Description

Interactive Autobiography Writing System and Method

[0001] The present invention relates to an interactive autobiography writing system and method.

[0002] The present application claims priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0159319 filed on November 11, 2024 and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2025-0027559 filed on March 4, 2025, and all contents described in the specifications and drawings of said applications are incorporated by reference into the present application.

[0003] Generally, an autobiography is a book that records an individual's life, written for purposes such as organizing past memories and experiences to leave to future generations or reflecting on one's own life.

[0004] However, existing methods of writing autobiographies relied mainly on handwriting or text input via word processors, which required considerable time and effort from the user, and made it difficult to recall memories and write down specific details.

[0005] In particular, for the elderly (seniors), writing an autobiography is even more difficult due to not only the inconvenience of handwriting or keyboard input, but also limitations in concentration and memory during the process of systematically organizing memories accumulated over a long period.

[0006] Recently, with the advancement of text-to-speech conversion technology utilizing speech recognition and conversational systems based on artificial intelligence (AI), technologies that collect information through user speech and automatically record and analyze it are being utilized in various fields.

[0007] For example, conversational interfaces are being introduced in areas such as daily record management, health status monitoring, and voice assistant services.

[0008] However, there are few instances where these technologies have been fully applied to the field of autobiography writing, and there is a lack of systems that support autobiography creation by integrating voice data, photographic materials, and daily life data, particularly in the process of structuring and recording various events and experiences throughout a user's life.

[0009] Therefore, there is a growing need for a system that enables users to recall past memories in detail through natural conversation, systematically collects the content, and automatically compiles an autobiography.

[0010] The technical objective of the present invention is to provide an interactive autobiography writing system and method that enables a user to easily write an autobiography by naturally recalling past memories and experiences through question-and-answer with the user, and by automatically collecting and structuring answer information (including voice and text data) related to the question information provided to the user.
