[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user. Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The health support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system in which a user inputs information about his / her weight and dietary habits, and a generation AI provides daily advice. This system is provided for 300 yen per month, and the AI supports the user in a conversational format until the user reaches the target weight. In addition, the system also provides instructions for exercise. For example, the user inputs information about his / her weight and dietary habits into the app. For example, the user inputs detailed information such as what he / she ate for breakfast, what he / she ate for lunch, what he / she ate for dinner, and whether or not he / she ate snacks. This information is input to the generation AI. Next, the generation AI analyzes the input information and provides daily advice to the user. For example, if the user's diet is unbalanced, the system suggests a balanced diet. In addition, if the user's weight is increasing, the system advises the user to reduce their calorie intake. In addition, the generation AI supports the user toward their target weight. For example, if the user sets a target weight, the system provides specific advice toward that goal. For example, in order to lose 1 kg in a week, the system provides detailed advice such as how much the user should limit their daily calorie intake and what kind of exercise to do. In addition, the generation AI also provides instructions for exercise. For example, if the user sets the time and type of exercise to be performed, the system provides advice to maximize the effect of the exercise. For example, when jogging, the system gives specific instructions such as how far to run and at what pace. This system enables users to efficiently manage their own health. The generation AI provides daily advice, enabling users to properly manage their weight and diet and receive support toward their target weight. In addition, by receiving exercise instructions, users can perform effective exercise. In this way, the health support system can efficiently support users' health management.
[0029] The health support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a provision unit, and an instruction unit. The reception unit receives information on the user's weight and dietary habits. The information on the user's weight and dietary habits includes, for example, weight measurements, meal contents, calorie intake, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit receives, for example, information on the weight and dietary habits input by the user to the app. The reception unit can also transmit the information input by the user to the generation AI. The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the information received by the reception unit and generate daily advice. The generation AI uses, for example, natural language generation technology to analyze the information input by the user and generate appropriate advice. For example, the generation AI analyzes the balance of the user's diet and suggests a balanced diet. The generation AI can also analyze the fluctuation of the user's weight and advise adjustment of calorie intake. The provision unit provides the user with the advice generated by the analysis unit. For example, the provision unit notifies the user of the advice generated by the generation AI. The provision unit can also display the advice in the app so that the user can check the advice. The instruction unit gives instructions for exercise based on the advice provided by the provision unit. The instruction unit, for example, provides the user with exercise instructions generated by the generation AI. For example, the instruction unit provides advice for maximizing the effect of exercise based on the time and type of exercise set by the user. In this way, the health support system according to the embodiment can support the user's health management by accepting and analyzing information on the user's weight and dietary habits, providing advice, and giving instructions for exercise.
[0030] The reception unit receives information on the user's weight and dietary habits. The information on the user's weight and dietary habits includes, but is not limited to, for example, weight measurements, dietary details, and calorie intake. The reception unit receives, for example, weight and dietary habits information input by the user to the app. Specifically, the user can input the daily weight and dietary details into a dedicated application using a smartphone or tablet. The weight measurements may be automatically sent to the app from a Bluetooth (registered trademark)-enabled weight scale, which can save the user time. As for the dietary details, the user can enter the types and amounts of food eaten to record the calorie intake and nutrient balance in detail. Furthermore, the reception unit can also transmit the information input by the user to the generation AI. The generation AI receives this information and uses it as data for analysis. For example, when the user inputs the types and amounts of food eaten for breakfast, the information is immediately transmitted to the generation AI and is ready for analysis. In addition, the reception unit stores the user's input information on a cloud server, allowing data backup and access from other devices. This allows the user to check and manage their health information anytime and anywhere. In addition, the reception unit also has a function of periodically checking the data entered by the user, and if there is any missing or inaccurate data, notifying the user and urging them to correct it. This enables the reception unit to collect the user's health information accurately and efficiently, and improves the reliability of the entire system.
[0031] The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the information received by the reception unit and generate daily advice. The generation AI uses, for example, natural language generation technology to analyze the user's input information and generate appropriate advice. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the balance of the user's diet and suggests a balanced diet. For example, based on the dietary content entered by the user, the generation AI analyzes the nutrients of each food and determines whether they are in excess or deficiency. If a specific nutrient is lacking, the generation AI suggests foods and recipes to supplement that nutrient. The generation AI can also analyze the user's weight fluctuations and advise adjustment of calorie intake. For example, if the user's weight is increasing, the generation AI suggests a specific meal plan to reduce calorie intake. Conversely, if the weight is decreasing, advice is given to increase calorie intake. Furthermore, the generation AI can analyze long-term health trends and predict future risks based on the user's past data. For example, by analyzing data from the past few months, if the user is exposed to a specific health risk, specific advice is provided to reduce the risk. This allows the analysis unit to comprehensively grasp the user's health condition and provide individually optimized advice. Furthermore, the analysis unit regularly updates the learning algorithm of the generating AI and incorporates the latest health information and research results, allowing it to continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the advice.
[0032] The providing unit provides the user with the advice generated by the analysis unit. For example, the providing unit notifies the user of the advice generated by the generation AI. Specifically, the advice can be immediately conveyed to the user by using a pop-up notification or a push notification within the application. For example, if the generation AI makes a suggestion for a balanced lunch after breakfast, the suggestion is notified to the user's smartphone. The providing unit can also display the advice within the app so that the user can confirm the advice. The user's health information and advice are centrally managed within the app, and the user can easily refer to past advice and health data. Furthermore, the providing unit also has a function to customize the content of the advice to suit the user's preferences. For example, if the user does not like a particular food, an alternative that does not include that food can be suggested. The providing unit also has a function to monitor the effect of the advice and collect feedback from the user. By inputting the results of the user following the advice, the providing unit can evaluate the effect and reflect it in the next advice. As a result, the providing unit can always provide optimal advice to the user and maximize the effect of health management. Furthermore, the providing unit periodically updates the contents of the advice and incorporates the latest health information and research results, thereby enabling the user to always be provided with the latest information.
[0033] The instruction unit gives instructions for exercise based on the advice provided by the provision unit. The instruction unit provides the user with, for example, exercise instructions generated by the generation AI. Specifically, the instruction unit provides advice for maximizing the effect of exercise based on the time and type of exercise set by the user. For example, if the user sets to jog in the morning, the instruction unit suggests a stretching method and an appropriate pace to enhance the effect of the jogging. In addition, if the user performs strength training, the instruction unit can specifically instruct the correct form, number of times, and number of sets for various exercises. Furthermore, the instruction unit also has a function of monitoring the progress of the exercise based on the user's exercise history and adjusting the exercise plan as necessary. For example, if the progress is delayed with respect to the exercise goal set by the user, the instruction unit analyzes the cause and provides specific advice for achieving the goal. In addition, the instruction unit can collect feedback from the user and evaluate the effect and satisfaction of the exercise. As a result, the instruction unit can always provide the user with optimal exercise instructions and maximize the effect of health management. Furthermore, the instruction unit can analyze the user's exercise data using the learning algorithm of the generation AI and provide an individually optimized exercise plan. This enables the instruction unit to provide optimal exercise instructions according to the user's health condition and goals, maximizing the effectiveness of health management.
[0034] The reception unit can receive specific information on the user's weight or diet. The specific information includes, for example, details of meals, changes in weight, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit, for example, receives detailed information on meals input by the user to the app. The reception unit can also receive weight change information input by the user. In this way, the reception unit can provide more accurate advice by receiving detailed information on the user's weight and diet. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can transmit the information input by the user to AI, and the AI can analyze the information and extract specific information.
[0035] The analysis unit can analyze the user's input information by the generation AI and generate appropriate advice. The generation AI can analyze the user's input information by using, for example, natural language generation technology and generate appropriate advice. The generation AI can analyze, for example, the balance of the user's diet and suggest a balanced diet. The generation AI can also analyze the user's weight fluctuation and advise the user to adjust their calorie intake. For example, the generation AI can analyze detailed information about the diet input by the user and, if the diet is unbalanced, suggest a balanced diet. The generation AI can also analyze weight fluctuation information input by the user and, if the weight is increasing, advise the user to reduce their calorie intake. In this way, the generation AI can analyze the user's input information and generate appropriate advice. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can transmit the information input by the user to the generation AI, and the generation AI can analyze the information and generate advice.
[0036] The providing unit can provide the advice generated by the generation AI to the user. For example, the providing unit notifies the user of the advice generated by the generation AI. The providing unit can also display the advice in the app so that the user can confirm the advice. For example, the providing unit notifies the user of the advice generated by the generation AI to the user's smartphone. The providing unit can also display the advice in the app so that the user can confirm the advice. In this way, the advice generated by the generation AI can be provided to the user to support the user's health management. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the providing unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the providing unit can provide the advice using an AI model for notifying the user of the advice generated by the generation AI.
[0037] The instruction unit can provide the user with exercise instructions generated by the generation AI. The instruction unit, for example, provides the user with exercise instructions generated by the generation AI. For example, the instruction unit provides advice for maximizing the effect of exercise based on the time and type of exercise set by the user. For example, the instruction unit provides specific instructions such as how far to run and at what pace to run when jogging. The instruction unit can also provide advice for maximizing the effect of exercise based on the type of exercise set by the user. This makes it possible to support the user's exercise by providing the user with exercise instructions generated by the generation AI. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the instruction unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the instruction unit can provide exercise instructions using an AI model for providing the user with exercise instructions generated by the generation AI.
[0038] The instruction unit can receive the user's feedback and adjust the next exercise instruction based on the feedback. The instruction unit, for example, receives feedback after the user has exercised. For example, the user can input the user's thoughts after exercising and the results of the exercise. The instruction unit adjusts the next exercise instruction based on the user's feedback. For example, the user can adjust the intensity and type of the next exercise based on the user's thoughts after exercising. The instruction unit can also adjust the next exercise instruction based on the results of the user's exercise. This allows the user to receive the user's feedback and adjust the next exercise instruction based on it, thereby providing more effective exercise instructions. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the instruction unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the instruction unit can input the user's feedback to AI, and the AI can analyze the feedback and adjust the next exercise instruction.
[0039] The health support system includes a protection unit that protects and anonymizes the input data of the user. The protection unit, for example, encrypts the data input by the user. For example, the protection unit encrypts the weight and dietary information input by the user to prevent a third party from accessing the data. The protection unit also anonymizes the user's data. For example, the protection unit protects the user's privacy by deleting the user's personal information and anonymizing the data. This makes it possible to protect the user's privacy by protecting and anonymizing the user's input data. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the protection unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the protection unit can protect the data by using an AI model for encrypting the user's data.
[0040] The reception unit can analyze the user's past input history and suggest the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit automatically displays meal contents that the user frequently input in the past as candidates. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (such as voice and text) that the user used in the past. Furthermore, the reception unit can analyze the user's tendency to input during a specific time period from the user's past input history and suggest the optimal input timing. This improves input efficiency by analyzing the user's past input history and suggesting the optimal input method. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's past input history to AI, which can analyze the history and suggest the optimal input method.
[0041] The reception unit can filter the information on weight and dietary habits based on the user's current health condition and lifestyle habits when inputting the information. For example, if the user has diabetes, the reception unit displays a warning when inputting a high-sugar meal. In addition, if the user is on a diet, the reception unit can also suggest an alternative when inputting a high-calorie meal. Furthermore, if the user is not exercising enough, the reception unit can send a notification encouraging the user to exercise. This allows more appropriate information to be input by filtering based on the user's current health condition and lifestyle habits. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input data on the user's health condition and lifestyle habits to AI, which can analyze the data and perform filtering.
[0042] When inputting information on weight and dietary habits, the reception unit can preferentially input information with high relevance in consideration of the geographical location information of the user. For example, when the user is in a specific area, the reception unit preferentially inputs information on ingredients and dishes in that area. In addition, when the user is traveling, the reception unit can also preferentially input meal information at the travel destination. Furthermore, when the user eats at a specific restaurant, the reception unit can also preferentially input menu information of the restaurant. In this way, more appropriate information can be input by preferentially inputting information with high relevance in consideration of the geographical location information of the user. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the geographical location information of the user to AI, which can analyze the information and preferentially input information with high relevance.
[0043] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and input related information when inputting weight and dietary information. For example, the reception unit automatically inputs meal information shared by the user on social media. The reception unit can also acquire and input information from health-related accounts that the user follows on social media. Furthermore, the reception unit can automatically input meal information of a place where the user has checked in on social media. This improves input efficiency by analyzing the user's social media activity and inputting related information. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's social media activity to AI, which can analyze the activity and input related information.
[0044] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the advice based on the user's health goals during the analysis. For example, if the user wants to lose weight in a short period of time, the analysis unit can provide detailed diet and exercise advice. In addition, if the user wants to maintain health in a long period of time, the analysis unit can also provide balanced advice. Furthermore, if the user has a specific health problem, the analysis unit can provide advice specific to that problem. This allows more appropriate advice to be provided by adjusting the level of detail of the advice based on the user's health goals. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's health goals into AI, and the AI can adjust the level of detail of the advice based on the goals.
[0045] During the analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the user's diet. For example, if the user is a vegetarian, the analysis unit applies an analysis algorithm for vegetarians. Furthermore, if the user has diabetes, the analysis unit can also apply an analysis algorithm for diabetes. Furthermore, if the user is an athlete, the analysis unit can also apply an analysis algorithm for athletes. In this way, by applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the user's diet, more appropriate advice can be provided. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the category of the user's diet to the AI, and the AI can apply the analysis algorithm depending on the category.
[0046] The analysis unit can determine the priority of advice based on the time of submission of the user's input information during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can provide breakfast advice preferentially based on information input by the user in the morning. The analysis unit can also provide lunch advice preferentially based on information input by the user in the afternoon. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also provide dinner advice preferentially based on information input by the user in the evening. This allows more appropriate advice to be provided by determining the priority of advice based on the time of submission of the user's input information. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the time of submission of the user's input information to AI, and the AI can analyze the information to determine the priority of advice.
[0047] The analysis unit can adjust the order of advice based on the relevance of the user during analysis. For example, if the user has a specific health problem, the analysis unit can preferentially provide advice related to the problem. In addition, if the user has a specific goal, the analysis unit can also preferentially provide advice related to the goal. Furthermore, if the user has a specific eating pattern, the analysis unit can also preferentially provide advice related to the pattern. In this way, by adjusting the order of advice based on the relevance of the user, more appropriate advice can be provided. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the relevance of the user to AI, and the AI can analyze the information and adjust the order of advice.
[0048] When providing advice, the providing unit can select the optimal providing method by referring to the user's past advice history. For example, the providing unit preferentially provides a form of advice that the user has previously preferred. The providing unit can also provide advice that was effective for the user again.

The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the emotion of the user using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

The data generation model 58 includes, for example, a text generation AI, an image generation AI, and a multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction, and in this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In the data processing device 12 and the like, the data generation model 58 includes a plurality of types, and the data generation model 58 includes an AI other than the generation AI.

[0171] 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.

[0172] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned reception unit, analysis unit, provision unit, instruction unit, and protection unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the reception unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives weight and dietary information input by the user. The analysis unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and analyzes the user's information using a generation AI.

The correspondence between each unit and the device and control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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).
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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."
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
