[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.

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 hairstyle recommendation system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system in which a user inputs a desired hairstyle in natural language and uploads a face photo, and a generation AI generates a 3D model of the hairstyle and reflects it in the image in real time. This system allows the user and the hairdresser to proceed with the treatment with a common understanding. For example, a user inputs a desired hairstyle in natural language and uploads a face photo. The generation AI analyzes the input natural language request and face photo, and generates a 3D model of a hairstyle that is optimal for the user's face. The generated 3D model is reflected in the user's face photo in real time. This allows the user to visually check what hairstyle suits his or her face. Furthermore, the generation AI takes into account the user's facial features and hair type, etc., and recommends the optimal hairstyle. This service allows the user and the hairdresser to have a common understanding, and the desired hairstyle is accurately conveyed, improving the satisfaction of the treatment. In addition, the user can check in advance what hairstyle suits him or her, making communication at the hairdresser smoother. As a result, the hairstyle recommendation system reflects the user's desired hairstyle in real time, and the treatment can be proceeded with a common understanding.

[0029] The hairstyle recommendation system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a reflection unit. The reception unit receives a hairstyle desired by a user. The hairstyle desired by the user includes, for example, length, style, color, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit receives, for example, a user's input of a desired hairstyle in natural language and uploads a face photo. The analysis unit analyzes the face photo based on the information received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the user's facial features and hair type using, for example, a facial feature point extraction method or an analysis algorithm. The generation unit generates a 3D model of a hairstyle based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit using a generation AI. The generation unit generates a 3D model of a hairstyle that is optimal for the user's face using, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM). The generation unit can also generate a 3D model taking into account the user's desired hairstyle. The reflection unit reflects the 3D model generated by the generation unit to the user's face photo in real time. The reflection unit, for example, uses a technology for reflecting the generated 3D model in real time to display the 3D model on the user's facial photograph. As a result, the hairstyle recommendation system according to the embodiment can reflect the user's desired hairstyle in real time and proceed with the treatment with a common understanding. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reflection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reflection unit can display the 3D model on the user's facial photograph using an AI model for reflecting the generated 3D model in real time.

[0030] The reception unit receives the user's desired hairstyle. The user's desired hairstyle includes, but is not limited to, for example, length, style, and color. The reception unit receives, for example, the user's desired hairstyle in natural language and uploads a face photo. Specifically, the user uses a smartphone or a personal computer to access a dedicated application or website and inputs the desired hairstyle in text. For example, a specific request such as "shoulder-length, curled style, light brown" can be input. In addition, the user can upload a face photo to enable the system to recommend hairstyles more accurately. It is recommended that the face photo be taken from the front and that the hair not cover the face. Furthermore, the reception unit can also receive information on hairstyles that the user has tried in the past and the current hairstyle. This allows the system to have a deeper understanding of the user's preferences and hair type and make optimal recommendations. The reception unit centrally manages this information and stores it in a database to provide to the analysis unit and generation unit. This allows information on the user's desired hairstyle to be processed accurately and quickly, improving the efficiency of the entire system.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the face photo based on the information received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the user's facial features and hair type, for example, using a facial feature point extraction method or analysis algorithm. Specifically, feature points such as the facial outline, eyes, nose, and mouth are extracted with high accuracy, and the shape and balance of the user's face are analyzed. This provides basic data for proposing a hairstyle that is optimal for the user's face. In addition, image processing technology is used to analyze the hair type, and information such as hair thickness, density, color, and luster is extracted. This makes it possible to propose a style and coloring that is suitable for the user's hair type. Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit lists hairstyle candidates that are optimal for the user's facial shape and hair type. Furthermore, the analysis unit considers the elements of the user's desired hairstyle (length, style, color, etc.) and selects the optimal hairstyle from the listed candidates. The analysis unit performs these processes in real time and can provide quick feedback to the user. By utilizing AI technology, the analysis unit's processing can be improved in accuracy and speed, thereby increasing user satisfaction.

[0032] The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate a 3D model of a hairstyle based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit uses, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to generate a 3D model of a hairstyle that is optimal for the user's face. Specifically, the generation AI receives information on the user's facial features and hair type as input, and generates a 3D model of the hairstyle based on this. The generation AI has been trained with a large amount of hairstyle data set in advance and has the ability to generate hairstyles of various styles and colorings. For example, in response to a user's request for a "shoulder-length, curled style, light brown" hairstyle, the generation AI generates a 3D model of a hairstyle that matches that request. The generation unit can also generate a 3D model taking into account the user's desired hairstyle. For example, if a user desires a hairstyle similar to that of a particular celebrity, a 3D model can be generated based on that hairstyle. The generation unit can also update the generated 3D model in real time and make fine adjustments based on user feedback. This allows the generation unit to provide a hairstyle that is closest to the user's desire, thereby increasing user satisfaction.

[0033] The reflecting unit reflects the 3D model generated by the generating unit on the user's facial photograph in real time. The reflecting unit, for example, uses a technology for reflecting the generated 3D model in real time to display the 3D model on the user's facial photograph. Specifically, the reflecting unit overlays the generated 3D model of the hairstyle on the user's facial photograph and displays it in real time. This allows the user to intuitively check how the new hairstyle looks on his or her face. The reflecting unit uses a technology for realizing realistic visual effects such as light reflection and shadow expression in displaying the 3D model. This allows the user to obtain an image close to the actual hairstyle. Furthermore, the reflecting unit provides a function for freely rotating the 3D model so that the user can check the hairstyle from different angles. This makes it easier for the user to grasp the overall picture of the hairstyle. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reflecting unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reflecting unit can display the 3D model on the user's facial photograph using an AI model for reflecting the generated 3D model in real time. This allows the reflection unit to reflect the user's desired hairstyle in real time, allowing the treatment to be carried out with a common understanding.

[0034] The analysis unit can analyze the facial features or hair type of the user. The analysis unit analyzes the facial features of the user, for example, using a facial feature point extraction method or analysis algorithm. For example, the analysis unit extracts features such as the position of the eyes, the shape of the nose, and the contour of the face. The analysis unit can also analyze the hair type. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the thickness, hardness, and presence or absence of curls of the hair. This allows a 3D model of a more appropriate hairstyle to be generated by analyzing the facial features and hair type of the user. A 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 extraction of facial feature points into an AI model and analyze the facial features.

[0035] The generation unit can generate a 3D model of a hairstyle suitable for the user's face using the generation AI. The generation unit generates a 3D model of a hairstyle that is optimal for the user's face using, for example, the generation AI. The generation AI generates a 3D model of a hairstyle that is optimal for the user's face using, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM). The generation unit can also generate a 3D model by using the generation AI, taking into account the user's desired hairstyle. For example, the generation AI generates a 3D model by taking into account the length, style, color, etc. of the user's desired hairstyle. In this way, by using the generation AI, a 3D model of a hairstyle that is optimal for the user's face can be generated. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the generation unit can input a user's face photo and information on the desired hairstyle to the generation AI, and generate a 3D model of the hairstyle.

[0036] The reflection unit can reflect the generated 3D model on the user's facial photograph in real time. The reflection unit, for example, uses a technology for reflecting the generated 3D model in real time to display the 3D model on the user's facial photograph. For example, the reflection unit displays the generated 3D model by superimposing it on the user's facial photograph in real time. The reflection unit can also use a technology that minimizes the delay time for displaying the generated 3D model in real time. For example, the reflection unit uses a high-speed rendering technology for displaying the generated 3D model in real time. As a result, by reflecting the generated 3D model in real time, the user can visually check what hairstyle suits his or her face. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reflection unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reflection unit can display the 3D model on the user's facial photograph using an AI model for reflecting the generated 3D model in real time.

[0037] The generation unit can generate a 3D model based on the hairstyle desired by the user. The generation unit generates a 3D model based on the hairstyle desired by the user, for example, using a generation AI. The generation AI generates a 3D model by considering the length, style, color, etc. of the hairstyle desired by the user, for example, using a text generation AI (for example, LLM). The generation unit can also generate a 3D model by considering the hairstyle desired by the user, using the generation AI. For example, the generation AI analyzes detailed requests for the hairstyle desired by the user and generates a 3D model based on the analysis. In this way, a 3D model of a hairstyle with higher satisfaction can be generated by considering the hairstyle desired by the user. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the generation unit can input information on the hairstyle desired by the user to the generation AI and generate a 3D model of the hairstyle.

[0038] The reception unit can analyze the user's past hairstyle history and select an appropriate reception method. The reception unit can, for example, analyze the user's past hairstyle history and automatically display optimal hairstyle candidates. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception unit can predict and suggest hairstyles that match specific seasons or events from the user's past hairstyle history. In this way, by analyzing the past hairstyle history, it is possible to provide the user with an optimal reception method. 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 hairstyle history data into a generation AI and select an optimal reception method.

[0039] The reception unit can perform filtering based on the user's current hairstyle and hair type when receiving a desired hairstyle. The reception unit, for example, automatically recognizes the user's current hairstyle and displays suitable hairstyle candidates based on the recognition. The reception unit can also propose suitable hairstyles in consideration of the user's hair type (straight hair, curly hair, etc.). Furthermore, the reception unit can filter and display feasible hairstyles based on the user's hair length and volume. As a result, feasible hairstyles can be proposed by filtering based on the current hairstyle and hair type. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input data on the user's current hairstyle and hair type to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform filtering.

For example, the reflection unit can display the 3D model on the user's facial photograph using an AI model for reflecting the generated 3D model in real time.

[0065] The reception unit receives the user's desired hairstyle. The user's desired hairstyle includes, but is not limited to, for example, length, style, and color. The reception unit receives, for example, the user's desired hairstyle in natural language and uploads a face photo. Specifically, the user uses a smartphone or a personal computer to access a dedicated application or website and inputs the desired hairstyle in text. For example, a specific request such as "shoulder-length, curled style, light brown" can be input. In addition, the user can upload a face photo to enable the system to recommend hairstyles more accurately. It is recommended that the face photo be taken from the front and that the hair not cover the face. Furthermore, the reception unit can also receive information on hairstyles that the user has tried in the past and the current hairstyle. This allows the system to have a deeper understanding of the user's preferences and hair type and make optimal recommendations. The reception unit centrally manages this information and stores it in a database to provide to the analysis unit and generation unit. This allows information on the user's desired hairstyle to be processed accurately and quickly, improving the efficiency of the entire system.

[0066] The analysis unit analyzes the face photo based on the information received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the user's facial features and hair type, for example, using a facial feature point extraction method or analysis algorithm. Specifically, feature points such as the facial outline, eyes, nose, and mouth are extracted with high accuracy, and the shape and balance of the user's face are analyzed. This provides basic data for proposing a hairstyle that is optimal for the user's face. In addition, image processing technology is used to analyze the hair type, and information such as hair thickness, density, color, and luster is extracted. This makes it possible to propose a style and coloring that is suitable for the user's hair type. Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit lists hairstyle candidates that are optimal for the user's facial shape and hair type. Furthermore, the analysis unit considers the elements of the user's desired hairstyle (length, style, color, etc.) and selects the optimal hairstyle from the listed candidates.

The generation AI has been trained with a large amount of hairstyle data set in advance and has the ability to generate hairstyles of various styles and colorings. For example, in response to a user's request for a "shoulder-length, curled style, light brown" hairstyle, the generation AI generates a 3D model of a hairstyle that matches that request. The generation unit can also generate a 3D model taking into account the user's desired hairstyle. For example, if a user desires a hairstyle similar to that of a particular celebrity, a 3D model can be generated based on that hairstyle. The generation unit can also update the generated 3D model in real time and make fine adjustments based on user feedback. This allows the generation unit to provide a hairstyle that is closest to the user's desire, thereby increasing user satisfaction.

[0158] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. In addition, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (such as a mobile phone, a robot, or a home appliance) owned by a user.

[0159] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing.

The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating a voice, text data indicating a text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data) is input.

[0161] 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.

[0162] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and reflection 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 microphone 238 of the robot 414, and accepts the user's input of a desired hairstyle in natural language and upload of a face photo. The analysis unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the user's facial features and hair type using a facial feature point extraction method and analysis algorithm. The generation unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and generates a 3D model of the hairstyle using a generation AI. The reflection unit is realized, for example, by the control target 443 of the robot 414, and reflects the generated 3D model on the user's face photo in real time. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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).

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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."

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.
