[0028] (Example of form 1) The electronic payment system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that aggregates all money flows and manages them digitally in a centralized manner. In this electronic payment system, the user installs an electronic payment app and aggregates all money flows. Next, an AI agent analyzes the user's behavior and records the incurred costs. This makes all money flows, such as salary deposits, shopping, remittances, splitting bills, and investments, automatically visible. Furthermore, using acceleration sensors and GPS, travel costs are calculated and the AI agent makes suggestions for improving income and expenses. This allows the user to centralize money management in the electronic payment app and solve future financial worries. For example, the user installs an electronic payment app and aggregates all money flows. At this time, information such as salary deposits, shopping, remittances, splitting bills, and investments is automatically aggregated in the electronic payment app. For example, when the user receives their salary, that information is automatically reflected in the electronic payment app. Also, when the user makes a purchase, the expenditure information is automatically reflected in the electronic payment app. This allows the user to centrally manage all money flows. Next, an AI agent analyzes the user's behavior and records the incurred costs. For example, when a user travels, the system uses acceleration sensors and GPS to calculate travel costs and record that information. This allows users to understand costs based on their own actions. Furthermore, the AI agent provides suggestions for improving finances. For instance, the AI can offer investment and savings advice based on daily income and expense movements. This allows users to receive optimal advice based on their financial situation. This system allows users to consolidate their money management into an electronic payment app and solve future financial worries. For example, when a user plans their future savings, the AI agent can suggest the optimal savings method, enabling them to save efficiently. Also, when a user invests, the AI agent can suggest the optimal investment destination, allowing them to invest with reduced risk. In this way, by consolidating all money flows into an electronic payment app and having the AI agent analyze actions and record incurred costs, the problem of not being able to manage money digitally in a unified way can be solved.This allows the electronic payment system to centrally manage all of a user's money flows digitally and provide suggestions for improving their financial performance.
[0029] The electronic payment system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a recording unit, and a suggestion unit. The collection unit aggregates all money flows. The collection unit collects information such as salary deposits, purchases, remittances, splitting bills, and investments. For example, the collection unit automatically collects salary deposit information and reflects it in the electronic payment app. The collection unit can also automatically collect shopping expenditure information and reflect it in the electronic payment app. Furthermore, the collection unit can also automatically collect remittance and splitting bill information and reflect it in the electronic payment app. For example, the collection unit automatically obtains salary deposit information from bank accounts and reflects it in the electronic payment app. Shopping expenditure information is automatically obtained from credit card and debit card usage history and reflected in the electronic payment app. Remittance and splitting bill information is automatically obtained from transaction history within the electronic payment app and reflected in the electronic payment app. The analysis unit analyzes user behavior based on the information collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit calculates travel costs using, for example, an acceleration sensor and GPS. The analysis unit can, for example, collect user travel data and calculate travel costs. It can also analyze user behavior patterns and identify cost incurrs. For instance, it can use an accelerometer to measure user travel distance and time and calculate travel costs. It can also use GPS to record user travel routes and calculate travel costs. By analyzing user behavior patterns, it can understand the impact of specific actions on costs. The recording unit records costs incurred based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the recording unit records costs based on user behavior. For instance, it can record travel costs and shopping expenditure information. Furthermore, the recording unit can record costs based on user behavior in detail. For example, it can record travel costs daily and monthly, allowing users to understand cost fluctuations. It can also record shopping expenditure information by category, allowing users to understand the breakdown of their spending. The proposal unit provides suggestions for improving income and expenses based on the information recorded by the recording unit. For example, the proposal unit provides investment and savings advice based on daily income and expense movements. The proposal department can, for example, suggest the most suitable investment destinations based on the user's financial situation.Furthermore, the proposal unit can also suggest the optimal savings method based on the user's income and expenditure situation. For example, the proposal unit can analyze the user's income and expenditure data and suggest investment options that minimize risk. By suggesting the optimal savings method when creating a savings plan, it enables users to save efficiently. As a result, the electronic payment system according to this embodiment can centrally manage all of the user's money flows digitally and make suggestions for improving their income and expenditure.
[0030] The data collection unit aggregates all money flows. For example, it collects information on salary deposits, purchases, remittances, splitting bills, and investments. Specifically, it automatically retrieves salary deposit information from bank accounts and reflects it in electronic payment apps. This allows users to instantly check their salary when it is deposited. Shopping expenditure information is automatically retrieved from credit and debit card transaction history and reflected in electronic payment apps. This allows users to track their daily spending in real time. Remittance and bill-splitting information is automatically retrieved from transaction history within electronic payment apps and reflected in the apps. For example, if a user splits the bill for a meal with a friend, that information is automatically collected and reflected in the app. Furthermore, investment information is also automatically retrieved by the data collection unit. For example, if a user invests in stocks or mutual funds, the transaction information is automatically collected and reflected in the app. This allows users to track their investment status in real time. The data collection unit centrally manages all of this information, making it easy for users to check their income and expenses. Furthermore, the data collection unit can adjust the frequency and accuracy of data collection, enabling flexible responses to specific situations and conditions. For example, it can be set to collect salary payment information once a month, while shopping expenditure information is collected daily. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis department analyzes user behavior based on information collected by the data collection department. Specifically, it calculates travel costs using accelerometers and GPS. For example, it uses the accelerometer installed in the user's smartphone to measure the user's travel distance and time and calculate travel costs. It can also use GPS to record the user's travel route and calculate travel costs. This allows for a detailed understanding of how users travel. The analysis department can also analyze user behavior patterns and identify the factors that cause costs. For example, if a user frequently travels to a specific place at a specific time, the department can understand the impact of that behavior on costs. Furthermore, the analysis department can analyze collected shopping expenditure information to understand users' spending trends. For example, if a user frequently purchases products in a specific category, the department can understand the extent of their spending in that category. This allows for a detailed analysis of users' spending trends and enables the department to make suggestions for reducing unnecessary spending. Based on this information, the analysis department helps users manage their money efficiently by analyzing user behavior in detail and identifying the factors that cause costs.
[0032] The recording unit records costs incurred based on information analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it records costs based on user behavior in detail. For example, it records travel costs and shopping expenses on a daily and monthly basis, allowing users to understand cost fluctuations. Travel costs are calculated based on the user's travel distance and time and recorded on a daily and monthly basis. This allows users to understand the costs associated with their travel in detail. Shopping expenses are recorded by category, allowing users to understand the breakdown of their spending. For example, expenses are recorded in categories such as food, transportation, and entertainment. This allows users to understand their spending trends and take measures to reduce unnecessary spending. Furthermore, by recording costs based on user behavior in detail, the recording unit supports long-term financial management. For example, based on past data, it is possible to understand the trends in income and expenses over a specific period and create future financial plans. This allows users to understand their financial situation in detail and manage their money efficiently. The recording unit centrally manages this information and makes it easily accessible to users. For example, it allows users to easily check their income and expense information within an electronic payment app. This allows the recording unit to help users manage their money efficiently.
[0033] The Proposal Department makes suggestions for improving income and expenses based on information recorded by the Records Department. Specifically, it provides investment and savings advice based on daily income and expense movements. For example, it can suggest optimal investment options based on the user's income and expense situation. It analyzes the user's income and expense data and suggests investment options with reduced risk. For example, if the user has a stable income, it may suggest low-risk investment trusts or government bonds. On the other hand, if the user is seeking high returns, it may suggest stocks or real estate investments. The Proposal Department can also suggest optimal savings methods based on the user's income and expense situation. For example, it analyzes the balance between the user's income and expenses and sets monthly savings targets. Furthermore, the Proposal Department assists users in creating long-term savings plans based on their lifestyle and future goals. For example, if the user wants to buy a house in the future, it will suggest a savings plan for that purpose. This allows the user to save efficiently. The Proposal Department presents these suggestions to the user in an easy-to-understand manner and provides actionable plans. For example, it makes it possible for users to easily check the suggestions and put them into action within the electronic payment app. In this way, the Proposal Department helps users manage their money efficiently and improve their income and expenses. Furthermore, the proposal department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its proposals. This allows the proposal department to provide users with optimal revenue-improvement proposals, supporting their financial stability.

[0064] (Example of form 2) The electronic payment system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that aggregates all money flows and manages them digitally in a centralized manner. In this electronic payment system, the user installs an electronic payment app and aggregates all money flows. Next, an AI agent analyzes the user's behavior and records the incurred costs. This makes all money flows, such as salary deposits, shopping, remittances, splitting bills, and investments, automatically visible. Furthermore, using acceleration sensors and GPS, travel costs are calculated and the AI agent makes suggestions for improving income and expenses.

Next, an AI agent analyzes the user's behavior and records the incurred costs. For example, when a user travels, the system uses acceleration sensors and GPS to calculate travel costs and record that information. This allows users to understand costs based on their own actions. Furthermore, the AI agent provides suggestions for improving finances. For instance, the AI can offer investment and savings advice based on daily income and expense movements. This allows users to receive optimal advice based on their financial situation. This system allows users to consolidate their money management into an electronic payment app and solve future financial worries. For example, when a user plans their future savings, the AI agent can suggest the optimal savings method, enabling them to save efficiently. Also, when a user invests, the AI agent can suggest the optimal investment destination, allowing them to invest with reduced risk.

The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0136] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including 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, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0137] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0138] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0139] 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. 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48.

[0144] 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 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 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.

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.

[0147] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0148] 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.
[0149] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34.

[0151] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0152] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0153] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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. 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.
[0157] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.

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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.).
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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).

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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, recording unit, and proposal unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which automatically collects information on salary deposits and shopping expenses and reflects it in an electronic payment application. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which calculates travel costs using an acceleration sensor and GPS. The recording unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which records costs based on user behavior. The proposal unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which makes suggestions for improving income and expenses. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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."
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
