Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) A makeup advice system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that diagnoses the facial bone structure and personal color by holding a camera over the user, and provides real-time guidance on the current makeup color and application method. In the makeup advice system, a user holds a camera over their face, and an AI analyzes the image captured by the camera and diagnoses the facial bone structure and personal color. Furthermore, the AI ​​analyzes the current makeup color and application method and provides appropriate guidance in real time. For example, a user holds a camera over their face. At this time, the camera captures the entire face of the user. For example, a smartphone camera is used to capture a photo of the user's face. This image is input to the AI. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the input image and diagnoses the facial bone structure and personal color. The AI ​​analyzes the shape and color tone of the face and identifies the user's bone structure and personal color. For example, the AI ​​analyzes the facial contour and skin color to diagnose the user's bone structure type and personal color. Furthermore, the AI ​​analyzes the current makeup color and application method and provides appropriate guidance in real time. The AI ​​analyzes the makeup color and application method and provides the user with suggestions for improvement. For example, if the color of lipstick does not match the user's personal color, the AI ​​will suggest changing the color. Also, if the way eyeshadow is applied is inappropriate, it will suggest the appropriate way to apply it. This system allows users to receive makeup advice in real time based on their facial structure and personal color. This makes it possible to apply makeup that suits them better, improving the quality of their makeup. This allows the makeup advice system to diagnose the user's facial structure and personal color, and provide advice on the color and application of makeup in real time.

[0029] The makeup advice system according to the embodiment includes an acquisition unit, a diagnosis unit, an analysis unit, and a suggestion unit. The acquisition unit acquires an image of the user's face. The image of the user's face includes, but is not limited to, an image acquired using a smartphone camera. The acquisition unit can, for example, take a picture of the user's face using a smartphone camera and acquire the image. The acquisition unit can also acquire an image of the user's face using a digital camera or a webcam. The diagnosis unit analyzes the image acquired by the acquisition unit and diagnoses the facial bone structure and personal color. The diagnosis unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the shape and color tone of the face and identifies the user's bone structure and personal color. For example, the diagnosis unit can analyze the facial contour and skin color to diagnose the user's bone structure type and personal color. The analysis unit analyzes the current makeup color and application method based on the result diagnosed by the diagnosis unit. The analysis unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the makeup color and application method and suggests improvements to the user. For example, the analysis unit can suggest that the color of the lipstick should be changed if the color of the lipstick does not match the personal color. Also, the analysis unit can suggest an appropriate application method if the method of applying eyeshadow is inappropriate. The suggestion unit makes appropriate suggestions based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. The suggestion unit can, for example, use AI to suggest improvements to the makeup and provide appropriate advice to the user. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest that the color of the lipstick should be changed if the color of the lipstick does not match the personal color. Also, the suggestion unit can suggest an appropriate application method if the method of applying eyeshadow is inappropriate. As a result, the makeup advice system according to the embodiment can diagnose the facial structure and personal color of the user and suggest the color and application method of the makeup in real time.

[0030] The acquisition unit acquires an image of the user's face. The image of the user's face includes, for example, an image acquired using a smartphone camera, but is not limited to such an example. The acquisition unit can, for example, photograph the user's face using a smartphone camera and acquire the image. The acquisition unit can also acquire an image of the user's face using a digital camera or a webcam. Specifically, when using a smartphone camera, the user starts a dedicated application and follows a guide to photograph images from multiple angles, such as the front, left and right sides, and an angle from above. This allows the acquisition unit to collect detailed information about the user's face. Similarly, when using a digital camera or a webcam, images are acquired from multiple angles using dedicated software, and these images are uploaded to a cloud server. The acquisition unit centrally manages these images and allows the analysis unit and diagnosis unit to access them. Furthermore, the acquisition unit also has a function of automatically checking the resolution and quality of the image and prompting re-imaging as necessary. This allows the acquisition unit to secure high-quality image data and improve the accuracy of the entire system.

[0031] The diagnosis unit analyzes the image acquired by the acquisition unit and diagnoses the facial bone structure and personal color. For example, the diagnosis unit uses AI to analyze the shape and color tone of the face and identify the user's bone structure and personal color. Specifically, the AI ​​uses deep learning technology to extract feature points such as the facial outline, eyes, nose, and mouth, and classifies the facial bone structure type based on these feature points. For example, if the face outline is round, it is classified as "round type", and if the chin is pointed, it is classified as "heart type". In addition, for diagnosing personal colors, skin color, eye color, hair color, etc. are analyzed and classified into four seasonal types: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Based on this information, the diagnosis unit generates basic data for suggesting the color and style of makeup that is optimal for the user. Furthermore, the diagnosis unit can learn from past diagnosis results and user feedback to continuously improve the accuracy of the diagnosis. For example, it analyzes before and after images of makeup provided by the user and verifies the accuracy of the diagnosis results. In addition, the diagnosis unit is equipped with a correction algorithm to perform diagnosis with high accuracy even under different lighting conditions and backgrounds. This enables the diagnostic unit to provide consistent diagnostic results even in diverse environments, thereby gaining the trust of users.

[0032] The analysis unit analyzes the current color and application of makeup based on the results of the diagnosis by the diagnosis unit. The analysis unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the color and application of makeup and points out areas for improvement to the user. Specifically, the AI ​​uses image recognition technology to detect each part of makeup (lipstick, eyeshadow, cheeks, etc.) from an image of the user's face and analyzes the color and application of each part. For example, if the color of the lipstick does not match the personal color, it can suggest that the color be changed. Also, if the way eyeshadow is applied is inappropriate, it can suggest an appropriate way to apply it. The analysis unit evaluates whether the color of the makeup is in harmony with the skin color and eye color based on the image of the user's face, and suggests changing the color if necessary. Furthermore, the analysis unit evaluates whether the way the makeup is applied matches the facial structure, and can suggest, for example, a way to apply eyeshadow to emphasize the eyes and a shading method to make the face look smaller. Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit presents specific areas for improvement to the user and supports the improvement of makeup skills. The analysis unit can also refer to the user's past makeup history and suggest makeup according to trends and seasons. This allows the analysis unit to always provide the user with the latest makeup information and give advice tailored to individual needs.

[0033] The suggestion unit gives appropriate suggestions based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. The suggestion unit, for example, uses AI to suggest areas for improvement in makeup and provides appropriate advice to the user. Specifically, if the lip color does not match the personal color, the suggestion unit can suggest a change in the color. In addition, if the eyeshadow application method is inappropriate, the suggestion unit can also suggest an appropriate application method. The suggestion unit provides specific advice to the user based on the data provided by the analysis unit. For example, when changing the lip color, the suggestion unit suggests a specific color name and brand, making it easy for the user to carry out. In addition, for how to apply eyeshadow, the suggestion unit provides a step-by-step guide so that the user can accurately reproduce it. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the advice. For example, the suggestion unit analyzes before-and-after images provided by the user and evaluates the effectiveness of the advice. In addition, the suggestion unit can provide customized advice according to the user's preferences and lifestyle. For example, the suggestion unit takes into account the difference between work makeup and private makeup and provides appropriate advice for each. As a result, the suggestion unit can provide specific and practical advice to the user and support the improvement of makeup skills.

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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned acquisition unit, diagnosis unit, analysis unit, and indication unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the acquisition unit acquires an image of the user's face using the camera 42 of the robot 414. The diagnosis unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, analyzes the acquired image, and diagnoses the facial bone structure and personal color. The analysis unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the current color and application method of makeup based on the diagnosis result. The indication unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and makes appropriate indications based on the analysis result. The acquisition unit is also realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the timing of image acquisition. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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).

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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."

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

Each processor has a built-in or connected memory, and each processor executes the specific process by using the memory.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.
