[0028] (Example 1) The upcycle design proposal system according to an embodiment of the present invention purchases excess inventory from brands and uses a generation AI to generate new design proposals. This allows the upcycle design proposal system to effectively utilize excess inventory and provide environmentally friendly upcycled products.
[0029] An upcycle design proposal system according to an embodiment includes a surplus inventory acquisition unit, a data conversion unit, and a generation unit. The surplus inventory acquisition unit acquires surplus inventory from brands. For example, it purchases surplus inventory such as clothing and accessories. The surplus inventory acquisition unit can also receive surplus inventory directly from brands. The data conversion unit registers the product visual and material information acquired by the surplus inventory acquisition unit in a database. For example, it takes a photo of the product and inputs information such as material, size, and color. The data conversion unit can also manually input detailed product information. The generation unit generates new design proposals based on the information registered by the data conversion unit. For example, the generation AI generates new design proposals using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). The generation AI can also use a multimodal generation AI to analyze the product visual and material information and generate new design proposals. The generation AI can also generate design proposals taking into account the product's characteristics and color combinations. This allows the upcycle design proposal system according to an embodiment to effectively utilize surplus inventory and generate new design proposals. For example, the generated design proposals are instantly presented to the user, who can choose their favorite from multiple design proposals. The generative AI can also learn the user's selection history and preferences to generate more personalized design proposals. The generative AI can also refer to past design trends and fashion show data to generate design proposals that reflect the latest trends.
[0030] The generation unit may be equipped with a generative AI algorithm that analyzes material information in detail and identifies the deterioration state of the material and reusable portions. The generation unit may develop a generative AI algorithm to analyze material information of, for example, surplus clothing and accessories in detail. For example, image analysis technology may be used to detect the deterioration state of the material and identify reusable portions. The generation unit may also use a generative AI algorithm to evaluate the deterioration state of the material. For example, it may detect fading or damage to the material and identify reusable portions. The generation unit may also analyze the characteristics of the material and propose the optimal reuse method. For example, it may evaluate the strength and flexibility of the material and identify reusable portions. This allows for more effective upcycling by identifying the deterioration state of the material and reusable portions.
[0031] The digitization unit can add metadata including the product's history and brand background, allowing the generation AI to generate designs that are more in line with the context. For example, when digitizing surplus inventory, the digitization unit adds metadata including the product's history and brand background. For example, the year of manufacture of the product and the brand's characteristics can be registered in a database, allowing the generation AI to generate designs that are in line with the context. The digitization unit can also add information about the product's usage scenarios and target users. For example, the purpose of use and usage scenarios of the product can be registered in a database, allowing the generation AI to generate more personalized designs. The digitization unit can also collect information about the product's history and brand background and provide it to the generation AI. For example, information about the brand's history and the product's manufacturing process can be collected, allowing the generation AI to generate designs that are more in line with the context. This makes it possible to generate designs that take the product's history and brand background into consideration, thereby providing more attractive upcycled products.
[0032] The surplus inventory acquisition unit can purchase and digitize surplus inventory not only for clothing and accessories, but also for furniture and home appliances, enabling upcycling across a wide range of product categories. For example, the surplus inventory acquisition unit can purchase and digitize surplus inventory not only for clothing and accessories, but also for furniture and home appliances. For example, it can register furniture material information and home appliance part information in a database, allowing the generative AI to generate new design proposals. The surplus inventory acquisition unit can also purchase surplus furniture and home appliance inventory. For example, it can purchase surplus furniture and home appliance inventory from brands and register that information in a database. The surplus inventory acquisition unit can also directly receive surplus furniture and home appliance inventory. This enables upcycling across a wide range of product categories, enabling more surplus inventory to be effectively utilized.
[0033] The digitization department can introduce 3D scanning technology in the digitization process and provide the generating AI with three-dimensional information about the product. For example, the digitization department can introduce 3D scanning technology in the digitization process of excess inventory and provide the generating AI with three-dimensional information about the product. For example, a 3D model of clothing or furniture can be created, allowing the generating AI to generate new design proposals. The digitization department can also use 3D scanning technology to provide three-dimensional information about the product. For example, the shape and dimensions of the product can be 3D scanned and the information can be registered in a database. The digitization department can also enable the generating AI to generate more accurate design proposals based on the three-dimensional information about the product. For example, the digitization department can analyze the three-dimensional information about the product and generate optimal design proposals. In this way, providing three-dimensional information about the product can generate more accurate design proposals.

[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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).
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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."
[0158] 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.

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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, 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. A processor also includes 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.
[0168] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
