[0028] (Example of form 1) The event setup support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that incorporates VMD (Visual Merchandising) indicators and utilizes AI to propose effective revision plans for the setup and revision of events held in commercial facilities. The event setup support system takes images of the event setup as input, the AI analyzes the images, and generates revision plans based on VMD indicators. The generated revision plans are provided to the person in charge as specific advice. This system standardizes the quality of setups and reduces the time required for revisions. For example, images of the event setup are input. At this time, images including the overall setup and details of each display are taken and input to the AI. For example, images of the overall event venue and the displays of each booth are taken. This information is input to the AI. Next, the AI analyzes the input images. The AI analyzes the images based on VMD indicators and identifies problems and areas for improvement in the setup. For example, it can identify cases where the display placement is inappropriate or where there is a lack of visually appealing elements. Based on the problems and areas for improvement identified by the AI, the system generates revised suggestions. These suggestions are provided to the person in charge as specific advice. For example, they may include suggestions to change the placement of displays or to add visually appealing elements. In this way, the person in charge can improve the setup based on these specific suggestions. This system ensures consistent setup quality. Because the AI proposes revisions based on objective indicators, rather than relying on the intuition or sense of the person in charge, the quality of the setup is kept consistent. Furthermore, the time required for revisions is reduced. Because the AI generates revision suggestions quickly, the person in charge can receive specific advice in a short amount of time. For example, images taken after setup can be input into the AI, and revision suggestions can be received within minutes. In addition, the AI can continuously learn and improve the accuracy of its revision suggestions. For example, it can learn from past revision suggestions and their results to generate more effective suggestions. This further improves the quality of the setup and increases the success rate of events.As a result, the event setup support system can incorporate VMD (Visual Merchandising) metrics and use AI to propose effective modification plans for the setup and modification of events held within commercial facilities.
[0029] The event setup support system according to this embodiment comprises an image input unit, an analysis unit, a revised proposal generation unit, and a provision unit. The image input unit inputs the setup status of the event as an image. The image input unit can, for example, use a camera to capture the overall setup and details of each display. The image input unit can, for example, use a high-resolution camera to acquire detailed images. The image input unit can also, for example, use a drone to acquire images from above. Furthermore, the image input unit can also, for example, easily acquire images using a smartphone camera. The analysis unit analyzes the images input by the image input unit. The analysis unit can, for example, use AI to analyze the images and identify problems and areas for improvement in the setup. The analysis unit can, for example, identify cases where the display placement is inappropriate or where there is a lack of visually appealing elements. Furthermore, the analysis unit can, for example, use AI to automatically identify specific display elements within the image. Furthermore, the analysis unit can, for example, use AI to analyze the color balance and lighting conditions within the image. The revision proposal generation unit generates revision proposals based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. The revision proposal generation unit can, for example, use AI to generate revision proposals and provide them as specific advice. The revision proposal generation unit can generate, for example, suggestions to change the display layout or suggestions to add visually appealing elements. The revision proposal generation unit can also, for example, learn from past revision proposals and their results to improve the accuracy of the revision proposals. Furthermore, the revision proposal generation unit can, for example, use AI to determine the priority of revision proposals. The provision unit provides the revision proposals generated by the revision proposal generation unit. The provision unit provides the revision proposals as, for example, specific advice. The provision unit can, for example, provide revision proposals quickly. Furthermore, the provision unit can, for example, estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of providing revision proposals based on the estimated user emotions. Furthermore, the provision unit can, for example, select the optimal provision method considering the user's device information. As a result, the event setup support system according to the embodiment can efficiently analyze the setup status of an event and provide revision proposals.
[0030] The image input unit inputs images of the setup status of events and exhibitions. For example, the image input unit uses a camera to capture the overall setup and details of each display. Specifically, by using a high-resolution camera, even the smallest details of the setup can be captured clearly. This makes it possible to record not only the overall setup but also the placement of each display and the details of the decorations in detail. In addition, by using a drone, wide-area images can be obtained from above, allowing for an overview of the overall layout of the setup and the flow of people. Furthermore, by using a smartphone camera, the setup status can be easily photographed and immediately input into the system. This allows on-site personnel to quickly record the setup status and reflect it in the system in real time. The image input unit centrally manages images from these various devices and transmits them to the analysis unit.

For example, by learning successful layout and decoration patterns from past events and applying them to the current setup, it can generate more effective revision proposals. Furthermore, the AI can prioritize revision proposals and propose improvements in order of effectiveness. This allows the revision proposal generation unit to quickly provide efficient and effective revision proposals, supporting the optimization of the setup. In addition, the revision proposal generation unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the revision proposals. This allows the revision proposal generation unit to always provide highly accurate revision proposals based on the latest information, supporting the optimization of the setup.
[0033] The service provider provides the proposed revisions generated by the proposed revision generation unit. The service provider provides the proposed revisions as specific advice, for example. Specifically, it can provide proposed revisions quickly, allowing users to implement them immediately. The service provider can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of providing the proposed revisions based on those emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the service provider can provide the proposed revisions with gentle language and encouraging messages. Furthermore, the service provider can select the optimal method of delivery considering the user's device information. For example, it can provide proposed revisions to smartphone users via push notifications or in-app messages, and to PC users via email or dashboards. This allows the service provider to provide proposed revisions to users in the most optimal way and support the optimization of the setup. In addition, the service provider can collect user feedback and continuously improve the method and content of providing proposed revisions. This allows the service provider to always provide highly accurate proposed revisions based on the latest information and support the optimization of the setup.

For example, it generates revision proposals considering visual arrangement, color balance, and lighting conditions. For example, it can generate proposals to change the display arrangement or to add visually appealing elements. Furthermore, it can generate proposals to optimize the display arrangement and color balance based on VMD indicators. Additionally, it can generate proposals to adjust lighting conditions based on VMD indicators. This allows for improved setup quality by generating revision proposals based on VMD indicators.
[0035] The service provider can offer specific advice, such as suggestions for revising the display layout or adding visually appealing elements. They can also provide detailed explanations of the revisions and show how the person in charge should implement them. Furthermore, they can provide diagrams or illustrations to visually represent the revisions. Additionally, they can provide specific steps for implementing the revisions. By providing specific advice, the accuracy of the revisions can be improved.
[0036] The analysis unit can identify problems and areas for improvement in the setup.

For example, the revision proposal generation unit can generate more effective revision proposals based on past revision proposals and their results. Furthermore, the revision proposal generation unit can analyze past revision proposals and their results and build a feedback loop to improve the accuracy of revision proposals. In addition, the revision proposal generation unit can continuously learn from past revision proposals and their results using AI to improve the accuracy of revision proposals.

The event setup support system takes images of the event setup as input, the AI analyzes the images, and generates revision plans based on VMD indicators. The generated revision plans are provided to the person in charge as specific advice. This system standardizes the quality of setups and reduces the time required for revisions. For example, images of the event setup are input. At this time, images including the overall setup and details of each display are taken and input to the AI. For example, images of the overall event venue and the displays of each booth are taken. This information is input to the AI. Next, the AI analyzes the input images. The AI analyzes the images based on VMD indicators and identifies problems and areas for improvement in the setup. For example, it can identify cases where the display placement is inappropriate or where there is a lack of visually appealing elements. Based on the problems and areas for improvement identified by the AI, the system generates revised suggestions. These suggestions are provided to the person in charge as specific advice. For example, they may include suggestions to change the placement of displays or to add visually appealing elements. In this way, the person in charge can improve the setup based on these specific suggestions. This system ensures consistent setup quality.

High-resolution cameras, drones, smartphone cameras, etc., can be used to obtain detailed images. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the image input by the image input unit. For example, it uses AI to analyze the image and identify problems and areas for improvement in the setup. It can identify cases where the display placement is inappropriate or where there is a lack of visually appealing elements. It can also automatically identify specific display elements within the image and analyze the color balance and lighting conditions. Step 3: The revision proposal generation unit generates revision proposals based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, it can use AI to generate revision proposals and provide them as specific advice. It can generate suggestions such as changing the display layout or adding visually appealing elements. It can also learn from past revision proposals and their results to improve the accuracy of the revision proposals. Furthermore, it can determine the priority of the revision proposals. Step 4: The delivery unit provides the proposed revisions generated by the proposed revision generation unit. For example, it can quickly provide proposed revisions as specific advice. It can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of providing the proposed revisions based on the estimated user emotions. It can also select the optimal delivery method by considering the user's device information.

The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0153] 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. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0154] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0155] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).
[0156] 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.
[0157] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. 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 inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.
[0158] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0159] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the image input unit, analysis unit, revision proposal generation unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the image input unit can use the camera 42 of the robot 414 to capture the overall picture of the setup and details of each display. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and uses AI to analyze the images and identify problems and areas for improvement in the setup. The revision proposal generation unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and generates revision proposals based on the analysis results. The provision unit is implemented in the control unit 46A of the robot 414, for example, and provides the generated revision proposals to the person in charge. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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."
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.

Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
