[0105] Example 1
[0106] 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."
[0107] Elderly people face challenges in easily obtaining daily necessities and medicines, and are prone to feeling socially isolated. Current mobile sales services often lack the ability to provide products tailored to the user's health condition and preferences, and delivery routes are often not optimized for efficiency. Furthermore, they lack a system capable of responding to on-demand requests, making it difficult to respond to sudden demand. To address these issues, it is necessary to provide personalized products specifically for the elderly, establish efficient delivery routes, and promote social interaction.
[0108] 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.
[0109] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting user data including purchase history, health status, and preferences, means for generating a product list based on the collected user data, means for loading products onto a mobile food truck based on the generated product list, means for optimizing a delivery route for the mobile food truck based on the user data and traffic information, means for receiving an on-demand request from a user or a care manager, means for delivering products to the user's home or a set location based on the product list and the on-demand request, means for the mobile food truck to provide products to the user at a stop and hold a social event on the spot, means for the mobile food truck to add on-demand delivery based on the user's request, means for generating a personalized product list using an AI algorithm, and means for calculating a delivery route based on real-time traffic information. This not only enables elderly people to easily obtain the products they need, but also enables the establishment of efficient delivery routes and promotion of social interactions.
[0110] "Purchase history" is data that records details of products and services purchased by a user in the past.
[0111] "Health Status" refers to information about a user's physical and mental health, including data based on medical records and self-reporting.
[0112] "Preferences" are data that indicate a user's tendency to prefer certain types of products or services.
[0113] "User Data" refers to information including purchasing history, health status, and preferences.
[0114] A "product list" is a list of recommended products and services generated for each user based on collected user data.
[0115] A "mobile sales vehicle" is a vehicle that operates to provide products and services to users.
[0116] "Delivery route" refers to the route taken by a mobile sales vehicle to deliver goods.
[0117] An "on-demand request" is a request made by a user or care manager for an urgently needed product or service.
[0118] An "AI algorithm" is a program that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence technology to analyze data and make predictions.
[0119] "Real-time traffic information" refers to data that provides real-time information on current traffic conditions and road congestion.
[0120] "Social networking events" refer to activities such as mini-games, roundtable discussions, and seminars that are planned to encourage social interaction among seniors.
[0121] This invention is a system that utilizes AI to provide a personalized mobile sales service specifically for the elderly. Specific embodiments for carrying out this invention will be described below.
[0122] First, the server collects user data, including purchase history, health status, and preferences. This includes information entered by the user through a dedicated application, past purchase history, and the results of regular checkups. The devices used are devices such as smartphones and tablets, and the data entered through these devices is sent to the server.
[0123] For example, user A enters his or her high blood pressure information and low-salt food purchase history into the app. The device then sends the information to the server, which then stores it in a database.
[0124] Next, the server uses an AI algorithm based on the collected user data to generate a personalized product list for each user. The AI algorithm typically uses machine learning models such as TensorFlow or PyTorch. The generated product list is stored in a database for each user.
[0125] For example, the server adds low-salt foods and blood pressure monitors to the recommended product list based on User A's high blood pressure information. An AI algorithm then operates to generate the optimal product list.
[0126] The server then calculates the optimal delivery route based on the user's location data and real-time traffic information. This process uses map data and traffic information APIs such as Google Maps API. The calculation results are sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[0127] As a specific example, based on traffic information collected by the server, the most efficient route from the area where user A lives to the address of user B is calculated and sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[0128] Furthermore, the user or care manager can send an on-demand request for a product through a dedicated app. The device then sends this request to the server, which then updates the current delivery route based on the received request.
[0129] For example, if User B urgently needs a blood glucose test kit, he or she sends a request from the app. The device sends the information to the server, and the server adds User B's address to the existing route.
[0130] The mobile sales vehicle follows the optimal route received from the server and visits elderly people's homes and designated locations, providing products requested by users and products recommended by the server.
[0131] As a concrete example, a mobile food truck arrives at the home of user A and provides low-salt food and a blood pressure monitor. It then heads to its next destination, the home of user B, and delivers a blood glucose testing kit.
[0132] Furthermore, the mobile sales vans will function as a place for elderly people to interact with each other while delivering products, and events such as mini-games and roundtable discussions will be held at each stop to prevent social isolation.
[0133] As a concrete example, a mobile sales truck visits nursing homes and holds mini-games and health seminars while delivering products, thereby promoting interaction between the elderly.
[0134] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows elderly people to easily obtain daily necessities and medical products by providing personalized services according to their needs and planning efficient delivery routes.

[0184] "Health status" refers to information about the user's current physical health, and specifically includes data such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, and medical history.
[0185] "Preferences" refers to the personal preferences that a user has for specific foods or products, and are an element for providing personalized services based on these preferences.
[0186] "User Data" is a collective term for a set of information about a user, including purchasing history, health status, and preferences.
[0187] A "product list" is a list of products recommended to a user, generated based on collected user data.
[0188] A "mobile sales vehicle" is a vehicle that is loaded with merchandise and moves around to provide merchandise to users.
[0189] The "delivery route" refers to the route that the mobile sales vehicle follows to deliver goods to the user.
[0190] An "on-demand request" is a request that is sent immediately when a user or care manager needs a particular product or service.
[0191] A "smartphone application" is software that runs on a smartphone and allows users to enter user data, request products, receive product lists, and so on.
[0192] An "AI model" is an algorithm that uses artificial intelligence to analyze user data and generate personalized suggestions.
[0193] A "prompt" is text data input to a generative AI model, and is an instruction statement to obtain a specific output.
[0194] This invention utilizes AI to provide a personalized mobile sales service specifically for the elderly. The program to realize this system is configured as follows.
[0195] First, we will explain the user data collection part. The device (smartphone) collects data from the user, such as purchase history, health status, and food preferences. This data is sent to a server via a mobile application. For example, when a user enters their blood pressure value into the app, the data is saved on the server.
[0196] Next, we will explain data analysis and product list generation. The server analyzes the collected user data using AI algorithms (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and generates a personalized product list for each user. This product list includes foods and medicines that are optimal for the user's health condition and preferences. For example, the server may recommend low-salt foods to a user with high blood pressure.
[0197] Calculating the delivery route is also a very important factor. The server calculates the optimal delivery route based on the user's location data and real-time traffic information. This calculation uses route calculation algorithms such as Google Maps API. The optimal route information is sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[0198] The system also accepts on-demand delivery requests. Users or care managers can submit requests for specific items through a smartphone application. The request is sent from the device to a server, which uses the information to add additional stops to the current delivery route.
[0199] The mobile sales vehicle also provides and delivers products. The mobile sales vehicle travels around according to the optimal route received from the server and provides products to users. When users receive products, social events are also held at the same time. For example, a mobile sales vehicle may visit a nursing home and hold a roundtable discussion or health seminar while delivering products.
[0200] Smartphone applications that suggest foods based on a user's health status are very useful. The application suggests optimal foods based on the user's health information when the user inputs it. For example, if the user inputs "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-salt foods?", the AI model generates a response.
[0201] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is:
[0202] "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-sodium foods?"
[0203] "I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. What foods are good for me?"
[0204] Examples include:
[0205] As described above, this invention provides a wide range of functions in one, including user data collection, data analysis using AI, calculation of optimal delivery routes, acceptance of on-demand requests, product provision, and hosting of social events. This allows seniors to easily obtain products that meet their individual needs, while also providing a venue for social interaction, improving their quality of life.
[0206] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0207] Step 1:
[0208] A user inputs data such as health information, food preferences, and past purchasing history into a smartphone application. This data is sent from the user's device (smartphone) to a server. Examples of input data include blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and favorite foods. The server receives this data and stores it in a database. At this stage, the input is the user's health information, preferences, and purchasing history, and the output is user data stored on the server.
[0209] Step 2:
[0210] The server performs data analysis using AI algorithms (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) based on the stored user data. The data processing performed here generates a personalized product list based on the user's health condition and purchasing history. For example, this product list might suggest low-salt foods and blood pressure monitors to a user with high blood pressure. The input is the stored user data, and the output is a personalized product list.
[0211] Step 3:
[0212] The server then sends information for loading products onto the mobile sales vehicle based on the generated product list. This loading information contains detailed information about the products required by each user. For example, the server generates an inventory list of specific products based on the product list and sends it to the mobile sales vehicle management system. The input is the product list, and the output is the loading information.
[0213] Step 4:
[0214] The server optimizes the delivery routes of the mobile sales vehicles based on user data and real-time traffic information. This optimization uses route calculation algorithms such as Google Maps API. The data processing here involves calculating the most efficient route based on each user's location and real-time traffic information. The input is user location data and real-time traffic information, and the output is the optimized delivery route.
[0215] Step 5:
[0216] A user or care manager submits an on-demand request for a product through a smartphone application. This request is sent from the device to the server and added to the current delivery route. For example, the server responds by adding a new stop to the existing route. The input is the on-demand request, and the output is the updated delivery route.
[0217] Step 6:
[0218] The mobile food truck travels around according to the optimal delivery route received from the server. At each stop, the mobile food truck provides products to users and also holds social events. For example, when the mobile food truck visits a nursing home, it not only provides products but also holds mini-games and round-table discussions. The input is the optimal delivery route and product list, and the output is the delivered products and a place for positive social interaction.
[0219] Step 7:
[0220] A user uses a smartphone application to input a product request or question to the AI model. For example, "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-salt foods?" The server runs the AI model based on this prompt and provides appropriate products and information. The input is the user's prompt, and the output is the suggestions and information obtained from the AI model.
[0221] 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.
[0222] This invention utilizes AI and an emotion engine to provide a personalized mobile sales service specifically for the elderly. Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the invention will be described.
[0223] 1. Collection of User Data

[0267] Step 2:
[0268] The terminal receives the data entered by the user and sends it to the server, which then sends it to the server in the appropriate format.
[0269] Step 3:
[0270] The server stores the received user data in a database, organizing information such as purchase history, health status, and preferences, and recording it in a specific format.
[0271] Step 4:
[0272] The server uses an emotion engine to collect data to recognize the user's emotional state. For example, while the user is using the app, facial recognition technology is used to analyze facial expressions and obtain emotional data in real time.
[0273] Step 5:
[0274] The device sends the emotion data acquired from the emotion engine to the server. The device then sends the facial recognition results and emotional state data to the server.
[0275] Step 6:
[0276] The server stores the emotion data in a database and integrates it with user data for analysis. For example, when a user shows happy emotions, it can enhance the recommendation of a specific product.
[0277] Step 7:
[0278] The server uses an AI algorithm to generate a personalized product list based on user data and emotional data. Product selection and recommendations are adjusted according to the user's emotional state.
[0279] Step 8:

[0287] Step 12:
[0288] The terminal sends an on-demand request to the server.
[0289] Step 13:
[0290] The server accepts the on-demand request and recalculates and updates the current delivery route.
[0291] Step 14:
[0292] The server sends the recalculated route information to the mobile sales vehicle's terminal, which receives the information and moves along the new route.
[0293] Step 15:
[0294] The mobile sales vehicle travels according to the optimal route received from the server, visiting elderly people's homes and designated locations, and delivering the products loaded on it based on the user's personalized product list.
[0295] Step 16:
[0296] The mobile food truck arrives at its destination, offers products to users, and hosts social events at each stop, such as health seminars or mini-games.
[0297] Step 17:

[0443] The server first collects user data, including purchase history, health status, and preferences. This includes information entered by the user through a smartphone application, past purchase history, and regular checkup results. For example, User A enters his or her high blood pressure information and low-salt food purchase history into the app, and the data is sent to the server. The server stores this information in a database.
[0444] Next, the server uses emotion recognition technology to collect the user's emotional state. When a user uses a smartphone application, the camera scans their face and emotion recognition technology is used to read their emotions. This emotion data is also sent to the server and stored in a database. For example, user A's face is scanned while using an app, and the app recognizes that their emotion is happiness, and this information is sent to the server.
[0445] The server uses a generative AI model based on the collected user data and emotional state data to generate a personalized product list. This allows the server to suggest optimal products based on the user's health condition and current emotional state. For example, in the case of User A, based on information about high blood pressure and a feeling of happiness, it is possible to suggest low-salt foods as well as sweets as a special treat.
[0446] The server also calculates the optimal delivery route for the mobile sales vehicle based on user data and real-time traffic information. This optimal route information is sent to the sales vehicle's terminal. For example, the server calculates the shortest route from the area where user A lives to the address of user B, and sends this information to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[0447] Additionally, users or care managers can send on-demand requests through the application. The device sends these requests to the server, which accepts the requests and adds them to the current delivery route. For example, User B suddenly needs a blood glucose test kit and sends a request through the application. This information is sent to the server, which adds User B's address to the existing route.
[0448] Finally, the mobile sales vehicle follows the optimal route received from the server and visits the elderly person's home or other designated locations, providing the products requested or recommended by the user. For example, the sales vehicle arrives at User A's home and provides low-salt food and a sweet treat, then heads to the next destination, User B's home, to deliver a blood glucose testing kit.
[0449] In this invention, the mobile sales van can provide products to users at the stops and also hold social events on the spot. This allows elderly people to interact with each other and deepen social interactions. As a specific example, the mobile sales van can visit a nursing home and hold mini-games and health seminars while providing products, thereby promoting interaction between elderly people.
[0450] An example prompt for a generative AI model is, "Design a system that allows elderly people to input their health and emotional state via a smartphone app, and then uses AI and an emotion engine to generate a personalized food list and delivery route."
[0451] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0452] Step 1:
[0453] User Data Collection
[0454] The device collects user data (purchase history, health status, and preferences). The user enters their information through a smartphone app, and the device sends the data to a server. The server stores this data in a database. For example, this data may include information about User A's high blood pressure and preference for low-salt foods.
[0455] Step 2:
[0456] Emotion recognition data collection
[0457] The device collects data on the user's emotional state. While the user is using a smartphone app, the camera scans the user's face and sends the image to emotion recognition technology. The emotion recognition technology analyzes the image and determines the user's emotional state. The results of this determination are sent from the device to a server and stored in a database. For example, if User A is recognized as having a happy emotion while using the app, that information is sent to the server.
[0458] Step 3:
[0459] Generate personalized product lists
[0460] Based on the user data and emotional state data collected by the server, a generative AI model is used to generate a personalized product list. Input data includes health status and emotional state, and specific products are selected based on that data. For example, in the case of User A, low-salt foods and treat sweets are included in the list because User A has high blood pressure and is in a state of happiness.
[0461] Step 4:
[0462] Calculating the optimal delivery route
[0463] The server calculates the optimal delivery route for the mobile sales truck based on user data and real-time traffic information. Inputs include each user's location and current traffic conditions. The server calculates this data and calculates the shortest and most efficient route. As a result, optimal route information from a specific user's address to the next user's address is generated and sent to the mobile sales truck's terminal.
[0464] Step 5:
[0465] Accepting on-demand requests
[0466] A user or care manager sends an on-demand request through a smartphone app. The device receives this request and sends it to the server. The server accepts the request and adds the address corresponding to the request to the existing delivery route. For example, User B suddenly needs a blood glucose test kit and sends a request from the app. The information is sent to the server, and User B's address is added to the delivery route.
[0467] Step 6:
[0468] Supply and delivery of goods
[0469] The mobile sales vehicle travels according to the optimal route received from the server, and delivers products to the user's home or a specified location. Specifically, the sales vehicle arrives at the home of user A and delivers low-salt foods and sweets. It then heads to the home of user B, its next destination, and delivers a blood glucose testing kit.
[0470] Step 7:
[0471] Providing a venue for social interaction
[0472] The mobile sales truck will deliver products to users at each stop and also hold social events on the spot. This allows users to interact with each other and deepen social interactions. For example, a mobile sales truck may visit a nursing home and hold mini-games and health seminars while delivering products, promoting interaction between the elderly.
[0473] 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.
[0474] 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.

[0556] 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 glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0557] Elderly people face challenges in easily obtaining daily necessities and medicines, and are prone to feeling socially isolated. Current mobile sales services often lack the ability to provide products tailored to the user's health condition and preferences, and delivery routes are often not optimized for efficiency. Furthermore, they lack a system capable of responding to on-demand requests, making it difficult to respond to sudden demand. To address these issues, it is necessary to provide personalized products specifically for the elderly, establish efficient delivery routes, and promote social interaction.
[0558] 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.
[0559] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting user data including purchase history, health status, and preferences, means for generating a product list based on the collected user data, means for loading products onto a mobile food truck based on the generated product list, means for optimizing a delivery route for the mobile food truck based on the user data and traffic information, means for receiving an on-demand request from a user or a care manager, means for delivering products to the user's home or a set location based on the product list and the on-demand request, means for the mobile food truck to provide products to the user at a stop and hold a social event on the spot, means for the mobile food truck to add on-demand delivery based on the user's request, means for generating a personalized product list using an AI algorithm, and means for calculating a delivery route based on real-time traffic information. This not only enables elderly people to easily obtain the products they need, but also enables the establishment of efficient delivery routes and promotion of social interactions.

[0572] First, the server collects user data, including purchase history, health status, and preferences. This includes information entered by the user through a dedicated application, past purchase history, and the results of regular checkups. The devices used are devices such as smartphones and tablets, and the data entered through these devices is sent to the server.
[0573] For example, user A enters his or her high blood pressure information and low-salt food purchase history into the app. The device then sends the information to the server, which then stores it in a database.
[0574] Next, the server uses an AI algorithm based on the collected user data to generate a personalized product list for each user. The AI algorithm typically uses machine learning models such as TensorFlow or PyTorch. The generated product list is stored in a database for each user.
[0575] For example, the server adds low-salt foods and blood pressure monitors to the recommended product list based on User A's high blood pressure information. An AI algorithm then operates to generate the optimal product list.
[0576] The server then calculates the optimal delivery route based on the user's location data and real-time traffic information. This process uses map data and traffic information APIs such as Google Maps API. The calculation results are sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[0577] As a specific example, based on traffic information collected by the server, the most efficient route from the area where user A lives to the address of user B is calculated and sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[0578] Furthermore, the user or care manager can send an on-demand request for a product through a dedicated app. The device then sends this request to the server, which then updates the current delivery route based on the received request.
[0579] For example, if User B urgently needs a blood glucose test kit, he or she sends a request from the app. The device sends the information to the server, and the server adds User B's address to the existing route.
[0580] The mobile sales vehicle follows the optimal route received from the server and visits elderly people's homes and designated locations, providing products requested by users and products recommended by the server.
[0581] As a concrete example, a mobile food truck arrives at the home of user A and provides low-salt food and a blood pressure monitor. It then heads to its next destination, the home of user B, and delivers a blood glucose testing kit.
[0582] Furthermore, the mobile sales vans will function as a place for elderly people to interact with each other while delivering products, and events such as mini-games and roundtable discussions will be held at each stop to prevent social isolation.
[0583] As a concrete example, a mobile sales truck visits nursing homes and holds mini-games and health seminars while delivering products, thereby promoting interaction between the elderly.
[0584] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows elderly people to easily obtain daily necessities and medical products by providing personalized services according to their needs and planning efficient delivery routes.

[0644] This invention utilizes AI to provide a personalized mobile sales service specifically for the elderly. The program to realize this system is configured as follows.
[0645] First, we will explain the user data collection part. The device (smartphone) collects data from the user, such as purchase history, health status, and food preferences. This data is sent to a server via a mobile application. For example, when a user enters their blood pressure value into the app, the data is saved on the server.
[0646] Next, we will explain data analysis and product list generation. The server analyzes the collected user data using AI algorithms (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and generates a personalized product list for each user. This product list includes foods and medicines that are optimal for the user's health condition and preferences. For example, the server may recommend low-salt foods to a user with high blood pressure.
[0647] Calculating the delivery route is also a very important factor. The server calculates the optimal delivery route based on the user's location data and real-time traffic information. This calculation uses route calculation algorithms such as Google Maps API. The optimal route information is sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[0648] The system also accepts on-demand delivery requests. Users or care managers can submit requests for specific items through a smartphone application. The request is sent from the device to a server, which uses the information to add additional stops to the current delivery route.
[0649] The mobile sales vehicle also provides and delivers products. The mobile sales vehicle travels around according to the optimal route received from the server and provides products to users. When users receive products, social events are also held at the same time. For example, a mobile sales vehicle may visit a nursing home and hold a roundtable discussion or health seminar while delivering products.
[0650] Smartphone applications that suggest foods based on a user's health status are very useful. The application suggests optimal foods based on the user's health information when the user inputs it. For example, if the user inputs "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-salt foods?", the AI model generates a response.
[0651] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is:
[0652] "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-sodium foods?"
[0653] "I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. What foods are good for me?"
[0654] Examples include:
[0655] As described above, this invention provides a wide range of functions in one, including user data collection, data analysis using AI, calculation of optimal delivery routes, acceptance of on-demand requests, product provision, and hosting of social events. This allows seniors to easily obtain products that meet their individual needs, while also providing a venue for social interaction, improving their quality of life.
[0656] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0657] Step 1:
[0658] A user inputs data such as health information, food preferences, and past purchasing history into a smartphone application. This data is sent from the user's device (smartphone) to a server. Examples of input data include blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and favorite foods. The server receives this data and stores it in a database. At this stage, the input is the user's health information, preferences, and purchasing history, and the output is user data stored on the server.
[0659] Step 2:
[0660] The server performs data analysis using AI algorithms (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) based on the stored user data. The data processing performed here generates a personalized product list based on the user's health condition and purchasing history. For example, this product list might suggest low-salt foods and blood pressure monitors to a user with high blood pressure. The input is the stored user data, and the output is a personalized product list.
[0661] Step 3:
[0662] The server then sends information for loading products onto the mobile sales vehicle based on the generated product list. This loading information contains detailed information about the products required by each user. For example, the server generates an inventory list of specific products based on the product list and sends it to the mobile sales vehicle management system. The input is the product list, and the output is the loading information.
[0663] Step 4:
[0664] The server optimizes the delivery routes of the mobile sales vehicles based on user data and real-time traffic information. This optimization uses route calculation algorithms such as Google Maps API. The data processing here involves calculating the most efficient route based on each user's location and real-time traffic information. The input is user location data and real-time traffic information, and the output is the optimized delivery route.
[0665] Step 5:
[0666] A user or care manager submits an on-demand request for a product through a smartphone application. This request is sent from the device to the server and added to the current delivery route. For example, the server responds by adding a new stop to the existing route. The input is the on-demand request, and the output is the updated delivery route.
[0667] Step 6:
[0668] The mobile food truck travels around according to the optimal delivery route received from the server. At each stop, the mobile food truck provides products to users and also holds social events. For example, when the mobile food truck visits a nursing home, it not only provides products but also holds mini-games and round-table discussions. The input is the optimal delivery route and product list, and the output is the delivered products and a place for positive social interaction.
[0669] Step 7:
[0670] A user uses a smartphone application to input a product request or question to the AI model. For example, "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-salt foods?" The server runs the AI model based on this prompt and provides appropriate products and information. The input is the user's prompt, and the output is the suggestions and information obtained from the AI model.
[0671] 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.
[0672] This invention utilizes AI and an emotion engine to provide a personalized mobile sales service specifically for the elderly. Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the invention will be described.
[0673] 1. Collection of User Data
[0674] server
[0675] The server collects data about the user's purchasing history, health status, and preferences, including information the user enters through the app, past shopping history, and results of regular checkups. Using a device, the user enters their health information and preferences into the application, which is then sent to the server.
[0676] Specific examples
[0677] User A enters his / her high blood pressure information and low-salt food purchase history into the app. The device sends the information to the server, which stores it in a database.
[0678] 2. Use of Emotion Engine
[0679] server
[0680] In addition to user data, the server uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotional state. For example, emotions can be read through facial recognition technology while the user is using the app. This emotion data is also stored in the database.
[0681] Specific examples
[0682] When User A uses the app, the emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and recognizes that their current emotional state is happiness. This information is sent to the server and stored in the database.
[0683] 3. Analyze data and generate product list

[0702] 6. Supply and delivery of goods
[0703] Mobile sales vehicle
[0704] The mobile sales vehicle follows the optimal route received from the server and visits elderly people's homes and designated locations, providing products requested by users and recommended products.
[0705] Specific examples
[0706] The mobile food truck arrives at the home of user A and provides low-salt food and a blood pressure monitor. It then heads to the next destination, the home of user B, and delivers a blood glucose testing kit.
[0707] 7. Providing a platform for social interaction
[0708] Mobile sales vehicle
[0709] The mobile sales vans will serve as a place for seniors to interact with each other while delivering products, and will hold events such as mini-games and roundtable discussions at each stop to prevent social isolation.
[0710] Specific examples
[0711] Mobile sales trucks visit nursing homes and promote interaction between the elderly by holding mini-games and health seminars while delivering products.
[0712] summary

By combining this with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide products and social interactions based on the user's emotional state, improving their quality of life.
[0714] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0715] Step 1:
[0716] Through the application, users input data about their purchasing history, health status, and preferences. For example, a user may input information about their high blood pressure or a preference for low-salt foods.
[0717] Step 2:
[0718] The terminal receives the data entered by the user and sends it to the server, which then sends it to the server in the appropriate format.
[0719] Step 3:
[0720] The server stores the received user data in a database, organizing information such as purchase history, health status, and preferences, and recording it in a specific format.
[0721] Step 4:
[0722] The server uses an emotion engine to collect data to recognize the user's emotional state. For example, while the user is using the app, facial recognition technology is used to analyze facial expressions and obtain emotional data in real time.
[0723] Step 5:
[0724] The device sends the emotion data acquired from the emotion engine to the server. The device then sends the facial recognition results and emotional state data to the server.
[0725] Step 6:
[0726] The server stores the emotion data in a database and integrates it with user data for analysis. For example, when a user shows happy emotions, it can enhance the recommendation of a specific product.
[0727] Step 7:
[0728] The server uses an AI algorithm to generate a personalized product list based on user data and emotional data. Product selection and recommendations are adjusted according to the user's emotional state.
[0729] Step 8:
[0730] The server stores the generated product list in a database and sends it to the mobile sales vehicle, which loads the products based on this information.
[0731] Step 9:

[0735] Step 11:
[0736] A user or care manager sends an on-demand request through the app. For example, if User B urgently needs a blood glucose test kit, he or she sends this information as a request.
[0737] Step 12:
[0738] The terminal sends an on-demand request to the server.
[0739] Step 13:
[0740] The server accepts the on-demand request and recalculates and updates the current delivery route.
[0741] Step 14:
[0742] The server sends the recalculated route information to the mobile sales vehicle's terminal, which receives the information and moves along the new route.
[0743] Step 15:
[0744] The mobile sales vehicle travels according to the optimal route received from the server, visiting elderly people's homes and designated locations, and delivering the products loaded on it based on the user's personalized product list.
[0745] Step 16:
[0746] The mobile food truck arrives at its destination, offers products to users, and hosts social events at each stop, such as health seminars or mini-games.
[0747] Step 17:
[0748] Users receive the products and, if necessary, participate in events to interact with other elderly people.

[0875] (Application example 2)
[0876] 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."
[0877] Food delivery services for the elderly are required to simultaneously propose products based on not only the user's health status but also their emotional state, while improving delivery efficiency. It is also important to provide a place for social interaction and prevent isolation among the elderly. Current technology does not offer a system that comprehensively addresses these multiple factors, so a more effective system is needed to improve the quality of life for the elderly.
[0878] 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.
[0879] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting user data including purchase history, health status, and preferences, means for collecting the user's emotional state using emotion recognition technology, and means for generating a product list based on the collected user data and emotional state data. This makes it possible to generate a personalized product list based on the user's health status and emotional state, select an optimal delivery route, and provide appropriate products and services to elderly people. In addition, by having the mobile sales van deliver products to users at each stop and holding social events on the spot, it is possible to provide a place for social interaction among elderly people and prevent isolation.
[0880] "Purchase history" is a list of products purchased by the user in the past, along with detailed information about those products.
[0881] "Health status" refers to information related to the user's physical condition and medical care, such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, and allergy information.
[0882] "Preferences" are information about things that a user particularly likes or wants to avoid.
[0883] "Emotion recognition technology" is a technology that uses facial recognition, voice analysis, etc. to identify a user's emotional state.
[0884] "User Data" refers collectively to data including purchasing history, health status, preferences, and other personal information.
[0885] "Emotional state data" is data relating to the user's emotions obtained using emotion recognition technology.
[0886] The "product list" is a list of products to be recommended to the user, generated based on the user data and emotional state data.
[0887] A "mobile sales vehicle" is a vehicle that can stop at a designated location and provide products.
[0888] "Traffic information" refers to information related to traffic, such as road congestion and traffic regulations, that is collected in real time.
[0889] An "on-demand request" is a request to order a product made on the spot by a user or a care manager.
[0890] A "social interaction space" is a space or opportunity where users can interact and socialize with each other when providing products.
[0891] "Generative AI model" is a general term for artificial intelligence algorithms that generate product lists, etc. based on user data and emotional state data.
[0892] This invention is a system for providing a personalized food delivery service specifically for the elderly using AI and an emotion engine. The following describes in detail an embodiment of this invention.
[0893] The server first collects user data, including purchase history, health status, and preferences. This includes information entered by the user through a smartphone application, past purchase history, and regular checkup results. For example, User A enters his or her high blood pressure information and low-salt food purchase history into the app, and the data is sent to the server. The server stores this information in a database.
[0894] Next, the server uses emotion recognition technology to collect the user's emotional state. When a user uses a smartphone application, the camera scans their face and emotion recognition technology is used to read their emotions. This emotion data is also sent to the server and stored in a database. For example, user A's face is scanned while using an app, and the app recognizes that their emotion is happiness, and this information is sent to the server.
[0895] The server uses a generative AI model based on the collected user data and emotional state data to generate a personalized product list. This allows the server to suggest optimal products based on the user's health condition and current emotional state. For example, in the case of User A, based on information about high blood pressure and a feeling of happiness, it is possible to suggest low-salt foods as well as sweets as a special treat.
[0896] The server also calculates the optimal delivery route for the mobile sales vehicle based on user data and real-time traffic information. This optimal route information is sent to the sales vehicle's terminal. For example, the server calculates the shortest route from the area where user A lives to the address of user B, and sends this information to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[0897] Additionally, users or care managers can send on-demand requests through the application. The device sends these requests to the server, which accepts the requests and adds them to the current delivery route. For example, User B suddenly needs a blood glucose test kit and sends a request through the application. This information is sent to the server, which adds User B's address to the existing route.
[0898] Finally, the mobile sales vehicle follows the optimal route received from the server and visits the elderly person's home or other designated locations, providing the products requested or recommended by the user. For example, the sales vehicle arrives at User A's home and provides low-salt food and a sweet treat, then heads to the next destination, User B's home, to deliver a blood glucose testing kit.
[0899] In this invention, the mobile sales van can provide products to users at the stops and also hold social events on the spot. This allows elderly people to interact with each other and deepen social interactions. As a specific example, the mobile sales van can visit a nursing home and hold mini-games and health seminars while providing products, thereby promoting interaction between elderly people.
[0900] An example prompt for a generative AI model is, "Design a system that allows elderly people to input their health and emotional state via a smartphone app, and then uses AI and an emotion engine to generate a personalized food list and delivery route."
[0901] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0902] Step 1:
[0903] User Data Collection
[0904] The device collects user data (purchase history, health status, and preferences). The user enters their information through a smartphone app, and the device sends the data to a server. The server stores this data in a database. For example, this data may include information about User A's high blood pressure and preference for low-salt foods.
[0905] Step 2:
[0906] Emotion recognition data collection
[0907] The device collects data on the user's emotional state. While the user is using a smartphone app, the camera scans the user's face and sends the image to emotion recognition technology. The emotion recognition technology analyzes the image and determines the user's emotional state. The results of this determination are sent from the device to a server and stored in a database. For example, if User A is recognized as having a happy emotion while using the app, that information is sent to the server.
[0908] Step 3:
[0909] Generate personalized product lists
[0910] Based on the user data and emotional state data collected by the server, a generative AI model is used to generate a personalized product list. Input data includes health status and emotional state, and specific products are selected based on that data. For example, in the case of User A, low-salt foods and treat sweets are included in the list because User A has high blood pressure and is in a state of happiness.
[0911] Step 4:
[0912] Calculating the optimal delivery route
[0913] The server calculates the optimal delivery route for the mobile sales truck based on user data and real-time traffic information. Inputs include each user's location and current traffic conditions. The server calculates this data and calculates the shortest and most efficient route. As a result, optimal route information from a specific user's address to the next user's address is generated and sent to the mobile sales truck's terminal.
[0914] Step 5:
[0915] Accepting on-demand requests
[0916] A user or care manager sends an on-demand request through a smartphone app. The device receives this request and sends it to the server. The server accepts the request and adds the address corresponding to the request to the existing delivery route. For example, User B suddenly needs a blood glucose test kit and sends a request from the app. The information is sent to the server, and User B's address is added to the delivery route.
[0917] Step 6:
[0918] Supply and delivery of goods
[0919] The mobile sales vehicle travels according to the optimal route received from the server, and delivers products to the user's home or a specified location. Specifically, the sales vehicle arrives at the home of user A and delivers low-salt foods and sweets. It then heads to the home of user B, its next destination, and delivers a blood glucose testing kit.
[0920] Step 7:
[0921] Providing a venue for social interaction
[0922] The mobile sales truck will deliver products to users at each stop and also hold social events on the spot. This allows users to interact with each other and deepen social interactions. For example, a mobile sales truck may visit a nursing home and hold mini-games and health seminars while delivering products, promoting interaction between the elderly.
[0923] 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.
[0924] 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.

[1005] Example 1
[1006] 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."
[1007] Elderly people face challenges in easily obtaining daily necessities and medicines, and are prone to feeling socially isolated. Current mobile sales services often lack the ability to provide products tailored to the user's health condition and preferences, and delivery routes are often not optimized for efficiency. Furthermore, they lack a system capable of responding to on-demand requests, making it difficult to respond to sudden demand. To address these issues, it is necessary to provide personalized products specifically for the elderly, establish efficient delivery routes, and promote social interaction.
[1008] 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.
[1009] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting user data including purchase history, health status, and preferences, means for generating a product list based on the collected user data, means for loading products onto a mobile food truck based on the generated product list, means for optimizing a delivery route for the mobile food truck based on the user data and traffic information, means for receiving an on-demand request from a user or a care manager, means for delivering products to the user's home or a set location based on the product list and the on-demand request, means for the mobile food truck to provide products to the user at a stop and hold a social event on the spot, means for the mobile food truck to add on-demand delivery based on the user's request, means for generating a personalized product list using an AI algorithm, and means for calculating a delivery route based on real-time traffic information. This not only enables elderly people to easily obtain the products they need, but also enables the establishment of efficient delivery routes and promotion of social interactions.

[1014] A "product list" is a list of recommended products and services generated for each user based on collected user data.
[1015] A "mobile sales vehicle" is a vehicle that operates to provide products and services to users.
[1016] "Delivery route" refers to the route taken by a mobile sales vehicle to deliver goods.
[1017] An "on-demand request" is a request made by a user or care manager for an urgently needed product or service.
[1018] An "AI algorithm" is a program that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence technology to analyze data and make predictions.
[1019] "Real-time traffic information" refers to data that provides real-time information on current traffic conditions and road congestion.
[1020] "Social networking events" refer to activities such as mini-games, roundtable discussions, and seminars that are planned to encourage social interaction among seniors.
[1021] This invention is a system that utilizes AI to provide a personalized mobile sales service specifically for the elderly. Specific embodiments for carrying out this invention will be described below.
[1022] First, the server collects user data, including purchase history, health status, and preferences. This includes information entered by the user through a dedicated application, past purchase history, and the results of regular checkups. The devices used are devices such as smartphones and tablets, and the data entered through these devices is sent to the server.
[1023] For example, user A enters his or her high blood pressure information and low-salt food purchase history into the app. The device then sends the information to the server, which then stores it in a database.
[1024] Next, the server uses an AI algorithm based on the collected user data to generate a personalized product list for each user. The AI algorithm typically uses machine learning models such as TensorFlow or PyTorch. The generated product list is stored in a database for each user.
[1025] For example, the server adds low-salt foods and blood pressure monitors to the recommended product list based on User A's high blood pressure information. An AI algorithm then operates to generate the optimal product list.
[1026] The server then calculates the optimal delivery route based on the user's location data and real-time traffic information. This process uses map data and traffic information APIs such as Google Maps API. The calculation results are sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[1027] As a specific example, based on traffic information collected by the server, the most efficient route from the area where user A lives to the address of user B is calculated and sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[1028] Furthermore, the user or care manager can send an on-demand request for a product through a dedicated app. The device then sends this request to the server, which then updates the current delivery route based on the received request.
[1029] For example, if User B urgently needs a blood glucose test kit, he or she sends a request from the app. The device sends the information to the server, and the server adds User B's address to the existing route.
[1030] The mobile sales vehicle follows the optimal route received from the server and visits elderly people's homes and designated locations, providing products requested by users and products recommended by the server.
[1031] As a concrete example, a mobile food truck arrives at the home of user A and provides low-salt food and a blood pressure monitor. It then heads to its next destination, the home of user B, and delivers a blood glucose testing kit.
[1032] Furthermore, the mobile sales vans will function as a place for elderly people to interact with each other while delivering products, and events such as mini-games and roundtable discussions will be held at each stop to prevent social isolation.
[1033] As a concrete example, a mobile sales truck visits nursing homes and holds mini-games and health seminars while delivering products, thereby promoting interaction between the elderly.
[1034] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows elderly people to easily obtain daily necessities and medical products by providing personalized services according to their needs and planning efficient delivery routes.

[1078] (Application example 1)
[1079] 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."
[1080] In modern society, the increasing elderly population has become a major social issue, particularly as it becomes more difficult for the elderly to easily obtain daily necessities and groceries. Furthermore, elderly people often require specific foods and medicines depending on their health condition, requiring personalized recommendations. Furthermore, opportunities for interaction to prevent social isolation are also important. However, existing services have difficulty efficiently and consistently meeting these needs. Therefore, the present invention provides a system to solve these problems.
[1081] 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.
[1082] In this invention, the server includes: means for collecting user data including purchase history, health status, and preferences; means for generating a product list based on the collected user data; means for loading products onto a mobile food truck based on the generated product list; means for optimizing a delivery route for the mobile food truck based on the user data and traffic information; means for receiving an on-demand request from a user or a care manager; means for delivering products to the user's home or a set location based on the product list and the on-demand request; means for the mobile food truck to provide products to the user at a stop and hold a social event on the spot; a smartphone application for suggesting foods based on the user's health status; a smartphone application for transmitting a request for products desired by the user; and means for making personalized product suggestions using an AI model. This allows elderly people to easily obtain products that meet their individual needs and also provides a forum for social interaction, improving their quality of life.
[1083] "Purchase history" is a list of products that a user has purchased in the past, which allows the user's preferences and consumption patterns to be understood.
[1084] "Health status" refers to information about the user's current physical health, and specifically includes data such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, and medical history.
[1085] "Preferences" refers to the personal preferences that a user has for specific foods or products, and are an element for providing personalized services based on these preferences.
[1086] "User Data" is a collective term for a set of information about a user, including purchasing history, health status, and preferences.
[1087] A "product list" is a list of products recommended to a user, generated based on collected user data.
[1088] A "mobile sales vehicle" is a vehicle that is loaded with merchandise and moves around to provide merchandise to users.
[1089] The "delivery route" refers to the route that the mobile sales vehicle follows to deliver goods to the user.
[1090] An "on-demand request" is a request that is sent immediately when a user or care manager needs a particular product or service.
[1091] A "smartphone application" is software that runs on a smartphone and allows users to enter user data, request products, receive product lists, and so on.
[1092] An "AI model" is an algorithm that uses artificial intelligence to analyze user data and generate personalized suggestions.
[1093] A "prompt" is text data input to a generative AI model, and is an instruction statement to obtain a specific output.
[1094] This invention utilizes AI to provide a personalized mobile sales service specifically for the elderly. The program to realize this system is configured as follows.
[1095] First, we will explain the user data collection part. The device (smartphone) collects data from the user, such as purchase history, health status, and food preferences. This data is sent to a server via a mobile application. For example, when a user enters their blood pressure value into the app, the data is saved on the server.
[1096] Next, we will explain data analysis and product list generation. The server analyzes the collected user data using AI algorithms (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and generates a personalized product list for each user. This product list includes foods and medicines that are optimal for the user's health condition and preferences. For example, the server may recommend low-salt foods to a user with high blood pressure.
[1097] Calculating the delivery route is also a very important factor. The server calculates the optimal delivery route based on the user's location data and real-time traffic information. This calculation uses route calculation algorithms such as Google Maps API. The optimal route information is sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[1098] The system also accepts on-demand delivery requests. Users or care managers can submit requests for specific items through a smartphone application. The request is sent from the device to a server, which uses the information to add additional stops to the current delivery route.
[1099] The mobile sales vehicle also provides and delivers products. The mobile sales vehicle travels around according to the optimal route received from the server and provides products to users. When users receive products, social events are also held at the same time. For example, a mobile sales vehicle may visit a nursing home and hold a roundtable discussion or health seminar while delivering products.
[1100] Smartphone applications that suggest foods based on a user's health status are very useful. The application suggests optimal foods based on the user's health information when the user inputs it. For example, if the user inputs "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-salt foods?", the AI model generates a response.
[1101] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is:
[1102] "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-sodium foods?"
[1103] "I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. What foods are good for me?"
[1104] Examples include:
[1105] As described above, this invention provides a wide range of functions in one, including user data collection, data analysis using AI, calculation of optimal delivery routes, acceptance of on-demand requests, product provision, and hosting of social events. This allows seniors to easily obtain products that meet their individual needs, while also providing a venue for social interaction, improving their quality of life.
[1106] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1107] Step 1:
[1108] A user inputs data such as health information, food preferences, and past purchasing history into a smartphone application. This data is sent from the user's device (smartphone) to a server. Examples of input data include blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and favorite foods. The server receives this data and stores it in a database. At this stage, the input is the user's health information, preferences, and purchasing history, and the output is user data stored on the server.
[1109] Step 2:
[1110] The server performs data analysis using AI algorithms (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) based on the stored user data. The data processing performed here generates a personalized product list based on the user's health condition and purchasing history. For example, this product list might suggest low-salt foods and blood pressure monitors to a user with high blood pressure. The input is the stored user data, and the output is a personalized product list.
[1111] Step 3:
[1112] The server then sends information for loading products onto the mobile sales vehicle based on the generated product list. This loading information contains detailed information about the products required by each user. For example, the server generates an inventory list of specific products based on the product list and sends it to the mobile sales vehicle management system. The input is the product list, and the output is the loading information.
[1113] Step 4:
[1114] The server optimizes the delivery routes of the mobile sales vehicles based on user data and real-time traffic information. This optimization uses route calculation algorithms such as Google Maps API. The data processing here involves calculating the most efficient route based on each user's location and real-time traffic information. The input is user location data and real-time traffic information, and the output is the optimized delivery route.
[1115] Step 5:
[1116] A user or care manager submits an on-demand request for a product through a smartphone application. This request is sent from the device to the server and added to the current delivery route. For example, the server responds by adding a new stop to the existing route. The input is the on-demand request, and the output is the updated delivery route.
[1117] Step 6:
[1118] The mobile food truck travels around according to the optimal delivery route received from the server. At each stop, the mobile food truck provides products to users and also holds social events. For example, when the mobile food truck visits a nursing home, it not only provides products but also holds mini-games and round-table discussions. The input is the optimal delivery route and product list, and the output is the delivered products and a place for positive social interaction.
[1119] Step 7:
[1120] A user uses a smartphone application to input a product request or question to the AI model. For example, "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-salt foods?" The server runs the AI model based on this prompt and provides appropriate products and information. The input is the user's prompt, and the output is the suggestions and information obtained from the AI model.
[1121] 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.
[1122] This invention utilizes AI and an emotion engine to provide a personalized mobile sales service specifically for the elderly. Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the invention will be described.
[1123] 1. Collection of User Data

[1169] Step 3:
[1170] The server stores the received user data in a database, organizing information such as purchase history, health status, and preferences, and recording it in a specific format.
[1171] Step 4:
[1172] The server uses an emotion engine to collect data to recognize the user's emotional state. For example, while the user is using the app, facial recognition technology is used to analyze facial expressions and obtain emotional data in real time.
[1173] Step 5:
[1174] The device sends the emotion data acquired from the emotion engine to the server. The device then sends the facial recognition results and emotional state data to the server.
[1175] Step 6:
[1176] The server stores the emotion data in a database and integrates it with user data for analysis. For example, when a user shows happy emotions, it can enhance the recommendation of a specific product.
[1177] Step 7:
[1178] The server uses an AI algorithm to generate a personalized product list based on user data and emotional data. Product selection and recommendations are adjusted according to the user's emotional state.
[1179] Step 8:

[1185] Step 11:
[1186] A user or care manager sends an on-demand request through the app. For example, if User B urgently needs a blood glucose test kit, he or she sends this information as a request.
[1187] Step 12:
[1188] The terminal sends an on-demand request to the server.
[1189] Step 13:
[1190] The server accepts the on-demand request and recalculates and updates the current delivery route.
[1191] Step 14:
[1192] The server sends the recalculated route information to the mobile sales vehicle's terminal, which receives the information and moves along the new route.
[1193] Step 15:
[1194] The mobile sales vehicle travels according to the optimal route received from the server, visiting elderly people's homes and designated locations, and delivering the products loaded on it based on the user's personalized product list.
[1195] Step 16:
[1196] The mobile food truck arrives at its destination, offers products to users, and hosts social events at each stop, such as health seminars or mini-games.
[1197] Step 17:
[1198] Users receive the products and, if necessary, participate in events to interact with other elderly people.

[1325] (Application example 2)
[1326] 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."
[1327] Food delivery services for the elderly are required to simultaneously propose products based on not only the user's health status but also their emotional state, while improving delivery efficiency. It is also important to provide a place for social interaction and prevent isolation among the elderly. Current technology does not offer a system that comprehensively addresses these multiple factors, so a more effective system is needed to improve the quality of life for the elderly.
[1328] 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.
[1329] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting user data including purchase history, health status, and preferences, means for collecting the user's emotional state using emotion recognition technology, and means for generating a product list based on the collected user data and emotional state data. This makes it possible to generate a personalized product list based on the user's health status and emotional state, select an optimal delivery route, and provide appropriate products and services to elderly people. In addition, by having the mobile sales van deliver products to users at each stop and holding social events on the spot, it is possible to provide a place for social interaction among elderly people and prevent isolation.
[1330] "Purchase history" is a list of products purchased by the user in the past, along with detailed information about those products.
[1331] "Health status" refers to information related to the user's physical condition and medical care, such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, and allergy information.
[1332] "Preferences" are information about things that a user particularly likes or wants to avoid.
[1333] "Emotion recognition technology" is a technology that uses facial recognition, voice analysis, etc. to identify a user's emotional state.
[1334] "User Data" refers collectively to data including purchasing history, health status, preferences, and other personal information.
[1335] "Emotional state data" is data relating to the user's emotions obtained using emotion recognition technology.
[1336] The "product list" is a list of products to be recommended to the user, generated based on the user data and emotional state data.
[1337] A "mobile sales vehicle" is a vehicle that can stop at a designated location and provide products.
[1338] "Traffic information" refers to information related to traffic, such as road congestion and traffic regulations, that is collected in real time.
[1339] An "on-demand request" is a request to order a product made on the spot by a user or a care manager.
[1340] A "social interaction space" is a space or opportunity where users can interact and socialize with each other when providing products.
[1341] "Generative AI model" is a general term for artificial intelligence algorithms that generate product lists, etc. based on user data and emotional state data.
[1342] This invention is a system for providing a personalized food delivery service specifically for the elderly using AI and an emotion engine. The following describes in detail an embodiment of this invention.
[1343] The server first collects user data, including purchase history, health status, and preferences. This includes information entered by the user through a smartphone application, past purchase history, and regular checkup results. For example, User A enters his or her high blood pressure information and low-salt food purchase history into the app, and the data is sent to the server. The server stores this information in a database.
[1344] Next, the server uses emotion recognition technology to collect the user's emotional state. When a user uses a smartphone application, the camera scans their face and emotion recognition technology is used to read their emotions. This emotion data is also sent to the server and stored in a database. For example, user A's face is scanned while using an app, and the app recognizes that their emotion is happiness, and this information is sent to the server.
[1345] The server uses a generative AI model based on the collected user data and emotional state data to generate a personalized product list. This allows the server to suggest optimal products based on the user's health condition and current emotional state. For example, in the case of User A, based on information about high blood pressure and a feeling of happiness, it is possible to suggest low-salt foods as well as sweets as a special treat.
[1346] The server also calculates the optimal delivery route for the mobile sales vehicle based on user data and real-time traffic information. This optimal route information is sent to the sales vehicle's terminal. For example, the server calculates the shortest route from the area where user A lives to the address of user B, and sends this information to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[1347] Additionally, users or care managers can send on-demand requests through the application. The device sends these requests to the server, which accepts the requests and adds them to the current delivery route. For example, User B suddenly needs a blood glucose test kit and sends a request through the application. This information is sent to the server, which adds User B's address to the existing route.
[1348] Finally, the mobile sales vehicle follows the optimal route received from the server and visits the elderly person's home or other designated locations, providing the products requested or recommended by the user. For example, the sales vehicle arrives at User A's home and provides low-salt food and a sweet treat, then heads to the next destination, User B's home, to deliver a blood glucose testing kit.
[1349] In this invention, the mobile sales van can provide products to users at the stops and also hold social events on the spot. This allows elderly people to interact with each other and deepen social interactions. As a specific example, the mobile sales van can visit a nursing home and hold mini-games and health seminars while providing products, thereby promoting interaction between elderly people.
[1350] An example prompt for a generative AI model is, "Design a system that allows elderly people to input their health and emotional state via a smartphone app, and then uses AI and an emotion engine to generate a personalized food list and delivery route."
[1351] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1352] Step 1:
[1353] User Data Collection
[1354] The device collects user data (purchase history, health status, and preferences). The user enters their information through a smartphone app, and the device sends the data to a server. The server stores this data in a database. For example, this data may include information about User A's high blood pressure and preference for low-salt foods.
[1355] Step 2:
[1356] Emotion recognition data collection
[1357] The device collects data on the user's emotional state. While the user is using a smartphone app, the camera scans the user's face and sends the image to emotion recognition technology. The emotion recognition technology analyzes the image and determines the user's emotional state. The results of this determination are sent from the device to a server and stored in a database. For example, if User A is recognized as having a happy emotion while using the app, that information is sent to the server.
[1358] Step 3:
[1359] Generate personalized product lists
[1360] Based on the user data and emotional state data collected by the server, a generative AI model is used to generate a personalized product list. Input data includes health status and emotional state, and specific products are selected based on that data. For example, in the case of User A, low-salt foods and treat sweets are included in the list because User A has high blood pressure and is in a state of happiness.
[1361] Step 4:
[1362] Calculating the optimal delivery route
[1363] The server calculates the optimal delivery route for the mobile sales truck based on user data and real-time traffic information. Inputs include each user's location and current traffic conditions. The server calculates this data and calculates the shortest and most efficient route. As a result, optimal route information from a specific user's address to the next user's address is generated and sent to the mobile sales truck's terminal.
[1364] Step 5:
[1365] Accepting on-demand requests
[1366] A user or care manager sends an on-demand request through a smartphone app. The device receives this request and sends it to the server. The server accepts the request and adds the address corresponding to the request to the existing delivery route. For example, User B suddenly needs a blood glucose test kit and sends a request from the app. The information is sent to the server, and User B's address is added to the delivery route.
[1367] Step 6:
[1368] Supply and delivery of goods
[1369] The mobile sales vehicle travels according to the optimal route received from the server, and delivers products to the user's home or a specified location. Specifically, the sales vehicle arrives at the home of user A and delivers low-salt foods and sweets. It then heads to the home of user B, its next destination, and delivers a blood glucose testing kit.
[1370] Step 7:
[1371] Providing a venue for social interaction
[1372] The mobile sales truck will deliver products to users at each stop and also hold social events on the spot. This allows users to interact with each other and deepen social interactions. For example, a mobile sales truck may visit a nursing home and hold mini-games and health seminars while delivering products, promoting interaction between the elderly.
[1373] 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.
[1374] 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.
[1375] 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 headset type terminal 314.

[1456] Example 1
[1457] 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."
[1458] Elderly people face challenges in easily obtaining daily necessities and medicines, and are prone to feeling socially isolated. Current mobile sales services often lack the ability to provide products tailored to the user's health condition and preferences, and delivery routes are often not optimized for efficiency. Furthermore, they lack a system capable of responding to on-demand requests, making it difficult to respond to sudden demand. To address these issues, it is necessary to provide personalized products specifically for the elderly, establish efficient delivery routes, and promote social interaction.
[1459] 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.
[1460] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting user data including purchase history, health status, and preferences, means for generating a product list based on the collected user data, means for loading products onto a mobile food truck based on the generated product list, means for optimizing a delivery route for the mobile food truck based on the user data and traffic information, means for receiving an on-demand request from a user or a care manager, means for delivering products to the user's home or a set location based on the product list and the on-demand request, means for the mobile food truck to provide products to the user at a stop and hold a social event on the spot, means for the mobile food truck to add on-demand delivery based on the user's request, means for generating a personalized product list using an AI algorithm, and means for calculating a delivery route based on real-time traffic information. This not only enables elderly people to easily obtain the products they need, but also enables the establishment of efficient delivery routes and promotion of social interactions.

[1465] A "product list" is a list of recommended products and services generated for each user based on collected user data.
[1466] A "mobile sales vehicle" is a vehicle that operates to provide products and services to users.
[1467] "Delivery route" refers to the route taken by a mobile sales vehicle to deliver goods.
[1468] An "on-demand request" is a request made by a user or care manager for an urgently needed product or service.
[1469] An "AI algorithm" is a program that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence technology to analyze data and make predictions.
[1470] "Real-time traffic information" refers to data that provides real-time information on current traffic conditions and road congestion.
[1471] "Social networking events" refer to activities such as mini-games, roundtable discussions, and seminars that are planned to encourage social interaction among seniors.
[1472] This invention is a system that utilizes AI to provide a personalized mobile sales service specifically for the elderly. Specific embodiments for carrying out this invention will be described below.
[1473] First, the server collects user data, including purchase history, health status, and preferences. This includes information entered by the user through a dedicated application, past purchase history, and the results of regular checkups. The devices used are devices such as smartphones and tablets, and the data entered through these devices is sent to the server.
[1474] For example, user A enters his or her high blood pressure information and low-salt food purchase history into the app. The device then sends the information to the server, which then stores it in a database.
[1475] Next, the server uses an AI algorithm based on the collected user data to generate a personalized product list for each user. The AI algorithm typically uses machine learning models such as TensorFlow or PyTorch. The generated product list is stored in a database for each user.
[1476] For example, the server adds low-salt foods and blood pressure monitors to the recommended product list based on User A's high blood pressure information. An AI algorithm then operates to generate the optimal product list.
[1477] The server then calculates the optimal delivery route based on the user's location data and real-time traffic information. This process uses map data and traffic information APIs such as Google Maps API. The calculation results are sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[1478] As a specific example, based on traffic information collected by the server, the most efficient route from the area where user A lives to the address of user B is calculated and sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[1479] Furthermore, the user or care manager can send an on-demand request for a product through a dedicated app. The device then sends this request to the server, which then updates the current delivery route based on the received request.
[1480] For example, if User B urgently needs a blood glucose test kit, he or she sends a request from the app. The device sends the information to the server, and the server adds User B's address to the existing route.
[1481] The mobile sales vehicle follows the optimal route received from the server and visits elderly people's homes and designated locations, providing products requested by users and products recommended by the server.
[1482] As a concrete example, a mobile food truck arrives at the home of user A and provides low-salt food and a blood pressure monitor. It then heads to its next destination, the home of user B, and delivers a blood glucose testing kit.
[1483] Furthermore, the mobile sales vans will function as a place for elderly people to interact with each other while delivering products, and events such as mini-games and roundtable discussions will be held at each stop to prevent social isolation.
[1484] As a concrete example, a mobile sales truck visits nursing homes and holds mini-games and health seminars while delivering products, thereby promoting interaction between the elderly.
[1485] In this way, the present invention provides a system that allows elderly people to easily obtain daily necessities and medical products by providing personalized services according to their needs and planning efficient delivery routes.

[1529] (Application example 1)
[1530] 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."
[1531] In modern society, the increasing elderly population has become a major social issue, particularly as it becomes more difficult for the elderly to easily obtain daily necessities and groceries. Furthermore, elderly people often require specific foods and medicines depending on their health condition, requiring personalized recommendations. Furthermore, opportunities for interaction to prevent social isolation are also important. However, existing services have difficulty efficiently and consistently meeting these needs. Therefore, the present invention provides a system to solve these problems.
[1532] 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.
[1533] In this invention, the server includes: means for collecting user data including purchase history, health status, and preferences; means for generating a product list based on the collected user data; means for loading products onto a mobile food truck based on the generated product list; means for optimizing a delivery route for the mobile food truck based on the user data and traffic information; means for receiving an on-demand request from a user or a care manager; means for delivering products to the user's home or a set location based on the product list and the on-demand request; means for the mobile food truck to provide products to the user at a stop and hold a social event on the spot; a smartphone application for suggesting foods based on the user's health status; a smartphone application for transmitting a request for products desired by the user; and means for making personalized product suggestions using an AI model. This allows elderly people to easily obtain products that meet their individual needs and also provides a forum for social interaction, improving their quality of life.
[1534] "Purchase history" is a list of products that a user has purchased in the past, which allows the user's preferences and consumption patterns to be understood.
[1535] "Health status" refers to information about the user's current physical health, and specifically includes data such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, and medical history.
[1536] "Preferences" refers to the personal preferences that a user has for specific foods or products, and are an element for providing personalized services based on these preferences.
[1537] "User Data" is a collective term for a set of information about a user, including purchasing history, health status, and preferences.
[1538] A "product list" is a list of products recommended to a user, generated based on collected user data.
[1539] A "mobile sales vehicle" is a vehicle that is loaded with merchandise and moves around to provide merchandise to users.
[1540] The "delivery route" refers to the route that the mobile sales vehicle follows to deliver goods to the user.
[1541] An "on-demand request" is a request that is sent immediately when a user or care manager needs a particular product or service.
[1542] A "smartphone application" is software that runs on a smartphone and allows users to enter user data, request products, receive product lists, and so on.
[1543] An "AI model" is an algorithm that uses artificial intelligence to analyze user data and generate personalized suggestions.
[1544] A "prompt" is text data input to a generative AI model, and is an instruction statement to obtain a specific output.
[1545] This invention utilizes AI to provide a personalized mobile sales service specifically for the elderly. The program to realize this system is configured as follows.
[1546] First, we will explain the user data collection part. The device (smartphone) collects data from the user, such as purchase history, health status, and food preferences. This data is sent to a server via a mobile application. For example, when a user enters their blood pressure value into the app, the data is saved on the server.
[1547] Next, we will explain data analysis and product list generation. The server analyzes the collected user data using AI algorithms (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and generates a personalized product list for each user. This product list includes foods and medicines that are optimal for the user's health condition and preferences. For example, the server may recommend low-salt foods to a user with high blood pressure.
[1548] Calculating the delivery route is also a very important factor. The server calculates the optimal delivery route based on the user's location data and real-time traffic information. This calculation uses route calculation algorithms such as Google Maps API. The optimal route information is sent to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[1549] The system also accepts on-demand delivery requests. Users or care managers can submit requests for specific items through a smartphone application. The request is sent from the device to a server, which uses the information to add additional stops to the current delivery route.
[1550] The mobile sales vehicle also provides and delivers products. The mobile sales vehicle travels around according to the optimal route received from the server and provides products to users. When users receive products, social events are also held at the same time. For example, a mobile sales vehicle may visit a nursing home and hold a roundtable discussion or health seminar while delivering products.
[1551] Smartphone applications that suggest foods based on a user's health status are very useful. The application suggests optimal foods based on the user's health information when the user inputs it. For example, if the user inputs "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-salt foods?", the AI model generates a response.
[1552] An example of a prompt for a generative AI model is:
[1553] "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-sodium foods?"
[1554] "I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. What foods are good for me?"
[1555] Examples include:
[1556] As described above, this invention provides a wide range of functions in one, including user data collection, data analysis using AI, calculation of optimal delivery routes, acceptance of on-demand requests, product provision, and hosting of social events. This allows seniors to easily obtain products that meet their individual needs, while also providing a venue for social interaction, improving their quality of life.
[1557] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1558] Step 1:
[1559] A user inputs data such as health information, food preferences, and past purchasing history into a smartphone application. This data is sent from the user's device (smartphone) to a server. Examples of input data include blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and favorite foods. The server receives this data and stores it in a database. At this stage, the input is the user's health information, preferences, and purchasing history, and the output is user data stored on the server.
[1560] Step 2:
[1561] The server performs data analysis using AI algorithms (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) based on the stored user data. The data processing performed here generates a personalized product list based on the user's health condition and purchasing history. For example, this product list might suggest low-salt foods and blood pressure monitors to a user with high blood pressure. The input is the stored user data, and the output is a personalized product list.
[1562] Step 3:
[1563] The server then sends information for loading products onto the mobile sales vehicle based on the generated product list. This loading information contains detailed information about the products required by each user. For example, the server generates an inventory list of specific products based on the product list and sends it to the mobile sales vehicle management system. The input is the product list, and the output is the loading information.
[1564] Step 4:
[1565] The server optimizes the delivery routes of the mobile sales vehicles based on user data and real-time traffic information. This optimization uses route calculation algorithms such as Google Maps API. The data processing here involves calculating the most efficient route based on each user's location and real-time traffic information. The input is user location data and real-time traffic information, and the output is the optimized delivery route.
[1566] Step 5:
[1567] A user or care manager submits an on-demand request for a product through a smartphone application. This request is sent from the device to the server and added to the current delivery route. For example, the server responds by adding a new stop to the existing route. The input is the on-demand request, and the output is the updated delivery route.
[1568] Step 6:
[1569] The mobile food truck travels around according to the optimal delivery route received from the server. At each stop, the mobile food truck provides products to users and also holds social events. For example, when the mobile food truck visits a nursing home, it not only provides products but also holds mini-games and round-table discussions. The input is the optimal delivery route and product list, and the output is the delivered products and a place for positive social interaction.
[1570] Step 7:
[1571] A user uses a smartphone application to input a product request or question to the AI model. For example, "I have high blood pressure. Can you recommend some low-salt foods?" The server runs the AI model based on this prompt and provides appropriate products and information. The input is the user's prompt, and the output is the suggestions and information obtained from the AI model.
[1572] 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.
[1573] This invention utilizes AI and an emotion engine to provide a personalized mobile sales service specifically for the elderly. Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the invention will be described.
[1574] 1. Collection of User Data
[1575] server
[1576] The server collects data about the user's purchasing history, health status, and preferences, including information the user enters through the app, past shopping history, and results of regular checkups. Using a device, the user enters their health information and preferences into the application, which is then sent to the server.
[1577] Specific examples
[1578] User A enters his / her high blood pressure information and low-salt food purchase history into the app. The device sends the information to the server, which stores it in a database.
[1579] 2. Use of Emotion Engine
[1580] server
[1581] In addition to user data, the server uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotional state. For example, emotions can be read through facial recognition technology while the user is using the app. This emotion data is also stored in the database.
[1582] Specific examples
[1583] When User A uses the app, the emotion engine analyzes the user's facial expressions and recognizes that their current emotional state is happiness. This information is sent to the server and stored in the database.
[1584] 3. Analyze data and generate product list
[1585] server
[1586] Based on the collected user data and emotional data, the server uses an AI algorithm to generate a personalized product list for each user, adjusting product selection and suggestions depending on the user's emotional state.
[1587] Specific examples
[1588] Based on the user A's high blood pressure information and the analysis results of the emotion engine, the server adds low-salt foods to the recommended product list, and further suggests special foods when the emotion is happy.
[1589] 4. Calculating delivery routes and notifying mobile sales vehicles

[1603] 6. Supply and delivery of goods
[1604] Mobile sales vehicle
[1605] The mobile sales vehicle follows the optimal route received from the server and visits elderly people's homes and designated locations, providing products requested by users and recommended products.
[1606] Specific examples
[1607] The mobile food truck arrives at the home of user A and provides low-salt food and a blood pressure monitor. It then heads to the next destination, the home of user B, and delivers a blood glucose testing kit.
[1608] 7. Providing a platform for social interaction
[1609] Mobile sales vehicle
[1610] The mobile sales vans will serve as a place for seniors to interact with each other while delivering products, and will hold events such as mini-games and roundtable discussions at each stop to prevent social isolation.
[1611] Specific examples
[1612] Mobile sales trucks visit nursing homes and promote interaction between the elderly by holding mini-games and health seminars while delivering products.
[1613] summary

By combining this with an emotion engine, it is possible to provide products and social interactions based on the user's emotional state, improving their quality of life.
[1615] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1616] Step 1:
[1617] Through the application, users input data about their purchasing history, health status, and preferences. For example, a user may input information about their high blood pressure or a preference for low-salt foods.
[1618] Step 2:
[1619] The terminal receives the data entered by the user and sends it to the server, which then sends it to the server in the appropriate format.
[1620] Step 3:
[1621] The server stores the received user data in a database, organizing information such as purchase history, health status, and preferences, and recording it in a specific format.
[1622] Step 4:
[1623] The server uses an emotion engine to collect data to recognize the user's emotional state. For example, while the user is using the app, facial recognition technology is used to analyze facial expressions and obtain emotional data in real time.
[1624] Step 5:
[1625] The device sends the emotion data acquired from the emotion engine to the server. The device then sends the facial recognition results and emotional state data to the server.
[1626] Step 6:
[1627] The server stores the emotion data in a database and integrates it with user data for analysis. For example, when a user shows happy emotions, it can enhance the recommendation of a specific product.
[1628] Step 7:
[1629] The server uses an AI algorithm to generate a personalized product list based on user data and emotional data. Product selection and recommendations are adjusted according to the user's emotional state.
[1630] Step 8:
[1631] The server stores the generated product list in a database and sends it to the mobile sales vehicle, which loads the products based on this information.
[1632] Step 9:
[1633] The server collects user location data and real-time traffic information and calculates the optimal delivery route.
[1634] Step 10:
[1635] The server calculates the optimal route and sends it to the mobile sales vehicle's terminal, which receives this information and sets the navigation according to the instructions.
[1636] Step 11:
[1637] A user or care manager sends an on-demand request through the app. For example, if User B urgently needs a blood glucose test kit, he or she sends this information as a request.
[1638] Step 12:
[1639] The terminal sends an on-demand request to the server.
[1640] Step 13:
[1641] The server accepts the on-demand request and recalculates and updates the current delivery route.
[1642] Step 14:
[1643] The server sends the recalculated route information to the mobile sales vehicle's terminal, which receives the information and moves along the new route.
[1644] Step 15:
[1645] The mobile sales vehicle travels according to the optimal route received from the server, visiting elderly people's homes and designated locations, and delivering the products loaded on it based on the user's personalized product list.
[1646] Step 16:
[1647] The mobile food truck arrives at its destination, offers products to users, and hosts social events at each stop, such as health seminars or mini-games.
[1648] Step 17:
[1649] Users receive the products and, if necessary, participate in events to interact with other elderly people.

[1652] In mobile sales services for the elderly, conventional services have difficulty proposing products according to the user's health condition and individual preferences, and have not sufficiently improved convenience and satisfaction. Furthermore, while efficiency can be improved by calculating optimal delivery routes, providing a place for interaction to prevent social isolation among the elderly has not been fully realized.
[1653] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting user information including purchase history, health status, and preferences, means for generating a product list based on the collected user information and emotion data, means for loading products onto a mobile sales vehicle based on the generated product list, means for optimizing a delivery route of the mobile sales vehicle based on user location data and traffic information, means for accepting on-demand requests from users or care managers, means for delivering products to the user's home or a designated location based on the product list and the on-demand request, and means for the mobile sales vehicle to provide products to users at stops and hold social events on the spot. This enables personalized product provision and efficient delivery according to the individual needs of elderly people and prevents social isolation through interaction between elderly people.

[1776] (Application example 2)
[1777] 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."
[1778] Food delivery services for the elderly are required to simultaneously propose products based on not only the user's health status but also their emotional state, while improving delivery efficiency. It is also important to provide a place for social interaction and prevent isolation among the elderly. Current technology does not offer a system that comprehensively addresses these multiple factors, so a more effective system is needed to improve the quality of life for the elderly.
[1779] 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.
[1780] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting user data including purchase history, health status, and preferences, means for collecting the user's emotional state using emotion recognition technology, and means for generating a product list based on the collected user data and emotional state data. This makes it possible to generate a personalized product list based on the user's health status and emotional state, select an optimal delivery route, and provide appropriate products and services to elderly people. In addition, by having the mobile sales van deliver products to users at each stop and holding social events on the spot, it is possible to provide a place for social interaction among elderly people and prevent isolation.
[1781] "Purchase history" is a list of products purchased by the user in the past, along with detailed information about those products.
[1782] "Health status" refers to information related to the user's physical condition and medical care, such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, and allergy information.
[1783] "Preferences" are information about things that a user particularly likes or wants to avoid.
[1784] "Emotion recognition technology" is a technology that uses facial recognition, voice analysis, etc. to identify a user's emotional state.
[1785] "User Data" refers collectively to data including purchasing history, health status, preferences, and other personal information.
[1786] "Emotional state data" is data relating to the user's emotions obtained using emotion recognition technology.
[1787] The "product list" is a list of products to be recommended to the user, generated based on the user data and emotional state data.
[1788] A "mobile sales vehicle" is a vehicle that can stop at a designated location and provide products.
[1789] "Traffic information" refers to information related to traffic, such as road congestion and traffic regulations, that is collected in real time.
[1790] An "on-demand request" is a request to order a product made on the spot by a user or a care manager.
[1791] A "social interaction space" is a space or opportunity where users can interact and socialize with each other when providing products.
[1792] "Generative AI model" is a general term for artificial intelligence algorithms that generate product lists, etc. based on user data and emotional state data.
[1793] This invention is a system for providing a personalized food delivery service specifically for the elderly using AI and an emotion engine. The following describes in detail an embodiment of this invention.
[1794] The server first collects user data, including purchase history, health status, and preferences. This includes information entered by the user through a smartphone application, past purchase history, and regular checkup results. For example, User A enters his or her high blood pressure information and low-salt food purchase history into the app, and the data is sent to the server. The server stores this information in a database.
[1795] Next, the server uses emotion recognition technology to collect the user's emotional state. When a user uses a smartphone application, the camera scans their face and emotion recognition technology is used to read their emotions. This emotion data is also sent to the server and stored in a database. For example, user A's face is scanned while using an app, and the app recognizes that their emotion is happiness, and this information is sent to the server.
[1796] The server uses a generative AI model based on the collected user data and emotional state data to generate a personalized product list. This allows the server to suggest optimal products based on the user's health condition and current emotional state. For example, in the case of User A, based on information about high blood pressure and a feeling of happiness, it is possible to suggest low-salt foods as well as sweets as a special treat.
[1797] The server also calculates the optimal delivery route for the mobile sales vehicle based on user data and real-time traffic information. This optimal route information is sent to the sales vehicle's terminal. For example, the server calculates the shortest route from the area where user A lives to the address of user B, and sends this information to the navigation system of the mobile sales vehicle.
[1798] Additionally, users or care managers can send on-demand requests through the application. The device sends these requests to the server, which accepts the requests and adds them to the current delivery route. For example, User B suddenly needs a blood glucose test kit and sends a request through the application. This information is sent to the server, which adds User B's address to the existing route.
[1799] Finally, the mobile sales vehicle follows the optimal route received from the server and visits the elderly person's home or other designated locations, providing the products requested or recommended by the user. For example, the sales vehicle arrives at User A's home and provides low-salt food and a sweet treat, then heads to the next destination, User B's home, to deliver a blood glucose testing kit.
[1800] In this invention, the mobile sales van can provide products to users at the stops and also hold social events on the spot. This allows elderly people to interact with each other and deepen social interactions. As a specific example, the mobile sales van can visit a nursing home and hold mini-games and health seminars while providing products, thereby promoting interaction between elderly people.
[1801] An example prompt for a generative AI model is, "Design a system that allows elderly people to input their health and emotional state via a smartphone app, and then uses AI and an emotion engine to generate a personalized food list and delivery route."
[1802] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1803] Step 1:
[1804] User Data Collection
[1805] The device collects user data (purchase history, health status, and preferences). The user enters their information through a smartphone app, and the device sends the data to a server. The server stores this data in a database. For example, this data may include information about User A's high blood pressure and preference for low-salt foods.
[1806] Step 2:
[1807] Emotion recognition data collection
[1808] The device collects data on the user's emotional state. While the user is using a smartphone app, the camera scans the user's face and sends the image to emotion recognition technology. The emotion recognition technology analyzes the image and determines the user's emotional state. The results of this determination are sent from the device to a server and stored in a database. For example, if User A is recognized as having a happy emotion while using the app, that information is sent to the server.
[1809] Step 3:
[1810] Generate personalized product lists
[1811] Based on the user data and emotional state data collected by the server, a generative AI model is used to generate a personalized product list. Input data includes health status and emotional state, and specific products are selected based on that data. For example, in the case of User A, low-salt foods and treat sweets are included in the list because User A has high blood pressure and is in a state of happiness.
[1812] Step 4:
[1813] Calculating the optimal delivery route
[1814] The server calculates the optimal delivery route for the mobile sales truck based on user data and real-time traffic information. Inputs include each user's location and current traffic conditions. The server calculates this data and calculates the shortest and most efficient route. As a result, optimal route information from a specific user's address to the next user's address is generated and sent to the mobile sales truck's terminal.
[1815] Step 5:
[1816] Accepting on-demand requests
[1817] A user or care manager sends an on-demand request through a smartphone app. The device receives this request and sends it to the server. The server accepts the request and adds the address corresponding to the request to the existing delivery route. For example, User B suddenly needs a blood glucose test kit and sends a request from the app. The information is sent to the server, and User B's address is added to the delivery route.
[1818] Step 6:
[1819] Supply and delivery of goods
[1820] The mobile sales vehicle travels according to the optimal route received from the server, and delivers products to the user's home or a specified location. Specifically, the sales vehicle arrives at the home of user A and delivers low-salt foods and sweets. It then heads to the home of user B, its next destination, and delivers a blood glucose testing kit.
[1821] Step 7:
[1822] Providing a venue for social interaction
[1823] The mobile sales truck will deliver products to users at each stop and also hold social events on the spot. This allows users to interact with each other and deepen social interactions. For example, a mobile sales truck may visit a nursing home and hold mini-games and health seminars while delivering products, promoting interaction between the elderly.
[1824] 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.
[1825] 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.
[1826] 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.
[1827] 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.
[1828] 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.
[1829] 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.
[1830] 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).
[1831] 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.
[1832] 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."
[1833] 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.
[1834] 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).
[1835] 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.
[1836] 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.
[1837] 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.
[1838] 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.
[1839] 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.
[1840] 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.
[1841] 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.
[1842] 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.
