[0028] (Example 1) The utilization suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system in which AI suggests ways to utilize garbage or unwanted items simply by taking a photo of the item. This makes it possible to reduce garbage, promote recycling, and even use it as an educational tool for children.
[0029] The utilization suggestion system according to the embodiment includes a photographing unit, an analysis unit, and a suggestion unit. The photographing unit acquires images of garbage or unwanted items. For example, a user photographs garbage or unwanted items using a smartphone camera. The photographing unit can also acquire high-resolution images using a digital camera. The photographing unit can also acquire images in real time using a webcam. For example, a smartphone camera is easily portable and can be used to take photos anytime, anywhere. The high-resolution images acquired by a digital camera allow for detailed analysis. The real-time image acquisition by a webcam is suitable for online use. The analysis unit analyzes the images acquired by the photographing unit. For example, the generation AI analyzes the type and condition of garbage or unwanted items using an image recognition algorithm. The generation AI can also extract important information from images using feature extraction technology. The generation AI can also improve the accuracy of image analysis using deep learning. For example, an image recognition algorithm identifies the type of object based on its shape and color. Feature extraction technology extracts important parts from images and uses them for analysis. Deep learning improves the accuracy of analysis by learning from large amounts of data. The suggestion unit suggests utilization methods based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. For example, the generation AI suggests selling the items at a nearby recycle shop or online marketplace. The generation AI can also suggest taking the items to a recycling center. The generation AI can also suggest ways to make crafts for children. For example, recycle shops buy unwanted items, making recycling easy. Online marketplaces allow items to be sold over the Internet, so a wide range of customers can be reached. Recycling centers are environmentally friendly because they handle specialized recycling processes. As a result, the utilization suggestion system according to the embodiment contributes to promoting recycling and reducing waste by suggesting ways to utilize trash and unwanted items. For example, by implementing the suggested utilization methods, users can reduce waste and contribute to environmental protection.Children can also develop their creativity and get involved in recycling by making the suggested crafts.
[0030] The analysis unit can automatically generate a 3D model of an object and perform a more detailed analysis. For example, the analysis unit uses a generative AI to automatically generate a 3D model based on images of garbage or unwanted items taken by the user. For example, it can integrate images taken from multiple angles to recreate the three-dimensional shape of an object. The analysis unit can also generate a 3D model of an object using a 3D scanner. For example, a 3D scanner can scan the surface of an object and generate a detailed 3D model. The analysis unit can also analyze the internal structure of an object based on the 3D model. For example, it can use CT scanning technology to scan the inside of an object and analyze the internal structure. This enables a detailed analysis of the object and suggests more appropriate ways to use it. For example, a user can learn how to repair an object based on the 3D model. It can also suggest ways to reuse the object based on the 3D model.
[0031] The photographing unit can evaluate the condition of an object in real time and instruct the user on how to adjust the shooting angle and lighting. For example, when a user photographs trash or unwanted items, the generation AI evaluates the condition of the object in real time and instructs the user on how to adjust the optimal shooting angle and lighting. For example, it adjusts the direction of the light to avoid shadows. The photographing unit can also evaluate the condition of the object and instruct the user on an appropriate shooting distance. For example, if the object is small, it instructs the user to shoot at a close distance. The photographing unit can also evaluate the condition of the object and instruct the user on an appropriate background for shooting. For example, if the background is cluttered, it instructs the user to choose a simple background. This provides optimal shooting conditions and improves analysis accuracy. For example, by taking photos according to the generation AI's instructions, the user can obtain more accurate analysis results. Furthermore, providing optimal shooting conditions allows the user to obtain detailed information about the object.
[0032] The analysis unit can automatically remove the background from an image and extract only the object. For example, in the case of an image of garbage or unwanted items taken by a user, the analysis unit uses a generation AI to automatically remove the background and extract only the object. For example, unnecessary parts of the background are automatically deleted. The analysis unit can also separate the foreground and background of an image and extract only the object. For example, a segmentation algorithm is used to separate the foreground and background. The analysis unit can also remove the background using chromakey technology. For example, a specific color is set as the background and then removed. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by extracting only the object. For example, a user can perform a detailed analysis of the object based on an image with the background removed. Furthermore, extracting only the object improves the accuracy of the analysis results.
[0033] The analysis unit can automatically search for information about the object's history and manufacturer and provide it to the user. For example, when a user takes a photo of trash or unwanted items, the analysis unit's generation AI automatically searches for information about the object's history and manufacturer and provides it to the user. For example, it displays information about the object's year of manufacture and manufacturer. The analysis unit can also provide information about the object's manufacturing process and how to use it. For example, it displays the object's manufacturing process and precautions for use. The analysis unit can also provide information about the object's historical background and cultural value. For example, it can explain the object's historical background and its cultural value. Providing detailed information about the object deepens the user's understanding. For example, knowing the object's history and manufacturer information can increase a user's interest in the object. Furthermore, knowing detailed information about an object can help users find appropriate ways to use it.
[0034] The suggestion unit can expand the scope of reuse by including methods for repairing or modifying an object. For example, the suggestion unit includes methods for repairing an object in the utilization methods proposed by the generative AI. For example, it may suggest the steps to repair a broken toy and the tools needed. The suggestion unit can also suggest methods for modifying an object. For example, it may suggest a way to remake old furniture into new furniture. The suggestion unit can also suggest materials and parts needed to repair or modify an object. For example, it may suggest the screws and adhesives needed for repair, or the paint and fabric needed for modification. In this way, suggesting methods for repairing or modifying an object expands the scope of reuse. For example, a user can reuse a broken object by implementing the proposed repair method. Also, an old object can be put to new use by implementing the proposed modification method.
[0035] The suggestion unit collects user feedback on the proposed use methods, and the generation AI learns to improve the accuracy of the suggestions. For example, the suggestion unit collects user feedback on the proposed use methods, and the generation AI learns based on that data to improve the accuracy of the suggestions. For example, the suggestion unit provides feedback on the results of the user implementing the suggestions. The suggestion unit can also improve the content of the suggestions based on user feedback. For example, it can simplify the steps to make it easier for the user to implement the proposed methods. The suggestion unit can also add new suggestions based on user feedback. For example, it can suggest new recycling and reuse methods in response to user requests. This improves the accuracy of the suggestions based on user feedback. For example, by receiving more appropriate suggestions, the user will be more satisfied with how the object is used. Furthermore, as the generation AI learns, the accuracy of the suggestions improves, enabling more effective recycling and reuse.
[0036] The suggestion unit can include ways of use in local community events and workshops. For example, the suggestion unit includes ways of use in local community events in the ways of use suggested by the generation AI. For example, it suggests ways of use in local recycling events. The suggestion unit can also suggest ways of use in local workshops. For example, it suggests ways of use in local craft workshops for children. The suggestion unit can also suggest ways of participating in local community activities. For example, it suggests ways of participating in local cleanup activities and recycling activities. In this way, by suggesting ways of use in local community events and workshops, ties with the local community are strengthened. For example, by participating in local events and workshops, a user can deepen their ties with the local community. Furthermore, by participating in local community activities, they can contribute to environmental protection.
[0037] The suggestion unit can add ideas for reusing objects as artworks. For example, the suggestion unit can add ideas for reusing objects as artworks to the utilization methods suggested by the generative AI. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest ways to remake old furniture into artworks. The suggestion unit can also suggest ideas for art projects using objects. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest ways to create sculptures or installations using recycled materials. The suggestion unit can also suggest ways to hold art workshops using objects. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest ways to hold workshops at local art events. In this way, creative reuse is promoted by reusing objects as artworks. For example, by carrying out the suggested art projects, a user can reuse the object in a new way. Furthermore, reusing the object as an artwork can increase the value of the object.
[0038] The suggestion unit can include a delivery method or a packaging method for the object. For example, the suggestion unit includes a delivery method for the object in the sales or recycling path suggested by the generation AI. For example, it suggests an appropriate delivery company or delivery procedure. The suggestion unit can also suggest a packaging method for the object. For example, it suggests appropriate packaging materials and packaging procedures. The suggestion unit can also provide points to note regarding the delivery of the object. For example, it suggests how to handle fragile objects. In this way, by suggesting a delivery or packaging method for the object, the user can easily sell or recycle the object. For example, by implementing the suggested delivery method, the user can deliver the object safely. Also, by implementing the suggested packaging method, the user can package the object appropriately.
[0039] The suggestion unit can analyze the user's usage history for the proposed lead and automatically customize the optimal lead. The suggestion unit, for example, analyzes the user's usage history for the proposed lead and automatically customizes the optimal lead. For example, the suggestion unit suggests an optimal sales channel based on the past usage history. The suggestion unit can also improve the content of the lead based on the user's usage history. For example, the suggestion unit simplifies the steps of the lead to make it easier for the user to use. The suggestion unit can also add a new lead based on the user's usage history. For example, the suggestion unit suggests a new sales channel or recycling method in response to the user's request. In this way, the user experience is improved by suggesting the optimal lead based on the user's usage history. For example, the user can easily implement the lead by receiving suggestions based on the past usage history. Furthermore, the suggestion of the optimal lead can efficiently sell and recycle objects.
[0040] The suggestion unit can add options for exchanging or donating objects. For example, the suggestion unit adds an option for exchanging objects to the sales or recycling paths suggested by the generation AI. For example, it can suggest a platform where objects can be exchanged for objects of the same value. The suggestion unit can also suggest options for donating objects. For example, it can suggest appropriate donation recipients and donation procedures. The suggestion unit can also provide points to note regarding exchanging or donating objects. For example, it can suggest exchange conditions and how to select a donation recipient. In this way, adding options for exchanging or donating objects expands the scope of reuse. For example, by using the suggested exchange option, a user can make effective use of unwanted objects. Also, by using the suggested donation option, the user can donate the object to someone in need.
[0041] The suggestion unit can provide a video link that visually explains the recycling process of an object. For example, the suggestion unit provides a video link that visually explains the recycling process of an object to the sales and recycling flow suggested by the generation AI. For example, the recycling procedure is explained in a video. The suggestion unit can also provide a video link that explains in detail each step of the recycling process. For example, sorting methods and processing methods are explained in a video. The suggestion unit can also provide a video link that explains points to note in the recycling process. For example, safety measures and environmental considerations when recycling are explained in a video. This visual explanation of the recycling process deepens the user's understanding. For example, by watching the video, the user can accurately understand the recycling procedure. Furthermore, the visual explanation allows the user to realize the importance and effects of recycling.
[0042] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0043] The analysis unit can analyze the components of an object and identify reusable materials. For example, it can analyze the components of metals and plastics to extract recyclable materials. The analysis unit can also analyze the chemical components of an object and identify substances that are harmful to the environment. For example, it can detect harmful substances such as lead and mercury and suggest appropriate disposal methods. The analysis unit can also suggest methods for separating reusable materials based on the results of the component analysis of an object. For example, it can suggest a procedure for separating metals and plastics. In this way, analyzing the components of an object makes it possible to identify and separate reusable materials, improving recycling efficiency. For example, a user can select an appropriate recycling method based on the results of the component analysis. Component analysis also enables the appropriate disposal of substances that are harmful to the environment.
[0044] The suggestion unit can suggest ways to improve energy efficiency in addition to ways to recycle objects.

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. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction.

[0130] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414.

[0131] 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.
[0132] FIG. 9 illustrates 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 behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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).
[0135] 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 expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, 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 expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0136] 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."
[0137] 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.
[0138] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: A CPU is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A dedicated electrical circuit, such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic device (PLD), or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), is a processor with a circuit configuration specifically designed to execute a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[0143] The hardware resource that executes the specific process 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 process may be a single processor.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used.
