[0037] The data analysis unit can track the user's eating patterns and nutritional balance over the long term based on the analysis results of the food photos and suggest areas for improvement. The data analysis unit, for example, stores the analysis results of the food photos in a database and tracks the user's eating patterns and nutritional balance over the long term. For example, it records the contents of daily meals. The data analysis unit also suggests areas for improvement to the user's eating patterns and nutritional balance based on the analysis results. For example, it can suggest ingredients to make up for nutrient deficiencies. This makes it possible to improve the user's eating patterns and nutritional balance.

[0038] The data analysis unit can compare the analysis results of the meal photos with the data of other users and provide a benchmark. The data analysis unit, for example, compares the analysis results of the meal photos with the data of other users and provides a benchmark. For example, it compares the diet of users of the same age or with the same health goals. The data analysis unit also suggests improvements to the user's diet based on the benchmark results. For example, it can suggest ingredients to supplement nutrients that are lacking compared to other users. This allows the user to improve their diet by comparing with the data of other users.

[0039] The data analysis unit can save the analysis results of the meal photos as the user's meal history and compare it with past data to evaluate progress. The data analysis unit, for example, saves the analysis results of the meal photos as the user's meal history in a database. For example, it records the contents of daily meals. The data analysis unit also compares it with past data to evaluate the progress of the user's eating habits. For example, it can evaluate the degree of improvement in nutritional balance and revise the meal plan as necessary. This makes it possible to improve eating habits by evaluating progress based on the user's meal history.

[0040] The data analysis unit not only reflects the analysis results of the meal photos in the user's meal plan, but can also provide recipe suggestions and ingredient shopping lists. The data analysis unit, for example, customizes the user's meal plan based on the analysis results of the meal photos. For example, it proposes meal menus that take nutritional balance into consideration. The data analysis unit also provides recipe suggestions and ingredient shopping lists. For example, it can generate a list of necessary ingredients based on the proposed meal menu and suggest where to purchase them. This makes meal management easier by providing recipe suggestions and ingredient shopping lists in addition to the user's meal plan.

[0041] When integrating multimodal data, the data analysis unit performs a detailed analysis of the correlations between the data, enabling the provision of a more accurate health plan. The data analysis unit, for example, integrates multimodal data and performs a detailed analysis of the correlations between the data. For example, it evaluates the relationship between dietary data and exercise data. The data analysis unit also provides a more accurate health plan based on the results of the correlation analysis. For example, it can propose a health plan that takes into account the balance between dietary content and exercise volume. This makes it possible to provide a more accurate health plan by analyzing the correlations between the data in detail.

[0042] The data analysis unit can predict the user's health condition using multimodal data and suggest preventive measures. The data analysis unit, for example, analyzes the multimodal data and predicts the user's health condition. For example, it evaluates health risks based on dietary data and exercise data. The data analysis unit also suggests appropriate preventive measures based on the predicted health condition. For example, it can recommend exercise or dietary improvements. This allows the user's health condition to be predicted and appropriate preventive measures to be suggested, thereby improving health management.

[0043] The data analysis unit can integrate the multimodal data with other health data to provide comprehensive health management.

[0055] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0056] Step 1: The information gathering unit collects information about the user's health goals, lifestyle, food likes and dislikes, and allergies. For example, if a user says, "I want to lose weight," the information gathering unit will ask questions such as, "How much weight do you want to lose and over what period of time?" to confirm the detailed goal. The information gathering unit will also collect information such as, "I don't like dairy products," and reflect this in the meal plan. Step 2: The data analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the information collection unit. For example, the data analysis unit collects physiological data from the wearable device and analyzes heart rate, step count, sleep data, etc. The data analysis unit also analyzes meal photos uploaded by the user to identify the contents and nutrients of the meal. For example, it analyzes a photo of breakfast taken by the user and provides information such as "This meal is lacking in protein." Step 3: The plan generator generates a customized diet plan and fitness plan based on the data analyzed by the data analyzer. For example, if the user's health goal is to "lose weight" and the data from the wearable device indicates that the user takes fewer steps per day, the plan generator may suggest a fitness plan such as "walk more."

[0057] (Example 2) The FitGeniusCoachAI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that collects information on a user's health goals, lifestyle, food preferences, and allergies through a conversational AI interface, analyzes it using multimodal AI technology, including physiological data from wearable devices and visual data obtained from food photos uploaded by the user, and provides customized meal plans and fitness plans. In this way, the FitGeniusCoachAI system can support the user in achieving their health goals and promote lifestyle improvements.

[0058] The FitGeniusCoachAI system according to the embodiment includes an information collection unit, a data analysis unit, and a plan generation unit. The information collection unit collects information about a user's health goals, lifestyle, food preferences, and allergies. For example, if a user says, "I want to lose weight," the information collection unit asks questions such as, "How much weight do you want to lose and over what period of time?" to confirm the user's detailed goal. The information collection unit also collects information such as, "I don't like dairy products," and reflects this information in the meal plan. The data analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the information collection unit. For example, the data analysis unit collects physiological data from a wearable device and analyzes heart rate, step count, sleep data, and the like. The data analysis unit also analyzes meal photos uploaded by the user to identify the contents and nutrients of the meal. For example, the data analysis unit analyzes a photo of breakfast taken by the user and provides information such as, "This meal is lacking in protein." The plan generation unit generates a customized meal plan and fitness plan based on the data analyzed by the data analysis unit. For example, if a user's health goal is to "lose weight" and data from the wearable device indicates that "the number of steps taken per day is low," the plan generation unit will suggest a fitness plan such as "increase the amount of time you spend walking." This allows the FitGeniusCoachAI system according to the embodiment to support the user in achieving their health goal and promote lifestyle improvements.

[0059] The information collection unit analyzes the user's tone of voice and speaking speed to estimate their stress level and emotional state, and can adjust the content and timing of questions based on this. For example, the information collection unit analyzes the tone and speaking speed of the user's voice in real time to estimate their stress level. For example, if the user's voice is high-pitched and fast, it can determine that the user is stressed and ask questions to help them relax.

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.

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.

[0148] 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. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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).

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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."

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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. 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.
