RATH Corporation Receives Patent for User-Adaptive Generative AI Technology Accelerating Gamification Applications and Evolution of Generative AI!

RATH Corporation (https://rath.co.jp) (hereinafter referred to as "RATH") has been granted a patent (Patent No. 7623702) for user-adaptive generative AI technology that learns the behavior of users of games and gamification services and adapts to their usage styles. This technology is based on the use of a pseudo-AI system to generate AI.

This technology can be used for gamification applications such as providing advanced communication services to users using pseudo-personalized characters created by generative AI, or providing an optimized game experience for each user by using generative AI to enhance the dialogue ability of non-player characters (NPCs) in a game. The AI analyzes the user's behavior patterns and personalizes strategic decision-making, dialogue, and assistance, enabling an unprecedentedly advanced interactive experience.

The "AIboW (buddy) application" using this technology was released only for iOS at the end of October 2024, and now we are pleased to announce the release of a new application for Android as well.

Outline and main features of the patent

The most distinctive feature of this patented technology is that the AI adapts and evolves sequentially for each user. It is intended to dynamically optimize the generated AI by combining deep learning and reinforcement learning and learning the user's behavioral history.

In addition, it is expected that on-device type and cloud type will be used in parallel, and the style of federated learning is expected to increase in the future. This technology is a style of sequential federated learning by capturing differential data from individual processing on the user terminal side (by on-device AI, applications, etc.) on the infrastructure side.

Main features of the patent

1) User-adaptive reinforcement learning AI

The AI learns and updates optimal behaviors according to the usage (play) style of games, gamification services, etc. by individual users.

2) Dynamic NPC control by generative AI

NPCs in games and gamification services adapt to the user's play style and evolve strategically.

3) Automatic Assist AI

Constantly analyzes user behavior and generates optimal guides

4) Emotion recognition and interactive AI

Estimates player emotions and intimacy, and dynamically adjusts speech and responses in a way that reflects the tone, expression, and character traits of each of the multiple AI characters.

5) Multiplayer AI

Learning the behavior of other players in game play to enhance competitive AI play and cooperative play with AI in the game.

2. Application areas of the patent

This patented technology can be applied not only to games and gamification applications, but also to a wide range of fields as a fundamental technology for next-generation AI.

■Gaming & eSports

Creating next-generation interactive experiences with user-adaptive AI

Education & Training

Realization of AI trainers that adapt to the progress of each learner

Metaverse & Virtual Assistant

Providing optimal interaction by learning each user's behavior and emotions

Entertainment & Video Production

AI adapts to the flow of the story in real time to enhance interactive content

We have already started commercial provision of "Partner AI Platform" as our technology platform from 2023, and in 2024, we will release "AIboW (partner) application" that can be used as a solo life support service regardless of gender or age group. The patented technology is used in all of these technological platforms and services.

We will further promote this technology to develop AI-driven next-generation interactive systems and collaborate with partner companies in Japan and overseas.

About Partner AI Platform

The Partner AI Platform is based on the design concept of merging an original LLM built using proprietary training data based on an open-source LLM with the best performing LLM commercially available at the time, to achieve superior performance. The platform is based on the design concept of merging the best-performing LLMs with the best-performing commercial LLMs at that point in time to achieve superior performance.

The "Partner AI Platform" emphasizes a "good balance" that allows users to casually enjoy natural spoken conversations with the generated AI while also contributing to problem solving, if necessary. The specific features can be summarized in the following three points.

1) Enjoyable "conversation" as if you were a real person.

2) Continuous improvement of mutual understanding through conversation.

3) Support "problem solving" through conversation.

About AIboW application

AIboW is a near-future service that creates communication opportunities for people of all genders and ages, and allows them to develop their own "digital personal assistant" while enjoying daily conversations.

The AIboW application is a futuristic service that creates communication opportunities for people of all genders and ages, allowing them to enjoy their own "digital personal secretary" as they have fun conversations every day. The content of the conversation changes based on the user's profile acquired through the conversation, and the user can experience the feeling that people who have never met each other before are getting to know each other and becoming closer through the conversation.

Features of AIboW

1) You can freely design your own original (UGC) character using the AI

2) A 3D character with rich emotional expression becomes a talking partner.

3) You can also choose the voice of the character.

4) Both voice input/output and text chat are available

5) Character intimacy changes through conversations
