[0028] (Example 1) The health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a generation AI to analyze a user's dietary records and weight data, and proposes optimal meal menus and exercise / activity plans. This allows the health management system to comprehensively support the user's health management.
[0029] A health management system according to an embodiment includes a meal record analysis unit, an exercise plan proposal unit, an ingredient information analysis unit, and a weight prediction visualization unit. The meal record analysis unit analyzes a user's meal record and weight data. For example, the meal record analysis unit records the menu items the user eats each day and inputs the data to the generation AI. The meal record analysis unit can also collect the user's weight data, which the generation AI can analyze. The exercise plan proposal unit proposes an appropriate amount of exercise and an activity plan based on the data analyzed by the meal record analysis unit. For example, the exercise plan proposal unit records the user's daily exercise amount and inputs the data to the generation AI. The exercise plan proposal unit can also use the data to propose an exercise plan suitable for the user. The ingredient information analysis unit provides a meal plan using seasonal ingredient information based on the exercise plan proposed by the exercise plan proposal unit. For example, the ingredient information analysis unit proposes menus using fresh vegetables and fruits in spring and menus that emphasize cold dishes and hydration in summer. The weight prediction visualization unit predicts future weight and body shape from the weight and meal records based on the meal plan provided by the ingredient information analysis unit, and visualizes the prediction results using a video of the user. For example, the weight prediction visualization unit allows the user to record their current weight and meal contents and input that data into the generation AI. The generation AI predicts future weight and body shape based on that data and visualizes the prediction results using a video of the user. This allows the health management system according to the embodiment to comprehensively support the user's health management. For example, the user can receive meal menu suggestions based on their eating habits and implement an appropriate exercise plan. Furthermore, predicting and visualizing future weight and body shape makes it easier for the user to maintain motivation to work toward their goals.
[0030] The food record analysis unit analyzes the user's past eating history and subsequent changes in physical condition, evaluates the impact of specific ingredients and dishes on the user, and can suggest optimal menus. For example, the generation AI in the food record analysis unit analyzes the user's eating history over the past year and subsequent changes in physical condition to evaluate the impact of specific ingredients and dishes on the user. For example, if the user tends to feel better after consuming a specific ingredient, the generation AI can suggest a menu that includes that ingredient. The food record analysis unit can also evaluate the impact of a specific dish on the user based on the user's eating history and changes in physical condition. For example, if the user's physical condition worsens after eating a specific dish, the generation AI can suggest that the user avoid that dish. This makes it possible to suggest optimal meal menus based on the user's health condition.
[0031] The exercise plan proposal unit can analyze the user's muscle fatigue level and heart rate data in real time and propose optimal exercise intensity and rest time. In the exercise plan proposal unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the user's muscle fatigue level in real time and proposes optimal exercise intensity and rest time. For example, if the muscle fatigue level is high, lighter exercise is proposed. The exercise plan proposal unit can also analyze the user's heart rate data in real time and propose optimal exercise intensity. For example, if the heart rate is high, it suggests lowering the exercise intensity. In addition, the exercise plan proposal unit can propose optimal rest time based on the user's muscle fatigue level and heart rate data. For example, appropriately setting rest time after exercise promotes muscle recovery. This makes it possible to propose an exercise plan that suits the user's physical condition.
[0032] The ingredient information analysis unit can analyze information on seasonal ingredients for each region and propose meal plans that utilize local specialties. For example, the generation AI can analyze information on seasonal ingredients for each region and propose meal plans that utilize local specialties. For example, it can propose menus using fresh seafood to a user in Hokkaido. The ingredient information analysis unit can also propose meal plans that match the season based on the ingredient information for each region. For example, it can propose menus using fresh vegetables and fruits in spring, and menus that emphasize cold dishes and hydration in summer. This makes it possible to propose meal plans that utilize local specialties.
[0033] The weight prediction visualization unit can analyze the user's weight fluctuation data and predict in detail the impact of specific meals and exercise on weight. In the weight prediction visualization unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the user's weight fluctuation data and predicts in detail the impact of specific meals on weight. For example, it predicts the impact of high-calorie meals on weight gain. The weight prediction visualization unit can also predict in detail the impact of specific exercises on weight based on the user's exercise data. For example, it predicts the impact of jogging on weight loss. The weight prediction visualization unit can also combine the user's diet and exercise data to comprehensively predict the impact on weight. For example, it predicts the impact of a specific combination of meals and exercise on weight. This makes it possible to predict the user's weight fluctuation in detail.
[0034] The weight prediction visualization unit analyzes the user's hormone balance and metabolic data to make more accurate weight and body type predictions. In the weight prediction visualization unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the user's hormone balance data to make more accurate weight predictions. For example, it predicts the impact of fluctuations in hormone balance on weight. The weight prediction visualization unit can also analyze the user's metabolic data to make more accurate body type predictions. For example, it predicts the impact of basal metabolic rate on body type. The weight prediction visualization unit can also combine the user's hormone balance and metabolic data to make more accurate weight and body type predictions. For example, it predicts the impact of fluctuations in hormone balance and metabolism on weight and body type. This allows for more accurate weight and body type predictions.
[0035] The weight prediction visualization unit can specifically visualize changes in appearance when predicting weight and body type, taking into account the user's clothing size and fashion style. For example, the weight prediction visualization unit specifically visualizes changes in appearance when the generation AI predicts weight and body type, taking into account the user's clothing size. For example, it displays how clothes fit after weight loss. The weight prediction visualization unit can also specifically visualize changes in appearance when the generation AI predicts weight and body type based on the user's fashion style. For example, it displays changes in body type that match the user's preferred fashion style. The weight prediction visualization unit can also specifically visualize changes in appearance when the generation AI predicts weight and body type, combining the user's clothing size and fashion style. For example, it simultaneously displays how clothes fit and changes in fashion style after weight loss. This makes it possible to specifically visualize changes in the user's appearance.
[0036] The weight prediction visualization unit can consider the user's health risks and suggest preventive measures when predicting their weight and body type. For example, when the generation AI predicts a user's weight and body type, the weight prediction visualization unit considers the risk of diabetes and suggests preventive measures. For example, it suggests a meal menu with low sugar intake. The weight prediction visualization unit can also suggest preventive measures when the generation AI predicts their weight and body type based on the user's health risk data. For example, it considers the risk of high blood pressure and suggests a meal menu with low salt intake. The weight prediction visualization unit can also analyze the user's health risk data in real time and suggest preventive measures when predicting their weight and body type. For example, it considers the risk of heart disease and suggests an appropriate exercise plan. This makes it possible to suggest preventive measures that take the user's health risks into account.
[0037] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0038] The health management system can also include a sleep analysis unit that analyzes the user's sleep data and suggests an optimal sleep schedule. For example, the sleep analysis unit records the user's sleep patterns, and the generation AI analyzes the data. The sleep analysis unit can also evaluate the user's sleep quality and provide advice for improvement. For example, if the user's sleep quality is low, the unit can suggest relaxation methods and appropriate bedtimes. This provides more comprehensive support for the user's health management.
[0039] The health management system can also include a stress analysis unit that analyzes the user's stress level and provides advice for stress reduction. For example, the stress analysis unit records the user's heart rate and breathing patterns, and the generation AI analyzes the data. The stress analysis unit can also evaluate the user's stress level and suggest relaxation methods and exercises for stress reduction. For example, it can suggest relaxation methods such as deep breathing and yoga. This can support the user's stress management.
[0040] The health management system can also include a hydration analysis unit that analyzes the user's water intake and suggests appropriate times to hydrate. For example, the hydration analysis unit records the user's water intake, and the generation AI analyzes the data. The hydration analysis unit can also suggest appropriate times to hydrate based on the user's activity level and temperature. For example, it can suggest hydration after exercise or on hot days. This can support the user's hydration management.
[0041] The health management system can also include a preference analysis unit that analyzes the user's food preferences and proposes meal menus tailored to each individual preference. For example, the preference analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's preferences based on the user's past meal records. The preference analysis unit can also customize meal menus based on the user's preferences. For example, if a user likes a particular ingredient, it can propose a menu using that ingredient. This can increase the user's satisfaction with their meal.
[0042] The health management system may further include an exercise history analysis unit that analyzes the user's exercise history and optimizes the exercise plan based on past exercise performance. For example, the exercise history analysis unit records the user's past exercise data, and the generation AI analyzes the data. The exercise history analysis unit may also evaluate the user's exercise performance and provide advice for improvement. For example, if a particular exercise was effective, the analysis unit may suggest continuing that exercise. This can more effectively support the user's exercise plan.
[0043] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0044] Step 1: The food record analysis unit analyzes the user's food record and weight data. For example, the user records the menu items they eat each day and inputs that data into the generation AI. The generation AI can also collect the user's weight data and analyze it. Step 2: The exercise plan suggestion unit suggests an appropriate amount of exercise and activity plan based on the data analyzed by the meal record analysis unit. For example, the unit records the user's daily exercise amount and inputs that data into the generation AI. The generation AI can also suggest an exercise plan suitable for the user based on that data. Step 3: The food information analysis unit uses seasonal food information to provide a meal plan based on the exercise plan proposed by the exercise plan proposal unit. For example, it suggests menus using fresh vegetables and fruits in spring, and menus that emphasize cold dishes and hydration in summer. Step 4: The weight prediction visualization unit predicts future weight and body shape from the weight and meal records based on the meal plan provided by the food ingredient information analysis unit, and visualizes the prediction results using a video of the user. For example, the user records their current weight and meal contents and inputs that data into the generation AI. The generation AI predicts future weight and body shape based on that data, and visualizes the prediction results using a video of the user.

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.
[0117] 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.
[0118] 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.
[0119] 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.
[0120] 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.
[0121] 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).
[0122] 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.
[0123] 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."
[0124] 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.
[0125] 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.
[0126] 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.
[0127] 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.
[0128] 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.
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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.
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
