The NG line measurement unit can also analyze the content of the survey responses using AI and measure the NG line. Furthermore, the NG line measurement unit can also measure the NG line based on past survey data. For example, the NG line measurement unit analyzes past survey data and predicts the user's NG line. The reading unit reads movies and dramas that the user wants to watch. The reading unit reads, for example, movie or TV drama files specified by the user. The reading unit can also read movies and TV dramas from streaming services. Furthermore, the reading unit can read movies and TV dramas from DVDs and Blu-ray discs. For example, the reading unit can read DVDs and Blu-ray discs owned by the user. The scene detection unit analyzes scenes from the movies and TV dramas read by the reading unit and detects horror and grotesque scenes. The scene detection unit detects horror and grotesque scenes using, for example, video analysis technology. It can also analyze scenes using AI to detect horror and grotesque scenes. Furthermore, the scene detection unit can detect horror and grotesque scenes using audio analysis technology. For example, the scene detection unit can detect blood and violent scenes in the video. The conversion unit converts the scenes detected by the scene detection unit into cute videos.The conversion unit, for example, uses video conversion technology to convert horror and grotesque scenes into cute videos. The conversion unit can also use AI to convert videos. Furthermore, the conversion unit can use cute characters selected by the user to convert videos. For example, the conversion unit converts a horror scene into a scene of cute anime characters having fun. The commentary generation unit generates commentary audio based on the scenes converted by the conversion unit. The commentary generation unit generates commentary audio using, for example, speech synthesis technology. Furthermore, the commentary generation unit can also use AI to generate commentary audio. Additionally, the commentary generation unit can generate commentary audio using the voice of a voice actor selected by the user. For example, the commentary generation unit generates commentary audio in the voice of a cute character. As a result, the horror & grotesque goodbye software according to this embodiment allows users to enjoy movies and dramas while avoiding horror and grotesque scenes.

[0030] The survey department accepts user surveys. For example, it accepts surveys through a survey form displayed when a user launches the software. Specifically, the survey form includes questions about the user's age, gender, tolerance for horror and grotesque scenes, and preferred genres. The survey department also allows users to answer surveys through a website. On the website, users log in and answer the survey, and the results are saved in the user's profile. Furthermore, the survey department can accept surveys through a mobile application. For example, it allows users to answer surveys using their smartphones. The mobile application can use push notifications to prompt survey responses. This allows the survey department to accept access from a variety of user devices and collect detailed data on user preferences and tolerances. In addition, the survey department uses encryption technology to securely store user response data and protect privacy. This allows users to answer surveys with peace of mind.

[0031] The NG line measurement unit measures the NG line based on questionnaires received by the questionnaire reception unit. For example, the NG line measurement unit analyzes the content of the questionnaires to measure the user's horror / gore NG line. Specifically, it analyzes the content of the questionnaires using natural language processing technology to quantify the user's sensitivity and tolerance. The NG line measurement unit can also analyze the content of the questionnaires and measure the NG line using AI. The AI ​​uses machine learning algorithms to learn the user's response patterns and predict the optimal NG line for each individual user. Furthermore, the NG line measurement unit can also measure the NG line based on past questionnaire data. For example, the NG line measurement unit analyzes past questionnaire data to predict the user's NG line. This allows the NG line measurement unit to accurately measure the acceptable range of horror and gore scenes based on the user's preferences and tolerance. In addition, the NG line measurement unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy of NG line measurement. For example, if a user encounters an unpleasant scene while watching, that information is collected and reflected in the next NG line measurement. This allows the NG line measurement unit to optimize the user experience and provide a more comfortable viewing environment.

[0032] The loading unit loads movies and TV shows that the user wants to watch. For example, the loading unit loads movie or TV show files specified by the user. Specifically, the user selects a video file saved on local storage, and the loading unit analyzes that file. The loading unit can also load movies and TV shows from streaming services. Using the streaming service's API, it searches for the content the user wants to watch and loads the selected content in real time. Furthermore, the loading unit can also load movies and TV shows from DVDs and Blu-ray discs. For example, the loading unit makes it possible to load DVDs and Blu-ray discs owned by the user. This involves the process of reading the physical media through the disc drive and converting it into digital data. The loading unit centrally manages data from these diverse sources, allowing the user to smoothly watch the content. In addition, the loading unit automatically retrieves metadata of the loaded content (title, genre, release year, cast, etc.) and provides it to the user. This allows the user to easily check detailed information about the content they are watching.

[0033] The scene detection unit analyzes scenes from movies and dramas loaded by the loading unit to detect horror and grotesque scenes. For example, the scene detection unit uses video analysis technology to detect horror and grotesque scenes. Specifically, it uses computer vision technology to identify specific patterns and features in the video to identify horror and grotesque scenes. The scene detection unit can also use AI to analyze scenes and detect horror and grotesque scenes. The AI ​​uses a deep learning model to learn complex patterns in the video and classify scenes with high accuracy. Furthermore, the scene detection unit can also use audio analysis technology to detect horror and grotesque scenes. For example, it can detect blood and violent scenes in the video. By using audio analysis technology, it can identify audio patterns specific to horror scenes, such as screams and eerie music. This allows the scene detection unit to analyze both video and audio to detect horror and grotesque scenes with high accuracy. Finally, based on the user's NG line, the scene detection unit evaluates the importance and impact of the detected scenes and provides information for appropriate processing. This allows the scene detection unit to optimize the user's viewing experience and effectively avoid horror and grotesque scenes.

[0034] The conversion unit transforms scenes detected by the scene detection unit into cute videos. For example, the conversion unit can use video conversion technology to transform horror and grotesque scenes into cute videos. Specifically, it removes horror and grotesque elements from the video and inserts cute characters or scenery in their place. The conversion unit can also use AI to transform videos. The AI ​​uses generative AI technology to automatically transform horror scenes into cute scenes. For example, the AI ​​can replace terrifying monsters in horror movies with cute animal characters. Furthermore, the conversion unit can also transform videos using cute characters selected by the user. For example, the conversion unit can transform a horror scene into a scene where cute anime characters are having fun. Users can select their favorite characters in advance and set them to appear in the video. This allows the conversion unit to provide customized video transformations tailored to the user's preferences. In addition, the conversion unit performs the video transformation process in real time, allowing the user to continue watching smoothly. This allows the conversion unit to effectively avoid horror and grotesque scenes and provide the user with an enjoyable viewing experience.

[0035] The commentary generation unit generates commentary audio based on the scene converted by the conversion unit. The commentary generation unit generates commentary audio using, for example, speech synthesis technology. Specifically, it uses a speech synthesis engine to generate narration and commentary that matches the converted scene. The commentary generation unit can also generate commentary audio using AI. The AI ​​uses natural language processing technology to generate appropriate commentary comments based on the content of the scene. Furthermore, the commentary generation unit can generate commentary audio using the voice of a voice actor selected by the user. For example, the commentary generation unit can generate commentary audio in the voice of a cute character. Users can select their preferred voice actor in advance and set the commentary to be performed in that voice actor's voice. This allows the commentary generation unit to provide customized commentary audio that matches the user's preferences. Furthermore, the commentary generation unit can generate commentary audio in real time and synchronize it with the video. This allows users to enjoy the converted scene while listening to immersive commentary. In addition, the commentary generation unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the commentary content. This allows the commentary generation unit to provide users with an enjoyable viewing experience while effectively avoiding horror and grotesque scenes.

[0036] The survey reception unit can analyze a user's past survey response history and select the most appropriate question format. For example, if a user has previously preferred detailed answers, the survey reception unit can provide a detailed question format. For example, if a user has previously preferred concise answers, the survey reception unit can also provide a concise question format. For example, if a user has previously shown interest in a particular topic, the survey reception unit can also provide questions related to that topic. This improves the accuracy of user responses by providing the most appropriate question format based on past response history. Some or all of the above processing in the survey reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the survey reception unit can input the user's past survey response data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the most appropriate question format.

[0037] The NG line measurement unit can analyze the user's past viewing history to select the optimal measurement method when measuring the NG line.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0138] 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.

[0139] Figure 9 shows the 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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, and motorcycles, 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 based, for example, 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.

[0143] 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."

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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 method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.
