[0037] The following system and its operation will be described as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. This system aims to allow users to easily log in and securely obtain, verify, and issue necessary information.
[0038] System Configuration
[0039] This system consists of the following main components:
[0040] 1. User terminal: A device used by a user to access and operate something (e.g., a PC or smartphone).
[0041] 2. Server: A computer system that performs user authentication, extracts information from a database, and carries out necessary procedures.
[0042] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, permission information, and other related data.
[0043] Program Processing Overview
[0044] certification
[0045] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server uses the received authentication information to query the database and verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[0046] Permission confirmation
[0047] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[0048] Data Extraction
[0049] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information. If necessary, information can also be retrieved from the OpenAI® database.
[0050] Information provision
[0051] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, which then displays the information to the user. For example, if a user requests a card, the necessary information for that request will be displayed. When the user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Issue" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the issuance process.
[0052] Issuance procedure
[0053] Based on the necessary information, the server calls APIs to external card issuance and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[0054] Specific example
[0055] 1. The process from login to authentication
[0056] The user enters a username and password to log in to the system, and the terminal sends that information to the server.
[0057] The server performs authentication, and if successful, displays the main menu on the terminal.
[0058] 2. Confirmation of permission to access information
[0059] A user requests access to specific information, and the device sends that request to the server.
[0060] The server checks the permission information and, if necessary, obtains permission from the user via the terminal.
[0061] 3. Data Extraction and Information Provision
[0062] The server extracts the necessary information from the database and sends it to the terminal.
[0063] The device displays the information to the user, and the user confirms it.
[0064] 4. Issuance Procedure
[0065] The user submits an issuance request, which is then sent to the server.
[0066] The server performs the issuance procedure through an external service and sends the completion result to the terminal.
[0067] The device displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[0068] Thus, the present invention is a system that enables users to safely and efficiently manage their personal information and to quickly receive necessary services.
[0069] The following describes the processing flow.
[0070] Step 1:
[0071] The user clicks the "Login" button. The device prompts the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the required information and clicks the "Submit" button.
[0072] Step 2:
[0073] The terminal sends the entered username and password to the server.
[0074] Step 3:
[0075] Based on the authentication information received by the server, it queries the database to check if the user exists and verifies whether the password matches.
[0076] Step 4:
[0077] The server returns the authentication result to the terminal. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal. If authentication fails, an error message is displayed.
[0078] Step 5:
[0079] The user selects the "Request Information Access" option from the main menu. The terminal then prompts the user to choose the type of information they want to access.
[0080] Step 6:
[0081] The user selects the type of information and clicks the "Send" button. The device sends the selected information to the server.
[0082] Step 7:
[0083] The server queries the database to check the permission status for the target information.
[0084] Step 8:
[0085] The server returns the permission status to the terminal. If permission is required, a prompt will be displayed to the user via the terminal requesting permission.
[0086] Step 9:
[0087] If the user grants permission, they click the "Grant Permission" button. The device then sends the user's permission to the server.
[0088] Step 10:
[0089] The server verifies the permission information and extracts the necessary information from the database. If the required information is distributed across multiple databases, it retrieves the information from all of them.
[0090] Step 11:
[0091] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal. The terminal then displays the extracted information to the user.
[0092] Step 12:
[0093] The user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Publish" button. The terminal sends the user's publication request to the server.
[0094] Step 13:
[0095] The server calls APIs to external card issuance services and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process.
[0096] Step 14:
[0097] The server sends the issuance completion result to the terminal. The terminal displays an issuance completion message to the user.
[0098] Step 15:
[0099] The user should confirm the issuance completion message and take the following actions as needed.
[0100] (Example 1)
[0101] Next, we will describe Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the smart device 14 will be referred to as the "terminal."
[0102] In recent years, ensuring the security and efficiency of access to users' personal and confidential information has become crucial. Conventional systems often involve cumbersome processes for user authentication, access permission, and information extraction and issuance, sometimes lacking security. This invention aims to solve these problems and provide a system that allows users to safely and efficiently obtain and issue the information they need.
[0103] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 1 is realized by the following means.
[0104] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to log in using identification information, means for a data processing device to verify the user's authentication information, means for a communication terminal to obtain permission from the user, means for a data processing device to extract necessary information from a data storage device, means for a communication terminal to provide the extracted information to the user as a display means, means for a data processing device to perform an issuance procedure for specified information, and means for a data processing device to perform the issuance procedure by calling an API to an external service. This enables the user to perform a series of steps securely and efficiently.
[0105] A "user" refers to a person or entity that uses a system to access information and perform specific operations.
[0106] "Identification information" refers to information that a user provides to a system to identify themselves, and generally includes a username and password.
[0107] A "data processing device" refers to a computer system that processes data based on user requests and performs authentication, information extraction, permission verification, and issuance procedures.
[0108] A "communication terminal" is a device used by a user to access and operate a system, and generally includes PCs and smartphones.
[0109] "Permission" refers to the authorization a user needs to access specific information, and this authorization is obtained through prompts provided by the system.
[0110] A "data storage device" refers to a database or storage system used to store user information, permission information, and other related data.
[0111] "API" stands for Application Programming Interface, and refers to an interface for exchanging information and functions between different software systems.
[0112] A "prompt" refers to a message or screen display that prompts the user to perform a specific action or input.
[0113] "External services" refer to service providers or product providers that exist outside the system, and include, for example, card issuance services and insurance card issuance services.
[0114] The following system and its operation will be described as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. The purpose of this system is for users to log in safely and efficiently and to obtain, verify, and issue necessary information.
[0115] System Configuration
[0116] 1. User terminal
[0117] A device used by users to access and operate a system. Specific examples include PCs (personal computers) and smartphones.
[0118] 2. Server
[0119] A data processing device that performs user authentication and carries out procedures for extracting and issuing information. This includes web servers and database servers, and software such as Apache® and Nginx, and databases such as MySQL® and PostgreSQL are sometimes used.
[0120] 3. Database
[0121] A data storage device that stores user information, permission information, and other related data. Specific examples include RDBMS (Relational Database Management Systems) such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
[0122] Program Processing Overview
[0123] certification
[0124] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server then queries the database based on the received authentication information to verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[0125] Permission confirmation
[0126] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[0127] Data Extraction
[0128] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information. If necessary, it can also call APIs of external services to retrieve additional information.
[0129] Information provision
[0130] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, which then displays the information to the user. For example, if a user requests a card, the necessary information for that request will be displayed. When the user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Issue" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the issuance process.
[0131] Issuance procedure
[0132] Based on the necessary information, the server calls APIs to external services (e.g., card issuance services or insurance card issuance services) to perform the issuance process. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, which then displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[0133] Specific example
[0134] For example, a user enters a username and password to log in to the system, and the terminal sends this information to the server. The server performs authentication, and if successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal. When the user requests access to specific customer information, the terminal sends the request to the server, and the server checks the permission information. If permission is not granted, a prompt requesting permission is displayed through the terminal. If the user grants permission, the server updates the permission information in the database, extracts the necessary information, and sends it to the terminal. The user checks the displayed information and requests, for example, "card issuance." The terminal sends this request to the server, the server calls an API of an external service to perform the issuance procedure, sends the result to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message indicating that the issuance is complete.
[0135] Example of a prompt
[0136] "Design a system where users log in by entering a username and password."
[0137] "Please explain how to send authentication information to the server and verify it from the database."
[0138] "Please describe in detail the permission verification process for accessing specific information."
[0139] "Please provide a search algorithm to extract the necessary information from the database."
[0140] "Please explain how to complete card issuance by calling an external service's API."
[0141] In this way, the system of the present invention manages personal information safely and efficiently and provides necessary services quickly.
[0142] The flow of the specific processing in Example 1 will be explained using Figure 11.
[0143] Step 1:
[0144] The user accesses the login screen. The user opens a browser on their PC or smartphone, enters the specified URL, and reaches the login screen. Input: URL. Output: Display of the login screen.
[0145] Step 2:
[0146] The user enters their username and password and submits. Input: Username, Password. Output: User authentication information ready to be sent.
[0147] Step 3:
[0148] The terminal encrypts the authentication information entered by the user and sends it to the server. HTTPS is used as the communication protocol to ensure the security of the information. Input: Authentication information (username, password). Output: HTTPS request containing encrypted authentication information.
[0149] Step 4:
[0150] The server receives encrypted authentication information and queries the database for that information. The server first decrypts the received data and then sends an SQL query to the database (e.g., MySQL). Input: Encrypted authentication information. Output: Authentication result obtained via SQL query.
[0151] Step 5:
[0152] The server receives the authentication result from the database and, if authentication is successful, sends an authentication success response to the terminal. Input: Authentication result from the database. Output: Authentication success response to the terminal.
[0153] Step 6:
[0154] The device receives a successful authentication response and displays the main menu. Input: Successful authentication response. Output: Display of the main menu.
[0155] Step 7:
[0156] A user requests access to specific information. For example, by clicking on specific customer information in the main menu. Input: User's access request. Output: Preparation for sending the access request.
[0157] Step 8:
[0158] The terminal sends an access request to the server. Input: Access request. Output: HTTPS request containing the access request.
[0159] Step 9:
[0160] The server receives the access request and checks the database for permission information. It then uses an SQL query again to verify if the user has permission to access the requested information. Input: Access request. Output: Permission information check result.
[0161] Step 10:
[0162] The server sends the permission information verification result to the terminal. If permission is not granted, a prompt requesting permission is displayed through the terminal. Input: Permission information verification result. Output: Instruction to display the permission prompt.
[0163] Step 11:
[0164] The terminal displays a permission prompt to the user. Input: Instruction to display the permission prompt. Output: Display of the permission prompt.
[0165] Step 12:
[0166] The user clicks the "Allow" button on the prompt to grant permission. Input: The click action to grant permission. Output: The decision to grant permission.
[0167] Step 13:
[0168] The device sends a permission decision to the server. Input: Permission decision. Output: HTTPS request containing permission information.
[0169] Step 14:
[0170] The server updates the database permissions and then sends another SQL query to extract the information the user needs. Input: Permission information. Output: SQL query for information extraction.
[0171] Step 15:
[0172] The server extracts information from the database and sends it to the terminal. Input: SQL query for information extraction. Output: Response containing the extracted information.
[0173] Step 16:
[0174] The terminal receives the extracted information and displays it to the user. Input: Response containing the extracted information. Output: Display of the information.
[0175] Step 17:
[0176] The user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Publish" button. Input: Publish request operation. Output: Preparation for sending the publish request.
[0177] Step 18:
[0178] The terminal sends an issue request to the server. Input: Issue request. Output: HTTPS request containing the issue request.
[0179] Step 19:
[0180] The server receives the issuance request and calls an external service API (e.g., a card issuance service) to perform the issuance procedure. The API request includes the necessary information (e.g., user information, card information). Input: Issuance request. Output: Sending the API request.
[0181] Step 20:
[0182] The server receives the completion result of the issuance procedure from an external service and sends the result to the terminal. Input: API response. Output: Sending of issuance completion result.
[0183] Step 21:
[0184] The terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete. Input: Issuance completion result. Output: Display of the issuance completion message.
[0185] As described above, this system's program allows users to safely and efficiently obtain information and receive specific services through a series of steps.
[0186] (Application Example 1)
[0187] Next, we will explain Application Example 1. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the smart device 14 will be referred to as the "terminal."
[0188] Traditional food delivery services have faced problems such as the cumbersome login process for users and the lack of efficiency in managing order history and coupon information. Furthermore, the user authorization process was complicated, and the coupon issuance process was not smooth.
[0189] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 1 is realized by the following means.

This system aims to allow users to easily log in, manage their order history and coupon information when using a food delivery service, and quickly and securely obtain, verify, and issue information.
[0203] System Configuration
[0204] This system consists of the following main components:
[0205] 1. User terminal: A device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) that the user uses to access and operate the food delivery service.
[0206] 2. Server: A computer system used for user authentication, extracting information from the database, and issuing coupons.
[0207] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, order history, coupon information, and other related data.
[0208] Program Processing Overview
[0209] certification
[0210] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server uses the received authentication information to query the database and verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[0211] Permission confirmation
[0212] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[0213] Data Extraction
[0214] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database—for example, order history and coupon information. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information.
[0215] Information provision
[0216] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, and the terminal displays that information to the user. For example, if a user requests a coupon, the necessary information will be displayed. After the user confirms the information and clicks the "Issue Coupon" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the coupon issuance process.
[0217] Issuance procedure
[0218] Based on the necessary information, the server calls an API to an internal or external coupon issuance service to perform the coupon issuance procedure. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[0219] Hardware / software to use
[0220] Hardware:
[0221] smartphone
[0222] Server (cloud server or on-premises)

[0278] The above is the specific processing flow in the system that uses the food delivery service.
[0279] Furthermore, an emotion engine for estimating the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the specific processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion recognition model 59 and perform specific processing using the user's emotion.
[0280] As a form for implementing the present invention, the following system and its operation will be described. The present invention adds a function for the user to recognize emotions using an emotion engine and dynamically adjust responses based on them.
[0281] Configuration of the system
[0282] This system is composed of the following main components.
[0283] 1. User terminal: A device (such as a PC or smartphone) for the user to access and perform operations.
[0284] 2. Server: A computer system that performs user authentication, extracts information from the database, and implements the issuance procedure.
[0285] 3. Database: A system for storing user information, permission information, and other related data.
[0286] 4. Emotion engine: An engine for recognizing the user's emotion and providing that information to the system.
[0287] Outline of program processing
[0288] certification
[0289] The user enters their username and password to log in to the system. The terminal sends this information to the server. The server queries the database for authentication information and performs authentication. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[0290] Permission confirmation
[0291] When a user requests access to information, the device sends the request to the server. The server queries the database to check the permission status. If permission is required, the device displays a prompt requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server.
[0292] emotion recognition
[0293] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and facial expressions and sends the results to the server. The server dynamically adjusts its response based on the recognized emotions.
[0294] Data Extraction
[0295] The server extracts the necessary information from the database. If needed, it can also retrieve relevant information from the OpenAI database.
[0296] Information provision
[0297] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal, which then provides that information to the user. The user then verifies the displayed information.
[0298] Issuance procedure
[0299] When the user requests issuance, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server calls an API to perform procedures on an external issuance service. When the issuance is completed, the result is sent to the terminal and the user is notified.
[0300] Specific Example
[0301] 1. Process from Login to Authentication
[0302] The user enters a username and password to log in.
[0303] The terminal sends the authentication information to the server, and the server performs authentication.
[0304] If the authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed.
[0305] 2. Emotion Recognition and Permission Confirmation
[0306] When the user requests information access, the terminal activates the emotion engine to recognize the user's emotion.
[0307] The recognized emotion information is sent to the server, and the server dynamically adjusts the response based on that information.
[0308] The terminal obtains permission from the user as needed.
[0309] 3. Information Extraction and Provision
[0310] The server extracts information from the database and sends it to the terminal. <The server performs the issuance procedure and sends the completion result to the terminal.
[0315] The device displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[0316] Thus, the present invention is a system that uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions and dynamically adjusts the system's overall response based on that information. This improves the user experience.
[0317] The following describes the processing flow.
[0318] Step 1:
[0319] The user clicks the "Login" button. The device prompts the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the required information and clicks the "Submit" button.
[0320] Step 2:
[0321] The terminal sends the entered username and password to the server.
[0322] Step 3:
[0323] Based on the authentication information received by the server, it queries the database to check if the user exists and verifies whether the password matches.
[0324] Step 4:
[0325] The server returns the authentication result to the terminal. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[0326] Step 5:
[0327] The user selects the "Request Information Access" option from the main menu. The terminal then prompts the user to choose the type of information they want to access.
[0328] Step 6:
[0329] The user selects the type of information and clicks the "Send" button. The device sends the selected information to the server.
[0330] Step 7:
[0331] The server queries the database to check the permission status for the target information.
[0332] Step 8:
[0333] The server returns the permission status to the terminal. If permission is required, the terminal will display a prompt requesting permission. If the user grants permission, they click the "Grant Permission" button.
[0334] Step 9:
[0335] The device activates its emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. It analyzes voice, facial expressions, text input, etc., to obtain the user's emotion data.
[0336] Step 10:
[0337] The emotion engine sends the recognized emotion data to the server.
[0338] Step 11:
[0339] The server analyzes emotional data and dynamically adjusts its response. For example, if the user is irritated, it displays an appropriate message.
[0340] Step 12:
[0341] The server verifies the permission information and extracts the necessary information from the database. If necessary, it retrieves information from multiple databases.
[0342] Step 13:
[0343] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal. The terminal then displays that information to the user.
[0344] Step 14:
[0345] The user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Publish" button. The terminal sends the user's publication request to the server.
[0346] Step 15:
[0347] The server calls APIs to external card issuance services and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process.
[0348] Step 16:
[0349] The server sends the issuance completion result to the terminal. The terminal displays an issuance completion message to the user.
[0350] Step 17:
[0351] The user should confirm the issuance completion message and take the following actions as needed.
[0352] This processing flow allows users to enjoy a secure and efficient information access and publishing process, including emotion recognition.
[0353] (Example 2)
[0354] Next, we will describe Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the smart device 14 as the "terminal".
[0355] Conventional systems could perform user authentication, data extraction, and information provision, but they lacked the ability to provide dynamic responses that took user emotions into account. As a result, the user experience was uniform, and it was difficult to optimize responses and processing according to the emotional state of individual users.
[0356] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means.
[0357] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to log in using an account, means for verifying authentication information, means for extracting necessary information from a database, means for the terminal to recognize the user's emotions, and means for dynamically adjusting the response based on the emotion recognition information. This makes it possible to recognize the user's emotions using an emotion engine and dynamically adjust the system's overall response based on that information.
[0358] "The means by which a user logs in using an account" refers to the process by which a user enters their identification information (such as a username and password) to gain access to the system.
[0359] "Means by which the server verifies user authentication information" refers to the process by which the server compares the authentication information sent by the user with a database to verify the user's legitimacy.
[0360] "Means by which a device obtains permission from a user" refers to the methods and processes by which a device requests permission from a user for specific operations or data access, and obtains that permission.
[0361] "The means by which a server extracts necessary information from a database" refers to the process by which a server retrieves specific information from a database using queries or other methods.
[0362] "Means by which a terminal provides extracted information to a user" refers to the methods and processes by which a terminal displays information sent from a server to a user.
[0363] "Means by which a server performs the procedure for issuing specified information" refers to the process by which a server performs the necessary procedures with an external issuing service and issues the specified information.
[0364] "Means of emotion recognition for a device to recognize a user's emotions" refers to the technology and process used by a device to analyze a user's voice, facial expressions, etc., using emotion recognition technology to recognize those emotions.
[0365] "Means by which a server dynamically adjusts its response based on emotion recognition information" refers to the processes and methods by which a server dynamically changes the system's response based on user emotion information obtained through emotion recognition means.

[0522] 2. Server: A computer system that performs user authentication, analyzes emotional data, and dynamically adjusts the response content.
[0523] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, permission information, and other related data.
[0524] 4. Emotion Engine: An engine that recognizes the user's emotions and sends the results to the server.
[0525] Program Processing Overview
[0526] certification
[0527] To log in to the system, the user enters their account information. The terminal sends this information to the server, which queries the database for authentication information to perform the authentication. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed to the user; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[0528] emotion recognition
[0529] The device activates an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and facial expressions and sends the results to a server. Smart glasses equipped with a camera and microphone are used as the emotion engine.
[0530] Dynamic adjustment of response
[0531] The server dynamically adjusts its response based on emotional information sent from the emotion engine. This adjustment includes providing product suggestions and discount coupons tailored to the user's emotional state, thereby improving the user experience.
[0532] Information Extraction
[0533] The server extracts the necessary information from the database. Sentimental information is also considered to ensure that the appropriate information is extracted.
[0534] Information provision
[0535] The server extracts information and sends it to the terminal, which then provides that information to the user. The user reviews the displayed information and takes appropriate actions, such as pressing a purchase button.
[0536] Issuance procedure
[0537] When a user requests the issuance of information or a service, the device sends the request to the server. The server then calls an API or other method to an external issuance service to perform the necessary procedures. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the device and notified to the user.
[0538] Specific example
[0539] For example, if a user is browsing the luxury watch section in a virtual store, and their facial expression is recognized as "surprise," the server will offer a detailed explanation of the luxury and rarity of the watch, along with a discount coupon, thereby increasing the user's desire to purchase.
[0540] Example of a prompt
[0541] "The emotion engine detected 'surprise' when the user was viewing a luxury watch. Please advise on what kind of product descriptions and suggestions would be effective in increasing the user's purchase intent."
[0542] In this way, the user experience can be improved through dynamic response adjustments based on emotional information.
[0543] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.
[0544] Step 1:
[0545] The user enters their account information (username, password) using their device and logs in.
[0546] Input: User-entered account information
[0547] Data processing: The terminal sends the entered account information to the server.

[0556] Input: Authentication result from the server
[0557] Data processing: Screen display based on authentication results
[0558] Output: Display of the main menu or error messages
[0559] Step 4:
[0560] When a user requests to view products or access information, the device activates an emotion engine to capture the user's voice and facial expressions.
[0561] Input: User information access request
[0562] Data collection: Capture of voice and facial expression data using an emotion engine (camera and microphone in smart glasses).
[0563] Output: Captured audio and facial expression data
[0564] Step 5:
[0565] The emotion engine analyzes captured audio and facial expression data to recognize the user's emotions.
[0566] Input: Captured audio and facial expression data
[0567] Data processing: Analysis using emotion recognition algorithms
[0568] Output: Recognized emotion data (e.g., surprise, joy, sadness, etc.)
[0569] Step 6:
[0570] The server receives recognized emotion data and dynamically adjusts its response.
[0571] Input: Emotional data sent from the emotion engine.
[0572] Data processing: Generate appropriate responses based on sentiment data (e.g., product suggestions, discount coupon offers).
[0573] Output: Dynamically adjusted response content
[0574] Step 7:
[0575] The server extracts the necessary information from the database and incorporates it into the response.
[0576] Input: Request for necessary information
[0577] Data retrieval: Information extraction through database queries.
[0578] Output: Response content including extracted information
[0579] Step 8:
[0580] The server sends the response to the terminal, and the terminal provides that information to the user.
[0581] Input: Response sent from the server
[0582] Data processing: Preparing the response content for display.
[0583] Output: The response provided to the user (e.g., screen display, audio announcement)
[0584] Step 9:
[0585] When a user requests the issuance of specified information or services, the device sends that information to the server.
[0586] Input: User's Issue Request
[0587] Data transmission: Sending a request to the server.
[0588] Output: Sending a publishing request to the server
[0589] Step 10:
[0590] The server calls APIs or other methods to external publishing services to perform procedures and then sends the results to the terminal.
[0591] Input: Issue request data
[0592] Data processing: Issuance procedures via external API calls
[0593] Output: Results of the issuance procedure
[0594] Step 11:
[0595] The terminal notifies the user of the result of the issuance procedure.
[0596] Input: Result of the issuance procedure from the server
[0597] Data processing: Preparing to display the publication results.
[0598] Output: Notification to the user (e.g., screen display, message)
[0599] The above outlines the specific processing steps of the system that implements the application example.
[0600] 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 user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating 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.
[0601] Data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (registered trademark) (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include the following.

[0615] Next, the identification processing performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 will be described. 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".
[0616] The following system and its operation will be described as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. This system aims to allow users to easily log in and securely obtain, verify, and issue necessary information.
[0617] System Configuration
[0618] This system consists of the following main components:
[0619] 1. User terminal: A device used by a user to access and operate something (e.g., a PC or smartphone).
[0620] 2. Server: A computer system that performs user authentication, extracts information from a database, and carries out necessary procedures.
[0621] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, permission information, and other related data.
[0622] Program Processing Overview
[0623] certification
[0624] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server uses the received authentication information to query the database and verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[0625] Permission confirmation
[0626] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[0627] Data Extraction
[0628] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information. If necessary, information can also be retrieved from the OpenAI database.
[0629] Information provision
[0630] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, which then displays the information to the user. For example, if a user requests a card, the necessary information for that request will be displayed. When the user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Issue" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the issuance process.
[0631] Issuance procedure
[0632] Based on the necessary information, the server calls APIs to external card issuance and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[0633] Specific example
[0634] 1. The process from login to authentication
[0635] The user enters a username and password to log in to the system, and the terminal sends that information to the server.
[0636] The server performs authentication, and if successful, displays the main menu on the terminal.
[0637] 2. Confirmation of permission to access information
[0638] A user requests access to specific information, and the device sends that request to the server.
[0639] The server checks the permission information and, if necessary, obtains permission from the user via the terminal.
[0640] 3. Data Extraction and Information Provision
[0641] The server extracts the necessary information from the database and sends it to the terminal.
[0642] The device displays the information to the user, and the user confirms it.
[0643] 4. Issuance Procedure
[0644] The user submits an issuance request, which is then sent to the server.
[0645] The server performs the issuance procedure through an external service and sends the completion result to the terminal.
[0646] The device displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[0647] Thus, the present invention is a system that enables users to safely and efficiently manage their personal information and to quickly receive necessary services.
[0648] The following describes the processing flow.
[0649] Step 1:
[0650] The user clicks the "Login" button. The device prompts the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the required information and clicks the "Submit" button.
[0651] Step 2:
[0652] The terminal sends the entered username and password to the server.
[0653] Step 3:
[0654] Based on the authentication information received by the server, it queries the database to check if the user exists and verifies whether the password matches.
[0655] Step 4:
[0656] The server returns the authentication result to the terminal. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal. If authentication fails, an error message is displayed.
[0657] Step 5:
[0658] The user selects the "Request Information Access" option from the main menu. The terminal then prompts the user to choose the type of information they want to access.
[0659] Step 6:
[0660] The user selects the type of information and clicks the "Send" button. The device sends the selected information to the server.
[0661] Step 7:
[0662] The server queries the database to check the permission status for the target information.
[0663] Step 8:
[0664] The server returns the permission status to the terminal. If permission is required, a prompt will be displayed to the user via the terminal requesting permission.
[0665] Step 9:
[0666] If the user grants permission, they click the "Grant Permission" button. The device then sends the user's permission to the server.
[0667] Step 10:
[0668] The server verifies the permission information and extracts the necessary information from the database. If the required information is distributed across multiple databases, it retrieves the information from all of them.
[0669] Step 11:
[0670] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal. The terminal then displays the extracted information to the user.
[0671] Step 12:
[0672] The user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Publish" button. The terminal sends the user's publication request to the server.
[0673] Step 13:
[0674] The server calls APIs to external card issuance services and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process.
[0675] Step 14:
[0676] The server sends the issuance completion result to the terminal. The terminal displays an issuance completion message to the user.
[0677] Step 15:
[0678] The user should confirm the issuance completion message and take the following actions as needed.
[0679] (Example 1)
[0680] Next, we will describe Example 1. 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".
[0681] In recent years, ensuring the security and efficiency of access to users' personal and confidential information has become crucial. Conventional systems often involve cumbersome processes for user authentication, access permission, and information extraction and issuance, sometimes lacking security. This invention aims to solve these problems and provide a system that allows users to safely and efficiently obtain and issue the information they need.
[0682] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 1 is realized by the following means.
[0683] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to log in using identification information, means for a data processing device to verify the user's authentication information, means for a communication terminal to obtain permission from the user, means for a data processing device to extract necessary information from a data storage device, means for a communication terminal to provide the extracted information to the user as a display means, means for a data processing device to perform an issuance procedure for specified information, and means for a data processing device to perform the issuance procedure by calling an API to an external service. This enables the user to perform a series of steps securely and efficiently.
[0684] A "user" refers to a person or entity that uses a system to access information and perform specific operations.
[0685] "Identification information" refers to information that a user provides to a system to identify themselves, and generally includes a username and password.
[0686] A "data processing device" refers to a computer system that processes data based on user requests and performs authentication, information extraction, permission verification, and issuance procedures.
[0687] A "communication terminal" is a device used by a user to access and operate a system, and generally includes PCs and smartphones.
[0688] "Permission" refers to the authorization a user needs to access specific information, and this authorization is obtained through prompts provided by the system.
[0689] A "data storage device" refers to a database or storage system used to store user information, permission information, and other related data.
[0690] "API" stands for Application Programming Interface, and refers to an interface for exchanging information and functions between different software systems.
[0691] A "prompt" refers to a message or screen display that prompts the user to perform a specific action or input.
[0692] "External services" refer to service providers or product providers that exist outside the system, and include, for example, card issuance services and insurance card issuance services.
[0693] The following system and its operation will be described as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. The purpose of this system is for users to log in safely and efficiently and to obtain, verify, and issue necessary information.
[0694] System Configuration
[0695] 1. User terminal
[0696] A device used by users to access and operate a system. Specific examples include PCs (personal computers) and smartphones.
[0697] 2. Server
[0698] A data processing device that performs user authentication and handles information extraction and issuance procedures. This includes web servers and database servers, and software such as Apache and Nginx, and databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL are sometimes used.
[0699] 3. Database
[0700] A data storage device that stores user information, permission information, and other related data. Specific examples include RDBMS (Relational Database Management Systems) such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
[0701] Program Processing Overview
[0702] certification
[0703] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server then queries the database based on the received authentication information to verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[0704] Permission confirmation
[0705] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[0706] Data Extraction
[0707] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information. If necessary, it can also call APIs of external services to retrieve additional information.
[0708] Information provision
[0709] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, which then displays the information to the user. For example, if a user requests a card, the necessary information for that request will be displayed. When the user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Issue" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the issuance process.
[0710] Issuance procedure
[0711] Based on the necessary information, the server calls APIs to external services (e.g., card issuance services or insurance card issuance services) to perform the issuance process. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, which then displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[0712] Specific example
[0713] For example, a user enters a username and password to log in to the system, and the terminal sends this information to the server. The server performs authentication, and if successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal. When the user requests access to specific customer information, the terminal sends the request to the server, and the server checks the permission information. If permission is not granted, a prompt requesting permission is displayed through the terminal. If the user grants permission, the server updates the permission information in the database, extracts the necessary information, and sends it to the terminal. The user checks the displayed information and requests, for example, "card issuance." The terminal sends this request to the server, the server calls an API of an external service to perform the issuance procedure, sends the result to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message indicating that the issuance is complete.
[0714] Example of a prompt
[0715] "Design a system where users log in by entering a username and password."
[0716] "Please explain how to send authentication information to the server and verify it from the database."
[0717] "Please describe in detail the permission verification process for accessing specific information."
[0718] "Please provide a search algorithm to extract the necessary information from the database."
[0719] "Please explain how to complete card issuance by calling an external service's API."
[0720] In this way, the system of the present invention manages personal information safely and efficiently and provides necessary services quickly.
[0721] The flow of the specific processing in Example 1 will be explained using Figure 11.
[0722] Step 1:
[0723] The user accesses the login screen. The user opens a browser on their PC or smartphone, enters the specified URL, and reaches the login screen. Input: URL. Output: Display of the login screen.
[0724] Step 2:
[0725] The user enters their username and password and submits. Input: Username, Password. Output: User authentication information ready to be sent.
[0726] Step 3:
[0727] The terminal encrypts the authentication information entered by the user and sends it to the server. HTTPS is used as the communication protocol to ensure the security of the information. Input: Authentication information (username, password). Output: HTTPS request containing encrypted authentication information.
[0728] Step 4:
[0729] The server receives encrypted authentication information and queries the database for that information. The server first decrypts the received data and then sends an SQL query to the database (e.g., MySQL). Input: Encrypted authentication information. Output: Authentication result obtained via SQL query.
[0730] Step 5:
[0731] The server receives the authentication result from the database and, if authentication is successful, sends an authentication success response to the terminal. Input: Authentication result from the database. Output: Authentication success response to the terminal.
[0732] Step 6:
[0733] The device receives a successful authentication response and displays the main menu. Input: Successful authentication response. Output: Display of the main menu.
[0734] Step 7:
[0735] A user requests access to specific information. For example, by clicking on specific customer information in the main menu. Input: User's access request. Output: Preparation for sending the access request.
[0736] Step 8:
[0737] The terminal sends an access request to the server. Input: Access request. Output: HTTPS request containing the access request.
[0738] Step 9:
[0739] The server receives the access request and checks the database for permission information. It then uses an SQL query again to verify if the user has permission to access the requested information. Input: Access request. Output: Permission information check result.
[0740] Step 10:
[0741] The server sends the permission information verification result to the terminal. If permission is not granted, a prompt requesting permission is displayed through the terminal. Input: Permission information verification result. Output: Instruction to display the permission prompt.
[0742] Step 11:
[0743] The terminal displays a permission prompt to the user. Input: Instruction to display the permission prompt. Output: Display of the permission prompt.
[0744] Step 12:
[0745] The user clicks the "Allow" button on the prompt to grant permission. Input: The click action to grant permission. Output: The decision to grant permission.
[0746] Step 13:
[0747] The device sends a permission decision to the server. Input: Permission decision. Output: HTTPS request containing permission information.
[0748] Step 14:
[0749] The server updates the database permissions and then sends another SQL query to extract the information the user needs. Input: Permission information. Output: SQL query for information extraction.
[0750] Step 15:
[0751] The server extracts information from the database and sends it to the terminal. Input: SQL query for information extraction. Output: Response containing the extracted information.
[0752] Step 16:
[0753] The terminal receives the extracted information and displays it to the user. Input: Response containing the extracted information. Output: Display of the information.
[0754] Step 17:
[0755] The user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Publish" button. Input: Publish request operation. Output: Preparation for sending the publish request.
[0756] Step 18:
[0757] The terminal sends an issue request to the server. Input: Issue request. Output: HTTPS request containing the issue request.
[0758] Step 19:
[0759] The server receives the issuance request and calls an external service API (e.g., a card issuance service) to perform the issuance procedure. The API request includes the necessary information (e.g., user information, card information). Input: Issuance request. Output: Sending the API request.
[0760] Step 20:
[0761] The server receives the completion result of the issuance procedure from an external service and sends the result to the terminal. Input: API response. Output: Sending of issuance completion result.
[0762] Step 21:
[0763] The terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete. Input: Issuance completion result. Output: Display of the issuance completion message.
[0764] As described above, this system's program allows users to safely and efficiently obtain information and receive specific services through a series of steps.

[0766] Next, we will explain Application Example 1. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as the "terminal."
[0767] Traditional food delivery services have faced problems such as the cumbersome login process for users and the lack of efficiency in managing order history and coupon information. Furthermore, the user authorization process was complicated, and the coupon issuance process was not smooth.
[0768] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 1 is realized by the following means.
[0769] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to log in using an account, means for the server to verify the user's authentication information, means for the terminal to obtain permission from the user, means for the server to extract order history and coupon information from a database, means for the terminal to provide the extracted order history and coupon information to the user, and means for the server to perform the procedure for issuing a specified coupon. This allows the user to log in easily and efficiently and to check and issue order history and coupon information.
[0770] A "user" is an individual who accesses the system, obtains the necessary information, and performs operations in order to use a food delivery service.
[0771] An "account" is a set of credentials that a user uses to log into a system and access individual information and services.

[0781] The following system and its operation will be described as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. This system aims to allow users to easily log in, manage their order history and coupon information when using a food delivery service, and quickly and securely obtain, verify, and issue information.
[0782] System Configuration
[0783] This system consists of the following main components:
[0784] 1. User terminal: A device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) that the user uses to access and operate the food delivery service.
[0785] 2. Server: A computer system used for user authentication, extracting information from the database, and issuing coupons.
[0786] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, order history, coupon information, and other related data.
[0787] Program Processing Overview
[0788] certification
[0789] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server uses the received authentication information to query the database and verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[0790] Permission confirmation
[0791] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[0792] Data Extraction
[0793] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database—for example, order history and coupon information. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information.
[0794] Information provision
[0795] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, and the terminal displays that information to the user. For example, if a user requests a coupon, the necessary information will be displayed. After the user confirms the information and clicks the "Issue Coupon" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the coupon issuance process.
[0796] Issuance procedure
[0797] Based on the necessary information, the server calls an API to an internal or external coupon issuance service to perform the coupon issuance procedure. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.

[0868] The user enters their username and password to log in to the system. The terminal sends this information to the server. The server queries the database for authentication information and performs authentication. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[0869] Permission confirmation
[0870] When a user requests access to information, the device sends the request to the server. The server queries the database to check the permission status. If permission is required, the device displays a prompt requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server.
[0871] emotion recognition
[0872] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and facial expressions and sends the results to the server. The server dynamically adjusts its response based on the recognized emotions.
[0873] Data Extraction
[0874] The server extracts the necessary information from the database. If needed, it can also retrieve relevant information from the OpenAI database.
[0875] Information provision
[0876] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal, which then provides that information to the user. The user then verifies the displayed information.
[0877] Issuance procedure
[0878] When a user requests issuance, the device sends the request to the server. The server calls an API to an external issuance service to perform the procedure. Once issuance is complete, the result is sent to the device and notified to the user.
[0879] Specific example
[0880] 1. The process from login to authentication
[0881] The user enters their username and password to log in.
[0882] The device sends authentication information to the server, and the server performs the authentication.
[0883] If authentication is successful, the main menu will be displayed.
[0884] 2. Emotion recognition and permission confirmation
[0885] When a user requests access to information, the device activates an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions.
[0886] The recognized emotion information is sent to the server, which then dynamically adjusts its response based on that information.
[0887] The device will obtain permission from the user as needed.
[0888] 3. Information Extraction and Provision
[0889] The server extracts information from the database and sends it to the terminal.
[0890] The device provides the information to the user, and the user confirms it.
[0891] 4. Issuance Procedure
[0892] The user requests issuance, and the device sends that request to the server.
[0893] The server performs the issuance procedure and sends the completion result to the terminal.
[0894] The device displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[0895] Thus, the present invention is a system that uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions and dynamically adjusts the system's overall response based on that information. This improves the user experience.
[0896] The following describes the processing flow.
[0897] Step 1:
[0898] The user clicks the "Login" button. The device prompts the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the required information and clicks the "Submit" button.
[0899] Step 2:
[0900] The terminal sends the entered username and password to the server.
[0901] Step 3:
[0902] Based on the authentication information received by the server, it queries the database to check if the user exists and verifies whether the password matches.
[0903] Step 4:
[0904] The server returns the authentication result to the terminal. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[0905] Step 5:
[0906] The user selects the "Request Information Access" option from the main menu. The terminal then prompts the user to choose the type of information they want to access.
[0907] Step 6:
[0908] The user selects the type of information and clicks the "Send" button. The device sends the selected information to the server.
[0909] Step 7:
[0910] The server queries the database to check the permission status for the target information.
[0911] Step 8:
[0912] The server returns the permission status to the terminal. If permission is required, the terminal will display a prompt requesting permission. If the user grants permission, they click the "Grant Permission" button.
[0913] Step 9:
[0914] The device activates its emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. It analyzes voice, facial expressions, text input, etc., to obtain the user's emotion data.
[0915] Step 10:
[0916] The emotion engine sends the recognized emotion data to the server.
[0917] Step 11:
[0918] The server analyzes emotional data and dynamically adjusts its response. For example, if the user is irritated, it displays an appropriate message.
[0919] Step 12:
[0920] The server verifies the permission information and extracts the necessary information from the database. If necessary, it retrieves information from multiple databases.
[0921] Step 13:
[0922] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal. The terminal then displays that information to the user.
[0923] Step 14:
[0924] The user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Publish" button. The terminal sends the user's publication request to the server.
[0925] Step 15:
[0926] The server calls APIs to external card issuance services and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process.
[0927] Step 16:
[0928] The server sends the issuance completion result to the terminal. The terminal displays an issuance completion message to the user.
[0929] Step 17:
[0930] The user should confirm the issuance completion message and take the following actions as needed.
[0931] This processing flow allows users to enjoy a secure and efficient information access and publishing process, including emotion recognition.

[0942] "Means by which a server performs the procedure for issuing specified information" refers to the process by which a server performs the necessary procedures with an external issuing service and issues the specified information.
[0943] "Means of emotion recognition for a device to recognize a user's emotions" refers to the technology and process used by a device to analyze a user's voice, facial expressions, etc., using emotion recognition technology to recognize those emotions.
[0944] "Means by which a server dynamically adjusts its response based on emotion recognition information" refers to the processes and methods by which a server dynamically changes the system's response based on user emotion information obtained through emotion recognition means.

[1082] Traditional virtual store systems have suffered from a lack of emotionally responsive service and suggestions, resulting in insufficient information and purchasing support for individual users. This often led to an unsatisfactory user experience and ultimately a decline in purchasing intent. Furthermore, the system's uniform approach, without considering the user's emotional state, tended to result in low service quality. There is a need to solve these problems and improve the user experience.
[1083] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means.
[1084] In this invention, the server includes means for using an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions, means for the emotion engine to analyze the user's voice and facial expressions, and means for dynamically adjusting the response based on the recognized emotion information. This enables appropriate responses and suggestions tailored to the user's individual emotional state.
[1085] "User" refers to an individual or legal entity that uses the system.
[1086] An "account" refers to a dataset containing authentication information that a user uses to access the system.
[1087] A "server" refers to a computer system that verifies user authentication information and performs necessary data processing and access to databases.
[1088] "Terminal" refers to a device that the user directly operates (e.g., smartphone, PC, etc.).

[1097] The embodiments for carrying out this invention are described below. The invention relates to a virtual store system that has the function of recognizing the user's emotions using an emotion engine and dynamically adjusting the response based on those emotions.
[1098] System Configuration
[1099] This system consists of the following main components:
[1100] 1. User terminal: A device that a user accesses and operates (e.g., smart glasses).
[1101] 2. Server: A computer system that performs user authentication, analyzes emotional data, and dynamically adjusts the response content.
[1102] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, permission information, and other related data.
[1103] 4. Emotion Engine: An engine that recognizes the user's emotions and sends the results to the server.
[1104] Program Processing Overview
[1105] certification
[1106] To log in to the system, the user enters their account information. The terminal sends this information to the server, which queries the database for authentication information to perform the authentication. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed to the user; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[1107] emotion recognition
[1108] The device activates an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and facial expressions and sends the results to a server. Smart glasses equipped with a camera and microphone are used as the emotion engine.
[1109] Dynamic adjustment of response
[1110] The server dynamically adjusts its response based on emotional information sent from the emotion engine. This adjustment includes providing product suggestions and discount coupons tailored to the user's emotional state, thereby improving the user experience.
[1111] Information Extraction
[1112] The server extracts the necessary information from the database. Sentimental information is also considered to ensure that the appropriate information is extracted.
[1113] Information provision
[1114] The server extracts information and sends it to the terminal, which then provides that information to the user. The user reviews the displayed information and takes appropriate actions, such as pressing a purchase button.
[1115] Issuance procedure
[1116] When a user requests the issuance of information or a service, the device sends the request to the server. The server then calls an API or other method to an external issuance service to perform the necessary procedures. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the device and notified to the user.
[1117] Specific example
[1118] For example, if a user is browsing the luxury watch section in a virtual store, and their facial expression is recognized as "surprise," the server will offer a detailed explanation of the luxury and rarity of the watch, along with a discount coupon, thereby increasing the user's desire to purchase.
[1119] Example of a prompt
[1120] "The emotion engine detected 'surprise' when the user was viewing a luxury watch. Please advise on what kind of product descriptions and suggestions would be effective in increasing the user's purchase intent."
[1121] In this way, the user experience can be improved through dynamic response adjustments based on emotional information.
[1122] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.
[1123] Step 1:
[1124] The user enters their account information (username, password) using their device and logs in.
[1125] Input: User-entered account information
[1126] Data processing: The terminal sends the entered account information to the server.
[1127] Output: Sending authentication information from the terminal to the server
[1128] Step 2:
[1129] The server queries the database for the authentication information it receives and authenticates the user.
[1130] Input: Authentication information sent from the device
[1131] Data calculation: Verification against authentication information stored in the database.
[1132] Output: Authentication success or failure
[1133] Step 3:
[1134] The device displays the main menu to the user upon successful authentication. If authentication fails, an error message is displayed.
[1135] Input: Authentication result from the server
[1136] Data processing: Screen display based on authentication results
[1137] Output: Display of the main menu or error messages
[1138] Step 4:
[1139] When a user requests to view products or access information, the device activates an emotion engine to capture the user's voice and facial expressions.
[1140] Input: User information access request
[1141] Data collection: Capture of voice and facial expression data using an emotion engine (camera and microphone in smart glasses).
[1142] Output: Captured audio and facial expression data
[1143] Step 5:
[1144] The emotion engine analyzes captured audio and facial expression data to recognize the user's emotions.
[1145] Input: Captured audio and facial expression data
[1146] Data processing: Analysis using emotion recognition algorithms
[1147] Output: Recognized emotion data (e.g., surprise, joy, sadness, etc.)
[1148] Step 6:
[1149] The server receives recognized emotion data and dynamically adjusts its response.
[1150] Input: Emotional data sent from the emotion engine.
[1151] Data processing: Generate appropriate responses based on sentiment data (e.g., product suggestions, discount coupon offers).
[1152] Output: Dynamically adjusted response content
[1153] Step 7:
[1154] The server extracts the necessary information from the database and incorporates it into the response.
[1155] Input: Request for necessary information
[1156] Data retrieval: Information extraction through database queries.
[1157] Output: Response content including extracted information
[1158] Step 8:
[1159] The server sends the response to the terminal, and the terminal provides that information to the user.
[1160] Input: Response sent from the server
[1161] Data processing: Preparing the response content for display.
[1162] Output: The response provided to the user (e.g., screen display, audio announcement)
[1163] Step 9:
[1164] When a user requests the issuance of specified information or services, the device sends that information to the server.
[1165] Input: User's Issue Request
[1166] Data transmission: Sending a request to the server.
[1167] Output: Sending a publishing request to the server
[1168] Step 10:
[1169] The server calls APIs or other methods to external publishing services to perform procedures and then sends the results to the terminal.
[1170] Input: Issue request data
[1171] Data processing: Issuance procedures via external API calls
[1172] Output: Results of the issuance procedure
[1173] Step 11:
[1174] The terminal notifies the user of the result of the issuance procedure.
[1175] Input: Result of the issuance procedure from the server
[1176] Data processing: Preparing to display the publication results.
[1177] Output: Notification to the user (e.g., screen display, message)
[1178] The above outlines the specific processing steps of the system that implements the application example.
[1179] 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 user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1180] Data generation model 58 is a type of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). One example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include the following. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and with inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[1194] Next, the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 will be described. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the headset terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal".
[1195] The following system and its operation will be described as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. This system aims to allow users to easily log in and securely obtain, verify, and issue necessary information.
[1196] System Configuration
[1197] This system consists of the following main components:
[1198] 1. User terminal: A device used by a user to access and operate something (e.g., a PC or smartphone).
[1199] 2. Server: A computer system that performs user authentication, extracts information from a database, and carries out necessary procedures.
[1200] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, permission information, and other related data.
[1201] Program Processing Overview
[1202] certification
[1203] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server uses the received authentication information to query the database and verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[1204] Permission confirmation
[1205] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[1206] Data Extraction
[1207] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information. If necessary, information can also be retrieved from the OpenAI database.
[1208] Information provision
[1209] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, which then displays the information to the user. For example, if a user requests a card, the necessary information for that request will be displayed. When the user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Issue" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the issuance process.
[1210] Issuance procedure
[1211] Based on the necessary information, the server calls APIs to external card issuance and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[1212] Specific example
[1213] 1. The process from login to authentication
[1214] The user enters a username and password to log in to the system, and the terminal sends that information to the server.
[1215] The server performs authentication, and if successful, displays the main menu on the terminal.
[1216] 2. Confirmation of permission to access information
[1217] A user requests access to specific information, and the device sends that request to the server.
[1218] The server checks the permission information and, if necessary, obtains permission from the user via the terminal.
[1219] 3. Data Extraction and Information Provision
[1220] The server extracts the necessary information from the database and sends it to the terminal.
[1221] The device displays the information to the user, and the user confirms it.
[1222] 4. Issuance Procedure
[1223] The user submits an issuance request, which is then sent to the server.
[1224] The server performs the issuance procedure through an external service and sends the completion result to the terminal.
[1225] The device displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[1226] Thus, the present invention is a system that enables users to safely and efficiently manage their personal information and to quickly receive necessary services.
[1227] The following describes the processing flow.
[1228] Step 1:
[1229] The user clicks the "Login" button. The device prompts the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the required information and clicks the "Submit" button.
[1230] Step 2:
[1231] The terminal sends the entered username and password to the server.
[1232] Step 3:
[1233] Based on the authentication information received by the server, it queries the database to check if the user exists and verifies whether the password matches.
[1234] Step 4:
[1235] The server returns the authentication result to the terminal. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal. If authentication fails, an error message is displayed.
[1236] Step 5:
[1237] The user selects the "Request Information Access" option from the main menu. The terminal then prompts the user to choose the type of information they want to access.
[1238] Step 6:
[1239] The user selects the type of information and clicks the "Send" button. The device sends the selected information to the server.
[1240] Step 7:
[1241] The server queries the database to check the permission status for the target information.
[1242] Step 8:
[1243] The server returns the permission status to the terminal. If permission is required, a prompt will be displayed to the user via the terminal requesting permission.
[1244] Step 9:
[1245] If the user grants permission, they click the "Grant Permission" button. The device then sends the user's permission to the server.
[1246] Step 10:
[1247] The server verifies the permission information and extracts the necessary information from the database. If the required information is distributed across multiple databases, it retrieves the information from all of them.
[1248] Step 11:
[1249] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal. The terminal then displays the extracted information to the user.
[1250] Step 12:
[1251] The user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Publish" button. The terminal sends the user's publication request to the server.
[1252] Step 13:
[1253] The server calls APIs to external card issuance services and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process.
[1254] Step 14:
[1255] The server sends the issuance completion result to the terminal. The terminal displays an issuance completion message to the user.
[1256] Step 15:
[1257] The user should confirm the issuance completion message and take the following actions as needed.
[1258] (Example 1)
[1259] Next, we will describe Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the headset-type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."
[1260] In recent years, ensuring the security and efficiency of access to users' personal and confidential information has become crucial. Conventional systems often involve cumbersome processes for user authentication, access permission, and information extraction and issuance, sometimes lacking security.

[1272] The following system and its operation will be described as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. The purpose of this system is for users to log in safely and efficiently and to obtain, verify, and issue necessary information.
[1273] System Configuration
[1274] 1. User terminal
[1275] A device used by users to access and operate a system. Specific examples include PCs (personal computers) and smartphones.
[1276] 2. Server
[1277] A data processing device that performs user authentication and handles information extraction and issuance procedures. This includes web servers and database servers, and software such as Apache and Nginx, and databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL are sometimes used.
[1278] 3. Database
[1279] A data storage device that stores user information, permission information, and other related data. Specific examples include RDBMS (Relational Database Management Systems) such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
[1280] Program Processing Overview
[1281] certification
[1282] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server then queries the database based on the received authentication information to verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[1283] Permission confirmation
[1284] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[1285] Data Extraction
[1286] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information. If necessary, it can also call APIs of external services to retrieve additional information.
[1287] Information provision
[1288] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, which then displays the information to the user. For example, if a user requests a card, the necessary information for that request will be displayed. When the user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Issue" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the issuance process.
[1289] Issuance procedure
[1290] Based on the necessary information, the server calls APIs to external services (e.g., card issuance services or insurance card issuance services) to perform the issuance process. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, which then displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[1291] Specific example
[1292] For example, a user enters a username and password to log in to the system, and the terminal sends this information to the server. The server performs authentication, and if successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal. When the user requests access to specific customer information, the terminal sends the request to the server, and the server checks the permission information. If permission is not granted, a prompt requesting permission is displayed through the terminal. If the user grants permission, the server updates the permission information in the database, extracts the necessary information, and sends it to the terminal. The user checks the displayed information and requests, for example, "card issuance." The terminal sends this request to the server, the server calls an API of an external service to perform the issuance procedure, sends the result to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message indicating that the issuance is complete.
[1293] Example of a prompt
[1294] "Design a system where users log in by entering a username and password."
[1295] "Please explain how to send authentication information to the server and verify it from the database."
[1296] "Please describe in detail the permission verification process for accessing specific information."
[1297] "Please provide a search algorithm to extract the necessary information from the database."
[1298] "Please explain how to complete card issuance by calling an external service's API."
[1299] In this way, the system of the present invention manages personal information safely and efficiently and provides necessary services quickly.
[1300] The flow of the specific processing in Example 1 will be explained using Figure 11.
[1301] Step 1:
[1302] The user accesses the login screen. The user opens a browser on their PC or smartphone, enters the specified URL, and reaches the login screen. Input: URL. Output: Display of the login screen.
[1303] Step 2:
[1304] The user enters their username and password and submits. Input: Username, Password. Output: User authentication information ready to be sent.
[1305] Step 3:
[1306] The terminal encrypts the authentication information entered by the user and sends it to the server. HTTPS is used as the communication protocol to ensure the security of the information. Input: Authentication information (username, password). Output: HTTPS request containing encrypted authentication information.
[1307] Step 4:
[1308] The server receives encrypted authentication information and queries the database for that information. The server first decrypts the received data and then sends an SQL query to the database (e.g., MySQL). Input: Encrypted authentication information. Output: Authentication result obtained via SQL query.
[1309] Step 5:
[1310] The server receives the authentication result from the database and, if authentication is successful, sends an authentication success response to the terminal. Input: Authentication result from the database. Output: Authentication success response to the terminal.
[1311] Step 6:
[1312] The device receives a successful authentication response and displays the main menu. Input: Successful authentication response. Output: Display of the main menu.
[1313] Step 7:
[1314] A user requests access to specific information. For example, by clicking on specific customer information in the main menu. Input: User's access request. Output: Preparation for sending the access request.
[1315] Step 8:
[1316] The terminal sends an access request to the server. Input: Access request. Output: HTTPS request containing the access request.
[1317] Step 9:
[1318] The server receives the access request and checks the database for permission information. It then uses an SQL query again to verify if the user has permission to access the requested information. Input: Access request. Output: Permission information check result.
[1319] Step 10:
[1320] The server sends the permission information verification result to the terminal. If permission is not granted, a prompt requesting permission is displayed through the terminal. Input: Permission information verification result. Output: Instruction to display the permission prompt.
[1321] Step 11:
[1322] The terminal displays a permission prompt to the user. Input: Instruction to display the permission prompt. Output: Display of the permission prompt.
[1323] Step 12:
[1324] The user clicks the "Allow" button on the prompt to grant permission. Input: The click action to grant permission. Output: The decision to grant permission.
[1325] Step 13:
[1326] The device sends a permission decision to the server. Input: Permission decision. Output: HTTPS request containing permission information.
[1327] Step 14:
[1328] The server updates the database permissions and then sends another SQL query to extract the information the user needs. Input: Permission information. Output: SQL query for information extraction.
[1329] Step 15:
[1330] The server extracts information from the database and sends it to the terminal. Input: SQL query for information extraction. Output: Response containing the extracted information.
[1331] Step 16:
[1332] The terminal receives the extracted information and displays it to the user. Input: Response containing the extracted information. Output: Display of the information.
[1333] Step 17:
[1334] The user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Publish" button. Input: Publish request operation. Output: Preparation for sending the publish request.
[1335] Step 18:
[1336] The terminal sends an issue request to the server. Input: Issue request. Output: HTTPS request containing the issue request.
[1337] Step 19:
[1338] The server receives the issuance request and calls an external service API (e.g., a card issuance service) to perform the issuance procedure. The API request includes the necessary information (e.g., user information, card information). Input: Issuance request. Output: Sending the API request.
[1339] Step 20:
[1340] The server receives the completion result of the issuance procedure from an external service and sends the result to the terminal. Input: API response. Output: Sending of issuance completion result.
[1341] Step 21:
[1342] The terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete. Input: Issuance completion result. Output: Display of the issuance completion message.
[1343] As described above, this system's program allows users to safely and efficiently obtain information and receive specific services through a series of steps.
[1344] (Application Example 1)
[1345] Next, we will explain Application Example 1. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the headset-type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."
[1346] Traditional food delivery services have faced problems such as the cumbersome login process for users and the lack of efficiency in managing order history and coupon information. Furthermore, the user authorization process was complicated, and the coupon issuance process was not smooth.
[1347] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 1 is realized by the following means.
[1348] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to log in using an account, means for the server to verify the user's authentication information, means for the terminal to obtain permission from the user, means for the server to extract order history and coupon information from a database, means for the terminal to provide the extracted order history and coupon information to the user, and means for the server to perform the procedure for issuing a specified coupon. This allows the user to log in easily and efficiently and to check and issue order history and coupon information.
[1349] A "user" is an individual who accesses the system, obtains the necessary information, and performs operations in order to use a food delivery service.
[1350] An "account" is a set of credentials that a user uses to log into a system and access individual information and services.
[1351] "The means of logging in" refers to the process by which a user enters authentication information associated with their account (e.g., username and password) and begins accessing the system.
[1352] A "server" is a computer system that verifies user authentication information, extracts information from a database, and performs necessary procedures.
[1353] A "terminal" refers to a device (such as a smartphone or tablet) that a user uses to access and operate a food delivery service.
[1354] "Permission" means consent for a user to access certain information, such as personal information or location data.
[1355] A "database" is a system for systematically storing and managing user information, order history, coupon information, and other related data.
[1356] "Extraction methods" refer to the process of retrieving necessary information, such as order history and coupon information, from a database and making it available for use.
[1357] "Means of providing" refers to the process of displaying the extracted information on the user's device.
[1358] "Coupon information" refers to information about discounts and benefits that users can use with food delivery services.
[1359] "Issuance procedure" refers to the process by which a server performs operations to provide coupons and other benefits to users.
[1360] The following system and its operation will be described as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. This system aims to allow users to easily log in, manage their order history and coupon information when using a food delivery service, and quickly and securely obtain, verify, and issue information.
[1361] System Configuration
[1362] This system consists of the following main components:
[1363] 1. User terminal: A device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) that the user uses to access and operate the food delivery service.
[1364] 2. Server: A computer system used for user authentication, extracting information from the database, and issuing coupons.
[1365] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, order history, coupon information, and other related data.
[1366] Program Processing Overview
[1367] certification
[1368] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server uses the received authentication information to query the database and verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[1369] Permission confirmation
[1370] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[1371] Data Extraction
[1372] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database—for example, order history and coupon information. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information.
[1373] Information provision
[1374] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, and the terminal displays that information to the user. For example, if a user requests a coupon, the necessary information will be displayed. After the user confirms the information and clicks the "Issue Coupon" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the coupon issuance process.
[1375] Issuance procedure
[1376] Based on the necessary information, the server calls an API to an internal or external coupon issuance service to perform the coupon issuance procedure. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[1377] Hardware / software to use
[1378] Hardware:
[1379] smartphone
[1380] Server (cloud server or on-premises)

[1443] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, permission information, and other related data.
[1444] 4. Emotion Engine: An engine that recognizes the user's emotions and provides that information to the system.
[1445] Program Processing Overview
[1446] certification
[1447] The user enters their username and password to log in to the system. The terminal sends this information to the server. The server queries the database for authentication information and performs authentication. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[1448] Permission confirmation
[1449] When a user requests access to information, the device sends the request to the server. The server queries the database to check the permission status. If permission is required, the device displays a prompt requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server.
[1450] emotion recognition
[1451] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and facial expressions and sends the results to the server. The server dynamically adjusts its response based on the recognized emotions.
[1452] Data Extraction
[1453] The server extracts the necessary information from the database. If needed, it can also retrieve relevant information from the OpenAI database.
[1454] Information provision
[1455] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal, which then provides that information to the user. The user then verifies the displayed information.
[1456] Issuance procedure
[1457] When a user requests issuance, the device sends the request to the server. The server calls an API to an external issuance service to perform the procedure. Once issuance is complete, the result is sent to the device and notified to the user.
[1458] Specific example
[1459] 1. The process from login to authentication
[1460] The user enters their username and password to log in.
[1461] The device sends authentication information to the server, and the server performs the authentication.
[1462] If authentication is successful, the main menu will be displayed.
[1463] 2. Emotion recognition and permission confirmation
[1464] When a user requests access to information, the device activates an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions.
[1465] The recognized emotion information is sent to the server, which then dynamically adjusts its response based on that information.
[1466] The device will obtain permission from the user as needed.
[1467] 3. Information Extraction and Provision
[1468] The server extracts information from the database and sends it to the terminal.
[1469] The device provides the information to the user, and the user confirms it.
[1470] 4. Issuance Procedure
[1471] The user requests issuance, and the device sends that request to the server.
[1472] The server performs the issuance procedure and sends the completion result to the terminal.
[1473] The device displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[1474] Thus, the present invention is a system that uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions and dynamically adjusts the system's overall response based on that information. This improves the user experience.
[1475] The following describes the processing flow.
[1476] Step 1:
[1477] The user clicks the "Login" button. The device prompts the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the required information and clicks the "Submit" button.
[1478] Step 2:
[1479] The terminal sends the entered username and password to the server.
[1480] Step 3:
[1481] Based on the authentication information received by the server, it queries the database to check if the user exists and verifies whether the password matches.
[1482] Step 4:
[1483] The server returns the authentication result to the terminal. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[1484] Step 5:
[1485] The user selects the "Request Information Access" option from the main menu. The terminal then prompts the user to choose the type of information they want to access.
[1486] Step 6:
[1487] The user selects the type of information and clicks the "Send" button. The device sends the selected information to the server.
[1488] Step 7:
[1489] The server queries the database to check the permission status for the target information.
[1490] Step 8:
[1491] The server returns the permission status to the terminal. If permission is required, the terminal will display a prompt requesting permission. If the user grants permission, they click the "Grant Permission" button.
[1492] Step 9:
[1493] The device activates its emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. It analyzes voice, facial expressions, text input, etc., to obtain the user's emotion data.
[1494] Step 10:
[1495] The emotion engine sends the recognized emotion data to the server.
[1496] Step 11:
[1497] The server analyzes emotional data and dynamically adjusts its response. For example, if the user is irritated, it displays an appropriate message.
[1498] Step 12:
[1499] The server verifies the permission information and extracts the necessary information from the database. If necessary, it retrieves information from multiple databases.
[1500] Step 13:
[1501] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal. The terminal then displays that information to the user.
[1502] Step 14:
[1503] The user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Publish" button. The terminal sends the user's publication request to the server.
[1504] Step 15:
[1505] The server calls APIs to external card issuance services and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process.
[1506] Step 16:
[1507] The server sends the issuance completion result to the terminal. The terminal displays an issuance completion message to the user.
[1508] Step 17:
[1509] The user should confirm the issuance completion message and take the following actions as needed.
[1510] This processing flow allows users to enjoy a secure and efficient information access and publishing process, including emotion recognition.

[1512] Next, we will describe Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the headset-type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."
[1513] Conventional systems could perform user authentication, data extraction, and information provision, but they lacked the ability to provide dynamic responses that took user emotions into account. As a result, the user experience was uniform, and it was difficult to optimize responses and processing according to the emotional state of individual users.
[1514] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means.

[1535] When a user requests access to information, the request is sent from the terminal to the server. The server queries the database to check the permission status and, if necessary, displays a prompt on the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server.
[1536] emotion recognition
[1537] The device uses an emotion engine (e.g., Amazon Rekognition) to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and facial expressions and sends the results to the server. The server dynamically adjusts its response based on the recognized emotions.

[1660] Next, we will explain application example 2. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server," and the headset-type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."
[1661] Traditional virtual store systems have suffered from a lack of emotionally responsive service and suggestions, resulting in insufficient information and purchasing support for individual users. This often led to an unsatisfactory user experience and ultimately a decline in purchasing intent. Furthermore, the system's uniform approach, without considering the user's emotional state, tended to result in low service quality.

[1676] The embodiments for carrying out this invention are described below. The invention relates to a virtual store system that has the function of recognizing the user's emotions using an emotion engine and dynamically adjusting the response based on those emotions.
[1677] System Configuration
[1678] This system consists of the following main components:
[1679] 1. User terminal: A device that a user accesses and operates (e.g., smart glasses).
[1680] 2. Server: A computer system that performs user authentication, analyzes emotional data, and dynamically adjusts the response content.
[1681] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, permission information, and other related data.
[1682] 4. Emotion Engine: An engine that recognizes the user's emotions and sends the results to the server.
[1683] Program Processing Overview
[1684] certification
[1685] To log in to the system, the user enters their account information. The terminal sends this information to the server, which queries the database for authentication information to perform the authentication. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed to the user; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[1686] emotion recognition
[1687] The device activates an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and facial expressions and sends the results to a server. Smart glasses equipped with a camera and microphone are used as the emotion engine.
[1688] Dynamic adjustment of response
[1689] The server dynamically adjusts its response based on emotional information sent from the emotion engine. This adjustment includes providing product suggestions and discount coupons tailored to the user's emotional state, thereby improving the user experience.
[1690] Information Extraction
[1691] The server extracts the necessary information from the database. Sentimental information is also considered to ensure that the appropriate information is extracted.
[1692] Information provision
[1693] The server extracts information and sends it to the terminal, which then provides that information to the user. The user reviews the displayed information and takes appropriate actions, such as pressing a purchase button.
[1694] Issuance procedure
[1695] When a user requests the issuance of information or a service, the device sends the request to the server. The server then calls an API or other method to an external issuance service to perform the necessary procedures. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the device and notified to the user.
[1696] Specific example
[1697] For example, if a user is browsing the luxury watch section in a virtual store, and their facial expression is recognized as "surprise," the server will offer a detailed explanation of the luxury and rarity of the watch, along with a discount coupon, thereby increasing the user's desire to purchase.
[1698] Example of a prompt
[1699] "The emotion engine detected 'surprise' when the user was viewing a luxury watch. Please advise on what kind of product descriptions and suggestions would be effective in increasing the user's purchase intent."
[1700] In this way, the user experience can be improved through dynamic response adjustments based on emotional information.
[1701] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.
[1702] Step 1:
[1703] The user enters their account information (username, password) using their device and logs in.
[1704] Input: User-entered account information
[1705] Data processing: The terminal sends the entered account information to the server.
[1706] Output: Sending authentication information from the terminal to the server
[1707] Step 2:
[1708] The server queries the database for the authentication information it receives and authenticates the user.
[1709] Input: Authentication information sent from the device
[1710] Data calculation: Verification against authentication information stored in the database.
[1711] Output: Authentication success or failure
[1712] Step 3:

[1714] Input: Authentication result from the server
[1715] Data processing: Screen display based on authentication results
[1716] Output: Display of the main menu or error messages
[1717] Step 4:
[1718] When a user requests to view products or access information, the device activates an emotion engine to capture the user's voice and facial expressions.
[1719] Input: User information access request
[1720] Data collection: Capture of voice and facial expression data using an emotion engine (camera and microphone in smart glasses).
[1721] Output: Captured audio and facial expression data
[1722] Step 5:
[1723] The emotion engine analyzes captured audio and facial expression data to recognize the user's emotions.
[1724] Input: Captured audio and facial expression data
[1725] Data processing: Analysis using emotion recognition algorithms
[1726] Output: Recognized emotion data (e.g., surprise, joy, sadness, etc.)
[1727] Step 6:
[1728] The server receives recognized emotion data and dynamically adjusts its response.
[1729] Input: Emotional data sent from the emotion engine.
[1730] Data processing: Generate appropriate responses based on sentiment data (e.g., product suggestions, discount coupon offers).
[1731] Output: Dynamically adjusted response content
[1732] Step 7:
[1733] The server extracts the necessary information from the database and incorporates it into the response.
[1734] Input: Request for necessary information
[1735] Data retrieval: Information extraction through database queries.
[1736] Output: Response content including extracted information
[1737] Step 8:
[1738] The server sends the response to the terminal, and the terminal provides that information to the user.
[1739] Input: Response sent from the server
[1740] Data processing: Preparing the response content for display.
[1741] Output: The response provided to the user (e.g., screen display, audio announcement)
[1742] Step 9:
[1743] When a user requests the issuance of specified information or services, the device sends that information to the server.
[1744] Input: User's Issue Request
[1745] Data transmission: Sending a request to the server.
[1746] Output: Sending a publishing request to the server
[1747] Step 10:
[1748] The server calls APIs or other methods to external publishing services to perform procedures and then sends the results to the terminal.
[1749] Input: Issue request data
[1750] Data processing: Issuance procedures via external API calls
[1751] Output: Results of the issuance procedure
[1752] Step 11:
[1753] The terminal notifies the user of the result of the issuance procedure.
[1754] Input: Result of the issuance procedure from the server
[1755] Data processing: Preparing to display the publication results.
[1756] Output: Notification to the user (e.g., screen display, message)
[1757] The above outlines the specific processing steps of the system that implements the application example.
[1758] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1759] Data generation model 58 is a type of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). One example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include the following. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and with inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.
[1760] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and specific processing may also be performed by the headset terminal 314.

Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[1769] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. Furthermore, the robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.
[1770] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[1771] The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" relating to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[1772] The storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290.
[1773] In robot 414, the processor 46 performs the reception output processing. The storage 50 stores the reception output program 60. The processor 46 reads the reception output program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read reception output program 60 on the RAM 48.

[1774] Next, the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 will be described. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".
[1775] The following system and its operation will be described as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. This system aims to allow users to easily log in and securely obtain, verify, and issue necessary information.
[1776] System Configuration
[1777] This system consists of the following main components:
[1778] 1. User terminal: A device used by a user to access and operate something (e.g., a PC or smartphone).
[1779] 2. Server: A computer system that performs user authentication, extracts information from a database, and carries out necessary procedures.
[1780] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, permission information, and other related data.
[1781] Program Processing Overview
[1782] certification
[1783] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server uses the received authentication information to query the database and verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[1784] Permission confirmation
[1785] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[1786] Data Extraction
[1787] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information. If necessary, information can also be retrieved from the OpenAI database.
[1788] Information provision
[1789] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, which then displays the information to the user. For example, if a user requests a card, the necessary information for that request will be displayed. When the user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Issue" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the issuance process.
[1790] Issuance procedure
[1791] Based on the necessary information, the server calls APIs to external card issuance and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[1792] Specific example
[1793] 1. The process from login to authentication
[1794] The user enters a username and password to log in to the system, and the terminal sends that information to the server.
[1795] The server performs authentication, and if successful, displays the main menu on the terminal.
[1796] 2. Confirmation of permission to access information
[1797] A user requests access to specific information, and the device sends that request to the server.
[1798] The server checks the permission information and, if necessary, obtains permission from the user via the terminal.
[1799] 3. Data Extraction and Information Provision
[1800] The server extracts the necessary information from the database and sends it to the terminal.
[1801] The device displays the information to the user, and the user confirms it.
[1802] 4. Issuance Procedure
[1803] The user submits an issuance request, which is then sent to the server.
[1804] The server performs the issuance procedure through an external service and sends the completion result to the terminal.
[1805] The device displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[1806] Thus, the present invention is a system that enables users to safely and efficiently manage their personal information and to quickly receive necessary services.
[1807] The following describes the processing flow.
[1808] Step 1:
[1809] The user clicks the "Login" button. The device prompts the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the required information and clicks the "Submit" button.
[1810] Step 2:
[1811] The terminal sends the entered username and password to the server.
[1812] Step 3:
[1813] Based on the authentication information received by the server, it queries the database to check if the user exists and verifies whether the password matches.
[1814] Step 4:
[1815] The server returns the authentication result to the terminal. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal. If authentication fails, an error message is displayed.
[1816] Step 5:
[1817] The user selects the "Request Information Access" option from the main menu. The terminal then prompts the user to choose the type of information they want to access.
[1818] Step 6:
[1819] The user selects the type of information and clicks the "Send" button. The device sends the selected information to the server.
[1820] Step 7:
[1821] The server queries the database to check the permission status for the target information.
[1822] Step 8:
[1823] The server returns the permission status to the terminal. If permission is required, a prompt will be displayed to the user via the terminal requesting permission.
[1824] Step 9:
[1825] If the user grants permission, they click the "Grant Permission" button. The device then sends the user's permission to the server.
[1826] Step 10:
[1827] The server verifies the permission information and extracts the necessary information from the database. If the required information is distributed across multiple databases, it retrieves the information from all of them.
[1828] Step 11:
[1829] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal. The terminal then displays the extracted information to the user.
[1830] Step 12:
[1831] The user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Publish" button. The terminal sends the user's publication request to the server.
[1832] Step 13:
[1833] The server calls APIs to external card issuance services and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process.
[1834] Step 14:
[1835] The server sends the issuance completion result to the terminal. The terminal displays an issuance completion message to the user.
[1836] Step 15:
[1837] The user should confirm the issuance completion message and take the following actions as needed.
[1838] (Example 1)
[1839] Next, we will describe Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".
[1840] In recent years, ensuring the security and efficiency of access to users' personal and confidential information has become crucial. Conventional systems often involve cumbersome processes for user authentication, access permission, and information extraction and issuance, sometimes lacking security. This invention aims to solve these problems and provide a system that allows users to safely and efficiently obtain and issue the information they need.
[1841] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 1 is realized by the following means.
[1842] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to log in using identification information, means for a data processing device to verify the user's authentication information, means for a communication terminal to obtain permission from the user, means for a data processing device to extract necessary information from a data storage device, means for a communication terminal to provide the extracted information to the user as a display means, means for a data processing device to perform an issuance procedure for specified information, and means for a data processing device to perform the issuance procedure by calling an API to an external service. This enables the user to perform a series of steps securely and efficiently.
[1843] A "user" refers to a person or entity that uses a system to access information and perform specific operations.
[1844] "Identification information" refers to information that a user provides to a system to identify themselves, and generally includes a username and password.
[1845] A "data processing device" refers to a computer system that processes data based on user requests and performs authentication, information extraction, permission verification, and issuance procedures.
[1846] A "communication terminal" is a device used by a user to access and operate a system, and generally includes PCs and smartphones.
[1847] "Permission" refers to the authorization a user needs to access specific information, and this authorization is obtained through prompts provided by the system.
[1848] A "data storage device" refers to a database or storage system used to store user information, permission information, and other related data.
[1849] "API" stands for Application Programming Interface, and refers to an interface for exchanging information and functions between different software systems.
[1850] A "prompt" refers to a message or screen display that prompts the user to perform a specific action or input.
[1851] "External services" refer to service providers or product providers that exist outside the system, and include, for example, card issuance services and insurance card issuance services.
[1852] The following system and its operation will be described as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. The purpose of this system is for users to log in safely and efficiently and to obtain, verify, and issue necessary information.
[1853] System Configuration
[1854] 1. User terminal
[1855] A device used by users to access and operate a system. Specific examples include PCs (personal computers) and smartphones.
[1856] 2. Server
[1857] A data processing device that performs user authentication and handles information extraction and issuance procedures. This includes web servers and database servers, and software such as Apache and Nginx, and databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL are sometimes used.
[1858] 3. Database
[1859] A data storage device that stores user information, permission information, and other related data. Specific examples include RDBMS (Relational Database Management Systems) such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
[1860] Program Processing Overview
[1861] certification
[1862] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server then queries the database based on the received authentication information to verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[1863] Permission confirmation
[1864] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[1865] Data Extraction
[1866] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information. If necessary, it can also call APIs of external services to retrieve additional information.
[1867] Information provision
[1868] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, which then displays the information to the user. For example, if a user requests a card, the necessary information for that request will be displayed. When the user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Issue" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the issuance process.
[1869] Issuance procedure
[1870] Based on the necessary information, the server calls APIs to external services (e.g., card issuance services or insurance card issuance services) to perform the issuance process. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, which then displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[1871] Specific example
[1872] For example, a user enters a username and password to log in to the system, and the terminal sends this information to the server. The server performs authentication, and if successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal. When the user requests access to specific customer information, the terminal sends the request to the server, and the server checks the permission information. If permission is not granted, a prompt requesting permission is displayed through the terminal. If the user grants permission, the server updates the permission information in the database, extracts the necessary information, and sends it to the terminal. The user checks the displayed information and requests, for example, "card issuance." The terminal sends this request to the server, the server calls an API of an external service to perform the issuance procedure, sends the result to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message indicating that the issuance is complete.
[1873] Example of a prompt
[1874] "Design a system where users log in by entering a username and password."
[1875] "Please explain how to send authentication information to the server and verify it from the database."
[1876] "Please describe in detail the permission verification process for accessing specific information."
[1877] "Please provide a search algorithm to extract the necessary information from the database."
[1878] "Please explain how to complete card issuance by calling an external service's API."
[1879] In this way, the system of the present invention manages personal information safely and efficiently and provides necessary services quickly.
[1880] The flow of the specific processing in Example 1 will be explained using Figure 11.
[1881] Step 1:
[1882] The user accesses the login screen. The user opens a browser on their PC or smartphone, enters the specified URL, and reaches the login screen. Input: URL. Output: Display of the login screen.
[1883] Step 2:
[1884] The user enters their username and password and submits. Input: Username, Password. Output: User authentication information ready to be sent.
[1885] Step 3:
[1886] The terminal encrypts the authentication information entered by the user and sends it to the server. HTTPS is used as the communication protocol to ensure the security of the information. Input: Authentication information (username, password). Output: HTTPS request containing encrypted authentication information.
[1887] Step 4:
[1888] The server receives encrypted authentication information and queries the database for that information. The server first decrypts the received data and then sends an SQL query to the database (e.g., MySQL). Input: Encrypted authentication information. Output: Authentication result obtained via SQL query.
[1889] Step 5:
[1890] The server receives the authentication result from the database and, if authentication is successful, sends an authentication success response to the terminal. Input: Authentication result from the database. Output: Authentication success response to the terminal.
[1891] Step 6:
[1892] The device receives a successful authentication response and displays the main menu. Input: Successful authentication response. Output: Display of the main menu.
[1893] Step 7:
[1894] A user requests access to specific information. For example, by clicking on specific customer information in the main menu. Input: User's access request. Output: Preparation for sending the access request.
[1895] Step 8:
[1896] The terminal sends an access request to the server. Input: Access request. Output: HTTPS request containing the access request.
[1897] Step 9:
[1898] The server receives the access request and checks the database for permission information. It then uses an SQL query again to verify if the user has permission to access the requested information. Input: Access request. Output: Permission information check result.
[1899] Step 10:
[1900] The server sends the permission information verification result to the terminal. If permission is not granted, a prompt requesting permission is displayed through the terminal. Input: Permission information verification result. Output: Instruction to display the permission prompt.
[1901] Step 11:
[1902] The terminal displays a permission prompt to the user. Input: Instruction to display the permission prompt. Output: Display of the permission prompt.
[1903] Step 12:
[1904] The user clicks the "Allow" button on the prompt to grant permission. Input: The click action to grant permission. Output: The decision to grant permission.
[1905] Step 13:
[1906] The device sends a permission decision to the server. Input: Permission decision. Output: HTTPS request containing permission information.
[1907] Step 14:

[1923] As described above, this system's program allows users to safely and efficiently obtain information and receive specific services through a series of steps.
[1924] (Application Example 1)
[1925] Next, we will explain Application Example 1. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".
[1926] Traditional food delivery services have faced problems such as the cumbersome login process for users and the lack of efficiency in managing order history and coupon information. Furthermore, the user authorization process was complicated, and the coupon issuance process was not smooth.
[1927] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 1 is realized by the following means.
[1928] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to log in using an account, means for the server to verify the user's authentication information, means for the terminal to obtain permission from the user, means for the server to extract order history and coupon information from a database, means for the terminal to provide the extracted order history and coupon information to the user, and means for the server to perform the procedure for issuing a specified coupon. This allows the user to log in easily and efficiently and to check and issue order history and coupon information.
[1929] A "user" is an individual who accesses the system, obtains the necessary information, and performs operations in order to use a food delivery service.
[1930] An "account" is a set of credentials that a user uses to log into a system and access individual information and services.
[1931] "The means of logging in" refers to the process by which a user enters authentication information associated with their account (e.g., username and password) and begins accessing the system.
[1932] A "server" is a computer system that verifies user authentication information, extracts information from a database, and performs necessary procedures.
[1933] A "terminal" refers to a device (such as a smartphone or tablet) that a user uses to access and operate a food delivery service.
[1934] "Permission" means consent for a user to access certain information, such as personal information or location data.
[1935] A "database" is a system for systematically storing and managing user information, order history, coupon information, and other related data.
[1936] "Extraction methods" refer to the process of retrieving necessary information, such as order history and coupon information, from a database and making it available for use.
[1937] "Means of providing" refers to the process of displaying the extracted information on the user's device.
[1938] "Coupon information" refers to information about discounts and benefits that users can use with food delivery services.
[1939] "Issuance procedure" refers to the process by which a server performs operations to provide coupons and other benefits to users.
[1940] The following system and its operation will be described as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. This system aims to allow users to easily log in, manage their order history and coupon information when using a food delivery service, and quickly and securely obtain, verify, and issue information.
[1941] System Configuration
[1942] This system consists of the following main components:
[1943] 1. User terminal: A device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) that the user uses to access and operate the food delivery service.
[1944] 2. Server: A computer system used for user authentication, extracting information from the database, and issuing coupons.
[1945] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, order history, coupon information, and other related data.
[1946] Program Processing Overview
[1947] certification
[1948] When a user attempts to log in to the system, the terminal displays a screen for entering a username and password. Once the user completes the input and clicks the "Submit" button, the terminal sends that information to the server. The server uses the received authentication information to query the database and verify whether the user can log in. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal.
[1949] Permission confirmation
[1950] When a user requests access to specific information, the terminal sends the request to the server. The server queries its database for the necessary permission information and, if permission is not granted, displays a prompt to the user via the terminal requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server, and the server updates the permission information.
[1951] Data Extraction
[1952] After the user is granted access permissions, the server extracts the necessary information from the database—for example, order history and coupon information. This process includes strict filtering and search algorithms to ensure the security of personal information.
[1953] Information provision
[1954] The extracted information is sent from the server to the terminal, and the terminal displays that information to the user. For example, if a user requests a coupon, the necessary information will be displayed. After the user confirms the information and clicks the "Issue Coupon" button, the request is sent to the server, which then begins the coupon issuance process.
[1955] Issuance procedure
[1956] Based on the necessary information, the server calls an API to an internal or external coupon issuance service to perform the coupon issuance procedure. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.

[2027] The user enters their username and password to log in to the system. The terminal sends this information to the server. The server queries the database for authentication information and performs authentication. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[2028] Permission confirmation
[2029] When a user requests access to information, the device sends the request to the server. The server queries the database to check the permission status. If permission is required, the device displays a prompt requesting permission. If the user grants permission, that information is sent to the server.
[2030] emotion recognition
[2031] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and facial expressions and sends the results to the server. The server dynamically adjusts its response based on the recognized emotions.
[2032] Data Extraction
[2033] The server extracts the necessary information from the database. If needed, it can also retrieve relevant information from the OpenAI database.
[2034] Information provision
[2035] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal, which then provides that information to the user. The user then verifies the displayed information.
[2036] Issuance procedure
[2037] When a user requests issuance, the device sends the request to the server. The server calls an API to an external issuance service to perform the procedure. Once issuance is complete, the result is sent to the device and notified to the user.

[2039] 1. The process from login to authentication
[2040] The user enters their username and password to log in.
[2041] The device sends authentication information to the server, and the server performs the authentication.
[2042] If authentication is successful, the main menu will be displayed.
[2043] 2. Emotion recognition and permission confirmation
[2044] When a user requests access to information, the device activates an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions.
[2045] The recognized emotion information is sent to the server, which then dynamically adjusts its response based on that information.
[2046] The device will obtain permission from the user as needed.
[2047] 3. Information Extraction and Provision
[2048] The server extracts information from the database and sends it to the terminal.
[2049] The device provides the information to the user, and the user confirms it.

[2052] The server performs the issuance procedure and sends the completion result to the terminal.
[2053] The device displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[2054] Thus, the present invention is a system that uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions and dynamically adjusts the system's overall response based on that information. This improves the user experience.
[2055] The following describes the processing flow.
[2056] Step 1:
[2057] The user clicks the "Login" button. The device prompts the user to enter a username and password. The user enters the required information and clicks the "Submit" button.
[2058] Step 2:
[2059] The terminal sends the entered username and password to the server.
[2060] Step 3:
[2061] Based on the authentication information received by the server, it queries the database to check if the user exists and verifies whether the password matches.
[2062] Step 4:
[2063] The server returns the authentication result to the terminal. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed on the terminal; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[2064] Step 5:
[2065] The user selects the "Request Information Access" option from the main menu. The terminal then prompts the user to choose the type of information they want to access.
[2066] Step 6:
[2067] The user selects the type of information and clicks the "Send" button. The device sends the selected information to the server.
[2068] Step 7:
[2069] The server queries the database to check the permission status for the target information.
[2070] Step 8:
[2071] The server returns the permission status to the terminal. If permission is required, the terminal will display a prompt requesting permission. If the user grants permission, they click the "Grant Permission" button.
[2072] Step 9:
[2073] The device activates its emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. It analyzes voice, facial expressions, text input, etc., to obtain the user's emotion data.
[2074] Step 10:
[2075] The emotion engine sends the recognized emotion data to the server.
[2076] Step 11:
[2077] The server analyzes emotional data and dynamically adjusts its response. For example, if the user is irritated, it displays an appropriate message.
[2078] Step 12:
[2079] The server verifies the permission information and extracts the necessary information from the database. If necessary, it retrieves information from multiple databases.
[2080] Step 13:
[2081] The server extracts the information and sends it to the terminal. The terminal then displays that information to the user.
[2082] Step 14:
[2083] The user reviews the displayed information and clicks the "Publish" button. The terminal sends the user's publication request to the server.
[2084] Step 15:
[2085] The server calls APIs to external card issuance services and insurance card issuance services to carry out the issuance process.
[2086] Step 16:
[2087] The server sends the issuance completion result to the terminal. The terminal displays an issuance completion message to the user.
[2088] Step 17:
[2089] The user should confirm the issuance completion message and take the following actions as needed.
[2090] This processing flow allows users to enjoy a secure and efficient information access and publishing process, including emotion recognition.

[2092] Next, we will describe Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".
[2093] Conventional systems could perform user authentication, data extraction, and information provision, but they lacked the ability to provide dynamic responses that took user emotions into account. As a result, the user experience was uniform, and it was difficult to optimize responses and processing according to the emotional state of individual users.
[2094] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means.
[2095] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to log in using an account, means for verifying authentication information, means for extracting necessary information from a database, means for the terminal to recognize the user's emotions, and means for dynamically adjusting the response based on the emotion recognition information. This makes it possible to recognize the user's emotions using an emotion engine and dynamically adjust the system's overall response based on that information.
[2096] "The means by which a user logs in using an account" refers to the process by which a user enters their identification information (such as a username and password) to gain access to the system.

[2233] Operation: The server calls the API of an external publishing service such as Stripe and executes the publishing procedure.
[2234] Output: Issuance procedure result.
[2235] Step 4:
[2236] Input: Issuance procedure result.
[2237] Operation: The server sends the issuance result to the terminal, and the terminal displays a message to the user indicating that the issuance is complete.
[2238] Output: The publication completion message displayed to the user.
[2239] (Application Example 2)
[2240] Next, we will explain application example 2. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".
[2241] Traditional virtual store systems have suffered from a lack of emotionally responsive service and suggestions, resulting in insufficient information and purchasing support for individual users. This often led to an unsatisfactory user experience and ultimately a decline in purchasing intent. Furthermore, the system's uniform approach, without considering the user's emotional state, tended to result in low service quality. There is a need to solve these problems and improve the user experience.
[2242] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means.
[2243] In this invention, the server includes means for using an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions, means for the emotion engine to analyze the user's voice and facial expressions, and means for dynamically adjusting the response based on the recognized emotion information. This enables appropriate responses and suggestions tailored to the user's individual emotional state.
[2244] "User" refers to an individual or legal entity that uses the system.
[2245] An "account" refers to a dataset containing authentication information that a user uses to access the system.
[2246] A "server" refers to a computer system that verifies user authentication information and performs necessary data processing and access to databases.

[2250] "Voice" and "facial expressions" refer to the data that the emotion engine analyzes to recognize the user's emotions.
[2251] "Response" refers to the act of a system responding to user input or providing information.
[2252] "Dynamic adjustment" refers to changing the system's response in response to real-time changing circumstances.
[2253] A "database" refers to a data storage system that stores related data, such as user information, and allows it to be extracted as needed.
[2254] "Information" refers to the data and knowledge provided to the user.
[2255] "Issuance procedure" refers to a series of operations performed to formally provide specific information or services.
[2256] The embodiments for carrying out this invention are described below. The invention relates to a virtual store system that has the function of recognizing the user's emotions using an emotion engine and dynamically adjusting the response based on those emotions.
[2257] System Configuration
[2258] This system consists of the following main components:
[2259] 1. User terminal: A device that a user accesses and operates (e.g., smart glasses).
[2260] 2. Server: A computer system that performs user authentication, analyzes emotional data, and dynamically adjusts the response content.
[2261] 3. Database: A system that stores user information, permission information, and other related data.
[2262] 4. Emotion Engine: An engine that recognizes the user's emotions and sends the results to the server.
[2263] Program Processing Overview
[2264] certification
[2265] To log in to the system, the user enters their account information. The terminal sends this information to the server, which queries the database for authentication information to perform the authentication. If authentication is successful, the main menu is displayed to the user; if it fails, an error message is displayed.
[2266] emotion recognition
[2267] The device activates an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice and facial expressions and sends the results to a server. Smart glasses equipped with a camera and microphone are used as the emotion engine.
[2268] Dynamic adjustment of response
[2269] The server dynamically adjusts its response based on emotional information sent from the emotion engine. This adjustment includes providing product suggestions and discount coupons tailored to the user's emotional state, thereby improving the user experience.
[2270] Information Extraction
[2271] The server extracts the necessary information from the database. Sentimental information is also considered to ensure that the appropriate information is extracted.
[2272] Information provision
[2273] The server extracts information and sends it to the terminal, which then provides that information to the user. The user reviews the displayed information and takes appropriate actions, such as pressing a purchase button.
[2274] Issuance procedure
[2275] When a user requests the issuance of information or a service, the device sends the request to the server. The server then calls an API or other method to an external issuance service to perform the necessary procedures. Once the issuance is complete, the result is sent to the device and notified to the user.
[2276] Specific example
[2277] For example, if a user is browsing the luxury watch section in a virtual store, and their facial expression is recognized as "surprise," the server will offer a detailed explanation of the luxury and rarity of the watch, along with a discount coupon, thereby increasing the user's desire to purchase.
[2278] Example of a prompt
[2279] "The emotion engine detected 'surprise' when the user was viewing a luxury watch. Please advise on what kind of product descriptions and suggestions would be effective in increasing the user's purchase intent."
[2280] In this way, the user experience can be improved through dynamic response adjustments based on emotional information.
[2281] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.
[2282] Step 1:
[2283] The user enters their account information (username, password) using their device and logs in.
[2284] Input: User-entered account information
[2285] Data processing: The terminal sends the entered account information to the server.
[2286] Output: Sending authentication information from the terminal to the server
[2287] Step 2:
[2288] The server queries the database for the authentication information it receives and authenticates the user.
[2289] Input: Authentication information sent from the device
[2290] Data calculation: Verification against authentication information stored in the database.
[2291] Output: Authentication success or failure
[2292] Step 3:
[2293] The device displays the main menu to the user upon successful authentication. If authentication fails, an error message is displayed.
[2294] Input: Authentication result from the server
[2295] Data processing: Screen display based on authentication results
[2296] Output: Display of the main menu or error messages
[2297] Step 4:
[2298] When a user requests to view products or access information, the device activates an emotion engine to capture the user's voice and facial expressions.
[2299] Input: User information access request
[2300] Data collection: Capture of voice and facial expression data using an emotion engine (camera and microphone in smart glasses).
[2301] Output: Captured audio and facial expression data
[2302] Step 5:
[2303] The emotion engine analyzes captured audio and facial expression data to recognize the user's emotions.
[2304] Input: Captured audio and facial expression data
[2305] Data processing: Analysis using emotion recognition algorithms
[2306] Output: Recognized emotion data (e.g., surprise, joy, sadness, etc.)
[2307] Step 6:
[2308] The server receives recognized emotion data and dynamically adjusts its response.
[2309] Input: Emotional data sent from the emotion engine.
[2310] Data processing: Generate appropriate responses based on sentiment data (e.g., product suggestions, discount coupon offers).
[2311] Output: Dynamically adjusted response content
[2312] Step 7:
[2313] The server extracts the necessary information from the database and incorporates it into the response.
[2314] Input: Request for necessary information
[2315] Data retrieval: Information extraction through database queries.
[2316] Output: Response content including extracted information
[2317] Step 8:
[2318] The server sends the response to the terminal, and the terminal provides that information to the user.
[2319] Input: Response sent from the server
[2320] Data processing: Preparing the response content for display.
[2321] Output: The response provided to the user (e.g., screen display, audio announcement)
[2322] Step 9:
[2323] When a user requests the issuance of specified information or services, the device sends that information to the server.
[2324] Input: User's Issue Request
[2325] Data transmission: Sending a request to the server.
[2326] Output: Sending a publishing request to the server
[2327] Step 10:
[2328] The server calls APIs or other methods to external publishing services to perform procedures and then sends the results to the terminal.
[2329] Input: Issue request data
[2330] Data processing: Issuance procedures via external API calls
[2331] Output: Results of the issuance procedure
[2332] Step 11:
[2333] The terminal notifies the user of the result of the issuance procedure.
[2334] Input: Result of the issuance procedure from the server
[2335] Data processing: Preparing to display the publication results.
[2336] Output: Notification to the user (e.g., screen display, message)
[2337] The above outlines the specific processing steps of the system that implements the application example.
[2338] 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 controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[2339] Data generation model 58 is a type of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). One example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include the following. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and with inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.
[2340] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and the specific processing may also be performed by the robot 414.
[2341] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting 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 a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[2342] Figure 9 shows an emotion map 400 in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.
[2343] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.
[2344] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.
[2345] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, motorcycles, etc., emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[2346] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is 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 the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[2347] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.
[2348] The above description primarily focuses on the functions of the data processing device 12 in relation to this disclosure. However, the system related to this disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system related to this disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. This disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program that runs on a personal computer or as an application that runs on a smartphone. The method related to this disclosure may be provided to users in SaaS (Software as a Service) format.
[2349] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers, including computer 22. For example, a data generation model 58 may be provided in an external device of the data processing device 12, and the external device may generate data according to the input data.
[2350] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.
[2351] 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.
[2352] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety 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 the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.
[2353] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[2354] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of 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). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.
[2355] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.
[2356] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.
