Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The menu generation system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that generates original menus for 365 days based on the user's personal data, tailored to the user's health, and provides a shopping list in cooperation with information on nearby supermarkets. This menu generation system uses AI to analyze the user's attributes (gender, address, family structure, height and weight, likes and dislikes, etc.), ideal monthly food expenses, dietary habits, and other personal requests, and generates an original menu tailored to the individual's health condition and lifestyle. Next, based on the generated menu and information on nearby supermarkets, the system shows what and how much to buy on which day in order to use up ingredients without wasting them, purchase good value ingredients, and keep food expenses within the budget. This is expected to be a perspective for housewives and people who cook at home every day. For example, the user inputs their own attributes and requests. For example, data such as gender, address, family structure, height and weight, likes and dislikes, ideal monthly food expenses, and dietary habits are input. This data is analyzed by AI. Next, AI analyzes the input data and generates an original menu tailored to the individual's health condition and lifestyle. For example, a nutritionally balanced menu according to the health condition, an easy-to-make menu that matches the lifestyle, etc. are generated. Furthermore, a shopping list is generated based on the generated menu and information on nearby supermarkets. For example, what and how much to go shopping on which day is presented so that ingredients can be used up without waste, ingredients can be purchased at a good price, and food costs can be kept within the budget. This shopping list is displayed on the user's terminal device. With this mechanism, the user can easily obtain an original menu that matches his / her health condition and lifestyle, and can shop more efficiently. This is expected to be of help to housewives and people who cook at home every day. As a result, the menu generation system can provide an original menu that matches the health condition and lifestyle of the user, and generate an efficient shopping list.
[0029] The menu generation system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a generation unit, an acquisition unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives user data. The user data includes, for example, gender, address, family structure, height and weight, likes and dislikes, ideal monthly food expenses, and dietary habits, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit, for example, stores the data entered by the user in a database and transmits it to the generation unit for analysis. The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the data received by the reception unit and generates an original menu that matches the individual's health condition and lifestyle. The generation AI analyzes the user's data and generates an optimal menu, for example, using a neural network or deep learning technology. The generation unit generates, for example, a nutritionally balanced menu according to the health condition, or an easy-to-make menu that matches the lifestyle. The acquisition unit acquires supermarket information. The supermarket information includes, for example, the store's location, business hours, and inventory information, but is not limited to such examples. The acquisition unit, for example, collects supermarket information via the Internet and stores it in a database. The providing unit provides a shopping list to the user based on the menu generated by the generating unit and the information acquired by the acquiring unit. The providing unit, for example, displays the shopping list on the user's terminal device. The shopping list includes, for example, necessary ingredients, quantities, and purchasing locations, but is not limited to such examples. In this way, the menu generating system according to the embodiment can generate a menu tailored to health based on the user's data and provide an efficient shopping list.
[0030] The reception unit receives the user's data. The user's data includes, but is not limited to, for example, gender, address, family structure, height and weight, likes and dislikes, ideal monthly food expenses, and eating habits. For example, the reception unit stores the data entered by the user in a database and transmits it to the generation unit for analysis. Specifically, the information entered by the user through a dedicated application or website is stored in the database in real time. This ensures that the user's data is always kept up to date and can be accessed immediately when needed by the generation unit. Furthermore, the reception unit also has a function of periodically updating the user's data, and the database is automatically updated every time the user enters new information. For example, if the user loses weight or the family structure changes, the information is reflected immediately. This allows the generation unit to always generate a menu based on the latest data. Furthermore, the reception unit encrypts data and restricts access to the data in order to protect the user's privacy. This minimizes the risk of the user's personal information being leaked to a third party. Furthermore, the reception unit also has a function of analyzing the user's input data and detecting input errors and inconsistencies. For example, if a user mistakenly enters inaccurate data, the system will automatically issue a warning and prompt the user to enter the correct data. This will improve the accuracy of the data and allow the generation unit to generate more accurate menus.
[0031] The generation unit uses the generation AI to analyze the data received by the reception unit and generate an original menu that matches the individual's health condition and lifestyle. The generation AI analyzes the user's data using, for example, neural networks and deep learning technology to generate an optimal menu. Specifically, the generation AI receives data on the user's health condition and lifestyle as input, and proposes an optimal menu based on past data and nutritional knowledge. For example, if the user wants to go on a diet, the generation AI generates a low-calorie menu that takes into account calorie restrictions. Also, if the user wants to consume a lot of a specific nutrient, the generation AI proposes a menu that uses ingredients that are rich in that nutrient. The generation AI also takes into account the user's preferences and allergy information to generate a menu that satisfies the user. For example, if the user dislikes a specific ingredient, the generation AI generates a menu that avoids that ingredient. The generation AI can also adjust the cooking time and difficulty to suit the user's lifestyle. For example, it proposes simple menus that can be made in a short time for busy users, and proposes elaborate dishes for users who have time. In addition, the generation AI can also propose menus that use seasonal ingredients, taking into account the characteristics of the season and region. This allows the user to always enjoy fresh and delicious meals. The menu generator performs final adjustments, such as calculating nutritional balance and calories, before providing the generated menu to the user. This allows the user to eat a healthy and balanced meal.
[0032] The acquisition unit acquires supermarket information. The supermarket information includes, for example, the location of the store, business hours, and inventory information, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the acquisition unit collects supermarket information via the Internet and stores it in a database. Specifically, the acquisition unit acquires the latest inventory information and sale information using the supermarket's official website and API. This allows the user to always create a shopping list based on the latest information. Furthermore, the acquisition unit also has a function of preferentially acquiring information on the nearest supermarket based on the user's location information. For example, the convenience of shopping is improved by preferentially displaying information on supermarkets near the user's home or workplace. Furthermore, the acquisition unit updates supermarket inventory information in real time to ensure that the user can purchase the ingredients he or she needs. For example, if a specific ingredient is out of stock, it also has a function of suggesting a substitute. This allows the user to smoothly prepare ingredients without any trouble when shopping. Furthermore, the acquisition unit also collects supermarket sale information and coupon information and provides it to the user. This allows the user to shop at a good price and save on monthly food expenses. The acquisition unit can centrally manage this information and link with other systems and departments as necessary. For example, the acquired information may be stored in a cloud server and made accessible to the providing unit, thereby enabling the acquiring unit to collect information efficiently and effectively and improve the performance of the entire system.
[0033] The providing unit provides a shopping list to the user based on the menu generated by the generating unit and the information acquired by the acquiring unit. The providing unit, for example, displays the shopping list on the user's terminal device. The shopping list includes, for example, necessary ingredients, quantities, and purchase locations, but is not limited to such examples. Specifically, the providing unit displays the shopping list on the user's smartphone or tablet through a dedicated app, allowing the user to easily access it. Furthermore, the providing unit updates the shopping list in real time, allowing the user to shop based on the latest information. For example, if the inventory information of a supermarket changes, the providing unit immediately updates the shopping list and notifies the user. The providing unit also has a function of suggesting substitutes taking into account the user's preferences and allergy information. For example, if a specific ingredient is out of stock, another ingredient with the same nutritional value is suggested. This allows the user to smoothly prepare ingredients without any trouble when shopping. Furthermore, the providing unit displays sale information and coupon information on the shopping list, allowing the user to shop more advantageously. For example, if a specific ingredient is on sale, the information is displayed on the shopping list to notify the user. This allows the user to save on monthly food expenses. The providing unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and convenience of the shopping list. For example, the providing unit can provide a function that allows the user to submit opinions and requests regarding the shopping list, and improve the system based on that feedback. This allows the providing unit to provide better service to the user and increase satisfaction.
[0034] The reception unit can receive data including the user's attributes and requests as user data.

[0159] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.
[0160] For example, the reception unit is realized by the microphone 238 of the robot 414, and receives data input by voice from the user. For example, the generation unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the user's data using a generation AI to generate an original menu. For example, the acquisition unit acquires supermarket information from the Internet via the communication I / F 44 of the robot 414. For example, the provision unit is realized by the speaker 240 of the robot 414, and provides a shopping list to the user by voice. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.
[0161] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the emotion of the user according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the user according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the robot, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the emotion of the robot.
[0162] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an emotion map 400 on 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 emotions are arranged. The more outside the concentric circles, the more emotions that represent states and actions that arise from a state of mind are arranged. Emotions are a concept that includes emotions and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain are arranged. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are arranged. On the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain and are induced by situational judgment are arranged. In addition, on the upper side of the concentric circles, emotions of "pleasure" are arranged, and on the lower side, emotions of "discomfort" are arranged. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0163] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction of emotion map 400 and usually fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0164] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on inside one's mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further out you go on emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0165] Here, human emotions are based on various balances such as posture and blood sugar level, and when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, motorcycles, etc., based on various balances such as posture and battery level, so that when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. The emotion map may be generated, for example, based on the emotion map of Dr. Mitsuyoshi (Research on speech emotion recognition and emotion brain physiological signal analysis system, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). On the left half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "reaction" where sensation is dominant are lined up. On the right half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "situation" where situation recognition is dominant are lined up.
[0166] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. The first is the negative emotion around the middle of "repentance" or "remorse" on the situation side. In other words, this 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 positive emotion around "desire" on the response side. In other words, this is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0167] The emotion identification model 59 inputs the user input to a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the emotion of the user. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple learning data that are combinations of the user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relief," "calm," and "encouraging," have similar emotion values.
[0168] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers, including computer 22.
[0169] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable computer-readable non-transitory storage medium such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[0170] In addition, 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 upon request from the data processing device 12.
[0171] It is not necessary to store all 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 all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
[0172] As the hardware resource for executing the specific process, various processors as shown below can be used. An example of the processor is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing the specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. Another example of the processor is a dedicated electric circuit, which is a processor having a circuit configuration designed exclusively for executing a specific process, such as a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), or an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Each processor has a built-in or connected memory, and each processor executes the specific process by using the memory.
[0173] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be one of these various processors, or may be 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). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0174] As an example of a configuration using one processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0175] Furthermore, more specifically, the hardware structure of these various processors can be an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor elements. The specific processes described above are merely examples. It goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the order of processes may be changed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0176] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments are described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, the smart glasses 214, the headset terminal 314, and the robot 414 are only examples, and they may be combined with each other, or may be other devices. In the above example, the first and second embodiments are described separately, but they may be combined.
