Description

Technical Field

[0004]

[0001] The present invention Self-therapy video generation system relates to, in particular, providing self-therapy based on psychotherapy such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) by means of virtual space somatosensory technology, Self-therapy video generation system and is related thereto.

Background Art

[0002] Due to the abundance of things and the development of science and technology, the lives of modern people have become physically affluent. However, on the other hand, psychological problems are increasing in all fields of society. Regarding people's mental health care, various measures have been taken and proposed, regardless of public or private sectors. Counseling therapy, in which professional counselors and therapists provide counseling and the like to those seeking care, can be said to be the basis of such efforts.

[0003] There are also many techniques in counseling therapy, but in any technique, the presence of a professional counselor is usually required, and the person seeking care, that is, the client, has to repeatedly visit a hospital or the like where a counselor or therapist is located and have face-to-face interviews. If self-therapy can be performed without the help of therapists, it would be greatly convenient in terms of time, cost, and the burden of review. In response to such needs, counseling devices using a computer have also been conventionally provided.

[0004] One such technology is disclosed in Patent Document 1, listed below. This is a psychotherapy device that accurately grasps the subject's unconscious negative emotions without burdening the subject, and automatically implements therapy to reduce stress problems and promote awareness and self-growth toward problem solving. It comprises a solution means for implementing therapy regarding the subject's chief complaint, and a result display means for displaying the psychotherapy effect of the solution means. The solution means extracts the scenery and memories of unpleasant scenes recalled based on the subject's chief complaint, as well as the unpleasant emotions and physical discomfort caused by them, as sensory image information. Subsequently, therapy is implemented using digital materials that do not contain text, based on the light image method or the like, according to the extracted sensory image information. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 6206891, "Psychotherapy Apparatus, Psychotherapy System, and Psychotherapy Method" [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] It is believed that the psychological problems of those seeking care are often closely related to events they have experienced in their lives and the emotions they felt at those times. However, if it is possible to verbalize not only the recollections drawn up based on the chief complaint (the main symptoms the person is aware of), but also all the emotional events that the person is aware of (can recall) and the emotions they felt at those times, and then create a kind of "personal history"—a trajectory of their emotions—based on that, perhaps in a certain format using digital materials, then the materials for therapy can be enriched, and the effects obtained from therapy can be expected to be expanded and deepened.

[0007] Furthermore, the "emotional trajectory" that can be materialized in this way can be considered both a personal history and a work of art, and can offer meaningful insights not only as a tool for self-therapy but also for the lives and experiences of oneself and others afterward. For example, the "emotional trajectory" can be structured to serve a tombstone-like or burial site-like role after the person's death, and by using digital materials, the traditional problems of significant spatial and temporal constraints in conducting religious rites and funerals can be resolved. In this case, accessing this digital tombstone allows one to experience the emotional trajectory of the deceased's life, which contributes to the psychological and spiritual well-being of the bereaved family and those involved.

[0008] Furthermore, rather than a passive approach where the device provides therapy, a model that supports self-therapy, which is actively carried out by the person seeking care, allows for more flexible, free, and self-directed self-therapy. In addition, while the usefulness of imagery in therapy is undeniable, combining it with language, especially text in the form of subtitles, can further enhance the therapeutic effect.

[0009] Based on the above, the problem that this invention aims to solve is to provide a self-therapy support tool and support technology that can effectively support users who desire therapy in proactively performing therapy on their own to improve their mental health without the help of a therapist or counselor. Furthermore, the problem that this invention aims to solve is to provide a self-therapy support tool and support technology that allows the results derived from the implementation of therapy using such a self-therapy support tool to be actively utilized in the spiritual realm, such as for the improvement of an individual's mental state or in religious rites and funerals. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] As a result of considering the above-mentioned problems, the inventors of this application have found that the problems can be solved by generating digital videos for self-therapy based on input from a person who intends to engage in self-therapy, i.e., a user, regarding specific events in their own life and the emotions associated with them; in other words, by constructing a system for visualizing emotions using generative art; and by using such videos as a method for self-therapy. Based on this, the inventors have completed the present invention. Specifically, the invention claimed in this application, or at least disclosed, as a means of solving the above-mentioned problems is as follows.

[0011] [1] A system that generates videos that express the emotional trajectory of one's own life, which can be used by the user for self-therapy, Event documents, which specify one or more events in the user's life up to that point in written form, and, Emotional types that indicate the type of emotion one felt at the time each event occurred. Based on this, digital materials are generated. The digital material includes self-therapy videos corresponding to each event. This self-therapy video is, It consists of a landscape image formed based on the emotion and a descriptive image that describes the event in text. The landscape image shows the topography. 、 climate 、 Vegetation or Presence or absence of water bodies or form at least one of A surface image composed of elements, It consists of a weather image, which represents the atmospheric conditions affecting the Earth's surface. Therapy units are structured based on each event. A video generation system for self-therapy, characterized by the following features. [2] The self-therapy video generation system according to [1], characterized in that the therapy unit is composed of one or more derived images, which are images generated by modifying the original image, in addition to the original image, which is the image initially generated based on the event. [3] The self-therapy video generation system according to [2], characterized in that the generated video includes an image that allows the user to input their current emotions, i.e., an image for reflective input. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] This invention Self-therapy video generation system As described above, this system allows individuals seeking therapy, i.e., users, to proactively conduct therapy on their own and improve their mental health without the help of a therapist or counselor. Furthermore, the results derived from conducting therapy using such a self-therapy video generation system can be actively utilized in the spiritual realm, such as for improving an individual's mental state or for religious ceremonies and funerals.

[0016] This invention Self-therapy video generation system and other inventions based thereon In particular, it can be produced using AI, machine learning, generative art production technology, and virtual space experience technology, and effectively supports users in independently conducting psychotherapies based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). According to the present invention, not only recollections drawn up based on the chief complaint, but also all conscious emotional events and the emotions at the time can be verbalized, and based on this, one can form a "personal history" that can be called the trajectory of one's own emotions, thereby enriching the material for self-therapy, and it is expected that the effects obtained from therapy will be expanded and deepened.

[0017] The "Emotional Trajectory" materialized by the video generation system for self-therapy of the present invention is not just a tool for self-therapy. After the death of the user himself / herself, it can serve as a so-called tombstone-like and cemetery-like role as an "Emotional Trajectory Autobiographical Video". Since the present invention uses a digital material method, in the implementation of sacrifices and funerals, it does not require the space and specific holding / installation locations required by the real ones, and can implement a free-form sacrifice and funeral liberated from spatial constraints. Such a funeral system on the virtual space of the present invention also does not require a specific holding / installation location, so there is no need to actually go there, and the time constraints are also greatly reduced.

[0018] The "Emotional Trajectory" autobiographical video realized by the present invention can be appreciated by accessing the digital tombstone also realized in the present invention, and the emotional trajectory of the life of the deceased can be experienced. This is also beneficial to the psychological and spiritual aspects of the lives of the bereaved family and related persons. Of course, during the lifetime, the user himself / herself can also, after the self-therapy is once completed, look back on his / her own "emotional trajectory" from time to time, so as to gain new insights, solve troubles, regain oneself, etc., and strive for improvement, strengthening, and deepening in the spiritual aspect.

[0019] Self-therapy video generation system and related The self-therapy method, self-therapy system, etc. of the invention do not rely on a passive method where one device can perform the therapy, but rather support the self-therapy actively carried out by the user who seeks care. Therefore, self-therapy can be carried out more flexibly, freely, and under one's own initiative. In addition, in the self-therapy method that emphasizes subjectivity as realized in the present invention, not only images such as pictures and photos, but also words that can provide a more conceptual or objective perspective can be used together, and an improvement in the therapy effect can be expected. Furthermore, The following patent claims are made, including for the "Self-Therapy Method" and the "Self-Therapy System". Even for each invention that is not related to this invention, creations are made based on the self-therapy video generation system of this invention. Those described herein will be referred to as "the present invention" in subsequent explanations.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0021] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the basic configuration of the self-therapy video generation system of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the self-therapy video generation system 10 is a system that generates videos that express the emotional trajectory of one's life, which can be used by the user for self-therapy. Digital material is generated based on event documents 1a, 1b, 1c, ... which specify one or more events Ea, Eb, Ec, ... in one or more events in the user's life up to that point in text, and emotion types 2a, 2b, 2c, ... which indicate the type of emotion the user felt at the time each event Ea etc. occurred, also entered by the user. The digital material includes self-therapy videos 3a, 3b, 3c, ... which correspond to each event Ea etc. The self-therapy videos 3a etc. consist of landscape images 4a, 4b, 4c, ... which are formed based on emotion types 2a etc., and descriptive images 7a, 7b, 7c, ... which describe the event Ea etc. in text.

[0022] And landscape images 4a, etc., Topography, climate, vegetation, or presence or form of water bodies, among others At the very least, the Earth's surface image is composed of one element, and the atmospheric conditions affect the Earth's surface. It is composed of weather images, that is, To give an analogy, the basic structure consists of surface images 5a, 5b, 5c, ... composed of elements such as topography, climate, road type, vegetation, rock type, and the presence and form of bodies of water, and weather images 6a, 6b, 6c, ... which represent the atmospheric conditions affecting the surface. Based on each event, therapy units 8a, 8b, 8c, ... are defined. Seasons may also be included in weather images 6a, etc. Note that the diagram shows a structure based on three or more events Ea, Eb, Ec, ... but as mentioned above, the number of events can be one or more, and the structure is not limited to the one shown.

[0023] In this invention, "movie" refers to a sequence of images joined together over time. This includes not only those with the smoothness of a film, but also those where multiple still images are joined together at time intervals perceptible to humans, such as picture stories or slideshows. Hereafter, the invention will be described primarily in terms of movies structured like such slideshows. Furthermore, in this invention, "image" includes not only non-verbal representations such as paintings, figures, and photographs, but also representations using only text without the use of paintings, etc. The "descriptive image" mentioned above falls into this category. In addition, a movie may include not only visual elements but also auditory elements, i.e., sound. The sound can freely include language such as narration, music, sound effects including sample sounds, etc.

[0024] Furthermore, the figure shows a collection 3S of self-therapy videos 3a, 3b, etc., but this does not indicate that each video 3a, etc. is combined; rather, it simply shows the products generated by the self-therapy video generation system 10 grouped together. Of course, patterns in which each video 3a, etc. is combined into a single video can also be included within the scope of the present invention as an example of the "collection 3S of self-therapy videos".

[0025] The operation of the self-therapy video generation system 10 of the present invention, configured as described above, will now be explained. First, the user provides two types of input to the self-therapy video generation system 10. The first is event documents 1a, 1b, 1c, ... which specify one or more events Ea, Eb, Ec, ... in the user's life up to the present in text form, and the second is emotion types 2a, 2b, 2c, ... which indicate the type of emotion the user felt at the time each event Ea, etc. occurred. Based on these inputs, the self-therapy video generation system 10 generates digital material, which includes at least self-therapy videos 3a, 3b, 3c, ... corresponding to each event Ea, etc.

[0026] This self-therapy video generation system 10 generates self-therapy videos 3a, etc., which include landscape images 4a, 4b, 4c, ... and descriptive images 7a, 7b, 7c, ... Landscape images 4a, etc., which consist of ground surface images 5a, etc. and weather images 6a, etc., are formed based on emotion types 2a, etc., while descriptive images 7a, etc., which consist of text, are formed based on event documents 1a, etc., and in this way, a video is generated that expresses the emotional trajectory of the user's life. The generated self-therapy video 3a constitutes a therapy unit 8a, self-therapy video 3b constitutes a therapy unit 8b, self-therapy video 3c constitutes a therapy unit 8c, ... and so on, with each video constituting a therapy unit.

[0027] The user can use the videos 3a, etc., which constitute therapy units 8a, etc., generated by this self-therapy video generation system 10, for self-therapy. In practice, the self-therapy method using the self-therapy videos 3a, etc. can be any of the conventionally known psychotherapy methods using images, such as the methods described later in the examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Even simply viewing the output obtained by the user recalling an event from their past with a strong emotional element and reporting it to this self-therapy video generation system 10—that is, a video 3a, etc., which represents the trajectory of their emotions using landscape images 4a, etc. and descriptive images 7a, etc.—provides an opportunity for objective self-reflection and introspection, and is sure to have internal and mental effects, or even effects involving spirituality.

[0028] While spirituality generally means "spiritual matters, sublimity," in this context, it is used specifically to mean "a mysterious feeling or experience that one sometimes feels, even without certainty, and which is valuable to oneself." In this way, users of this self-therapy video generation system 10 can proactively perform therapy on themselves and improve their mental health without the help of a therapist or counselor. In other words, by conducting self-therapy using the videos generated by this self-therapy video generation system 10, users can gain the experience of visualizing and objectifying their emotions and thoughts, and through this, they can improve their mental state.

[0029] As mentioned above, landscape images 4a, etc., consisting of ground surface images 5a, etc., and weather images 6a, etc., are based on emotion types 2a, etc., while descriptive images 7a, etc., are based on events Ea, etc. However, the materials for generating landscape images 4a, etc., can also include text content such as words and sentences in the declared event documents 1a, etc. In this case, ground surface images 5a, etc., are collected using machine learning or AI based on these as well, and the images are generated according to the algorithm specified in this self-therapy video generation system 10.

[0030] For example, machine learning can be used to classify and extract subjective words and facts from event documents. Then, based on the types of words, a predetermined algorithm can be used to generate specific elements of a surface image (e.g., climate zone, topography, road type, vegetation, geology, etc.). For example, in the case of an event document like the following, "At age three, I entered nursery school, but I didn't like the other children, so I couldn't go into the classroom and went to the principal's office instead." The factual statements include "entered nursery school" and "visited the principal's office," while the subjective statements include "disliked" and "unable to enter." Using these extracted words as input, the elements related to the formation of the ground image can be determined by the predetermined algorithm, for example, as follows. Climate zone: Mediterranean climate Terrain: flat Road type: Low gradient Vegetation: Broad-leaved trees Geology: Sand and red soil

[0031] As described above, the landscape image, consisting of a ground surface image and a weather image, is first generated based on the emotion type. Image generation can be done using a hierarchical structure with multiple image layers stacked on top of each other, but the emotion type 2a, etc., can be said to be the subjective layer, or emotion layer, of the user of this self-therapy video generation system 10. Separately, a 3D landscape is constructed using factual and subjective words present in the event document 1a, etc. (this can also be used to form the life landscape described later using Figure 3), and based on this, the subjective layer is overlaid to finally obtain a 2D landscape image. It is possible to provide a view as if you were standing in that place, just as you would see it on a map search service like Google Street View (registered trademark). ---The present invention can be constructed in this way.

[0032] In this self-therapy video generation system 10, the algorithm for outputting landscape images 4a, etc., from inputs such as event documents 1a, etc., and emotion types 2a, etc., can be designed as appropriate. As described above, an example of a method is used to extract words from event documents 1a, etc., based on the criteria of subjective words and factual words, and to determine the elements associated with them, but there are many other algorithms that can be developed and applied, and the system is not limited to this. The following is one example of a possible option for considering the method. Example: Text indicating age and gender → Defining altitude and vegetation Text indicating buildings and facilities → Defines topography Text indicating others (humans, living things) → Describes the appearance of trees Text indicating time of day → Defines the light and dark areas of the landscape Text that expresses emotion → Defines the contrast of the landscape Selected emotion type → Defines color ·····

[0033] Furthermore, descriptive images 7a, etc., obtained from event documents 1a, etc., can represent events Ea, etc., consisting of facts and the user's subjective feelings (emotions), particularly in a form similar to subtitles in old silent films. By conceptualizing emotional events and the emotions experienced at that time not only through visual representation but also through language, users can gain an experience of clearly visualizing, objectifying, and recreating the emotions and thoughts derived from that event, thereby adding further benefits to self-therapy.

[0034] The content and number of emotion types can be designed as appropriate. In the example described later, the following 24 emotion types were defined. Of course, fewer or more types are also acceptable. 24 types of emotions: Longing, Entertainment / Pleasure, Anger, Threat and Praise, Confusion, Satisfaction, Desire, Disappointment, Disgust, Frustration / Conflict, Pleasure, Excitement / Expectation, Embarrassment, Fear, Interest, Pain, Awareness, Relief, Sadness, Shocking Surprise, Pleasant Surprise, Empathy, Achievement, Contempt / Insult (Note that this classification is based on research on speech recognition conducted at the University of California, Berkeley.)

[0035] Figure 2 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of image configuration in a therapy unit of the self-therapy video generation system of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in this self-therapy video generation system 10, a therapy unit 8x, or self-therapy video 3x, can be configured to include, in addition to the original images 4o and 7o, which are images initially generated based on the corresponding event, one or more derived images 4v1, 7v1, ..., etc., which are images generated by modifying the original images 4o and 7o. In the figure, a configuration in which three or more derived images 4o etc. related to landscape images and three or more derived images 7o etc. related to descriptive images are added is shown as an example, but is not limited to this. The original images 4o etc. and derived images 4v1 etc. constitute a series of self-therapy videos 3x.

[0036] In the original images 4o and 7o, the emotions related to the individual events Ea, etc., from which they originate can be expressed more directly. On the other hand, in the derivative images 4v1, 7v1, etc., which are modified versions of the original images 4o and 7o, it is possible to induce changes in impression, such as mitigating or amplifying the intensity of those emotions, or making them more complex by mixing in other emotional elements, changing the perspective of the user who encounters them, or even causing the user to experience new emotions themselves. For example, in the original image 4o, the event and emotion are presented in a shocking form without beautification, while in the modified derivative image 4v1, etc., an experience of changing perspective on that shocking event, an experience of gaining an overview, or an experience like watching it on a movie set can be provided.

[0037] As for specific methods of modifying the original image 4o, which is a landscape image, to obtain derived images such as 4v1, conventionally known and appropriate methods such as image processing to adjust color, contrast, saturation, brightness, image quality, and partial emphasis can be used. Furthermore, as specific methods of modifying the original image 7o, which is a descriptive image, to obtain derived images such as 7v1, conventionally known and appropriate methods such as changing the font, size, color, and layout of the characters that make up the subtitles, and changing the background color and pattern can be used.

[0038] Furthermore, in addition to derivative images such as 4v1, the audio, which is composed of elements such as narration, background music, and sound effects, may be configured to use not only audio that more directly expresses the emotions related to the individual events from which it originates, but also derivative audio that has been modified from this. As for specific methods of modification, conventionally known methods can be used, such as changing the pitch, sound quality, volume, and speed of the narration audio, or changing the background music and sound effects.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2, the self-therapy video generation system 10 can be configured to generate a video 3x that includes images that allow the user to input their current emotions, such as reflection input images 9P. With this configuration, a user of the self-therapy video 3x generated by the self-therapy video generation system 10 can not only watch the video 3x, but also input their current emotions into the reflection input images 9P, etc. The input made can then be used by the self-therapy video generation system 10 to update the self-therapy video 3x thereafter.

[0040] Now, let me explain about updating the self-therapy videos. The user can use the self-therapy videos generated by this self-therapy video generation system 10 not just once, but repeatedly, and such a configuration is highly desirable. In other words, the system should allow the user to experience previously generated videos not only during the period when they are addressing mental health issues requiring therapy, but also from time to time in their daily life or whenever they feel the need at some point in their life, even after the issues have been resolved. Furthermore, each time the user watches (experiences) the video, they should input their own emotional state during or before experiencing the video into a reflection input image 9P, etc.

[0041] This invention allows for a configuration in which the effects of self-therapy are displayed in some form, particularly as digital material, based on the input of emotional states through self-reporting. With such a configuration, each time self-therapy is performed by watching videos, the user can self-check their current emotional state and confirm the presence and degree of the effect, which can be useful in daily life and the progress of subsequent therapy. Specific examples of digital materials that display the effects of self-therapy will be explained later using Figure 3, etc.

[0042] Figure 2 shows two reflection input images 9P and 9S. The former is placed before the main content of the self-therapy video 3x, such as the original image 4o, and is for inputting the emotional state before the start of therapy. The latter is for inputting the emotional state after watching the main content. This configuration allows the user to check how their emotional state has changed before and after therapy. It should be noted that the present invention does not exclude the use of only one reflection input image, but in that case, it is recommended to place it after the main content, i.e., as reflection input image 9S. This is because the presence and degree of therapeutic effect can be evaluated after the main content.

[0043] The reflective input image 9P, etc., would be convenient if it were in the form of a chart or graph that allows the user to input their current emotions and clearly visualize the results and changes. Specific examples include the emotion type input chart described later in the embodiment, and can be designed as appropriate. In this emotion type chart, the goal of therapy is to enable the user to perceive traumatic events as belonging to the neutral zone. The present invention is not limited to the specific form of the reflective input image 9P, etc.

[0044] The self-therapy videos themselves, generated using the self-therapy video generation system 10 of the present invention with each of the above configurations, are also within the scope of the present invention.

[0045] Figure 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the basic configuration of the virtual space for self-therapy videos and the self-therapy system of the present invention. Figure 3-2 is a conceptual diagram showing the internal configuration of the theater within the virtual space for self-therapy videos of the present invention shown in Figure 3. As shown above, the virtual space 30 for self-therapy videos of the present invention is a virtual space for viewing the self-therapy videos described above, and is configured with digital materials comprising a life landscape 20 formed by providing landscape units 18a, 18b, 18c, ... corresponding to therapy units and formed based on event documents, in order of the number of therapy units, and a theater 23 which is a screen-equipped building formed based on event documents. Inside the theater 23, there is a screen 24 for projecting self-therapy videos and a life landscape model 25 which is a means for selecting the therapy units = landscape units 18a etc. to be projected, and the main configuration is that it can be experienced by a virtual space experience means 350 for experiencing the virtual space. Although the figure shows three landscapes 18a, etc., these are illustrative examples for explanation purposes, and the present invention is not limited to such configurations.

[0046] The virtual space 30 for self-therapy videos, provided by the virtual space provision means 310, is available for use by users who use virtual space experience means 350 such as terminals, HMDs, and controllers, and users can experience it. When a user (avatar) enters the virtual space 30 for self-therapy videos, they can view the life landscape 20, which is formed by providing landscape units 18a, etc., corresponding to therapy units, in quantities equal to the number of therapy units. They can also move freely within the space 30 and enter the theater 23, which is a building derived from event documents.

[0047] Upon entering Theater 23, users will find a screen 24 for projecting self-therapy videos and a life landscape model 25 for selecting therapy units (landscape units 18a, etc.) to project. The user (avatar) selects one landscape unit 18a, etc. to project and view using the life landscape model 25, and the self-therapy video related to the selected landscape unit 18a, etc. (therapy unit) is projected and shown on the screen 24. The user (avatar) can then use the projected video for self-therapy through viewing. The virtual space provision means 310 is a device that generates, stores, and provides the virtual space 30 for this self-therapy video to the user.

[0048] The life landscape 20, formed by landscape units 18a, etc., is, so to speak, an unfolding of the user's "emotional trajectory" throughout their life. Landscape units, or therapy units, are formed in 3D based on the event documents declared and entered by the user as described above, and, as with landscape images, it is best to make them primarily composed of elements from the natural world. In this way, the "emotional trajectory" takes the form of a journey accompanied by landscapes that are mainly nature-based, and the journey of a lifetime, shaped from landscapes that symbolize each phase of life, can be represented as if it were a 3D picture scroll or Aboriginal art.

[0049] Theater 23 is a place where users can watch self-therapy videos and practice self-therapy, but after a user dies, it becomes a memorial, or rather, a burial place, for that person. It is both a burial place and a theater, a "grave theater," or perhaps an "emotional map museum" that commemorates the life of the deceased from an emotional perspective.

[0050] As described above, the information that users declare and input for self-therapy is event documents and emotion types. These inputs, according to the present invention, result in the output of generating self-therapy videos and forming a life landscape 20 and theater 23 in the virtual space 30. The self-therapy videos are generated primarily based on emotion types from the input and are also generated as 2D images, while the life landscape 20 (and the landscape units 18a etc. that constitute it) and theater 23 are generated primarily based on event documents from the input. Thus, the self-therapy video generation system and the self-therapy video virtual space 30 of the present invention can be configured in this way. The external shape, color, texture, feel, transparency, etc. of the theater 23, where the self-therapy videos projected inside can be viewed, can be determined and formed based on the event documents.

[0051] The virtual space 30 for self-therapy videos of the present invention, shown in Figure 3, includes the aforementioned reflection input images in the self-therapy videos screened in the theater 23. Furthermore, it can be configured so that the life landscape 20 and the theater 23 change based on input by the user using the reflection input images performed each time self-therapy is performed, or by additional or updated declaration input, or both. Here, a change in the life landscape 20 refers to a change in at least one of the weather image and ground surface image in the landscape units 18a etc. that constitute it. A change in the theater 23 refers to a change in at least one of its appearance shape, color, texture, feel, transparency, etc.

[0052] Furthermore, the landscape units 18a etc. that constitute the life landscape 20 may be configured such that the ground image, such as the terrain, formed based on the event document does not change, but the weather image changes due to input in the reflective input image after the start of self-therapy or the addition / update input of the event document afterward, thereby changing the entire landscape unit 18a etc. The weather image may also include the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

[0053] Furthermore, seasonal changes include elements that directly relate to weather imagery, such as fog, haze, mist, heat haze, mirages, cloud formations, rainbow appearances, diamond dust, rainfall, and snowfall. In addition, there are many elements that can be considered to relate to surface imagery, such as the presence or absence of snow or frost on the ground, the dryness or wetness of the ground, the growth of moss on the ground, and the state of other plants. Therefore, even if the shape of the ground and the appearance of roads, which form the basis of surface imagery, remain unchanged, the state of plants and other elements can change through input in reflective images after the start of self-therapy and through the addition and updating of subsequent event documents.

[0054] The inputs in the reflective input images after the start of self-therapy, as well as the additions and updates to the subsequent event documents, reflect the internal changes of the user through each self-therapy session and the progression of the self-therapy process. When therapy is progressing well, the effects of self-therapy, such as personal growth, cultivation of a challenging spirit, broadening of perspective, development of an accepting attitude through the acquisition of various viewpoints, and anger control, will be displayed as changes in Life Landscape 20 and Theater 23.

[0055] In the virtual space 30 of this invention, the self-therapy effect can be displayed as a change in Theater 23. In other words, the virtual space 30 can be configured so that each time a therapy experience is repeated, changes occur in the transparency, color, shape, etc., of Theater 23. The changes in Theater 23 will of course be noticeable when the user visits Theater 23 for the next therapy session, but in addition, the virtual space 30 can be configured so that these changes are also noticeable when the user finishes the therapy session and leaves Theater 23, that is, as soon as the user finishes inputting the reflection input image, it is reflected as a change in Theater 23.

[0056] Self-therapy using this virtual space 30 for self-therapy videos can be performed, for example, as follows: At the start of therapy, a landscape unit 18a, which can be described as an event emotion, is selected from the life landscape 20, which is a timeline of one's personal history that has been landscaped, and this is used to trigger the screening of a predetermined self-therapy video. Then, in the reflection input image at the beginning of the video (reflection input image 9P in Figure 2 above), the user inputs their own emotional state regarding the events in the video at the start of therapy. At this point, there are no changes in the landscape unit 18a, the life landscape 20, or the theater 23, and if this is the second or subsequent therapy session, the state at the end of the previous session is retained.

[0057] After the self-therapy session, which involves watching the video, is completed, the user re-enters their emotional state regarding the events in the video at the end of the therapy session using the reflection input image (reflection input image 9S in Figure 2), which is again provided at the end of the video. After watching the video, which is designed for self-therapy, it is expected that the user's emotions regarding the events will have changed to some degree. This internal change in the user will be displayed as a change in Theater 23 due to the input of the emotional state at the end of the therapy session, or as a change in Theater 23 due to the displacement (difference) of the input of the emotional state between the start and end of the therapy session. In particular, the change in Theater 23 can be configured to primarily consist of a change in transparency.

[0058] A self-therapy method that uses a self-therapy video containing the aforementioned reflective input images, and provides a self-therapy process based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy other than ACT, or other psychotherapeutic techniques, is also within the scope of the present invention. Although the concept of the present invention was based on ACT, the applicable techniques are not limited to it.

[0059] As shown in Figure 3 above, the self-therapy system 400 of the present invention has a basic configuration consisting of a virtual space 30 for self-therapy videos having one of the above-described configurations, and a virtual space providing means 310 for providing the virtual space 30 for self-therapy videos. As the virtual space providing means 310, a server having the functions of generating, saving, updating, and displaying the virtual space 30 can be used. With this configuration, a user (avatar) can enter the virtual space 30 for self-therapy videos using predetermined virtual space experience means 350 such as a terminal, HMD, or controller, enter the theater 23, project a desired self-therapy video onto the screen 24 using the life landscape model 25, and perform self-therapy by watching it.

[0060] Each individual self-therapy video is generated based on the user's own self-reported input stemming from a specific emotional event, and the total number of videos depends on the number of emotional events in the user's life that need to be dealt with. The collection of multiple self-therapy videos is, so to speak, like an anthology film, a collection of short films, but what each self-therapy video has in common is that it represents the trajectory of the user's emotions. Therefore, the collection of videos generated as a result of using the self-therapy method and self-therapy system 400 of the present invention can be said to be an autobiographical video of the user's emotional trajectory.

[0061] This autobiographical video chronicling the trajectory of emotions is intended to be viewed within a virtual space 30, which is formed by a structure equipped with a screen for video viewing, i.e., a theater 23. However, the present invention is not limited to this method of use. For example, formats such as those stored on DVDs or other information recording media, or those that can be downloaded from the internet, are also not excluded from the present invention.

[0062] This emotional trajectory autobiographical video, after the death of its creator, can be made available for viewing and use by third parties as an expression of the emotional trajectory of the deceased's own life. While there have been various forms of memorials that preserve a person's life through social achievements, careers, and memorable photos and videos, there has never been an example of preserving a person's emotional trajectory as a video based on self-declaration. Moreover, because this emotional trajectory is based on events that were the subject of therapy, it reveals and preserves the deeper aspects of the person's inner self, preserving their reason for existence, meaning of existence, and life itself with high purity. It is extremely meaningful not only for bereaved family and related parties, but also for unrelated third parties, as it allows them to feel the dignity of an individual and the meaning of life, going beyond mere remembrance.

[0063] The autobiographical video chronicling the trajectory of emotions, originally intended for self-therapy, can be configured to be viewable within the virtual space 30 for self-therapy videos. However, the self-therapy system 400 can be configured to restrict access to this viewing behavior by requiring a specific access medium for viewing (or access to the virtual space 30). In other words, the video cannot be viewed (or access to the virtual space 30) without going through the specific access medium. The specific form of the access medium is not particularly limited.

[0064] However, in this invention, this access medium can be formed using a diamond made from the ashes or personal belongings of a user whose life is represented in an autobiographical video chronicling their emotional journey. In other words, a memorial item belonging to the deceased is used as a medium for accessing the autobiographical video chronicling the deceased's emotional journey. This method uses a valuable item that shows a relationship with the deceased, such as a personal belonging, as a key to access an autobiographical video that depicts the deceased from an internal perspective. Such an access medium can be held by one or more people who had a strong connection with the deceased, such as family members or close friends.

[0065] In particular, a diamond formed from the cremated remains of a deceased person can be suitably used as this access medium. This diamond / access medium can then be shaped to resemble the shape of the theater 23 in the virtual space 30 for self-therapy videos, where autobiographical videos tracing the emotional trajectory are shown. For the owner of such an access medium, its shape serves as a trigger to draw them to the autobiographical videos tracing the emotional trajectory of their loved one, contributing to the psychological and spiritual well-being of the bereaved family and those involved.

[0066] Furthermore, the Theater 23, Life Landscape 20, and the collection of self-therapy videos, which were not finalized during the deceased's lifetime, that is, when they were a user of this self-therapy system 400, become finalized after their death. The access medium is then formed in a similar shape to the finalized (unchanging) form of Theater 23.

[0067] Figure 4 is a conceptual diagram showing the basic configuration of the virtual space funeral system of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the main configuration of this virtual space funeral system is an access medium 50 for emotional trajectory autobiographical videos, one of the configurations described above, an access host terminal 550 for accessing the virtual space 530 via the access medium, and one or more access guest terminals 580 connected via network IN and granted the right to participate in the virtual space 530 by the access host terminal 550. The network IN is mainly assumed to be the internet. In other words, this system is a system for conducting funeral ceremonies such as funerals and memorial services for the deceased via network IN, and uses the virtual space 530 for self-therapy videos and the access medium 50 already described as its basic elements.

[0068] Theater 523, where the "Emotional Trajectory Autobiographical Video" is screened within virtual space 530, serves as a tombstone and burial site, and the virtual funeral system is constructed and used around it. This system eliminates the need for the space and specific venues required for real-world rituals and funerals, allowing for a free and flexible form of ceremonies and funerals free from spatial constraints. Furthermore, because no specific venue is required, there is no need to travel to such a location in reality, greatly reducing time constraints.

[0069] In conducting funerals and other ceremonies using this virtual space funeral system, the person (host) who possesses the access medium 50 for the emotional trajectory autobiographical video access medium 50 accesses the virtual space 530 via the access host terminal 550. Beforehand, one or more participants or prospective participants in the funeral to be conducted are granted funeral participation rights, and the access guest terminals 580 operated by these persons (guests) enter the virtual space 530 via network IN and can participate in the funeral together with the host. The main event of the funeral here is the screening and viewing of the emotional trajectory autobiographical video.

[0070] Participants in the funeral service, namely the host and guests, can communicate with each other as avatars within the virtual space 530. This means that, outside of the screening and viewing of the deceased's autobiographical video chronicling their emotional journey, they can greet each other, converse, and listen to each other, thus engaging in communication within the funeral setting.

[0071] For example, Host A, a child of the deceased and owner of access device 550, residing in Japan, grants access rights and information such as the date and time of the funeral to the deceased's sister B, who lives in the United States, the deceased's grandchild C, who lives in China, and the deceased's old friend D, who lives in Germany, via Network IN. On the day of the funeral, A enters the virtual space 530 via their own access host terminal 550 and access device 50. Guests B, C, and D, who have been granted access rights in an appropriate form such as sharing via a link, gather in the virtual space 530 via a link, reunite as avatars, and watch an autobiographical video chronicling the deceased's emotional journey together with A in Theater 523, and communicate through conversation, etc.

[0072] An NFT video, characterized by being a digital data (NFT) of the self-therapy video described above according to the present invention with an unforgeable certificate of ownership, is also included within the scope of the present invention. This is generative art. By placing it on a predetermined blockchain rather than on existing large-scale social media, it is possible to promote the distribution of rights and demonstrate a respect for individual human rights. The NFT video can also be transferred as an individual work of art (whether free or for a fee), but even in that case, it is desirable to place it on a predetermined blockchain. [Examples]

[0073] The present invention will be described below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. The descriptions of the examples will be replaced by explanations of diagrams of the completed invention, examples of the configuration of self-therapy videos, and examples of the configuration of virtual spaces for self-therapy videos. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited by these examples.

[0074] <i 本発明のダイアグラム> Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the completed version of the present invention. The theme the inventor wishes to offer is "a self-therapy system service through the visualization of emotions, and a digital grave generation service." In other words, it is about constructing a self-therapy service in a virtual space that serves as a museum of the emotional trajectory of the self-therapy user (hereinafter also referred to as "user") and as a grave after death. The inventor has named this entire invention "Your Trip - Emotional Trajectory Theater."

[0075] As already stated, the problem addressed by this invention is as follows: In this embodiment, the following three means are presented for solving the problem. Solution 1: Self-therapy system (The "self-therapy system" will also be referred to as follows) a picture story (2D video) for improving mental health and visualizing and objectifying emotions and experiences. Solution 2: Museum of Emotional Trajectories (Theater of Emotional Trajectories) Based on the medical records (declared and entered) used in self-therapy, a landscape map is created, ultimately becoming a personal memorial and theater. Solution 3: Converting data into NFTs By placing the data of the produced works (picture stories, landscape maps, theaters) as NFTs on the blockchain, we aim to assert the distribution of rights and individual dignity.

[0076] The procedure shown in the diagram in Figure 5 is as follows: (VR Grave Theater Diagram) 1) The Tomb Theater 2) Theater Entrance 3) Inside the Theater (Self-therapy diagram) 4) Life map 5) Emotional trajectory map 6) Details of the trajectory 7) Trajectory (i) Blank space 8) Trajectory (ii) Sadness, storm 9) Trajectory (iii) Joy, fresh green 10) Slide A, age 14, not selected as a starting player in junior high school. 11) Slide E: The story of the world's greatest tragedy

[0077] In other words, the group of inventions ultimately constructed includes "a video generation system for self-therapy, a video for self-therapy, a virtual space for self-therapy videos, a self-therapy method, a self-therapy system, an autobiographical video of emotional trajectories, an access medium for autobiographical videos of emotional trajectories, a system for funeral services in virtual space, and an NFT-enabled video." Figure 5 shows the "VR grave theater diagram" and the "self-therapy diagram" that formed the basis of these concepts. The "VR grave theater diagram" will be explained further in the examples later using a separate figure (Figure 20).

[0078] The following explanation will be based on this diagram. Solution 1: Self-therapy system Based on the psychotherapy ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), we propose a system that supports objectively observing unpleasant events and thoughts by perceiving the facts through the five senses, without making judgments about good or bad. ACT is a therapy that trains individuals to be aware of their thinking self and observing self, and to objectively observe thoughts, images, and physiological phenomena occurring in the body. Its goal is to promote actions toward one's true self-worth, without being trapped by temporary impulses and emotions that arise from survival responses ingrained in our genes over a long history. Negative thoughts are as uncontrollable as a constantly playing radio, but this is training to objectively observe them and control one's behavior.

[0079] (Step 1: Self-declaration) Reflect on the past, write down memorable events from your childhood to the present, and choose the type of emotion that corresponds to each event. Example: When I was three years old, I was so shy that I couldn't enter the kindergarten classroom and spent six months going to the principal's office. I really hated it {rejection, anxiety}. When I was in middle school (at age 14), I was disappointed and saddened that I wasn't selected as a starting player in my club activities. I was so happy when I won the competition upon graduating from university (at the age of 22).

[0080] (Step 2: Visualizing the drama) The event is visualized by assigning colors based on the type of emotion, transforming it into a landscape, and creating a picture story (a video using 2D images). A-J below are examples of synopses of 2D videos generated in this way. In the self-therapy system, such picture stories are generated for events at all ages self-reported in Step 1. The picture stories (videos) can be viewed and used by accessing a theater in a virtual space, as described later. A: Black background + subtitles for events B: Background imagery based on the emotions of the event + subtitles for the event C: Background imagery based on the emotions of the event + audio description D:B, C and complementary color backgrounds + sound depiction E: Black background + audio description + title subtitles F: Depicts with a black background and high-pitched sounds. G: Imagery based on the emotions of the event + high-pitched vocal description H: Imagery based on the emotions of the event + description with a low voice. I: Description using scenery and sound. J: Black background + subtitles describing the event (same as A)

[0081] Simply watch the generated picture story (2D animation). As described above, based on a single event and the subjective feelings and thoughts about it, various variations of images are generated using different methods of expression, such as pictures (photographs), images with text and subtitles, images containing both, changes in color schemes, addition of sound, and changes in sound, to create a picture story based on that event. Steps 3-8 below are explanations based on ACT techniques. References: "The Happiness Trap" by Russ Harris ("If You Want to Be Happy, Don't Try to Be Happy: An Introduction to ACT, a Psychotherapy Derived from Mindfulness")

[0082] (Step 3: Awareness of the self that observes) Watch the picture story show again, keeping the following points in mind. In Step 2, you simply looked at the image, but this time, you appreciate it while paying attention to the reactions that occur in your body when you look at it. For example, when I read A's line, "I was frustrated because I wasn't chosen as a starting player in my club activities in middle school," my whole body tensed up, and I could feel my lips clenching. In H, the high-pitched narration made me laugh. I also felt the tension in my shoulders release.

[0083] (Step 4: Accepting physical reactions) In Step 3, accept the fact that even the same event can elicit different physical reactions when viewed depending on how it is presented. (Step 5: Controlling your behavior) Try reacting in the exact opposite way to the physical urge that arose in Step 3. For example, look at slide A and laugh. Look at the water ride on slide H and stiffen your body.

[0084] (Step 6: Connect with this place, right now) Recognize that while thoughts in the mind are uncontrollable, physical actions are. Look at image A (black background + subtitles describing the event) again and understand that the unpleasant event was not actually life-threatening, but something created by the brain. Reflect on the emotions you felt towards the events when you watched the series of images (video) and be grateful for the thoughts that arose from them, for the purpose of learning. Also, recognize that even while you are thinking, your senses of sight, hearing, smell, and touch are present separately from your thoughts.

[0085] (Step 7: Repeat) The goal is to repeat this exercise daily, using events from any age, to build immunity to unpleasant emotions and train yourself to view them objectively. The aim is to accept that unpleasant emotions are something our genes have developed over a long history to ensure survival, but that they will pass like the weather if we simply refrain from acting on those impulses. The aim is to objectively view and appreciate unpleasant emotions not as something to ignore or suppress, but as something the brain has created for our growth throughout our lives.

[0086] (Step 8: Take valuable actions in the real world) To enable individuals to take valuable actions of their own free will and live meaningful lives, without being swayed by unpleasant emotions.

[0087] An emotional person, as a biological defense mechanism, evaluates events in terms of good or bad, or gain or loss. Art appeals to the five senses, extracts dopamine, and even war photographs or bloody animal paintings can become beautiful and valuable the moment they are framed. Just as difficulties are an inherent part of superhero movies, even negative emotions, when transformed into a picture story using this self-therapy system, become an irreplaceable piece of art in one's life.

[0088] Solution 2: Emotional Trajectory Theater (VR Tomb Theater) The emotional trajectory of an individual using the self-therapy system is shown within the collection of picture stories (videos) described in Solution 1. Using virtual space generation technology, a theater (museum) is created in virtual space where this can be viewed, and this becomes the individual's tomb after death. The theater visualizes the individual's spirituality—how far they have come, consciously or unconsciously, to the point they value in their way of life, and how pure their life has been. It is formed as such. It is a theater that symbolizes the emotional trajectory as self-reported by the individual, rather than their work history or physical photographs.

[0089] (Step 1: Color and Shape) Based on information such as color extracted and identified by the self-therapy system, the color and shape of the theater (personal tomb) are generated by AI. The form and appearance of such a theater can change depending on the progress of the therapy when the individual is alive and undergoing continuous self-therapy. However, when the individual dies and the self-therapy system is no longer used for that person's therapy, the final form and appearance are determined and completed.

[0090] (Step 2: Access) The body of the individual is cremated to obtain ashes, and these ashes are compressed and formed into diamonds. This diamond is equipped with an access function to access the theater in the virtual space. The diamond is owned by one of the relatives, and by performing a 3D scan on it, an access code to the theater (personal tomb), that is, the tomb theater, is generated.

[0091] (Step 3: Appreciation by Others) The tomb theater in the virtual space is configured to be accessible from anywhere in the world as long as it is connected to the Internet. It becomes possible to visit the tomb online. Relatives and those related to the deceased can, for example, when they are troubled in life, watch the above-mentioned paper theater (video) that can be watched in the tomb theater, and thereby get the opportunity to realize that the ancestors and predecessors also had the same kind of struggles, and it can be an opportunity to regain themselves. Even negative emotions, when stored in the memorial, can become an invaluable piece of art for future generations.

[0092] [[ID=十七]]Solution 3 NFTization of Data A backend system that focuses on the decentralization of rights. The NFTized video can also be the subject of transfer as an individual work of art, but it is placed on a predetermined blockchain instead of on existing large-scale social media. It shows an attitude of promoting the decentralization of rights and respecting individual human rights.

[0093] <II How to Use the Present Invention> Figure 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating how the present invention, primarily a self-therapy system, is used. The virtual theater is used as follows, both during the user's lifetime and after their death. Note that there may be differences from the diagram shown in Figure 5, but all are within the scope of the present invention. During life A place for self-therapy ...I will explain in detail how to use the self-therapy (system) later. after death B. Funeral venue (a place for family and friends to reunite) C Memorial for the deceased

[0094] A. How to use the self-therapy (system) 1) Medical record entry (declaration input) • Describe and report memorable and emotional events from the past, from childhood to the present. • Choosing an emotional type for each event This process involves not only recording the emotional trajectory during the time therapy is needed, but also continuing throughout old age and until death, much like saving for life insurance.

[0095] 2) Classification of emotions The emotional type self-reported in 1) forms the basis for generating the landscape that makes up the virtual space. Based on the medical records, a video (picture story) for self-therapy is generated. 3) Theater customization Based on self-reported medical records, generative art of the individual's terrain and theater is generated according to the code created by the inventor.

[0096] 4) Therapy Based on the generated terrain, therapies such as trauma therapy are conducted by meticulously tracing the timeline. 5) Repeat therapy Like exercise, the goal is to repeat the therapy 2-3 times a week.

[0097] 6) Update · Once the therapy is completed, continue to record emotional events by keeping a diary. That is, through the series of self-therapy conducted so far, the current therapy has been completed for the time being, and thereafter, continue to record one's own emotional events constantly, at any time, or as needed, into one's forties, fifties, and so on. In this way, trace the trajectory of emotions until death. · Without being dominated by temporary emotions, find true value and acquire a way of life that does not harm oneself or others, reduce the occurrence of irrational deaths such as suicide and homicide, and build a life that contributes to a richer society.

[0098] Figures 6-2 and 6-3 are examples of topographic typologies based on 24 emotional types. The former is a bird's-eye view, and the latter is a plan view. Here, the 24 emotional types are based on those used in the speech recognition research at the University of California, Berkeley. The classification method of emotional types in the present invention is not limited to this, but it is one that can be preferably used. The 24 emotional types are specifically as follows.

[0099] 1. Admiration 2. Entertainment, enjoyment 3. Anger 4. Threat, being frightened 5. Confusion 6. Insult 7. Satisfaction 8. Desire 9. Disappointment 10. Disgust 11. Conflict 12. Pleasure, being overjoyed 13. Awareness 14. Pain 15. Interest 16. Fear 17. Shame 18. Being in a good mood, overflowing with self-esteem 19. Relief 20. Sadness 21. Sad surprise 22. Happy surprise 23. Joy of victory, sense of achievement 24. Sympathy, compassion

[0100] <III Video for Self-Therapy> Figures 7 to 14 are images showing examples of videos for self-therapy according to the present invention. The consecutive images constituting this video are shown as seq1 to 16 in order from the beginning. seq1 Emotional Type Chart This chart illustrates 24 emotion types on a two-dimensional coordinate plane. As shown in the diagram, emotions that are desirable to possess as a human being are positioned closer to the center. Before starting this therapy (viewing), the user first inputs their emotions about the selected event (picture story). The goal of the therapy is to enable the user to view traumatic events from an objective perspective and to perceive them in a neutral way.

[0101] Seq2 custom emotional terrain, etc. This section displays the emotional landscape (emotional terrain) within the virtual space, generated by the user's medical record input. Here, a plan view and overhead view of the landscape, as well as a diagram of a custom theater, are shown. The custom theater's shape and color are displayed. The plan view also indicates locations within the landscape where videos generated by each event can be accessed. Here, it is shown that videos based on events at ages 3, 7, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, and 33 can be accessed.

[0102] Sequences 3-13 are the main content of this video, generated based on the medical records. seq3 Event subtitles (descriptive image, original image) The subtitle "3 years old: Entered nursery school / Couldn't enter the classroom because he disliked the other children / Spent six months in the principal's office" is displayed in dark, consistent font and against a light background. seq4 Images that symbolically represent events (landscape images, original images) The exterior of the nursery school is shown here. seq5 Subtitles expressing emotions in response to an event (descriptive image, original image) The subtitle, "It was painful and embarrassing, like climbing a rocky mountain," is displayed in light, consistent font against a dark background. seq6 Images that symbolically represent emotions (landscape images, original images) Here, an image of a mountain path is shown.

[0103] seq7 derived image, part 1 Seq8 derived image, part 2 Derivative Image of seq9, No. 3 Derivative Images of seq5, Nos. 1, 2, and 3, which are descriptive images and the original images, shown by changing the font style and background color of the original image.

[0104] Derivative Image of seq10, No. 4 Derivative Image of seq11, No. 5 Derivative Image of seq12, No. 6 Derivative Image of seq13, No. 7 Derivative Images of seq6, Nos. 4, 5, and 6, which are landscape images and the original images, shown by changing the color scheme and shading of the original image through image processing.

[0105] Redisplay of the Custom Emotional Landscape of seq14 The custom emotional landscape = landscape shown by seq2 is shown again. For the user, after watching the videos up to this point, it becomes an opportunity to consciously reexamine at what points in life this event occurred and how it should be positioned.

[0106] Redisplay of the Event Subtitle of seq15 The subtitle of seq3, "Three Talents: Entering Nursery School / Rejected by Other Children and Unable to Enter the Classroom / Stayed in the Principal's Office for Half a Year," is shown again. For the user, after watching the main video up to this point and seq14, they become aware of how their perception of this event has changed.

[0107] Redisplay of the Emotional Type Chart of seq16 and Prompt for Input The emotional type chart of seq1 is shown again. Input the current emotion after finishing this therapy. The input here allows you to confirm the change in your own emotions before and after this session on the chart and is reflected in the changes in the theater within the virtual space.

[0108] <IV Virtual Space> Figures 15-19 are images illustrating examples of virtual spaces for self-therapy videos according to the present invention. Access to this virtual space, entry into the theater, the implementation of therapy, and the completed theater serving as a burial site are shown in order as VR-1, VR-2, ..., VR-10. In the descriptions of each image shown below, "you" refers to the user. VR-1 Your Trip Let me archive your life At the top of a landscape created based on your emotions lies the Theater of Emotional Trajectories.

[0109] VR-2 Emotional Trajectory Theater Each time I visit, the transparency, color, and shape change. VR-3 theater interior There is a small model of the terrain created based on the trajectory of emotions, and a screen. VR-4 ACT Therapy (Selection of Session Subject) Based on this model, the user selects which point in time (the period in their life when a particular event occurred) they want to focus on. VR-5 Emotional Trajectory Landscape This is a topographical model created based on memorable emotional events from birth to the present. The humidity and elevation of mountain ranges, as well as the weather, can be defined based on emotions such as joy, anger, sadness, and happiness. These definitions are then applied to an algorithm to create each individual's topography.

[0110] VR-6 ACT Therapy Each time a user visits this virtual space, they select which era's emotions they want to reflect on and then perform exercises (self-therapy) based on videos displayed on the screen and the procedures of ACT therapy.

[0111] VR-7 Therapy Experience, 1st Session The following shows the changes in the theater (grave) as the sessions progressed. The first session was still highly uncertain. VR-8 therapy experience, 3rd time The transparency increases, and the individual's own color emerges. 24th VR-9 Therapy Experience The transparency becomes extremely high and it becomes like a beautiful gemstone. Along with the transparency of the visualized theater, the person himself / herself also begins to actually feel that it has an effect on his / her own mind.

[0112] VR-10 Tomb Theater (VR Tomb Theater) After the death of the user, relatives and friends visit this theater and can experience, as visual images, the videos seen and the emotional trajectories experienced by the subject. It is expected that people who have daily conflicts will come to recognize that the conflicts are not only their own, and will express gratitude to the deceased and their families, and change to a way of life with more hope for the future than before.

[0113] Figure 20 is a diagram of the VR tomb theater, that is, an image for explaining an example of use of the virtual space funeral system according to the present invention (AC-1, VR-11, 12, 13). Each image in the figure will be described. AC-1 1) Access to the VR world (physical world) Based on the shared access code, each worshiper uses a VR headset to enter the VR world. VR-11 2) Tomb Theater (VR world) The worshipers walk towards the theater of the deceased used in the therapy.

[0114] VR-12 3) Theater Entrance (VR world) [[ID=·34]]Enter the theater. VR-13 4) Inside the Theater (VR world) The worshipers share a video of the emotional trajectory experienced by the deceased during his / her lifetime, which was recorded during the therapy, and mourn the deceased. While mourning, they virtually experience the beautiful moments experienced by the deceased.

[0115] <Supplementary Explanation Regarding Screenings, etc. in the Tomb Theater> The "Emotional Trajectory Autobiographical Videos" screened and viewable within the Cemetery Theater primarily consist of self-therapy videos based on the pre-death declarations of deceased individuals who underwent self-therapy, but are not strictly limited to these. Including this, it should be noted, with some overlap, that the following items, for example, are also included within the scope of this invention. (a) To express and shape the landscape of life through generative art. (i) Based on (a), to create realistic (photographic) images related to the life landscape. (c) To express and create images related to the life landscape using methods of expression other than (a) and (b), such as illustrations.

[0116] (e) At the grave theater, both (i) and (iii) can be screened, and they can be screened in an appropriate mixed or edited form, such as by arranging them alternately. (e) Individual self-therapy videos related to each event (each age group) of the deceased may be used not only by showing them as they are, but also by editing and shortening them as appropriate. For example, a video that originally consisted of 10 images may be shortened to 2 images. (c) In addition, the specific structure of the self-therapy video and the "emotional trajectory autobiographical video" based on the life landscape may be freely constructed using conventionally known methods.

[0117] Figures 21-24 are slideshows (parts 1-4) showing an example of the structure of an autobiographical video depicting the trajectory of emotions according to the present invention, consisting of 20 images (slides) from 01 to 20. This is an example of an illustration that depicts the life of painter Marc Chagall as a journey along a desert road, based on the biography of the painter Marc Chagall, and falls under the category of (c) above. In each of the images from 01 to 20, the illustration is shown on the left and the explanation on the right.

[0118] The description has a three - part structure: the upper part (the first line), the middle part (the second line), and the lower part (the third line, partly the third and fourth lines). In the upper part, there is "Slide (image) number_Image", in the middle part, there is "Age", and in the lower part, there is "Events, etc." described. For example, in 01 of Figure 21, for the period from birth in Russia in 1887 to 1891 (0 - 4 years old), the scenery is composed with the image of "New Sprout". In 06 of Figure 22, for 1915 (28 years old) when he held his first solo exhibition in Berlin and got married to his first wife, the scenery is composed with the image of "Blooming". In 17 of Figure 24, for 1956 when the war ended and he went to the United States, the scenery is composed with the image of "Regeneration".

[0119] Note that 20 in Figure 24 is a slide representing the final period until his death in Paris in 1985. Although it is omitted in this figure, there is a tomb theater at the end of the road depicted here. Also, the image here is "neutral", which corresponds to the fact that in the above <III Video for Self - Therapy>, the goal of therapy is set as "how to be able to capture traumatic events from an objective perspective and be regarded as neutral". The survivors, friends, and relatives who visit the tomb theater in the VR space can appreciate the slide show in which the life of the deceased, Chagall, is illustrated as shown in Figures 21 - 24. Also, it may be shown as a video (the above (e)) in which images realistically representing the same content are mixed. Also, - this is of course fictional - it is also possible to appreciate the self - therapy videos or their edited versions for each age (01 - 20) of the deceased.

[0120] <VI Conclusion> Traditional art was primarily based on manual labor. Furthermore, constructing and creating architecture and art based on elusive emotions was left to the subjectivity of the artist or creator, making it difficult for anything other than a human being. However, with today's technology, it is possible to generate multiple types of art according to a certain method or formula, as seen in generative art. This invention constructs a self-therapy system that also has an artistic aspect, using digital content creation technology including VR and generative art creation technology. The system of this invention, upon receiving the user's intentions, responds by creating and returning a digital creation that reflects the user's emotional trajectory, that is, a projection of the user themselves.

[0121] This digital creation changes as the user continues to engage with it. In other words, this system provides self-organizing content that changes and grows together with the user until the very end. There is a saying that a person's life is a unique work of art, and this invention can be said to embody a person in a work of art.

[0122] As mentioned above, while the present invention has an artistic aspect, the very act of expressing human emotions not through conventional manual methods but through generative art production techniques is novel, and the present invention was completed with this challenge deeply embedded within it. [Industrial applicability]

[0123] This invention Self-therapy video generation system According to this invention, users can proactively perform therapy on themselves to improve their mental health without the help of a therapist or counselor. Furthermore, the results derived from conducting therapy using such a self-therapy video generation system can be actively reused in the spiritual realm, such as for improving an individual's mental state or for religious ceremonies and funerals. In particular, this invention can be produced using AI, machine learning, and virtual space experience technology, and has high industrial applicability in the fields of psychology, psychotherapy, self-improvement technology and industry, the production and use of digital content such as VR, the production and use of generative art, the religious ceremonies and funeral services industry, and all related fields.
