[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The receiving device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.
[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text). The display 40A displays visible information such as text and images according to instructions from the processor 46. The speaker 40B outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46. The camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system such as a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.
[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.
[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related 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 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] 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.
[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart device 14 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The image generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that achieves an annual cost reduction of 50 million yen by limiting the images used in proposals and meeting materials to those generated by an image generation AI. This image generation system establishes a rule that limits the images used in proposals and meeting materials to those generated by an image generation AI. Next, a multimodal AI is used to check for copyright infringement of the generated images. This significantly reduces the time required to create proposals and meeting materials, thereby achieving cost reductions. Furthermore, by introducing AI tools to streamline the revision and supervisor review processes, further cost reductions can be expected. For example, by establishing a rule that limits the images used in proposals and meeting materials to those generated by an image generation AI, the work of finding appropriate images from internal materials or external copyright-free sites becomes unnecessary, significantly reducing work time. Specifically, while normal image searching takes an average of 3 minutes per page, using an image generation AI can reduce this to an average of 1 minute per page. This is expected to reduce 15,000 hours annually. Next, a multimodal AI is used to check for copyright infringement of the generated images. This allows for automatic checking of whether the generated images infringe on copyright. Specifically, the multimodal AI checks the similarity and reliance of generated images, outputting them only if there are no problems. This reduces the risk of copyright infringement. Furthermore, AI tools will be introduced to streamline the entire process of creating proposals and meeting materials. For example, by introducing AI tools to streamline the revision and supervisor review processes, further cost reductions can be expected. Specifically, revisions usually take an average of 3 minutes per page, but by using AI, this can be reduced to an average of 1 minute per page. This is expected to save 1,800 hours per year. Meeting time for supervisor reviews can also be reduced. Supervisors record their comments via voice, and the AI automatically transcribes and summarizes them, reducing a monthly 30-minute meeting to about 10 minutes. This is expected to save 12,000 hours per year. In this way, by using image generation AI, the time required to create proposals and meeting materials will be significantly reduced, resulting in an annual cost reduction of 50 million yen.Furthermore, the risk of copyright infringement is reduced, and by accumulating internal knowledge, it can be used as material for proposals to corporate clients. As a result, the image generation system can significantly reduce the time required to create proposals and meeting materials, and achieve annual cost savings of 50 million yen.
[0029] The image generation system according to this embodiment comprises an image generation unit, a rights checking unit, an image embedding unit, and a process management unit. The image generation unit generates images to be used in proposals and meeting materials. The image generation unit generates images using, for example, a generation AI. The generation AI is a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or an image generation AI, and the generation AI generates images based on prompts. For example, the image generation unit inputs the prompt "Generate an image of a business meeting" to the generation AI and obtains the generated image. The image generation unit can also input the prompt "Generate a graph suitable for a proposal" to the generation AI and obtain the generated graph. Furthermore, the image generation unit can input the prompt "Generate an illustration suitable for meeting materials" to the generation AI and obtain the generated illustration. The rights checking unit checks for copyright infringement of the images generated by the image generation unit. The rights checking unit checks for similarity and reliance of the generated images using, for example, a multimodal AI. The multimodal AI analyzes both images and text to confirm whether the generated images infringe copyright. For example, the rights check unit inputs the generated images into a multimodal AI to check for similarity and reliance. The rights check unit can also analyze the metadata of the generated images to verify copyright information. Furthermore, the rights check unit can refer to a database of past case precedents to assess the infringement risk of the generated images. The image embedding unit incorporates the images checked by the rights check unit into proposals and meeting materials. For example, the image embedding unit places the generated images in specific locations within the proposal or meeting materials. The image embedding unit adjusts the size and position of images to maintain overall page balance. For example, the image embedding unit automatically adjusts image size to maintain overall page balance. It can also automatically adjust image position to improve visibility. Furthermore, the image embedding unit can automatically generate image captions to clearly communicate the content of the proposal or meeting materials. The process management unit manages the entire process of creating proposals and meeting materials. For example, the process management unit provides real-time updates on the progress of the work.The process management department visualizes the progress of work and shares it with team members. For example, the process management department displays the progress of work as graphs and charts to improve visibility. The process management department can also link with project management tools to update task progress in real time. Furthermore, the process management department can estimate the user's emotions and adjust process priorities based on the estimated user emotions. As a result, the image generation system according to this embodiment can significantly reduce the time required to create proposals and meeting materials, thereby achieving cost reductions.
[0030] The image generation unit generates images for use in proposals and meeting materials. The image generation unit generates images using, for example, a generation AI. This generation AI could be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or an image generation AI, and it generates images based on prompts. Specifically, the image generation unit inputs the prompt "Generate an image of a business meeting" to the generation AI and retrieves the generated image. This prompt can include details such as the layout of the meeting room, the attire of the participants, and the progress of the meeting to concretely depict the business meeting scene. Based on these details, the generation AI generates a realistic image of a business meeting. The image generation unit can also input the prompt "Generate a graph suitable for a proposal" to the generation AI and retrieve the generated graph. In this case, the prompt includes the type of graph (e.g., bar graph, line graph, pie chart), the range and units of the data to display, and color specifications. The generation AI generates a visually easy-to-understand graph according to these instructions. Furthermore, the image generation unit can also input the prompt "Generate an illustration suitable for meeting materials" to the generation AI and retrieve the generated illustration. This prompt includes details such as the illustration's theme, style, color scheme, and specific elements (e.g., people, objects, background). Based on these instructions, the generating AI creates illustrations suitable for meeting materials. This allows the image generation unit to quickly produce a variety of images to meet user needs, improving the quality of proposals and meeting materials.
[0031] The rights checking unit checks for copyright infringement in images generated by the image generation unit. For example, the rights checking unit checks the similarity and reliance of images generated using a multimodal AI. The multimodal AI analyzes both images and text to confirm whether the generated images infringe copyright. Specifically, the rights checking unit inputs the generated images into the multimodal AI and checks for similarity and reliance. This AI compares the generated images with existing image databases to detect if there are images with a high degree of similarity. It also compares them with text databases to confirm whether the generated images rely on specific text or concepts. Furthermore, the rights checking unit can also analyze the metadata of the generated images to verify copyright information. The metadata includes the date and time the image was generated, the version of the generating AI, and the content of the prompts used, and the risk of copyright infringement is assessed based on this information. The rights checking unit can also refer to a database of past case precedents to assess the risk of copyright infringement of the generated images. The case precedent database contains past court cases and judgments regarding copyright infringement, and the risk of the generated images is assessed based on this. This allows the rights checking unit to verify that the generated images are legally sound, ensuring they can be used with confidence.
[0032] The image embedding unit incorporates images checked by the rights check unit into proposals and meeting materials. For example, the image embedding unit places the generated images in specific locations within the proposal or meeting materials. Specifically, the image embedding unit adjusts the size and position of images to maintain overall page balance. For instance, it automatically adjusts image size to maintain overall page balance. It can also automatically adjust image position to improve visibility. Furthermore, the image embedding unit can automatically generate image captions to clearly communicate the content of proposals and meeting materials. Captions concisely explain the content and intent of the image and are automatically generated using AI. For example, the image embedding unit analyzes the content of the generated image and generates an appropriate caption based on that content. This allows the image embedding unit to enhance the visual appeal of proposals and meeting materials and effectively communicate information. Additionally, the image embedding unit allows for manual adjustment of image placement and size, enabling customization to meet user needs. This allows the image embedding unit to improve the quality of proposals and meeting materials and support effective presentations.
[0033] The Process Management Department manages the entire process of creating proposals and meeting materials. For example, the Process Management Department provides real-time updates on work progress. Specifically, it visualizes and shares work progress with team members. For instance, it displays work progress as graphs and charts to improve visibility. It can also integrate with project management tools to update task progress in real time. This allows the entire team to understand the current progress and work efficiently. Furthermore, the Process Management Department can estimate user emotions and adjust process priorities based on these estimates. For example, it analyzes user stress levels and satisfaction levels, and makes adjustments to reduce the workload if stress levels are high. The Process Management Department also automatically sends reminders based on work progress to support meeting deadlines. This allows the Process Management Department to efficiently manage the proposal and meeting material creation process and prevent delays. Additionally, the Process Management Department can analyze past project data to identify areas for improvement to enhance work efficiency. This will allow the process management department to significantly reduce the time spent creating proposals and meeting materials, thereby achieving cost savings.
[0034] The revision response department handles revisions. For example, the revision response department revises proposals and meeting materials. The revision response department manages the revision process and verifies the revisions. For example, the revision response department identifies revisions in proposals and verifies the revisions. It can also identify revisions in meeting materials and verify the revisions. Furthermore, the revision response department can automatically reflect the revisions and update proposals and meeting materials. This streamlines the revision process and is expected to lead to further cost reductions. Some or all of the above processes in the revision response department may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the revision response department can input the revision locations into AI and have AI verify the revisions.
[0035] The Review Management Department streamlines the supervisor review process. For example, the Review Management Department manages the points raised in supervisor reviews and verifies the review content. The Review Management Department allows supervisors to record their points of concern via voice, and AI automatically transcribes and summarizes them. For example, the Review Management Department inputs the supervisor's voice data into the AI and has the AI perform the transcription and summarization. The Review Management Department also reduces the meeting time for supervisor reviews. For example, the Review Management Department can reduce a monthly 30-minute meeting to about 10 minutes. This streamlines the supervisor review process and is expected to lead to further cost reductions. Some or all of the above processes in the Review Management Department may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the Review Management Department can input the supervisor's voice data into the AI and have the AI perform the transcription and summarization.
[0036] The image generation unit generates images using a generation AI. The image generation unit generates images by inputting prompts to the generation AI, for example. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or an image generation AI, and the generation AI generates images based on the prompts. For example, the image generation unit inputs the prompt "Generate an image of a business meeting" to the generation AI and retrieves the generated image. The image generation unit can also input the prompt "Generate a graph suitable for a proposal" to the generation AI and retrieve the generated graph. Furthermore, the image generation unit can input the prompt "Generate an illustration suitable for meeting materials" to the generation AI and retrieve the generated illustration. This improves the efficiency of image generation by using a generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processes in the image generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without using a generation AI. For example, the image generation unit inputs prompts to the generation AI and generates images.
[0037] The rights checking unit checks the similarity and reliance of images generated using a multimodal AI. For example, the rights checking unit inputs the generated image into the multimodal AI and checks its similarity and reliance. The multimodal AI analyzes both the image and text to confirm whether the generated image infringes copyright. For example, the rights checking unit inputs the generated image into the multimodal AI and checks its similarity and reliance. The rights checking unit can also analyze the metadata of the generated image to confirm copyright information. Furthermore, the rights checking unit can refer to a database of past case precedents to assess the risk of copyright infringement of the generated image. This reduces the risk of copyright infringement by using a multimodal AI. Some or all of the above processing in the rights checking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the rights checking unit inputs the generated image into the multimodal AI and checks its similarity and reliance.
[0038] The image generation unit automatically selects the theme and color tone of the generated images according to the content of the proposal or meeting materials. For example, if the proposal is business-oriented, the image generation unit will select a professional color tone and design. If the meeting materials are creative, the image generation unit can also select a colorful and inspiring design. Furthermore, if the proposal is technical, the image generation unit can select a simple and technical design. This ensures that appropriate images are provided according to the content of the proposal or meeting materials. Some or all of the above processing in the image generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or not. For example, the image generation unit can input the content of the proposal or meeting materials into a generation AI and have the generation AI select the image theme and color tone.
[0039] The image generation unit adds a function to the generated images that reflect the company's brand guidelines. For example, the image generation unit automatically generates images that reflect the company's logo and color palette. The image generation unit can also generate images that include text using the company's font style. Furthermore, the image generation unit can generate images that incorporate design elements based on the company's visual identity. This allows for the provision of images that comply with the company's brand guidelines. Some or all of the above processing in the image generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or not using a generation AI. For example, the image generation unit can input the company's brand guidelines into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the image generation.
[0040] The image generation unit reflects the design patterns of the user's past proposals and meeting materials in the images it generates. For example, the image generation unit generates images that reflect the color tones and design elements the user has used in the past. The image generation unit can also generate images based on the layout patterns of the user's past proposals and meeting materials. Furthermore, the image generation unit can analyze the user's past design style and generate consistent images. This allows for the provision of consistent images based on the user's past design patterns. Some or all of the above processing in the image generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the image generation unit can input the user's past design patterns into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform image generation.
[0041] The image generation unit incorporates the user's geographical background and cultural elements into the images it generates. For example, the image generation unit generates images that reflect geographical elements based on the user's location. The image generation unit can also generate images that incorporate design elements based on the user's cultural background. Furthermore, the image generation unit can generate images that use symbols or icons specific to the user's region. This allows the system to provide images that are tailored to the user's geographical background and cultural elements. Some or all of the above-described processes in the image generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the image generation unit can input the user's geographical background and cultural elements into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the image generation.
[0042] The rights checking unit adds a function to the rights infringement check of generated images that refers to a database of past case precedents. The rights checking unit evaluates the risk of the generated image based on past copyright infringement cases, for example. The rights checking unit can also refer to the case precedent database to check for the existence of similar cases. Furthermore, the rights checking unit can automatically evaluate the legal risk of the generated image based on the case precedent database. This allows for the evaluation of rights infringement risk by referring to the database of past case precedents. Some or all of the above processing in the rights checking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the rights checking unit can input the generated image into the case precedent database and have AI perform the risk evaluation.
[0043] The rights checking unit adds a function to analyze the image metadata for checking the rights infringement of generated images. For example, the rights checking unit analyzes the metadata of the generated image and verifies the copyright information. The rights checking unit can also automatically check the source and rights information of the image based on the metadata. Furthermore, the rights checking unit can evaluate the rights infringement risk of the generated image through metadata analysis. This allows for the evaluation of rights infringement risk by analyzing the image metadata. Some or all of the above processing in the rights checking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the rights checking unit can input the metadata of the generated image into AI and have the AI perform the risk assessment.
[0044] The rights checking unit incorporates the user's industry-specific rights information into the rights infringement check of the generated images. For example, the rights checking unit performs rights checks based on copyright information specific to the user's industry. The rights checking unit can also refer to industry-specific rights information and assess the risks of the generated images. Furthermore, the rights checking unit can perform rights checks based on industry guidelines to minimize risks. This enables the provision of rights checks based on the user's industry-specific rights information. Some or all of the above processing in the rights checking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the rights checking unit can input industry-specific rights information into AI and have the AI perform a risk assessment.
[0045] The rights checking unit refers to a rights information database that is updated in real time to check for rights infringement of the generated images. The rights checking unit performs rights checks based on copyright information that is updated in real time, for example. The rights checking unit can also refer to the latest rights information database and evaluate the risks of the generated images. Furthermore, the rights checking unit can automatically evaluate the legal risks of the generated images based on the real-time database. This allows the unit to provide checks based on the latest rights information by referring to a rights information database that is updated in real time. Some or all of the above processing in the rights checking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the rights checking unit can input a rights information database that is updated in real time into AI and have the AI perform a risk assessment.
[0046] The image embedding unit adds a function to automatically generate context-appropriate captions when images are embedded in proposals or meeting materials. For example, the image embedding unit can automatically generate appropriate captions based on the content of the proposal. The image embedding unit can also automatically generate context-appropriate explanatory text for meeting materials. Furthermore, the image embedding unit can automatically generate relevant captions based on the content of the image. This allows for clearer communication of the content of proposals and meeting materials by automatically generating context-appropriate captions. Some or all of the above processing in the image embedding unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the image embedding unit can input the content of an image into a generation AI and have the generation AI generate the caption.
[0047] The image embedding section adds a function to automatically adjust the overall balance of the page layout when embedding images. For example, the image embedding section automatically adjusts the size and position of images to maintain the overall balance of the page. The image embedding section can also optimize the placement of text and images to improve readability. Furthermore, the image embedding section can automatically adjust the placement of images while considering the overall design of the page layout.

For example, the image embedding unit can input the user's past layout patterns into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the placement adjustments.
[0049] The image embedding unit selects the optimal display method when embedding an image, taking into account the user's device information. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the image embedding unit provides a display method that matches the screen size. If the user is using a tablet, the image embedding unit can also provide a display method optimized for a larger screen. Furthermore, if the user is using a desktop, the image embedding unit can provide a display method that supports high resolution.

[0064] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0065] Step 1: The image generation unit generates images to be used in proposals and meeting materials. The image generation unit generates images using generation AI and generates images based on prompts. For example, if you input the prompt "Generate an image of a business meeting," you can obtain the generated image. You can also input prompts such as "Generate a graph suitable for a proposal" or "Generate an illustration suitable for meeting materials," and obtain the graph or illustration generated accordingly. Step 2: The rights checking unit checks for copyright infringement in the images generated by the image generation unit. The rights checking unit uses a multimodal AI to check the similarity and reliance of the generated images to confirm whether copyright is infringed. For example, the generated images are input into the multimodal AI to check for similarity and reliance. It can also analyze the metadata of the generated images to confirm copyright information. Furthermore, it can refer to a database of past case precedents to assess the risk of copyright infringement of the generated images. Step 3: The image embedding unit embeds the images checked by the rights check unit into the proposal or meeting materials. The image embedding unit places the generated images in specific locations on the proposal or meeting materials, and adjusts the size and position of the images to maintain the overall balance of the page. For example, it can automatically adjust the size of the images to maintain the overall balance of the page. It can also automatically adjust the position of the images to improve visibility. Furthermore, it can automatically generate image captions to clearly convey the content of the proposal or meeting materials. Step 4: The process management department manages the entire process of creating proposals and meeting materials. The process management department notifies and visualizes the progress of work in real time and shares it with team members. For example, it can display the progress of work as graphs and charts to improve visibility. It can also integrate with project management tools to update task progress in real time. Furthermore, it can estimate user sentiment and adjust process priorities based on the estimated user sentiment.
[0066] (Example of form 2) The image generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that achieves an annual cost reduction of 50 million yen by limiting the images used in proposals and meeting materials to those generated by an image generation AI. This image generation system establishes a rule that limits the images used in proposals and meeting materials to those generated by an image generation AI. Next, a multimodal AI is used to check for copyright infringement of the generated images. This significantly reduces the time required to create proposals and meeting materials, thereby achieving cost reductions. Furthermore, by introducing AI tools to streamline the revision and supervisor review processes, further cost reductions can be expected. For example, by establishing a rule that limits the images used in proposals and meeting materials to those generated by an image generation AI, the work of finding appropriate images from internal materials or external copyright-free sites becomes unnecessary, significantly reducing work time. Specifically, while normal image searching takes an average of 3 minutes per page, using an image generation AI can reduce this to an average of 1 minute per page. This is expected to reduce 15,000 hours annually. Next, a multimodal AI is used to check for copyright infringement of the generated images. This allows for automatic checking of whether the generated images infringe on copyright. Specifically, the multimodal AI checks the similarity and reliance of generated images, outputting them only if there are no problems. This reduces the risk of copyright infringement. Furthermore, AI tools will be introduced to streamline the entire process of creating proposals and meeting materials. For example, by introducing AI tools to streamline the revision and supervisor review processes, further cost reductions can be expected. Specifically, revisions usually take an average of 3 minutes per page, but by using AI, this can be reduced to an average of 1 minute per page. This is expected to save 1,800 hours per year. Meeting time for supervisor reviews can also be reduced. Supervisors record their comments via voice, and the AI automatically transcribes and summarizes them, reducing a monthly 30-minute meeting to about 10 minutes. This is expected to save 12,000 hours per year. In this way, by using image generation AI, the time required to create proposals and meeting materials will be significantly reduced, resulting in an annual cost reduction of 50 million yen.Furthermore, the risk of copyright infringement is reduced, and by accumulating internal knowledge, it can be used as material for proposals to corporate clients. As a result, the image generation system can significantly reduce the time required to create proposals and meeting materials, resulting in annual cost savings of 50 million yen.
[0067] The image generation system according to this embodiment comprises an image generation unit, a rights checking unit, an image embedding unit, and a process management unit. The image generation unit generates images to be used in proposals and meeting materials. The image generation unit generates images using, for example, a generation AI. The generation AI is a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or an image generation AI, and the generation AI generates images based on prompts. For example, the image generation unit inputs the prompt "Generate an image of a business meeting" to the generation AI and obtains the generated image. The image generation unit can also input the prompt "Generate a graph suitable for a proposal" to the generation AI and obtain the generated graph. Furthermore, the image generation unit can input the prompt "Generate an illustration suitable for meeting materials" to the generation AI and obtain the generated illustration. The rights checking unit checks for copyright infringement of the images generated by the image generation unit. The rights checking unit checks for similarity and reliance of the generated images using, for example, a multimodal AI. The multimodal AI analyzes both images and text to confirm whether the generated images infringe copyright. For example, the rights check unit inputs the generated images into a multimodal AI to check for similarity and reliance. The rights check unit can also analyze the metadata of the generated images to verify copyright information. Furthermore, the rights check unit can refer to a database of past case precedents to assess the infringement risk of the generated images. The image embedding unit incorporates the images checked by the rights check unit into proposals and meeting materials. For example, the image embedding unit places the generated images in specific locations within the proposal or meeting materials. The image embedding unit adjusts the size and position of images to maintain overall page balance. For example, the image embedding unit automatically adjusts image size to maintain overall page balance. It can also automatically adjust image position to improve visibility. Furthermore, the image embedding unit can automatically generate image captions to clearly communicate the content of the proposal or meeting materials. The process management unit manages the entire process of creating proposals and meeting materials. For example, the process management unit provides real-time updates on the progress of the work.The process management department visualizes the progress of work and shares it with team members. For example, the process management department displays the progress of work as graphs and charts to improve visibility. The process management department can also link with project management tools to update task progress in real time. Furthermore, the process management department can estimate the user's emotions and adjust process priorities based on the estimated user emotions. As a result, the image generation system according to this embodiment can significantly reduce the time required to create proposals and meeting materials, thereby achieving cost reductions.
[0068] The image generation unit generates images for use in proposals and meeting materials. The image generation unit generates images using, for example, a generation AI. This generation AI could be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or an image generation AI, and it generates images based on prompts. Specifically, the image generation unit inputs the prompt "Generate an image of a business meeting" to the generation AI and retrieves the generated image. This prompt can include details such as the layout of the meeting room, the attire of the participants, and the progress of the meeting to concretely depict the business meeting scene. Based on these details, the generation AI generates a realistic image of a business meeting. The image generation unit can also input the prompt "Generate a graph suitable for a proposal" to the generation AI and retrieve the generated graph. In this case, the prompt includes the type of graph (e.g., bar graph, line graph, pie chart), the range and units of the data to display, and color specifications. The generation AI generates a visually easy-to-understand graph according to these instructions. Furthermore, the image generation unit can also input the prompt "Generate an illustration suitable for meeting materials" to the generation AI and retrieve the generated illustration. This prompt includes details such as the illustration's theme, style, color scheme, and specific elements (e.g., people, objects, background). Based on these instructions, the generating AI creates illustrations suitable for meeting materials. This allows the image generation unit to quickly produce a variety of images to meet user needs, improving the quality of proposals and meeting materials.
[0069] The rights checking unit checks for copyright infringement in images generated by the image generation unit. For example, the rights checking unit checks the similarity and reliance of images generated using a multimodal AI. The multimodal AI analyzes both images and text to confirm whether the generated images infringe copyright. Specifically, the rights checking unit inputs the generated images into the multimodal AI and checks for similarity and reliance. This AI compares the generated images with existing image databases to detect if there are images with a high degree of similarity. It also compares them with text databases to confirm whether the generated images rely on specific text or concepts. Furthermore, the rights checking unit can also analyze the metadata of the generated images to verify copyright information. The metadata includes the date and time the image was generated, the version of the generating AI, and the content of the prompts used, and the risk of copyright infringement is assessed based on this information. The rights checking unit can also refer to a database of past case precedents to assess the risk of copyright infringement of the generated images. The case precedent database contains past court cases and judgments regarding copyright infringement, and the risk of the generated images is assessed based on this. This allows the rights checking unit to verify that the generated images are legally sound, ensuring they can be used with confidence.
[0070] The image embedding unit incorporates images checked by the rights check unit into proposals and meeting materials. For example, the image embedding unit places the generated images in specific locations within the proposal or meeting materials. Specifically, the image embedding unit adjusts the size and position of images to maintain overall page balance. For instance, it automatically adjusts image size to maintain overall page balance. It can also automatically adjust image position to improve visibility. Furthermore, the image embedding unit can automatically generate image captions to clearly communicate the content of proposals and meeting materials. Captions concisely explain the content and intent of the image and are automatically generated using AI. For example, the image embedding unit analyzes the content of the generated image and generates an appropriate caption based on that content. This allows the image embedding unit to enhance the visual appeal of proposals and meeting materials and effectively communicate information. Additionally, the image embedding unit allows for manual adjustment of image placement and size, enabling customization to meet user needs. This allows the image embedding unit to improve the quality of proposals and meeting materials and support effective presentations.

For example, the Process Management Department provides real-time updates on work progress. Specifically, it visualizes and shares work progress with team members. For instance, it displays work progress as graphs and charts to improve visibility. It can also integrate with project management tools to update task progress in real time. This allows the entire team to understand the current progress and work efficiently. Furthermore, the Process Management Department can estimate user emotions and adjust process priorities based on these estimates. For example, it analyzes user stress levels and satisfaction levels, and makes adjustments to reduce the workload if stress levels are high. The Process Management Department also automatically sends reminders based on work progress to support meeting deadlines. This allows the Process Management Department to efficiently manage the proposal and meeting material creation process and prevent delays. Additionally, the Process Management Department can analyze past project data to identify areas for improvement to enhance work efficiency. This will allow the process management department to significantly reduce the time spent creating proposals and meeting materials, thereby achieving cost savings.
[0072] The revision response department handles revisions. For example, the revision response department revises proposals and meeting materials. The revision response department manages the revision process and verifies the revisions. For example, the revision response department identifies revisions in proposals and verifies the revisions. It can also identify revisions in meeting materials and verify the revisions. Furthermore, the revision response department can automatically reflect the revisions and update proposals and meeting materials. This streamlines the revision process and is expected to lead to further cost reductions. Some or all of the above processes in the revision response department may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the revision response department can input the revision locations into AI and have AI verify the revisions.
[0073] The Review Management Department streamlines the supervisor review process. For example, the Review Management Department manages the points raised in supervisor reviews and verifies the review content. The Review Management Department allows supervisors to record their points of concern via voice, and AI automatically transcribes and summarizes them. For example, the Review Management Department inputs the supervisor's voice data into the AI and has the AI perform the transcription and summarization. The Review Management Department also reduces the meeting time for supervisor reviews. For example, the Review Management Department can reduce a monthly 30-minute meeting to about 10 minutes. This streamlines the supervisor review process and is expected to lead to further cost reductions. Some or all of the above processes in the Review Management Department may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the Review Management Department can input the supervisor's voice data into the AI and have the AI perform the transcription and summarization.

The rights checking unit can also analyze the metadata of the generated image to confirm copyright information. Furthermore, the rights checking unit can refer to a database of past case precedents to assess the risk of copyright infringement of the generated image. This reduces the risk of copyright infringement by using a multimodal AI. Some or all of the above processing in the rights checking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the rights checking unit inputs the generated image into the multimodal AI and checks its similarity and reliance.
[0076] The image generation unit estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the style of the generated image based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is tense, the image generation unit can generate an image with calm tones. If the user is relaxed, the image generation unit can also generate an image with bright and cheerful tones. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the image generation unit can generate a simple and highly visible image. This allows for the generation of more appropriate images by providing image styles that correspond to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the image generation unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the image generation unit can input user emotion data into an AI and have the AI perform image style adjustments.
[0077] The image generation unit automatically selects the theme and color tone of the generated images according to the content of the proposal or meeting materials. For example, if the proposal is business-oriented, the image generation unit will select a professional color tone and design. If the meeting materials are creative, the image generation unit can also select a colorful and inspiring design. Furthermore, if the proposal is technical, the image generation unit can select a simple and technical design. This ensures that appropriate images are provided according to the content of the proposal or meeting materials. Some or all of the above processing in the image generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or not. For example, the image generation unit can input the content of the proposal or meeting materials into a generation AI and have the generation AI select the image theme and color tone.

For example, the image generation unit can input the company's brand guidelines into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the image generation.
[0079] The image generation unit estimates the user's emotions and provides multiple variations of images based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is tense, the image generation unit can provide variations of images with calm tones and simple designs. If the user is relaxed, the image generation unit can also provide variations of images with bright, cheerful tones and creative designs. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the image generation unit can provide variations of images with simple, highly visible designs and efficient designs. This allows for the provision of multiple image variations tailored to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or a generative AI.

[0157] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0158] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0164] 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. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.
[0165] 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.
[0166] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0171] 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).

[0172] 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.
[0173] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the image generation unit, rights check unit, image embedding unit, process management unit, modification response unit, and review management unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the image generation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The rights check unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The image embedding unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The process management unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The modification response unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The review management unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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."
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.

Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. 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.
