The suggestion unit can also suggest a menu while interacting with the customer using an AI chatbot. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can estimate the customer's current health and psychological state and suggest a menu based on that. Specifically, the generation AI receives the customer's food allergies and preferences as input, and generates an optimal menu while referring to past data and a recipe database. For example, if the customer has a dairy allergy, the generation AI suggests a menu that does not contain dairy products. Also, if the customer likes spicy food, the generation AI preferentially suggests spicy dishes. The AI ​​chatbot uses natural language processing technology to interact with the customer and suggest menus in real time. For example, if the customer inputs, "I want to have a light meal today," the AI ​​chatbot suggests menus such as light meals and salads. Furthermore, the suggestion unit utilizes sensor data from wearable devices and smartphones to estimate the health and psychological state of the customer. For example, it can monitor the heart rate and stress level and suggest a menu that includes ingredients that have a relaxing effect based on the monitoring.

For example, if the customer is relaxed, detailed order and payment processing can be prioritized. Also, if the customer is stressed, basic order and payment processing can be prioritized. In this way, by determining the priority based on the customer's emotions, more important processing can be prioritized. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the processing unit is performed using the generation AI.

[0118] The processing unit can select the optimal processing method in consideration of the geographical location information of the customer when processing the order and payment. The processing unit can acquire the geographical location information of the customer, for example, by using the customer's GPS information or Wi-Fi location information. Based on the location information, the processing unit selects the optimal processing method for the customer. For example, if the customer is in a specific area, the processing unit can preferentially suggest a payment method for that area. Also, if the customer is traveling, the processing unit can preferentially suggest a payment method for the travel destination. In this way, by taking the geographical location information into consideration, the payment processing can be performed in a more appropriate manner. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the processing unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the processing unit can input the location information into AI and have the AI ​​select the processing method.

[0119] The processing unit can analyze the social media activity of the customer and suggest a processing method at the time of order and payment processing. The processing unit can, for example, analyze the social media activity of the customer and suggest the optimal payment processing based on the information. Social media activity includes, for example, the content of posts, the number of likes, comments, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The processing unit analyzes the payment method shared by the customer on social media and suggests the optimal payment processing. For example, the processing unit can suggest the optimal payment processing based on the payment method mentioned by the customer on social media. In addition, the processing unit can analyze the payment-related accounts that the customer follows on social media and suggest the optimal payment processing. In this way, by analyzing the social media activity, the optimal payment processing can be suggested based on more information. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the processing unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the processing unit can input social media data into AI and have the AI ​​perform analysis of the information.

[0120] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0121] The order support AI assistant system can further include a nutritional evaluation unit that evaluates the nutritional balance of a customer's meal. The nutritional evaluation unit evaluates the nutritional balance based on the customer's meal history and health check results, and provides the information to the proposal unit. For example, if a customer has not eaten many vegetables in the past, the nutritional evaluation unit can provide that information to the proposal unit, and the proposal unit can suggest a menu that contains a lot of vegetables. In addition, if a customer has been consuming excessive amounts of a particular nutrient, a balanced menu can be suggested based on that information. This makes it possible to suggest menus that take the customer's health into consideration.

[0122] The order support AI assistant system can further include a satisfaction evaluation unit that evaluates the customer's satisfaction with the meal. The satisfaction evaluation unit analyzes the customer's past feedback and reviews and provides the information to the suggestion unit. For example, it can suggest similar menu items based on menu items that the customer has given high ratings in the past. It can also suggest that the customer avoid menu items that the customer has given low ratings. This makes it possible to suggest menu items that will improve customer satisfaction.

[0123] The order support AI assistant system can further include an environmental evaluation unit that evaluates the environmental impact of the customer's meal. The environmental evaluation unit evaluates the production process and transportation distance of the ingredients of the menu to be proposed, and provides environmentally friendly menus to the proposal unit. For example, it can preferentially propose menus that use locally produced ingredients. In addition, it is also possible to reduce the environmental impact by proposing menus that use seasonal ingredients. This makes it possible to propose environmentally friendly menus.

[0124] The order support AI assistant system can further include a cultural evaluation unit that considers the cultural background of the customer's meal. The cultural evaluation unit considers the customer's cultural background and religious restrictions and provides the information to the suggestion unit. For example, it can suggest menus that take into account dietary restrictions based on a particular religion. It can also improve cultural satisfaction by suggesting traditional dishes from the customer's hometown. This makes it possible to suggest menus that take into account the customer's cultural background.

[0125] The order support AI assistant system can further include an economic evaluation unit that considers the economic background of the customer's meal. The economic evaluation unit analyzes the customer's budget and spending history and provides the information to the suggestion unit. For example, it can suggest the optimal menu within the customer's budget. It can also reduce the financial burden by suggesting a menu that takes into account certain promotions and discounts. This makes it possible to suggest menus that take into account the customer's economic background.

[0126] The suggestion unit can analyze the customer's emotions and adjust the timing of menu suggestions based on the analyzed customer's emotions. For example, if the customer is relaxed, a menu can be suggested before the meal. Also, if the customer is stressed, a menu can be suggested after the meal. This makes it possible to suggest menus at appropriate times based on the customer's emotions.

[0127] The suggestion unit can analyze the customer's emotions and adjust the contents of the menu suggestion based on the analyzed customer's emotions. For example, if the customer is relaxed, a menu suggestion including detailed explanations can be made. On the other hand, if the customer is stressed, a menu suggestion that is simple and to the point can be made. In this way, by adjusting the contents of the menu suggestion based on the customer's emotions, more appropriate suggestions can be made.

[0128] The suggestion unit can analyze the customer's emotions and adjust the format of the menu suggestions based on the analyzed customer's emotions. For example, if the customer is relaxed, a menu suggestion that makes extensive use of visuals can be made. On the other hand, if the customer is stressed, a simple menu suggestion that is mainly text can be made. In this way, by adjusting the format of the menu suggestion based on the customer's emotions, more appropriate suggestions can be made.

[0129] The suggestion unit can analyze the customer's emotions and adjust the frequency of menu suggestions based on the analyzed customer's emotions. For example, if the customer is relaxed, menu suggestions can be made more frequently. Also, if the customer is stressed, the frequency of suggestions can be reduced. In this way, by adjusting the frequency of menu suggestions based on the customer's emotions, more appropriate suggestions can be made.

[0130] The suggestion unit can analyze the customer's emotions and adjust the tone of the menu suggestions based on the analyzed customer's emotions. For example, if the customer is relaxed, the menu can be suggested in a friendly and casual tone. On the other hand, if the customer is stressed, the menu can be suggested in a formal and calm tone. In this way, by adjusting the tone of the menu suggestions based on the customer's emotions, more appropriate suggestions can be made.

[0131] The process flow of the second embodiment will be briefly described below.

[0132] Step 1: The collection department collects information on the customer's food allergies and preferences. The customer's food allergy and preference information includes specific ingredients, cooking methods, taste preferences, etc. The collection department collects information through the customer's smartphone application and SNS account. Step 2: The suggestion unit proposes a menu based on the information collected by the collection unit. Using a generation AI (e.g., a text generation AI or an AI chatbot), the unit proposes the optimal menu based on the customer's food allergies and preferences. It is also possible to estimate the customer's current health and psychological state and propose a menu based on that. Step 3: The acquisition unit acquires past order history and trends. The acquisition unit acquires the customer's past order history and trends using database access or API calls. Step 4: The introduction unit introduces new menus and promotions to the customer based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit. The introduction unit introduces the new menus and promotions to the customer using a notification method and a display format. Step 5: The processor processes customer orders and payments. The processor processes payments using blockchain technology (e.g., Ethereum or Hyperledger). It can also prepare customer orders in advance using predictive models (e.g., regression models or time series forecasting models).

[0133] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing.

The control unit 46A transmits the voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0134] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network.

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 specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification processing while using the data generation model 58. 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. 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 also be an AI agent. In addition, when the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts 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, processing performed by AI including the generation AI may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI including the generation AI.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0169] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0170] 7, a data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0171] 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 and / or a LAN.

[0172] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. 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. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0173] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs the voice according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0174] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, an aperture, and a shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (e.g., an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the width of the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0175] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is performed in a secure state.

[0176] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors for driving the arms, hands, and legs. The posture and behavior of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and legs. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0177] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, 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.

[0178] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32, and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0179] 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.

[0180] In the robot 414, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads out the specific program 60 from the storage 50, and executes the specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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 microphone 238 acquires a voice indicating a user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0183] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. 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. The data generation model 58 infers the input inference data according to the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats of voice data, text data, and image data. 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 specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification processing while using the data generation model 58. 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. 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] For example, the collection unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the suggestion unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the acquisition unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the introduction unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the processing unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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).

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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."

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.
