[0028] (Example of form 1) The cashless payment management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that seamlessly manages and optimizes cashless payments for travelers. This cashless payment management system aims to eliminate the hassle of travelers researching and preparing different cashless payment methods for each country or region they visit, and to provide the most suitable payment method locally. Specifically, first, the AI ​​automatically selects the cashless payment method for the country or region the traveler is visiting and centrally manages the necessary apps and virtual cards. Next, it aims to reduce costs by selecting the optimal exchange rate and fees. It also provides real-time guidance on stores that accept local currency and cashless payments, and the AI ​​quickly provides solutions in the event of payment errors or fraudulent use. Furthermore, it provides an integrated API for companies to develop a payment environment for tourists using GlobalPay AI. This mechanism allows travelers to use cashless payments without worrying about their destination, maximizing the freedom and convenience of travel. First, the AI ​​automatically selects the cashless payment method for the country or region the traveler is visiting. In this process, the AI ​​collects cashless payment information for each country and proposes the most suitable payment method for the traveler. For example, if a traveler is going to Japan, the AI ​​will list the cashless payment methods popular in Japan and automatically install the necessary apps or virtual cards. This makes it easy for travelers to prepare for cashless payments locally. Next, it aims to reduce costs by selecting the optimal exchange rate and fees. The AI ​​compares the local currency with the exchange rate and fees in real time and presents the most cost-effective option. For example, if a traveler is going to the United States, the AI ​​will compare the dollar-yen exchange rate and suggest the payment method with the lowest fees. This allows travelers to use cashless payments while keeping costs down. Furthermore, it provides real-time information on stores that accept local currency and cashless payments. The AI ​​knows the traveler's current location and guides them to nearby stores that accept cashless payments. For example, if a traveler is in France, the AI ​​will guide them in real time to nearby restaurants and shops that accept cashless payments. This allows travelers to pay with peace of mind even if they are short on local currency. In addition, the AI ​​will quickly provide solutions in the event of payment errors or fraudulent use.When the AI ​​detects payment errors or fraudulent activity, it immediately notifies the traveler and guides them through the process, such as suspending the transaction or providing alternative methods. For example, if fraudulent activity is detected in a traveler's account in Italy, the AI ​​will immediately notify them and guide them through the process, such as suspending the transaction or providing alternative methods. This allows travelers to use cashless payments with peace of mind. Finally, GlobalPay provides an integrated API that enables businesses to leverage AI to develop payment environments for tourists. Businesses can use this API to develop cashless payment environments for tourists. For example, travel agencies and airlines can use this API to provide cashless payment services to tourists. This improves the payment environment for tourists and enhances convenience for travelers. As a result, cashless payment management systems can seamlessly manage and optimize cashless payments for travelers.

[0029] The cashless payment management system according to this embodiment comprises a selection unit, a management unit, a guidance unit, a solution unit, and a provision unit. The selection unit automatically selects the most suitable payment method for the traveler's destination. The selection unit, for example, collects cashless information from various countries and proposes the most suitable payment method for the traveler. For example, if the traveler is going to Japan, the selection unit lists the cashless payment methods prevalent in Japan and automatically installs the necessary apps and virtual cards. The management unit centrally manages the payment methods selected by the selection unit. For example, the management unit centrally manages the necessary apps and virtual cards. For example, the management unit centrally manages information on apps and virtual cards used by travelers and makes them easily accessible to travelers. The guidance unit provides real-time information on stores that accept local currency or cashless payments based on the payment methods managed by the management unit. For example, the guidance unit determines the traveler's current location and guides them to nearby stores that accept cashless payments. For example, if the traveler is in France, the guidance unit provides real-time information on nearby restaurants and shops that accept cashless payments. The resolution unit provides rapid solutions in the event of payment errors or fraudulent use. For example, if the resolution unit detects a payment error or fraudulent use, it immediately notifies the traveler and guides them through the process of suspending use or providing alternative methods. For example, if fraudulent use is detected on a traveler in Italy, the resolution unit immediately notifies them and guides them through the process of suspending use or providing alternative methods. The provision unit provides an integrated API for companies to develop a payment environment for tourists. For example, the provision unit provides an integrated API for companies to develop a payment environment for tourists using GlobalPay AI. For example, travel agencies and airlines can use this API to provide cashless payment services for tourists. As a result, the cashless payment management system according to the embodiment can seamlessly manage and optimize cashless payments for travelers.

[0030] The selection unit automatically selects the most suitable payment method for the traveler's destination. For example, it collects cashless payment information from various countries and proposes the most suitable payment method to the traveler. Specifically, the selection unit collects information such as the prevalence of cashless payment methods in each country, available applications, fees, and security levels. This information is obtained from publicly available databases on the internet and the official websites of financial institutions in each country. The selection unit selects the most suitable payment method according to the traveler's destination, length of stay, and purpose of travel (business, tourism, etc.). For example, if a traveler is going to Japan, it lists the cashless payment methods prevalent in Japan and automatically installs the necessary apps or virtual cards. The selection unit checks the applications installed on the traveler's smartphone and automatically installs any necessary apps that are not installed. The virtual card issuance process is also automated, allowing travelers to prepare the necessary payment method without any hassle. The selection unit also considers the traveler's past usage history and preferences to propose the most suitable payment method. For example, it prioritizes suggesting apps to travelers who have previously used a particular app. Furthermore, the selection department collects traveler feedback and continuously improves the accuracy of its recommendations. This allows the selection department to provide travelers with the most suitable cashless payment methods and enhance the convenience of their travels.

[0031] The Management Department centrally manages the payment methods selected by the Selection Department. For example, the Management Department centrally manages necessary apps and virtual cards.

The Management Department also analyzes travelers' usage history and prioritizes displaying frequently used apps and virtual cards. This allows travelers to quickly access necessary information. Furthermore, the Management Department strengthens security measures, safely protecting travelers' personal and payment information. For example, the Management Department uses encryption technology to protect data and prevent unauthorized access. The Management Department also collects traveler feedback to improve the system. This allows the management department to provide travelers with a user-friendly and secure cashless payment environment.

[0032] The information department provides real-time information on stores that accept local currency or cashless payments, based on payment methods managed by the administration department. For example, the information department can determine a traveler's current location and guide them to nearby stores that accept cashless payments. Specifically, the information department uses the GPS function of the traveler's smartphone to pinpoint their current location and searches for stores in the surrounding area that accept cashless payments. The information department retrieves information on each store from a database and suggests the most suitable store for the traveler. For example, if a traveler is in France, it will provide real-time information on nearby restaurants and shops that accept cashless payments. The information department also considers the traveler's preferences and past usage history to suggest the most suitable stores. For example, it will prioritize suggesting restaurants to travelers who have previously used a particular restaurant. The information department also collects traveler feedback and continuously improves the accuracy of its suggestions. This allows the information department to provide travelers with the most suitable stores that accept cashless payments, improving the convenience of their trip. Furthermore, the information department also provides information such as the congestion level and opening hours of the stores that travelers visit. This allows travelers to avoid crowds and enjoy shopping and dining efficiently. Furthermore, the information department provides reviews and ratings of shops that travelers visit, helping them choose shops they can use with confidence. In this way, the information department can provide travelers with reliable information and improve their travel satisfaction.

[0033] The resolution unit provides swift solutions in the event of payment errors or fraudulent use. For example, upon detecting a payment error or fraudulent use, the resolution unit immediately notifies the traveler and guides them through the process of suspending the transaction or providing alternative options. Specifically, the resolution unit monitors the traveler's payment history in real time and detects unusual transactions or signs of fraudulent use. For example, if a traveler makes a large transaction at an unusual location or time, the resolution unit immediately detects the transaction and notifies the traveler. Notifications are sent via smartphone push notifications, email, SMS, etc. Upon receiving the notification, the traveler can check the transaction details and immediately suspend the transaction if fraudulent use is suspected. The resolution unit also automates the suspension process, allowing travelers to respond quickly and easily. Furthermore, the resolution unit guides travelers through alternative options to ensure they can continue making payments without inconvenience. For example, if fraudulent use is detected in Italy, the traveler is immediately notified and guided through the process of suspending the transaction or providing alternative options. Alternative options may include using another virtual card or withdrawing cash. Furthermore, the solutions unit collects traveler feedback and uses it to improve the system. This allows the solutions unit to provide travelers with a cashless payment environment they can use with peace of mind.

[0034] The service provider offers an integrated API to help businesses develop payment environments for tourists. Specifically, the service provider provides APIs for companies such as travel agencies, airlines, and hotels to offer cashless payment services for tourists. This allows companies to easily integrate cashless payment functionality into their services. For example, when a travel agency offers tours for tourists, integrating cashless payment functionality allows tourists to easily book and pay for tours. Similarly, when an airline integrates cashless payment functionality for flight bookings and payments, tourists can purchase tickets smoothly. Furthermore, when a hotel integrates cashless payment functionality for accommodation payments, tourists can pay smoothly during check-in and check-out. The service provider also provides technical support for these companies to provide cashless payment services for tourists. For example, they provide support on how to use the API and troubleshooting, enabling companies to smoothly implement cashless payment functionality. In this way, the service provider can provide a convenient cashless payment environment for tourists and contribute to improving the services of businesses.

[0035] The selection unit can collect cashless payment information from various countries and propose the most suitable payment method for travelers.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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."

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. 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.
