustration-deep psychology DB 181, the deep psychology search unit 131 may output the deep psychology associated with the illustration selected by the user.

[0024] The illustration input unit 110 may also receive as input an illustration drawn by the user or an illustration selected by the user from among illustrations other than those recorded in the illustration-deep psychology DB 181. In this case, the deep psychology search unit 131 selects a similar illustration from among the illustrations recorded in the illustration-deep psychology DB 181 using existing matching technology or the like. Either one illustration or multiple illustrations may be selected. When selecting one illustration, the deep psychology search unit 131 simply outputs the deep psychology associated with the selected illustration. When selecting multiple illustrations, the deep psychology search unit 131 simply sets a proportion for each illustration taking into account the similarity, and assigns the proportion to the deep psychology associated with the selected illustration before outputting it. The deep psychology search unit 131 then multiplies the weight assigned to the deep psychology by the proportion, and outputs the resulting values ​​in order.

[0025] According to the psychological state visualization device of Example 2, illustrations are weighted and associated with deep psychology. Because illustrations are intuitively easy to understand, even non-experts can easily intuitively associate their own psychological state with the systematized deep psychology.

[0026] [Processor, program, recording medium] The functions performed by the components described herein may be implemented in circuitry or processing circuitry, including general-purpose processors, application-specific processors, integrated circuits, ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), a CPU (a Central Processing Unit), conventional circuits, and / or combinations thereof, programmed to perform the described functions. A processor includes transistors and other circuits and is considered to be circuitry or processing circuitry. A processor may also be a programmed processor that executes programs stored in memory.

[0027] In this specification, a circuitry, unit, or means is hardware that is programmed to realize or performs the described functions, which may be any hardware disclosed herein or any hardware known to be programmed to realize or perform the described functions.

[0028] If the hardware is a processor considered to be a type of circuitry, the circuitry, means, or unit is a combination of the hardware and software used to configure the hardware and / or processor.

[0029] The various processes described above can be implemented by loading a program that executes each step of the above method into the recording unit 2020 of the computer 2000 shown in Figure 11 and operating the control unit 2010, input unit 2030, output unit 2040, display unit 2050, etc.

[0030] The program describing the processing contents can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, which may be, for example, a magnetic recording device, an optical disk, a magneto-optical recording medium, a semiconductor memory, or any other suitable recording medium.

[0031] The program may be distributed, for example, by selling, transferring, lending, etc. a portable recording medium such as a DVD or CD-ROM on which the program is recorded. Furthermore, the program may be stored in a storage device of a server computer, and then transferred from the server computer to another computer via a network, thereby distributing the program.

[0032] A computer that executes such a program may first temporarily store the program recorded on a portable recording medium or transferred from a server computer in its own storage device. Then, when executing a process, the computer reads the program stored on its own recording medium and executes the process in accordance with the read program. Alternatively, the computer may read the program directly from a portable recording medium and execute the process in accordance with the program. Furthermore, the computer may execute the process in accordance with the program each time a program is transferred from a server computer to the computer. The server computer may not transfer the program to the computer, but may instead execute the process through a so-called ASP (Application Service Provider) service, which realizes the processing function by issuing an execution instruction and obtaining the results. Furthermore, the server computer may execute the process on a terminal using a so-called SaaS (Software as a Service) service, which allows users to use part of the server computer along with the program. In this embodiment, the program includes information used for computer processing that is equivalent to a program (such as data that is not a direct instruction to the computer but has properties that define computer processing).

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the device is configured by executing a predetermined program on a computer, but at least a part of the processing contents may be realized by hardware. [Explanation of symbols]
