In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0040] The present invention is a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, dietary preferences, etc., creates an individual profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[0041] 1. Collection of User Information
[0042] Terminal
[0043] A user accesses the system using a terminal and inputs information about their body type (e.g., height and weight), amount of exercise (e.g., daily exercise habits), health condition (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking style). This information is sent to the server as basic data for creating an individual profile of the user.
[0044] 2. Create a user profile
[0045] server
[0046] The server receives the user information sent from the terminal, stores it in a database, and then automatically generates an individual profile for each user based on this information.
[0047] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[0048] server
[0049] Based on the user's profile, the server generates an optimal meal plan taking into account the user's daily activity level. Specifically, the user's input information is converted into tensor format and fed into an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The AI model processes the information and predicts the optimal meal plan.
[0050] The generated meal plan is based on the user's activity level, health status, allergies, food preferences, etc. For example, if a user has diabetes, a low-carb, nutritionally balanced menu will be suggested. Also, if a user prefers Japanese food, a menu centered on Japanese cuisine will be provided.
[0051] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[0052] Terminal
[0053] The meal plan generated by the server is sent to the user's device, where the user can review it. The user tries out the proposed meal plan and then inputs their impressions and ratings as feedback.
[0054] 5. Feedback learning and model refinement
[0055] server
[0056] The collected feedback is stored in a database, and the server uses this feedback data to retrain the AI model and improve its next suggestions to better suit the user's preferences.
[0057] Specific examples
[0058] Example user:
[0059] Age: 30
[0060] Weight: 70kg
[0061] Height: 175cm
[0062] Activity level: High
[0063] Health condition: Diabetes
[0064] Allergies: Dairy
[0065] Food preference: Japanese food
[0066] 1. Collection of User Information
[0067] The user inputs the above information from the terminal and transmits it to the server.
[0068] 2. Create a user profile
[0069] The server uses this information to generate individual profiles and stores them in a database.
[0070] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[0071] Based on this profile, the server generates a menu centered on Japanese cuisine that is low in carbohydrates and does not contain dairy products, and sends it to the user's device.
[0072] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[0073] The user reviews the proposed meal plan, tries it out, and then enters feedback via the device.
[0074] 5. Feedback learning and model refinement
[0075] The server adds the collected feedback to the dataset and retrains the AI model, a process that improves future recommendations to better suit the user's preferences and health status.
[0076] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0077] Step 1: Enter your user information
[0078] Users access the system from their terminals and input their body type (height, weight, etc.), amount of exercise (frequency, duration, etc.), health condition (medical history, allergies, etc.), and food preferences (favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The terminals then send this information to the server.
[0079] Step 2: Save user information
[0080] The server stores the user information received from the terminal in a database, and through this storage process, an individual profile of each user is recorded in the database.
[0081] Step 3: Creating a User Profile
[0082] The server uses the information in the database to generate an individual profile for each user, which is then stored in the database again. The user profile includes information about body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences that users have entered.
[0083] Step 4: Generate a meal plan
[0084] The server generates an optimal meal plan using an AI model based on the user's profile. Specifically, the server converts the user's information into tensor format and inputs it into the AI model to predict the meal plan. The AI model then uses the stored data to create the optimal menu for the user.
[0085] Step 5: Submit your meal plan
[0086] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's terminal, where the user can view the proposed meal plan.
[0087] Step 6: Provide feedback
[0088] The user actually tries out the proposed meal plan and inputs feedback on the results. The terminal sends the user's feedback information to the server.
[0089] Step 7: Save your feedback
[0090] The server stores the feedback information received from the device in a database, and also adds this feedback information to the training dataset.
[0091] Step 8: Retraining the AI model
[0092] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the AI model, making its next suggestions more accurate and tailored to the user's preferences.
[0093] Step 9: Provide an improved meal plan
[0094] Using the retrained AI model, the server again generates and serves the optimal meal plan to the user, which in turn provides an improved meal plan that incorporates user feedback.
[0095] Example 1
[0096] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0097] In modern society, it is important to provide meal plans tailored to an individual's health status and lifestyle. However, conventional systems have had difficulty in properly collecting a wide range of user information (e.g., body shape, health status, food preferences, etc.) and providing meal plans tailored to individual needs. Furthermore, there were insufficient means to effectively utilize user feedback and improve future proposals. This resulted in a decline in user satisfaction.
[0098] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0099] In this invention, the server includes means for sending collected user information to the server in JSON format, means for saving user information in a database and generating a profile for each user, and means for converting the user profile into tensor format and inputting it into an AI model to generate an optimal meal plan. This enables the generation of a customized meal plan based on detailed user information, and by continuously incorporating user feedback, it is possible to improve the accuracy and satisfaction of subsequent suggestions.

[0102] A "server" is a computer system that receives, stores, processes, and analyzes collected user information.
[0103] A "database" is a data structure for storing and managing collected user information and feedback information.
[0104] A "profile" is a collection of individual information about each user that is generated based on collected user information.
[0105] An "AI model" is a mathematical model that uses artificial intelligence technology to analyze data and perform specific tasks.
[0106] "Tensor format" is user information converted into a multidimensional array format, and is used when inputting it into an AI model.
[0107] A "meal plan" is a meal suggestion tailored to a user, generated based on the user's profile.
[0108] "Feedback" refers to the impressions and ratings provided by users after trying the suggested meal plan.
[0109] "Retraining" is the process of updating an existing AI model with new feedback data collected to improve its accuracy.
[0110] "JSON format" is an abbreviation for JavaScript Object Notation, and is a lightweight data exchange format that represents data in text format and is used for data exchange.
[0111] The "HTTPS protocol" is an abbreviation for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, a protocol for encrypting internet communications to send and receive data safely.
[0112] The present invention is a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, dietary preferences, etc., creates an individual profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[0113] 1. Collection of User Information

[0115] Users access the system using a terminal and enter their body type information (e.g., height and weight), amount of exercise (e.g., daily exercise habits), health condition (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking style). This information is sent to the server as the basis for creating an individual profile of the user. The information is packaged in JSON format and sent using the HTTPS protocol.
[0116] 2. Create a user profile
[0117] server
[0118] The server receives and parses user information in JSON format sent from the device. The collected information is stored in a database, and a profile for each user is generated based on this information. The database software used is a standard SQL database (e.g., MySQL or PostgreSQL).
[0119] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[0120] server
[0121] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on each user's profile. The user profile information is converted into tensor format and input into an AI model using a deep learning library such as TensorFlow. The AI model analyzes the user information and predicts the optimal meal plan for each user. For example, if a user has diabetes, a low-carb, nutritionally balanced menu will be suggested, and if a user prefers Japanese food, a menu centered on Japanese cuisine will be generated.
[0122] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[0123] Terminal
[0124] The generated meal plan is sent to the user's device, where the user can review it. The user can try out the proposed meal plan and then enter their impressions and ratings as feedback. The feedback is again packaged in JSON format and sent to the server using the HTTPS protocol.
[0125] 5. Feedback learning and model refinement
[0126] server
[0127] The server stores the collected feedback in a database and retrains the AI model. The retraining process is carried out using the new feedback data collected, allowing the system's suggestions to better meet the user's needs in the future.

[0198] (Application example 1)
[0199] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0200] In modern society, there is a demand for systems that propose optimal meal plans based on an individual's health status and preferences and enable delivery orders. However, conventional systems are unable to fully utilize user information and feedback, making it difficult to provide highly accurate meal plans to individual users. Furthermore, the process for reflecting feedback and improving the next proposal is insufficient. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a system that enables the provision of personalized, healthy meal plans and the rapid delivery order of such plans.
[0201] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.
[0202] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and dietary preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, and means for proposing an optimal meal plan based on the user's activity level for that day and enabling immediate delivery ordering. This allows users to easily obtain a meal plan tailored to their health condition and preferences and quickly order delivery of the plan.
[0203] The system also maintains a database of suggested meal plans, generates meal plans using this database, and uses them for delivery orders, enabling efficient suggestions. Furthermore, feedback information is stored in a dataset, which can be used to retrain the generative AI model, and prompts can be used to refine the next meal plan suggestions, enabling suggestions that are more tailored to each user's preferences.
[0204] "Information regarding the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences" refers to data regarding weight, height, exercise habits, medical history, allergies, and food preferences entered by the user.
[0205] An "individual profile" is a collection of information customized for each user that is generated based on collected user information.
[0206] The "activity level for that day" is data relating to the amount of exercise and work intensity of the user for that day.
[0207] The "optimal meal plan" is a meal menu suggestion that is suitable for the user's health condition and food preferences, generated by AI based on the user's profile.
[0208] A "delivery order" is a request for a service to actually cook and deliver the proposed meal plan.
[0209] "Feedback" refers to a user providing feedback or rating on the meal they received.
[0210] A "dataset" is a collection of large amounts of data, including feedback information.
[0211] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence system that is trained to use large amounts of data to generate optimal meal plans.
[0212] A "prompt" is a textual instruction or data entry statement that is input into an AI model.
[0213] This invention relates to a system that proposes personalized meal plans and allows users to instantly order delivery. The system collects information about the user's body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences, generates a profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Furthermore, the system collects feedback about the proposed meal plans and reflects that feedback in the AI model to improve it.
[0214] 1. System Program
[0215] This system is primarily composed of a smartphone, a server, and a generative AI model. Users enter their information using their smartphone, and the data is sent to the server. The server creates an individual profile based on the received information, and the generative AI model generates an optimal meal plan. The generated meal plan is sent to the user's smartphone, allowing them to order delivery.
[0216] 2. Data processing and calculation
[0217] The smartphone application converts the user's input data into an appropriate format to facilitate sending it to the server. The server receives this data and stores it in a database. It also converts the data into tensor format for input to the generative AI model. The generative AI model is built using TensorFlow and processes the user's profile data to generate an optimal meal plan. Furthermore, feedback data from the user is stored on the server and used to retrain the AI model and improve the accuracy of the next meal plan.
[0218] 3. Specific Examples
[0219] For example, consider a 30-year-old user who is 175 cm tall, weighs 70 kg, has a high activity level, and suffers from diabetes and a dairy allergy. If the user prefers Japanese food, the user first enters this information into a smartphone application. The server generates a profile based on the user information, and the generated AI model proposes a low-carb, dairy-free Japanese meal plan. This proposal is immediately sent to the smartphone, allowing the user to place a delivery order.
[0220] Additionally, after trying a meal, users can provide feedback, such as their impressions and ratings, which the server will collect and use to improve its suggestions for the next time.
[0221] 4. Examples of prompts
[0222] User Profile
[0223] Age: 30
[0224] Weight: 70kg
[0225] Height: 175cm
[0226] Activity level: High
[0227] Health Condition: Diabetes
[0228] Allergies: Dairy
[0229] Food preference: Japanese food
[0230] Based on the user profile above, please suggest the best low-carb, dairy-free Japanese meal menu.
[0231] In this way, the system not only proposes optimal meal plans tailored to the user's health condition and preferences, but also allows for quick delivery orders, allowing users to easily obtain healthy meals.
[0232] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0233] Step 1:
[0234] Users use their smartphones to input information about their body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, etc. Input data includes age, weight, height, exercise habits, medical history, allergies, favorite dishes, etc. The input data is temporarily stored on the device and then sent to the server.
[0235] Input data: User's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences
[0236] Output data: User profile information sent to the server
[0237] Step 2:
[0238] The server receives the user information sent from the device and stores it in a database. At this time, it organizes various data (body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences) and creates a user profile for centralized management.
[0239] Input data: User profile information
[0240] Output data: User profile stored in a database
[0241] Step 3:
[0242] The server converts the collected user profile information into tensor format and inputs it into a generative AI model. The AI model is built using TensorFlow and generates an optimal meal plan based on the user's profile data. The generated meal plan is returned to the server via an API.
[0243] Input data: User profile information in tensor format
[0244] Output: Generated meal plan
[0245] Step 4:
[0246] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's smartphone terminal.
[0247] Input data: Generated meal plan
[0248] Output data: Meal plan displayed on a smartphone
[0249] Step 5:
[0250] The user checks the proposed meal plans on their smartphone, selects the one they like, and places a delivery order. The order information is sent to a server and linked to the restaurant or delivery service.
[0251] Input data: User order information
[0252] Output data: Order request to delivery service
[0253] Step 6:
[0254] After receiving the meal, the user inputs their impressions and evaluation of the meal as feedback into their smartphone, and this feedback data is sent to the server.
[0255] Input data: User feedback on meals
[0256] Output data: Feedback data sent to the server
[0257] Step 7:
[0258] The server stores the collected feedback information in a dataset and uses it to retrain the generative AI model, resulting in more accurate meal plan suggestions for the next time.
[0259] Input data: Feedback data
[0260] Output data: Improved generative AI model
[0261] This is the flow of processing in the program for the system that realizes the application example. At each processing step, specific data processing and calculations are performed, and the system evolves step by step.
[0262] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0263] The present invention is a system that combines an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions to collect information such as a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, create an individual profile based on that information, and propose an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[0264] 1. Collection of User Information
[0265] Terminal
[0266] A user accesses the system using a terminal and inputs their body type information (e.g., height and weight), amount of exercise (e.g., daily exercise habits), health condition (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The input information is sent from the terminal to the server.
[0267] 2. Emotional Recognition
[0268] Terminal
[0269] The device is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions.

[0273] 4. Generate a meal plan
[0274] server
[0275] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on the user's profile, activity level for that day, and emotional state. The server converts the user's information into tensor format and inputs it into an AI model. The AI model predicts the optimal meal plan based on a combination of the user's body type, exercise level, health status, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state.
[0276] 5. Meal plan offerings
[0277] Terminal
[0278] The server generates an optimal meal plan, which is then sent to the user's device, where the user can view it. Depending on the user's emotional state, the suggested meal plan may include ingredients and dishes that match the user's mood.
[0279] 6. Providing Feedback
[0280] User
[0281] After trying the proposed meal plan, the user inputs their impressions and evaluations as feedback, and the device sends this feedback information to the server.
[0282] 7. Saving Feedback
[0283] server
[0284] The server stores the feedback information received from the device in a database, and also adds this feedback information to the training dataset.
[0285] 8. Retraining AI models
[0286] server
[0287] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the AI model, making its next suggestions more accurate and tailored to the user's preferences.
[0288] Specific examples
[0289] Example user:
[0290] Age: 30
[0291] Weight: 70kg
[0292] Height: 175cm
[0293] Activity level: High
[0294] Health condition: Diabetes
[0295] Allergies: Dairy
[0296] Food preference: Japanese food
[0297] Emotional state: Feeling stressed
[0298] 1. Collection of User Information
[0299] The user inputs the above information from the terminal and transmits it to the server.
[0300] 2. Emotional Recognition
[0301] The device analyzes the user's voice and facial expression and determines that the user is feeling stressed.
[0302] 3. Create a user profile
[0303] The server generates an individual profile based on this information and stores it in a database.
[0304] 4. Generate a meal plan
[0305] Based on this profile, the server generates a menu that is low in carbohydrates, dairy-free, mainly Japanese food, and includes ingredients that reduce stress, and sends it to the user's device.
[0306] 5. Meal plan offerings
[0307] The user reviews the proposed meal plan on the device.
[0308] 6. Providing Feedback
[0309] Users enter feedback about the meal plan they tried, such as "I felt relaxed," and send it to the server via their device.
[0310] 7. Saving Feedback
[0311] The server stores the collected feedback in a database and adds it to the training dataset.
[0312] 8. Retraining AI models
[0313] The server uses the feedback data to retrain the AI model and incorporates the feedback into its next suggestions.
[0314] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0315] Step 1: Enter your user information
[0316] Users access the system from their terminals and input their body type (height, weight, etc.), amount of exercise (frequency, duration, etc.), health condition (medical history, allergies, etc.), and food preferences (favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The input information is sent from the terminal to the server.
[0317] Step 2: Recognizing user emotions
[0318] The device uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's voice and facial expressions to recognize their emotional state. For example, when a user interacts with the system via voice input or a camera, the device analyzes their voice tone and facial movements to determine whether they are feeling stressed.
[0319] Step 3: Creating a User Profile
[0320] The server generates an individual profile based on the user information and emotional state received from the device, and the generated profile is stored in a database.
[0321] Step 4: Generate a meal plan
[0322] The server uses an AI model to generate an optimal meal plan, taking into account the user's profile, activity level, and emotional state. Specifically, the server converts user information into tensor format and inputs it into the AI model to predict the meal plan. The AI model generates the optimal menu based on a combination of data such as body type information, exercise volume, health status, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state.
[0323] Step 5: Submit your meal plan
[0324] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's device, where the user can view the proposed meal plan.
[0325] Step 6: Provide feedback
[0326] The user tries out the proposed meal plan and inputs feedback on the results, which is then sent to the server by the device.
[0327] Step 7: Save your feedback
[0328] The server stores the feedback information received from the devices in a database, and also adds this feedback information to a dataset for later retraining the model.
[0329] Step 8: Retraining the AI model
[0330] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the AI model, making its next suggestions more accurate and tailored to the user's preferences.
[0331] Step 9: Provide an improved meal plan
[0332] Using the retrained AI model, the server again generates and provides the optimal meal plan to the user. The improved meal plan reflects the user's feedback. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, a menu containing foods that will reduce stress will be provided.
[0333] Example 2
[0334] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0335] Conventional meal plan suggestion systems provide meal plans based on basic information such as the user's body type and health condition, but do not take into account the user's emotional state. As a result, they are unable to provide meal plans that are adapted to the user's mood and emotions, which can lead to a decrease in user satisfaction. Furthermore, improvements to the model based on feedback are not made quickly, which can delay improvements in suggestion accuracy.
[0336] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0337] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, means for proposing a meal plan based on the user's activity level and emotional state for that day, means for recognizing the user's emotional state using an emotion recognition engine installed in the terminal, means for learning from the user's feedback and improving the next proposal, means for saving the feedback information, and means for retraining the AI model using the saved feedback information. This makes it possible to provide an optimal meal plan that takes the user's emotional state into consideration and to quickly improve the model.
[0338] "User information" refers to personal information such as the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences.
[0339] A "profile" is a data set specific to an individual user that is generated based on collected user information.

[0341] "Emotional state" is information that indicates the user's emotional or mood state, and is recognized from voice and facial expressions.
[0342] A "meal plan" is a menu of meals suggested based on user information, activity level, and emotional state for the day.
[0343] "Feedback" refers to the impressions and evaluations provided by users after trying the proposed meal plan.
[0344] An "emotion recognition engine" is software installed on a device that analyzes the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions.
[0345] A "database" is an information management system for storing various data used by the system, such as user information, profiles, and feedback information.
[0346] The "AI model" is a machine learning model that predicts the optimal meal plan based on collected user information and feedback information.
[0347] The "tensor format" is a format that represents data as a multidimensional array and is used as an input format for AI models.
[0348] The present invention relates to a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, emotional state, etc., creates an individual profile based on the collected information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. This system uses a combination of an emotion recognition engine and a generative AI model to optimize the meal plan based on the user's information and emotional state.

[0450] (Application example 2)
[0451] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0452] In today's busy lifestyles, it is extremely difficult to easily provide optimal meal plans tailored to individual users' health and emotional states. Conventional systems have difficulty proposing personalized meal plans due to insufficient user information input and recognition of emotional states. Furthermore, while there is a demand for meal plans that take into account the user's emotional state, there are limitations in this regard as well. To address this issue, it is necessary to combine emotion recognition with the creation of a profile based on information such as the user's body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences to propose more accurate meal plans.
[0453] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[0454] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, an emotion recognition engine for recognizing the user's emotional state from voice input and facial expressions, means for proposing a meal plan according to the user's activity level and emotional state for that day, means for the user to provide feedback on the proposed meal plan, and means for learning from the user's feedback and improving the next proposal, thereby enabling the provision of a personalized meal plan that takes into account the user's health condition and emotions.
[0455] "User's body type information" is information that indicates the user's physical characteristics such as height and weight.
[0456] "Amount of exercise" is information that indicates the user's daily exercise habits and activity level.
[0457] "Health condition" is information indicating the user's medical history and current health condition.
[0458] "Allergy" is information that indicates that the user has an allergic reaction to a particular food or ingredient.
[0459] "Dietary preferences" is information about the ingredients and cooking styles that the user prefers.
[0460] An "emotion recognition engine" is software or hardware for recognizing a user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions.
[0461] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model trained to make optimal suggestions based on user information.
[0462] A "dataset" is a collection of data, such as feedback information, collected for use in retraining an AI model.
[0463] A "meal plan" is a meal suggestion based on a user's profile and their activity level and emotional state for the day.
[0464] "Feedback" refers to the user's evaluation and impressions of the meal plan provided.
[0465] The present invention is a system that creates an individual profile based on a user's body type information, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments for implementing the present invention are described below.
[0466] 1. Collection of User Information
[0467] The device collects information entered by the user about their body type (e.g., height and weight), physical activity (e.g., daily exercise habits), health status (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking styles). This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[0468] 2. Emotional Recognition
[0469] The device is equipped with an emotion recognition engine that recognizes the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions. For example, it can determine the user's emotions (e.g., whether they are feeling stressed) by analyzing facial expressions through the camera and voice through the microphone. This processing is performed using Python and TensorFlow.
[0470] 3. Create a user profile
[0471] The server stores the user information and emotional state sent from the device in a database and generates an individual profile for each user based on that information. The generated profile is then recorded in the database.
[0472] 4. Generate a meal plan
[0473] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on the user's profile, activity level, and emotional state for that day. The server converts the collected user information into tensor format and inputs it into a generative AI model. This generative AI model predicts the optimal meal plan based on a combination of the user's body type, exercise level, health status, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state.
[0474] 5. Meal plan offerings
[0475] The server generates an optimal meal plan, which is then sent to the user's device, where the user can view it. Depending on the user's emotional state, the suggested meal plan includes ingredients and dishes that suit the user's mood.
[0476] 6. Providing Feedback
[0477] After trying the proposed meal plan, the user inputs their impressions and evaluation as feedback, which is then sent from the device to the server.
[0478] 7. Saving Feedback
[0479] The server stores the feedback information received from the terminal in a database, and also adds this feedback information to the training dataset.
[0480] 8. Retraining AI models
[0481] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the generative AI model, which makes the next suggestions more accurate and adapted to the user's preferences.
[0482] Specific examples
[0483] Assume the user is 30 years old, weighs 70 kg, is 175 cm tall, has a high activity level, is diabetic and allergic to dairy products, and prefers Japanese food. If the emotion recognition engine determines that the user is feeling stressed, the following steps are performed:
[0484] 1. User Information Collection:
[0485] "Enter your body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and dietary preferences."
[0486] 2. Emotion Recognition:
[0487] "Please speak into the microphone. We will recognize your facial expressions, so please look at the camera."
[0488] 3. Create a user profile:
[0489] The server generates and saves a profile based on this information.
[0490] 4. Generate meal plan:
[0491] "We offer a menu of low-carb, dairy-free Japanese cuisine."
[0492] 5. Meal Plan Offering:
[0493] Users can view the proposed meal plan on their device.
[0494] 6. Providing Feedback:
[0495] Please enter your thoughts after your meal.
[0496] 7. Saving Feedback:
[0497] The server stores the feedback information
[0498] 8. Retraining AI models:
[0499] "We will retrain it based on the feedback information to improve our next proposal."
[0500] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0501] Step 1:
[0502] Collection of User Information
[0503] The device accepts input from the user about their body type (height and weight), amount of exercise (daily exercise habits), health condition (medical history and allergies), and food preferences (favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The user enters this information on the provided interface, and the device converts it into JSON format and sends it to the server.
[0504] Input: Information about your body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and dietary preferences that you enter into your device
[0505] Output: User information converted to JSON format and sent to the server
[0506] Step 2:
[0507] Emotion recognition
[0508] The device uses an emotion recognition engine to recognize the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions. It captures facial expressions using a camera and records audio using a microphone. The emotion recognition engine analyzes facial features and voice tone to determine the user's emotion (e.g., whether they are feeling stressed). The results are converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[0509] Input: User facial expression images and voice data
[0510] Output: Emotional state information converted to JSON format and sent to the server
[0511] Step 3:
[0512] Creating a User Profile
[0513] The server receives the user information and emotional state sent from the device and stores them in a database. Based on this information, an individual profile of the user is generated. The profile is stored as a tensor-type data structure that comprehensively assesses the user's health and emotional state.
[0514] Input: User information and emotional state information in JSON format
[0515] Output: User profile stored in the database
[0516] Step 4:
[0517] Generate a meal plan
[0518] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on the generated user profile and the day's activity level and emotional state. This is done using a generative AI model. The AI model takes user data in tensor format as input and predicts the optimal meal plan based on that data. The generated meal plan is converted to JSON format and sent to the device.
[0519] Input: User profile in tensor format, along with activity level and emotional state for that day
[0520] Output: JSON formatted meal plan sent to the device
[0521] Step 5:
[0522] Meal plan provided
[0523] The device displays the meal plan received from the server, and the user reviews the plan and decides whether to select it. During this process, the plan includes ingredients and dishes that correspond to the user's emotional state.
[0524] Input: JSON format meal plan received from the server
[0525] Output: Meal plan displayed on device
[0526] Step 6:
[0527] Providing Feedback
[0528] After trying the proposed meal plan, the user enters their impressions and evaluations as feedback into the device, which then converts this feedback information into JSON format and sends it to the server.
[0529] Input: User feedback information
[0530] Output: Feedback information converted to JSON format and sent to the server
[0531] Step 7:
[0532] Save your feedback
[0533] The server stores the feedback information received from the devices in a database, which is also used as a data set to help propose improvements for the next time.
[0534] Input: Feedback information in JSON format
[0535] Output: Feedback information stored in a database
[0536] Step 8:
[0537] Retraining an AI model
[0538] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the generative AI model, which then gains the ability to generate more accurate and user-specific meal plans for the next time.
[0539] Input: Feedback information stored in the database
[0540] Output: An improved generative AI model
[0541] 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 microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio 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 audio data.
[0542] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. 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 voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as the "terminal."
[0557] The present invention is a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, dietary preferences, etc., creates an individual profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[0558] 1. Collection of User Information
[0559] Terminal
[0560] A user accesses the system using a terminal and inputs information about their body type (e.g., height and weight), amount of exercise (e.g., daily exercise habits), health condition (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking style). This information is sent to the server as basic data for creating an individual profile of the user.
[0561] 2. Create a user profile
[0562] server
[0563] The server receives the user information sent from the terminal, stores it in a database, and then automatically generates an individual profile for each user based on this information.
[0564] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[0565] server
[0566] Based on the user's profile, the server generates an optimal meal plan taking into account the user's daily activity level. Specifically, the user's input information is converted into tensor format and fed into an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The AI model processes the information and predicts the optimal meal plan.
[0567] The generated meal plan is based on the user's activity level, health status, allergies, food preferences, etc. For example, if a user has diabetes, a low-carb, nutritionally balanced menu will be suggested. Also, if a user prefers Japanese food, a menu centered on Japanese cuisine will be provided.
[0568] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[0569] Terminal
[0570] The meal plan generated by the server is sent to the user's device, where the user can review it. The user tries out the proposed meal plan and then inputs their impressions and ratings as feedback.
[0571] 5. Feedback learning and model refinement
[0572] server
[0573] The collected feedback is stored in a database, and the server uses this feedback data to retrain the AI model and improve its next suggestions to better suit the user's preferences.
[0574] Specific examples
[0575] Example user:
[0576] Age: 30
[0577] Weight: 70kg
[0578] Height: 175cm
[0579] Activity level: High
[0580] Health condition: Diabetes
[0581] Allergies: Dairy
[0582] Food preference: Japanese food
[0583] 1. Collection of User Information
[0584] The user inputs the above information from the terminal and transmits it to the server.
[0585] 2. Create a user profile
[0586] The server uses this information to generate individual profiles and stores them in a database.
[0587] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[0588] Based on this profile, the server generates a menu centered on Japanese cuisine that is low in carbohydrates and does not contain dairy products, and sends it to the user's device.
[0589] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[0590] The user reviews the proposed meal plan, tries it out, and then enters feedback via the device.
[0591] 5. Feedback learning and model refinement
[0592] The server adds the collected feedback to the dataset and retrains the AI model, a process that improves future recommendations to better suit the user's preferences and health status.
[0593] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0594] Step 1: Enter your user information
[0595] Users access the system from their terminals and input their body type (height, weight, etc.), amount of exercise (frequency, duration, etc.), health condition (medical history, allergies, etc.), and food preferences (favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The terminals then send this information to the server.
[0596] Step 2: Save user information
[0597] The server stores the user information received from the terminal in a database, and through this storage process, an individual profile of each user is recorded in the database.
[0598] Step 3: Creating a User Profile
[0599] The server uses the information in the database to generate an individual profile for each user, which is then stored in the database again. The user profile includes information about body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences that users have entered.
[0600] Step 4: Generate a meal plan
[0601] The server generates an optimal meal plan using an AI model based on the user's profile. Specifically, the server converts the user's information into tensor format and inputs it into the AI model to predict the meal plan. The AI model then uses the stored data to create the optimal menu for the user.
[0602] Step 5: Submit your meal plan
[0603] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's terminal, where the user can view the proposed meal plan.
[0604] Step 6: Provide feedback
[0605] The user actually tries out the proposed meal plan and inputs feedback on the results. The terminal sends the user's feedback information to the server.
[0606] Step 7: Save your feedback
[0607] The server stores the feedback information received from the device in a database, and also adds this feedback information to the training dataset.
[0608] Step 8: Retraining the AI model
[0609] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the AI model, making its next suggestions more accurate and tailored to the user's preferences.
[0610] Step 9: Provide an improved meal plan
[0611] Using the retrained AI model, the server again generates and serves the optimal meal plan to the user, which in turn provides an improved meal plan that incorporates user feedback.

[0623] "Tensor format" is user information converted into a multidimensional array format, and is used when inputting it into an AI model.
[0624] A "meal plan" is a meal suggestion tailored to a user, generated based on the user's profile.
[0625] "Feedback" refers to the impressions and ratings provided by users after trying the suggested meal plan.
[0626] "Retraining" is the process of updating an existing AI model with new feedback data collected to improve its accuracy.
[0627] "JSON format" is an abbreviation for JavaScript Object Notation, and is a lightweight data exchange format that represents data in text format and is used for data exchange.
[0628] The "HTTPS protocol" is an abbreviation for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, a protocol for encrypting internet communications to send and receive data safely.
[0629] The present invention is a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, dietary preferences, etc., creates an individual profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.

[0635] The server receives and parses user information in JSON format sent from the device. The collected information is stored in a database, and a profile for each user is generated based on this information. The database software used is a standard SQL database (e.g., MySQL or PostgreSQL).
[0636] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[0637] server
[0638] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on each user's profile. The user profile information is converted into tensor format and input into an AI model using a deep learning library such as TensorFlow. The AI model analyzes the user information and predicts the optimal meal plan for each user. For example, if a user has diabetes, a low-carb, nutritionally balanced menu will be suggested, and if a user prefers Japanese food, a menu centered on Japanese cuisine will be generated.
[0639] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[0640] Terminal

[0715] (Application example 1)
[0716] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0717] In modern society, there is a demand for systems that propose optimal meal plans based on an individual's health status and preferences and enable delivery orders. However, conventional systems are unable to fully utilize user information and feedback, making it difficult to provide highly accurate meal plans to individual users. Furthermore, the process for reflecting feedback and improving the next proposal is insufficient. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a system that enables the provision of personalized, healthy meal plans and the rapid delivery order of such plans.
[0718] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.
[0719] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and dietary preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, and means for proposing an optimal meal plan based on the user's activity level for that day and enabling immediate delivery ordering. This allows users to easily obtain a meal plan tailored to their health condition and preferences and quickly order delivery of the plan.
[0720] The system also maintains a database of suggested meal plans, generates meal plans using this database, and uses them for delivery orders, enabling efficient suggestions. Furthermore, feedback information is stored in a dataset, which can be used to retrain the generative AI model, and prompts can be used to refine the next meal plan suggestions, enabling suggestions that are more tailored to each user's preferences.
[0721] "Information regarding the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences" refers to data regarding weight, height, exercise habits, medical history, allergies, and food preferences entered by the user.
[0722] An "individual profile" is a collection of information customized for each user that is generated based on collected user information.
[0723] The "activity level for that day" is data relating to the amount of exercise and work intensity of the user for that day.
[0724] The "optimal meal plan" is a meal menu suggestion that is suitable for the user's health condition and food preferences, generated by AI based on the user's profile.
[0725] A "delivery order" is a request for a service to actually cook and deliver the proposed meal plan.
[0726] "Feedback" refers to a user providing feedback or rating on the meal they received.
[0727] A "dataset" is a collection of large amounts of data, including feedback information.
[0728] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence system that is trained to use large amounts of data to generate optimal meal plans.
[0729] A "prompt" is a textual instruction or data entry statement that is input into an AI model.
[0730] This invention relates to a system that proposes personalized meal plans and allows users to instantly order delivery. The system collects information about the user's body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences, generates a profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Furthermore, the system collects feedback about the proposed meal plans and reflects that feedback in the AI model to improve it.
[0731] 1. System Program
[0732] This system is primarily composed of a smartphone, a server, and a generative AI model. Users enter their information using their smartphone, and the data is sent to the server. The server creates an individual profile based on the received information, and the generative AI model generates an optimal meal plan. The generated meal plan is sent to the user's smartphone, allowing them to order delivery.
[0733] 2. Data processing and calculation
[0734] The smartphone application converts the user's input data into an appropriate format to facilitate sending it to the server. The server receives this data and stores it in a database. It also converts the data into tensor format for input to the generative AI model. The generative AI model is built using TensorFlow and processes the user's profile data to generate an optimal meal plan. Furthermore, feedback data from the user is stored on the server and used to retrain the AI model and improve the accuracy of the next meal plan.
[0735] 3. Specific Examples
[0736] For example, consider a 30-year-old user who is 175 cm tall, weighs 70 kg, has a high activity level, and suffers from diabetes and a dairy allergy. If the user prefers Japanese food, the user first enters this information into a smartphone application. The server generates a profile based on the user information, and the generated AI model proposes a low-carb, dairy-free Japanese meal plan. This proposal is immediately sent to the smartphone, allowing the user to place a delivery order.
[0737] Additionally, after trying a meal, users can provide feedback, such as their impressions and ratings, which the server will collect and use to improve its suggestions for the next time.
[0738] 4. Examples of prompts
[0739] User Profile
[0740] Age: 30
[0741] Weight: 70kg
[0742] Height: 175cm
[0743] Activity level: High
[0744] Health Condition: Diabetes
[0745] Allergies: Dairy
[0746] Food preference: Japanese food
[0747] Based on the user profile above, please suggest the best low-carb, dairy-free Japanese meal menu.
[0748] In this way, the system not only proposes optimal meal plans tailored to the user's health condition and preferences, but also allows for quick delivery orders, allowing users to easily obtain healthy meals.
[0749] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0750] Step 1:
[0751] Users use their smartphones to input information about their body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, etc. Input data includes age, weight, height, exercise habits, medical history, allergies, favorite dishes, etc. The input data is temporarily stored on the device and then sent to the server.
[0752] Input data: User's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences
[0753] Output data: User profile information sent to the server
[0754] Step 2:
[0755] The server receives the user information sent from the device and stores it in a database. At this time, it organizes various data (body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences) and creates a user profile for centralized management.
[0756] Input data: User profile information
[0757] Output data: User profile stored in a database
[0758] Step 3:
[0759] The server converts the collected user profile information into tensor format and inputs it into a generative AI model. The AI model is built using TensorFlow and generates an optimal meal plan based on the user's profile data. The generated meal plan is returned to the server via an API.
[0760] Input data: User profile information in tensor format
[0761] Output: Generated meal plan
[0762] Step 4:
[0763] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's smartphone terminal.
[0764] Input data: Generated meal plan
[0765] Output data: Meal plan displayed on a smartphone
[0766] Step 5:
[0767] The user checks the proposed meal plans on their smartphone, selects the one they like, and places a delivery order. The order information is sent to a server and linked to the restaurant or delivery service.
[0768] Input data: User order information
[0769] Output data: Order request to delivery service
[0770] Step 6:
[0771] After receiving the meal, the user inputs their impressions and evaluation of the meal as feedback into their smartphone, and this feedback data is sent to the server.
[0772] Input data: User feedback on meals
[0773] Output data: Feedback data sent to the server
[0774] Step 7:
[0775] The server stores the collected feedback information in a dataset and uses it to retrain the generative AI model, resulting in more accurate meal plan suggestions for the next time.
[0776] Input data: Feedback data
[0777] Output data: Improved generative AI model
[0778] This is the flow of processing in the program for the system that realizes the application example. At each processing step, specific data processing and calculations are performed, and the system evolves step by step.
[0779] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0780] The present invention is a system that combines an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions to collect information such as a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, create an individual profile based on that information, and propose an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[0781] 1. Collection of User Information

[0816] The user inputs the above information from the terminal and transmits it to the server.
[0817] 2. Emotional Recognition
[0818] The device analyzes the user's voice and facial expression and determines that the user is feeling stressed.
[0819] 3. Create a user profile
[0820] The server generates an individual profile based on this information and stores it in a database.
[0821] 4. Generate a meal plan
[0822] Based on this profile, the server generates a menu that is low in carbohydrates, dairy-free, mainly Japanese food, and includes ingredients that reduce stress, and sends it to the user's device.
[0823] 5. Meal plan offerings
[0824] The user reviews the proposed meal plan on the device.
[0825] 6. Providing Feedback
[0826] Users enter feedback about the meal plan they tried, such as "I felt relaxed," and send it to the server via their device.
[0827] 7. Saving Feedback
[0828] The server stores the collected feedback in a database and adds it to the training dataset.
[0829] 8. Retraining AI models
[0830] The server uses the feedback data to retrain the AI model and incorporates the feedback into its next suggestions.
[0831] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0832] Step 1: Enter your user information
[0833] Users access the system from their terminals and input their body type (height, weight, etc.), amount of exercise (frequency, duration, etc.), health condition (medical history, allergies, etc.), and food preferences (favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The input information is sent from the terminal to the server.
[0834] Step 2: Recognizing user emotions
[0835] The device uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's voice and facial expressions to recognize their emotional state. For example, when a user interacts with the system via voice input or a camera, the device analyzes their voice tone and facial movements to determine whether they are feeling stressed.
[0836] Step 3: Creating a User Profile
[0837] The server generates an individual profile based on the user information and emotional state received from the device, and the generated profile is stored in a database.
[0838] Step 4: Generate a meal plan
[0839] The server uses an AI model to generate an optimal meal plan, taking into account the user's profile, activity level, and emotional state. Specifically, the server converts user information into tensor format and inputs it into the AI model to predict the meal plan. The AI model generates the optimal menu based on a combination of data such as body type information, exercise volume, health status, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state.
[0840] Step 5: Submit your meal plan
[0841] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's device, where the user can view the proposed meal plan.
[0842] Step 6: Provide feedback
[0843] The user tries out the proposed meal plan and inputs feedback on the results, which is then sent to the server by the device.
[0844] Step 7: Save your feedback
[0845] The server stores the feedback information received from the devices in a database, and also adds this feedback information to a dataset for later retraining the model.
[0846] Step 8: Retraining the AI model
[0847] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the AI model, making its next suggestions more accurate and tailored to the user's preferences.
[0848] Step 9: Provide an improved meal plan
[0849] Using the retrained AI model, the server again generates and provides the optimal meal plan to the user. The improved meal plan reflects the user's feedback. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, a menu containing foods that will reduce stress will be provided.
[0850] Example 2
[0851] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0852] Conventional meal plan suggestion systems provide meal plans based on basic information such as the user's body type and health condition, but do not take into account the user's emotional state. As a result, they are unable to provide meal plans that are adapted to the user's mood and emotions, which can lead to a decrease in user satisfaction. Furthermore, improvements to the model based on feedback are not made quickly, which can delay improvements in suggestion accuracy.
[0853] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0854] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, means for proposing a meal plan based on the user's activity level and emotional state for that day, means for recognizing the user's emotional state using an emotion recognition engine installed in the terminal, means for learning from the user's feedback and improving the next proposal, means for saving the feedback information, and means for retraining the AI model using the saved feedback information. This makes it possible to provide an optimal meal plan that takes the user's emotional state into consideration and to quickly improve the model.

[0859] A "meal plan" is a menu of meals suggested based on user information, activity level, and emotional state for the day.
[0860] "Feedback" refers to the impressions and evaluations provided by users after trying the proposed meal plan.
[0861] An "emotion recognition engine" is software installed on a device that analyzes the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions.
[0862] A "database" is an information management system for storing various data used by the system, such as user information, profiles, and feedback information.
[0863] The "AI model" is a machine learning model that predicts the optimal meal plan based on collected user information and feedback information.
[0864] The "tensor format" is a format that represents data as a multidimensional array and is used as an input format for AI models.
[0865] The present invention relates to a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, emotional state, etc., creates an individual profile based on the collected information, and proposes an optimal meal plan.

[0967] (Application example 2)
[0968] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0969] In today's busy lifestyles, it is extremely difficult to easily provide optimal meal plans tailored to individual users' health and emotional states. Conventional systems have difficulty proposing personalized meal plans due to insufficient user information input and recognition of emotional states. Furthermore, while there is a demand for meal plans that take into account the user's emotional state, there are limitations in this regard as well. To address this issue, it is necessary to combine emotion recognition with the creation of a profile based on information such as the user's body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences to propose more accurate meal plans.
[0970] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[0971] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, an emotion recognition engine for recognizing the user's emotional state from voice input and facial expressions, means for proposing a meal plan according to the user's activity level and emotional state for that day, means for the user to provide feedback on the proposed meal plan, and means for learning from the user's feedback and improving the next proposal, thereby enabling the provision of a personalized meal plan that takes into account the user's health condition and emotions.
[0972] "User's body type information" is information that indicates the user's physical characteristics such as height and weight.
[0973] "Amount of exercise" is information that indicates the user's daily exercise habits and activity level.
[0974] "Health condition" is information indicating the user's medical history and current health condition.
[0975] "Allergy" is information that indicates that the user has an allergic reaction to a particular food or ingredient.
[0976] "Dietary preferences" is information about the ingredients and cooking styles that the user prefers.
[0977] An "emotion recognition engine" is software or hardware for recognizing a user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions.
[0978] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model trained to make optimal suggestions based on user information.
[0979] A "dataset" is a collection of data, such as feedback information, collected for use in retraining an AI model.
[0980] A "meal plan" is a meal suggestion based on a user's profile and their activity level and emotional state for the day.
[0981] "Feedback" refers to the user's evaluation and impressions of the meal plan provided.
[0982] The present invention is a system that creates an individual profile based on a user's body type information, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments for implementing the present invention are described below.
[0983] 1. Collection of User Information
[0984] The device collects information entered by the user about their body type (e.g., height and weight), physical activity (e.g., daily exercise habits), health status (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking styles). This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[0985] 2. Emotional Recognition
[0986] The device is equipped with an emotion recognition engine that recognizes the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions. For example, it can determine the user's emotions (e.g., whether they are feeling stressed) by analyzing facial expressions through the camera and voice through the microphone. This processing is done using Python and TensorFlow.
[0987] 3. Create a user profile
[0988] The server stores the user information and emotional state sent from the device in a database and generates an individual profile for each user based on that information. The generated profile is then recorded in the database.
[0989] 4. Generate a meal plan
[0990] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on the user's profile, activity level, and emotional state for that day. The server converts the collected user information into tensor format and inputs it into a generative AI model. This generative AI model predicts the optimal meal plan based on a combination of the user's body type, exercise volume, health status, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state.
[0991] 5. Meal plan offerings
[0992] The server generates an optimal meal plan, which is then sent to the user's device, where the user can view it. Depending on the user's emotional state, the suggested meal plan includes ingredients and dishes that suit the user's mood.
[0993] 6. Providing Feedback
[0994] After trying the proposed meal plan, the user inputs their impressions and evaluations as feedback, which is then sent from the device to the server.
[0995] 7. Saving Feedback
[0996] The server stores the feedback information received from the terminal in a database, and also adds this feedback information to the training dataset.
[0997] 8. Retraining AI models
[0998] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the generative AI model, which makes the next suggestions more accurate and adapted to the user's preferences.
[0999] Specific examples
[1000] Assume the user is 30 years old, weighs 70 kg, is 175 cm tall, has a high activity level, is diabetic and allergic to dairy products, and prefers Japanese food. If the emotion recognition engine determines that the user is feeling stressed, the following steps are performed:
[1001] 1. User Information Collection:
[1002] "Enter your body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and dietary preferences."
[1003] 2. Emotion Recognition:
[1004] "Please speak into the microphone. We will recognize your facial expressions, so please look at the camera."
[1005] 3. Create a user profile:
[1006] The server generates and saves a profile based on this information.
[1007] 4. Generate meal plan:
[1008] "We offer a menu of low-carb, dairy-free Japanese cuisine."
[1009] 5. Meal Plan Offering:
[1010] Users can view the proposed meal plan on their device.
[1011] 6. Providing Feedback:
[1012] Please enter your thoughts after your meal.
[1013] 7. Saving Feedback:
[1014] The server stores the feedback information
[1015] 8. Retraining AI models:
[1016] "We will retrain it based on the feedback information to improve our next proposal."

The user enters this information on the provided interface, and the device converts it into JSON format and sends it to the server.
[1021] Input: Information about your body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and dietary preferences that you enter into your device
[1022] Output: User information converted to JSON format and sent to the server
[1023] Step 2:
[1024] Emotion recognition
[1025] The device uses an emotion recognition engine to recognize the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions. It captures facial expressions using a camera and records audio using a microphone. The emotion recognition engine analyzes facial features and voice tone to determine the user's emotion (e.g., whether they are feeling stressed). The results are converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[1026] Input: User facial expression images and voice data
[1027] Output: Emotional state information converted to JSON format and sent to the server
[1028] Step 3:
[1029] Creating a User Profile
[1030] The server receives the user information and emotional state sent from the device and stores them in a database. Based on this information, an individual profile of the user is generated. The profile is stored as a tensor-type data structure that comprehensively assesses the user's health and emotional state.
[1031] Input: User information and emotional state information in JSON format
[1032] Output: User profile stored in the database
[1033] Step 4:
[1034] Generate a meal plan
[1035] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on the generated user profile and the day's activity level and emotional state. This is done using a generative AI model. The AI model takes user data in tensor format as input and predicts the optimal meal plan based on that data. The generated meal plan is converted to JSON format and sent to the device.
[1036] Input: User profile in tensor format, along with activity level and emotional state for that day
[1037] Output: JSON formatted meal plan sent to the device
[1038] Step 5:
[1039] Meal plan provided
[1040] The device displays the meal plan received from the server, and the user reviews the plan and decides whether to select it. During this process, the plan includes ingredients and dishes that correspond to the user's emotional state.
[1041] Input: JSON format meal plan received from the server
[1042] Output: Meal plan displayed on device
[1043] Step 6:
[1044] Providing Feedback
[1045] After trying the proposed meal plan, the user enters their impressions and evaluations as feedback into the device, which then converts this feedback information into JSON format and sends it to the server.
[1046] Input: User feedback information
[1047] Output: Feedback information converted to JSON format and sent to the server
[1048] Step 7:
[1049] Save your feedback
[1050] The server stores the feedback information received from the devices in a database, which is also used as a data set to help propose improvements for the next time.
[1051] Input: Feedback information in JSON format
[1052] Output: Feedback information stored in a database
[1053] Step 8:
[1054] Retraining an AI model
[1055] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the generative AI model, which then gains the ability to generate more accurate and user-specific meal plans for the next time.
[1056] Input: Feedback information stored in the database
[1057] Output: An improved generative AI model
[1058] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio 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 audio data.
[1059] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. 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 voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[1074] The present invention is a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, dietary preferences, etc., creates an individual profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[1075] 1. Collection of User Information
[1076] Terminal
[1077] A user accesses the system using a terminal and inputs information about their body type (e.g., height and weight), amount of exercise (e.g., daily exercise habits), health condition (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking style). This information is sent to the server as basic data for creating an individual profile of the user.
[1078] 2. Create a user profile
[1079] server
[1080] The server receives the user information sent from the terminal, stores it in a database, and then automatically generates an individual profile for each user based on this information.
[1081] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[1082] server
[1083] Based on the user's profile, the server generates an optimal meal plan taking into account the user's daily activity level. Specifically, the user's input information is converted into tensor format and fed into an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The AI model processes the information and predicts the optimal meal plan.
[1084] The generated meal plan is based on the user's activity level, health status, allergies, food preferences, etc. For example, if a user has diabetes, a low-carb, nutritionally balanced menu will be suggested. Also, if a user prefers Japanese food, a menu centered on Japanese cuisine will be provided.
[1085] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[1086] Terminal
[1087] The meal plan generated by the server is sent to the user's device, where the user can review it. The user tries out the proposed meal plan and then inputs their impressions and ratings as feedback.
[1088] 5. Feedback learning and model refinement
[1089] server
[1090] The collected feedback is stored in a database, and the server uses this feedback data to retrain the AI model and improve its next suggestions to better suit the user's preferences.
[1091] Specific examples
[1092] Example user:
[1093] Age: 30
[1094] Weight: 70kg
[1095] Height: 175cm
[1096] Activity level: High
[1097] Health condition: Diabetes
[1098] Allergies: Dairy
[1099] Food preference: Japanese food
[1100] 1. Collection of User Information
[1101] The user inputs the above information from the terminal and transmits it to the server.
[1102] 2. Create a user profile
[1103] The server uses this information to generate individual profiles and stores them in a database.
[1104] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[1105] Based on this profile, the server generates a menu centered on Japanese cuisine that is low in carbohydrates and does not contain dairy products, and sends it to the user's device.
[1106] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[1107] The user reviews the proposed meal plan, tries it out, and then enters feedback via the device.
[1108] 5. Feedback learning and model refinement
[1109] The server adds the collected feedback to the dataset and retrains the AI model, a process that improves future recommendations to better suit the user's preferences and health status.
[1110] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1111] Step 1: Enter your user information
[1112] Users access the system from their terminals and input their body type (height, weight, etc.), amount of exercise (frequency, duration, etc.), health condition (medical history, allergies, etc.), and food preferences (favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The terminals then send this information to the server.
[1113] Step 2: Save user information
[1114] The server stores the user information received from the terminal in a database, and through this storage process, an individual profile of each user is recorded in the database.
[1115] Step 3: Creating a User Profile
[1116] The server uses the information in the database to generate an individual profile for each user, which is then stored in the database again. The user profile includes information about body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences that users have entered.
[1117] Step 4: Generate a meal plan
[1118] The server generates an optimal meal plan using an AI model based on the user's profile. Specifically, the server converts the user's information into tensor format and inputs it into the AI model to predict the meal plan. The AI model then uses the stored data to create the optimal menu for the user.
[1119] Step 5: Submit your meal plan
[1120] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's terminal, where the user can view the proposed meal plan.
[1121] Step 6: Provide feedback
[1122] The user actually tries out the proposed meal plan and inputs feedback on the results. The terminal sends the user's feedback information to the server.
[1123] Step 7: Save your feedback
[1124] The server stores the feedback information received from the device in a database, and also adds this feedback information to the training dataset.
[1125] Step 8: Retraining the AI model
[1126] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the AI model, making its next suggestions more accurate and tailored to the user's preferences.
[1127] Step 9: Provide an improved meal plan
[1128] Using the retrained AI model, the server again generates and serves the optimal meal plan to the user, which in turn provides an improved meal plan that incorporates user feedback.
[1129] Example 1
[1130] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1131] In modern society, it is important to provide meal plans tailored to an individual's health status and lifestyle. However, conventional systems have had difficulty in properly collecting a wide range of user information (e.g., body shape, health status, food preferences, etc.) and providing meal plans tailored to individual needs. Furthermore, there were insufficient means to effectively utilize user feedback and improve future proposals. This resulted in a decline in user satisfaction.

[1140] "Tensor format" is user information converted into a multidimensional array format, and is used when inputting it into an AI model.
[1141] A "meal plan" is a meal suggestion tailored to a user, generated based on the user's profile.
[1142] "Feedback" refers to the impressions and ratings provided by users after trying the suggested meal plan.
[1143] "Retraining" is the process of updating an existing AI model with new feedback data collected to improve its accuracy.
[1144] "JSON format" is an abbreviation for JavaScript Object Notation, and is a lightweight data exchange format that represents data in text format and is used for data exchange.
[1145] The "HTTPS protocol" is an abbreviation for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, a protocol for encrypting internet communications to send and receive data safely.
[1146] The present invention is a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, dietary preferences, etc., creates an individual profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.

[1152] The server receives and parses user information in JSON format sent from the device. The collected information is stored in a database, and a profile for each user is generated based on this information. The database software used is a standard SQL database (e.g., MySQL or PostgreSQL).
[1153] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[1154] server
[1155] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on each user's profile. The user profile information is converted into tensor format and input into an AI model using a deep learning library such as TensorFlow. The AI model analyzes the user information and predicts the optimal meal plan for each user. For example, if a user has diabetes, a low-carb, nutritionally balanced menu will be suggested, and if a user prefers Japanese food, a menu centered on Japanese cuisine will be generated.
[1156] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[1157] Terminal

[1232] (Application example 1)
[1233] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1234] In modern society, there is a demand for systems that propose optimal meal plans based on an individual's health status and preferences and enable delivery orders. However, conventional systems are unable to fully utilize user information and feedback, making it difficult to provide highly accurate meal plans to individual users. Furthermore, the process for reflecting feedback and improving the next proposal is insufficient. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a system that enables the provision of personalized, healthy meal plans and the rapid delivery order of such plans.
[1235] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.
[1236] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and dietary preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, and means for proposing an optimal meal plan based on the user's activity level for that day and enabling immediate delivery ordering. This allows users to easily obtain a meal plan tailored to their health condition and preferences and quickly order delivery of the plan.
[1237] The system also maintains a database of suggested meal plans, generates meal plans using this database, and uses them for delivery orders, enabling efficient suggestions. Furthermore, feedback information is stored in a dataset, which can be used to retrain the generative AI model, and prompts can be used to refine the next meal plan suggestions, enabling suggestions that are more tailored to each user's preferences.
[1238] "Information regarding the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences" refers to data regarding weight, height, exercise habits, medical history, allergies, and food preferences entered by the user.
[1239] An "individual profile" is a collection of information customized for each user that is generated based on collected user information.
[1240] The "activity level for that day" is data relating to the amount of exercise and work intensity of the user for that day.
[1241] The "optimal meal plan" is a meal menu suggestion that is suitable for the user's health condition and food preferences, generated by AI based on the user's profile.
[1242] A "delivery order" is a request for a service to actually cook and deliver the proposed meal plan.
[1243] "Feedback" refers to a user providing feedback or rating on the meal they received.
[1244] A "dataset" is a collection of large amounts of data, including feedback information.
[1245] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence system that is trained to use large amounts of data to generate optimal meal plans.
[1246] A "prompt" is a textual instruction or data entry statement that is input into an AI model.
[1247] This invention relates to a system that proposes personalized meal plans and allows users to instantly order delivery. The system collects information about the user's body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences, generates a profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Furthermore, the system collects feedback about the proposed meal plans and reflects that feedback in the AI model to improve it.
[1248] 1. System Program
[1249] This system is primarily composed of a smartphone, a server, and a generative AI model. Users enter their information using their smartphone, and the data is sent to the server. The server creates an individual profile based on the received information, and the generative AI model generates an optimal meal plan. The generated meal plan is sent to the user's smartphone, allowing them to order delivery.
[1250] 2. Data processing and calculation
[1251] The smartphone application converts the user's input data into an appropriate format to facilitate sending it to the server. The server receives this data and stores it in a database. It also converts the data into tensor format for input to the generative AI model. The generative AI model is built using TensorFlow and processes the user's profile data to generate an optimal meal plan. Furthermore, feedback data from the user is stored on the server and used to retrain the AI model and improve the accuracy of the next meal plan.
[1252] 3. Specific Examples
[1253] For example, consider a 30-year-old user who is 175 cm tall, weighs 70 kg, has a high activity level, and suffers from diabetes and a dairy allergy. If the user prefers Japanese food, the user first enters this information into a smartphone application. The server generates a profile based on the user information, and the generated AI model proposes a low-carb, dairy-free Japanese meal plan. This proposal is immediately sent to the smartphone, allowing the user to place a delivery order.
[1254] Additionally, after trying a meal, users can provide feedback, such as their impressions and ratings, which the server will collect and use to improve its suggestions for the next time.
[1255] 4. Examples of prompts
[1256] User Profile
[1257] Age: 30
[1258] Weight: 70kg
[1259] Height: 175cm
[1260] Activity level: High
[1261] Health Condition: Diabetes
[1262] Allergies: Dairy
[1263] Food preference: Japanese food
[1264] Based on the user profile above, please suggest the best low-carb, dairy-free Japanese meal menu.
[1265] In this way, the system not only proposes optimal meal plans tailored to the user's health condition and preferences, but also allows for quick delivery orders, allowing users to easily obtain healthy meals.
[1266] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1267] Step 1:
[1268] Users use their smartphones to input information about their body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, etc. Input data includes age, weight, height, exercise habits, medical history, allergies, favorite dishes, etc. The input data is temporarily stored on the device and then sent to the server.
[1269] Input data: User's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences
[1270] Output data: User profile information sent to the server
[1271] Step 2:
[1272] The server receives the user information sent from the device and stores it in a database. At this time, it organizes various data (body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences) and creates a user profile for centralized management.
[1273] Input data: User profile information
[1274] Output data: User profile stored in a database
[1275] Step 3:
[1276] The server converts the collected user profile information into tensor format and inputs it into a generative AI model. The AI model is built using TensorFlow and generates an optimal meal plan based on the user's profile data. The generated meal plan is returned to the server via an API.
[1277] Input data: User profile information in tensor format
[1278] Output: Generated meal plan
[1279] Step 4:
[1280] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's smartphone terminal.
[1281] Input data: Generated meal plan
[1282] Output data: Meal plan displayed on a smartphone
[1283] Step 5:
[1284] The user checks the proposed meal plans on their smartphone, selects the one they like, and places a delivery order. The order information is sent to a server and linked to the restaurant or delivery service.
[1285] Input data: User order information
[1286] Output data: Order request to delivery service
[1287] Step 6:
[1288] After receiving the meal, the user inputs their impressions and evaluation of the meal as feedback into their smartphone, and this feedback data is sent to the server.
[1289] Input data: User feedback on meals
[1290] Output data: Feedback data sent to the server
[1291] Step 7:
[1292] The server stores the collected feedback information in a dataset and uses it to retrain the generative AI model, resulting in more accurate meal plan suggestions for the next time.
[1293] Input data: Feedback data
[1294] Output data: Improved generative AI model
[1295] This is the flow of processing in the program for the system that realizes the application example. At each processing step, specific data processing and calculations are performed, and the system evolves step by step.
[1296] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1297] The present invention is a system that combines an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions to collect information such as a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, create an individual profile based on that information, and propose an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[1298] 1. Collection of User Information
[1299] Terminal
[1300] A user accesses the system using a terminal and inputs their body type information (e.g., height and weight), amount of exercise (e.g., daily exercise habits), health condition (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The input information is sent from the terminal to the server.
[1301] 2. Emotional Recognition
[1302] Terminal
[1303] The device is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions. For example, it analyzes the tone of their voice and facial movements when they interact with the system through voice input or a camera to determine the user's emotions.
[1304] 3. Create a user profile
[1305] server
[1306] The server stores the user information and emotional state sent from the terminal in a database and generates an individual profile for each user based on that information. The generated profile is recorded in the database.
[1307] 4. Generate a meal plan
[1308] server
[1309] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on the user's profile, activity level for that day, and emotional state. The server converts the user's information into tensor format and inputs it into an AI model. The AI model predicts the optimal meal plan based on a combination of the user's body type, exercise level, health status, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state.
[1310] 5. Meal plan offerings
[1311] Terminal
[1312] The server generates an optimal meal plan, which is then sent to the user's device, where the user can view it. Depending on the user's emotional state, the suggested meal plan may include ingredients and dishes that match the user's mood.
[1313] 6. Providing Feedback
[1314] User
[1315] After trying the proposed meal plan, the user inputs their impressions and evaluations as feedback, and the device sends this feedback information to the server.
[1316] 7. Saving Feedback
[1317] server
[1318] The server stores the feedback information received from the device in a database, and also adds this feedback information to the training dataset.
[1319] 8. Retraining AI models
[1320] server
[1321] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the AI model, making its next suggestions more accurate and tailored to the user's preferences.
[1322] Specific examples
[1323] Example user:
[1324] Age: 30
[1325] Weight: 70kg
[1326] Height: 175cm
[1327] Activity level: High
[1328] Health condition: Diabetes
[1329] Allergies: Dairy
[1330] Food preference: Japanese food
[1331] Emotional state: Feeling stressed
[1332] 1. Collection of User Information
[1333] The user inputs the above information from the terminal and transmits it to the server.
[1334] 2. Emotional Recognition
[1335] The device analyzes the user's voice and facial expression and determines that the user is feeling stressed.
[1336] 3. Create a user profile
[1337] The server generates an individual profile based on this information and stores it in a database.
[1338] 4. Generate a meal plan
[1339] Based on this profile, the server generates a menu that is low in carbohydrates, dairy-free, mainly Japanese food, and includes ingredients that reduce stress, and sends it to the user's device.
[1340] 5. Meal plan offerings
[1341] The user reviews the proposed meal plan on the device.
[1342] 6. Providing Feedback
[1343] Users enter feedback about the meal plan they tried, such as "I felt relaxed," and send it to the server via their device.
[1344] 7. Saving Feedback
[1345] The server stores the collected feedback in a database and adds it to the training dataset.
[1346] 8. Retraining AI models
[1347] The server uses the feedback data to retrain the AI model and incorporates the feedback into its next suggestions.
[1348] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1349] Step 1: Enter your user information
[1350] Users access the system from their terminals and input their body type (height, weight, etc.), amount of exercise (frequency, duration, etc.), health condition (medical history, allergies, etc.), and food preferences (favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The input information is sent from the terminal to the server.
[1351] Step 2: Recognizing user emotions
[1352] The device uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's voice and facial expressions to recognize their emotional state. For example, when a user interacts with the system via voice input or a camera, the device analyzes their voice tone and facial movements to determine whether they are feeling stressed.
[1353] Step 3: Creating a User Profile
[1354] The server generates an individual profile based on the user information and emotional state received from the device, and the generated profile is stored in a database.
[1355] Step 4: Generate a meal plan
[1356] The server uses an AI model to generate an optimal meal plan, taking into account the user's profile, activity level, and emotional state. Specifically, the server converts user information into tensor format and inputs it into the AI model to predict the meal plan. The AI model generates the optimal menu based on a combination of data such as body type information, exercise volume, health status, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state.
[1357] Step 5: Submit your meal plan
[1358] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's device, where the user can view the proposed meal plan.
[1359] Step 6: Provide feedback
[1360] The user tries out the proposed meal plan and inputs feedback on the results, which is then sent to the server by the device.
[1361] Step 7: Save your feedback
[1362] The server stores the feedback information received from the devices in a database, and also adds this feedback information to a dataset for later retraining the model.
[1363] Step 8: Retraining the AI model
[1364] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the AI model, making its next suggestions more accurate and tailored to the user's preferences.
[1365] Step 9: Provide an improved meal plan
[1366] Using the retrained AI model, the server again generates and provides the optimal meal plan to the user. The improved meal plan reflects the user's feedback. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, a menu containing foods that will reduce stress will be provided.
[1367] Example 2
[1368] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1369] Conventional meal plan suggestion systems provide meal plans based on basic information such as the user's body type and health condition, but do not take into account the user's emotional state. As a result, they are unable to provide meal plans that are adapted to the user's mood and emotions, which can lead to a decrease in user satisfaction. Furthermore, improvements to the model based on feedback are not made quickly, which can delay improvements in suggestion accuracy.
[1370] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1371] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, means for proposing a meal plan based on the user's activity level and emotional state for that day, means for recognizing the user's emotional state using an emotion recognition engine installed in the terminal, means for learning from the user's feedback and improving the next proposal, means for saving the feedback information, and means for retraining the AI model using the saved feedback information. This makes it possible to provide an optimal meal plan that takes the user's emotional state into consideration and to quickly improve the model.
[1372] "User information" refers to personal information such as the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences.
[1373] A "profile" is a data set specific to an individual user that is generated based on collected user information.

[1375] "Emotional state" is information that indicates the user's emotional or mood state, and is recognized from voice and facial expressions.
[1376] A "meal plan" is a menu of meals suggested based on user information, activity level, and emotional state for the day.
[1377] "Feedback" refers to the impressions and evaluations provided by users after trying the proposed meal plan.
[1378] An "emotion recognition engine" is software installed on a device that analyzes the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions.
[1379] A "database" is an information management system for storing various data used by the system, such as user information, profiles, and feedback information.
[1380] The "AI model" is a machine learning model that predicts the optimal meal plan based on collected user information and feedback information.
[1381] The "tensor format" is a format that represents data as a multidimensional array and is used as an input format for AI models.
[1382] The present invention relates to a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, emotional state, etc., creates an individual profile based on the collected information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. This system uses a combination of an emotion recognition engine and a generative AI model to optimize the meal plan based on the user's information and emotional state.

[1484] (Application example 2)
[1485] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1486] In today's busy lifestyles, it is extremely difficult to easily provide optimal meal plans tailored to individual users' health and emotional states. Conventional systems have difficulty proposing personalized meal plans due to insufficient user information input and recognition of emotional states. Furthermore, while there is a demand for meal plans that take into account the user's emotional state, there are limitations in this regard as well. To address this issue, it is necessary to combine emotion recognition with the creation of a profile based on information such as the user's body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences to propose more accurate meal plans.
[1487] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[1488] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, an emotion recognition engine for recognizing the user's emotional state from voice input and facial expressions, means for proposing a meal plan according to the user's activity level and emotional state for that day, means for the user to provide feedback on the proposed meal plan, and means for learning from the user's feedback and improving the next proposal, thereby enabling the provision of a personalized meal plan that takes into account the user's health condition and emotions.
[1489] "User's body type information" is information that indicates the user's physical characteristics such as height and weight.
[1490] "Amount of exercise" is information that indicates the user's daily exercise habits and activity level.
[1491] "Health condition" is information indicating the user's medical history and current health condition.
[1492] "Allergy" is information that indicates that the user has an allergic reaction to a particular food or ingredient.
[1493] "Dietary preferences" is information about the ingredients and cooking styles that the user prefers.
[1494] An "emotion recognition engine" is software or hardware for recognizing a user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions.
[1495] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model trained to make optimal suggestions based on user information.
[1496] A "dataset" is a collection of data, such as feedback information, collected for use in retraining an AI model.
[1497] A "meal plan" is a meal suggestion based on a user's profile and their activity level and emotional state for the day.
[1498] "Feedback" refers to the user's evaluation and impressions of the meal plan provided.
[1499] The present invention is a system that creates an individual profile based on a user's body type information, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments for implementing the present invention are described below.
[1500] 1. Collection of User Information
[1501] The device collects information entered by the user about their body type (e.g., height and weight), physical activity (e.g., daily exercise habits), health status (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking styles). This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[1502] 2. Emotional Recognition
[1503] The device is equipped with an emotion recognition engine that recognizes the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions. For example, it can determine the user's emotions (e.g., whether they are feeling stressed) by analyzing facial expressions through the camera and voice through the microphone. This processing is performed using Python and TensorFlow.
[1504] 3. Create a user profile
[1505] The server stores the user information and emotional state sent from the device in a database and generates an individual profile for each user based on that information. The generated profile is then recorded in the database.
[1506] 4. Generate a meal plan
[1507] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on the user's profile, activity level, and emotional state for that day. The server converts the collected user information into tensor format and inputs it into a generative AI model. This generative AI model predicts the optimal meal plan based on a combination of the user's body type, exercise level, health status, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state.
[1508] 5. Meal plan offerings
[1509] The server generates an optimal meal plan, which is then sent to the user's device, where the user can view it. Depending on the user's emotional state, the suggested meal plan includes ingredients and dishes that suit the user's mood.
[1510] 6. Providing Feedback
[1511] After trying the proposed meal plan, the user inputs their impressions and evaluation as feedback, which is then sent from the device to the server.
[1512] 7. Saving Feedback
[1513] The server stores the feedback information received from the terminal in a database, and also adds this feedback information to the training dataset.
[1514] 8. Retraining AI models
[1515] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the generative AI model, which makes the next suggestions more accurate and adapted to the user's preferences.
[1516] Specific examples
[1517] Assume the user is 30 years old, weighs 70 kg, is 175 cm tall, has a high activity level, is diabetic and allergic to dairy products, and prefers Japanese food. If the emotion recognition engine determines that the user is feeling stressed, the following steps are performed:
[1518] 1. User Information Collection:
[1519] "Enter your body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and dietary preferences."
[1520] 2. Emotion Recognition:
[1521] "Please speak into the microphone. We will recognize your facial expressions, so please look at the camera."
[1522] 3. Create a user profile:
[1523] The server generates and saves a profile based on this information.
[1524] 4. Generate meal plan:
[1525] "We offer a menu of low-carb, dairy-free Japanese cuisine."
[1526] 5. Meal Plan Offering:
[1527] Users can view the proposed meal plan on their device.
[1528] 6. Providing Feedback:

[1542] The device uses an emotion recognition engine to recognize the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions. It captures facial expressions using a camera and records audio using a microphone. The emotion recognition engine analyzes facial features and voice tone to determine the user's emotion (e.g., whether they are feeling stressed). The results are converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[1543] Input: User facial expression images and voice data
[1544] Output: Emotional state information converted to JSON format and sent to the server
[1545] Step 3:
[1546] Creating a User Profile
[1547] The server receives the user information and emotional state sent from the device and stores them in a database. Based on this information, an individual profile of the user is generated. The profile is stored as a tensor-type data structure that comprehensively assesses the user's health and emotional state.
[1548] Input: User information and emotional state information in JSON format
[1549] Output: User profile stored in the database
[1550] Step 4:
[1551] Generate a meal plan
[1552] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on the generated user profile and the day's activity level and emotional state. This is done using a generative AI model. The AI model takes user data in tensor format as input and predicts the optimal meal plan based on that data. The generated meal plan is converted to JSON format and sent to the device.
[1553] Input: User profile in tensor format, along with activity level and emotional state for that day
[1554] Output: JSON formatted meal plan sent to the device
[1555] Step 5:
[1556] Meal plan provided
[1557] The device displays the meal plan received from the server, and the user reviews the plan and decides whether to select it. During this process, the plan includes ingredients and dishes that correspond to the user's emotional state.
[1558] Input: JSON format meal plan received from the server
[1559] Output: Meal plan displayed on device
[1560] Step 6:
[1561] Providing Feedback
[1562] After trying the proposed meal plan, the user enters their impressions and evaluations as feedback into the device, which then converts this feedback information into JSON format and sends it to the server.
[1563] Input: User feedback information
[1564] Output: Feedback information converted to JSON format and sent to the server
[1565] Step 7:
[1566] Save your feedback
[1567] The server stores the feedback information received from the devices in a database, which is also used as a data set to help propose improvements for the next time.
[1568] Input: Feedback information in JSON format
[1569] Output: Feedback information stored in a database
[1570] Step 8:
[1571] Retraining an AI model
[1572] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the generative AI model, which then gains the ability to generate more accurate and user-specific meal plans for the next time.
[1573] Input: Feedback information stored in the database
[1574] Output: An improved generative AI model
[1575] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio 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 audio data.
[1576] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. 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 voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[1591] Next, a description will be given of the specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1592] The present invention is a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, dietary preferences, etc., creates an individual profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[1593] 1. Collection of User Information
[1594] Terminal
[1595] A user accesses the system using a terminal and inputs information about their body type (e.g., height and weight), amount of exercise (e.g., daily exercise habits), health condition (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking style). This information is sent to the server as basic data for creating an individual profile of the user.
[1596] 2. Create a user profile
[1597] server
[1598] The server receives the user information sent from the terminal, stores it in a database, and then automatically generates an individual profile for each user based on this information.
[1599] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[1600] server
[1601] Based on the user's profile, the server generates an optimal meal plan taking into account the user's daily activity level. Specifically, the user's input information is converted into tensor format and fed into an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The AI model processes the information and predicts the optimal meal plan.
[1602] The generated meal plan is based on the user's activity level, health status, allergies, food preferences, etc. For example, if a user has diabetes, a low-carb, nutritionally balanced menu will be suggested. Also, if a user prefers Japanese food, a menu centered on Japanese cuisine will be provided.
[1603] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[1604] Terminal
[1605] The meal plan generated by the server is sent to the user's device, where the user can review it. The user tries out the proposed meal plan and then inputs their impressions and ratings as feedback.
[1606] 5. Feedback learning and model refinement
[1607] server
[1608] The collected feedback is stored in a database, and the server uses this feedback data to retrain the AI model and improve its next suggestions to better suit the user's preferences.
[1609] Specific examples
[1610] Example user:
[1611] Age: 30
[1612] Weight: 70kg
[1613] Height: 175cm
[1614] Activity level: High
[1615] Health condition: Diabetes
[1616] Allergies: Dairy
[1617] Food preference: Japanese food
[1618] 1. Collection of User Information
[1619] The user inputs the above information from the terminal and transmits it to the server.
[1620] 2. Create a user profile
[1621] The server uses this information to generate individual profiles and stores them in a database.
[1622] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[1623] Based on this profile, the server generates a menu centered on Japanese cuisine that is low in carbohydrates and does not contain dairy products, and sends it to the user's device.
[1624] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[1625] The user reviews the proposed meal plan, tries it out, and then enters feedback via the device.
[1626] 5. Feedback learning and model refinement
[1627] The server adds the collected feedback to the dataset and retrains the AI model, a process that improves future recommendations to better suit the user's preferences and health status.
[1628] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1629] Step 1: Enter your user information
[1630] Users access the system from their terminals and input their body type (height, weight, etc.), amount of exercise (frequency, duration, etc.), health condition (medical history, allergies, etc.), and food preferences (favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The terminals then send this information to the server.
[1631] Step 2: Save user information
[1632] The server stores the user information received from the terminal in a database, and through this storage process, an individual profile of each user is recorded in the database.
[1633] Step 3: Creating a User Profile
[1634] The server uses the information in the database to generate an individual profile for each user, which is then stored in the database again. The user profile includes information about body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences that users have entered.
[1635] Step 4: Generate a meal plan
[1636] The server generates an optimal meal plan using an AI model based on the user's profile. Specifically, the server converts the user's information into tensor format and inputs it into the AI model to predict the meal plan. The AI model then uses the stored data to create the optimal menu for the user.
[1637] Step 5: Submit your meal plan
[1638] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's terminal, where the user can view the proposed meal plan.
[1639] Step 6: Provide feedback
[1640] The user actually tries out the proposed meal plan and inputs feedback on the results. The terminal sends the user's feedback information to the server.
[1641] Step 7: Save your feedback
[1642] The server stores the feedback information received from the device in a database, and also adds this feedback information to the training dataset.
[1643] Step 8: Retraining the AI model
[1644] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the AI model, making its next suggestions more accurate and tailored to the user's preferences.
[1645] Step 9: Provide an improved meal plan
[1646] Using the retrained AI model, the server again generates and serves the optimal meal plan to the user, which in turn provides an improved meal plan that incorporates user feedback.
[1647] Example 1
[1648] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1649] In modern society, it is important to provide meal plans tailored to an individual's health status and lifestyle. However, conventional systems have had difficulty in properly collecting a wide range of user information (e.g., body shape, health status, food preferences, etc.) and providing meal plans tailored to individual needs.

[1659] A "meal plan" is a meal suggestion tailored to a user, generated based on the user's profile.
[1660] "Feedback" refers to the impressions and ratings provided by users after trying the suggested meal plan.
[1661] "Retraining" is the process of updating an existing AI model with new feedback data collected to improve its accuracy.
[1662] "JSON format" is an abbreviation for JavaScript Object Notation, and is a lightweight data exchange format that represents data in text format and is used for data exchange.
[1663] The "HTTPS protocol" is an abbreviation for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, a protocol for encrypting internet communications to send and receive data safely.
[1664] The present invention is a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, dietary preferences, etc., creates an individual profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.

[1670] The server receives and parses user information in JSON format sent from the device. The collected information is stored in a database, and a profile for each user is generated based on this information. The database software used is a standard SQL database (e.g., MySQL or PostgreSQL).
[1671] 3. Meal plan suggestions
[1672] server
[1673] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on each user's profile. The user profile information is converted into tensor format and input into an AI model using a deep learning library such as TensorFlow. The AI model analyzes the user information and predicts the optimal meal plan for each user. For example, if a user has diabetes, a low-carb, nutritionally balanced menu will be suggested, and if a user prefers Japanese food, a menu centered on Japanese cuisine will be generated.
[1674] 4. Providing suggestions and gathering feedback
[1675] Terminal

[1750] (Application example 1)
[1751] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1752] In modern society, there is a demand for systems that propose optimal meal plans based on an individual's health status and preferences and enable delivery orders. However, conventional systems are unable to fully utilize user information and feedback, making it difficult to provide highly accurate meal plans to individual users. Furthermore, the process for reflecting feedback and improving the next proposal is insufficient. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a system that enables the provision of personalized, healthy meal plans and the rapid delivery order of such plans.
[1753] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.
[1754] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and dietary preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, and means for proposing an optimal meal plan based on the user's activity level for that day and enabling immediate delivery ordering. This allows users to easily obtain a meal plan tailored to their health condition and preferences and quickly order delivery of the plan.
[1755] The system also maintains a database of suggested meal plans, generates meal plans using this database, and uses them for delivery orders, enabling efficient suggestions. Furthermore, feedback information is stored in a dataset, which can be used to retrain the generative AI model, and prompts can be used to refine the next meal plan suggestions, enabling suggestions that are more tailored to each user's preferences.
[1756] "Information regarding the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences" refers to data regarding weight, height, exercise habits, medical history, allergies, and food preferences entered by the user.
[1757] An "individual profile" is a collection of information customized for each user that is generated based on collected user information.
[1758] The "activity level for that day" is data relating to the amount of exercise and work intensity of the user for that day.
[1759] The "optimal meal plan" is a meal menu suggestion that is suitable for the user's health condition and food preferences, generated by AI based on the user's profile.
[1760] A "delivery order" is a request for a service to actually cook and deliver the proposed meal plan.
[1761] "Feedback" refers to a user providing feedback or rating on the meal they received.
[1762] A "dataset" is a collection of large amounts of data, including feedback information.
[1763] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence system that is trained to use large amounts of data to generate optimal meal plans.
[1764] A "prompt" is a textual instruction or data entry statement that is input into an AI model.
[1765] This invention relates to a system that proposes personalized meal plans and allows users to instantly order delivery. The system collects information about the user's body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences, generates a profile based on that information, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Furthermore, the system collects feedback about the proposed meal plans and reflects that feedback in the AI model to improve it.
[1766] 1. System Program
[1767] This system is primarily composed of a smartphone, a server, and a generative AI model. Users enter their information using their smartphone, and the data is sent to the server. The server creates an individual profile based on the received information, and the generative AI model generates an optimal meal plan. The generated meal plan is sent to the user's smartphone, allowing them to order delivery.
[1768] 2. Data processing and calculation
[1769] The smartphone application converts the user's input data into an appropriate format to facilitate sending it to the server. The server receives this data and stores it in a database. It also converts the data into tensor format for input to the generative AI model. The generative AI model is built using TensorFlow and processes the user's profile data to generate an optimal meal plan. Furthermore, feedback data from the user is stored on the server and used to retrain the AI model and improve the accuracy of the next meal plan.
[1770] 3. Specific Examples
[1771] For example, consider a 30-year-old user who is 175 cm tall, weighs 70 kg, has a high activity level, and suffers from diabetes and a dairy allergy. If the user prefers Japanese food, the user first enters this information into a smartphone application. The server generates a profile based on the user information, and the generated AI model proposes a low-carb, dairy-free Japanese meal plan. This proposal is immediately sent to the smartphone, allowing the user to place a delivery order.
[1772] Additionally, after trying a meal, users can provide feedback, such as their impressions and ratings, which the server will collect and use to improve its suggestions for the next time.
[1773] 4. Examples of prompts
[1774] User Profile
[1775] Age: 30
[1776] Weight: 70kg
[1777] Height: 175cm
[1778] Activity level: High
[1779] Health Condition: Diabetes
[1780] Allergies: Dairy
[1781] Food preference: Japanese food
[1782] Based on the user profile above, please suggest the best low-carb, dairy-free Japanese meal menu.
[1783] In this way, the system not only proposes optimal meal plans tailored to the user's health condition and preferences, but also allows for quick delivery orders, allowing users to easily obtain healthy meals.
[1784] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1785] Step 1:
[1786] Users use their smartphones to input information about their body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, etc. Input data includes age, weight, height, exercise habits, medical history, allergies, favorite dishes, etc. The input data is temporarily stored on the device and then sent to the server.
[1787] Input data: User's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences
[1788] Output data: User profile information sent to the server
[1789] Step 2:
[1790] The server receives the user information sent from the device and stores it in a database. At this time, it organizes various data (body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences) and creates a user profile for centralized management.
[1791] Input data: User profile information
[1792] Output data: User profile stored in a database
[1793] Step 3:
[1794] The server converts the collected user profile information into tensor format and inputs it into a generative AI model. The AI model is built using TensorFlow and generates an optimal meal plan based on the user's profile data. The generated meal plan is returned to the server via an API.
[1795] Input data: User profile information in tensor format
[1796] Output: Generated meal plan
[1797] Step 4:
[1798] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's smartphone terminal.
[1799] Input data: Generated meal plan
[1800] Output data: Meal plan displayed on a smartphone
[1801] Step 5:
[1802] The user checks the proposed meal plans on their smartphone, selects the one they like, and places a delivery order. The order information is sent to a server and linked to the restaurant or delivery service.
[1803] Input data: User order information
[1804] Output data: Order request to delivery service
[1805] Step 6:
[1806] After receiving the meal, the user inputs their impressions and evaluation of the meal as feedback into their smartphone, and this feedback data is sent to the server.
[1807] Input data: User feedback on meals
[1808] Output data: Feedback data sent to the server
[1809] Step 7:
[1810] The server stores the collected feedback information in a dataset and uses it to retrain the generative AI model, resulting in more accurate meal plan suggestions for the next time.
[1811] Input data: Feedback data
[1812] Output data: Improved generative AI model
[1813] This is the flow of processing in the program for the system that realizes the application example. At each processing step, specific data processing and calculations are performed, and the system evolves step by step.
[1814] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1815] The present invention is a system that combines an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions to collect information such as a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, create an individual profile based on that information, and propose an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments of this system are described below.
[1816] 1. Collection of User Information
[1817] Terminal
[1818] A user accesses the system using a terminal and inputs their body type information (e.g., height and weight), amount of exercise (e.g., daily exercise habits), health condition (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The input information is sent from the terminal to the server.
[1819] 2. Emotional Recognition
[1820] Terminal
[1821] The device is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions. For example, it analyzes the tone of their voice and facial movements when they interact with the system through voice input or a camera to determine the user's emotions.
[1822] 3. Create a user profile
[1823] server
[1824] The server stores the user information and emotional state sent from the terminal in a database and generates an individual profile for each user based on that information. The generated profile is recorded in the database.
[1825] 4. Generate a meal plan
[1826] server
[1827] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on the user's profile, activity level for that day, and emotional state. The server converts the user's information into tensor format and inputs it into an AI model. The AI model predicts the optimal meal plan based on a combination of the user's body type, exercise level, health status, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state.
[1828] 5. Meal plan offerings
[1829] Terminal
[1830] The server generates an optimal meal plan, which is then sent to the user's device, where the user can view it. Depending on the user's emotional state, the suggested meal plan may include ingredients and dishes that match the user's mood.
[1831] 6. Providing Feedback
[1832] User
[1833] After trying the proposed meal plan, the user inputs their impressions and evaluations as feedback, and the device sends this feedback information to the server.
[1834] 7. Saving Feedback
[1835] server
[1836] The server stores the feedback information received from the device in a database, and also adds this feedback information to the training dataset.
[1837] 8. Retraining AI models
[1838] server
[1839] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the AI model, making its next suggestions more accurate and tailored to the user's preferences.
[1840] Specific examples
[1841] Example user:
[1842] Age: 30
[1843] Weight: 70kg
[1844] Height: 175cm
[1845] Activity level: High
[1846] Health condition: Diabetes
[1847] Allergies: Dairy
[1848] Food preference: Japanese food
[1849] Emotional state: Feeling stressed
[1850] 1. Collection of User Information
[1851] The user inputs the above information from the terminal and transmits it to the server.
[1852] 2. Emotional Recognition
[1853] The device analyzes the user's voice and facial expression and determines that the user is feeling stressed.
[1854] 3. Create a user profile
[1855] The server generates an individual profile based on this information and stores it in a database.
[1856] 4. Generate a meal plan
[1857] Based on this profile, the server generates a menu that is low in carbohydrates, dairy-free, mainly Japanese food, and includes ingredients that reduce stress, and sends it to the user's device.
[1858] 5. Meal plan offerings
[1859] The user reviews the proposed meal plan on the device.
[1860] 6. Providing Feedback
[1861] Users enter feedback about the meal plan they tried, such as "I felt relaxed," and send it to the server via their device.
[1862] 7. Saving Feedback
[1863] The server stores the collected feedback in a database and adds it to the training dataset.
[1864] 8. Retraining AI models
[1865] The server uses the feedback data to retrain the AI model and incorporates the feedback into its next suggestions.
[1866] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1867] Step 1: Enter your user information
[1868] Users access the system from their terminals and input their body type (height, weight, etc.), amount of exercise (frequency, duration, etc.), health condition (medical history, allergies, etc.), and food preferences (favorite ingredients and cooking styles). The input information is sent from the terminal to the server.
[1869] Step 2: Recognizing user emotions
[1870] The device uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's voice and facial expressions to recognize their emotional state. For example, when a user interacts with the system via voice input or a camera, the device analyzes their voice tone and facial movements to determine whether they are feeling stressed.
[1871] Step 3: Creating a User Profile
[1872] The server generates an individual profile based on the user information and emotional state received from the device, and the generated profile is stored in a database.
[1873] Step 4: Generate a meal plan
[1874] The server uses an AI model to generate an optimal meal plan, taking into account the user's profile, activity level, and emotional state. Specifically, the server converts user information into tensor format and inputs it into the AI model to predict the meal plan. The AI model generates the optimal menu based on a combination of data such as body type information, exercise volume, health status, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state.
[1875] Step 5: Submit your meal plan
[1876] The server sends the generated meal plan to the user's device, where the user can view the proposed meal plan.
[1877] Step 6: Provide feedback
[1878] The user tries out the proposed meal plan and inputs feedback on the results, which is then sent to the server by the device.
[1879] Step 7: Save your feedback
[1880] The server stores the feedback information received from the devices in a database, and also adds this feedback information to a dataset for later retraining the model.
[1881] Step 8: Retraining the AI model
[1882] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the AI model, making its next suggestions more accurate and tailored to the user's preferences.
[1883] Step 9: Provide an improved meal plan
[1884] Using the retrained AI model, the server again generates and provides the optimal meal plan to the user. The improved meal plan reflects the user's feedback. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, a menu containing foods that will reduce stress will be provided.
[1885] Example 2
[1886] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1887] Conventional meal plan suggestion systems provide meal plans based on basic information such as the user's body type and health condition, but do not take into account the user's emotional state. As a result, they are unable to provide meal plans that are adapted to the user's mood and emotions, which can lead to a decrease in user satisfaction. Furthermore, improvements to the model based on feedback are not made quickly, which can delay improvements in suggestion accuracy.
[1888] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1889] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, means for proposing a meal plan based on the user's activity level and emotional state for that day, means for recognizing the user's emotional state using an emotion recognition engine installed in the terminal, means for learning from the user's feedback and improving the next proposal, means for saving the feedback information, and means for retraining the AI model using the saved feedback information. This makes it possible to provide an optimal meal plan that takes the user's emotional state into consideration and to quickly improve the model.
[1890] "User information" refers to personal information such as the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences.
[1891] A "profile" is a data set specific to an individual user that is generated based on collected user information.
[1892] "Activity level" is information indicating the amount of exercise the user does on a daily basis and the intensity of the activity on each day.
[1893] "Emotional state" is information that indicates the user's emotional or mood state, and is recognized from voice and facial expressions.
[1894] A "meal plan" is a menu of meals suggested based on user information, activity level, and emotional state for the day.
[1895] "Feedback" refers to the impressions and evaluations provided by users after trying the proposed meal plan.
[1896] An "emotion recognition engine" is software installed on a device that analyzes the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions.
[1897] A "database" is an information management system for storing various data used by the system, such as user information, profiles, and feedback information.
[1898] The "AI model" is a machine learning model that predicts the optimal meal plan based on collected user information and feedback information.
[1899] The "tensor format" is a format that represents data as a multidimensional array and is used as an input format for AI models.
[1900] The present invention relates to a system that collects information on a user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, emotional state, etc., creates an individual profile based on the collected information, and proposes an optimal meal plan.

[2002] (Application example 2)
[2003] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[2004] In today's busy lifestyles, it is extremely difficult to easily provide optimal meal plans tailored to individual users' health and emotional states. Conventional systems have difficulty proposing personalized meal plans due to insufficient user information input and recognition of emotional states. Furthermore, while there is a demand for meal plans that take into account the user's emotional state, there are limitations in this regard as well. To address this issue, it is necessary to combine emotion recognition with the creation of a profile based on information such as the user's body type, activity level, health status, allergies, and food preferences to propose more accurate meal plans.
[2005] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[2006] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting information on the user's body type, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, and food preferences, means for creating an individual profile based on the collected user information, an emotion recognition engine for recognizing the user's emotional state from voice input and facial expressions, means for proposing a meal plan according to the user's activity level and emotional state for that day, means for the user to provide feedback on the proposed meal plan, and means for learning from the user's feedback and improving the next proposal, thereby enabling the provision of a personalized meal plan that takes into account the user's health condition and emotions.
[2007] "User's body type information" is information that indicates the user's physical characteristics such as height and weight.
[2008] "Amount of exercise" is information that indicates the user's daily exercise habits and activity level.
[2009] "Health condition" is information indicating the user's medical history and current health condition.
[2010] "Allergy" is information that indicates that the user has an allergic reaction to a particular food or ingredient.
[2011] "Dietary preferences" is information about the ingredients and cooking styles that the user prefers.
[2012] An "emotion recognition engine" is software or hardware for recognizing a user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions.
[2013] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model trained to make optimal suggestions based on user information.
[2014] A "dataset" is a collection of data, such as feedback information, collected for use in retraining an AI model.
[2015] A "meal plan" is a meal suggestion based on a user's profile and their activity level and emotional state for the day.
[2016] "Feedback" refers to the user's evaluation and impressions of the meal plan provided.
[2017] The present invention is a system that creates an individual profile based on a user's body type information, amount of exercise, health condition, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state, and proposes an optimal meal plan. Specific embodiments for implementing the present invention are described below.
[2018] 1. Collection of User Information
[2019] The device collects information entered by the user about their body type (e.g., height and weight), physical activity (e.g., daily exercise habits), health status (e.g., medical history and allergies), and food preferences (e.g., favorite ingredients and cooking styles). This information is converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[2020] 2. Emotional Recognition
[2021] The device is equipped with an emotion recognition engine that recognizes the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions. For example, it can determine the user's emotions (e.g., whether they are feeling stressed) by analyzing facial expressions through the camera and voice through the microphone. This processing is performed using Python and TensorFlow.
[2022] 3. Create a user profile
[2023] The server stores the user information and emotional state sent from the device in a database and generates an individual profile for each user based on that information. The generated profile is then recorded in the database.
[2024] 4. Generate a meal plan
[2025] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on the user's profile, activity level, and emotional state for that day. The server converts the collected user information into tensor format and inputs it into a generative AI model. This generative AI model predicts the optimal meal plan based on a combination of the user's body type, exercise level, health status, allergies, food preferences, and emotional state.
[2026] 5. Meal plan offerings
[2027] The server generates an optimal meal plan, which is then sent to the user's device, where the user can view it. Depending on the user's emotional state, the suggested meal plan includes ingredients and dishes that suit the user's mood.
[2028] 6. Providing Feedback
[2029] After trying the proposed meal plan, the user inputs their impressions and evaluation as feedback, which is then sent from the device to the server.
[2030] 7. Saving Feedback
[2031] The server stores the feedback information received from the terminal in a database, and also adds this feedback information to the training dataset.
[2032] 8. Retraining AI models

[2060] The device uses an emotion recognition engine to recognize the user's emotional state from their voice and facial expressions. It captures facial expressions using a camera and records audio using a microphone. The emotion recognition engine analyzes facial features and voice tone to determine the user's emotion (e.g., whether they are feeling stressed). The results are converted into JSON format and sent to the server.
[2061] Input: User facial expression images and voice data
[2062] Output: Emotional state information converted to JSON format and sent to the server
[2063] Step 3:
[2064] Creating a User Profile
[2065] The server receives the user information and emotional state sent from the device and stores them in a database. Based on this information, an individual profile of the user is generated. The profile is stored as a tensor-type data structure that comprehensively assesses the user's health and emotional state.
[2066] Input: User information and emotional state information in JSON format
[2067] Output: User profile stored in the database
[2068] Step 4:
[2069] Generate a meal plan
[2070] The server generates an optimal meal plan based on the generated user profile and the day's activity level and emotional state. This is done using a generative AI model. The AI model takes user data in tensor format as input and predicts the optimal meal plan based on that data. The generated meal plan is converted to JSON format and sent to the device.
[2071] Input: User profile in tensor format, along with activity level and emotional state for that day
[2072] Output: JSON formatted meal plan sent to the device
[2073] Step 5:

[2082] Output: Feedback information converted to JSON format and sent to the server
[2083] Step 7:
[2084] Save your feedback
[2085] The server stores the feedback information received from the devices in a database, which is also used as a data set to help propose improvements for the next time.
[2086] Input: Feedback information in JSON format
[2087] Output: Feedback information stored in a database
[2088] Step 8:
[2089] Retraining an AI model
[2090] The server uses the stored feedback information to retrain the generative AI model, which then gains the ability to generate more accurate and user-specific meal plans for the next time.
[2091] Input: Feedback information stored in the database
[2092] Output: An improved generative AI model
[2093] 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 voice indicating a user input regarding 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.
[2094] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. 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 voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.
[2095] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[2096] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[2097] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating 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. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and actions arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[2098] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically 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.
[2099] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[2100] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. Emotions can also be created for robots, automobiles, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on Voice Emotion Recognition and Emotional Brain Physiological Signal Analysis Systems, Tokushima University, Doctoral Dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.
[2101] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs 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 a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[2102] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of 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, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.
[2103] The system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, but the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. The present disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program running on a personal computer or an application running on a smartphone, etc. The method according to the present disclosure may be provided to users in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).
[2104] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by one computer 22, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be distributed and performed by a plurality of computers including the computer 22. For example, the data generation model 58 may be provided in an external device of the data processing device 12, and data may be generated in the external device in accordance with input data.
[2105] 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 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 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.
[2106] Alternatively, 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 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[2107] 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.
[2108] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: An example of a processor is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. Another example of a processor is a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[2109] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with 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 processing may be a single processor.
[2110] As an example of a system configured with a single 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 system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an 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.
[2111] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
