[0028] (Example 1) The 3D Interior Planner according to an embodiment of the present invention is an interior planning service that utilizes AI technology to generate a 3D model of a space simply by a user taking a photo of the room using a smartphone or tablet. This allows the user to easily plan the interior of the room and realize their ideal space.

[0029] A 3D interior planner according to an embodiment includes a photographing unit, a dimension determination unit, a 3D model generation unit, an interior proposal unit, a simulation unit, a design proposal unit, and an ordering unit. The photographing unit allows a user to photograph a room using a smartphone or tablet. For example, the user can simply photograph the four corners of the room, and the photographing unit acquires the data. The photographing unit can also capture a panoramic image of the entire room. The dimension determination unit automatically determines the dimensions of the room from the photographed data acquired by the photographing unit. For example, the dimension determination unit measures the dimensions of the walls and floors using image analysis technology. The dimension determination unit can also measure the dimensions of the room using a sensor. The 3D model generation unit generates a detailed 3D model based on the dimensions determined by the dimension determination unit. For example, the 3D model generation unit creates a 3D model of the room using dedicated software. The 3D model generation unit can also integrate multiple photographed data to improve the accuracy of the model. The interior proposal unit analyzes the user's interior preferences, image, and budget, and proposes furniture avatars that match their needs. For example, the interior proposal department analyzes user preferences based on survey data and past purchase history. The interior proposal department also uses generative AI to create an interior plan based on the user's requests. The simulation department arranges avatars of furniture proposed by the interior proposal department in a virtual space and simulates the layout. For example, the simulation department allows the user to find the optimal layout by trial and error when arranging sofas and tables. The simulation department can also display the furniture layout in the virtual space in real time. The design proposal department proposes designs for custom-made furniture when furniture that meets the user's needs is not commercially available. For example, the design proposal department proposes designs for storage shelves and tables based on the user's requests. The design proposal department can also create optimal designs using generative AI. The ordering department places an order for the design proposed by the design proposal department with a partner factory. For example, the ordering department sends design data to the factory and requests the production of custom-made furniture. The ordering department can also manage the progress of production.As a result, the 3D interior planner according to the embodiment allows users to easily plan the interior of a room and realize their ideal space. For example, users can accurately grasp the dimensions of a room and arrange the furniture they desire in a virtual space, allowing them to check the optimal layout before actually purchasing it. Furthermore, custom-made furniture can be proposed to meet the individual needs of users.

[0030] When the camera captures a room, the generation AI displays the dimensions in real time, allowing the user to check them as they proceed with the shoot. For example, when a user takes a picture of a room with a smartphone or tablet, the generation AI displays the dimensions of the walls and floors on the screen in real time. For example, when the camera is pointed at a corner of the room, the distance from corner to corner is instantly displayed. The camera also updates the displayed dimensions in real time so that the user can check them as they proceed with the shoot. For example, when the user moves the camera, the displayed dimensions change accordingly. This allows the user to check the dimensions in real time as they proceed with the shoot, preventing shooting errors.

[0031] The 3D model generation unit can automatically recognize the materials and textures of a room based on the captured data and reflect them in the 3D model. For example, the 3D model generation unit analyzes the captured data, and the generation AI automatically recognizes the materials and textures of walls and floors. For example, it identifies materials such as wood, tile, and carpet and reflects them in the 3D model. The 3D model generation unit also analyzes the details of the texture and reproduces realistic textures. For example, it accurately reproduces the patterns on walls and the texture of floors. Furthermore, the 3D model generation unit integrates multiple captured data to generate a more detailed 3D model. For example, it combines data captured from different angles to accurately reproduce the materials and textures of the entire room. This automatically recognizes the materials and textures of a room and provides a more realistic 3D model.

[0032] During a furniture layout simulation in a virtual space, the generation AI evaluates the flow lines and usability of the furniture layout in real time, and can propose the optimal layout. For example, when arranging furniture in a virtual space, the simulation unit has the generation AI evaluate the flow lines and usability in real time and propose the optimal layout. For example, the furniture layout is adjusted so that it does not obstruct the flow lines. The simulation unit also evaluates the usability of the furniture layout and proposes the optimal layout for the user. For example, it evaluates whether the furniture layout is easy to use and finds the optimal layout. Furthermore, the simulation unit displays the evaluation results in real time, making it easier for the user to adjust the layout. For example, it displays the evaluation results on a screen and updates them each time the user changes the layout. This makes it possible to evaluate the flow lines and usability of the furniture layout in real time and propose the optimal layout.

[0033] When proposing designs for custom-made furniture, the design proposal unit allows the generation AI to learn the user's past purchase history and preferences, enabling it to propose more accurate designs. For example, the design proposal unit stores the user's past purchase history and preferences in a database, and the generation AI learns from that data. For example, it analyzes trends in the design and materials of furniture purchased in the past. The design proposal unit also proposes designs that suit the user's preferences based on the learned data. For example, it proposes custom-made furniture that reflects the user's preferred designs and colors. Furthermore, the design proposal unit can customize the design according to the user's requests. For example, it adjusts the size and shape to fit a specific space. This allows it to learn the user's past purchase history and preferences and propose more accurate designs.

[0034] The interior proposal unit learns the user's past interior selection history and can make more accurate suggestions. For example, the interior proposal unit stores the user's past interior selection history in a database, and the generation AI learns from that data. For example, it analyzes trends in furniture and interior items selected in the past. The interior proposal unit also uses the learned data to propose interior plans that match the user's preferences. For example, it creates interior plans that reflect the user's preferred styles and colors. Furthermore, the interior proposal unit can customize proposals according to the user's requests. For example, it can propose the optimal interior items within a specific budget. This allows the unit to learn the user's past interior selection history and make more accurate suggestions.

[0035] The interior proposal unit allows the generation AI to automatically visualize the preferences and images verbally communicated by the user and allow the user to confirm them. For example, the generation AI automatically visualizes the preferences and images verbally communicated by the user. For example, it visualizes a request such as "a modern design in black and white" and allows the user to confirm it. The interior proposal unit also makes specific suggestions to the user based on the visualized image. For example, it suggests optimal furniture and interior items based on the visualized image. Furthermore, the interior proposal unit can adjust the suggestions while the user is checking the visualized image. For example, the user can change the color or design while looking at the image. In this way, the preferences and images verbally communicated by the user can be visualized and confirmed, allowing for a more specific interior plan to be proposed.

[0036] The simulation unit can have the generation AI simulate the acoustic and lighting effects resulting from the furniture arrangement when simulating furniture arrangement in the virtual space and provide the results to the user. For example, when arranging furniture in the virtual space, the simulation unit has the generation AI simulate the acoustic and lighting effects and provide the results to the user. For example, the simulation unit adjusts the furniture arrangement to take into account the effects of sound reverberation and lighting. The simulation unit also suggests an optimal arrangement to the user based on the acoustic and lighting effects. For example, the simulation unit changes the furniture arrangement to reduce sound reverberation. Furthermore, the simulation unit displays the simulation results in real time, making it easier for the user to adjust the arrangement. For example, the simulation results are displayed on a screen and updated each time the user changes the arrangement. This allows the acoustic and lighting effects resulting from the furniture arrangement to be simulated and provided to the user.

[0037] The photography unit stores photographed data of a room in the cloud and makes it accessible from different devices, allowing multiple users to collaborate on interior planning. The photography unit, for example, stores photographed data of a room in the cloud and makes it accessible from different devices. For example, data photographed with a smartphone can be uploaded to the cloud and made accessible from a tablet or PC. The photography unit also provides a data sharing function so that multiple users can collaborate on interior planning. For example, planning can be carried out together with family and friends. Furthermore, the photography unit manages data on the cloud and ensures security. For example, data encryption and access control are performed. This allows multiple users to collaborate on interior planning.

[0038] The interior proposal unit can add a function that allows a user to share their preferences and images with other users and receive feedback within the community. The interior proposal unit adds, for example, a function that allows a user to share their preferences and images with other users and receive feedback within the community. For example, an interior plan can be shared and comments and ratings can be received from other users. The interior proposal unit also improves the proposal based on the shared feedback. For example, it creates an interior plan that reflects the opinions of other users. Furthermore, the interior proposal unit provides a function to promote interaction within the community. For example, a chat function that allows users to exchange opinions with each other can be added. This allows a user to share their preferences and images with other users and receive feedback within the community.

[0039] The interior proposal unit allows the AI ​​that generates interior preferences and images to automatically post them on social media, thereby widely soliciting opinions. For example, the interior proposal unit allows the AI ​​that generates the user's preferences and images to automatically post them on social media, thereby widely soliciting opinions. For example, the AI ​​shares an interior plan on social media and collects comments and ratings from followers. The interior proposal unit also improves its proposal based on the collected opinions. For example, it creates an interior plan that reflects the opinions of followers. Furthermore, the interior proposal unit provides functions to promote interaction on social media. For example, it adds a comment function that allows users to exchange opinions with each other. This allows users to post interior preferences and images on social media and widely solicit opinions.

[0040] The design proposal unit can add a function to share design proposals for custom-made furniture with other users and obtain feedback. The design proposal unit adds a function to share design proposals for custom-made furniture with other users and obtain feedback, for example, by sharing the design proposal on a social networking site and collecting comments and ratings from other users. The design proposal unit also improves the proposal based on the shared feedback, for example, by creating a design that reflects the opinions of other users. Furthermore, the design proposal unit provides a function to promote interaction within the community, for example, by adding a chat function that allows users to exchange opinions with each other. This allows design proposals for custom-made furniture to be shared with other users and obtain feedback.

[0041] The design proposal unit allows the AI ​​that generates the design proposal to automatically post it on social media, thereby widely soliciting opinions. For example, the design proposal unit allows the AI ​​that generates the design proposal for custom-made furniture to automatically post it on social media, thereby widely soliciting opinions. For example, the design proposal is shared on social media, and comments and ratings are collected from followers. The design proposal unit also improves the proposal based on the collected opinions. For example, it creates a design that reflects the opinions of followers. Furthermore, the design proposal unit provides functions to promote interaction on social media. For example, it adds a comment function that allows users to exchange opinions with each other. This allows the design proposal to be posted on social media, thereby widely soliciting opinions.

[0042] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0043] The interior suggestion unit can make suggestions that take into account the user's health condition. For example, if the user has allergies, it can suggest furniture made from allergen-free materials. The interior suggestion unit can also suggest interior items that promote health based on the user's lifestyle. For example, it can suggest a chair that supports posture for a user who often sits for long periods of time. Furthermore, the interior suggestion unit can create an optimal interior plan based on the user's health data. For example, it can suggest beds and lighting that will improve the quality of sleep.

[0044] When simulating furniture layout in a virtual space, the generation AI evaluates the energy efficiency of the furniture layout and can propose the optimal layout. For example, the furniture layout is adjusted to make the most of natural light. The simulation unit also proposes the optimal layout for the user based on energy efficiency. For example, the furniture layout is changed to improve heating and cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the simulation unit displays the evaluation results in real time, making it easier for the user to adjust the layout. For example, the evaluation results are displayed on the screen and updated each time the user changes the layout. This makes it possible to evaluate the energy efficiency of furniture layout and propose the optimal layout.

[0045] When the camera captures a room, the generation AI displays the color balance in real time, allowing the user to check it as they proceed with the shoot. For example, when a user takes a picture of a room with a smartphone or tablet, the generation AI displays the color balance of the walls and floor on the screen in real time. For example, if the user points the camera at a corner of the room, the color balance from corner to corner is instantly displayed. The camera also updates the color balance display in real time so that the user can check it as they proceed with the shoot. For example, if the user moves the camera, the displayed color balance changes accordingly. This allows the user to check the color balance in real time as they proceed with the shoot, preventing shooting errors.

[0046] The photography unit stores photographed data of a room in the cloud and makes it accessible from different devices, allowing multiple users to collaborate on interior planning. For example, room photographed data can be stored in the cloud and made accessible from different devices. For example, data taken with a smartphone can be uploaded to the cloud and made accessible from a tablet or PC. The photography unit also provides a data sharing function so that multiple users can collaborate on interior planning. For example, planning can be carried out together with family and friends. Furthermore, the photography unit manages data on the cloud and ensures security. For example, data encryption and access control are performed. This allows multiple users to collaborate on interior planning.

[0047] When simulating furniture placement in a virtual space, the generation AI can also simulate the acoustic and lighting effects resulting from the furniture placement and provide them to the user. For example, when placing furniture in a virtual space, the generation AI simulates the acoustic and lighting effects and provides them to the user. For example, the furniture placement is adjusted to take into account the effects of sound reverberation and lighting. The simulation unit also suggests an optimal placement to the user based on the acoustic and lighting effects. For example, the furniture placement may be changed to reduce sound reverberation. Furthermore, the simulation unit displays the simulation results in real time, making it easier for the user to adjust the placement. For example, the simulation results may be displayed on a screen and updated each time the user changes the placement. This allows the acoustic and lighting effects resulting from the furniture placement to be simulated and provided to the user.

The interior proposal department also uses generative AI to create an interior plan based on the user's requests. The simulation department arranges avatars of furniture proposed by the interior proposal department in a virtual space and simulates the layout. For example, the simulation department allows the user to find the optimal layout by trial and error when arranging sofas and tables. The simulation department can also display the furniture layout in the virtual space in real time. The design proposal department proposes designs for custom-made furniture when furniture that meets the user's needs is not commercially available. For example, the design proposal department proposes designs for storage shelves and tables based on the user's requests. The design proposal department can also create optimal designs using generative AI. The ordering department places an order for the design proposed by the design proposal department with a partner factory. For example, the ordering department sends design data to the factory and requests the production of custom-made furniture. The ordering department can also manage the progress of production.As a result, the 3D interior planner according to the embodiment allows users to easily plan the interior of a room and realize their ideal space. For example, users can accurately grasp the dimensions of a room and arrange the furniture they desire in a virtual space, allowing them to check the optimal layout before actually purchasing it. Furthermore, custom-made furniture can be proposed to meet the individual needs of users.

[0053] When the camera captures a room, the generation AI displays the dimensions in real time, allowing the user to check them as they proceed with the shoot. For example, when a user takes a picture of a room with a smartphone or tablet, the generation AI displays the dimensions of the walls and floors on the screen in real time. For example, when the camera is pointed at a corner of the room, the distance from corner to corner is instantly displayed. The camera also updates the displayed dimensions in real time so that the user can check them as they proceed with the shoot.

For example, the simulation unit adjusts the furniture arrangement to take into account the effects of sound reverberation and lighting. The simulation unit also suggests an optimal arrangement to the user based on the acoustic and lighting effects. For example, the simulation unit changes the furniture arrangement to reduce sound reverberation. Furthermore, the simulation unit displays the simulation results in real time, making it easier for the user to adjust the arrangement. For example, the simulation results are displayed on a screen and updated each time the user changes the arrangement. This allows the acoustic and lighting effects resulting from the furniture arrangement to be simulated and provided to the user.

[0060] The simulation unit can use the emotion estimation function to measure the level of satisfaction felt by the user during the simulation in real time and propose the layout that provides the highest level of satisfaction.

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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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).

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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."

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
