[0028] (Example 1) The ingredient suggestion app according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that suggests optimal ingredient combinations and substitutes based on a user's preferences and nutritional needs, allowing the user to easily create a nutritionally balanced meal that is tailored to their needs.
[0029] The ingredient suggestion app according to the embodiment includes a preference collection unit, a nutritional analysis unit, and a substitute suggestion unit. The preference collection unit collects user preferences and nutritional needs. For example, the user inputs information such as favorite ingredients, ingredients to avoid, and preferences for specific nutrients. The preference collection unit can also automatically analyze the user's dietary history and predict preferences based on past preference patterns. For example, the preference collection unit can analyze the user's dietary history and identify frequently selected ingredients and dishes. The preference collection unit can also acquire the user's health status and exercise volume from a wearable device and dynamically adjust nutritional needs. For example, the preference collection unit can acquire the user's heart rate and step count data from the wearable device and provide nutritional suggestions based on the user's exercise volume. The nutritional analysis unit analyzes nutritional balance based on the information collected by the preference collection unit. For example, if the user wants to increase their vitamin C intake, the nutritional analysis unit can suggest ingredients rich in vitamin C. The nutritional analysis unit can also analyze the user's genetic information and suggest nutritional balance based on the user's individual genetic characteristics. For example, if the absorption efficiency of a particular vitamin or mineral is low, the substitute suggestion unit suggests ingredients that are rich in that nutrient. The substitute suggestion unit suggests optimal ingredients and substitutes based on the results of the analysis by the nutrition analysis unit. For example, if a user wants to avoid dairy products, the substitute suggestion unit suggests substitutes such as almond milk or soy milk. The substitute suggestion unit can also analyze the user's allergy information in detail and suggest substitutes that do not contain allergens. For example, almond milk or soy milk is suggested for a user with a dairy allergy. This allows the ingredient suggestion app according to the embodiment to suggest optimal ingredients and substitutes based on the user's preferences and nutritional needs. For example, users can easily create meals that suit their preferences and nutritional needs and consume a balanced amount of nutrients necessary to maintain their health.
[0030] The preference collection unit can automatically analyze the meal history and predict preferences based on preference patterns. For example, the preference collection unit analyzes the meal history entered by the user in the past to identify frequently selected ingredients and dishes. For example, it lists ingredients that the user eats three or more times a week to understand preference trends. The preference collection unit can also analyze preference patterns from the past meal history to predict the user's preferences. For example, if the user tends to like a particular ingredient, it will preferentially suggest that ingredient. This makes it possible to predict preferences based on the user's past preference patterns.
[0031] The preference collection unit can acquire the user's health condition and amount of exercise from the wearable device and dynamically adjust nutritional needs. For example, the preference collection unit acquires the user's heart rate and step count data from the wearable device and makes nutritional suggestions based on the amount of exercise. For example, on days when the user exercises a lot, it can suggest high-protein foods. The preference collection unit can also monitor the user's health condition and dynamically adjust nutritional needs. For example, it can adjust the nutritional balance based on the user's weight and blood pressure data. This makes it possible to dynamically adjust nutritional needs according to the user's health condition and amount of exercise.
[0032] The preference collection unit allows users to share their preferences and nutritional needs with family and friends and jointly create meal plans. The preference collection unit provides a function for sharing, for example, the preferences and nutritional needs entered by the user with family and friends and jointly creating meal plans. For example, it may suggest menus that reflect the preferences of all family members. The preference collection unit may also jointly create meal plans based on information shared with family and friends. For example, it may suggest meal plans that take into account the nutritional balance of all family members. This allows users to share their preferences and nutritional needs with family and friends and jointly create meal plans.
[0033] The preference collection unit can dynamically change preferences according to the season or local specialties.

For example, watermelon and tomatoes are suggested in summer, and pumpkins and radishes in winter. The preference collection unit can also dynamically change the user's preferences based on local specialty product data. For example, local agricultural products are suggested. This allows the user's preferences to be dynamically changed according to the season or local specialties.
[0034] The nutritional analysis unit can analyze genetic information and suggest a nutritional balance based on genetic characteristics. The nutritional analysis unit, for example, analyzes a user's genetic information and builds a system that suggests a nutritional balance based on genetic characteristics. For example, if the absorption efficiency of a particular vitamin or mineral is low, ingredients that contain a lot of that nutrient are suggested. The nutritional analysis unit can also suggest an optimal nutritional balance for a user based on genetic information. For example, if a user is genetically prone to a deficiency in a particular nutrient, ingredients that supplement that nutrient are suggested. This makes it possible to suggest an optimal nutritional balance based on the user's genetic characteristics.
[0035] The nutritional analysis unit can analyze the state of the intestinal flora and suggest ingredients that are optimal for the intestinal environment. The nutritional analysis unit, for example, analyzes the state of the user's intestinal flora and builds a system that suggests ingredients that are optimal for the intestinal environment. For example, it can suggest yogurt or kimchi to increase beneficial bacteria. The nutritional analysis unit can also suggest ingredients that are optimal for the user based on the state of the intestinal flora. For example, it can suggest ingredients that will improve the intestinal environment. This makes it possible to suggest optimal ingredients based on the user's intestinal environment.
[0036] The nutritional analysis unit can analyze nutritional balance in an integrated manner with health data.

[0125] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.
[0126] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0128] Fig. 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset type terminal 314. As shown in Fig. 6, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.
[0129] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0130] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0131] In the headset type terminal 314, the identification process is performed by the processor 46. A identification program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48.

Note that the headset type terminal 314 may also have a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.
[0132] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

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.
[0134] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0151] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414.

[0152] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0153] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0154] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0155] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0156] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0157] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0158] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.
[0159] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.
[0160] 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.
[0161] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0162] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
[0163] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[0164] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0165] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0166] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0167] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.

For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure.
