In addition, in this specification, the same idea as "A and / or B" is also applied when three or more things are expressed by connecting them with "and / or."

[0016] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] 1, a data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52.

[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific process program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific process program 56 from the storage 32, and executes the read specific process program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific process is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific process program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. 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. In the emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59, various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, are performed, but are not limited to such examples. In addition, the estimation and prediction of the emotion also include, for example, analysis of the emotion.

[0026] In the smart device 14, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used together with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10.

[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 AI ​​system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that identifies nutrients that may be lacking in the body based on the discomfort or subjective symptoms felt by the user and suggests appropriate meals. In this AI system, the user inputs subjective symptoms, and the AI ​​analyzes the information to identify the nutrients that are lacking and suggests meals. For example, if the user inputs symptoms such as "easily tired," "easily stiff shoulders," and "frequent headaches," the AI ​​identifies that there is a possibility of a deficiency in iron or B vitamins based on the information. Next, the AI ​​suggests meals to supplement the identified nutrients. The suggestions vary depending on where the user eats. For example, if the user eats at a convenience store or chain restaurant, the AI ​​suggests recommended menus in cooperation with menu information. In addition, if the user selects to cook at home, the AI ​​suggests recipes. In addition, the AI ​​provides nutrient information for the suggested meals. For example, details of the nutrients contained in the proposed menus and recipes are displayed so that the user can check which nutrients can be ingested. This allows the user to choose an appropriate meal that matches their physical condition. For example, a user who feels easily tired can reduce fatigue by following the AI's suggestions and eating meals rich in iron and B vitamins. Additionally, users who tend to suffer from stiff shoulders can reduce their stiffness by following the AI's suggestions and eating meals rich in magnesium and vitamin E. This allows the AI ​​system to identify appropriate nutrients and suggest meals based on the user's subjective symptoms.

[0029] The AI ​​system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an identification unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit inputs a subjective symptom of a user. The subjective symptoms of the user include, for example, headache, fatigue, stomach discomfort, etc., but are not limited to such examples. The reception unit allows the user to input the subjective symptoms using, for example, a smartphone or a personal computer. The reception unit can also input the subjective symptoms using voice input or a touch panel. The identification unit uses AI to identify nutrients based on the subjective symptoms input by the reception unit. The nutrients include, for example, vitamins, minerals, proteins, etc., but are not limited to such examples. The identification unit identifies nutrients based on, for example, past data and medical knowledge by the AI. The identification unit can also identify nutrients by referring to the user's past diet history and health checkup results by the AI. The suggestion unit uses AI to suggest meals based on the nutrients identified by the identification unit. The meals include, for example, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc., but are not limited to such examples. For example, when the user eats at a convenience store or a chain restaurant, the suggestion unit suggests a recommended menu in cooperation with menu information. In addition, the suggestion unit can also suggest recipes when the user selects home cooking. This allows the AI ​​system according to the embodiment to identify appropriate nutrients based on the user's subjective symptoms and suggest meals.

[0030] The reception unit inputs the subjective symptoms of the user. The subjective symptoms of the user include, for example, headache, fatigue, stomach discomfort, etc., but are not limited to such examples. The reception unit allows the user to input the subjective symptoms using, for example, a smartphone or a personal computer. The reception unit can also input the subjective symptoms using voice input or a touch panel. Specifically, the user can input the subjective symptoms in text format through a dedicated application or web interface of the smartphone or personal computer. In the case of voice input, the user's utterance is converted into text data using voice recognition technology and imported into the system. In the case of using a touch panel, the user can easily input the subjective symptoms by tapping on an option on the screen. Furthermore, the reception unit can temporarily store the user's input data and refer to the past input history as necessary. This makes it possible for the user to recheck the subjective symptoms entered in the past or to quickly respond if a similar symptom recurs. In addition, the reception unit encrypts and stores the user's input data, and takes security measures to protect privacy. This allows the user to input the subjective symptoms with peace of mind.

[0031] The identification unit uses AI to identify nutrients based on subjective symptoms input by the reception unit. Examples of nutrients include, but are not limited to, vitamins, minerals, and proteins. For example, the identification unit uses AI to identify nutrients based on past data and medical knowledge. In addition, the identification unit can also identify nutrients by referring to the user's past dietary history and health checkup results. Specifically, the AI ​​uses natural language processing technology to analyze the subjective symptoms input by the user and identify related nutrients. For example, if a headache symptom is input, the AI ​​considers the possibility that it may be caused by a lack of vitamin B2 or magnesium. In addition, if a feeling of fatigue is input, a lack of iron or vitamin B12 may be considered. Furthermore, the AI ​​refers to a large-scale medical database and research papers to identify nutrients based on the latest medical knowledge. When referring to the user's past dietary history and health checkup results, the AI ​​performs an integrated analysis of these data and comprehensively evaluates the user's nutritional state. For example, if it is found from the past dietary history that a specific nutrient is lacking, a suggestion is made to supplement that nutrient. In addition, if the health checkup results indicate an excessive intake of a particular nutrient, the identification unit will suggest that the user refrain from taking in that nutrient. This allows the identification unit to identify optimal nutrients according to the individual situation of the user, thereby contributing to the maintenance and improvement of health.

[0032] The suggestion unit uses AI to suggest meals based on the nutrients identified by the identification unit. Meals include, for example, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, but are not limited to such examples. For example, when the user eats at a convenience store or chain restaurant, the suggestion unit suggests recommended menus in cooperation with menu information. In addition, when the user selects home cooking, the suggestion unit can also suggest recipes. Specifically, the AI ​​suggests optimal meal menus based on the identified nutrients, taking into consideration the user's preferences and allergy information. For example, if the user is deficient in vitamin C, the AI ​​suggests menus using fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamin C. When the user eats at a convenience store or chain restaurant, the AI ​​obtains the store's menu information in real time and selects menus with balanced nutrients. For example, a specific salad or sandwich may be suggested. When the user selects home cooking, the AI ​​suggests specific recipes and provides detailed explanations of the necessary ingredients and cooking procedures. In addition, the suggestion unit records the user's meal history and improves the accuracy of the suggestions based on past suggestions and user feedback. For example, if the user likes a menu that was suggested in the past, a similar menu can be suggested again. The suggestion unit also analyzes the user's diet history, detects imbalances in nutritional balance, and makes suggestions to adjust dietary content as necessary, thereby making it possible for the suggestion unit to make specific dietary suggestions to maintain and improve the user's health condition.

[0033] The system includes a providing unit that provides nutrient information of the proposed meal. The providing unit provides the nutrient information of the proposed meal to the user. The nutrient information includes, for example, nutrient content, health effects, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The providing unit, for example, displays details of nutrients contained in a proposed menu or recipe, allowing the user to confirm which nutrients can be ingested. The providing unit can also display the nutrient information graphically. For example, the nutrient content is displayed in a graph or chart, and provided in a visually easy-to-understand format. This makes it possible to provide the nutrient information of the proposed meal to the user.

[0034] The device includes a linking unit that links with menu information of convenience stores or chain stores. The linking unit links with menu information of convenience stores or chain stores. Menu information includes, for example, dish names, nutritional components, prices, etc., but is not limited to these examples.

[0040] The reception unit can preferentially input highly relevant symptoms based on the geographical location information of the user when inputting subjective symptoms. The reception unit uses AI to preferentially input highly relevant symptoms in consideration of the geographical location information of the user when inputting subjective symptoms. The geographical location information includes, for example, GPS data, address information, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, when the user is at high altitude, the reception unit preferentially inputs subjective symptoms related to high altitude. In addition, when the user is in an urban area, the reception unit can also preferentially input subjective symptoms related to urban areas. Furthermore, when the user is at the seaside, the reception unit can also preferentially input subjective symptoms related to the seaside. As a result, it is possible to encourage the input of more appropriate subjective symptoms by preferentially inputting highly relevant symptoms in consideration of the geographical location information of the user.

[0041] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and input related symptoms when the subjective symptoms are input. The reception unit uses AI to analyze the user's social media activity and input related symptoms when the subjective symptoms are input. Social media activity includes, for example, the content of the post, the number of likes, comments, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, when the user posts about fatigue on social media, the reception unit preferentially inputs subjective symptoms related to fatigue. In addition, when the user posts about stress on social media, the reception unit can also preferentially input subjective symptoms related to stress. Furthermore, when the user posts about health on social media, the reception unit can also preferentially input subjective symptoms related to health. In this way, the input of related subjective symptoms can be prompted by analyzing the user's social media activity.

[0042] The identification unit can improve the accuracy of identification by referring to the user's past nutritional intake history when identifying nutrients. The identification unit uses AI to improve the accuracy of identification by referring to the user's past nutritional intake history when identifying nutrients. The past nutritional intake history includes, for example, past meal contents, records of nutrients taken, etc., but is not limited to such examples.

[0072] (Example 2) The AI ​​system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that identifies nutrients that may be lacking in the body based on the discomfort or subjective symptoms felt by the user and suggests appropriate meals. In this AI system, the user inputs subjective symptoms, and the AI ​​analyzes the information to identify the nutrients that are lacking and suggests meals. For example, if the user inputs symptoms such as "easily tired," "easily stiff shoulders," and "frequent headaches," the AI ​​identifies that there is a possibility of a deficiency in iron or B vitamins based on the information. Next, the AI ​​suggests meals to supplement the identified nutrients. The suggestions vary depending on where the user eats. For example, if the user eats at a convenience store or chain restaurant, the AI ​​suggests recommended menus in cooperation with menu information. In addition, if the user selects to cook at home, the AI ​​suggests recipes. In addition, the AI ​​provides nutrient information for the suggested meals. For example, details of the nutrients contained in the proposed menus and recipes are displayed so that the user can check which nutrients can be ingested. This allows the user to choose an appropriate meal that matches their physical condition. For example, a user who feels easily tired can reduce fatigue by following the AI's suggestions and eating meals rich in iron and B vitamins. Additionally, users who tend to suffer from stiff shoulders can reduce their stiffness by following the AI's suggestions and eating meals rich in magnesium and vitamin E. This allows the AI ​​system to identify appropriate nutrients and suggest meals based on the user's subjective symptoms.

[0073] The AI ​​system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an identification unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit inputs a subjective symptom of a user.

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. The AI ​​other than the generation AI is, for example, a linear regression, a logistic regression, a decision tree, a random forest, a support vector machine (SVM), a k-means clustering, a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a generative adversarial network (GAN), or a naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to such examples. The AI ​​may be an AI agent. In addition, when the processes of each part described above are performed by an AI, the processes are performed in part or in whole by the AI, but are not limited to such examples. In addition, the processes performed by the AI ​​including the generation AI may be replaced with rule-based processes, and the rule-based processes may be replaced with processes performed by the AI ​​including the generation AI.

[0188] 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.

[0189] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned reception unit, identification unit, suggestion unit, provision unit, linkage unit, and recipe unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the reception unit can input the user's subjective symptoms using the microphone 238 of the robot 414. The identification unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and the AI ​​identifies nutrients based on the subjective symptoms. The suggestion unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and suggests meals based on the identified nutrients. The provision unit displays nutrient information of the proposed meals using, for example, the display of the robot 414. The linkage unit links, for example, with menu information of convenience stores and chain stores via the communication I / F 26 of the data processing device 12. The recipe unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and suggests recipes when home cooking is selected. The correspondence between each unit and the device and control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] These emotions are distributed in the three 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.

[0193] 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 on emotion map 400 you go, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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."

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.

[0203] 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.

[0204] 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.

[0205] 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.

[0206] The above description and illustrations are detailed descriptions of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, function, action, and effect is an example of the configuration, function, action, and effect of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replaced with respect to the description and illustrations shown above, within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. In addition, in order to avoid confusion and to facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the description and illustrations shown above omit explanations of technical common sense that do not require particular explanation in enabling the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
